DARK AFFECTION.
1037 Words
Lyulph's Pov.
We grew up in a home with no affection but in a dark, toxic home.
Lycandra was so innocent and naive.
She turned ten and shifted into her wolf form for the first time.
I was so happy for her, I let my guard down and was unaware at the time she got kidnapped and almost got raped in her wolf form, in the dark woods by my uncle.
It took the clan two days to search and find her but Lycandra no longer had the zeal to shift anymore.
She dropped everything, built up a defense mechanism around her. Having the mindset that if she ever shift, she will get raped again.
That also built up my defense even more and I made a vow to always protect her, make her feel safe to the day she changes her mind, heals and shifts again...
No matter how cruel the world was to her, she still had this innocent look on her face.
I was so drawn to her and made a promise to protect those innocent looks of hers.
But something was born within me the minute I made such a decision.
I fell in love with Lycandra.
I tried so many ways to hide it, and did a lot of things to make sure I wasn't insane.
The more I tried, the more these forbidden burning feelings grew within me.
I turned cold with anything she did, thinking that if I should behave that way, she will hate me and my feelings will burn out.
I was wrong.
It grew even more.
My abusive father forces Lycandra to shift or he will hand her over to the rogues to bargain with some stupid property since she was becoming useless to him.
I knew what his plans were. So I tried forcing Lycandra to shift for the sake of my life and always got beaten because of her. I could endure the pain as long as she was in safe hands.
I took every mistake she made, swallowed it, and got punished for it because I love her and I don't want her to get hurt.
I couldn't hold back my feelings anymore, it was now or never.
It was the moon festival.
I didn't want to go through the thought of seeing her with a fated mate.
I had the feeling we weren't fated mates but I was scared of losing her to someone else and also scared of meeting my mate.
Because meeting my mate will prevent me from focusing on her, thereby, shifting all the attention and responsibilities to my mate.
So, I avoided Lycandra for days just to heal.
The thought of another Alpha touching her infuriated me.
While I was drinking my glass of red wine, I heard someone call out to me.
My glass fell off my hands and smashed on the green grass.
Lycandra.
I got up and ran fast to where I was hearing the voice from in my mindlink to save Lycandra.
I saw an Alpha holding Lycandra's neck, I punched him across the face and kicked him in the stomach so fast he couldn't predict my next move.
Another Alpha was behind him. There was another strange Alpha who was frowning as his gaze was fixed on me.
"What in the f*****g world do you think you are doing to her? Who are you?' I snapped knowing the presence of these Alphas didn't sound right to me.
"She seemed suspicious to me, especially finding out now that she is my mate."
There was silence between the three of us for a minute, no one spoke a word.
"So, the both of you are her mates, correct?' I questioned with a frown.
I was dying inside.
"Yes, I am her mate, I found out as soon as I got closer to her,' he uttered. "And who might you be, finest Alpha?'
"Don't tell me you are her boyfriend?' The other scoffed.
I stepped forward. "What if I am and besides you shouldn't be hurting her when you know that fact.'
"Like I told you, I just found out about it,' the first Alpha came forward. "Will you step aside and let me claim my mate."
I shook my head with a smirk. "She is mine as well.' my eyes glowed and the three Alphas knew who I was.
"No! Lycandra screamed. "I am not going with you. I don't ever want to be your mate.'
Then, another one stepped in.
I knew what I had to do and the most shocking part of it all was, I was one of them.
I took Lycandra and escaped from her mates.
If I let them claim her, it was going to be dangerous.
Lycandra has encountered her mates and if she gets too deep with them, she will be influenced and marked. Be their mate and forget about me.
Isn't that a good thing? No, it is not a good thing, it's a psycho for me to not want my sister to meet her mates.
Three Alphas. Rebellious ones, who give a damn about no one but themselves.
I will never hand her over to them for any damn reason.
I am going to protect her and I don't care if I'm one of them too.
After our lovemaking, I silently got out of bed and walked back to my room to process my thoughts.
I needed to be alone.
I can't believe this.
I had just made love with Lycandra after so many years of enduring my desires.
I heard a knock on my door.
I opened it and it was Bjorn.
He was in his white joggers and black turtleneck long sleeve with his hair tied up as he walked into my room.
I shut the door behind him as he walked to my bed and sat down on it.
"How did you know I was at home? How did you get in?'
"I predicted it.' he simply replied. "Your father will be out with his mistress by this time and your mother will be at the beauty salon all evening so I know you will be at home on every WEDNESDAY too."
I sighed.
