"You banged her, didn't you?" he asked with a solemn tone.
I rolled my eyes at him. "Yeah, I did." I answered.
"Why, Lyulph?'
"What do you mean by that? I finally did what I had always wanted to do and you are asking me why?!'
"You shouldn't have slept with her? What has come over you?' he calmly scolded.
"I have every right to be in bed with her, she is my woman and my mate okay.'
"She is still young you know, you and I both know you have feelings for Lycandra but what if she discovers that you deceived her into having s*x with you when she is fated to three Alphas. Including you, of course. Come on, Dude, don't do this to yourself. I know it's exciting to be having s*x with Lycandra, but are you ready to face the consequences.'
"Yes, I am ready and it's not exciting to be having s*x with my mate.'
"Why don't you tell her you are her mate as well? You and I both know she will choose you in seconds.'
"Yeah, I have to tell her everything, I can't keep hiding it anymore but I can't do it. This is not the time for her to know who I am.' I uttered and walked closer to the door and slowly paced around my bed.
"Why are you hesitating?' Bjorn questioned as he turned to me with a raised brow.
"We are both eighteen years old, Bjorn. And I'm beginning to have regrets. I should never have confessed my feelings to her. I should have kept it to myself."
Lycandra's Pov.
I just came out of my room to go take some candy when I spotted uncle Daniel coming towards me.
"Uncle Daniel.' I beamed and ran to hug him.
He bent down and hugged me, then he kissed me.
"How are you?'
"I'm good and you?'
"I'm doing well, Lycandra," he nodded. "Can you come meet me in the forest tonight.'
I jerked up from my sleep with a scream. I wrapped my hands around my body to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
I sighed as soon as I saw my room and how naked my body was.
I can't believe I had such a dream about my uncle.
After six years, why do I still remember him?
He is supposed to be banished from my memories, not recalling his disgusting attitude.
He is the reason I lost my wolf form and I'm bearing the burden for his mistakes.
"Lycandra,' I heard Lyulph's voice. He seemed freshen up from the shower as he came closer to me.
"Did you have a nightmare?'
"Yes.' I responded.
"What was it about?'
"It was about uncle Daniel.' I answered with a clenched fist.
"You mean, you had a dream about the bastard?'
"Yes.' I answered and looked at him. "Lyulph…"
"I know what you want to say and I don't want to hear it from you.'
"But this is important." I persisted.
"It is not for me.'
"But it is to me."
He sighed. "What do you want to say to me?'
"What about our parents?'
"What happened to them?"
"We just had s*x, Lyulph. This is a taboo and it is not allowed for siblings to f**k each other.'
"It's this what you want to tell me after going four rounds with me. You wanna teach me about doing the right thing or what?"
"Lyulph…"
"He is still alive, you know. If you want me to kill him, that will be in a couple of years. So bear with it.' He rolled his eyes and was about to walk out on me when I stopped him.
"I've always loved you, Lyulph.' I silently confessed. "You've always been the one I…"
"Father still wants you to shift into your wolf form, remember, he will break you down if you don't shift.'
I stood up from the bed in a hurry taking my robe along with me as I wore it and shut the door. I held the key in my hand and blocked his path.
"What are you doing, Lycandra, get out of the way.'
"Why the sudden change in attitude?'
"What are you even saying?'
"Is it because I told you about that bastard?'
"I've told you countless times to shift into your wolf form. You've got to do this the hard way or take the second option but you are disagreeing with me. You have to do it.'
"What do you mean by" I have to do it? No matter how many times I try to do it, it doesn't work at all.'
"You have to try harder, Lycandra?' he pushed me aside, I quickly held his arm.
"Why? Just why are you always avoiding me? It makes me sick to the stomach. After everything we had, was all that just for nothing?'
"No, it isn't for nothing. I blame myself for listening to you.'
"What do you mean?'
"I lusted after you and f****d you shitless, aren't you disgusted?'
"If I'm disgusted, I wouldn't be standing here with you. I would have wrecked the whole place down. First of all, I don't care about the lovemaking we just had, what I care about is loving you. But, I want to know your reasons for turning cold against me and leaving me…"
"You asked about your mates earlier?'
"Huh!' My heart skipped.
"Within an hour, father will be coming home soon and he will want to discuss your wedding plans.'
"Wedding plans? What are you saying?'
'`I'm saying as soon as we graduate from high school, you will be getting married to Xolotl's elder brother.'
No! No!
I grabbed him in the shoulder. "You are lying, tell me that you are f*****g lying to my face right now, don't lie to me.'
"I'M NOT LYING TO YOU.' He yelled.
"Xolotl's family have the power to control werewolves' and only his family can do that. In return, if they help you, you have to marry his brother. That's father's plans for you and I can't protect you this time, Lycandra.'
I could not forget Lyulph's last words, it brought tears to my eyes.
Lyulph pushed me aside and left my room.
