THE NEXT morning when I came home, I directly went to my garden where my roses were planted. I filled a bucket full of water and watered my plants accordingly. Feeling satisfied, I headed inside and saw Papa reading his daily newspaper. I sat with him for a little while and talked about various things.

I realized that I haven't gone for a run in a very long time. I changed my clothes and decided to notify Papa. My inner wolf was also agitated that I haven't released her yet. Running or releasing my wolf always relaxed my muscles, it made me realize that I am free to do whatever I wish. There's beauty in running, it's a gift, a gift of freedom.

On a run, endless paths reveal themselves; Walls and obstacles. Yes, it can be overwhelming sometimes and the pain we receive as an after effect can hurt too but they are just detours. Running far in the forests is completely founded on simplicity and independence which one, alone fully owns.

"Hey Papa, what are you up to?" I asked him as he was getting ready; wearing one of his blue suits with his black shoes, looking like a true Alpha. Even though he was no more an Alpha yet he looked like one.

"I see you're back, come here give Papa a hug." Papa smiled.

I chuckled and went towards him, he hugged me and kissed my forehead and ruffled my hair. I groaned "Papa! not the hair at least." I whined like a kid. He just laughed in response.

"I along with your Uncle Elliot are going to go and check the Eastern borders and then have a check on the wolf army," Papa said. 'check on a wolf army, that's strange' my wolf wondered.

My thoughts went back to the conversation between Uncle Elliot and his pack members.

Feeling pessimistic or rather inquisitive I asked papa, why?

"Just some orders kiddo, what will you do today?" He asked not giving any additional information.

"I was about to go for a run in the forest." I shrugged and Papa nodded.

"I'll be back in a few hours. Stay safe, and don't overrun." Papa kissed my forehead and went for the exit. " The whole situation revolving around the check on wolves didn't bring positive vibes to me but anyway, I didn't think much.

"Bye Papa,'' I yelled purposely.

When I reached the forest region, I felt a cold chill shoot up my spine. I was uneasy. I stood up and could feel how badly my legs were trembling. I had the chills, but I was not cold. There were countless butterflies in my stomach just floating around causing uncertainty deep inside of my body.

I always felt this foolish feeling whenever I was ready to shift in my wolf form. I looked at the sky, only to see that grey loamy clouds have started to make their way, Strange just now it was sunny.

I found a shady area under a big oak tree and stood there to stretch my limbs, I always did this, I started to stretch and could feel how sore and tight my muscles were. It hurt when I tried to touch my feet. I easily shifted in my wolf form, I finally blocked myself out of the hostile world.

My knees were bent, and I was ready for the run. The next few seconds were filled with nothing but complete silence.

The whistle of the wind was the only thing that was heard throughout the whole forest. I was completely potent on what I was going to do, and what had to be done. I let myself float off in my little world. I was the only person in this world.

The overwhelming greyish sky was above my head. I was in a zone; this happy, peaceful and tranquil place slowly let out all of the nervousness and pressure that was building up inside of me. I was ready to run my heart out.

I felt on top of the world, it was so comforting and the chirping of birds was music to my ears. The trees were so high as if they were competing with one another on who would reach the sky first, the thought made me chuckle. I saw how my wolf was so determined and concentrated that it ignored all the fragile creatures watching as it ran in awe. My wolf slowed down and instead of running it was walking now, admiring the work of Goddess.

We walked slowly along with golden leaves falling from the trees, it was a blessing, pure beauty and the feeling that the forest filled me with was pure ecstasy and a sensation of desire.

We saw a river nearby and my wolf decided to quench it's thirst as she walked towards it. My wolf touched the water and a shiver ran down our spines. When she got used to the coldness of the water she started drinking it.

I felt the coolness of the water as it went down her throat. While drinking, we once again blocked out the outer world and focused on ourselves but we didn't realize that a wolf was trying to transcend us as it jumped in the river, splashing the cold water on us.

My wolf didn't like this at all and immediately roared, scowling at the other wolf. The other wolf was very huge, much bigger than us and it held a mocking look, challenging us. Of course, my wolf was in charge so she lunged at him while the other wolf easily dodged. It was trying to play us and my wolf thought her self as a player.

While the other one was calm, my wolf was snarling and showing anger. The other wolf ran towards the bushes to change into it's human form and so did I.

Coming face to face with the trouble maker, I saw that he was a man, probably in his early twenty's. To say that he was gorgeous would be a huge understatement as he was very beautiful but had a personality of a jerk. He came towards me and forwarded his hand for a handshake. I raised my eyebrow and easily ignored him. Of course, he reeked royalty, he wasn't a part of the East which was well defined.

"Hello, the name is, Lukas Dante," the man said proudly with a slight smirk dancing on his lips.

"I didn't ask for your name. Did I?" I asked.

"I see, my charms have no effect on you. Most of the girls kiss the floor I walk upon," He said proudly. I wanted to snatch the smirk which was dancing over his face.

What a narcissistic jerk.

Lukas's accent was very different from the East and the West. It wasn't showing any Southern hint in it too, was he from the North?

"Where are you from? you don't look familiar," I asked, looking at him from his head to his toe and giving him a stink eye while narrowing my eyes.

"You don't look like a Northern too," I added.

"Correct, I don't belong from any of these sides. As a matter of fact, you don't know my kind. Let's keep that as a secret, well, atleast he made sure of that," Lukas muttered the last part under his breath as he looked slightly annoyed.

Lukas was a tall and well-built guy. He had curly golden hair, his face was nicely built with a sharp jawline. His features were cute. But I didn't have the same judgements for his personality.

"Not as cute as mine," said my wolf. I rolled my eyes.

All of a sudden, my head started spinning for some odd reasons. All I wanted to do was go home and sleep.

"Well, I would lie if I say, I had a good time. I hope we would not cross paths again, a prayer made from the bottom of my heart. Good bye, Lukas," I said as I turned around and started walking to the direction opposite to him.

"Bye señorita." I rolled my eyes and sighed exasperatedly. The nerve of the guy.

King

Beyond my window is where I see all the sides. The North, The South, The East, and The West. I rule every side, the affliction of my wrath is deeply ingrained under the grounds of each side. Everybody feared me, feared my spirit. I have been ruling for over a thousand years now and no one has seen me for who I am yet. No Alpha or wolf has seen my face, it's better to stay cover and rule than expose my next moves.

My enemies have spent most of their lives in finding me. They want to detonate my rule but sad to say all of them have died due to their old ages. Even If I stand right infront of them, still they wouldn't be able to see me.

Thanks to my Mother, who is a witch. She made an invisible cloak for me. Only my bloodline can see me, anyone else could not see a thing.

When I look at myself in the mirror, all I see is a cruel yet victorious king. I was nurtured this way. From the day I was born, I was only meant to safeguard what's mine this includes my family and all the sides. All the four sides are my pack but little do they know their true king is me and not their alphas. Father always taught me to be strong, to be a warrior and my cruelty is a disastrous gift given by him.

My mother is a witch while my father was a Lycan wolf, the first-ever wolf that came into existence. I have a sister and two brothers who are also Lycans like me. I don't have a mate and I will never find her and never have her.

A king like me should not have any weaknesses and an emotionless Lycan can never understand or feel a mate so the bond is useless for me.

I have darkness inside of me, one when comes in supervision constrains me from everything. I try to move, but I am restrained. I listen, but I hear nothing. I try to smell but I only smell fear. If it wasn't for my heart thumping and my lungs racing to catch up, I might imagine I am dreaming, but I'm not.

The kind of darkness which eats you up only to resurface again, to get more alive. With each second of my darkness, I feel as if I get cornered and locked in a far place in my mind, the light in me only dims but never goes away. My only thread of hope that I am holding onto, the light is there, I know I can feel it, I can sense it. It is far but it is there. My light. My shine.

This darkness brings crusades and desires to just hold onto that light forever, to never let it go. The darkness, when comes, pushes me in my lowest points where only I wait for it to end. It is deep but I wait for it to end like it always ends but again drowns me. I shrug all these thoughts away as I sense my brother, Lukas Dante coming in the palace covered in wet dirt and the faint scent of forests and...light?
