▪️WEREWOLF ROMANCE▪️
"Would you rather I chain you to a post and have you sleep on the ground outside?" Edric raised a brow.
His response caught me off guard and I stammered, "W-what? No... I-"
"It can be arranged," the Lycan King scowled.

"Dammit Edric! I told you not to ram me so hard!" I moaned, while the dull ache between my thighs painfully throbbed.
"And I already told you that I know you can take it! So, take it!"
We were by the edge of one of the nearby forests, close to the lake. The light of the moon shone beautifully against the landscape, creating a soothing atmosphere.
I let out a disgruntled huff and glanced up at him.
Flashing me one of his sinful smiles, "Don't look at me like that, after all, you're the one that told me not to go easy on you, so you can't back out now. Besides, the more you can block a full hit against me, the more formidable your shielding techniques will be on the battlefield."
Even though he had just brutally knocked me down onto the ground, causing me to land in a badly timed split, I took a deep breath and nodded, knowing that he was right.
I had asked for this.
Wincing slightly, I slowly stood up and faced him again. Squaring my shoulders, I then allowed myself to go back into my stance, my outer body glowing once more.
Over the last few weeks, my blocking techniques as well as some of my other magical abilities had improved dramatically. Though I still could not floor Edric, I had been able to knock him slightly off balance a few times.
Which had been no easy feat!
We were working on my ability to keep my own balance stable, in the event that I ever came face to face with a Lycan or werewolf. That way, my shield would at least be able to protect me for a little while if I were ever attacked.
As Edric once again rushed towards me, I suddenly turned my head towards the forest. The glow of my shield dropped as my attention shifted and my eyes vigilantly scanned the tree lining, feeling as though we were being watched.
Detecting my anxiety, he stopped and asked, "What is it?"
"I'm not exactly sure, but something is wrong. We're in danger," I said while turning my body to face the forest clearing.
Shaking his head at me, "Nonsense... The Lycans at the border would have alerted us if something was–" Edric suddenly stilled mid-sentence, his nostrils flaring.
His grey-green eyes narrowed at me in surprise, and with just that one look, I knew that I had been right.
Something was very wrong!
Lifting his nose in the air, he abruptly shed his boots and trousers before I could even blink.
"Run Lenna!" he ordered, then howled for reinforcements.
For some unknown reason, something about this very moment felt so eerily familiar and hairs on the back of my neck began to rise.
As I stood and watched Edric shift before me, my body stiffened, seemingly rooted to the spot. Even though I had memorised every enthralling inch of him, I could not help but be transfixed at the sight of his Lycan beast.
