Fated To The Forbidden Lycan Brothers

Svetlana “Yes! Harder! Oh Viktor! Don’t stop!” Laughter and a sound I didn’t know how to name echoed from the sitting room. I stepped inside with a lemon cake in my hands, heart fluttering with anticipation and great joy. I was here to see my betrothed, Viktor. The cake fell off my hands as I stared at Viktor, my husband to be and Ophelia, my cousin and lifelong tormentor together, covered in sweat and their bodies tangled together without shame. Ophelia turned lazily, mockery dancing on her lips as she rolled her eyes as she bit her lips. “Don’t stop now, I’m about to cum.” She muttered and I felt my heart tighten as my eyes blurred in seconds. A huge lump grew on my throat and I blinked back tears as I stepped back slowly, shaking my head. My hands trembled greatly as I broke into sweat. “No… It can’t be Viktor… This… This isn’t him…” I whispered, trying to believe my word but they were still together, undaunted by my presence and it crushed my heart. “V… Vik…” “I’m sorry babe but I can’t leave Ophelia unsatisfied, my pride will not allow it. I’ll see you tonight.” That was the only explanation I got and my hands fell to my sides. No remorse, they didn’t stop or acknowledge my presence, it felt like I was a third wheel in their union. Today was different, today was special, it was OUR two years anniversary, my birthday and OUR engagement day. I was about to burst from so much excitement but the sight before me erased every form of happiness coursing through my veins. I felt empty and with hot tears burning their way down my cheeks, I ran out of the house, Ophelia’s laughter echoing in my ears as I headed to the palace. I didn’t stop until I got to the palace and I ran into the throne room, flinging myself onto my brother who was seated, smiling as he conversed with a few guests. “Cancel the ceremony!” I yelled, sobbing loudly as I held him tightly. “Svetlana, what’s wrong? Who has wronged you? Did something happen? Talk to me Lana.” He pleaded as he stared at me. “Vi… Viktor…” “Viktor did this to you? That bastard! I’ll have the guards capture and punish him! No one dares to cause pain to my sister.” He thundered and I shook my head. “He… He was with…” I choked on words and he patted my hair softly. “With Ophelia…” “Calm down, Lana, everything will be alright… Talk to me, talk to your big brother, I’ll make sure Viktor pays for this.” He assured me and I nodded as I slowly wiped away the tears although the pain in my heart grew with every passing moment. “Cancel… Cancel everything, I don’t want to ever speak with him or anyone… I just want to be alone. I want them out of the kingdom forever. It hurts so much, brother.” I whispered, my voice breaking and he exhaled as he caressed my hair. “Consider it done, please be calm, Lana. I’ll have the guards punish him for doing such a hideous thing to you and Ophelia will be confined to her room for a month. I’ll take Viktor gravel at your feet and pay dearly for this.” He assured me and before I could respond, a man cleared his throat. My attention shifted to his guests who were extremely tall men with scary faces. I swallowed hard as a chill ran down my spine, making me forget about my heartache for a moment. They weren’t ordinary people like us, they were werewolves, not just the regular one but wolves from beyond, the Northern and Southern region, the dreaded realms of the deadly Lycan brothers. Although I knew their visits never brought any good because their presence gave everyone chills, I couldn’t help but wonder why they were here. “Lana, return to your chambers, I’ll have the servants deliver your favorite dishes…” “No, the human must stay.” A man who was dressed in black robe announced and my brother shook his head while I stared at both of them with confusion. Women were never allowed to discuss important matters, why was I asked to stay back? “She must leave in order for us to discuss trivial matters…” “We want her.” He announced and I gasped while my brother stepped forward protectively. “She’s not for sale, she’s my little sister and she is but a child who knows nothing about your ways, please choose any other maiden in the land.” He replied and I frowned, confused as to what they were saying but from how nervous Ivan looked, it was clear that they didn’t have good intentions. Why the heck would they want a grieving lady? “She’ll be good for our alpha, we want her and no other girl.” The man replied, his eyes filled with determination and Ivan shook his head vigorously, sighing heavily before he fell to his knees. “Please, take pity upon me, she is my only sister, she’s still young and pure with no idea on how to please or serve the Alpha… Take gold, take land, take ten maidens if you wish…take me instead. But spare her. She is my only blood.” He pleaded and I froze. In all my years of living, not once have I ever seen Ivan on his knees before anyone or his voice hoarse, he was always unfazed by everything around but this was different. What did he mean by serve the alpha king? I was beginning to feel uncomfortable and their lingering gaze only made things worse. “She’s the one we want and she will make a good s*x slave for the alpha, get her.” He ordered one of the men beside him and my eyes widened when the man stepped forward and grabbed my arms roughly. “No! Let go of me! Please! Ivan!” I yelled but he kept pulling me away while Ivan stepped forward, unsheathing his sword. “Please let go of her!” I had never seen so much desperation in my brother’s eyes, he was ready to kiss their feet if they wanted. “One step from you the entire kingdom will be flowing with blood, here is the money.” With that, he dropped a bag of money on the ground. “Ivan! Please help me! Don’t let them take me away!” I pleaded with tears streaming down my cheeks and Ivan stared at me, unable to do anything as he sobbed quietly, his face filled with great sadness. “Silence, Human!” The man thundered and I couldn’t help but curse the day I was born. Today was supposed to be my engagement, birthday and anniversary but everything turned sour as it became the day I was betrayed and forcefully bought, the beginning of my purgatory.
