Lyceon - The dark lord

Thana?

Allison heard this name in her faded memory. She was about to fall back on her brother's side when in a blink Lyceon raced towards her and caught her body before Mason could hold her.

"Angel..." He growled her name urgently and scooped her in his arms. Everyone was startled and worried about her condition. Lyceon strode towards the Sofa and placed her there. Mason trailed after them and held his sister's hand, who tried to sit on Sofa.

"I.... am fine!" Allison opened her mouth and breathed out. She raised her body and leaned back on the sofa.

"Get the water!" Lyceon yelled and Ashina grabbed the water bottle from the table before pouring it into the glass and passing it to Allison. She gulped the water greedily.

"What happened to her?" Mason demanded from Felicia as he caressed Allison's hair.

"I...I think something triggered her memory." Felicia looked into Allison's dull eyes. But then She sharpened her gaze remembering something.

"I need to wake it. Allison could you...."

"Enough!" Lyceon roared, shaking everyone in the room. Allison flinched back with his tone, grabbing his attention. He cursed under his breath and straightened up, curbing his anger to calm down. He held her cold hand softly. Allison tried to free it but He clasped it in a firm grip and glared at Felicia who lowered her eyes and bowed in front of her king.

"She is not in the condition to respond to your queries right now, Felicia. Let her take a rest, we will do it later.."

"No!" Allison interrupted him and turned to Felicia, "You can ask me anything, Cia. I want to know more, I want to know everything that is related to me, my family and this prophecy."

Felica looked up at her in hesitancy, and turned her gaze to Lyceon nervously. obviously she couldn't disobey her king's order.

Lyceon squeezed Allison's hand.

Allison covered his hand with another and looked into his eyes. "If you are chosen by my mother, then I have the right to know everything from the beginning." She swallowed her saliva as her throat thickened with emotions.

"I want to know the reason for my mother's sacrifices. What she did and why? I know my mother was a kind, strong and powerful witch and that's why I wouldn't let her sacrifices go in vain. Please, let her tell me." She pressed her lips with watery eyes and looked at Felicia with hope.

Felicia looked at Lyceon who stared at his mate for a good one minute and then nodded reluctantly. Felicia turned her gaze to Ashina and Rebecca then.

"Allison, what we know, we will tell you, but there is more to it which we are also unaware about." Ashina mentioned.

"What do you mean?" Allison asked Ashina with a frown marred on her face. Ashina took a deep breath before telling Allison a story about their parents.

"Your mother Akira, our parents and Rebecca's parents had been friends since their high school days. My father Shane Whitlock, the Lycan king had been ruling and protecting the werewolves and Lycan clan efficiently. My mother Maya Whitlock was the Alpha female and as a couple they were the strongest in the whole continent. No one could stand against their powers." Ashina said with pride in her heart even though she never had the chance to see her parents in person. She took a deep breath, suppressing her emotion before telling further.

"Minna and Bernard, Rebecca's father, and Akira were his best friends and they stood with each other through thick and thin. Everything was going well, they found their mates, married, shifted, got powers and all. But then the immortal Vampire leader Keir Frederick disturbed the peace of the supernatural by attacking the Lycan kingdom."

Allison never heard any of her mother's friends from her or her father. She wanted to ask who Minna was but she reserved her question as she didn't want to disturb Ashina.

"Of course the Lycans were more powerful than all the shapeshifters and creatures that existed but Keir couldn't digest this fact. He wanted supremacy, the control in his hands. And his first step was to weaken the Lycans anyhow, so to erase them from the earth he

started the big conspiracy thirty years ago. Everyone used to follow the rules of the council made by the community collectively to live in harmony without interfering in each other's businesses until Keir decided to break them. He manipulated the army of a few werewolves with the help of witches and other vampires to his interest to get the power and reign on the earth."

Ashina sighed, forcing the words out of her mouth. Her inside burned as she took his name, She didn't want to talk about that bastard but it was necessary to tell Allison and Mason.

"How did he manage to stand against the Lycans?" Mason asked, intrigued. He still remembers that his father told him once that the infamous vampire king Keir was killed by the lycans. But the rumours spread around that he fled away and disappeared after losing the war. No one knows about his whereabouts till now.

"His chosen mate, Thana, helped him in his mission. She is a black witch holding super powers. Both of them were hungry for supremacy and power. Having the powers of Thana, He lured many shapeshifters to their sides and attacked various werewolf packs and eradicated them into ashes who believed to stay in harmony but he was not in this favour. He didn't want anyone to be superior to him. He was a very powerful and vicious vampire who was a hungry bloodsucker. His planning turned fruitful when twenty-eight years ago He announced the war with his giant army including Vampires, witches, werebears, Manticores and whatnot. They killed the whole Royal lycans community with the use of drugs, wolf banes and spells. That bloodbath is unimaginable."

Felicia chose to answer him, recalling her mother's words when she used to hear those great war stories in her childhood. How the strongest Alphas, witches and other creatures of their times lost their lives in the war. "Twenty eight years ago? What about my parents? What happened to them and...." Allison glanced at Lyceon. ".... the Lycans and others?"

She realised that her mother was alive then. It's been almost eight years since she died in the war. If it was not for that war, then where did she go eight years ago and never come back? She still remembers that unfortunate day when her mother hurriedly left the home before kissing her daughter's forehead and asking her to be strong.
