The Lycan's Weapon のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Ryuu walked into the kitchen, then froze up when he met eyes with Mabel. *Well, this is a fun start to a new day.* He mused. He quickly turned on his heels to leave. "You don't have to do that." Mabel said, freezing him in his tracks. Ryuu turned around with a nervous grin. "Do what?""Run away the second you see me. It's getting pretty annoying at this point.""I'm sorry ma'am." Ryuu muttered and Mabel's brows wrinkled."Ma'am?"Ryuu's eyes widened."I'm sorry!" He yelled, waving his arms around. "I just have no idea how to address you. It's been even more awkward since you called me out on my feelings for Faye.""I didn't do that to accuse you, I did it out of genuine concern for your life.""Yeah, I've seen the way Emris looks at me.." Ryuu let out a nervous chuckle as he scratched the back of his head. "But, he's grateful to you for protecting Faye." Mabel informed. "I am too."Ryuu smiled. "I did what I had to do."Mabel smiled back as she plated her food. "You want some?"

The moon bonding ceremony happened four times a year, every three months. It was a sacred night where bonds and fated love was celebrated. And the Lycans -more in tune with nature and peace- uphold it as one of the greatest nights for their race. It was unexpected, but the recent turn of events favoured Faye. Her mind raced with a thousand thoughts as she made her way to her room, Nick's words repeating in her mind like a coo-coo clock.She *did* claim she would make Emris love her. However, nothing went her way for the past month. Their role as a couple seemed like a gift from the moon goddess. A small smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. "Seems like I'll enjoy this after all. I didn't have to play the jealousy card with him for as long as I thought I would." She heard a knock on her door, and her smirk grew when she sensed Emris. "Come in."The door swung open, and Emris leaned against the frame with his arms crossed. "Let's get back to training."*Typical Emris. After e

The day of the moon bonding ceremony came quicker than Faye had hoped. It was 9am, and she stood with Mabel in one of the many empty rooms in the Mansion, practicing the sacred moon bond dance. Their movements were slow, graceful and mesmerising."What exactly is this dance for again?" Ryuu asked, sitting at one corner of the large room and snacking on a bag of chips. "It's a sacred dance performed at the peak of the ceremony when the moon is at its highest and brightest. The performance is done by a couple chosen by the Alpha, which -in this case- is Faye and Emris.""It looks like a pretty intimate dance..." Ryuu trailed off. "It's supposed to be. The dance is said to be first performed by Lucan and Mireya; the first Lycans. They fell deeply in love, and on their wedding night-after their souls had become one, they danced under the moonlight. The moon goddess was so pleased that she blessed their union. That was the day the term and concept; mate was born." "That's so...romanti

*What did he just say?* Faye's eyes went wide, and she held her breath when his gaze shifted- a look of absolute longing in them. *This is fake...right?* She clenched her jaw, then avoided his eyes. "Keep your eyes on me, Faye." He commanded as they circled each other, their hands crossed as they moved instinctively to the music. Faye hesitated, but met his eyes once again. They moved in perfect synchrony, as if they'd danced together for lifetimes. Emris subtly touched the back of her neck, and she let out a gasp as her body shuddered. She turned around, drawing closer to him, and he lifted her off the floor, gently lowering her to the ground. Now, their faces inches apart, Faye held his face in her small hands and her heart skipped a beat when he let out a low, satisfied growl. Then, just as the music slowed down, Faye rested her head on Emris' chest. They looked at each other and touched their foreheads together to end the dance. Suddenly, the moon's bright glow bled into a

Faye found herself in a room that seemed to stretch for miles and miles without an end. There were gorgeous candles to brighten the room, but the light on the candles were not fire, they were stars. She looked up at the ceiling, and she couldn't see the moon or the stars, but a vast darkness. "Where...am I?" She breathed, her heart drumming against her chest. "Emris?!" "Well isn't that cute?" The star goddess appeared out of thin air, provoking a gasp from Faye, "But you are both so frustrating. Well, especially Emris."Faye swallowed, "Who are you? And where am I?"The star goddess grinned, "To everyone else, I'm the goddess of the stars. But to you, my dear Haemera, I'm Nymirra."Faye's eyes narrowed as she observed Nymirra's appearance, and they went wide, "Who...are you?""Silly!" Nymirra giggled, floating off the ground and playfully flying around Faye, "I just told you, keep up.""Do you want to kill me?" Faye questioned, nervously gripping on her dress, "Because I'm Haemera
