The Mountain of the Alpha King

[As of 11/30/23 this novel's ROUGH DRAFT is COMPLETED] [Warning: 18+ Content! - cursing, dark themes, sexual content, and other adult matters are present - NOTE: there is NO 'knotting' in this story for both those who come looking for it, and those who want to avoid it. I just wanted to give a head's up either way. LGBTQ+ representation is also in this novel. :)] This is book one of the Ylphasia series. War, betrayal, loss, growth - none of these things were aspects of life that Myranda had in mind when she finally met her destined mate. The only problem was that her chosen was someone she absolutely despised - Prince Metas, the next rightful King to the Lycan Kingdom. From the bottom rungs of society, everything above her seemed like a dream - it was too bad her preconceived notions were far from wrong. In their journey to make a brighter future for their entire kingdom, Metas and Myranda learn that there is so much more to just being mates than their shared love. As they navigate the complications of starting a revolution, both Metas and Myranda discover just how compatible they actually are - and how much their paring means for the future of their kind. ----------------------------------------------------- [EXCERPT] "If you want my place so much, you should challenge me when the time comes. This is cowardice. You think I can beat you-no...You know I can beat you, and so you're trying to hurt Myranda to make me weaker. You're a bastard, a cheat and a liar, and you don't deserve to rule over our kingdom - and you never will. You have no valor, no honor - and no moral compass," Metas spat towards him, and kept his hair up on end involuntarily. "I'm drunk right now and easily pushed you over like a small paper bag filled with shit. Since you've so brilliantly shown what you'd truly like to do, I'll make sure she is safe from you. Meanwhile, perhaps you should train or learn better tactics from your papa," Metas continued, and even grinned with delight. "Even if you beat me in combat, the rest of those in power want to see you fall. You won't last," Silas warned, and reformed into his mortal self. "...but I do intend on challenging you. Unless you want to kill me right here and now since you're so confident." "There is no honor in killing you without the glory of showing you exactly what I am capable of in front of everyone. I will take Joss' advice and do nothing for now. I don't want to throw away honor for revenge. If you come near her again, I will kill you before you ever get the chance to prance around in front of high society with a little speech, and show off to your wife and no friends. Understand?" Metas asked menacingly, and now his gums were visible as saliva dripped from his lips and teeth, barely holding himself back. "I will drink your blood through your eye sockets if you lay one more fucking claw on her - understood?" Metas warned as he advanced towards the blonde male. "You letting me live will be the biggest regret of your life, Metas. Hold those words close to your heart when you lose everything to me," Silas sneered and turned away, but not before he locked eyes with Joss with a dare in his green orbs.

Boiling Point

That was it. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Everything suddenly exploded into a fire storm as Veltar chased after Jyriah. He was going to fight for Jessie. She was his moonlight mate, and he craved being at her side freely and openly. It wasn't fair.

"I think you're making a big deal about nothing, and you're being an asshole!" Veltar belted and grabbed Jyriah by the back of his shirt to jerk him backwards.

"Fight me. Right now. Take to your paws and fight me you little whiny bitch" he challenged the fireball with deep contempt in his eyes. "We'll just settle this here and now."

"Oh, you want me to fight you? Let's fight, then. Sure. I can't wait to show Joss what kind of piece of shit you are," Jyriah snapped and as he fell onto his ass, he flipped over onto his belly and transformed from his legs and hands all the way up to his back until the large wolf was complete.

He wasted no time in taking a bite at Veltar's ankles where he barely grabbed him by the skin of his teeth.

"You fucker!" Veltar hissed and fell forwards quickly, and before his hands hit the ground, they had become paws for him to land on far more gently.

The two males circled each other with jowls raised, and teeth shown in hopes to intimidate the other. At this point, words were over. The only thing their mouths could do at this point was tear one another apart with sharp fangs instead of wit.

Jyriah leaped towards his opponent first - and in his anger, he missed Veltar just a little as the brown wolf dodged his attack easily.

The alchemist would use this to his advantage for sure. Jyriah's hot head had always cost him dearly. It would today for certain, he'd make sure of it.

Just as Jyriah skid on his paws at the harsh landing to regain his footing, Veltar had never lost his in the first place, which made it easy for him to come behind the red wolf and take a good, solid bite out of his cute, fluffy tail that had just a little bit of white at the tip (like a glowworm).

He let out a yowl, and curved his body so he could yank the precious limb from the mouth of Veltar. With a whip of his hips, he was able to keep his same trajectory without having to lose his mark - and sprung himself forwards towards Veltar's neck which had extended due to him trying to keep his grip on Jyriah's tail.

He had Veltar's trachea in his mouth for one glorious second, but much like Jyriah had fended off the brown wolf's attack, the red wolf was out of luck as his jaws clamped shut around skin that was able to be shaken free from his teeth.

It left a chunk of his fur missing where a bright red patch showed like the sore it was.

There were snarls, growls, grunts, and loud barks between the two as they traded blows at one another.

Veltar was able to pin Jyriah down at one point, and was going for a killing move, but when he hesitated - the fiery wolf took advantage of it, and kicked his back paws up into the underbelly of the poor alchemist, where his ball had been scratched and kicked which made him let out a whimper like that of a pup.

Jyriah being who he was, couldn't help but laugh and with his massive weight, he rolled Veltar onto his side until the brown wolf was the one on his back.

Had this not been a fight, it probably could have been something far more romantic - but the apathy for one another's safety was so juxtaposed to their dance that it would give anyone walking in on the fight the wrong idea.

Jyriah had Veltar's neck in his grasp, and as his teeth began to enclose upon the tender muscles he longed to crunch, the alchemist shook his head and wriggled his body to try to throw him off.

It didn't work, Jyriah was far heavier than Veltar, and the red wolf's anger burned from a different source than the other's had. No, his rage was righteous or for a good cause; his boiled from the depths of the worst parts of one's soul: jealousy, betrayal, possession, and that desperate feeling to not have to feel alone again.

Veltar was no match for all of the emotional power Jyriah was taking out on the poor alchemist. Sometimes, when someone is so angry they can black out or see red and nothing stops them from attaining their goal.

Jyriah's goal was to kill the male pinned under him, and keep his relationship with Joss safe. Even when Veltar gave up, and begged for the fireball to stop, Jyriah did not. He couldn't hear the male's pleas through the solid ringing in his ears that had taken over everything else.

The satisfaction of crushing his opponent's windpipe was within his grasp- and as his natural instinct took over, his teeth took a strong clamp around the extended larynx and readied itself to shake Veltar's neck until it snapped.

He wouldn't have stopped, and the shaking would have been glorious - but instead, he felt someone else pin him from his side. They were far bigger than he was, and the scent was not familiar.

At first he was terrified, but then he looked up to what appeared to be a second black wolf as long-haired as Metas glaring down to him with purple eyes.

Vincent's eyes.
