Lyceon - The dark lord

"Attention, Everyone!" They heard the clapping sounds as Alpha Mellina grabbed their eyes before turning around, climbing the few stairs in the middle of the hall to make an announcement. "Thank you everyone for giving me this opportunity to host the ball party this year. Thanks to the elders and those in charge of the community. I am honoured." She bowed respectfully to the group of the middle aged people seated at the one table at the corner.

"So I wish you all the best of luck for tonight's hunting and finding your fated mates. May God and goddesses fulfil your wishes. And today it's a pleasure to welcome our most important guest who rarely visits the balls but here we have him tonight as a representative." She took a break seeing people's excitement. "Please welcome the Lycan king from the Dark walkers Kingdom. Lyceon Villin Whitlock." She announced as everybody clapped cheerfully. Allison frowned at their excitement, especially the women. Why are they getting happy about him, the one who randomly kills people like them just to get the power?

"They wished and dreamed of being his mate Every year and tonight is another joyful day for them. Poor them!" but someone answered her immediately. She heard Felicia's voice from her left side. Allison turned to see her. She was looking like a flower bud in her rose-pink dress.

"Oh! Maybe someone might be lucky tonight!" Allison muttered sarcastically. Felicia raised her brow at her with a smirk.

"Exactly!"

Rolling her eyes Allison looked ahead and her breath stuck in her throat seeing the sight in front of her eyes.

There He stood with his glorious presence, cladded in a velvet black and wine tuxedo looking inhumanly gorgeous just like a mighty immortal king that He was. His hair was swiped on the side perfectly giving the view of his both onyx eyes perfectly for the first time. Allison had never seen this dark colour in someone's eyes before. It was like He was hiding something enigmatic behind those orbs. And his snake tattoo was adding extra charisma to his magnificence. He climbed down a few stairs and blinked his eyes before gazing at everyone until they settled on her.

And something inside her snapped abruptly. Her whole body turned on fire like someone was putting hot coals on her. Her nails were itching to scratch her wrists as they were forcing something out of her to come out. A current ran through Allison's whole body with his intense gaze like He was conveying something to her with his eyes.

Allison gasped loudly as she felt Something wanted to burst out of her and on instinct, she clasped Felicia's hand and gasped again.

'What is happening to me?'

She couldn't avert her eyes from him and as if He sensed her condition, Lyceon's eyebrows twitched as He sniffed the air around him. And slowly his eyes flashed red making her breath stop. Allison ignored the gasps from people as He stepped down, holding her gaze.

"Ali, you okay!" Felicia asked in a low worry voice. She merely nodded but didn't leave her hand and avert her eyes. Felicia sensed her discomfort and squeezed her hand to support. Lyceon kept walking to her slowly and Allison swallowed hard. Her body was shaking badly as He took steps toward her. What is this feeling?

Allison tried to decipher the powerful energies pushing her into something she couldn't figure out. She hoped she could harness them as she had been practising them lately.

'But why did they want to come out seeing Him only?'

Lyceon was walking near her, Allison breathed out feeling hot and suddenly her eyes raised sensing something wrong and slowly she stared up the ceilings.

Her eyes zoomed on the golden chandelier hanging just above her twisted and loosened up and she gasped in horror. Allison looked ahead as Lyceon was only four steps away from her. She sensed the movement above her in a second and a scream left her mouth.

Allison pushed Felicia back and strode near him, twisting her wrist and curling her fingers closed.

"ALLISON!" Lyceon screamed and raced towards her too before yanking her close as The dropping thing on them halted abruptly in the air as Lyceon pulled her to his chest. Allison's ears beeped as she turned numb. With widening eyes, she looked up and heard his loud curse. The chandelier was still hanging low in the air without any support.

Oh Goddess!

Allison felt the heavy burden in her body as her fingers ached with the pressure. Her throat became dry and she couldn't hold the weight so she opened her fisted hand with a moan of pain as now they were safe but... She only lost control as something blew up above her but before she could realise what was happening Lyceon managed to pull her aside with his body.

Allison felt the gust of harsh wind numb her ears. Allison pinched her eyes, her heart palpitated with the sound of breaking heavy glasses and she hugged his body tightly out of fear. Silence!

Allison felt quietness around her after the powerful blast. Only the sound of her fast heartbeat was ringing in her ears.

"Angel! Sweetheart, calm down!" Allison heard his soothing voice after a while as her breathing was laboured and she pulled her head back slowly only to look up into his warm eyes. He was already staring down at her. She was glued to him like a second skin and suddenly it felt like Allison was at peace. His proximity didn't bother her anymore, it was giving her a strange kind of comfort.

He had wrapped his strong arms around her and his thumb brushed the area under her eye. He was staring at her in utmost wonder. As if Allison realised something, she looked around after feeling the sudden long silence. And her mouth ajar opened seeing the stillness around her.

Everything and everyone was halted around us. Even her friends and Alpha Mellina too whose mouth was opened in shock and one hand in the air. Allison watched Felicia laying on the floor with a weird angle and closed eyes. She remembered she pushed her to save her. Then there was Ashina who was probably running towards them but paused in the mid way with horrified eyes.

"Wha.... what happened!" She let out in horror and turned to him to find the answer to this scenario.

"You have done this, Angel. It was your force and spell that everything turned still and lifeless." He stated calmly. Allison shook her head. How can this be possible? She looked around in disbelief.

"Your powers finally surfaced and the first one was the ability of Shield!"

Allison looked at him stunned.

"No......." she shook her head. 'No. I can't be. How is this possible? Just how!'

She was dumbfounded.

The power of the shield is something....

Unwantedly tears formed in her eyes. She felt overwhelmed with everything. Lyceon sighed and cupped her face softly with one hand. What He said just twisted her insides in an ominous way.

"You put the shield around both of us on instinct to protect us from the harm caused by the chandelier blasting before putting everything and everyone on halt."
