Author’s Note: Originally this post was from my September Blog Challenge in 2021 (September 27, 2021 to be exact) however after writing it I felt there were some problematic things in it (mostly their ages and the storyline we were following). I’d always planned on making it a series or at least following up with a part that was from Payton’s point of view. So if you’re new or if you remember the original… not much has changed it’s just been updated a bit to be more something I would be proud of. And we have more parts/chapters to come. So thank you so much and I hope you enjoy! Also just a reminder my content does contain sexual themes and sometimes it can be graphic (violent or otherwise) it’s also not made for children. Thank you!
Part One: Asena’s Point Of View (POV)
The forbidden love. We all think these things are just in books, right? At least I did. That was until I met him. He was the kind of deadly you wouldn’t expect. You’re probably curious about the forbidden part, right? I knew him sort of. Okay rewind, for reference I am the daughter of an important couple in the human world. See there’s this whole counsel thing with wolves, vampires, Lycans, and everyone and my parents are part of that counsel. So, like this counsel just keeps the peace so there is not a supernatural war. Anyways it was my twenty first birthday which SUCKED so I took a walk through the woods, and I swear I was in our TURF!!! But I started to feel like someone was watching me, cliché, right? Yeah, someone was following me, and it was to my surprise the young alpha himself. Payton. He had been given the throne early as his father had a rare onset of dementia for wolves. My parents and brothers have always found it rather disturbing that I love learning everything about the others and talk to them as they are one of us and not freaks of nature. The only reason they even believe in the counsel is they don’t know the humans don’t stand a chance against the others. I on the other hand believe if we actually untied then we could all live peacefully, Payton just proved it. My name is Asena Rose Dorin daughter of Lady Willow and Sir Atlas aka mom and dad the greatest pains in my ass ever. Sorry a lady shouldn’t talk like that.
Back to that night though. It’s not like I’ve never met Payton or any of the others when they came to the meeting grounds. The meetings were on the palace grounds to give humans an advantage should anything ever go wrong, which I thought was stupid, but it helped me a bit because I knew the palace like the back of my hand. Needless to say, I snuck out of my room and spied a lot. I always fancied him. Payton, I mean. He had a certain edge to him. He was a few years older and by that, I mean when I was celebrating my sweet sixteen, he was nineteen. But still hadn’t found his mate. Like I said I spied a lot, what can I say I was bored. Back to my twenty first birthday and the walk.
I knew I was being followed and being the proper young woman I am I spun around dagger drawn and boldly told the creeper in the woods to show themselves or there would be grave consequences. Honestly, I probably looked ridiculous in the huge dress and the makeup that was most definitely smudged from my minor mental break while trying to loosen the corset of the dress, which the creeper in the woods had to have seen. AND they still wanted to mess with my mentally unstable self? Desperate. I heard a familiar and arrogant laugh.
“Payton?”
“Lady Asena” He stepped out of the woods and his gorgeous green eyes were illuminated by the small streak of moonlight coming through the trees.
“What are you doing here Alpha?” I realized I should probably address him properly, so I didn’t get murdered, plus it was only respectful.
“No need for all the properness Asena. Anyways you can’t honestly believe I would miss your birthday especially your twenty first.”
“So, you’ve been here all night? Creepy much?” I will admit I was so happy to see him but also, I didn’t even know he ever noticed me except that one time he winked at me like a month ago and I almost DIED!
“I very well couldn’t give you your gift in front of your family Luna.” He just called me Luna? And that smirk is his tell. What? I’m confused now. “And this…” He offers an old leather journal. “Your father would have wanted you to have this.”
“What?” I was so confused and now I was standing alone in the woods with a very attractive Werewolf/Man person possible love of my life and looking like a dumbass. All he did was laugh or maybe it was a scoff? Then he got closer to me and handed me a box with my name on it. Along with the journal… “What is this?”
“Open it and find out.” I did as he instructed and found letters from my father to his father… letters of betrayal and warning. Fear of warfare. My father knew what was coming before it even happened… or he at least suspected it. The gift in the box was a handmade ring, one crafted by a wood nymph specifically for me from a dogwood tree with a rose petal in the center… I loved it. But I loved the journal more as twisted as it may seem… but we’ll get into that more later.
We spent the rest of the night walking and talking about the journal and what it meant. And that night turned into every night ritual he’d go for a run, and I would sneak past the guards and out to the lake and we would meet there and talk and just get to know each other. Until one night my brother Alarik followed me. I was the oldest and Alarik was the middle and always striving to impress our father and the counsel in hopes they would skip me and give him the internship. Yes, it was petty, but he was only twelve. I don’t hold grudges. Where was I? Oh yes, he followed me one night. Payton and I had been seeing each other secretly (mostly for my safety, he feared I would be in danger) for about three months when my brother followed me out to the lake.
This particular night we were enjoying some wine and some snacks under the stars. Proudly and confidently baring the mark of my mate on my collar bone so fresh in fact there was still the tiniest bit of blood on the bites. Little did we know as we were lost in each other that Alarik was watching us. Sneaky little bastard learned from the best. It was only when Payton and I heard a small gasp that we realized someone was there. Naturally, Payton went to investigate, and he found my brother who was enraged.
“Your brother?”
“Al!”
“Don’t you Al ME missy! You’re going to be in so much trouble! Mom and Dad are going to Kill YOU! HIM?!? Really?!”
“You talk a lot of shit for a twelve-year-old.” He joked it off, but Payton was worried. Especially now.
“Please don’t. Come on Al.” He was right, it was kind of a big deal for me to directly disobey my parents. My parents were extremely strict about fraternizing with the “others” especially outside of business. If he ratted anything could happen to me or the Wolves. It could be horrible. Deadly. My heart sank thinking of it while I pleaded with my brother not to tell but he took off, this was bad…
“I’m so sorry Love. I have to go after him.”
I got back to the palace and my parents were waiting for me in my quarters.
“Mother. Sir Atlas.” Yes, fun fact my father isn’t Atlas my father died under mysterious circumstances, and we’ve been fighting to keep the world from crumbling ever since… seems I’m more my father than people realize.
“Your brother tells us he caught you with the young alpha.” HE says it like it’s burning his mouth.
“And you care why? If we want peace among everyone maybe start by not acting like that.”
“Your tone young woman. And those creatures are vile, and we forbid you from seeing him again and UH oh OH MY what is that?!?” She practically screamed as she yanked the top of my dress away from my shoulder.
And that is when they completely forbade me from seeing my soulmate causing me complete and utter agony. They put guards at my door (Mind you my room is literally the highest room in the palace by my choice because it puts me by the library but still the guards this is some Cinderella shit) if I go anywhere, I must have Fredrick with me or one of my tattle tales. I cannot even get any peace at my father’s grave! So, I devised a plan to escape the guards and finally get to see my mate. I am desperate we haven’t seen each other in over a week and I feel as though my soul is dying without him. My plan is to go kiss up to the Lovely Lady and Sir. When I get the guards off my ass I am leaving for good and from there we (Payton and I) will rebuild our counsel doing whatever means needed. A revolution if you will. Maybe even the forbidden love turned world domination (but to make the world better).
If you made it to the end I hope you enjoyed! Don’t forget to leave a like, comment or even share it if you like! I hope you have a wonderful day or night whenever you’re reading this! Until next time – stay safe, love hard and protect your peace ❤
