Lycan Warrior Read Online Free

exhausted and in desperate need of a good night’s sleep.
    She couldn’t stop thinking about Malek and what had just transpired by the lake. If he hadn’t shifted, she could have seriously harmed him, or worse. Her mind raced to her dark past, when most of her nights were filled with her fighting off Balkathan’s wolves.
    Now she wasn’t so eager to sleep.
    She dreaded the nightmare she knew would reappear.
    Under her covers, she closed her eyes, willing her thoughts away from her imprisonment in Balkathan’s lair.
    She failed miserably as once again her dream sequence began.
     
    Katya tensed at the jarring sound of the gate opening. They were back.
    She sat up, looked around the dark, filthy cell, and noticed the other women stirring from their sleep, staring at the two Lycan entering in their human form. Some women began to sob while others scrambled back against the cold cement walls.
    Katya knew why they were here. They were going to rape one of them.
    She growled, her hand going to the neck brace that had silver spikes ready to kill her if she shifted.
    One of the Lycan guards leered at Katya and she grimaced. The bastard was going to pick her.
    “You’ll never make me pregnant, demon,” she spat.
    She couldn’t count how many times she’d been raped by different guards and still remained childless. It was so many times, she’d learned to numb herself from the horror. The guard shifted in his Lycan form.
    “To be sure I do, tonight, I take you as my beast,” he snapped back.
    Katya froze as she stared up at his towering form. He was eight feet tall, naked since his shift had shredded his clothes, and his erection was enormously thick and long.
    “You’ll kill her!” one of the women screamed.
    Katya wasn’t sure who because she was numb with paralyzing fear.
    “Touch me and I’ll shift,” she growled once again. “I would rather die by silver to my throat than be taken by you in your beast form.”
    He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to the middle of the cell. Katya kicked and screamed, clawing at his taloned hand, her actions useless.
    “No, leave her alone,” Elizabeth cried.
    Katya shot her an anguished look, and swallowed hard. “Close your eyes! Don’t watch.”
    In the two years Katya had been imprisoned, she’d grown to love Elizabeth like a little sister, protecting her to the point of suffering rapes only to save her from being chosen. Now, Katya felt helpless, unable to save her young friend from witnessing what was sure to be a horrifying and violent scene.
    Katya growled as the Lycan beast grabbed her filthy shift and drew it up sharply over her thighs, exposing her naked limbs. The other guard, still in his human form, laughed cruelly.
    “This will be fun to watch. We’ll find out if a human female can take a Lycan beast,” he snarled.
    She knew fighting would be useless, so she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. She tried blocking the sounds of the women crying around her, Elizabeth sobbing uncontrollably, and rumbled.
    “Get it over with, swine,” she hissed.
    Curiously, she felt the Lycan beast’s talons withdraw and heard the women gasp in surprise.
    “Shift back to your human, imbecile!”
    She stiffened at the deep, imperious voice of Balkathan and opened her eyes. He stood by the entrance, a tall, dark form, with his personal guard at his side. “I want to impregnate them, not kill them, fool!”
    With trembling hands, Katya pushed her shift over her legs and sat up, her eyes flashing murderous rage at her captor.
    “You bastard! I promise you, one day I’ll kill you,” she spat.
    “Silence!” Balkathan roared, his eerily translucent skin glowing in the dark cell. He turned to his personal guard. “Gar, take her to isolation. In fifteen months no one has made her with child and I grow tired of her.” He gave her a cold look. “You are barren.”

    It was well past midnight and the campground was still. Malek heard the imperceptible
