Mated To The Lycan King
Chapter 39

I didn’t sleep well, my memories of the days events played in my mind. I decided to get up around almost 5. I wanted to shift but knew I was safest while Charlotte was out. This was especially true since I wanted to walk around the camp. The sun was already closing the door on the darkness, light stretching across the horizon. The minute that Charlotte stood to stretch our muscles Everests Lycan, Connor stirred as his side went cold from the lack of heat we let off.

He let out a loud yawn sound and continued to stretch his muscles standing next to us. We nuzzled one another and walked quietly together around the camp. We checked on all of the members and made sure everyone was safe and sound. We made sure there was no quiet surprise attacks while we slept.

We finally found us a quiet spot to sit together, still in our Lycan forms as we watched the sun finish rising in the sky. Charlotte leaned against Connor as a deep vibrating noise of approval and content radiated through his body. We all took this moment of peace in together.

The sunrise reminded me of the peace there will be soon, once things are said and done. There is a beautiful side of the world and not all is lost and ugly. The world may have evil, yes, but the world also has a lot of good in it too. I vowed to be the good in the world.

I would show mercy when mercy could be given but hard when swift justice should be made. Evil would not replace its way into my heart, even when having to face it head on.

“What about when you have to kill someone.” Charlotte teased and I frowned at her.

“If we have to kill someone, it was to either protect myself, loved ones, and members of our community, or because justice would be served. Do not get being a good leader with a weak hearted full.” I felt her nod of approval.

“Good because I plan on serving some justice when we see that Lil devil.” She huffed out loud causing Connor to look at our way.

I linked them both “We were both just discussing my new outlook in wanting to be the kindness and good the world needs. Charlotte still wants to make sure our justice would still be served.” I laughed through the link.

I felt both their approval through the link as they moved closer to us. Connor nipped at Charlotte playfully. They have still yet to seal their mating bond and I stepped back giving Charlotte full control. I felt Everest do the same as they ran through the woods together.

They still stayed close to the camp but far enough away from prying eyes and listening ears. They played and ran together until they found a nice spot and completed their mating bond. We were fully whole, forever bonded together by the fates and the Moon Goddess. When we came back to the camp people were already getting ready for the day. Charlotte and Connor walked side by side their tails intertwining with one another. I could feel their love for one another, it felt just like mine and Everests love for one another.

They nuzzled before splitting and shifting into our human forms to address the group and be able to eat a proper breakfast. I felt Charlotte retreat happily into the back of our mind. She was so incredibly happy, it was almost scary. She was always so hard-core, angry and revengeful that it was nice to finally see her completely happy.

As I was walking over to where the food was being cooked Amber joined me. “Have you heard the good news?”

“I have not, is it of Trevor?” I asked hopefully.

“It is, he made it through the night. I got the message three minutes ago. I came directly to you.” She gave me a hug.

“How are the brothers doing?” I asked her.

“Oh they are fine. Excited to be leaving for the Kingdom today. We wanted to wait to see what was going on with Trevor before we shipped them to the Kingdom. That way if he wasn’t going to make it, they could say their final goodbyes.”

“It was for the best. At least they got to say good bye and see you soon, today.” I smiled at that thought. I knew I promised I would see him soon and I need to make good on that promise. In a few more days I would make the trip with Everest and our warriors to spend an entire day there. Give them a day of rest and a decent hot meal and hot shower.

“You’re right. When are you going to see him?” She asked me, as if she was trying to read my mind.

“In a few days, probably after we evacuate the next two packs. All of us are going.” I threw a piece of bacon on my plate.

“All of us?” She seemed confused.

“Yep. That way everyone can have a day of rest and clean up and relax some. This is stressful for everyone involved.” I sighed “I wish I could have killed that jerk so we could have avoided all of this.”

“It isn’t your fault he drugged you Ava.” She put her hand on my shoulder.

“I know I just, wish I could have.” I clenched my jaw, the feeling of anger rushing into my b***d stream.

“If you would have tried something you may not be here today. You did the right thing. You played him like a fiddle and he believed everything you said to him. This, all this destruction is not your fault. Please do not blame yourself.” She hugged me after I sat my food down. I hugged her tightly in return.

We took our food and sat down under a tree. I had a granola bar, an apple, a water with a tropical fruit punch enhancer, bacon, sausage, and eggs. It was pretty tasty considering it was cooked over an open flame.

My stomach felt happy and I felt my energy level rise. Everest sat down next to us and he was chewing his food. Jameson joined us shortly after and we sat in our small circle our security teams not too far away from us. We ate until we were all satisfied and had small talk about our current situations.

Ted sent Everest a text and he summed it up for us, “He basically said that it seems that Dexters men were keeping close to the coast line. Depending on which direction he chooses there were two different packs to evacuate. He suggested that we should push ourselves hard and evacuate them both. As soon as we possibly could. They’re both small packs one is Lycan and the other is wolves.” He looked at us all.

“Obviously we help the wolf pack first, Lycans are stronger and faster than wolves so if something was to happen then they could hold their own more easily.” I blurted out.

“She has a point.” Jameson agreed with me. “They would be more likely to hit a wolf pack versus a small but still strong and capable Lycan pack.”

We all watched as Everest thought of these both and after a moment nodded his head. “Yeah. That is true. He would be able to bully a wolf pack more than a Lycan pack.”

He stood and paced infront of us, contemplating all his choices.

“Yep, that’s it, let’s get them ready to go. We need to leave within the next hour.” He outstretched his arm and I took it as we stood. I felt his link go through my mind telling everyone to be ready within the hour.

I watched all around us as our warriors began to clean up the mess we had made. Soon it looked as if we were never really there. Everest had received a message from Ted telling us that Dexter and his men were still at their camp.

“Time to shift and move on. We are heading to Blue Moon Wolf Pack. Remember to always be alert and ready for the unexpected. Now, let’s shift and get to our destination.” Everests link cut as we all shifted into our Lycan forms.

I could feel the positive energy radiating from our warriors as we walked to the front of the group. We moved and pushed through the forest; the trees snapped and bushes were demolished into nothingness from our running. Luckily we didn’t feel much of it as our Lycans were strong and tough. If we did our accelerated healing helped in our protection.

It didn’t take us too long, only a few hours of hard running to reach the wolf pack. When we crossed into their territory we were met immediately by the wolves guarding their territory line. Everest sent out his aurora and they quickly fell in line and ran with us. I am sure alerting how fast we were moving.

Time was our enemy and we were working against the clock. We made I to the packhouse in, I am sure, a record set time. The Alpha and his Luna, the beta, or anyone else who should be present were missing still.

I shifted back into my human form as well as Everest. I turned to look at our warriors and shook my head and linked them all “Please stay in your lycan forms. We will need to get to work quickly once we get the ball rolling. Please stay alert, we don’t know what could happen.” I shut the link down as we were walking to the front door of the packhouse.

As we were midway up the steps the door flung open and out rushed a middle aged Alpha and his Luna following closely behind was their four children, three girls and a son. “King Everest and Queen Avalynn. I am very sorry we were not expecting you to be here so fast.” They bowed to us and Everest went straight into business mode.

“Daniel, good to see you. I need an important word with you about your pack. Care to join me in your office so we can discuss matters?” You could tell by looking at him that he was very serious. They both turned to walk away.

He linked me “Please walk with their Luna to her conference room. She will need to know how dangerous this situation is for her and her children. We won’t be long, love. Her name is Bridget.

“Can do, love.” I replied.

“Bridget?” I smiled as her attention turned to me. “Care to show me into your office that way we can make a plan after I tell you what is going on.”

I watched as she nodded and looked at her children asking “Is it serious? About the attacks?”

I gave a small nod to her and watched her pale. “Okay. My loves will you please go pack a bag. Make sure you are able to carry it with you.” She turned and was speaking to her children before walking with me. I followed her to her office and we sat down in the chairs.

“So the Rouge Royal Dexter completely demolished another Wolf Pack closer to the coast.” I paused and watched her facial expressions turn into fear.

“My Goddess, were there any survivors?” She asked me.

“Yes. Three brothers. The oldest name is Trevor. Trevor sustained life threatening injuries buy we were able to get to him in time and he is in a bigger pack with a great hospital staff. He told me he watched his parents die and needed to think of something quick to save his brothers. They are fine and are safely traveling to the Kingdom to be taken care of.” I told her.

“Trevor? Which pack is this?” She seemed like she knew the name.

“It was the Cresting Moon Wolf Pack.” I stated.

Her hands went to her mouth and she had a tear slide down her face. “That is my brother’s pack.” She cried.

I felt the instinct was to hug her and did so. She had tears streaming down her face. Her forehead was on my shoulder when her mate and mine came busting into the room.

“Bridget, my love, I am so sorry about your brother.” She stood and went into his arms as he held her tightly. “But we must go. We need to warn our people, now. We must leave soon. Our warriors and myself will be going with Everest. You must lead the rest back to the Kingdom. Back to our nephews who are needing you.” His hands were cupped against either side of her face as he spoke to her.

I watched as her eyes closed and she gathered herself. When she opened her eyes, blinking away the remainder of her tears, she nodded her head. “Lets get going, time is wasting.” She pushed her hurt and feelings aside as we all left the room.

When we went down, word quickly spread that the Lycan King and Queen were visiting The surrounding open space was covered with the pack, anxious to see a glimpse of the Royals and wondering why we were here.

We walked out and stood out on the tops of the steps. My hand was in Everests as I looked out at the crowd. Daniel and Bridget were right next to us as they looked out to the crowd.

“Not everyone is here, give them a few more minutes.” Daniel said quietly and Everest nodded.

I watched Daniel’s eyes glaze over as he was linking his pack. Soon his eyes went normal and he watched as more people crowded in the open yard.

“Okay, everyone is here now.” He said to us and Everest nodded his head and cleared his throat preparing to speak to the wolves.
