Mated To The Lycan King
Chapter 61

Avalynn POV

I stood by Miranda’s side, protecting her from everything that came her way. She had the bastard right where we needed him. He was frozen, unable to move and when I heard her say the word “Batokne” I watched as Dexter was brought to his knees in pain. I couldn’t help but to enjoy the pain that radiated from him. I slipped into his mind at that moment to relish the pain he was feeling.

It was amazing to feel the pain he was feeling, to see how afraid he was, to know how much he was freaking out because his men were failing him. It felt like I was rallying his pain into my own strength. Just as I released his thoughts, another was coming at Miranda and me. I rolled him away and snapped his neck and watched his body fall to the ground and go limp.

My attention was diverted back above when crashing sounded and my ex-mate came through a window and landed on the ground. We all ducked as shards of glass fell from above, protecting our eyes and faces from injury. I heard King Brent yell for Wolfsbane and I looked at Ryder. He truly looked like a monster. His body was a mixture of wolf and Lycan. He was covered in silver chains and had broken silver cuffs around his wrists.

I heard a commotion and looked over as Dexter was now fighting with Everest. I looked over and saw Ryder fighting with King Brent. A lycan came charging at Miranda and I fought against him and snapped his neck. Miranda and I were surrounded by a mix of two lycans and a wolf. I fought them off as she tried to gather her concentration. But the need to help save Brent pulled at her. I understood that it was her mate and seeing him fighting and outnumbered was a major distraction. I would do the same. I feel the same. I couldn’t look over at Everest and not want to help. It was clear that after everything was said and done she would choose to become one of us.

I fought off the next two when a sudden pain snapped through my entire body. My head ached and I looked over at Everest out of instinct. I knew that I shouldn’t of done it because it was a distraction but what I saw was an absolute horror show. It made me sick to my stomach to watch. I felt the contents of my stomach try to push its way up as b***d spurted around Everest and Dexter.

My heart dropped then raised into my throat. It felt like it was so hard to breathe, I gasped for air. The sight of Dexter on top of Everest, concrete slabs slamming into his nearly limp body was horrid. Men were fighting all around, some were struggling against Dexters warriors. Ryder was fighting Brent and two others and winning. I searched around quickly assessing the situatuion and realized someone was not with us.

Where was Brennon though? I searched through the thoughts quickly and pinpointed exactly what happened. Ryder. Ryder murdered him in cold b***d with the help of his witch, who was waiting just inside for everything to be finished. Seems to be that he was helping the witch settle a score of some kind, but not my problem. In a way, Ryder did us a favor. Brennon’s b***d wouldn’t be on our hands and would just result in a tragic death by placing his trust in the enemy. A loud growl brought me back and out of Ryders’ mind.

I couldn’t explain it but I felt everyone’s panic, rage, and anger just radiating suddenly inside of me. It was like a light being turned on and a soft glow at first. As the glow began to brighten, I felt warmth radiate all throughout my entire body. It felt like fire was spreading through every inch of my body. I heard a gasp from Miranda as I felt the urge to let out a scream. My body shifted back into my human form on its own and it was like I was not in control of my actions. I let go and gave into this unusal feeling. The feeling of power, warmth, and anger.

I let out a shrieking scream as light and heat eluded my body. It was blinding and caused a pause in the fighting as everyone watched what was happening. I looked at my hands as if something, light or was it fire, escaped from my body. My skin had turned into a golden color as power escaped me. I felt strong, powerful, and deadly. I felt the lycan inside of me smile as my power pushed out of me. It was as if she knew this secret and kept it hidden away the entire time. It seemed that this mysterious force coming from my body knew who the enemy was. The power was hitting with such force, knocking them back away from who they were fighting. It gave my people enough time to regroup and get back on top of things. I could hardly believe what was happening to me.

King Brent was able to give a larger dose of wolfsbane to Ryder and subdue him. I will be dealing with him soon.

I looked around and saw Everest lying on the ground barely breathing. I felt rage inside of me. I glanced over to Miranda and gave her a nod. Dexter was beginning to stand up when I launched myself at him, shifting back into my lycan. I felt our bodies collide as I gave over full control to my Lycan. She was a powerful force to be reckoned with, especially with all of this pent-up rage. Miranda joined me and together we went up against Dexter. He fought against us. Miranda summoned up her chant and froze him. I took his head in my hands and banged his face off of a concrete block a few times before looking at him, dropping him to the ground, and standing over him.

I circled around him and growled. He was frozen and I felt his fear coming off and crashing into me like waves. I couldn’t however smell the b***d from him, odd. I wanted this to be painful for him. I wanted him to suffer more than anything else in this entire world.

Would it be best if we waited for a trail or to end him right here and now? I looked over to the men designated as our medical team, attending to Everest. I looked down at Dexter and thought back to Trevor and how he ripped an arm away from him. How he took away his parents and his pack, leaving him and his brothers orphaned. He left him with nothing, left him to die. I thought of all of the men and women whose lives have been affected and destroyed because of him and his actions.

All the peoples he has murdered or helped with the murder. I thought of my mates father, King Randolph who died because of this man below me. I thought of Miranda and her family who he murdered. Right then and there I decided that a quick death would not serve as justice for everyones life he has hurt and caused pain to.

I decided that I wanted him to suffer. I wanted him to feel the pain that he had given for years to come. Death would be a gift and I was not about to hand those out today. Today I came here with every intention of ending his life.

However, we would be leaving with him under a frozen spell, unable to move. I would give him his trial, but every single day of that trial I would torture him. I would leave him wishing for death. I would allow time for his Lycan to heal him and I would bring him right back to the brink of death. I looked out at the field of men and women warriors from both sides. Now that they had seen the fall of their leaders, I spoke to them, in place of Everest.

“Your leaders have fallen. You are now to be transported back to the kingdom and charged with the crime of treason. I will see you all on your judgement day. Remember you can not hide your thoughts and actions from me.” I smiled and looked over at Miranda. “Would you mind placing a freezing spell over them all? I wouldn’t want any trouble from them on our long journey back.” She nodded her head and with the flick of her wrist everyone who was against us had their hands pulled behind them.

“Wolfsbane them. Give them a strong enough dose to subdue them until we reach the Kingdom in the morning. We will be traveling straight there.” I looked over to Ted and Jameson and they bowed, running off quickly. I watched one by one as the warriors began falling to the ground.

I sighed and looked over at Ryder and walked over to him. The wolfsbane only weakened him. The smell of his flesh burning from the silver was awful smelling.

“Get away from him!” I heard a woman shouting and I looked up at her. I sniffed the air and raised my brow.

“Ahhh, yes. The witch who has been helping him, shielding him, making him into the monster that he is now.” I glared.

“I said to get away from him.” She said between gritted teeth. She raised her hand but Miranda countered and cast a spell or something in her direction, knocking her off of the second level.

We all stood and watched as she fell to the ground and landed on a piece of metal that pierced through her, killing her. I looked down at Ryder as tears formed in his eyes.

I stood over him with a frown and shook my head. I looked around me, seeing everyone watching me. I didn’t know if I would have any sort of repercussions, but many people were dead because of who was standing under me. In fact, if he hadn’t sought out Dexter, some of this could have been avoided.

“I, Queen Avalynn of the Northern Territory, charge you with treason, holding you responsible for the death of King Randolph. Because of these charges, I am sentencing you to death.” I looked around and my eyes landed on King Brent and he nodded his head in approval. I looked over to Miranda and she also sent a nod in my way. I turned back to Ryder and I felt nothing but rage for all of the pain he had caused me over my lifetime. I took a deep breath as memories of being tortured plagued me. I took it and channeled it inside as I put my hands on either side of Ryders head and snapped his neck.

I took a step back and took in a long breath of air. A single tear ran down my cheek at the loss of my ex-mate, the bond now completely severed from him. He could have accomplished so much, but he wasted and threw his life away. I turned and walked off silently without a word.

I sent King Brent a link “Please, if you wouldn’t mind, have your brother transported back to the Northern Kingdom dungeons immediately. He will stand trial in our Kingdom, as he will be our prisoner and be held accountable for his crimes. You may also carry out any sentence and invite any of the members of your kingdom to witness his sentencing.”

“Of course. Do you know when sentencing will be, by chance?” He linked me.

“A few weeks from now. Allow some time for Everest to regain his strength to carry it out himself.”

“Of course, Queen Avalynn.”

“Oh and Brent, thank you for all the help from you, Miranda, and your warriors. Without you, this would have been difficult.”

I saw a small smile come from him and I walked out of the yard, leaving things to Brent and Miranda. I looked around as I walked along the destroyed path. I assumed that Jeremy was also in the doctors’ quarters with Candace. I let out a small sigh and made my way to my mate. I could feel his pain, which let me know that he was still alive.
