Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Everyone in the pack gathered in the courtyard. You could sense the uneasy and curious feelings they all had. Everest let my hand go and it dropped to my side as I watched him step forward to speak to them all.

“Good Evening everyone. I know your Alpha said that we had urgent news to discuss with you all and this is true. The decision we have come to, together is not an easy one to make but is the best choice and option we could think of for the entire pack. We are ordering a mass evacuation of everyone in this pack? effective immediately. Take essential items like clothing and self care items with you.” The crowd whispering grew into a dull roar

as the feeling became a panic situation.

Everest raised his hands in the air to motion them to settle and they quickly done as he instructed. Please, do not panic, this move is due to the Royal Rouge Lycan, Dexter, who wants to claim all as his own. He kidnapped my mate and we retrieved her. It appears that he will stop at nothi g until he gets what he wants.” He turned and gave me a small smile and everyone looked at me. He returned to look at the pack and continued speaking, “We just came from another pack where he murdered hundreds of lives. There were only three survivors and they have been moved to a safe location. We are trying to protect you all from the same fate. Those who will be staying with our Lycan Warriors are the elite pack warriors. We need the rest of the pack members to go and help back at the Kingdom. Please, go pack and be back in exactly one hour. We leave then.” Everest stepped back and took my hand as the crowd hurriedly evacuated the yard to go pack.

Everest looked over at Daniel, “Please have your elite warriors here in forty-five minutes so they and you can be fully briefed by Jameson on our plan.” He nodded as his eyes glazed over, linking his elite warriors.

We walked back inside with the Alpha and Luna and sat at a conference table, Jameson and Amber met us there. We briefed the two on our detailed plan of where we were going to next. After that if Dexter chooses to overtake this pack he will be in rage mode and move to the Lycan pack next pretty quickly. That is where we are going next, to evacuate the weak and then we are going to a safe location to rest up before making the push to Sir Brennon and his Lycan pack to bring him to justice. Thankfully there isn’t any known packs between the Lycan pack and Sir Brennons. Dexter and Brennon are working together to conquer the Northern territory.” We watched them for a moment and Bridget turned to her mate.

“Please, do not abandon us. This Dexter took out my entire Brothers Pack, please do not go.” She was moved to tears again.

I watched Daniel move closer to his mate and press his forehead against hers “You know my duties is to lead my pack in the right direction. Who would I be if I sent our strongest and stayed behind? I can not do this darling. Take good care of our children and my nephews while you are in the Kingdom. Go and get your things I will see you in fifteen minutes.” He kissed her before she left and he looked back at us.

“Will she be safe in the Kingdom?” He asked Everest.

Everest nodded his head “She will be very safe there. Have no fear your mate and children will be safenonce they reach their destination.”

“I will see you in a moment, let me help her with her things and my children’s things. I will be right down.” He stood, bowed his head and left the room.

“It is hard to be uprooted from the life you know, uncertain of what the future holds for you.” I stated aloud as I watched the door that was closed now. I felt Everests eyes on me and felt him wondering what I could have meant. I turned and sighed “When my mother died, my life changed for a second

time. I was bullied by that ridiculous pup Ryder and his circle of i***t friends. My brother wouldn’t have anything to do with me and left me to fend for myself. I struggled every single day. Hell when you met me in the woods that day at the waterfall, I was ready to end all of my suffering. But you were there and I found you, well you found me I guess. Then I find out that I am not a weak human but a lost Royal Lycan. You sweep me away to an unknown Kingdom where I was terrified if I would even be accepted. I am and I grow to love where I am, only to be snatched away again and fearful of what my future could end up being. I can relate to the way they are both feeling I guess is what all of this boils down to. It is not a great feeling to have.” I felt tears sting my eyes as I recall on the emotional roller coaster these last few months have been. It hasn’t been for the faint of heart. I do realize, however, that I have grown and become stronger for going through it, not only for myself but my people. I would walk through hells fire for my people and fight until my last breath for them too. I stood and walked over to the big window as I watched the wolves begin to gather out in the courtyard.

“The elites are here, we must go.” I said softly as I turned and Everest was standing right behind me. He was so close I couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard him come up behind

He pushed a loose strand of hair away as his eyes searched my face. His head dipped down as his lips met mine softly. I smiled against his lips as his arms wrapped around my waist. He pulled away and I looked up to him.

“You are an incredible woman, please don’t ever forget that, okay? I know you have been through some terrible s**t. I will make it better for you and for our future.” He dipped down and kissed me again.

When he parted my hand rested upon his shoulder, “Thank you, for everything my love.”

He hugged me to his chest. “Lets get this briefing over with, shall we?”

I didn’t answer him right away as my arms tightened around his waist. He didn’t say anything and just held me tightly against him, I needed this weird form of therapy. It felt as if he was healing my wounds with his love. After a few moments, when I felt satisfied enough to tackle this next part of this mission, I let him go and we joined the packs group of elites.

They bowed their heads as we both approached. I scanned and there seemed to be about sixty of them gathered. This was a decent amount considering the pack was small in size, it suprised me. I stayed back in the background with Amber and we watched my mate and hers team up in the debriefing. They covered everything that they needed to know, from the beginning to where we want to end up at. Not a single one of them winced or looked frightened.

“You will stay with your Alpha in the center of our group as we travel to the Lycan pack. You are better protected this way, especially against a Lycan ambush. If you are traveling outside, you do not stand a chance against a Lycan. It would take at the very least three of you to take down a single Lycan warrior. Remember that on the battlefield. Use your linking capabilities to use teamwork to overthrow whatever comes our way.”

“Yes King Everest.” They all replied in unison.

“Now.” I clapped my hands together and stepped forward. Their attention snapping to me, “Let us go tell the remainder of your fellow pack members fare well. Amber will be leading your pack members and your Luna to the Kingdom. Along with a few of our Lycan Warriors. Your mates, friends, and loved ones will be safe on the route they are taking.” | assured them. “Once they reach the kingdom Amber and the others will rejoin us back out here. Let’s take a few moments to say our farewells.” I motioned to the front gate as they all stood and left.

“Amber I will keep a link open just for you. Please be careful. You know all the different ways back to the Kingdom. If it seems iffy, please change your direction and link your mate, myself, or Everest and we will turn around to come help.” I told her and embraced her in a hug. “Please take two of my security guards with you, it would make me feel better.” | smiled.

“Are you sure? I feel like they would better protect you.” She protested.

“I have all of this.” I motioned around “Besides you are traveling a long ways there and back.”

“Yeah, okay. You’re right. Thank you Avalynn. It means a lot.” She smiled and we all walked out to the courtyard together.

We stayed silent as we watched the heart wrenching goodbyes. I couldn’t help but to feel this would be the last time some would see the ones they love. I know they all knew this too, the sixty brave elite fighters leaving today may not be here with us in the weeks to come. I crossed my arms and chewed at my bottom lip, lost in my thoughts. I never heard Everest speaking to me and had my gaze fixated on a tree.

“Avalynn? Avalynn? Hello? Ava are you there?” He waved his hand in front of my face causing me to jump backwards.

“Yes? I am sorry I was lost in my thoughts.” I told him.

“I was just saying that we are ready and it is time to shift, my love. Are you okay?” He did have a worried look on his face. I don’t generally space out, lost in my own mind.

“Oh. Yes, I am fine. Just thinking about our mission.” Which was not a complete and total fib. I was more lost in the aftermath of our mission. The what if this happened scenario.

I shook the feeling again, as I watched Everest shift to his Lycan. I quickly followed suit as Charlotte pushed forward for control and I gave it to her. Our bones elongated, fur sprouted, my face shifted to form a snout, and my sense heightened. I retreated into the back of Charlotte’s mind now, as I have felt her do before. I would allow myself to get completely lost in my thoughts.

“Charlotte, if something happens please bring me back forward and allow me to help be an extra set of eyes and a voice of reason.”

She snorted as she walked alongside Connor, “Of course / will. Please go figure out what you need to figure out. I know something is eating away at you.”

I took her advice and sat back, letting her have complete control over our body. It felt like meditation as it was quiet and I almost completely shut the world out.

I was trying to think of different ways we could take this impending war on. We were going to end up in a battle, eventually. I was just worried that a battle would cripple us and the Kingdom. If it did, it was just something we would have to do.

My mind soon drifted to Miranda and King Brent. I wondered if Miranda was healing properly. I know her wounds almost killed her but I had hope that she would survive.

Talso found it funny how the fates aligned for them to be mates. It is very uncommon for a wolf to be mated outside of a wolf but a Lycan was pretty much unheard of. The next time we were in our human form I would ask that Everest would reach out to King Brent to see how things were.

After what felt like a few minutes, was actually several hours. It was dark as we were – running with everything we had. We had zero time for sleep, which is why our human forms

should be resting, conserving energy. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Ipeered through Charlotte’s eyes as she ran, I thought my human side had excellent sight at night, due to our Lycan but wow. Charlotte’s vision was unmatched competition on her night vision. It was just as vivid as daylight, it seemed. She moved beautifully, even running as hard and as fast as she was.

“Where exactly are we?” I asked her and felt her smile.

“We are almost there maybe less than an hour. We are not stopping or changing to our human forms until we are in the yard, at their steps. Be ready to shift us, it’s going to be a fast shift. Connor and Everest linked the Lycan pack and they’re currently waiting for us.”

“Wow, okay. I am ready whenever you are.”

I stayed, watching through her eyes. I could feel how tired she was becoming but she never showed it. We would need to let the pack rest as soon as we stopped. It wasn’t long before we reached the gates of the pack. As Charlotte had said earlier they opened right up for us and we ran right through.

As we ran I could feel the Lycans of the pack that were on patrol guide us to our destination. As we reached the courtyard of their pack and came up on the stairs Everest and I both shifted in front of the man standing at the bottom step. Everest and him greeted each other in a hug “Cousin it is nice to see you again.”

I didn’t realize this was his cousin? Maybe thats why he had a small strong group of

Lycans out here, family blood line linked to Royals an all. Still, I was excited to meet family.
