Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 53

After dinner I needed time to be alone and to think about what I had learned from Sarah’s thoughts. I sighed to myself as I began to

process what I learned. There were so many things about the day I was captured, that I hadnt knew about. Sarah knew more than what

she let on and her mind revealed all of her secrets about that unforgivable day. If I wanted to be spiteful, and no one would blame me if I

was, I would send her head to Brennon on a platter.

I closed my eyes and let the memories I found deeply buried in her mind play back to me. I skipped through her hooking up with

them both.

Sarah’s Memories

I sat in the corner of the room as Dexter and Ryder talked about their plan together. Apparently Ryder knew of someone that could

make a potion that gave him the strength of two lycans. This potion was banned throughout the witching community and could land the witch in some hot water. It was rarely given to a wolf because it could kill them in the end, which was why this potion was not allowed. The wolf needed to be strong and with Ryder being of Alpha blood he would be able to sustain the strain it would put on his body.

I watched as Dexter and Ryder argued back and forth with one another. Dexter eventually gave in to the idea. Ryder had enough of this potion to take multiple times. It had an expiration time of twelve

hours with nearly a week of recovery if it didn’t kill them in

the end.

The potion made Ryder every single bit like a lycan. He was bigger, faster, and made zero sound as he moved. The herbal blend that

Miranda made for each of them hid his scent, which’ is how he snuck past everyone and became undetectable to all. When Sarah let him

in through the passageways he was different, looked different. He scared her as he looked so unnatural, the wolf and lycan mixed and blended into one deadly beast. He was as sneaky as a snake and then all went dark and quiet.

Tassumed that was when Sarah was bashed over the head and Ryder went to kill the late King. I opened my eyes and felt someone

near, watching me. I looked up and saw Everest standing over me, looking at me curiously. I knew he could feel how I felt. I felt conflicted,

nervous, scared of what I had just replayed in my mind.

“Tell him. Tell him how it happened.” Charlotte encouraged me. I listened to her and turned to look at Everest.

I let out a soft sigh. “Have a seat love. We have some things to discuss.” I pat the ground next to me.

“I was just checking on you, can it wait until after Trevor’s award ceremony.” He asked.

“Tell him no.” Charlotte told me before I could tell him myself.

“No, it can not wait. It may change the way we approach Brennon, Ryder, and Dexter.” I told him and his eye brows shot up. “It won’t

take long.”

He sat down next to me “Go on my love.”

“So before dinner we went to visit Sarah. You know I had trouble reaching into her mind?” I waited for him to acknowledge and

continued. “I was able to tap into her mind and find out what she really knows. She knew a lot more than what she let on, Everest.” |

explained it to him, how it happened,

“All I know is that the other witch is someone who sheltered Ryder outside the pack until he made his move on the Kingdom.

Probably helped him after he left too, though thay is just an assumption I am making. She made this black listed potion for him and that

15 how he was able to one up on your father. He literally shifted into a lycan and was as strong as two lycans. We must warn the others

tonight. If anyone crosses him alone, it could be a deathly mistake. He has more of this potion on hand. It lasts around twelve

hours.”

“You’re sure of this?” He looked at me,

Inodded my head “It was in her memories. I found it and pushed my way out and we left her in the cells. I want her head.” |

sighed.

I could feel his rage burning inside. “He is a dead man.” I only nodded.

“Come we need to leave, we need to give Trevor his award and title.” I spoke softly.

“Yes, of course. He deserves this.” He smiled at me.

“Yes, yes he does.” I agreed. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

We walked back into the dining hall as all the dinner tables had been cleared and people were either huddled around talking to one another in little groups waiting for us to return. I looked around and spotted Trevor and walked over to him.

“Queen Ava! Hi!”.He said happily and obviously excited.

“Hey bud. How’s it going?” I asked and gave him a small hug. “As well as it could be I guess.” He shrugged a little.

“Well let’s get this going shall we?” Everest came over and I swear I saw Trevor stand taller, making me smile.

We all three walked through the room. We stepped up on the stage and Everest raised his hand. “Everyone will you please find a seat so we can begin please.”

Everyone shuffled about the room. They made their way to the seats they were in before with family or friends. Once the room finally settled Everest began speaking again.

“As everyone in here knows it has been a rough few weeks for us in our territory. We as a Territory have been through so much

together. From the loss of a great King, the kidnapping of your now Queen, to the destruction of packs, and families torn apart. In the

disasters that has surrounded us let us not forget a true hero has shined through! Trevor, will you please join me up here.” Everest

motioned him to the stage and he took his place in between the two of us. I could feel his nervous energy radiating off of him like waves

crashing on the beach.

Once Trevor was still Everest continued “You have seen this young man out and about in the Kingdom. You have heard stories, factor

fiction, they’re all fantastic stories but here is the truth. Trevor is one of our rising selfless heros. He saw what the Royal Rogue was doing

and had to make a quick decision. This quick and smart thinking saved his two younger brothers lives. He almost lost his life in the process. Trevor, you may have lost a piece of yourself that day. But know this, you have gained so much more. I am starting the rebuild in your pack as soon as we are finished with the war. When you receive your wolf, train beside me, and come of age to become an Alpha, will name you Alpha of that pack. You may name your pack whatever you would like as this would be a new pack in the Northern Territory. Any members here who would want to join his pack when he comes of age may do so without punishment no matter wolf or lycan. Yes, you heard that correctly, wolf or lycan. This will be a blended pack, the first in our territory. I will be taking him under my wing and

training him. I, along with the help of his uncle Alpha Daniel, will be giving him everything he will need to know about pack business to succeed.” The crowd erupted in cheering, clapping, and whistles. I saw Trevor smile at the reaction, almost laughing as he turned to look between Everest and myself. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing and I gave him an encouraging nod.

Everests hand raised and the crowd settled down, “This evening we celebrate a hero who risked his own life to save others. As a child

with no wolf he stood against a grown rogue lycan and is living to tell the tale.” Everest turned and walked over to a table and pulled out a

medal. He passed the heavy golden medal to me.

I walked up next to Trevor and began to place it around his neck as I spoke, “All actions have consequences good or bad, you are living proof of both. You are receiving the Queens Medal of Honor and Sacrifice due to your actions and quick thinking to save your family. With the Medal of Honor and Sacrifice you will be receiving whatever you need, cost free. Your medical, housing, and your needs

will be given to you with the crown picking up the charges. You will not receive a bill or expected to pay for any services regarding your healing.”

I let the medal go and stepped back away from him as he picked up the medal off of him and looked down.

“You have showed everyone here today what it looks like to be a true leader and hero, to show true sacrifice, and putting others

Delore yoursell. Thank you for not only being your brothers hero, but mine as welll” i began to clap and everyone in the crowd done so as

well. I stepped back to Everest and cheered for our favorite young hero,

Everest stepped up and the crowd went quiet “Please enjoy the Heros festivities outside!” The staff opened the doors and everyone

began to leave the room.

“What is outside?” He looked over at me.

“Just a Heros Carnival. Go have fun!” He smiled, ran over and hugged us both.

“Thank you, thank you!”

“You have been cleared to ride whatever you want. Now go enjoy it.” Everest told him and we both watched as he ran outside.

Everest leaned down and kissed me. “Ready to enjoy this evening before we have to finalize plans?”

I nodded my head “Yes, let’s go. I believe if we do not show our faces everyone would be upset.”

We walked outside and the carnival was packed as expected. I veryone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We rode on a few rides

and played a few games together. Everest was ultra competitive, naturally, and when I beat him at one game, he pouted like a child. After

a little over an hour we had to gather up the Alphas or leaders of the packs and groups.

We walked down to Everest office to meet them. Everest took a seat at his desk and I sat in a higher chair behind him, waiting,

“Nervous?” He looked over to me.

“Yes, I am. I am afraid I will lose everything and everyone I hold dear to me”I looked back down to him.

“Good will prevail. It has to.” A knock sounded on the door and Everest cleared his throat. “You may enter.”

I looked down at him weirdly and repeated the’ You may enter’ in my head. Odd choice of words by him. Charlotte cackled in my

head.

“That made him sound old.” She laughed

I watched everyone enter the room and take their seats. Once everyone was settled into the room we began finalizing our plans. Thi

went from confirming who was with who, what times we should be at each location and times to depart every stop we scheduled. Once

everyone agreed to the times, groups, and scheduled stop locations we departed the meeting. We told them of the information I had

uncovered about Ryder and they nodded in understanding.

“Remember to stay aware of your surroundings the entire time and to expect the unexpected. Never let your guard down the entire

time and tell your warriors to keep an open link for communication.” Everest told everyone. “If you come across Ryder, do not fight him

alone.

We watched as everyone left and I let out a yawn. We would be leaving at first light, just after five in the morning. I looked at my

watch and it was now eleven. “We need to get us some rest. We will be no good to anyone else and unable to lead properly being over

tired. Come on my love, let’s go to bed.” I took Everest by the hand and led him to the elevator. We took it to our floor and went into our

bedroom.

we laid in each other’s arms and from time to time placing kisses on one another’s mouth. Everests hand ran up and down my back

his fingers softly caressing my skin. I listened to the sound of his heart beating and soon fell asleep.
