Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 57

.

I felt like my heart grew colder over the span of just a few hours, well, almost a day really. My beast was angry, but we did it to ourselves. We were the only ones to blame for our own problems. Our quest for greatness and ruling over all kingdoms and territories would be worth it in the end, right?

“It better be worth it, that is all I am saying. If not, I would rather be dead. We must, once we defeat them, get her back.”

“Would she even want us back?” This question brought silence to my mind. We were both pondering the possibility that we may never get her back. Would I be okay with that? Yes, especially since I still would have Avalynn. Even though, in reality, I wanted her too.

I did reject Candace. She may even be lucky enough, like Avalynn, to have another mate. If she finds her mate before we can get back to her, she won’t be ours.

“Being mated with someone else has never stopped us before. Avalynn is marked, it hasn’t stopped us yet. We still plan to take her as our own too, yes?” He came back through our mind.

“Yes, absolutely. What good would all of this have been for if she wasn’t the main prize at the end?”/ rolled my eyes.

“That is true, but we did not have a mate then,” he countered.

“We do not have a mate now, technically speaking. We will take them both as our mates. Can you imagine? Ahhh, just think if they marked one another and we were all connected together.” / thought of the future with them both.

“Think of the mating process, with them both! You can make them mark one another by your aura command. They would have to obey.” He said excitedly.

I thought of this too. All three of us, sharing a life together. I could really have it all in the end. I wonder if there would be any kinds of repercussions on their end though? if they both had my mark on them, would they both just be mine? Would the weakest of the two not survive? Will they be fine in the end and I am just worrying over nothing? I let out an annoyed sigh as I walked into the training grounds.

I felt like a zombie, the whole staying up and running in a rage and sleeping for just a few hours was really kicking my ass today. I was already looking forward to bed. As I walked through the hallways of the training center, I was approached by two lead scouts for us all.

“Gentlemen?” | nodded to them both.

“King Dexter, our scouts have reported that they have yet to see King Everest and his warriors come through. We thought that maybe they might be stalling?” The tall-dark-haired guy told me.

“Hmm. Interesting, maybe they are waiting and licking their wounds from the loss of the slaughter of that weak wolf pack?” I thought out loud and watched the two men exchange looks. They knew exactly what I was talking about. There were zero survivors. We eliminated them all. Wiped that entire pack off of the face of the planet. A smile crept onto my face at the thought.

Alew days later..

We arrived here nearly a week ago now. Things were way too quiet for my liking. I would have thought that after Everest found the slaughtered pack he would have been hot on our heels, but he wasn’t. In fact, there has yet to be a sighting of him or any of them really. It was concerning for me because I was sure we would already be at each others throats. He pulled the packs to the safety of his kingdom. We knew this

much for sure. Honestly, the waiting made me more nervous about what the future held. Was he planning a huge invasion? Should we leave to strike first and knock his stupid walls down that surrounded his castle? I wasn’t sure of the answer, but my beast didn’t like that solution.

So we trained. We trained hard every single damn day. Work for Brennon and his people was canceled until further notice. We trained for hours on end. We perfected every move and counter move we could think of. Rita joined and worked on her magic. She wasn’t great at it and struggled most of the time. She was, however, great with potions and herbal blends. Using magic drained her significantly and took a lot out of her. Just a few spells and she would sleep for hours on end. Apparently, this happens when a witch gets pregnant.

She did everything she could for Ryder and myself. I was thankful for her help. She made me a potion to drink that ran through my system and even hid the scent of my blood. Damn thing tasted awful going down and I gagged the entire time, but it lasted for two whole days. To me, it would be worth it in the end. Especially if I was to get injured, no one would be able to tell. Well, unless you could see the blood spewing from my body. If it got that bad, I would need to step away for a few minutes, just long enough for my body to heal.

I sniffed the air and smiled, dinner was cooking. My stomach growled at the pleasant aromas lingering in the air. I made my way to the kitchen to grab some water when I opened the door, I ran right into Candace. She dropped the tray she was carrying, glass shattering all over the place

“Damn it.” She cursed and looked up at me and then glared at me. “You should make sure to tap the door before waltzing in the kitchen that way so this doesn’t happen.” She said through gritted teeth,

“Excuse me?” My mouth was hanging open and I couldn’t believe the way she was speaking to me.

“I did not stutter.” She knelt down and picked up the shards of glass off the ground.

“Don’t forget who you’re talking to.” I warned her.

“I know exactly who I am talking to. A complete asshat of a Lycan who is too much of a scared little..”

Ismacked her across the face before she had time to finish her sentence. The blow knocked her completely to the floor. “Watch your tone. You may be angry with me, but I rejected you for your own good!” I yelled at her.

Her hand went to her face and I could see the tears threatening to spill over, but she held them back. “You, Dexter, are a coward.” She stood and looked me straight into my eyes “If you lay another hand on me again, I will cut it off with my sharpest knife and serve it to your men for dinner!”

My beast let out a threatening growl and she winced. “You are pushing the limits, Candace.” I warned her.

“You pushed the limits when you rejected me. Deal with it.” She stood with the glass in her hands and walked away from me.

I have never in all of my life been spoken to this way. I shouldn’t have hit her, but how dare she talk to her king that way! How dare she lay a hand on her king!

“I fear we may have woken a sleeping beast. Her Lycan is angry with us, but she needs to learn her place.” My beast’s thoughts drifted through my mind.

“She will eventually get over it. I will force my mark on her in the end. I won’t make that mistake like did with Avalynn.” I felt my Lycan nod in agreement.

I needed to go find Ryder and Rita and see how that potion was coming along. I poked my head into the dining hall and noticed that they weren’t there. I turned and walked towards where Brennon was so

kind to give her, her own lab, or workspace to make her concotions. I wanted to go ahead and get it in my system before we began fighting with Everest and his men. That way I would be prepared. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

As I was walking in the direction of her office, I heard shouting coming from outside. I couldn’t really make out what they were shouting about, but just chalked it up to youngsters fighting and horsing around. I stopped and looked out the window and the sun was in the beginning phase of leaving us. I looked around and saw people running everywhere, almost in a panic.

Just then Ryder came running out and around the corner and looked at me. “They are here and have smashed in the Northern Wall.”

“pook!” I shouted.

My eyes glazed over as I mass linked my men “Get to your stations on the Northern Wall. They are here, let’s go!”

I looked over to Ryder and Rita, “Is he good? Has he taken his special drink?” She nodded her head. “Yes, he is good to go.”

“Good, Ryder, do your thing. I want Brennon dead first. Take the men you trust with the mission with you to take Brennon and his small group out. Do what you must to end him. Then his men will belong to

me.”

He nodded his head to me and they both took off in search of Brennon and his men. I felt so unprepared for this, even with all of the hard work and training we had done together. “f**k!” I said again as I rushed to the opposite side of the main house.
