The Lost Princess Of The Lycans Chapter 158: Unexpected News
King Rays POV
After returning from dealing with the rogue attacks, I gave Sarah a massage. I made sure to massage every inch of her. She needed it after everything she had been through the last few weeks, and I needed to touch her other than make love to her. She fell asleep, and so did I. I had a hard-on, but I was not going to act on it as much as I wanted to. I wanted to give her a massage instead. I wanted to touch her and take care of all her aches and pains.
We weren't asleep for long when the pups woke up. I went to the nursery to care for them, and I wanted Sarah to stay asleep for as long as possible. I was holding Isabella when I heard Sarah get up and go into the nursery. Raymond was just starting to wake up when she came in. She picked him up and tended to his needs. We spent some time in the nursery with them, and when we got them back to sleep, we went to take a shower.
I washed her body. I wanted to pamper her and help her take care of her needs again, not in a sexual manner. She seemed to be enjoying what I was doing. She then tried to wash me, but I would not let her. This was not about me, and it was about her. She needed to know that it wasn't about me. I wanted her to know that I would care for her in everything. I thought it was important that she knew this. We have been dealing with a lot.
We will still be leaving tonight to go to the White River clan. I did not know when we would have time to enjoy it together would be next. There was so much to do and things that needed to be done. But mainly, I would sit back and watch how Caleb handled things. I also had an interrogation to do before we left. I wanted to know why the rogues were attacking us again. They always had a motive, whether it was to overthrow the current leader or to kidnap someone.
I believe that whatever his name is, it is still after Sarah. Her blood is very valuable. She was born a lycan, and witch DNA was fused with her Lycan DNA. Nobody seems to understand that it was a spell that went wrong. If a witch's blood could fuse with her DNA, could a bite from a vampire do the same and make her even more of a hybrid? I was not willing to find the answer to that because it would put her in danger.
I wish they would leave her alone and not keep pursuing her. She did not ask for that to happen; it just did. She was my mate by fate, not by design. I hated that she had gone through so much and still had a lot to go through. She would always be hunted, and our kingdom would always be under attack. But I will deal with things as they come.
We let Nash and Karina have some time today. While we were out, Donald had arrived. So we made our way back to the house. He would come with us, so there was no hurry to return. When we got back, I shifted back to human form. I told Karina/Sarah that she needed to shift in the bedroom. Which she was more than happy to listen to. I walked into my office naked and walked over to a closet, and there was a blue jogging suit I had put in there for occasions like this. I would have clothes to change into.
Sarah, on the other hand, did not have clothes there. I already had a room prepared at the palace for when we would shift and go running at night. I had some sweatpants and undergarments put in that room for us as well as others, so that way, nobody was running around naked. Being a lycan you get used to that. But I still did not enjoy seeing certain people naked.
"Other than going over the plans again, what can I do for you, Donald? "
" I have some bad news, Your Majesty," he stated.
" Yes, what is it?" I inquired.
" I have found the man who is the real person wanting Sarah's blood," he stated.
I let out a low growl. This Richard person was getting on my nerves, and I was done hearing his name and what he wanted. There was no way he was going to get Sarah or the pups. It would have to be over my dead body or something that was not in my control. But I was taking steps so that nothing would be out of my control regarding Sarah. I was sitting up extra guards and extra patrols. Caleb had made sure nobody would know when we would be traveling.
I did not let many people know when we would be traveling. Everything was going to be done in secret. The only way we would be attacked on our way there was if someone who knew would say something. I intentionally kept things as quiet as possible. I only told a handful of people. Brittany was one of the people I told. Because I had to make sure she was ready to be in charge.
She was taking control of this clan and now would be a female alpha. There are female alphas of other clans; she would be the best she could be. I knew she would miss Sarah and myself, but it was time for her to do her duty. I spoke to her several times, and she was ready to do what she needed. But she was not happy about not going with us. She feared that something would happen to the queen and that she did not have enough protection.
But I don't know what she meant by saying she lacked protection. She had me and the guards from the palace. \`I finished my discussion with Donald. He agreed that he would continue to train Sarah and help her control her power. He also said that Juanita would come with us because her mate was causing this chaos, which did not sit well with me. I told Donald that she would have security details. If he were her mate, she would try to help him even if she did not want to.
That is what mates do. Yes, she is a witch and human, but that does not matter. I dismissed him and sat down at my desk. I was trying to absorb all the information that Donald had just given me when there was a knock at my office door. I recognized the smell coming from the other side of the door. It was Eric, Sarah's brother. I called him to ask him to join us on this trip. I felt that he needed to be in on this. Because I knew we would be dealing with people that had hurt Sarah. He had the right to confront them just like I did.
I informed him that she was out in the garden. I had been watching her through the window. She looked beautiful, with the sun hitting her and highlighting her features. Eric and I did not talk much, but I knew he wanted to see his sister.
