The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 103
I reappeared in my room to find a furious Lycan King sitting on the sofa. This day just keeps getting better by the minute. Ignoring him, I walk to the bar to pour myself a glass of water and down the drink in two gulps. Today has been tiring and the last thing I need right now is to deal with him and whatever tantrum he is going to have now. Taking a deep breath, I sigh and turn towards him taking a seat in the armchair across from him. “What has you all upset?” I ask him ready to get this over with sooner rather than later. My plan was just to shower and meditate but now I have to deal with a crazy Lycan.
“Mind telling me where the hell you’ve been and why I couldn’t contact you? And do yourself a favor and tell me the truth.” he growls at me.
“I didn’t know I needed to let you know my every move. I went out for a while to clear my head. Is that a problem with you?” I’ trying to keep my calm, but after the day I’ve had it is hard for me to do.
“That doesn’t explain why you were unreachable. Where did you go?” He’s shaking now and if I’m not careful he could shift in my room.
“Oh, calm down. I went for a very long walk and ended up in town. While there I decided to stop at a cafe and have some coffee which was a bad idea since it only made me hyper. My walk was to clear my mind and make peace with some things that have been bothering me. I didn’t know that I needed to answer your every call and tell you my whereabouts. We are only fake mates. My life is my own for the time I have left.”
“Keep disappearing and you won’t have a life for much longer!” He shouts at me.
“Just shut up and tell me what you want! I’m sick of your attitude. Have I not gotten you what you wanted and still you find something to complain about. Go and do whatever it is you have planned and quit throwing tantrums.”
“You will not speak to me in that manner! I am your King!”
“No, you are King of wolves and Lycans. Witches have no King or Queen. We are a part of nature and Gaia is our Goddess. Don’t forget that I’m only helping you to get what I want. I do not care about your plans or why you’re doing what you’re doing.”
“The blood moon is in another month and that is when my plans will take place. You need to be ready by then and that means helping me get ready. You will teach me to use light magic and combine it with my dark magic.”
“I’ve told you that I’m not sure I can teach you because I don’t know how your Goddess magic works. It may react to your emotions, or to nature around you, to the moon, who knows. The possibilities are endless. That’s why I told you to go into the forest and meditate then practice. You know how to use your dark powers so see if it works the same way.”
“You’re coming with me. Now!”
He gets up and grabs me pulling me towards the door, but when he grabs me, my collar comes down some and reveals the one thing I wanted to stay hidden. The last thing I needed was for him to notice, which he did, and his nostrils flared.
“WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! WHO MARKED YOU!”
Freya’s POV
The next few weeks passed in a blur as we came up with different ways to pull the dark magic from Alex. The killing and destruction had gone done some but not by much. He hadn’t been sleeping with any females anymore either, which was a relief to my body as well as my wolf and Lycan. Without being in constant agony and having to heal me after his sexcapades, they were both feeling stronger and so was I. If he kept that up, I don’t think I would even be able to fight at full capacity when the time comes.
We’ve come up with some ideas, but we aren’t certain any of them will work. All we can do is try them out and see what happens. For now, we are gathering our armies and training as much as we can to be ready for anything he may throw at us. I’ve also been training with the witches and Shayla. She’s learning to control her powers, but I have the feeling it would go better if Tabitha was here to help her. They are a bit out of their element, no pun intended, when trying to help her. It also doesn’t help that she gets frustrated easily and that is dangerous. She almost set an omega on fire when she got frustrated that she kept dropping the cup she was trying to make float to her.
The plan is to see if we can trap him the same way we trapped Tabitha and then try to strip his powers. The only problem with that plan is that we are dealing with a God and not a super witch so this could go either way. I’ll be helping in the spell this time so that will add power, but we still are not sure if it will be enough to hold him. There’s also the fact that the person has to be willing to get rid of the darkness, so if the dark Alex is in control when we capture him and stays in control then it will all be for nothing. All we need is for my Alex to break through just long enough for us to get consent and the darkness will leave once the spell is recited.
The next blood moon is when all of this has to take place and that will be in two months. Two more months and I can either have my mate back or possibly lose him because whether we pull him back or the dark Alex lets him come back, he will be lost. I don’t know what he has done in his past and quite frankly I don’t care because I didn’t know him then. I trust the Moon Goddess, but more importantly I know the man that he is now, and I trust him with my life. The man I know is honest, loving, caring, stubborn, and ruthless when he needs to be especially when it comes to those he cares about. Knowing all that has happened, even though it was all out of his control, will hurt him dearly and I don’t know how long it will take for him to recover from that knowledge. I’ll do my best to get him through it though.
After training, we all decided to go for a run before dinner and my wolf and Lycan were both excited. The patrols had been tightened since Tabitha showed up a few weeks ago and the wards were strengthened. She can still get in because we made it so that she can if she ever wants to, but no one else will be able to without us knowing. Her coming was a good thing since it showed us the problems with our security.
There is a month to go before the blood moon and I can admit that I am getting nervous. If this doesn’t work, then we are screwed. Tabitha said she’d help us if she can but when the day comes there is nothing, she can do for us. She told me that she is still thinking of ending her life when this is all over. The only regret she seems to have is going to be leaving her daughter. When I asked her about her mate, Dylan, she said it was his own fault for marking her without permission. I can kind of see why she feels that way, but his human side didn’t mean to do it and he has felt bad about that ever since. What surprised me the most was that she didn’t cry out in pain when it happened. Marking someone without their consent is painful, or so I’m told, but she didn’t make even a peep when it happened. I wanted to ask her about it but thought that may have been prying too much.
“Freya, you want to watch a movie? We’re all thinking about relaxing with a movie before bed in the theater room.” asked my brother.
“What kind of movie? No romance. I want some action or maybe a good horror film.”
“Action sounds good. What about The Expendables or the Die Hard movies?”
“Make it Lethal Weapon and I’m in.” I giggle.
“You got it sis. By the way, how are you doing?”
“I’m okay. Some days are harder than others, but knowing this is almost over one way or another is making me anxious and nervous.”
“Yeah, it’s making me a nervous wreck as well. I don’t think anyone is doing too well and will all be happy when this is over. I’m hoping that Alexander will be alright when he comes back. It has to be torture being trapped inside your own body and not able to do anything about what his other self is doing. To be a witness to all the destruction and not be able to stop it from happening will be a lot for anyone to take.”
“I’m going to do my best to help him through it all when he comes back and hope he doesn’t beat himself up to badly about it because none of this is his fault.”
“We all know that but he is still going to blame himself Freya. If it were me, I know that I would too.”
“I know. I pray to the Goddess to help us get through those tough times.”
“No more of this talk. Lets go watch some movies.” I smile at my brother who puts his arm around me and we walk to the theater room where everyone is already waiting for us.
