The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 29

“So impatient little mate. Okay, so one day someone from your pack came to the castle and requested an audience with my father. Of course, my father granted his request and had me sit in on the meeting. The man told us everything that had been going on within the pack since your mother and her mate took over. The things he told us sent shivers up my spine. The last thing he said was that he feared for Luna’s life. He said that when she thought nobody was looking, she would be limping or sometimes her makeup wasn’t applied well, and he could see her bruises. They all feared it would be a matter of time before he killed her, so we decided to take action. My father sent in a spy to make sure that everything reported to us was the truth and what he found there was terrifying.

After he reported back, my father organized a group of special soldiers, led by myself, that went in and rounded up everyone in the pack and brought them all back to the palace. The bastard tried to get away, but I captured him myself and lets say he did not have a nice journey on the way back. My father held court for him and all that participated in his activities. The hardcore offenders like her mate, were sentenced to death and the others got sentenced to prison time or banished from ever being allowed to join a pack unless otherwise revoked by the King. Your mother lost her Lycan. He beat her so much and was in so much pain that her Lycan stepped in to shield her from all the pain. Taking constant beatings like that can kill our wolves or Lycans. As for your brother not having one, I don’t think that is the case at all. I believe he has one, but the gene is dormant. In his case, he would have to be bitten by another Lycan to get his Lycan to manifest and that will only be allowed if his mate is a Lycan.”

We all sit and take in the information that Alex has presented us with, and I don’t know about the rest of them, but my head is swimming. This is all just way too much to take in for one morning. My mind is reeling from learning that not only did my mother have someone before my father, but also that he was abusive. Mates, for the most part, are loving, caring and possessive, but I had never known of any to be so possessive to the point to where they beat on their mate. Now I am far from naïve, and have heard of it happening but never in my life would I have thought my mother was in such a relationship. The way she and my father are with each other I’d never have guessed she had a mate before him.

After talking for a little longer, we all get up and leave the office. I decide to go upstairs for a shower and to change into some better clothes. Alex follows me upstairs and his David shows him to his room so that he can do the same. Thirty minutes later, I am clean and dressed in jean shorts and a t-shirt with some tennis shoes. My hair is up in a high ponytail and I walk out into the hallway to head back downstairs. When I hit the hallway, I can smell my mate and quickly walk towards his room.

He steps out into the hall just as I reach his door and I almost collide with him but manage to stop in time. Instinctively I breathe in his scent and a smile comes onto my lips as my eyes close. When I open them, he has a smirk on his face that makes him look even more handsome. I pull him to me and reach up on my tip toes and kiss him with all the passion I have in me. He wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me back. After a moment we pull apart to get some air and then smile at each other.

“I cannot wait to mate and mark you Freya.” His arms are still around my waist.

“What are you waiting for my King?” I smirk at him.

“Unfortunately, we have to wait until your birthday. There’s a ceremony that must be had first. Plus, there is one more thing we will need to discuss and I need to talk to your parents, brother, and that male that was touching you when we found you during your shift.” He growled when he was referring to Zach and I couldn’t help but feel giddy at the thought of the strongest of our kind being jealous over someone like Zach.

“My handsome mate you have nothing to worry about when it comes to Zach. He is only a friend. Well, he’s more of my brother’s friend than mine, but he isn’t a bad guy. He had some issues because of how he grew up, but we had a talk and he started to change for the better. Now I am proud to call him a friend and future Beta of my pack. Anyway, what is it that we need to talk about now? I thought everything was discussed earlier.”

“We need to make sure that nobody says anything about who I am and who you are to me. We can’t take any chances that they will let something slip to the wrong person. I need you to understand that being mated to me does come with some danger. As royalty, there will always be someone trying to get rid of me and now that I have you, they will try to do that by getting to you. Freya, understand that I will do whatever is in my power to keep you safe, but if something should happen, I need you to know that I will move heaven and earth to save you. I’ll understand if you want to reject me but I’m really hoping that you won’t and will just give us a chance.”

I look into his gorgeous eyes and can see the hope and love he has for me. All I want to do is hug and kiss him and tell him that I can handle all of this, but how can I say any of that when I really don’t know if I can. This is a lot to take in and a lot to accept. Then again, when I think about it, this is exactly what I have been training for this entire time. Maybe not to the capacity of being a Queen, but being a Luna and a warrior is what it will take to be his Queen and I’m the best at both. Rejecting him never even crossed my mind and I feel bad that he even thinks that I would. I smile up at him and run my hands over his chest.

“Baby, I would never reject you. You are my mate and King which I find very very hot by the way.” He chuckles and kisses me lightly on the lips. “Besides your fight is my fight and I love to fight. I’ll kill anyone that tries to hurt you or anyone that I love. You’ve only ever seen the sweet side of me, but your mate can be ruthless when she needs to be and none of your enemies will want to see that.”

I reach up on my tip toes and kiss him on the lips and he kisses me back. We pull apart before things can go any further and head downstairs. There are more people in the packhouse now that training is over, and some are eating while others are either in the living room or the game room. We walk past them and there are some staring at us and I know they are wondering who this man is next to me. Some of the men looked at him with jealousy and the women did the same to me. I felt my wolf and Lycan stirring with jealousy and anger at the looks some of the unmated she-wolves were giving my mate. It took everything in me to stop the growl that wanted to erupt from me. He mind-linked me and told me that he belongs to me and not to let their looks bother me. That calmed me down some but not as much as holding my hand would but I know that we couldn’t do that right now.

Finally, we make it to my father’s office and I see that everyone is already there including Zach. He walks over to me and hugs me telling me how worried he was after he and my brother left. There’s a low growl coming from behind me and I know that it is Alex. I pull away from Zach and smile telling him that I am okay and thank him for worrying. My father stands up and clears his throat before speaking.
