The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 77

“You’ve thought of everything, haven’t you? The next time you take my kill away from me there will be consequences. Understood?”

“Understood.”

“Now we can go and let them have some fun with each other for a little while. I can hear Ethan coming and they cand handle this guy and this mess I’ve made and the mess I’m sure you made of the others.”

We take off running and this time we run alongside each other instead of chasing one another. As much as we love chasing, the last thing we need is for another incident to happen like a few minutes ago. The one thing that scares me is to have my mate taken from me. I’m not as strong as he is, and I don’t know if I’m skilled enough to be able to get him back if something were to happen. Thankfully I have the ability to dream walk, but I had to be reminded of that by David, to get him back by convincing him that I was still alive. That almost didn’t work because his wolf and Lycan didn’t want to believe that me being alive wasn’t a trick.

Letting my Lycan take over first since he was already in his Lycan form, I receded to the back of our mind so that they could have some privacy. They can switch on their own when they are ready without me needing to do anything. I drifted into a state of sleep until I felt a push on my mind. Someone was mind-linking me and I opened the link to hear my beautiful mate’s voice telling me that it was time to return home. I said “Okay”, and we took off back towards the castle.

After another shower, we got into bed and cuddled until we fell asleep. I awoke from a fitful sleep and decided to go to the kitchen for some chamomile tea to calm my nerves. There were guards outside of our door ever since all this has been going on, and whenever we leave the room, they are to accompany us. Since it was only me, only one of the guards tagged alone. We walked in silence to the kitchen where I put a kettle of water on the stove and grabbed a tray to put the tea pot, tea bags, cups, and sugar on while I waited for the water to be ready.

Once the water was done, I poured the hot water into the tea pot and left the kitchen. The guard carried the tray for me and even put the tray on the coffee table in the sitting room for me. I thanked him and he went back outside of the room to stand guard again. Sitting down on the sofa, I put the tea bags into the teapot and let it steep for a few minutes before pouring myself a cup and curling up on the sofa. My mind began to wander to everything that has taken place, all the information that I have learned from my mother being a Lycan who was abused by her first mate to me and Alex being Goddess kissed and Goddess blessed by the Moon Goddess herself. “My shifting has become one wild ride and I really want to get off.” I say to myself as I sip my tea.

In the bedroom I can hear Alex stirring and I know that he is missing my presence. The man can tell whenever I am not near him even in his sleep. That would be normal of any true mates but everything with us seems to be magnified. Even as I sit here, knowing he is just in the next room, I am feeling restless being away from him. I’m hoping that it will calm down after a while, but I’m doubting that it will. I can hear him get up and start to walk into the sitting room. He’s only wearing boxers which I know he only pulled on to come in here with me. The man sleeps naked and for the most part I enjoy that he does.

“What are you doing awake already? It is only four in the morning.”

“I was having trouble sleeping so I got up and made myself some tea to help me fall asleep. I’m sorry if I disturbed you.”

“The only thing disturbing me is the fact that my mate isn’t sleeping.” I smile at him.

“The tea seems to be calming me, so I think I’ll be able to go back to sleep. Let me finish this cup and I’ll come back to bed.”

“I think I’ll sit with you and have a cup myself. I’ve been having weird dreams and I’m hoping that’s all they are and not some kind of premonitions.”

“What are the dreams about?” I asked him curiously.

“War mostly. So many dead and I can’t even think of healing them all. The disturbing thing is that Bellevue is at the center of it all and he has not only Tabitha fighting with him, but plenty of the older Lycans that still believe they are better than wolves and every other species.”

“That is very disturbing.” The look on his face tells me that there is something else that is bothering him about these dreams or whatever they are, so I sit and wait for him to keep talking.

“That isn’t the worst of it though Freya.”

“Alex, you’re starting to scare me now. What could be worse than what you just told me?”

“I was also on their side, and most of the killing was done by me.”

Later that day, Alex kept himself busy working on how to capture Bellevue and get Tabitha back before his dreams manifested. The witches were working on locator spells to find Tabitha while I kept myself busy avoiding Alex by helping those that were imprisoned by Tobias find places to live and also get medical attention. Some would need therapy, mostly the women who were raped and their mates who were sometimes forced to watch. Sometimes I wish we could bring him back to life just to kill him again only very slowly. He deserved a slow and painful death for all the pain that he caused my mother and countless other women and children.

My parents and brother went back to their pack to make sure everything was prepared just in case another fight did happen. They also needed to go back because they had been away for far too long. Alex and I thanked them for all of their help and sent guards to escort them back home. They would also be staying with them for added protection. My coronation and our mating ceremony has been put on an indefinite hold which has made more than a few people upset, but there is no way that we are going to plan celebrations and have parties with everything that is going on right now. That stuff can wait.

“Freya are you almost finished?” asks Renee. She has been helping me find homes for everyone and arrange for groceries and other household needs to be delivered to each home.

“Yeah, I think I am done for the day. Why?”

“I was wondering if we could have a girls’ night. Me, you, and Shayla could eat snacks and watch movies and have some girl talk. I’m sure we could all do with some fun for at least one night. I love my mate, but I could do with some time away from him as well. All this war talk is scaring me more and more every day. I know that is part of his job and that war and fighting is something that is a part of our life, but after seeing all that I’ve seen, I don’t want to see anymore. All those dead bodies and blood and guts.” She makes a face that makes her look sick and I can’t blame her. In our old pack, there was fighting but not like what happened with Tobias, and my father and the warriors never brought the dead back while we were awake until we were much older. Renee was never around to see any of that stuff though. Up until she came here the girl never even took training seriously but being mated to a Gamma, she kind of has no choice as it is also her job to help him train.

“I understand what you mean Renee, and yes, I think a girls’ night will be good for us.”

“I’ll get everything set up in the theater room for tonight. Maybe the cook will even be nice enough to make some of those lemon cakes for us. Mm they taste so good especially with vanilla ice cream.” I laugh at the look on her face when she talks about the lemon cakes. She is right though; they are very delicious.

“Okay. I’ll let Alex know so that he isn’t looking for me whenever he finishes working tonight. Are we going to wear pajamas too?”

“Of course! Pajamas are a must for tonight. I’ll let Ethan know too so he doesn’t worry. Lately he has been extra possessive, and I don’t know why. Maybe it is just because of the situation with Bellevue that has him on edge.”

“Alex has been on edge too. Two nights ago, it took me almost an hour to calm him down. My worry was that he would shift and cause damage again. I hope some news comes soon and we can end all of this without a war happening.”
