The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 12

When I am done, I tell them all that they are dismissed, and I will see them at the next Sunday dinner. There was plenty of work that I needed to catch up on, especially after what Michelle did with the menu order. I didn’t know it at the time, but I should have commanded her to do one more thing... stay away from my damn mate.

Alexander’s POV

I woke up the next morning and was grumpy because I tossed and turned all night. It was the first time that we didn’t dream walk. As I get up and head to the bathroom for a shower, I start to wonder if she slept just as restlessly as I did last night. After seeing her I tend to sleep like a baby at night, but last night I barely got any sleep. I wasn’t plagued with nightmares or anything, the sleep was just not comfortable. After my shower, and other daily grooming as well as getting dressed for the day, I head down to have some breakfast. Thankfully I am not running late so that the others won’t have to wait until I am there before they can begin eating.

The King eats first, then the rest of the pack. That is just how things go. I am not a heartless ruler, if I am going to be late then I will mind-link my Beta and tell him to let everyone know that they can start without me. On the battlefield I am merciless and heartless, but that is only because whoever I was fighting was trying to hurt the ones that I love. My family and my pack mean everything to me, even the ones that get on my last nerve like Michelle who is texting me for some unknown reason now. My life would be so much simpler if my parents never met her parents. We’ve known each other almost 200 years and never have I given her any reason to think we would ever be together.

You see, ever since my parents explained to me about the mate bond, I’ve always wanted to experience it for myself. Looking at my parents and how they love each other is what I want in my life also so picking someone to be my chosen mate has never been an option. After a century of not finding her, sure I had sex with a few women but never anyone from my immediate pack. Back when I was younger, my Beta and I would go out to shifter bars and have drinks and on occasion a woman, but I never brought them back to the palace. I would never have sex where I know one day my Luna will have to sleep.

Finally, I make it downstairs to the dining room and sit at the head of the table. My mind is all over the place this morning and I think I should go for a run to calm myself and my wolf and Lycan down. Once I sit down the other pack members sit down and the servers come out and start serving the food. The food smells amazing and I’m damn near salivating smelling the bacon. Today’s breakfast consists of eggs cooked every way you can think of including omelets, bacon, sausage, ham, chicken fried steak, grits, waffles, pancakes, and blueberry muffins. Being that we are Lycans we consume plenty of energy especially when we shift due to having extremely high metabolisms, so we eat a lot to keep up our energy levels.

After breakfast I headed out into the forest at the back of the castle and stripped out my jeans and black T-shirt, then I let the shift take over my body. My bones crack and break then realign to form my wolf body. Lycans have two forms. Our first is a wolf form much like the regular shifter wolves only we are bigger, and the second form is our Lycan form. In this form we can stand on two legs and have a bit less fur than in our wolf forms. This second form is what strikes fear in the hearts of anyone we meet in battle. It is what humans fear in their nightmares.

Once the transformation is done, my huge black wolf shakes out its fir and takes off like lightning into the trees. I love being in this form and can’t wait to go for a run with my mate. At the thought of our mate, my wolf lets out a happy howl and runs even faster letting the wind blow through our fur. When in this form, I tend to let my wolf take over and have fun because it is so rare that I can get out these days. Finding my mate, planning a Mating Ball practically last minute, dealing with Michelle, and the Rogue problem has all been so time-consuming. My wolf and Lycan let out low growls at the same time at the mention of Michelle. They both have always disliked her. Once my Lycan told me that there was something unsettling about her and she doesn’t listen to her Lycan.

My wolf runs for about an hour all around the perimeter and stopped by a lake for some water before finally heading back home. When we reach where I left my clothes, I shift back and put them on before heading back inside to start my day. Before I make it through the door good enough my Beta is in front of me with a panicked look on his face. Relief seems to come over him before anger takes over his features as he stares at me. The look on his face is so comical that I almost burst out laughing. Almost.

“Your majesty! Where have you been? Nobody could find you and I kept trying to link you but I couldn’t get through.”

“Relax. I took my wolf out for a run. It was greatly needed if I am to get through today with murdering anyone.” I dragged my hand across my face and sighed.
