The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 23

A few minutes later he comes out and drops the clothes near me before backing up and heading back inside. He has a smile on his face, and I know my face has a confused look and he just mind-links me and says that he’ll explain later. I turn to look at my mate and see that she has missed the exchange as she is already going behind a tree to change. I move back to the front of my mind taking back control and let the shift take over my body. In seconds I am back in my human form and start to put on my pants and a shirt. The shirt is a bit tight, but it will have to do for now. Turning towards my mate, I see that she is back in her human form and pulling a sports bra over her head. I turn away before she catches me looking and turn back when I think she is finished. She’s now wearing a black sports bra and jeans that fight her body like a second skin. It takes everything in me not to rip the clothes off of her and take her right here. I shook my head to clear those thoughts and waited for her to lead us to the pack house. Goddess help me!

Freya’s POV

I had so much fun running and playing with my wolf and Lycan as well as with our mates. Getting to know them better and strengthening all our bonds is an important part of being mates, though it feels like there is something more to him than he is letting on, and I’m wondering if that is a good or bad thing right now. We make our way back to the pack house and the Beta comes out and gives us some clothes before turning and going back inside. Something has been bothering me since I’ve been able to think clearly. Is David my mate’s Beta? No, that can’t be because if that’s true then that would make my mate the King. Surely, he would have told me he is the King. Right?

After I finish dressing, he grabs my hand and we walk to the pack house. It is still quite early in the morning, so I know that most are either still sleeping or at the training grounds or working. My mother and father are at the breakfast table along with Beta David and Gamma Ethan. I didn’t get to interact much with either of them due to all the pain I was going through last night. Goddess I am so happy that ordeal is over with, and I never have to go through anything like that again. My mother stands and quickly walks over to me and embraces me in a hug followed by my father. Then she hugs my mate and I have to control the growl that almost slips out. I don’t like any females touching what is mine. For now, the thoughts of him being the Lycan King leave me, and my stomach starts growling. We all sit back down at the table, and I notice my mate, mother, and father’s eyes all glazed over and I guess they are all mind-linking each other.

I take the time to fill my mate and my plate with food while they talk to whoever about whatever. When they finally finish, I’ve already started eating and have a mouthful of bacon that I quickly wash down with some orange juice. My mate smiles at me and I smile back, then he turns to my parents and gets a serious look on his face.

“There are some things that we should discuss, and the first being my reason for asking you both to leave last night. Thank you for understanding and not being upset with me. I just couldn’t let her go through that pain any longer. The way things were going, her shift definitely would have been longer than mine, especially when I realized that she was fighting her shift.” My mate says to my parents.

“We understand that you did what you felt was right. We would never go against something that will help our child.” My father says as he grabs my mother’s hand.

“My husband is right. If we couldn’t help her, then we are glad that her mate could at least. There is nothing more painful than seeing your child in pain and you can do nothing to help them. It broke my heart to see her like that, and we’re grateful that you showed up when you did.” My mother smiles with tears in her eyes that she quickly wipes away.

I turn to my mate and ask him what he is talking about, and they all look at me before he clears his throat and focuses those gorgeous grey eyes of his on me. “Do you remember when I stood in front of you after your parents left and commanded you to shift?

I started to think back to when I saw my parents leaving and remembered him standing tall in front of me with his Alpha aura seeping out and him telling me to shift in a very commanding voice. Looking back at him, I nod.

“What I did was called a force shift. It is not something done unless absolutely necessary and even then, it is not something very favored by our species. Forcing a shift can also be dangerous especially if the person is fighting the shift like you were my love.”

“How can it be dangerous? All you did was speed up the shift, for which I’m grateful for by the way.”

“You’re grateful now because I was able to get you to stop fighting it, but that is not always how it happens. Do you remember how the pain intensified before I got you to stop fighting?” I thought about it and realized he was right. The pain did increase, which I did not think was possible.
