The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 53
As I go deeper into the house her scent is overpowering, but I can’t find her. I check every room and even underneath the structure, but she is nowhere to be found. “Where the hell is she?” I started to scream her name, but I get no answer. Leaving the house, I go deeper into the forest, but her scent is not as strong anymore. “It is like she just disappeared into thin air.” says my wolf. How could her scent be so strong and then just disappear? No vehicles can pass through here, so she couldn’t have been driven out of here. We need to find her body. Where is she?
Freya’s POV
He bit me! That son of a bitch actually bit me. My neck feels like it is on fire and my body starts to convulse. When someone that is not your mate bites you in your marking spot, that is called being forcefully marked as theirs but only if you are unmarked. If you are bitten while marked, the pain is excruciating and comes from the poison secreted from our bites. That’s why rogues are dangerous. They are more wolf than human after a while and the longer they stay feral the more poison they develop. We don’t know why it happens that way, because normal wolves do not have this mechanism.
Darkness surrounds me and I’m back in the place that I met the Moon Goddess. She isn’t here this time, but my wolf and Lycan with me. They are both so beautiful. “What are we doing here?” I ask them. “Are we dead?”
“We are not dead, just resting for now. Our bodies have gone through tremendous trauma, way too much for us to help in healing.” says my wolf.
“I’m sorry that we could not help you more during the fighting, but we hadn’t fully recovered. We lent you as much strength as we could.” says my Lycan.
“I know you did, and I thank you both for that extra help. You kept us alive longer than we would have been if I didn’t have the help. Any idea how long we are going to be here?”
“I’m guessing until we are healed enough to regain consciousness. In here we can talk and interact but out there we are in what you humans call a coma. Hopefully our mate will find us and take us home.” says my wolf.
Suddenly, I don’t know how, but I can feel myself being lifted and carried. I know that whoever this person is, they are not our mate because I do not feel the tingles or sparks. Oh no, what if it is the one that bit me, and he is takin me away? What if he takes me to another state or out of the country? Alex won’t be able to find me if he does that and there is no telling what he’ll do to me while I’m in this state.
A melodious voice speaks and tells me to calm down, and instantly I do. There’s a shimmering light and then the Mood Goddess appears before us. My wolf and Lycan quickly go to her and sit next to her. They look very content as they both rub against her. She smiles down at them both and then turns her eyes towards me. “You can calm yourself. The person that found you is one of the wolves that you set free, and he has you in a house in the forest. He is now cleaning and bandaging your wounds as best as he can, but they will not hold for long. Do not worry, I am making sure that the Beta finds him and takes you home.”
“David? Why not Alex? Has something happened to him? Was he hurt or killed?” I’m starting to panic now. There has to be something wrong if she sent the Beta and not my mate to collect me.
“Something has happened to him, remember what I told you about being able to accept what he will do or reject him. The people think that he has experienced blood rage before and that is the cause of the red tinge he gets when he is angry, but that is not correct. He is now experiencing blood rage because he thinks that you are dead.”
“Why would he think I’m dead? Even in a coma my heart is still beating so he should be able to feel our bond.”
“In normal cases you would be right Freya. Remember how you saw your own eyes turn red in the corners whenever you’re angry, but that didn’t happen before your Lycan awoke after you met Alex?” I simply nod my head yes. “Well you know that you don’t have blood rage, so why would you think that he does?”
“Because that is what everyone says happens when you have blood rage.”
“Red eyes are a part of it, but when in blood rage, the entire eyes are completely red, and doesn’t happen gradually. You would be instantly uncontrollable. Alex has never been that way.”
“Then what is the reason behind what is happening to us?”
“Alex has plenty of powers, more than any Lycan or wolf has ever possessed, and he will be the only one that I ever bestow that gift upon. You see, Alex is what is called Goddess blessed.”
“Basically, what you’re telling me is that Alex is not only the Lycan King, but also a God?” She smiles at me and laughs.
“No basically about it my dear, that is exactly what he is, and I believe I chose well. I’ve chosen him as my representative on Earth. He has every power that I possess with two exceptions. He cannot create nor destroy a race of supernatural beings. This was supposed to be told to him after the coronation and your mating ceremony, but things did not go according to plan.”
“That explains him being so powerful and all, but what about me? I mean is it a part of the mate bond that my eyes do the same since mates usually take on abilities or traits of the other?”
“Well, you’re part right. I believe I chose the right mate for him as well. You are not a goddess, and you did inherit some of his traits but not all. When taught to use your powers correctly, you will be able to stand beside him and hold your own. You are what is called Goddess kissed. There are a few of you in this world, though a very select few, and all women. I’ve fixed it to where nobody is able to find and use them for their powers. Nobody knows what I am about to tell you. These women will only get their powers when they have found their true mate. If they find their mate and he does not have a pure heart, then those powers will never manifest in her. If she is rejected or if she rejects her mate, then the powers will stay dormant. They will surface if her second-chance or chosen mate turns out to be worthy of her. If she stays with the unworthy mate and they have a daughter, then the powers will go to her and hopefully she ends up with a worthy mate. That is also what happened to you. Your mother had an unworthy mate, and her powers would have surfaced with your father, but she lost her Lycan.”
“If I lost my Lycan or if it was dormant like my brother’s then I wouldn’t have obtained the powers. So, we aren’t cursed, that’s good news. Now how do I get out of here and back to the world so that I can help Alex?” She looks at me with sad eyes.
“By the time you wake from this slumber, Alex will not be Alex anymore. His wolf and Lycan have already taken over and he is killing every rogue wolf and Lycan as well as vampires. I told you that he cannot destroy an entire race of supernatural beings with his powers, but that does not mean that he cannot do it. If his wolf and Lycan are not caught and put away somewhere until he knows you are alive, then he will never come back from what he has done. Alex will hate himself for what he has done and it will take you to pull him back. Innocents will be caught in the crosshairs Freya and that is what will hurt him the most. Accept or reject him.” She faded away as quickly as she came.
“I had so many more questions for her, like how I can get a message to someone to try to stop him. Or more importantly, why doesn’t she just capture him and put him somewhere until I wake up?”
“Because the one thing that she gives all of us, is free will. He has to want to be captured and stopped and not forced.” says my wolf.
“Yeah, but you heard her. Alex will hate himself if he hurts any innocent people.”
“We know, but for now there is nothing that we can do until we wake up.” says my Lycan.
“Just hope that the body count isn’t too high once we finally do.” says my wolf. I look at both of them and they are smirking. Well it looks like it to me anyway.
“Why do you two look like the cat that ate the canary? Don’t tell me that you’re happy about him killing all those creatures?”
“They do deserve it. We stand behind Stryker and Khal. It is very unfortunate for the innocents, but you have to understand something. Humans are forgiving but wolves and Lycans are not. If you come for what is ours then we will take what is yours.” They both look so menacing in that moment that they even scare me and I’m a part of them. Subconsciously I know that they are me, so this is actually my feelings being manifested through them. I have to find a way to stop Alex.
David’s POV
We all ran out of the castle ready to find Freya and bring her back home. My best friend has been losing his mind ever since she was taken. He doesn’t show it on the outside, but I’ve known him since we were kids, and he is not himself. I almost pity the ones that took her. Freya is scary as a fighter, but Alex can be hell on earth and that was before he had a mate to lose. I would be the same way if this happened to me. Mates are sacred gifts from the Moon Goddess, and to have them taken from you can be devastating. Honestly, I thought that Alex would have just gone off on his own to find her, but instead he decided to take an army and even included Freya’s father, brother, and Zachariah.
Once we get closer to where Alex said her scent was, he stopped. The forest was crawling with rogue wolves, Lycans, and even vampires. We were expecting the first two, but not the last. Vampires don’t work with our kind. They stay away from us and we stay away from them, just like the witches. All of us begin fighting and we are tearing into the enemy. I’m noticing that many of them are not very skilled at fighting and others are down right feral, so they are all over the place. My strategy is to try and focus more on the feral ones and the vampires as they are the most vicious. The battle is going in our favor and just when we are about to win, there seems to be more pouring in and then I hear an earth-shattering roar from Alex. I know that he had accessed some of his powers, but he was in control of them and doing just fine. This loud growl was like nothing I have ever heard before and I don’t know what has caused it to come out of him. Instantly I look around for any direct danger to him because as his Beta, my job is to protect my Alpha at all costs.
Seeing no danger, other than the occasional vampire or rogue Lycan trying to take him down, there is nothing that should have caused that reaction. I see his hand go to his chest and his eyes glaze over, so I know that he is mind-linking someone. His eyes return to their normal color for a few seconds before I can see red taking over completely and he starts ripping apart the enemy. He was like a hurricane destroying anything that came into his path. Nicholas had gotten badly injured and was sent away with a few guards to get treated back at the infirmary in the castle, so thankfully he was not around to see this part. Seeing the way that Alex was fighting, I knew that he was in blood rage. Freya was dead.
