The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 60

Finally I feel my body start to relax and I’m hoping that they are resting at last. It seems like my body has been running since the day we left to find Freya. I’ve felt exhausted mentally and physically, but every time I thought they would stop, it seemed they gained energy from somewhere and we’d be gone again. Wait. Extra energy. Oh no. They couldn’t have been accessing my powers to help them keep going this entire time, could they? I have no time to really ponder on the issue too much because an overwhelming calm and sleepiness overcomes me, and my consciousness slips into a deep slumber.

I awaken in the place that Freya and I often went to when we would dream walk. The place is still as beautiful as ever, only it makes me sad knowing that I will never come here with her again. Wondering why I’m here, my feet seem to lead me to the place by the water that we would go and sit. Looking out at the water, I remember the times we sat here talking for hours about any and everything. She would tell me about herself, family, friends, things she would like to do and see and I had planned on making that part come true. We would have traveled together, and she would get to see all the things she wanted, then we would go back home and run our kingdom together. Once she was of age to start having babies then we would work on our family.

She told me that she did want children and that made me happy. There are some that don’t want to have kids, so I’m happy that my mate does but I had to explain to her that being a Lycan means we can’t have them as soon as wolves. Wolves can mate and start having children during the she-wolf's first heat. That isn’t the case for Lycans. Lycans have to wait at least ten years before they can start having children together. Freya wouldn’t have had any heat cycles until that time. She told me that it was fine with her because it meant we had more time to just be together as mates.

As I think about everything, we talked about in the short time we were together, I feel a presence behind me. My body stiffens and I instantly go into defense mode. The wind starts to blow a little, and a scent that I never thought I’d smell again hits my nose. The smell used to make my body calm and mouth water, but now it makes me angry and a growl a warning at whoever is coming near me. She’s dead, so I don’t know who is playing this sick trick on me, but they will die for trying to deceive me.

“Whoever you are, I suggest you stop what you’re doing and leave. You will not violate the sacred place of my mate and I.” I growl more and hear their footsteps stop but they don’t retreat.

“Alex, is that any way to talk to your mate? I know what you have been going through thinking I’m dead but I’m not. Please believe me. I need you to know that it is really me. I didn’t die.”

“Stop!” I yell. “You will not trick me into thinking you’re her. I felt our connection break and that means you’re dead.”

“Oh by the Goddess I have been saddled with the most stubborn Alpha in the world. Can you just look at me? Touch me and feel that I’m alive. Witches can mimic voices and even scents, but they can’t mimic the sparks that happen when our skin touches. Please Alex, I need you to believe me before it’s too late. Your wolf and Lycan have been on a deadly rampage. I’m afraid if they hurt innocents that I’ll lose you forever.” I can hear her voice trembling and know that she is about to cry. My anger starts to dissipate, but I can’t let my guard down. This could still be some sort of trick.

“If you are my mate, then tell me something that only we would know. We talked about many things here so if you’re really her, then there should be no problem. I won’t touch you to confirm until then.”

I watch her face as she starts to think about something to tell me. She will either come up with an elaborate lie or the truth. Either way, I’ll be able to tell. I haven’t used my powers in a while and wasn’t thinking straight so I didn’t use them while we’ve been talking. Too bad, it would have saved me time. Her face lights up as if she just had the perfect idea and my heart clenches. I loved seeing her face make that expression whenever she would get an idea or eat something that she loved.

“You told me that it would take ten years or so before we could have children. I told you that I never discussed my desire to have children with anyone before and was happy that you wanted them, and my biggest fear was that my mate wouldn’t want children. You confessed to me that you felt the same and was happy that I wanted the same thing.”

Looking at her face the entire time, I saw no lie in her eyes and felt no magic being used. There was only one thing left to do now to confirm whether or not she is really Freya. Slowly I move towards her, watching her carefully. She stands there calmly looking at me as though she knows that if she moves or does anything that I won’t go through with this, because I can also see the different emotions in her eyes and one of those emotions is...hope.

I reach for one of her hands and the minute our skin touches, I can feel the sparks erupt and I drop her hand quickly. This can’t be possible. She is supposed to be dead, so how is she standing here before me? “How are you alive?” She goes to hug me, but I move back a little not ready to embrace her just yet. My guard is still up and until I know how she is alive, I can’t relax. There is hurt in her eyes, and I feel bad about hurting her. Well, if it really is her then I’ll make it up to her later, but for now this is how it has to be no matter the pain.

“Why don’t we have a seat, and I can tell you everything that happened leading up until now.” I nodded and we sat down by the water like we used to but I kept some distance between us. She started telling me everything that happened after our mind-link was cut. I sat in silence listening to her recount the events of her fight with Tobias and his henchmen, the two wolves she told to run away, her encounter with the Moon Goddess and David rescuing her. The story was a lot to take in but I listened and used my powers to detect any lies and found that there were none.

“Tell me more about this Goddess Blessed thing. You’re telling me that I am a God and can’t be killed. What does all of this mean?”

“I don’t have all the answers. All I know is what the Goddess told me and she said she would visit you to help guide you, but things got all messed up with the kidnapping and this war that Tobias is waging on us. Baby you need to come back to the castle. I have no authority and David is doing his best with the help of your father, but the people need their king.” Then she said in a low voice. “And I need my mate.” Her lips trembled and that was all it took to get me to take her in my arms. I cradled her in my lap and felt the sparks where our skin touched and leaned in to kiss her passionately. We didn’t stop until we needed to come up for air. As much as I would have liked to do more, there was no time for that right now.

“I’ll start heading back tomorrow.”

“What about Khal and Stryker? Are they going to even let you take back control at this point?”

“Don’t worry about them. I have the will and strength to live now and that is what will allow me to take back control. I’ve been fighting the full extent of the blood rage this whole time, but it is strong and with them in charge it made it harder, but once they are on my side again, I should be able to break free. Don’t say anything about this to anyone but David just in case I can’t come back. When I wake up, I will attempt to mind-link you. I still can’t feel our bond but that is more than likely because he bit you. When I’m done with him, he’ll need a straw to be able to eat.” A loud growl leaves my lips, but I calm after she places her palm on my cheek.

“We will make him pay together my love.” An evil grin comes onto her face, and I feel my lips twitch into a smirk.

“Death is definitely too good for him. I want him to suffer for a long time before I end him.”

“As you wish, my King.” she says before pulling my face down to meet hers and we start to kiss again.

We break apart after a long make out session, and she has to leave. Once she is gone, I leave the dream world and wake my wolf and Lycan.

“We have to go back. Freya really is alive, and the kingdom is in chaos. Do not fight me and by the way, the two of you have some serious groveling to do with your mates. They are hurt and pissed, so I wish you the best of luck. I pushed them both to the back of my mind and put up a mental block before they could respond. I figured that was the best way to handle that situation since I felt nothing but rage coming off of them. This way they could calm down and think and I could do what I need to do to get back home and to Freya. I just hope that there is a home to go back to by the time I’m rested enough to travel in the morning. If I were Tobias, attacking now would be the perfect time since his main obstacle is out of the way. His pitiful army was damn near completely destroyed by my army and myself. I’m sure he took off to lick his wounds after losing that battle, but rumors of me going into blood rage have surely reached him and I know he has to be planning his next attack. I’m not going to let him hurt anyone else if I can help it. I drifted off to sleep thinking of everything that Freya told me and made a promise to the Moon Goddess to put an end to Tobias’ reign of terror and my own.
