The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 75

Bellevue’s POV

After I escaped that damn prison, I had some of my followers kidnap the body of that witch and deliver her to my underground bunker. Nobody knows that I have this place and I’m glad that I never told my mate and daughter about it. Those damn traitors! They will pay just like Alexander and his meddlesome mate. I don’t know why my family couldn’t see that I was doing all of this for them. Our daughter would have been Queen and then we would have moved up in status, which means we would have been set for the rest of our very long lives. Now I am a criminal, my daughter is mated to a regular wolf shifter and will taint our Lycan bloodline with any mutts they produce.

I pace around my room trying to think of the best way to exact my revenge on all of them, when there is a knock on my door. “Enter!” I call out and one of my workers comes in to give me the information that I have been waiting for this whole time.

“Sir, we’ve located the dark witches like you asked and they have agreed to meet with you during the next full moon. They said it has to be done then because that is when they will have enough power to do the spell that will awaken the witch.”

“Thank you. Is there anything else?”

“Well...”

“Out with it!” I shouted at him.

“They said there is one component they will need that they do not possess yet and it will be dangerous to acquire.”

“And what is this ingredient?”

“The blood of the Lycan King.”

Alex’s POV

The girls had their girls’ night and us guys decided to go to the gym and work off some of this pent up energy and aggression. I need to find Bellevue and rid the world of that monster once and for all. Tobias was horrible, but he was born that way. Bellevue on the other hand is the worst kind of enemy, one that used to be a friend. Those are the worst because they know things about you that your enemies wouldn’t normally know. Thankfully even I don’t know about my powers and what I am truly capable, which if I think about it is a weakness in itself, but they always seem to come when I need them and do exactly what is needed so that’s a plus for the good guys.

After our workout, we went back to the kitchen to get something to eat and some water. We talked about our mates in an attempt to get our minds off of Bellevue and everything that has been happening. “David, how is Shayla adjusting?” I asked. I’ll admit that when I found out she had a hand in kidnapping Freya, I was furious, but once Freya told me everything and even that she had forgiven her, I decided to let her be pardoned. Besides, she is also David’s mate and the last thing I need is another Tabitha on my hands to deal with right now.

“She is doing better than expected. Mentally she is getting much better, but physically she can’t go beyond hugging. We kiss but not for long and only sleep together at night, but she lets me hold her. She no longer wakes up screaming and drenched in sweat, so that is progress.”

“I hope she gets better soon and is able to put it all behind her. I’m sure it will take time.”

They keep talking and soon I am hit with a voice in my head telling me that I can help her with her problem.

“Alex! Dude, are you okay?” Ethan asks me. They both have a concerned look on their faces.

“What? Yeah, I’m okay.”

“You sure? I was asking you if you think we should go and join the girls and you blanked. You had a look like you were mind-linking with someone.” says David.

“I don’t know what it was exactly, but a voice in my mind told me that I have the power to help Shayla.”

“What do you mean?” asked Ethan.

“I’m guessing it means I can take those memories from her or maybe Freya can. I’m not sure.”

“Before we start talking about trying anything, I think we should ask Shayla if that is even something she wants to do. Some people like to get over their pain instead of erasing it from their memory.” says Ethan. I see David shake his head in agreement and I agree with them. Sometimes an easy fix can cause lifelong problems later. Wiping memories isn’t an exact science because something could trigger the memory and cause even more damage mentally.

“Tonight, I will keep this to myself, and you guys will do the same. As for whether we should join the girls or not, I think we should leave them alone tonight. They need a night to just be young women without us crowding them. Sometimes I forget that they are all just teenagers basically. I mean they are 18 and over, but they are still babies compared to us.”

“You’re right. Plus, they have been through a lot after finding us. They need a chance to unwind and be carefree.” said David.

“Yeah, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep without Renee next to me.” says Ethan.

“I feel the same way about sleeping without Freya.”

“And I feel the same about Shayla.” We all look at each other and burst into laughter.

“We are all pathetic. We are all over 200-year-old Lycans and already whipped by a couple of teenage young women. How did we ever manage before we met them?” We all burst into laughter again.

Once we all calmed down from our laughter, we started talking about how well of a job the girls were doing at getting the people housed and medical attention and the organizing and distribution of the supplies. My little mate is turning out to be quite Luna Queen. She has taken to her duties with ease and grace, and of course it helped that she was already trained to be a Luna by her mother.

After a while we say good night and head to our rooms to shower and prepare for a night without our mates. Normally I sleep naked but without Freya there, I decide to put on a pair or black silk boxers without a shirt and go to the sitting room to read for a bit before bed. As I’m reading, I slip into a trance, and I can hear the Moon Goddess in my head. She is warning me that my dream was in fact a premonition and warned me to keep my mate and friends close as I will need them to pull me out of whatever it is that will cause me to side with the enemy. She also told me to tell Freya to remember what she told her and to make the right decision when the time comes. As fast as the trance came over me, it left, and I felt a push on my mind.

Opening the link, I heard a panicked Freya asking me if I was okay and if something happened. I assured her that I was okay and that I must have dozed off reading. She calmed down but I could feel through the bond that she didn’t entirely believe my story. I told her that we would talk about it after her girls’ night and to just enjoy her night. It wasn’t anything that we needed to discuss right now. That answer went over better than the dozing off story and she told me she loved me and I said the same before we cut the link.

After talking to the Moon Goddess and Freya, I was no longer in the mood to read so I went to the bedroom and got into bed. I laid there for a long time exhausted but not able to fall asleep. I needed Freya, especially after the talk with the Goddess, but I didn’t want to interrupt her good time with her friends. Getting out of bed, I went to the closet and retrieved one of her night shirts from the dresser and went back to bed with the item sniffing it to get her scent. She had taken her pillows with her for the pajama party. I told her she could have taken the spare pillows, but she insisted on taking her own pillows.

At some point I fell asleep and when I woke up the next morning Freya’s scent was stronger and there was a warm body lying on my chest with her leg draped over me and I smiled to myself. When I opened my eyes her long jet-black hair was hanging past her butt draping over her arm. I gently ran my fingers through her silky hair so that I wouldn’t wake her. She looked even more beautiful asleep if that is even possible. She starts to stir, and I stop moving my hand, but instead of waking up she holds onto me tighter and soft moan leaves her lips as she settles back into her sleep. This position is one that I could stay in forever, but that is not a reality sadly because as King I can’t stay in bed all day. There’s plenty of work to be done getting the kingdom back in order and not to mention the regular business that I must conduct on a daily basis.

Carefully I get out of the bed without disturbing her and head to the bathroom for a shower before I get ready to tackle the problems of the day. My father and David have been a great help in dealing with the daily business while I concentrate on the housing and reconstruction mess from the war. Mostly I spend my days helping the workers rebuild homes and listen to some of the problems of the citizens to get a better understanding of what is needed in the kingdom.

By noon I was pouring with sweat and took off my shirt leaving me in just my jeans. I grabbed a water bottle from one of the many coolers we had for the workers and drank the whole thing in two gulps before grabbing another and sipping slowly this time. A woman I had never seen before walked up to me and I stopped drinking to hear whatever she had to say. She stopped in front of me and bowed and when she rose, I noticed she was actually a beautiful woman though she was nothing compared to my Freya. My mind wandered to her temporarily wondering if she was okay and what she was doing.

“Your majesty, my name is Darla, and I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time?” I nodded for her to continue. I noticed that she took a deep breath before she started talking as if she were nervous. What does she have to be nervous about? I told my wolf and Lycan to be on alert. We don’t know this woman and with the way things are currently, I don’t trust anyone.

I was wondering if it was at all possible to get some stores and other things closer to the kingdom so that we don’t have to venture so far to go to malls or movie theaters?” Why was she nervous to ask me that. Honestly I have no idea if we can do all of that right now, but in time I’m sure we could. It was actually a good idea. The interaction with humans the better for us. I’ll talk to David and look into it after all of the reconstruction.

“Right now, may not be the best time, but after we rebuild everything and get everyone settled into a routine, I don’t see why we wouldn’t be able to do that. That is a wonderful idea and I’ve thought about it over the years, but everyone seemed to be happy with how things were, so I didn’t go through with the idea.” She kept staring at my chest and that was starting to upset me. Doesn’t she know that I am a mated Lycan?

“Darla, seeing as I am mated, you may want to quit staring at my chest. I’d hate to see what happens if my Queen were to catch you.”

“I guess I shouldn’t let her catch me then. Besides there is nothing wrong with looking and admiring. I don’t know why she-wolves or women in general get so bent out of shape when another female looks at their man. I have a right to look wherever I please as long as I please as long as I don’t do anything. Plus, your precious Queen has nothing to worry about because I am waiting for my mate and even if I wasn’t, no disrespect your majesty, but you aren’t my type.” After that, she walked off as if I offended her. Oh well, at least Freya didn’t catch her. I love my mate but her temper almost rivals my own. I still remember the way she blew up when my sister hugged me the night of the mate ball before she knew Shaniece was my sister. While bending over to grab my shirt, I felt something sharp slide across my back, and I grimaced from the pain. I stood up and spun around to see what happened. There was a guy with a sharp piece of aluminum with blood on it and I could feel it trickling down my back.

“What the hell are you doing?” I yelled out of anger. The guy shrunk back in fear and visibly started to shake. Once I saw this, I took some deep breaths, calming myself. “I’m sorry for yelling. Forgive me, the sudden pain startled me.”

“It is okay your majesty. Forgive me for my mistake. I couldn’t see around the aluminum to know that I was close to anyone.”

“Don’t worry about it, it was just a mistake. I’m already healed.” He bowed and hurried along to go and clean off the sheet of aluminum and I felt a wet towel being applied to my back as I smelled the scent of my mate.

“I could feel you were in pain, and it scared me. I didn’t know what happened to you.”

“I’m okay Freya. Some guy just passed too close to me with a sharp ass piece of aluminum. I won’t lie, it hurt like a bitch when it first cut me, but I healed so fast.”

Unknown POV

Further towards the forest in a secluded area, the man runs behind a tree and morphs into a woman with long black nails, red hair, and a long black cloak covering her body. She quickly says a chant that extracts the blood from the aluminum sheet and puts it into a vial. Quickly she says another chant and makes the aluminum disappear before anyone can see her. “The Lycan King will never know what hit him. We are going to bring them all to their knees once we have Tabitha and the Goddess Blessed Lycan on our side.” Laughter flows out of her as she vanishes in a cloud of dark smoke.
