The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 91

Freya’s POV

I could feel him with another woman again last night, but it didn’t last as long as usual. Maybe it was just a quickie or hopefully Alex fought through and sent the girl away before evil Alex could finish. Either way, I am thankful because the pain is excruciating. My mother says that it is because we marked one another and are lucky that only our human halves did the marking. If our wolves and Lycans had completed the mating ceremony things would be much worse. There have been cases of some mates going insane or even dying.

Tonight I tried to contact Alex again through dream walking and again the pain started soon after. I’ve realized that whenever I try, that seems to be when the pain starts. He seems to not like it when I try to contact Alex. Sleeping with those women has to be because I keep trying to contact Alex. That fact only makes me try harder to contact him. I can endure the pain if it means at some point that I will break through and finally be able to speak to him. Tonight, the pain didn’t last long again after I tried to contact him, but then something strange happened a while later.

After the last round of pain, I went and took a shower to soothe my aching muscles then climbed into bed. It still feels strange sleeping here again and not in our bed at the castle. There was a time when it would have been strange to sleep in any bed that wasn’t this one, and now it feels strange being in it. Funny how life works. I started to feel a pull that I only get when Alex and I are going to dream walk, so I laid down and closed my eyes waiting to fall asleep.

Once I fell asleep, automatically I was pulled into the dream walk. Could this be really happening? Was I going to talk to Alex after all this time? I allowed myself to follow the path I knew so well to meet him by the water. When I got there something felt a little off, but I paid it no mind. Alex was sitting there on the grass in our favorite spot. I started to walk faster to get to him, but when I was almost behind him, he turned and looked at me and that’s when I noticed what was off about the situation. This was not my Alex. His eyes were black for a second before turning back to the stormy grey color that I know and love.

“What are you doing here?” I growl at him.

“That is no way to speak to your mate. You’ve been wanting to talk to me for months and this is how you act when I finally show up?” he smirks while I continue to growl at him.

“You are not my mate. I don’t know what you are, you are many things, but my mate is not one of them.”

“Freya, you wound me.” he says holding a hand over his heart.

“I doubt it, but I wish I could. Damn mate bond.” He looks at me and chuckles. “What’s so funny?” I asked him.

“I’m just starting to see more and more why Alex loves you so much. Anyway, enough about him, why don’t you tell me why you want to talk to him so badly? If your answer is good enough, who knows, I may let you talk to him.”

“Why don’t you just let him out? You’ve done enough damage, just let him go.”

“YOU KNOW NOTHING! I haven’t done nearly enough and there is a bit more to be done before I am through.”

“Why are you doing all of this? I don’t understand.”

“You will all understand in due time. Now, unless you have something else, I will be going now. And Freya quit trying to contact him. I have him permanently blocked until I’m ready for him. Cheer up! He’ll be let out when I’m done. Maybe.”

“Don’t do this to him. You know that this will kill him when he’s finally back in control. Please let him go.” I begged him. He’s quiet for a few seconds before he walks up to me and grabs me by my upper arms while looking me in my eyes.

“Tell me why I should. You say it will kill him knowing his hands did everything, but did it kill him when he locked me away? Do you even know who I am? No, you don’t. The reason you don’t know is because of him. Do me a favor, when he comes back, ask him who I am and why I’m doing all of this.” He shoves me back and walks away from me towards the forest. As he slowly fades away, I can only wonder what he meant by everything he said.

“How does Alex know who he is and why he’s doing all of this?” Slowly I begin to fade back into a deep sleep.

The next morning, I wake up more confused than when I went to bed, but I get dressed and head downstairs for breakfast. My family is there and everyone else in the pack, but I don’t see Shayla. David is sitting and eating but I have known him long enough to know his head is somewhere else. I pile my plate full of food and begin eating. People are talking about various things, but my mind keeps going back to the conversation I had last night. He said that he would let Alex out only when he was done. He talked about having Alex blocked as if he is Alex’s wolf or Lycan but that can’t be because I’m met Stryker and Khal and neither of them seemed to have this side to them. Sure, I know they can be ruthless when they have to be but never just to be cruel. Could they? I shake my head to clear it of these thoughts. No. That’s impossible. The Moon Goddess herself said the reason she picked him was because he has a pure heart. There’s no way she would have given him those powers knowing he had this level of evil inside himself. Ugh! Nothing makes a damn bit of sense to me anymore. The more I uncover the more questions I end up with instead of answers. More pieces of this crazy ass puzzle to unravel.

“FREYA!” I hear my father yell at me and I look up startled.

“Yes dad?”

“Honey I’ve been calling your name for a while now. Are you okay?”

“Uh I’m sorry daddy. Yeah, I’m okay, just thinking about everything and trying to figure out solutions.”

“Okay, if you say so dear. I was asking you if you wanted to go out and have dinner tonight. Maybe we all should get away and that’ll help to clear our heads. We can come back with fresher perspectives maybe.”

“That sounds good dad, but you don’t have to do this for me. I know you’re all worried about me, but I’m fine. Alex will get through this, and we’ll help him be himself again.”

“I’m doing this because I believe we all could use a break honey. We’ve been going at this since the night of the party. Everyone is exhausted from training, planning, scouting, patrolling, and watching over the others that are in other packs. We are wearing thin. Time for a break to clear our heads and get some much-needed rest.”

“You’re right daddy. I’m sorry for working everyone so hard. Everyone needs some down time to be with their families and just rest. How about we make it a week to do anything we want?”

“I agree. We have all been working hard and we aren’t any closer to figuring this out. A break may be just what we need. I definitely could use more time with Shayla.” says David. He’s been very quiet this entire time.

After breakfast, we all got up and went our separate ways for the day. When dinner time rolled around everyone went to their rooms to dress and met downstairs. I noticed that Shayla looked tired with dark circles under her eyes. She looked up as if she felt me looking at her and gave me a small smile. I smiled at her in return before we all headed outside to the awaiting vehicles. Each suv had at least two guards accompanying the passengers and there was a car in the front and back of the line filled with guards. I thought it didn’t make any sense to have so many guards, but David and Ethan pointed out to me that being mated to the King and with things being as they are right now, that this was necessary. Not wanting to argue about it I just went with it for now. Alex had guards around him all the time but honestly, he didn’t need them. The man could take care of himself, but being royalty, guards are a part of the package. As I stare out the window all I can think is that I’ll take all the guards in the world if it means getting to have him with me again.
