Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 28

Dexter POV

I should have known better than to trust in these stupid rouges. They are always causing some sort of

trouble. I could see them snapping at one another as we rode in. Who knows what it’s about honestly.

When we parked the SUV at the Gate I looked around for a moment. Everything seemed normal, nothing out of place. I opened my door and inhaled the air into my lungs. No other scents clung to the air that represented danger or threat. My brother nor that Northern King Everest scent clung to the air. We were safe and could get set up as soon as these morons were taken care of properly.

I heard the commotion of the men begin to get more rowdy and I stood up to look in the direction the growling was coming from. I glared and knew this needed to be handled now before we entered these gates. I would not have this kind of behavior inside these walls. I leaned down and looked at Avalynn who

had also heard the commotion. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Avalynn, baby girl, stay here for me? I need to straighten this out.” I told her.

She sighed and nodded her head.

As I rounded the front of the SUV an interesting wolf caught my eye. He seemed to be backing up to the SUV and placing himself between the commotion and Ava.

I called over to him “You there! The black and grey wolf with that interesting pattern.”

He looked over at me and bowed his head out of respect. “Stay with her and of this gets heated take her to safety.” He bowed his head and moved to the door of the SUV as ordered.

As I approached I noticed that rhey had now shifted to their human self and that by their scent it was two wolves arguing over something that happened in the past. Well, from what I overheard. Unacceptable to be arguing when I needed them to work.

“Hey!”I yelled at them. They stopped and looked at me as I walked over to them. “I don’t know what old beef you two have between one another but the s**t ends here. If you can’t be around one another I’ll pick one of you.”

“Pick one of us? For what?” one of them asked.

“Do you really want to find out? Because if you do i’ll choose you.” My Lycan pushed forward and they both stepped back. “Now shift back. You can’t protect yourself in your human form.” I commanded.

As soon as the words left my mouth a loud crashing sound came from above my head. I covered my head as I heard the wall cracking next to me. I thought it was going to collapse on top of me.

I stood and looked up and a Lycan I knew was standing behind me. “What the f**k! How the hell!?” | shouted and turned to run towards the car. She can’t see himn I thought to myself. I shifted in mid run into my lycan. I heard Everest growling behind me. I looked back at him and then to my men who were standing there startled “Attack him, attack them!”I waved my hand around.

As I approached the car Avalynn was in mid shift, her Lycan pushing through. I could see it now, her eyes although the same color, brighter and now glowing. s**t, s**t, s**t. This was not in the plans! How did this freaking happen?! The black and grey wolf stood by her side growling and seething at me.

What the..? What is going on?! I felt panic rise inside me and I knew I needed to get to her. She was

angry and her Lycan was huge.

I approached her and she let out the loudest most deadliest growl i had ever heard. I linked Robert

“Inject her now we need to run.”

As if she heard me her head whipped looking around frantically and when she saw him coming at her full speed she lunged at him. It took him by surprise and he couldn’t stop to defend himself fast enough. She went right for his throat and ripped it out quickly. Robert’s body fell beside her, the needle landing on the ground. She turned her attention to me then growling. “Knock her out, do what you must except killing her.”

My men complied and jumped her as I had commanded them. Now was the time and only chance ! could get. This would give me the time I need to run. I knew a lost cause when I saw one. I needed to get out of here and back east to regroup and come up with a plan.

Everest used that moment in time to jump me, sinking his claws into my side and his teeth into my shoulder. I howled in pain and dropped to my knees, reaching for him and pulling him with all my might. I shoved him off and he snapped back at me and my fist connected with his jaw.

I watched as he staggered back and heard the men a few feet away struggling with Avalynn. Damn, the girl was stronger than I thought. I heard a painful cry come from her and Everets head snapped to her and back at me. Just then I swore I saw my brothers lycan slinging men left and right.

Avalynn let out another howl and my brother and some of his men were fighting to free her as I no longer saw her standing. She was still fighting though, tough woman.

“You better help her.” / began to tell Everest “If not, she will die.” I lied and smiled at him.

He growled at me and rushed to her aide and I took that opportunity to tuck tail and run off. I didn’t

plan to stop but I someone caught my eye. It was Miranda, in a trance of a spell or something.

Perfect, I thought and smiled to myself. This traitor will pay the ultimate price. I snuck up and around her as she was chanting a spell? completely distracted. I looked out at the men who seemed to be sluggish looking. She was doing something to them.

I crept right up behind her a took my claws and slashed right through her side. She let out a scream of pain as blood trickled out of her. I snatched the necklace she wore that hid her scent and shoved her off the wall she stood on. I heard the cracking sound of bones breaking on contact from the fall. I opened the locket ripped the photo and tossed it down to her lifeless body. I made the decision to leave her for dead. I held the necklace tightly between my teeth as I ran out of there as fast as I could. I never turned back as I headed back east. Soon the sounds of the battle faded behind me and I was home free.

Avalynn POV

I shifted and I knew the unique wolf was there to help me. I read his mind, Everest was here. I frantically looked for him and I heard a loud crash. I saw his Lycan and I began making my way to him only to be stopped.

Someone was trying to drug me again, I looked around, Charlotte saw him and lunged at him. She

opened up her mouth and ripped his throat out. After that we turned and made eye contact with Dexter’s

Lycan, growling.

Men started coming at us, from all around. Growling, slashing, biting, and trying to pull us down. We fought alongside the unique wolf. He had my back and I had his. I was taking the wolves out easily.

My claws gutting them or ripping their throat out but the other Lycans slowly began knocking me

down,

Ones claws dug into my side, another simultaneously into my calf and I let out a howling cry of pain. Just then another’s fist connected to my face knocking me back into the metal frame of the SUV. My head was fuzzy feeling and swimming with pain. As one was closing in on me I stuck my claws through their

chest, ripping out whatever I could.

Just then a large Lycan I had never seen before crashed through the Lycans and Wolves around me then Everest was there. He ripped through Dexter’s men as if they were nothing. Fighting was still going on

around us when Everest let out a loud growling noise. Soon silence fell around us and he and I both had

shifted back to our human forms.

When did I shift back? Was I that caught up?

“Yes it is over. Dexter has fled and we have won. The rouges have surrendered.” Charlotte told

1.

“Oh. I feel so weak.” I told her.

“I know that’s why I had to shift us, we need to start healing.” She drifted back into the back of our

minds as I listened to Everest speak.

“My friends and strong warriors from all around, we have won today’s battle! Dexter is gone and we must heal. We will go back home to our families for today. I want each of you to keep your eyes and ears open as I fear we haven’t heard from the last of him just yet!” He was loud, strong, and I was so proud.

I smiled at him as I leaned against the SUV. I lost a lot of blood and it was still slowly oozing out of my body. I looked around at everyone. My brother Josh was here, Jameson and Amber were here too. We all looked like we had seen better days with deep cuts and bruises battering our bodies.

Everest walked over to me and smiled down at me. He pulled me into his arms and I finally felt myself relaxing for the first time in a few weeks. His head dipped down and his mouth pressed into mine. I gladly welcomed his kiss as my lips pressed back into his, my arms pulling him closer.

Aman I hadn’t met yet interrupted us, Everest growled and it caused me to laugh.

“Avalynn this is King Brent of the Southern Territory. Brent this is my mate, Avalynn,” Everest introduced us to one another.

“Oh you’re alive and okay!” I exclaimed. “Your brother told me you were dead. I am very sorry to hear

about your father.” I told him.

He gave me a small half smile “I am just glad you are okay. I am very sorry my brother has done this to you. Are you..” He trailed off and inhaled the air deeply.

His eyes flickered and I saw his Lycan pushing through “Mate.” He said as his head turned in another direction. “Mate is hurt!” He took off running and we followed him the best we could.

“Oh Goddess, Miranda. She’s your mate? The fates are weird!” I heard Jameson say.

“Miranda! Miranda sweetie, it’s okay, it is going to be okay. I am here now. Oh Goddess help!” Brent was in a full panic mode.

When we stopped there was a woman on the ground covered in blood, Miranda. She had been

slashed and it looked as if a few bones were broken too. Brent was freaking out I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder, “Take her and go to the hospital, now.” He nodded as his eyes had tears in them. As he lifted her and she screamed out in pain. He shifted fully and took off through the mountains, getting to a pack hospital would be far more quicker.

“Ready?” Everest took my hand and I nodded to him. “We have matters to take care of at home.” As

Sao

we were walking Everests phone rang.

“Hello Ted. What news are you bringing me today? Oh? Avalynn is safe and she’s with me now. Yes, I will tell her you said hello. You found him? Good. Where? Ahhhn the weasel. Okay, put him down in the cells. We are coming to take care of them both. Oh really? Her father demands her out? Too bad she commited treason. Who does he think he is? Kings orders are she stays in the cells with no visitors.” He hung up and sighed.

“What, what is going on back home? Everything okay?” I looked at him and he slowly shook his head

at me.

“Avalynn, I need to catch you up. Trust me I will, in a little big. For now though, I just want to enjoy this

moment with you for now before we move on to the next disaster.” He stopped walking and looked down

at me.

“I have missed you terribly and I am so sorry you were not better protected. I underestimated Dexter and his abilities. I have failed you today and I don’t know what I can do to ever prove myself worthy of you and your love.” He sighed and his face was sad.

I lifted my hands up and placed them on either side of his face. “You had me protected. They killed people Everest. What if it had been you? I wouldn’t be able to see you here, now. Right in front of me. I wouldn’t be able to do this to you.” I stood on my toes and brought his face down to mine and gently pressed my lips against his. Our lips moving and working against one another. His hands wrapped around my waist and pulling me closer into him. My hands moved from his cheeks and into his hair. My arms tightened around him in and embrace before breaking the kiss. “You couldn’t of rescued me today if you were there then. Let’s go home?”

He nodded and we continued to walk. We were going to take a plane back and he would fill me in on

everything. First thing first we had to make a few pit stops on the way.
