Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 19

Iran and ran until suddenly there was no trace of her scent. I threw my claws through a tree and it came crashing down next to me, barely missing me. I felt someone trying to push through my link. As much as I didn’t want to be bothered I let it through.

“What?!” I growled.

“Sarah is awake and Amber is awake.” It was Jameson and I could feel his relief.

“Good. I’ll be there shortly.” I responded.

“Avalynn?” I heard right as I closed off my link. I needed the silence to think, this was not looking good. So many people panicking and trying to push through. I can’t do this. I felt myself drift back as my Lycan pushed through further in a fit of rage. I watched as he slashed and tore through the forest and killed any animal in his path. His thirst for blood not satisfied. I let him as I wept for my mate in the back of our minds. Neither of us would be satisfied until the cause of our pain was dying by our hands.

When I finally pushed back through my Lycan felt broken and lost without his mate. I felt the same, my other half was gone, vanished. I cleaned off in a stream and washed the blood away from my body. My clothes were torn, but it was to be expected. I did just run through the forest in my Lycan form afteralt.

When I finallh reached the hospital I was met by a crowd of people. I pushed through and held my hand up, my people making room for me to pass. My mother, surprisingly was already there waiting on me. When our eyes met I could see the question hiding behind her eyes. I only shook my head no and I heard a sad sigh come from her.

“Very well. Let’s get this started. We need to find her.” She motioned for me.

We walked through the hallway together until we reached Sarah’s room. Two guards standing post outside her room. I nodded at them and walked past Sarah sat up in the bed and her eyes seemed to light

up at the sight of me.

“Everest. You’re here.” She said breathlessly. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“I am. How are you feeling?” I questioned.

“I had a slight headache. But it’s better now. I’m sure it’s my Lycan healing” She smiled at me.

“Do you remember anything?”I looked at her.

She sat for a minute and I was watching her as she played with the sheets on her bed. Almost as if she didn’t know how to answer.

“Yes I do.” She began “Well kind of, I guess. Not much, really.” She looked away and out to the window of her room.

I frowned “Tell me what you do remember.”

“Well I was looking for your father and I remember passing someone briefly and their scent wasn’t Lycan. I realized I have never seen him before and wanted a better look before I could turn to question him

I guess I was struck?”

“Why were you looking for my father?”I moved to sit in the chair in the corner of the room. “To give him my apologies over how I was behaving the last few days. I haven’t been fair to you or

your mate. I guess I just missed you and was jealous that another woman was now with my man.” She

looked down at her hands and sighed.

I stood and walked over to her. “I am sure he would have appreciated your apologies. I know I do, but I was never yours.” I looked down to her and saw her hands ball into a fist. I struck a nerve. “Do you know what he looked like? Do you remember?”

She slowly nodded her head and began describing the man she last saw. “He was tall, but not as tall

as you. He had a muscular build with a sun kissed look to his skin. Not super tan but not ghostly white guess? He had brown hair and deep brown eyes. He had a strong jawline with a sharp nose. Oh and he smelled like a forest.”

I raised my brows shocked at her response and nodded before leaving the room.

When I walked outside her room I shut her door. I linked the men standing there

“She doesn’t leave

and no one goes in unless it’s medical staff, myself, my mother, or Jameson. Understand? Mother will you

please stay with her while we are gone. Let the doctors know that they MUST keep her here and not

release her. She is acting strange.”

“Of course dear. I thought it was odd she knew so much but hardly saw anything.” My mother

responded.

They guards both nodded to me. As I was on my way to speak with Jameson I was thinking how something just didn’t feel right or sit with me correctly. For someone who only had a split second to see her attacker and not remember much, she sure took in his physical features quickly. My mother noticed

it too and I am glad I wasn’t the o ly one who caught it. It was odd and my Lycan could sense there was something more that she wasn’t telling and keeping from everyone. One thing that was puzzling me was why put herself in harms way? She could have died by that blow to the head.

As I walked up to Amber’s hospital room, I could hear their hushed voices and Jameson attempting to

soothe his mate.

“Amber sweetheart you tried, you tried your best. You were taken by surprise and almost died. I am sure that Everest does not blame you. You seen their face and we have already got their descriptions down.”

I lightly knocked on the door and entered when told it was okay. When I walked in Amber began crying and immediately apologizing to me between sobs. “Oh Everest! I tried so hard to follow her when I heard her talking to someone outside. A male voice and when I sniffed the air I couldn’t catch a scent.” She was speaking quickly, almost in a panic with tears streaming down her puffy face.

“Shh, shh it’s going to be okay.” I tried to tell her but she only shook her head. “Everest the two were Lycans I could sense it but they had no scent to them. The way they moved and

fought shows that they had training and were strong. They shot both the guards I saw the one do it before I blacked out. I tried getting to her, I really did. I am sorry.”

I nodded and looked over at Jameson and nodded to come out in the hallway. He agreed and we took a silent walk, away from eavesdropping ears.

“Sarah gave me a description of who hit her. And it honestly sounded like Avalynns first mate. I am going to make contact with her old pack and see if he can be accounted for. Do not let anyone speak to

her other than our most trusted. I feel as though this is all set up from the Southern Territory. I got news this morning that their was an assassination attempt on the brother, again. Only this time he was captured.” / ran a hand over my face.

“If you have to go there I am coming with you.” He stated and I only nodded my head.

“Get a group of men and women together to go with us. We leave tomorrow before sun up.” I turned to walk off away from the hospital and turned to look at him for a moment. “If Amber is able to travel, I need her to go with us. She is the only one who can identify them.” He nodded to me and we parted

way.

My phone was buzzing and it was Ted who had sent me a text.

Ted- “Hey so I can stay here with Sarah I am only a driver afterall. It’ll be me, Joseph, and Allen taking

shifts. Is this fine? I tried to Link you but/ understand why you have it blocked.”

Me- “Yes that is fine, thank you. Tell them I thank them for volunteering to stay behind.”

I walked along the sidewalk and looked up at the sky that was quickly fading to the night. “I will find you, my love. Whoever done this will pay. I will make sure of it!” I promised to myself and to her.

I walked and made my way to the training grounds and already was a group of roughly fifteen or so men and Amber. I debriefed them and we were on our way, heading in the last known direction they went. Planning on stopping by different packs to gather any information we could. First stop would be Blood Moon then to Crest Moon. I needed to speak to Alpha Michael, her brother Josh and her best friend Claire. I

couldn’t call them and tell them over the phone. They were set to arrive as a surprise to Avalynn withing the next week. Maybe they could help, they will help. I felt lost and torn without her by my side.

Avalynn POV

I looked out the window of the SUV, I stayed still and quiet as to not disturb the men in the front of me. They said few words between the two of them and when I noticed they would turn to look back at me I shut my eyes until I thought it was safe. I was watching the roads we took, trying to remember where we were. I quietly tried to come up with the best plan I possibly could to get free and away from these

men.

I felt alone and scared. I couldn’t even get in touch with my Lycan. It was as if she had disappeared from my body entirely. I watched nothing but trees pass around us. The road for a long time was bumpy and rough. I was sure we were staying off the beaten path. I wonder if Everest was already looking for me yet? Surely he was.

Just then I felt a volt of power shift through me as if Charlotte was trying to make her way to me. I had the sudden urge to rip the man’s heart in front of me out from his chest through the seat. I felt Charlotte dig and claw right through whatever barrier had blocked her from me.

“Do it. I am here fight and kill them.” It was Charlotte, she was back and here with me.

I let my claws elongate and felt Charlotte’s rage pour into me. I channeled the rage and fear into one powerful source and sent my fist of claws into the back of the seat and into his back. When he gasped for air I ripped my hand back, taking his heart with me. I dropped it on the floor between my legs and feet.

The man driving screamed obscenities at me as he slammed on the brakes, sending me slamming into the seat infront of me. He was reaching for the gun in his waist holster and I sliced his arm deep with

my claws. Charlotte emerging and taking full control.

“How? You were supposed to be suppressed?” He was shaking as we both fought for control over one another. I finally clenched my hands around his throat.

“I was but it wasn’t strong enough.” Charlotte growled as she squeezed.

The man growled back as he began shifting and fighting back. Just then we felt a sharp pain deep into my back leg. I hadn’t noticed the back door opened and some strange man was standing there with a smile on his face. He again injected me with something in my other leg. “Hello sweetie.” My body forced Charlotte to step back and it was as if she was disappearing again. No no no, this can’t be happening! could feel it, like a strong and thick blanket of fog enclosing her entire being. No matter how much she fought it was no good, the fog hindered her from me. Soon she would be gone again.

“Stay strong. I can’t, it’s so strong. I will see you soon. Keep your wits about you. Everest will come. This is a strong magical potion. Stay strong and fight, do not trust them.” Charlotte said before it felt as if

she was gone.

“How feisty. How strong. How beautiful you are.” The stranger was talking to me. He had a beautiful yet dangerous feeling to him. As he reached to pull me out I felt my body not responding and slowly fading. Whatever he injected me with now forced my human side to sleep.

“You’re perfect in every single way. Now you’re mine, finally.” I faintly heard him say as he carried me while he walked. My vision was blurred and my body went limp as I was now completely out of it.
