Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 59

We stood outside the wall and listened closely to what was around us. The herbal blend Miranda gave us and placed at hot spots around the walls helped us tremendously and obviously worked in our favor. We had a patrol go by us and we went undetected. Absolutely marvelous work she has done for us all. Our warriors took their place, waiting for Everest’s command. We watched for over an hour, waiting for the right moment. A woman was walking our way when the guards at the gate stopped her and began giving her a hard time.

Aman’s voice spoke to her, “Where do you think you are going? You know you can’t leave and go past these walls at night.”

I heard her sigh “I don’t care. I am leaving this ridiculous place! Let me through! I would rather be a rogue than go along with whatever nonsense was given to us!”

I looked over and Everest’s brows were raised. We have to be careful now because people may be here by force of commands given. He mind linked me to “See if you can see her on the other side of the wall without being spotted. We need to make sure she will be sate”

I nodded my head and two warriors lifted me up in the air and I saw her. She looked like she had been crying and was fuming mad. i linked her and her features along with what she was wearing to everyone in the pack.

Another male voice was heard “Did the King f**k you and then leave you?” They laughed and my eyes went wide as I was lowered.

I heard her growl and jump at one of them. There was a struggle between the three of them and we sat and listened. This is not what we needed. We didn’t need anything drawing attention to us. I heard her whimper and I knew that they were going to either hurt her, kill her, or force her to stay and I did the

dumbest thing ever. I hopped the wall. Everest struggled and failed to get to me as I went over the wall. The men were shocked when my Lycan jumped on them. We struggled for just a short moment and I broke their necks and took her with me to the other side. I shifted back to my human.

“You, you’re Avalynn and you’re King Everest!?” She said and we nodded and placed one finger over our mouths indicating to keep hushed voices.

“Yes. Who are you?” I asked her quietly. “Candace.” She smiled and stuck her hand out. I took it and we shook hands.

I read her mind quickly and gasped when I found out what she had been through in the last twenty-four hours.

“You were mated to Dexter? He rejected you?” She frowned “Yes, how do you know?” “I can read minds and hear thoughts,” I told her.

“Oh, cool. Yeah, he rejected me. I couldn’t tell he was my mate. He plans on making us both his mates and marking us both. That is after he murders everyone else. He said it was safer for him to reject me. I just hate him now and he slapped me for calling him out on his crazy psychotic shit.” She had the look of hell fire in her eyes and I was shocked. She was wearing an apron and I assumed she worked in the kitchens. I was also shocked that the fates mated her to a technical prince. It didn’t matter though. I was, however, proud that she stood up to him. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Just then, Jeremy came back from King Brent and Miranda to fill us in. He froze in his tracks as his

eyes locked onto Candace. I looked between the two. I knew that look very well. Everest gave it to me on that same night he found me on that cliff’s edge. Would fates really work that fast? It was so rare to have a second chance mate. Would she be blessed like I was?

“Mate,” Jeremy growled and her eyes snapped over to him. He was nearly all over her and pulled her into his arms, nearly purring in satisfaction “Mine. Mate.” His lycaon held onto her.

“What?” she sniffed the air. “No, I don’t smell you. I don’t smell any of you.” She frowned as she tried to pry him off of her. Just then, he took off the herbal blend around his neck and shoved it into my hands. It still lingered on him but I guess it was just enough of a hint of his scent that she knew he belonged to her

and she him.

She let out a possessive growl and latched onto him and rubbed her scent all over him. “Mate, mate, mate.” She nuzzled her face against his neck and seemingly purred happily.

I shoved the herbal blended necklace back to Jeremy. “You need to wear this, they can not get a whiff of your scent.” I warned him and he put it back over him.

“1 smiled, looking at Candace, “Welcome to the family. Jeremy, are they ready?”

“Yes, all is ready. They will wait five minutes before blowing that side up after we do this gate,” he reported.

“Okay, let’s place the explosives in the correct spots.” Everest stepped up and helped the men place several small C4 bundles along the wall. We could have just hopped over the wall but we really wanted to make an entrance and create chaos.

“Candace, did you see anyone else other than the two guards around?” Everest asked her as she closed her eyes. I assumed she was retracing her steps and trying to remember if there was anyone

else around. I also dipped into her mind to see what she was remembering and knew the answer before she said it out loud.

“No, not that I remember.” Everest nodded his head. “Let us take cover. Jeremy, do you have the detonator?” Everest asked him.

“Yes, I do. Lets get the ball rolling.” He took Candace by the hand and led her away from the danger area.

Everest took my hand and led me away from the wall. He linked me as we walked. “That is a good sign. He seems happy to have her.”

I only nodded my head a little bit, just enough for him to notice. Jeremy may have just been an overly flirtatious or just caring individual wanting me to not worry about what would happen if something terrible took place during the fight.

Everest held his hand up three fingers to count down the explosion. Three, two, one finger down and the explosion rocked the world around the wall. Bricks went flying through the air, smashing windows on the other side.

Then, screaming happened along with the panic and chaos surrounding the noise. We walked in with the dust and smoke around us. I looked to my left and then my right. Warriors began slowly filing around us in a semi-circle formation. Everest spoke to the men, some were from his kingdom and some were from the Southern Territory.

“Warriors, we are here for only two people and two people only. Many of you have families of your own. I am giving you this opportunity to stand down as an order from me, the King of the Northern Territory. This battle will be over quickly. Hand over Dexter and Brennon and all will end. Join us, your rightful place in our pack.” Silence stretched all across the grounds. The warriors on the other side looked

amongst themselves and some stepped towards us. Growling sounds from our warriors were heard as a threat to stay away.

Everest held up his hand for the growls to stop “If you decide to step away, go to the river in the north

with your family where the wildflowers grow best. We will meet you there, no charges will be brought to you and you may live your life.” I watched as several stepped away in a hurry to go find their family to bring them to safety. This certainly helped our cause. Dexter even lost some of his men in the process. Many, I am sure, have witnessed how unstable he truly is.

Out of the blue, two huge lycans jumped Everest as he turned to say something to one of our men. felt my heart fall to my stomach and then shoot back up into my throat in a panic feeling. He cleared them off of him though with ease. He was way stronger than most, if not all here and slung one on to a wall, his body making a cracking sound as his bones broke. He growled and ripped the other lycan’s throat out as his body fell and went limp on the ground at our feet.

A growl was heard from above and I looked up along with everyone else to see Dexter standing there. He was angry and it made me smile. I couldn’t wait to sink my claws into him. His eyes were burning holes through me. I felt anger and rage burn through me. Jeremy was next to me with Candace at his side and I saw him look between the two of us. He growled again out of anger.

“Candace, did they hurt you?” He said between gritted teeth. “Hurt me?” She laughed at him. “Like you did when you slapped me?” She asked.

I swear to the Goddess that Jeremy’s head spun around like a possessed demon and growled up at Dexter. Next, something was thrown in the air towards where Dexter stood.

“Cover your heads!” Jeremy screamed and we all ducked as an explosion hit the bottom of the balcony where Dexter stood. The concrete broke and exploded everywhere around us. Small and large portions fell to the ground around us. We all shifted and prepared for the worst.

“What the f**k!” Everest yelled over at Jeremy but then smiled at him.

Dust was settling and coughing was heard as Dexter emerged from the rubble growling and throwing a heavy piece of concrete at us.

It was on.
