The Warrior and the Lycan King

Renee swiped her dark hair into a messy ponytail before killing the engine of her mustang and making her way to the pack house her brown eyes scanned the hall as she entered. The sounds of kids laughing came from downstairs while cigar smoke billowed out of the den. She slipped into the den grabbing a glass pouring a double shot of rum she exited unnoticed. Her mother's voice came across the mind-link "finally you're home go change and meet us in the dining room we have much to discuss for Alpha Marcels ceremony" she rolled her eyes at the order but responded "sure mom and he's not Alpha yet.." "Renee stop you've got to give him a chance you're not kids anymore" "he's still an id.." "stop it!". She smirked as the mind-link went silent trotting upstairs she went into her room and showered as she exited the shower a familiar scent hit her and she chuckled "Alex! you're back" she came out wrapped in a towel and hugged the tall blonde sitting on the edge of her bed he laughed blue eyes sparkling shoving her off "alright alright enough of that I've only been gone a couple days" she grinned at her best friend as she stepped into the closet grabbing a pair of jeans and a grey shirt. "Well tell me everything how was the trip whats the bloodmoon pack like?" Alex sighed shaking his head "not much different from us just a small pack starving under the royal lycans" she rolled her eyes at the mention of royals. They called themselves royal in reality they where nothing more than a bunch of hired hitmen for rival packs who had forced most of the smaller packs into smaller sections of the country where it was impossible to thrive while they kept all the good hunting and farming land for themselves. Unfortunately like most bullies they had size money and power which had led to them creating their own royal titles King, queen etc now everyone was stuck paying them to simply survive. Seeing the eye roll Alex snickered "come on now you're not going to swoon and tell me how hot the King is?!" he grinned wiggling his eyebrows "I don't care how hot the King is he and his whole lot are nothing but a gang of thugs" he laughed again knowing this was an ongoing argument between the two he suddenly switched gears "so are you going to Marcel's crowning ceremony? she shrugged "I'm a warrior Al it's in the job description" he gave a nod and then winked "well your late for the rehearsal" she groaned slinging her boots on and running down the stairs to the dining hall. Silently cursing the entire way she could not believe they where making Marcel alpha there where so many other wolves that would've been a better fit but it was his birth right is what they all said and it was that birth right which caused the elders to look the other way when Marcel was busted selling drugs and embezzling money from the pack he was an embarrassment and she hoped one day her mate would drift into their territory and take her from under his rule. She paused as she approached the dining room door straightening her shirt and pulling her hair up into a high ponytail as she stepped through the door she glanced around several tables had been set up to house all the pack warriors she nodded to a few before her mother and father waved her over her dad's dark brown eyes sparkling with amusement "about time you joined us" she pecked his cheek and glanced over his shoulder at a map of their territory "so where are we doing this" before he could answer there was a loud crash in the doorway as Marcel broke through the crowd his normal green eyes glowing gold "mine!!! Mate" his wolf howled as he came closer Renee's wolf Talia growled "oh my goddess no anyone but him nooo" Renee stood in total shock watching the scene unfold as the other wolves moved out of his way Marcel finally reached her and lifted her up nuzzling her neck murmuring and growling mate over and over. She closed her eyes and shook her head no no no this was not happening. She shook her head hard as if shaking off a fog this couldn't be right everyone before her talked about finding their mate and the instant attraction and the tingling and love she wanted to vomit violently Talia was snarling in disgust and protest. She closed her eyes it's a bad dream that's it she opened an eye and stared nope he was still mauling her neck and making a scene she groaned audibly and his head snapped up his eyes meeting hers a couple of the other warriors glanced at the floor weary of her reaction. "Marcel please" she looked behind him all eyes of the pack on the two of them "can we please go somewhere private" he smirked at her arrogantly "lead the way Mate" he responded she rolled her eyes as she led him past her parents shocked faces away from the crowd out the dinning room and out the front door of the pack house once outside she breathed in the cool night air and whipped around to glare at him "Marcel what the hell there's no way..." he smirked and shrugged reaching for her stupidly "I can't explain it either but you're my mate" she shook her head no "no Marcel I. I.. I dunno what is happening here but no this is not right I don't feel anything for you I can't" she paused meeting his glare "I won't.." she lowered her head and sighed before continuing "I Renee warrior of the blue moon pack reject you Marcel alpha in waiting as my mate" he snarled grabbing her by the throat and shaking her "you little b***h! you think you can reject me?! I'm your alpha and you will be my mate!" he roared and flung her to the ground. The commotion caught the attention of several pack members who where just arriving to the pack house Marcel's parents being among them his father stormed across the yard to his son "Marcel what is the meaning of this?" Marcel glared his eyes full of rage "this b***h rejected me.. me her Alpha her mate!" Renee looked up at Marcel's father "Alpha Daniel I'm sorry there must be some mistake even Talia doesn't feel the bond" the older Alpha lowered his eyes sadly. Before he could respond the sound of gunfire exploded across the lawn Renee turned trying to find the source bullets peppered the lawn all around her she yelped and mind linked the rest of the pack "rogues! rogue's on the front lawn" The front door burst open at the exact moment their Luna Mira Marcel's mother shrieked Alpha Daniel had been shot blood and brain matter covered her dress. Renee grabbed her Luna by the wrist dragging her shrieking across the lawn she howled in rage and heartbreak and before Renee could stop her Mira had shifted her large red wolf Aurora charging towards the attackers enraged it was if time came to a standstill when the bullets tore through the beautiful red wolf. The warriors that had tore through the front door where charging the woods where the attack was coming from suddenly Renee was jerked from behind and slung into the house her father roared "the kids! Save the kids! Go now! Don't look back" Renee shook her head "dad no" he grabbed her kissed her forehead and shoved her back into the hall "Go!"
