The Abused Lycan and Her Mates

Gabriel POV I was out walking through the woods when Cameron jumped me. He was always there with me even though he was a year younger than me. “Dude, do you have to do that every time?” I asked him as he kissed my cheek and jumped off my back. I chuckled at his antics. My beast was telling me that he was ours but he didn’t smell like ours. I remember him telling me that he was bi-s****l and found me attractive and felt a pull to me but not strong like a mating bond. We both were upset when I talked with my mother about it but my father just shook his head. Even Uncle Cole and Uncle Keenan didn’t understand it either. “So, are we going to go searching for our mates this year?” Cam asked me. I looked at him and sighed. “Yeah, mom said that we can take the whole year to travel” I tell him. He smiles at me and then shakes his head. “I bet Aunt Sky is ready to take a long vacation. I heard dad talking about how hard she is working at keep the peace with vampires and werewolves from another kingdom.” I looked to him and knew what he was thinking. “Yeah, I heard dad talking with Michael and Alpha Xander too. There is some shady s**t going on and I really want to help in anyway I can but every time I bring it up to dad, he just tells me not to worry about it.” We continue to walk back to the pack house lost in our own thoughts. Once we get closer, I see mom standing there waiting for us. “About time you two got back.” She says with a smile. She knows that I like to hunt for my blood and my lycan enjoys the meat. My lycan was pitch black with red eyes like a vampire but I also had an extra set of fangs in my lycan form. My mother says that I was blessed by the goddess so I didn’t have to struggle like my mother did when growing up. The only way someone can tell that I was a hybrid was my eyes. One eye would turn black and the other red but only when my lycan came forward. Cameron hugs mom and I walk up to hug her too. “Well, since you both are here, lets go inside to talk” she says with a serious face. We both followed her up to dad’s office. When we get there both Uncle Cole and Uncle Keenan was there too. I looked to Cameron and he shrugged his shoulders. We both go to sit down and then my father clears his throat. “I know that you both had planned on going to look for your mates but the problem with the vampires is getting out of control. This afternoon, we got a phone call from the northern coven asking for help with the rouges.” I am shocked that they are having a hard time getting them under control. My father gave me a knowing look that told me to stop overthinking. I sighed and looked to mom. “Gabe, we are so sorry but we are going to send you and Cameron to help.” She tells me and I know that we are going to have to delay looking for our mates again. We both were in our twenties already and most of our friends have found their mates already. I looked over to see Cameron with his head down. He was having a hard time with his lycan lately and he worried that we might turn feral if he doesn’t find his mate soon. I was already partly there but found a way to keep ther feral edge at bay for now. I looked back to mom and she nodded her head. “Mom, you know we will go where we are needed but we both are also having a hard time with our lycans. I am worried what will happen is we don’t find out mates” I tell her. I am open with my parents about everything. They both look at each other and then my father sighs. “Son, as soon as we are able to find what is going on with the rouges, I promise that you will be free to search however long it takes to find your mates.” Both Cam and I release a breath that we were holding. Just then we hear a knock on the door before Xander walks into the room. He was an older Alpha that trained his warriors to be spies and gather information. They were good and we spent some time training with his pack and Michael. Michael was on a mission now but didn’t share any information with us what he was up to. My thoughts were, he was looking into the rouge attackes in the neighboring kingdom. “Xander, so nice to see you again” my father says with a smile. “Your highnesses it is great to see you as well.” He says as he shakes my father’s hand. “You have something for us don’t you Xander” my mother says. She was always good at reading people and I had a feeling that he is about to sharing something that would make this more complicated. He nods his head and sit down on the couch. “I got a phone call from Michael and it's not good.” He starts off. My lycan wakes up and listens in. “Michael found a group of rouges that have a pet, as they call her.” I can’t help the growl that seeps through. Everyone looks to me. “Sorry” I say and wait for Xander to continue. “As I was saying. They have a pet but she is a lycan. When Michael saw her, they were feeding on her. He sent me a location but warned that this is a smaller group of a rouge pack and the girl is the leader’s favorite pet that he lends out to his second and third in command.” I stood up and started pacing. I don’t stand for abuse in general but something about this is setting my beast off. My father walked over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. “Son, calm down.” I looked up to him and saw his lycan was forward, which meant my beast was forward. It was dangerous when he was forward. I nodded my head and took a deep breath. I felt another hand on my shoulder and looked up to see Cameron in front of me. He nodded his head and I felt calmer at his touch. “Sorry everyone, I need to go for a run” I say as I take off out the door. I know Cam was right behind me when I started to shift and run off into the woods. I went to the waterfall and laid down at the edge of the pound. What is wrong with me? I heard someone approaching me but didn’t move. I knew it was Cam by his scent. He walked over to us and sat down. He placed his hand on my head and started moving his hand through my fur. My beast started purring and leaned into him more. Cam started laughing before I felt him trying to link me. “Gabe, get your beast under control.” He says with a chuckle. “Cam, do you think we could be mates but there is just something missing that is not allowing us to feel the bond fully?” I asked him. He was quiet for a minute btu continued to run his hand through my fur. Cam leans more into me and lays his head against my neck. “Gabe, I feel something for you. It feels like a pull but I think you are right. I think there is something missing. Maybe there is one more part to us and that person will set off the bond between all of us.” Cam states as he nuzzles into my neck. We never did anything together wanting to wait for our mates but we would cuddle together like this and it felt right. Our parents think its due to us growing up together and say it’s a bother like bond but we both knew it was something more. We stay there until the sun starts to set. “We should probably head back.” I link him. I hear Cam sigh before feeling his weight move off me. “Let’s head back. My dads have been trying to link me for the past hour” Cam says as he stretches. Once I stand up Cam walks over to me and nuzzles into my neck again before he starts walking back towards the pack house. I follow him into the woods. Before we clear the trees, Cam hands me a pair of shorts to put on. I do not mind being naked but my beast has a fit every time. As we approach, Uncle Cole was standing by the door with his arms crossed over his chest. We were in trouble. “About time you two decided to come back. You missed dinner and….” He didn’t even finish before he sighed. “Look, I know that you both need to find your mates and this is going to tough on you, but I know that you guys can handle this.” Uncle Cole continues. I look to the ground defeated. There was nothing that we can do. I was to be the next ruler of our kingdom and I needed to help those who needed it. I looked back up and can see the worry in Uncle Cole’s eyes. “Uncle Cole, we can do this. We will help in any way we can.” I tell him and he nods his head. “Alright, well let’s get you two get some food and then you both will need some sleep. You leave in the morning to head out to meet up with some of Xander’s warriors before heading to the Northern pack territory.” He tells us as he turns to walk back inside. I look over to Cam and he gives me his smirk. We both eat our dinner and then head off to our rooms. I lay on my bed and wonder what is going to happen. “We save the girl” my beast speaks up. “Of course, we will. What is your deal? You are normally calmer than this” I asked him but he just growls before going quiet again. I close my eyes and try to sleep but my mind wonders back to the girl. What happened to her? Why are they doing this to her? Who is she? Is she a wolf, lycan or a vampire? I hear my door open and close quietly. I smelled Cam as he walked over to my bed and sat down on the edge. “Can’t sleep either” I asked him. He sighs before he lays back with his head on my stomach. “I can’t stop thinking about her. What she is going through” Cam says in a quiet voice. He was always soft when it came to women but he also can’t stand when someone is being abused. I open my eyes and sit up on my elbows and look into his eyes. “Cam, we will find her” I tell him and he nods his head. “Can I stay here tonight with you” he asked me. I smile and shake my head. “Of course, you can” I tell him. He gets up and moves closer so he is snuggled into my side with his arm wrapped around my waist. I relax and soon we both fall sleep.
