During our drive we all dozed of. We got back to our senses when the car stopped.
“Here we go,” was the only thing I mentioned to get out before opening the doors.
“Woww,” Julia said when she got out first. I got out to see what she was “wowing” for and to my surprise I was stunned. A castle, a actual castle. I knew that the royal Lycan family would live in something fancy and nice, but I was not expecting this. It was beautiful. “You are a small group this year,” my father stated. “How big was the others?” I asked in shock for all the wolves I’m seeing. “Much bigger,” Beta Scott replied.
When the wolves sensed my father’s aura all eyes was on us and everyone started whispering. Which cause me to give a loud growl, causing wolves to shiver. Keep mind that I have never growled like that. “Calm down,” my father said while pointing at Julia and James. They were shivering as well. “Sorry, I did not mean for everyone to hear” I said softly.
Suddenly the air was filled with another dominating aura. The Lycan King and his Beta. Every wolf including Beta Scott, Julia and James lowered their heads in submission, except my father and I.
“Alpha Brown and Beta Scott. It’s nice to see you,” he said while greeting my father and his beta. My father bowed his head in respect. “My king it is nice to see you,” he said. As I was standing their I caught the King an his Beta getting a glimpse of me. I bowed my head in respect. “This must be your daughter. The rumours are true, she is just as lovely as her mother,” he commented.
“Thank you, your grace. I appreciate your kind words,” I replied. “Where is that fine son of your, your majesty. I would have loved to see him. I haven’t seen him in ages,” my father asked.
The King laughed. “He is out for the day. There was a rogues attack at one of neighbouring packs. He went to help and investigate,” he replied with black eyes. “They are becoming bold,” my father said.
The King still wanted to say something when a bell rang. “I guess it’s time for you guys to get going,” Beta Scott said. “Ah yes,” said the King while his Beta was calling someone to help. Then two omegas came to help us with our bags. We said our goodbyes and left. Just before I walked away my father gave me a kiss on my head and told me to be careful. I gave him a loving smile and left.
The two omegas showed us to our rooms. Normally it’s all wolves together in their rankings but they made an exception for my father. So our rooms were next to each other’s. When we got into our rooms Julia immediately came to my room. “Wow girl, where did that growl or should I say roar come from?” she asked. “I don’t know, I just didn’t like all the whispers,” I replied.
“I never heard you growl like that before,” she said. “And not to mention the Lycan Alpha King send shivers down my spine,” she added while making a weird face and I couldn’t help but laugh.
We talked a little more and when we were done it was so late we both fell asleep.
In the middle of the night I heard voices and woke up Julia. “Do you smell that?” Julia asked. “Yes,” I replied. But then the smell disappeared. “My wolf just went crazy for a second,” she said. “Mine too,” I replied.
“Let’s go back to sleep” I told Julia and she instantly fell asleep. “Hey, Amarah, what was that all about?” I asked her. “Don’t worry Lexy and I will let you know tomorrow. Now was not the time, for now, rest,” she said. Lexy was Julia’s wolf, meaning she and Amarah had a conversation and didn’t tell us what it was about.
Damon’s POV
We just fought off some rogues and found what they are after. Turns out they are looking for a girl. There leader said he didn’t want any trouble and that he only needed the girls help, but they don’t even know who the girl is for f**** sake.
I was so frustrated and just wanted to get home. When we arrived Luke and I immediately went to find my father to give him a update. Luke was going to be my future Beta and he was also my best friend. Once we got into the castle we were immediately hit with a intoxicated smell. It made our wolves go crazy.
“Do you smell that,” Luke asked. “Yes, it smells like..” but before I could identify the smell it disappeared and our wolves calmed done. “Lightning, what was that?” I asked my wolf. “I think I know but I’m not sure,” he said frustrated.
“We can find out in the morning. For now the King is waiting,” I said and we walked off.
