The Lycan princess

chapter 3

Almost Eight hours later and we were soon going to be coming up to the Lycan territory. I’ve heard stories from my uncle about Lycan’s. About the land, the training, everything. I just couldn’t wait to meet my family. It has been way too long. 14 years too long.

I could feel how close we were to the territory. I could feel the land, wind, trees, everything almost as if I were one with them. The felling was indescribable. It felt better than the mate bond that I felt with Tommy. It felt like… Home.

That is the only way I could describe this felling. We drove right up to the gate and my uncle told the guard who we were. They must have been expecting us because he opened the gates for us right away.  As we drove in the guards at the gate bowed as we passed. Driving through there were trees on either side of us, and eventually after a few minutes the trees started to clear and I could start to see houses. A few more minutes passed and soon the car came to a stop in front of a huge castle. It was huge with nice white doors and so many windows. it looked like it could have been remodeled. It was just a regular castle. This looked like some luxury hotel but times a thousand. The front doors of the castle opened and out walked a lady and by her side was a man. They looked to be in their early thirties. I couldn’t believe how much I looked just like both of them. I was so shocked I just sat there looking at them from the car when suddenly they both looked right at me. I got out of the car and both my mom and dad ran to me and just wrapped me in their arms.

I couldn’t believe it after all these years I am finally home. We stood there hugging and crying while my parents just kept repeating “my baby is home”

“Look at you, you are so big. Where is your mate? Why isn’t he here?” she asked me looking everywhere waiting for someone to come out of the car while everyone just went silent.

I pulled back from my parents and quietly said “I got rejected”

“Oh, honey I am so sorry. What i***t would reject my beautiful girl” my mom said shaking her head while trying to hold back her tears.

Looking at my dad who yelled and scared us “I’ll kill him. Just tell me who it is and it is done”

I couldn’t help but laugh at my dad and so did everyone else. Once the laughter died down, I just looked at my dad “its ok dad. He wasn’t worth it any ways”

“Wait honey yesterday was your sixteenth birthday.  So, if he just rejected you then you must still be in a ton of pain.” My mom said looking at me concerned.

“yes, I am but I’ll be ok. And honestly It was more like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I am more tired than in pain. And besides he wasn’t fit to rule by my side.” I said looking at my mom who was looking at me with pity. I hated that look.

“That’s my girl. You’ll find someone worthy enough to rule next to you. The moon goddess will bless you again when the time is right” said my dad looking proud.

“Maybe one day. But for now, I would just like to learn everything about the pack and how things are run around here before I decide If I want someone and if they are even worthy of ruling by my side.” I said looking at both of my parents.

My mom and dad both had a reunion with my aunt and uncle and decided that they were going to hold a huge dinner/ball tonight for my return. I didn’t mind since it gave me the perfect opportunity to get to know the pack better.

My parents led us all inside the castle/pack house and started to show us around. They showed us the living room which was huge and a place for everyone to just hang around. Honestly it looked like a house could fit in it. The kitchen which was my dream kitchen with so many ovens and stoves and a huge refrigerator that lined one side of the kitchen wall. You could hardly tell it was there since it was built into the wall. And the island in the middle was huge and perfect for prepping and having so much space. The pantry was just as big as the fridge since it was needed to feed almost the entire pack.

There was a game room that held a huge television, a pool table, and other things. There are a total of one hundred rooms in the house. Some held pack members and most were for other alphas and betas from different packs while they visit.  My room was on the top floor which is the fifth floor where my betta and their family would be unless they wanted to get a house outside of the castle/pack house. All rooms were sound proof and each room had its own bathroom and a study area. So almost like a little apartment. My floor also held some other spare rooms as well which I didn’t mind because those were only for me and my betas or my future family.

As I entered my room the walls were white, the bed with off white sheets and pillow cases, with a thick brown blanket and brown nightstand on one side of the bed and a mini fridge on the other. On the opposite side of the bed there was a huge tv. And a huge walk-in closet. On the other side of the tv there was an office just as big as my room. It had a desk, a book shelf that lined half the wall, a couch and some chairs.  The bathroom was right next to my bed close to the window that was almost the entire wall and led to a balcony that over looked the forest and pack. It was perfect.  My parents really thought of everything.

Since it was a school day there weren’t many people around the pack house and those that were I was able to meet. Although we own the school since it was in the Lycan territory. It was easier to not get into so much trouble and risk of exposure.

After taking a long hot shower I decided to take a small nap after all the events that have happened in the last few days, I felt exhausted. It was around one when I woke up and noticed the house was starting to get more people and that was when my mother came in to my room to let me know that school let out early and that everyone can’t wait to meet me.

“Oh, also your siblings are on their way home” mom said to me.

“I have siblings?” I stared at my mom with my mouth hanging open.

“Hahaha” she laughed. She sounded like an angel. “yes dear. You have four younger siblings. Your brother Bryan who is two years younger than you. The twins who are ten. Jessica and Ian. And mason who is five. They are all on their way home now so you’ll get to meet them at the party tonight.”

“Okay sounds great. I can’t wait to meet them.”

It was around five when my mother sent people in to help me get ready. I wasn’t really used to people tending to me but I had to sit in my chair as they did my hair and makeup. When they were done, I was given a white long bag to and I went into my bathroom to change into the dress that my mother has picked out for me to wear.

I put on the dress that my mom had picked out for me to wear and I noticed she picked out a royal blue dress that has a deep v with spaghetti straps and a thigh high split with an open back. The dress was floor length and I had on a pair of nude heels along with a pearl bracelet, pearl earrings along with a pearl necklace.  My hair was in a half up and half down curls in waves all down my back that reached the middle of my back. If it was completely down it would reach to my lower back.

Knock knock knock... i opened my room door to find a boy who looked like my father. He was huge and taller than me. But I assumed he was my younger brother Bryan.

“Hi I’m Bryan, mom sent me up to escort you. Oh, and I’m also your brother in case my good looks from our dad didn’t clue you in” he said to me winking and clicking his tongue and I couldn’t help but laugh at him.

“Hey I am your older sister Andrea.” I said reaching out my hand to give him a hand shake.  Before I even had any time to react, he engulfed me in a huge bear hug. When he pulled back and looked at me, I stared at him not wanting to hit him since he doesn’t know that I really don’t like being touched. And the only reason why I let anyone hug me today was because they don’t know me yet and I didn’t want to scare off my family. He was looking at me confused as to why I was just standing there stiff and not hugging him back.

“Yeah, sorry but I don’t really like to be hugged.”  I apologized to him.  Not really sure  what I am supposed to say or do. I usually hit someone or shove them if they try to hug me. Honestly just ask my cousins.

“No worries sis. But I can’t guarantee that I wont hug you again in the future.” He said to me laughing while he held his arm out for me to take. I gladly took his arm as we started to walk towards the stairs. Once we reached the top of the stairs, I took a deep breath as my dad started to announce us.  Or more specifically… Me.
