The Lycan Kings’ Fated Mate

Chapter Six

I was slightly conscious of my environment. I could feel the wind hitting my face, aware that whoever was carrying me was in motion and at a great speed. The air was cool yet I was hot and sweaty. I could feel my skin burning. I was slipping in and out of consciousness. I think I’ve got a fever. Sometimes I heard Donna‘s voice , but I couldn’t make out what she was saying. At one point, I felt fluid being forced down my throat. I was too weak, tired, emotionally drained. A vacuum had been created in my heart and I knew what that meant. I had lost both my parents. I was alone now, the sadness washed over me. I felt some cold liquid being poured on my hair, but I just couldn’t fight it. I wanted to raise a hand, to push whoever was doing goddess knew what on my hair, but my arms felt as heavy as lead. We finally stopped, I heard some more voices indicating more than one person, then a hand touching my forehead, for whatever reason I couldn’t make out, I didn’t know what to make of it as I slipped back into unconsciousness. Nightmares plagued my subconscious, darkness dragged me deeper down into a bottomless abyss. I felt lost, scared and lonely.

Slowly, I returned to reality,disoriented and confused, trying to make out my environment. Someone was pounding somewhere to my left. I could smell the fire burning a distance away, probably a fireplace, shifting a little I could feel the fur on which I lay. I opened my eyes, squinting at the brightness that burned my eyes. I look around, finding myself in a foreign environment. It look like a tent, and from my eye-vision, I could see that I was alone. Where was Donna, I thought, frightened. Just then the tent flap opened, and in came a woman with skin the color of mocha. She smiled.

“Oh, you are awake.”

“Where am I?” I asked, not bothering to respond to her. I winced.My tongue felt like sandpaper, so rough like it had not been in use for a while.

“You must be thirsty. Here drink this, it will help keep you hydrated.” She offered me a cup.

I slowly take the cup from her, my joints stiff from staying at a spot for a while. I looked into the cup, swirling the light brown liquid, not entirely confident about drinking anything from a stranger.

“Where’s Donna?” I asked, trying to stall from drinking the fluid.

“Don’t worry your little head about that old hag, she just stepped out, probably up to no good, but she will be back soon, said to tell you, now drink up no more stalling. That’s a portion I made to deal with the fever. In no time you will be fully recovered.”She informed me.

I nod my head and tipped the cup, forcing the content down my throat, it was difficult to swallow. There was no benefit to killing me anyway.

“Very good, now lay down so that you can regain your strength.”

And I did, suddenly feeling exhausted from all the movements. As soon as I laid down I was out like a light.

I spent three more days there with the healer whose name I got to know was Malika and I didn’t see Donna until the last day when she had come to pick me up. I thanked Malika and picked up my things, I matched out of the tent to meet Donna who was leaning on a tree by the tent with a bored look on her face. When she saw me approaching, a smile lit up her face.

“Nice to see you on your feet and not near death.”

I frown at her, looking around from where we are standing I ask, “Where are we donna?”

“We are in a pack to the north, the Siren pack”

“The Siren pack? Never heard of it”

“Oh it's a small and private pack. They not-so-friendly type. It's a pack that consists of only women, are ruled by women, was my pack.”

I turn to her, she had said the last part so quietly that a normal human wouldn’t have heard her. I scrutinized her face to know if she was serious, realizing that she was I asked, amazed,

“such packs do exist ?”

“Yes they do and you are about to meet the female alpha. They have been waiting for you and the female alpha isn’t big on patience.” She says, pushing off from the tree and heading towards a direction. I hurry and soon fall into step with her.

I noticed the stares as we made our way to the pack house. It was hostile, not that Donna noticed but if she did, she didn’t let it bother her.

I took the opportunity to look around, it seemed like a normal average pack and surprisingly true to Donna words, I didn’t see any male around not even as guards.

We got to a building that looked to be like the pack house. It stood out from every other structure in the vicinity. It was a stone castle but constructed with a feminine touch, not like those you find in other packs. We climbed the stair and made it to the huge door, pushing through, we step into the foyer and stood while we waited for someone to receive us.

Looking around, my breath hitched as I caught sight of my appearance in a mirror hung on the wall. My hair was now black but greasy, even my eyes was the normal color of brown. I gasped, “what happened?” Touching my hair.

“What?” She turned to me, then realizing what I was talking about, “oh I had to dye your hair and fix a contact lens, we wouldn’t want you attracting unnecessary attention now.”

“My hair looks so messy, uuurrgghhh!”

She chuckled.

“Well sorry my queen, I didn’t have the time to do a proper hairdo for you.”

I rolled my eyes. Just then a girl in a maid uniform walked towards our way. She stops just a few feet from us and bows. I arched an eyebrow, wondering what the courtesy was for. Her maid's uniform was so skimpy. The bra only covered her n*****s, why the skirt didn’t really cover much of her behind and the front.

“The Alpha will see you now, my Lord” she says.

I felt Donna tense up, my eyes widening in shock as I take in her words. I opened my mouth to speak but Donna beat me to it.

“I am no longer a member of this pack, so you can drop the title Lucia” she said sternly.

The maid Lucia bows again, apologizing.

“I’m sorry my L… eerrrmmm Donna, please follow me.”

She starts walking and we follow behind. We walk through a corridor to our left, passing two doors, one on each side, we arrive at a double door with some symbols on it. Lucia pushed open the door and gestured for us to enter.

We stepped in and my senses were immediately assaulted. Donna didn’t seem to be affected. The scene in front of me left my jaw hanging open. There were naked women of different sizes, eight in total. Three were a few feet from the person that seemed to be the Alpha, sucking each other’s faces out. A girl was kneeling in front, with her face buried in between the alpha’s thighs doing goddess knows what. One was standing to her right, a leg resting on the arm of her chair while her finger roamed the girl’s lady part. A girl on her left was bent over her chest, suckling on her chest like an infant. The remaining two were with a woman that I figured was the Luna, doing whatever. Different sounds seemed to be coming off of them. Sweat and some other smell mixed in with their scent assaulted my sense of smell. Feeling a hand on my head, I was turned around, so now I’m facing the door that we had just come through. Growling at Donna, I caught sight of Lucia who had an apologetic smile on her face.

“I see you have been following in your mother’s footsteps, charlotte, upholding her traditions, what a good little child you have always been, don't you have pack duties to attend to? You know like signing some deals or even training the youth,” I heard Donna say smugly.

A growl resonates followed by an angry

“I am so much more than you will ever be. Do not try to concern yourself with the affairs of a pack you abandoned. I am the alpha and you will act accordingly EX-MATE.”

"Ah here we go again," Donna mutters.

my eyes widen in shock as I process what the alpha had just said. Ex-Mate?!
