CHAPTER ONE: ARRIVAL OF THE LYCAN
“Don’t listen to her Lincoln! She thinks she can lie to you after sleeping with another man, all because you are calm and quiet, who doesn’t want a peaceful and loving man… but my sister threw her chances away all because of fornicaton, a useless thing!” My twin sister squealed out at me, her veins popping all over her face and neck.
The whole situation was getting out of hand and it was happening too fast for my liking, I watched in terror as my twin sister flung her hand around my mate who was still scowling at me.
“You promised to save me from my family molestation and bullying, we were waiting for your fathers’ return, why will you marry my sister before my arrival? It was a mistake, at least listen to my side of the story” I faced my mate, trying to make him see reasons with me.
I know I sounded like a mad person. Insisting that I had mistakenly had a steamy s****l night with a stranger, the video of the unforgettable night was playing on my mothers’ phone. Knowing fully well that they had planned it and they weren’t denying it but my mate rage had blocked his sense of reasoning and he didn’t care.
“Lucy I reject you now and forever, I don’t want to ever see you anywhere close to me again!, you slut, get out of my house now before I hurt you” Alpha Lincoln yelled at me, I have never seen him that angry, he looked like a man ready to kill, shooking off my coiled hand around his legs.
“Don’t let her go Scot free, you have to punish her and let everyone know how she disappointed them and threw her responsibility away as a Luna! Punish her ''my mother advised my mate who immediately gestures for his Beta to drag me into the punishment room.
Crying and pleading at the top of my voice was useless now because my mate had left me in the mercy of my wicked mother and cruel sister, who were so happy to punish me. Meeting the stranger who took my virginity while I was drunk was about to get me killed.
“This is why you sent me to another far away country mother? You forced me out of college while my sister stayed back in school, made me work my ass off as a waitress while you took my earnings from me and spent lavishly… why? What about me!” The frustration was too much and I couldn’t bear the deep burn in my heart anymore. I didn’t know when I started screaming at my mother.
“Flog her!…. Harder, I want all her skin ripped off!” My mother ordered the two gigantic guards with whips in their hands, she didn’t reply to any of my sentimental questions as usual, all she was after was how to hurt me.
“After this punishment we will throw her into prison, it’s high time she understands that I’m Alpha Lincoln's wife now, you are just a loser Lucy, I stole him from you. What will you do?” Greta taunted me, I heard her faintly because I was over clouded with pains from the whipping.
Just then Alpha Lincoln rushed into the punishment room with a confused look on his face. I was about to open my mouth to talk to him, plead my case again, when I saw another ravishing handsome man sauntering briskly closely behind him, his eyes fixed on me with a deep scowl on his face.
“Hold the whips! How dare you touch her?” The stranger voice pierced into my shredded heart and I jerked my body up at once, with the bounce of little strength left in my body.
The voice sounded too familiar, the same with the man I slept with, how in the world? is he my boss! The one and only powerful Lycan king in the whole werewolf word!, most scary and fearful.
“What… what are you doing here sir? I told the manager that I would be traveling for some days, I’m so sorry sir” I stuttered trying to apologize for not coming to work but my wolf was warning me to close my mouth as I was saying gibberish.
The Lycan king wouldn’t have left his house in search of me, all because I didn’t go to work, he doesn’t give a damn about me, he doesn’t even know I exist, I was only trying to deny the fact that I had slept with my boss who is also the Lycan king.
But his voice was the same one murmuring seductively into my ears all through our steamy night together.
We had a one night stand! What’s so bad about that? Don’t you know who I am?” His voice thundered behind me and I froze immediately, my wolf asking me repeatedly why the scary Lycan king was in my pack, even after he confessed that we spent the night together.
I guess my wolf was as shocked and confused as I was and she’s still in denial like me.
It struck me hard, when I realised that he’s the stranger I shared an unforgettable and steamy romantic night with.
I thought it was just a random stranger! and not the most influential and wealthy man in the whole of the werewolves territory, the only Lycan king!.
“You are coming with me now! Let’s go!” His menacing thick and seductive voice crawled into my ears and bounced back into the air, I squirmed and veered away from his direction, the frown on my muddled and disoriented face was enough to spell it out to him even though I know no one had ever rejected the great Lycan king and live to tell the story.
“I will not be a mistress to you, it was a one time mistake!.., please just let me go, all of you… I’m tired” I bursted into tears while bowing my head and shivering due to the hard glare coming from the Lycan king and the bewildering look on my mate's face, his mouth was literally wide open.
He was wearing a mask when we had s*x together and I didn’t know I spent the night with him. From the look on my mother and sisters’ face they didn’t plan for me to meet with the Lycan king as well.
They spiked my drink, I almost smiled when I saw the obvious fear and anger oozing out from their faces but my predicament was getting worse as well.
“I cannot follow you…. You… sir, please let me go and I will stay away from all of your lives” I repeated looking over at my mate who had begun to understand what had happened, but it was too late already.
“Lucy didn’t seduce me or whatever you said she did, her drink was spiked and I thought she was my submissive because we planned to meet there in that room, get her out of that pole now, she’s coming with me” the Lycan king ordered my mate, ignoring me and my pleas.
“Sir…my king … uhmmmm.. Lycan king, I think we should discuss this appropriately and see if…" My mate stopped talking at once, I even heard him squirm in fright due to the cold and deadly look he got from the scary king, now he’s trying to keep me to himself. He knows he’s not as strong and influential as Lycan king ERICSON and he will only put himself in trouble if he persists.
Before I knew what was happening a young lady about my age pulled me toward the exit door with a warm smile on her lips, “it’s going to be okay, don’t resist and you can keep your head and life for now” she told me with a sweet smile.
But how will it ever be okay?, when the cold blooded and deadly king is forcefully taking me away after all my pleas, I don’t want to be his w***e or mistress, he’s married! What will I be doing in his life? Why does he want me so desperately?
