The Lycan's True Mate

CHAPTER 2

GOOD LIFE

LORETTA’s POV

“My Alpha… we are so… sorry…please forgive us… please…” My aunty was trembling in fear, she laid flat on the floor to beg the Alpha Aiden who was practically fuming like I was his wife or family member.

The way he took my case seriously was unsettling and at the same time satisfactory, like I feared my aunty had marched into the Royal palace, and everyone in the green fire pack was allowed to come into the castle to eat and have fun.

The Lycan king is domineering, rumored to be wicked and feared by all but he never allows his people to lack anything, the side of the pack house is always filled to the brim. Although he placed me and Cynthia in his side of the mansion. That as well baffles me and when I asked Morgan she brushed it off.

My aunty was allowed to enter the estate after the screening at the entrance gate detected her to be a pack member but she froze at once when she saw me walk toward her with the Lycan king behind me.

“You are not ashamed of yourself? Do you still have the guts to come here? After bullying them to the point of wanting to sell your own sister’s daughter!… I will pardon you because they lived with you for years… but if you ever show your face or try anything to hurt them .. you know me right?” The Lycan king responded to her finally, his thick voice menacing, firm, and low

But my aunty got the message, I hid begging the Lycan king grinning from eye to ear, after my mate's death no one had ever stood up for me in front of my aunty. It felt so good, I heard Kimberly whisper to her mother to “do something” and I almost burst into laughter.

Knowing fully well that her mother dared not do anything or she would have her head on the floor, she’s in the presence of the most influential and wealthy Lycan king and her daughter is asking her to do something!

“You can go back to your room to rest, have sent some maid to bathe Cynthia and take her into the Royal Hospital for some test… she will be okay…” Alpha Aiden said to me after my aunt had left with all her comrades.

His voice became soft and filled with affection at once, I smiled shyly at my feet and shook my head, I couldn’t even look him in the face, he was treating us with so much love and it was becoming scary.

A few days into living in the castle I was already feeling like a princess. Although the Lycan king hadn't said anything about the obvious attraction between us, he didn’t hide his intention of wanting his c**k buried within my thigh in his eyes and voice.

“You should be careful of my brother Lorre… it’s not like it seems …I love you so much and I can’t bear to see you sad” Morgan had stated out of the blue one hot afternoon, we were both swimming in one of the large and well-designed swimming pools when she blurted the warning to me.

I swarmed to the shore at once and glared at her from where I stood in the water. She paused her swimming to stare back at me. I waited for her to state her reasons but she said nothing after that.

“Morgan … you should expatiate…. you cannot just throw such a bomb at me and keep mute!” I almost yelled at her in desperation and fear but she only shrugged and kept swimming.

I became disturbed and unsettled at once. Now I confirm that she knows about me and her brother's secret relationship even though we haven’t done any intimate thing together, aside from grabbing my butt a few days before, when I was going to see my sister in the Royal Hospital. No one was there aside from his guard and one of the Girls he placed to serve me.

Maybe the girl told Morgan but I wasn’t sure. The Lycan king isn’t hiding his lustful gaze from anyone. But it wasn’t too long before I realized why Morgan was warning Me.

I was in my apartment watching television when a well-dressed and beautiful woman burst into the place, yelling and screaming my name, without giving me any time to respond.

She yanked me from my room with my hair down to the main entrance of Alpha Aiden; Lycan king mansion, tugging wildly at my hair and beating me along the way. None of the Royal guards or security tried to stop her, they were all bowing in respect to her. Too scared to come close.

My wolf told me at once that she’s part of the royal family but I don’t know her, “so it’s true? Your cousin told me but I thought she was only trying to get me to reply to her stupid messages… you slut!!” She landed a hot slap on my cheek.

I didn’t understand what was going on, I looked around in shame as the guards, maids, and pack people stared at me with pity, while some glared at me with disdain and irritation. “What are you talking about… I’m not a slut” I replied, trying to guard my face as she motioned to hit me again.

I wonder what Kimberly told her to get her that upset,

“You had better stop that pretense, you are a husband snatcher… gold digger… smelly poor b***h!” She snarled at me, her anger rising at every minute.

“Look at my hand … you thief… I’m married to the Lycan king and our sixth anniversary was last month, your cousin told me how you’ve been sleeping with my man!” She shouted at me, displaying her Diamond ring in my teary face.

After that I didn't hear any more of her yelling and screams, all I knew was the heart-wrenching pain I felt in my chest, all her beating and pushing did nothing compared to the betrayal I felt in my heart.

All the while the Lycan king has been leading me on, sending beautiful and scented flowers to my room, buying me expensive gifts, and treating me like I’m so special, while he's been married all the time and he didn’t tell me.

“Natasha … Natasha!… what’s wrong with you… why are you acting like a mad woman… you just returned and all you can do is beat a fellow pack member!” I heard my best friend's voice from a distance.

She was right beside me, pulling me up from the floor where the angry and strange wife of the lycan king forced me to sit while she beat the hell out of me with her high heel.

I grunted under my breath in agony as Morgan's hand touched a fresh bruise inflicted from her brother’s wife's beating… “let’s go … I’m so sorry… one of the girls came to call me just now … so sorry Lorre… please…” Morgan pleaded with me, pulling me away quickly from the crowd and watchers.

“You should have told me … why did you give a hint and leave it like that, you know I wouldn’t even stay here if I knew your brother is married, he didn’t tell me and he kept giving me hints of wanting to be with me!” I scolded my best friend.

She sniffed in her nose and pulled me into her room

Before finally responding to me. “I can’t tell you… it’s a family secret and listen I’m not supporting him for not telling you, but … he kept the secret from several people….

“Only those living in the mansion know Natasha… yes they have been married for six years but she doesn’t live here, she must have flown in from London just for all these …, her life is in danger here from too many threats… my brother's enemies ..”

The whole story was beginning to give me a headache so I waved Morgan off, gesturing for her to stop… she in turn rushed into her bathroom to get warm water and a towel to help massage my body.

As I sat on her bed, I cursed myself for trusting in men, or thinking I could find happiness after my mate’s death, I should have known that I would be disappointed again, love or family isn't for me

“Morgan… it’s not your fault or your brothers’ … I..should have never dreamed of this … of living in peace and comfort and thinking I… I can belong to a man with such influence and status.
