My Lost Lycan King Mate

I’m Sorry, Your Who…..?

(Raini’s P.O.V.)

We loaded into the Black SUV. I was still sniffling a little. “Baby,” I looked up

at Jake. After the Luna announcement and wedding you know you can come

back to them any time you want right?” I knew this already. I am just so

confused with everything going on with Jake. Are we mates, are we friends,

what are we? “Jake, baby,” I said to gage his reaction on me saying it. The

happiness in his eyes was brightly there, that was a good sign. It sounded

weird to say that, long awaited but weird. “I know, they will be at both and I

know that I will be able to see my family, I am just confused. First you were

saying you didn’t want a mate, then that this would ruin our friend ship, now

you’re acting so different. What do you want from me? What do you want for

us?” I played with my fingers, not wanting to look him in the eyes, while I

asked my questions. I heard Jake take a deep breath. This was it the moment

of truth, will he crush me or will it go the way I prayed it would. Instead of

talking to me spoke to his Beta. “Nick, I’m going to raise the glass, it is time I

had a conversation with Raini and come clean.” I heard him say. That didn’t

sound to reassuring. Now my nerves were on high alert. I watched as the

glass slowly rose up creating a soundproof wall between the front and back of

the large SUV. Just before it was all the way up, I heard Beta Nick. “Well Jake

nice knowing you. I have known her almost as long as you and she does not

like to be caught off guard.” Okay, what the hell was going on? Silence

streamed through the cab of the truck for several more minutes. Waiting for

him to break the silence I thought he was going to speak first only to find out

quickly that wasn’t the case. I was going to have to break the ice, “Well, Jake I

am waiting, why would Nick say good luck to you? What do you need to come

clean about? Tell me.” Jake took a deep breath and looked at me with fear

frilling his eyes. Well, here we go…..

(Jake’s P.O.V.)

Well, I have found my way up s**t creek without a popsicle stick. I didn’t know

how to start this conversation. “So…” “The thing is…” This wasn’t going well.

“Ok, listen,” I started. “I guess I will start with our mate bond.” I see hesitation

crossed on Raini’s face. “Its not what you think, I want you, I have always

wanted you. So, I didn’t really want to snub the mate bond. It was something

that me and my father decided to do since I was fifteen.” I told her while looking into her eyes. All I saw there was confusion. So, I continued. “You see

when I was fifteen, we had some visitors come to the pack. Dad thought it

was just a newer Alpha in the area seeking an alliance. But that’s not what it

was at all, they were telling my dad that they were in the area looking for a pup

that was lost years ago and he was the man to ask for help. The pup was the

next in line to the throne. They claimed to be the king and queen of the Lycan

kingdom down south. However, my dad knew in an instant that they were not

who they said they were. But in order to keep it under wraps, he played along

and agreed to help them find this pup. He invited them in and extracted

information, the man and woman had no idea dad was playing them. He

asked questions and they pair answered them. Their story was that there had

been a raid on the castle. The king and queen or themselves as they are trying

to claim to be, supposedly barely escaped with their lives and the lives of their

child. Some how in all the commotion they lost their son and were separated,

and when they went back to find him, he was nowhere to be found. They said

he was four at the time and must have wondered off as they were fleeing. Dad

asked for an age for then and about how old he would be now, a description,

and some other information to be better able to track the pup.” Pausing I

checked to see if she was still following or had any questions thus far. When

she said nothing, I continued. “Anyways, dad said they told him the pup was

four at the time and with this happening twenty years ago the pup would be

about twenty-four, he was black headed and his eyes were the color of an

onyx crystal. Once he had all the information he did as he would normally do

and take their contact information and told him to give him a few days to mull

it over to see if he wanted the job. He knew he wouldn’t have to however,

because as I said it was all a lie. After the people left, he waited until they were

fully off the property to talk to my mom about it. As I said my father knew they

were lying.” Pausing again I waited because I could see questions lurking in

her features. “H…Ho…How did he know they were lying, and what does this

have to do with our mate bond?” she asked me. I wasn’t sure I wanted to

continue but I made it this far. “Well, love that is because My dad was the

Lycan Kings Beta.” I said and waited for that to sink in.” I said and waited for

that to sink in. She gasped but didn’t utter a word. “My father and mother were

second in command. So they were both there when the raid happened. He

knew that for a fact that the real King and Queen in fact died that night. The

Beta held the Kings head in his lap as he lye dyeing beside his queen, while he

was slowly bleeding out. He asked a favor to his loyal Beta.
