Cora and her Lycan King

Chapter 2

Lancelot's Pov

******************************************

I was heading home after taking the time off to clear my head from my endless schedule which has become a part of me ever since my beloved Lily died.

I hate recounting that event and even barring such discussion within my pack. Although it has been seven years since the incident, it still hurts like it was yesterday.

I still miss her Lavenda fragrance mixed with sandalwood that is only meant for her. Her smile and her warmth were on my bed. She was my home and now her part of the bed is cold and will remain so.

I chose a bar far away from my home since my beta Micheal won't let me off unless I do so. I chose to do that with no entourage.

Keeping a low profile would be profitable for me because I will get to relate with my people and hear their sincere opinions about my rulership without using force, as well as extract information about Darkwood since they are known to be rebellious.

They have gone quiet since the incident and it is unlikely for them. Once a Rebel, always a rebel, not that I am bothered, but I would love to reduce the damage or avoid it using every possible means.

Micheal my beta seems engrossed in the arms of the brunette beauties we met at the bar, he doesn't seem like someone ready to head back to our semi-mansion here in Darkwood anytime soon, which is typical of him.

I got up from my seat, mind-linked him about my departure, and headed towards the woods partly to clear my head because I have zero interest in anyone or getting laid. Lilly was and will always be the love of my life.

Amid my thoughts, I perceived that Lavanda Fragrance mixed with Sandalwood and Lemon. If I wasn't a Lycan I would have missed its faint smell in the air but it was mixed with something else: tears.

Then I heard it, that distressed scream, from a weak voice on the verge of giving up and she had company. Before I could stop myself, I took off in that direction, letting my Wolf Luther take control.

I slashed through leaves and wood with his strong claws and, behold, I met three Wolves trying to force themselves on a human bruised from most of her body.

She is indeed a courageous one, I must confess.

I quickly tore off the first wolf that had his claws on her leg, unaware of my masked Aura, because he was engrossed in carrying out his plans.

While the remaining two bowed their heads in submission because my Aura was suffocating them.

Luther wanted to have them killed for laying a finger on the human we just met, but I had to take control because I knew he was a Warrior Wolf and could be very Ruthless.

Lily was the only one who could calm him apart from me, but ever since we lost her, he went Crazy and I can't blame him because I feel the same, but tonight I wasn't in the mood to take a life. I was more puzzled by humans.

She reminded me of my Lily. Why does she share her scent? And why is my wolf possessive of… wait, Luther, it can't be, Impossible!!.

Don't you feel the pull? My wolf responded,she is our mate, Mine.

How is this possible? It is unheard of for Lycans to have second mates. Moon goddess, what game are you playing?

My thoughts were cut short when I noticed her color was becoming dull. She must have lost a lot of blood. That's why she fainted.

I quickly mind-linked my beta with an update on the situation, picked her up, and carried her to my Mini Manson where I would be passing the night.

My beta, Michael, arrived before me with the pack doctor standing by. I know that look on his face but this isn't the time and he knows, that is why he didn't say anything relating to it.

I dropped her on the bed, while the pack doctor, who is skilled in both human and wolf treatment, requested a few things he would need from the Servants.

I just watched from a corner, I seemed quiet but restlessness was written all over me and Luther was making it difficult to calm down.

I could feel him peeking through my eyes and the last thing I needed was to scare the doctor and the people around me.

"What!!!" I heard the doctor exclaim, surprised, as he had just seen a wolf walking with his head instead of his legs.

What happened? What is the problem? I said, moving closer to him.

"Your Highness, there..there is no wound on her body"

"What do you mean by not being wounded? Then I saw it, the wounds were healed and only scars were left.

It was unbelievable for a human to have such abilities and rare for a wolf to heal this quickly. Only my son and I can do that. What is she? I can't feel her wolf and I am drawn to her.

I quickly asked the doctor to explain, but all he could say was" My expertise can not comprehend this, all she needs is to rest and be fed with a nutritious meal to replenish her blood, your Highness."

I decided to let him leave when he asked after giving his suggestions. I made up my mind to ask her when she woke up.

I had my female servant get her out of her bloody clothes, and clean her up while she slept.

I closed the windows to protect her from the cold weather. It wouldn't have been necessary if she was a wolf, but right now I am not even sure she is just a human.

I came out of her room to meet my beta at the door, waiting for me for clarity and further instructions, but instead, I dismissed him with a wave of my hand while walking towards the next room, which happened to be the second room on that floor.

I loved my space and had the room just in case Lily was mad at me one day and locked me out of our bedroom.

My beta bow in the understanding of unspoken words.

One thing was certain, I wouldn't be getting any sleep because my curiosity was making me restless and it was already a few hours until daybreak.

I just enjoyed the feeling of water on my skin while I tried to talk to Luther and tame him.

Take a fresh towel to dry up, and afterward, slip into clean shorts and lay on the bed, revisiting my day and replaying every event in my head, leaving out not even a little detail.

I extended my senses to scan my environment a few minutes later after reaching the same conclusion over and over again.

I heard the tick of the clock, and servants whispering about what they witnessed. I heard heartbeats and was able to fathom their innermost thoughts and desires.

Wait!! What is going on? Why can't I read her thoughts or her heartbeat like everyone else?
