Mating the Lycan King

Chapter 8: A Luna’s Aura

Trev’s POV:

When we entered the house, Jorden took the lead and called the pack together. Watching her as she asked every person in the house, low ranks and preteens included.

She was making her way to the kitchen when one of the young pups was fussing in her mothers arms. She whispered something to the mother and swiftly took the child in her arms.

They share a few more words and I see Kaity, the mother of the pup, bow her head at Jorden and beeline out of there. Curiosity engulfs me, wondering what Jorden said to Kaity. I carefully watch my mate.

She swiftly lifts the baby pup and swings her to latch her onto her hip. She continues carrying one of the littles with her as she made her rounds through the dining area, kitchen, library, tv room. She is a sight to see. Everyone starts to file in, beta’s and omega’s sitting at the table along with some elders we reply on for wisdom.

Once she see Nathan and Cass enter, she returns to her rightful spot beside me. I sense her distraught feelings but she has something else just as strong moving her. I can’t pinpoint it but it doesn’t feel of negative energy.

“Good afternoon, everyone,” she begins in a sweet tone. I look up to her in awe as she starts the meeting she called.

“I know I’m new to the pack but if I am to be your queen, you should know what to expect from me. I also look forward to hearing your opinions and taking guidance from you all,” she looks down at me, her fingers rubbing circles on the pups skin she’s holding.

“You are doing so well, sweetheart.” I urge her on with genuine confidence. Blushing, she turns her attention back to her new pack, her eyes moving around to make sure everyone is paying attention.

“Before we go into pack matters, as I still have a lot to learn, I want to discuss the events from a little while ago,” turning she extends her hand to Nathan and Cassidy. Nathan take his new mates hand and leads her to the front of the room.

Instincts kick in and I stand tall beside Jorden, crossing my arms and puffing my chest. I bite back a growl when I feel Jor circles my bicep in one of her tiny hands.

“My Alpha, relax, this is how it’s meant to be.” She coos, sending comfort my way. I nod and drop my arms to circle her waist, pulling her closer so I can bury my head into her neck where I marked her last night. The child in her arms grabs my hair and tugs, causing me to chuckle into my mates neck.

Thoughts of her carrying our child fill my mind.

Jor’s POV:

Feeling Trevor wrap around me not only eases my nerves but send a calming effect to me.

“As you all know, I was introduced as Nate’s mate—“ A growl steals the attention. My eyes finding the owner of the interruption, I make my way over to her, leaving Trevor. He stuffs his hands in his pockets with a s**t eating grin plastered on his face.

“Cassidy,” I stare at her intently, “Do not challenge me. I am being more than kind,” my voice stays firm and even, “but if you want a challenge, I can give you one.” I focus my attention to Nate, who is looking between Cass and I, “Make sure you remind her of what went down with Melanie. I will not be so kind should this go to a challenge, Nate.” My attention solely on Cassidy now.

Although I’m focused on the two before, I gently bounce the pup on my hip.

Now, while I’m oozing confidence, the truth is she’s a f*****g Lycan and I’m a mere werewolf. As much as I would like to think I could take her, it would end with her on top.

“Jorden, I meant no disrespect,” Cass begins to explain, “I have looked for my mate for a long time and hearing you call him a nickname and mate…” she trails off not needing to explain anymore. Her eyes dropping to the floor but I notice her grip tightening on Nathan’s hand.

“That’s queen Jorden or Luna to you, Cassidy,” The pack is making noises of confusion and shock, causing me to redirect my attention to them. “As I was saying, I was introduced as one of the twins mates but late last night I met my

other mate, Trevor,” I look at him lovingly.

“Things have changed, as you all know,” referring to this morning, “That being said, Nathan has found his Lycan mate and I will remain mated to Trevor. I’m sure you have a lot of questions but for now, let me go over the few rules I have.” I move to sit down, Trev joins me and taking a hand in his after I pass the pup to Kaity who has returned.

“First, Trevor being the oldest of the two will be your Alpha. That does not negate the fact that Nate also has Alpha blood. You respect him, as you would Trevor. Is that understood?” I silence myself to hear a variety of “yes, ma’am” and “understood, my queen.” I nod and continue.

“With that being said, Nate will become Trevor’s beta. I’m aware we have a current beta, which he will remain beta. Look at as a team, as a beta-ship.”

I claps my hands together. Giving time for any objections, but I’m met with silence.

“As for Cassidy, we will welcome her with open arms. She is Nathan’s mate and no one will treat her as anything less. Secondly, Nathan and Cassidy, “ I direct my attention to them, “you can take one of the houses along the pack boarder until a team can make a second pack house.” My voice breaks slightly at the thought of not having Nate here but this is for the best, or so I tell myself.

“Understood,” Nate answers solemnly.

Nodding, “Lastly, I want to take some time to sit with the different ranks, warriors, doctors, teachers, everyone at some point. To be the queen you deserve, I need to understand how we operate. But we can start that next Monday. I’d like to take a few days to learn my mate,” I turn to look at Trevor who has a giant ass smile plastered on his face. I think he’s proud of me.

Looking about the room one more time, “Any objections or questions?” I ask but all that follows is silence. “Good, you may return to whatever I pulled you from. Thank you for your time and patience as I learn how to best lead beside your true Alpha,” I squeeze Trevor’s hand.

He stands and drapes his arm around my shoulders. “You heard your queen, back to business.”

Once everyone has filed out, leaving us and his twin, along side his new mate, Trev leans his forehead to mine.

“You were incredible, sweetheart. I felt the aura you radiated while you addressed the pack. So beautiful, so queen-like,” he oozes appreciation. Scarlet covers my cheeks at his loving statement.

“Enough, my alpha. Or you’ll have to appreciate me in other ways,” I tease flirtatiously.

In one swift move he scoops me up by my thighs, my legs wrapping around his waist with a squeal. “No need to repeat yourself, my Queen,” he mumbles against my neck between kisses.

I almost lost myself in the moment but I sharp pain rips through my stomach, “Ow!” I cry out.

Immediately my mate pulls away with scared eyes, Nathan is instantly beside us, his facial expression matching that of Trevor’s.

“What’s wrong, baby girl?” Trevor cups my face and watches me. Nate grabs my hand and nods in agreement with his brothers question, also wanting to know.

“I don’t know. Something sharp feels like it’s poking my insides,” I exhale a breath I didn’t know I was holding in.

“The bond,” both brothers state.

I look between the two in confusion. What do they mean?

“What?” I ask facing Trevor.

A growl erupts from his chest, his eyes flickering from green to black. “It could be you changing from my blood,” he states then darts daggers at Nate.

Nate just watches me carefully, “Or it could be our bond breaking.” His eyes filling with tears.

I take in my options, “Oh.” Is all I can come up with.

I pull free from both the guys and stand, Cassidy walks toward me with a bottle of water. “Here, my queen.” She offers kindly.

Taking it from her, I crack it open and take a sip. “Thank you, Cass,” I nod and turn to the stairs.
