The Lycan's Prey

Episode3:the fakeluna

Xanders POV

The car tires screeched as we arrived at Alpha Easton's mansion. The huge white gates opened up to grant us access into the beautiful and well kept mansion. A mini, beautiful garden path was seen at the sides of the mansion. Each path decorated with different beautiful flowers like dandelions, roses and many others. I'm a royal Lycan, and things like this didn't amuse me, but the fact that it was Alpha Easton's mansion was what left me in awe. Alpha Easton is known as one of the most richest, powerful and respected Alpha's, of course he is no where near a Royal Lycan King like myself but the other werewolf's admire and look up to him, even the rouges. Everyone knew him as a wealthy and powerful man, but the reputation he had didn't miss the the werewolves ears. Ever since his wife died, he would always bring different p********e- werewolf or not- to his mansion, he would always go clubbing and he would drink till he passes out in front of everyone, in addition to many other things. How do I know? Cause I'm exactly like him. Since my father died I've derived pleasure in drinking, smoking, clubbing and w*****g around. Alpha Easton's beta is the only thing keeping him alive other wise he would have been a feast to the rogues a long time ago.

My pack has been under pressure due to the constant meeting with the company's sponsors. I only work with sponsors who are werewolves, I have never trusted a human since what they did to my father.

The sponsors have been on my neck about getting a Luna. Without a powerful Luna by my side to ensure the safety of my pack, other pack Alpha's would use it as an opportunity to take my place as king. Don't get me wrong, I don't need a Luna, matter of fact I'm strong enough to protect my pack and all werewolves but these business men wouldn't let me. They threatened to pull out of the company if the issue at hand wasn't taken care of.

"Mr.Williams this isn't rational. Our company is one of the biggest and efficient ones compared to others. Pulling out isn't the best idea, it's going to affect not just me and my company, but you as well"

Mr.Williams was one of our best sponsors and I know if he pulls out the company wouldn't do so well so I tried my best in convincing him

"Xander, do you think I don't know I'll be affected by my decision? of course I know that. But I have no other choice, other Alpha's and worse, rogue leaders have eyes on your throne and goddess forbids they have their way and unalive you how will I get my percent from the company? you have no offspring to replace you when you pass. Sorry to say but trusting you with my money is a huge risk, I have no other choice but to pull out" Mr.William said and just like that, the other sponsors supported him like mindless zombies. They were about to walk out when I called their attention.

"Wait!. I'm getting engaged" I yelled in a voice filled with uncertainty yet it came out sounding authoritative

"To who?" Mr. Charz, another sponsor asked

"To the love of my life, and I'll do well to invite you all to our wedding which is holding in the next three months" I said.

I was obviously lying, but at the moment, I was willing to do and say whatever it takes to keep my company in one piece. It was my father's legacy after all and I can't let it crumble under my watch.

"We'll be expecting your invitation, and congratulations king Xander" Mr.Williams said with an impressed grin. They were all about to head out when Mr.Williams turned around to say

"But if we get to find out that this is all bullshit, King Xander." he took a deep breath before continuing "nothing will make me reconsider pulling out" He finished and I nodded slightly.

When I made sure that they had all left the building, I sent for my royal beta. Steve was my best and only friend, he always gives me the right advice in what to do as my royal beta. I knew I could confined in him when it came to matters like this.

"King Xander" Steve said as he walked into my enormous office

"Take a sit, Steve" I said as I gestured for him to sit on one of the chairs opposite my desk, my gaze not leaving the documents on my desk.

"What seems to be the problem King Xander?" Steve asked sincerel

"I need a mate" I said as I looked up from the documents on the desk in order to face him. He looked shocked, as if he had seen a ghost.

"A Luna to be precised" I continued, ignoring his facial expression.

"Have you found a mate yet?" He asked

"I wouldn't have called you hear if I found one, would I?" I asked with the same emotionless and calm look

"I'm sorry King Xander" Steve said with an apologetic look

"Do you have any woman in mind?" He continued

"That's where you come in" I said

Steve's POV

I was left in awe when the Royal Lycan King Xander, said he needed a mate. In all my years of knowing and working with him I had never thought he would utter such words. He's the promiscuous type, and hearing him say he needed a mate sounded strange to me.

"Do you have any woman in mind?" I asked.

Every woman would dream of being a Luna to the most powerful werewolf in the land. They had the impression that sleeping with him was the best way to make him fall for them, but that never happened. He never looked at any lady with love, only lust.
