Heart of a Lycan: Love beyond boundaries.

HIS ASSIGNED MATE 1

The throne room was filled thick with heavy silence, not even Elordi or Leonard expected their alpha to give the Witch queen an option.

King Garius himself was shocked, so was the Queen, she was expecting a fight when Viktor stepped in looking like he would year the witches apart, but she felt slightly better, she only needed the Witch queen to stick to what they had discussed and very thing would be settled.

The witch queen herself was ready to fight him head on if he asked for a fight, no matter it would take, she knew she didn't stand a chance against the lycans but she would amount to atleast some victory points with the right spells but he since he was giving them an option she wasn't planning to throw it away, so she immediately resorted to her plan B.

If she was going to be sent back to the eastern coven she needed to have someone close to her at the palace and the fact that Viktor Travious had no mate and may never have one made it easier for her to voice her plan.

The witch queen stood up, she was draped in flowing black dress and adorned with crystal jewelry, she was an ancient witch who exuded so much power but she knew she needed more than her anger to stand up against Viktor Travious and a long ancient secret between her and Queen Rayna was holding her back.

She needed to think tactfully on what would benefit her people because they were greatly outnumbered, Viktor had put in so much effort in wiping them out of SilverWood and if they did not take what he was offering he was ready to wipe their existence of the surface of this earth, she personally knew she needed to go back to the eastern coven and strategize her plan, or else she would fail miserably against this lycans no matter what ancient spell she cast.

Viktor had summoned them here telling them he was planning to finish what he started but they did not expect his question.

“Answer me witch” Viktor roared in the throne room because the witch queen just stood there in her thoughts, he grew impatient because he had personal matters to take care of.

The witch queen walked to the center of the room, and looked at him with a smile, her emerald eyes gleamed with satisfaction, she was not going to let this chance pass but no one knew what she wanted or what was going through her head but Viktor had his suspicions.

“Would you accept our term, Supreme Alpha” The witch queen asked him in voice as smooth as silk while trying to maintain authority in her voice.

“Say it plainly, witch, I do not have all day” Viktor was trying hard to restrain the irritation in his voice.

The witch queen smirked, she felt this was her chance “Every single witch in SilverWood at this moment will return to the Eastern Coven as you wish, but you must accept an assigned witch mate”

Viktor knew it, the instant he asked her what it would take before they left SilverWood,he very well knew she would offer something stupid but an assigned mate was otherworldly insane for him.

He was hoping for his true mate and her this witch was playing with him.

“You will take an assigned mate,that I shall choose for you, only then will we return to the eastern coven without a fight” The witch queen added, she was trying to stand her ground even though she was a powerful ancient witch, she knew the amount of witches she had will not touch the tail of Viktor's wolf, but she was going to play her cards right for the sake of their future.

take a mate of my choosing, binding your fate to hers."

A growl rumbled deep within his chest, low and threatening. His wolf clawed at the surface,demanding to be released, His wolf was already pissed before he got her and this crazy woman was making him want to bloody his hands.

Every Lycan in SilverWood knew Viktor had spent centuries waiting for Selene, the Moon Goddess, to grant him his true mate, he had refused to take any woman, as he hoped and waited patiently upon the goddess, but this sly witch was taking matters out of proportion.

"You do not decide my fate," he growled, stepping forward a little, which made the witch queen stand her guard in case,

"Selene does."

The Witch Queen relaxed a little and merely tilted her head. "Does she?" she said with mirth laced in her voice "Because you have waited centuries, Supreme Alpha, and yet the goddess remains silent. Perhaps the mate she has chosen for you, might be the one I give you”

Victor bristled as he narrowed his golden eyes "And what if I refuse?"

"Then the witches remain in SilverWood," she said simply. "We will not return to the Eastern coven, and you will spill more blood of both the innocent and guilty and the anger of your dear Selene will come upon you with full force."

Victor exhaled slowly, he was furious at himself and his so-called father, King of SilverWood, he had put himself in a trap trying to avoid more blood shed, he set this trap himself. If he rejected her demand, he would be seen as an alpha who goes back on his word, a promise to lycans was sacred, His pack, his people, would be caught in the crossfire of magic and spells for him he knew what he could do but he need more warriors, the witches were few in numbers but the witch queen's spell was no joke especially to lycans without an alpha blood in them. He was not going to be childish,

Plus there was something this Witch Queen had on his mother as well as his father, he was sure of it,

He looked in the direction of his both parents, and then looked at his Beta and Gamma, Elordi's mate had just given birth.

They both stared back at him with surprise written all over their face, if someone had informed them before hand that the supreme Alpha would give the witches a choice, they would never believe but Viktor Travious felt he had shed too much blood of both the innocent and guilty from fighting off the vampires who always stood in his way to constantly trying to eliminate the existence of the witches in SilverWood, he was not in the mood for war today, that was why he gave the witches a choice but

There was too much at stake, if he took back his word.

"Do what you want witch queen but if I see even a little baby witch trespassing on the borders of SilverWood, I would personally eliminate it myself" Viktor said in a voice devoid of any emotions, he wanted to make sure the witch queen knew he was accepting her stupid witch at the expense of never getting a mate in his life time, he knew the witch queen had a plan up her sleeve with her request but he was Supreme Alpha Viktor Travious.

"No problem, Supreme Alpha" The witch Queen smirked at him.
