The Lavender Lycan and Her King

Chapter 5 : Lunera, My Mate Part 1

Lunera's POV

I woke up early that morning to find that king was setting by the bed that I was laying in. The pain in my back had lessened, meaning that my Lycan was healing me. I was still trying to wrap my head around being a Lycan, not a werewolf. I had spent my whole life believing that I was a werewolf, and now I have learned that I am a Lycan and the mate of the King. I don't want another mate, all a mate ever brought me was pain and suffering. I glanced at the King and could not help but admire him, red hair, blue eyes, a large muscular build, and he was at least 6.6. I was unsure of this man, King or not. Maybe if I reject him first I can spare myself the pain.

"Look I know that you are the King and I can get in trouble for doing this, but it is probably best if I do it first. I, Lunera Roderison...." I terrifying growl left him and I cowered.

"Don't you f*****g dare finish that sentence young lady. Why would you try to reject me?" He growled.

"You are a king, why would you want someone like me?" I asked.

"You are, and always will be my mate. I will not have another." He replied.

"I am a nobody. You shouldn't bother yourself with me." I said looking down at my hands.

"Have you already forgotten that you are a Lycan royal, and a powerful one at that?" He asked looking at me.

"No I have not, but I am an orphan with no family and no where to belong. Why would you want someone like that to be your Queen? I have nothing to offer you but myself!" I said looking at him sadly.

"Just having you is more than I could ever ask for, I don't need anything from you. I have waited so long to have you by side, and nothing will take you from me." He said to me.

"I am not worthy to be your Queen, I was raised as a mere slave. I know nothing of how royalty works." I said to him.

"That does not mater. We live forever so you learn with time, no one is perfect, my dear." Thesus said looking at me fondly.

"How is that you are so sure about me already?" I asked him.

"Because, dear one, the moon goddess is never wrong when she pairs Lycan's or werewolves and I you are everything that I could hope for in mate. I just wish I could let you see your parents. You look just like your mother, but you have your fathers eyes." He said with a smile.

"You knew my parents?" I asked in a shocked voice.

"Well of course I did. I was close friends with your father before he disappeared. No bodies were ever found so hope is still there that they are alive. I refuse to believe that some punk Werewolf Alpha was able to kill them." He replied.

"I wish that I had gotten to know them, could you tell me about them?" I asked.

"I will tell you anything you want to know, but first how are you feeling?" He asked.

"I am sore, but I think that I am mostly healed up." I replied and he looked at my back.

"I can confirm that most of the lashing have healed and there is no longer a bunch of scars marring your beautiful skin." He said.

"Please don't say such things. Can you tell me about my parents now?" I asked.

"I would like to get you back to my castle first, if that is alright with you?" He asked me.

"Yeah that is okay. You don't owe me anything." I said shyly and he tenderly gripped my chin and made me look at him and the action sent a tingling sensation throughout my body and he noticed and smirked at me.

"Little mate I will tell you anything your heart desires, once I have you safely in my home." He said looking into my eyes and I was sure that he was going to kiss me but he let go of my chin and kissed me on the forehead and I felt sparks where his lips touched.

"Thank you, but how far away do you live?" I asked him.

"It won't take long if that is what you are worried about dear one. There I will show you pictures of your family and tell you anything that you want to know. How does that sound?" He asked me, but I don't think that I have much of a choice here. Going somewhere new was scary, but so was staying here and anywhere had to be better than this awful pack.

"Yeah that sounds good. When do leave?" I asked him.

"We can leave now if you think that you are ready to travel." He replied.

"Yeah I am ready to travel, but shouldn't I pack my clothes?" I asked him.

"It's already been taken care of, not that you really had much." He said with a grunt.

"I am sorry." I mumbled.

"You have nothing to be sorry for, it's this pack that should be begging for forgiveness. You should have had more than what you had. You were provided the bare minimum, but don't you worry I will give you everything that your heart desires and more." he said with a grin.

"You don't need to get me anything. What have is just fine." I said looking at him.

"No mate of mine will go without. Can you stand?" He asked coming over to the bed.

"I think so." I said swinging my legs to the edge of the bed and getting out. I was a little wobbly but otherwise okay. He held onto my arms, sending tingles all over them, to keep me from falling and to make sure that I was steady.

"Adrina brought clothes while you were sleeping. I am going to go talk to my Beta while you get dressed. I won't be far so just say my name when you are ready and I will come get you, okay." He said looking at me.

"Okay." I said with a nod.

I waited for him to leave before changing into the outfit provided, which was the only dress that owned. It was a simple blue dress that was older than I was and looked like it belonged it the Little House on the Prairie tv show cast. I didn't mind though because the dress was comfortable and wasn't revealing, it kept men in the pack from trying to touch me. I tried to hurry and put on my shoes because I did not want to make the king wait any longer than had to. The last thing that I needed to do was make him mad at me. Once I was ready I said his aloud, thinking this was crazy. How could he hear me from so far away, he said he needed to get the car ready.

"I see that you are finally ready." He said entering the room.

"I am sorry, I did not mean to take to long." I apologized.

"You are fine dear mate. While I think that you look adorable in that outfit, we are going to have t buy you clothes that are more modern." He said with a a chuckle.

"Is my dress really that bad?" I asked him with a confused look on my face.

"It's not that the dress is bad my dear, it's just outdated. That is all." He said with a chuckle.

"I am glad that you find my outdated dress funny." I said with a pout and he grinned and stepped toward me. He gripped my chin and smirked at me.

"You could always take it off and walk around in your under garments, but then again I would have to kill anyone who saw you. I will have Adrina look around town at the shops for something else." He said and kissed my forehead again sending sparks all throughout. He loved touching me and I know that my face was red because he was chuckling again.

"The dress is fine until we get back to your home, I really don't want anything this pack has to offer." I said to him and he looked at me sadly.

"Alright then. I just want you to feel comfortable and be happy." He said to me.

"Honestly, just being free from this pack makes me happy. I wish I knew why the kept me hear and treated me like a slave. I never done anything to them." I said to Thesus.

"We may never know the answer to that since I killed the Alpha's son and his father is dead as well. Some of the other pack members may know, but they will be questioned later when I know that you are safe." He said to me.

"How do you know that any of the pack members will know?" I asked him looking a little confused.

"Because of the way that they have treated you. They must of known something." He said looking so sure of himself.

"I really do hope so. I want to know why they done it." I said.

"I know little one. Now come." He said warmly and held out his hand.

I took his hand without a second thought, whatever he had waiting for me had to be better than the torture I had suffered for years at the hands of these wolves. His hand was warm in mine and sent sparks throughout my body. It never took much from him it seemed to get a reaction from my body. The reactions that I was having scared me, but at the same time I enjoyed them. I felt safe with him even though I feared he would reject me later on, but I pushed those fears aside and for a change I let myself hope. I hoped that I could finally be happy and that I could finally be free of the pain that this life has caused me and just maybe my parents were alive out there somewhere. I know that Thesus said they were killed, but he did say that they never found bodies, so I let myself hope for the best. I smiled as I followed my Lycan King Mate out the door.
