The Lavender Lycan and Her King

Chapter 3 The King; My Mate part 1

Thesus's POV

This was the year that most of the packs had young wolves shifting for the first time and I always try to show up to the packs that have young shifters to show my support. As a king, it's my job to check in on my subjects. Today I was going to be present for the shift of the young ones at the Black Blood pack. They were a strong pack with many strong members, but they did not have integrity. I had heard that they abused their omegas without remorse. This was one of the packs that I didn't like and never enjoyed going to visit. Most packs have new shifters every 10 years and this was the year that they are shifting and I make it a point to try and be there. Sometimes I send my men, but my Lycan insisted that I needed to be at this shift in person.

I was already running behind due to my beta being dramatic about not wanting to make the trip. He just found his mate and didn't want to leave her side which I understand but I need my beta and gamma with me. We should be pulling up anytime now and my Lycan was restless in my head for some reason and I tried to calm him down. I told him to settle down and that I would let him out later and that seemed to keep him from going crazy. He never got like this and it was so bizarre.

"Sir we have arrived." My driver said.

"Thank you," I told him and my beta Drey opened the door for me, and I nodded to him in thanks.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"They are in the meadow preparing to shift," Drey told me and I sighed but made my way over there.

As I approached the field I could hear the whimpers of the wolf who was afraid. What reason would a she-wolf have to be afraid in her pack? As I smelled the air something didn't smell right with her. This girl was bleeding for one and two she didn't smell like the other werewolves. My Lycan was still pacing in my head but it had gotten worse since arriving at the field. That's when I saw her but she was cowering in fear from the Alpha's son James. He could be a real d**k and it was common knowledge too.

"Filthy mutt you can't even shift. Why the hell would I be okay with you being my mate? You will never be a Luna." He growled and his fist connected with her stomach, and I watched as she doubled over in pain and rage filled me for no reason.

"I, Future Alpha James, of the Black Blood pack reject you, Lunera Roderison as my mate and future Luna." He said in a harsh tone, and I see her blood run cold and the color drain from her face.

"Accept my rejection you filthy mutt." He snarled and yanked me up by her hair.

"I, Lunera Roderison, accept your rejection to be your mate and future Luna," she said, and he growled and threw her on the ground.

I could not tell what this girl was thinking, only that she seemed to be at peace. Then it hit me like a brick in the face, she was my mate. How I longed to find her and here she was in the last place that I expected. What was more shocking is she wasn't a werewolf, she was a Lycan. How had these fools not noticed the power difference? My Lycan, Drake, was howling with joy at finding our mate.

"Kill her." He said with a dismissive tone two guards grabbed her and my Lycan growled loudly at that. They dare try and harm my mate, my queen. They will die.

"You will keep your filthy hands off my mate or die." My voice growled loudly.

I looked at her beautiful form and wanted nothing more than to pull her close. She had beautiful silver her and Lavender eyes and I knew that I had seen her parents before but couldn't remember their names. One thing I did know she looked just like her mother only her mother had blue eyes. She got her eyes from her father. I would have to look in the archives to figure out their names, but I know that they were royals.

"My King we did not know that you had arrived," James said to me bowing but sending glares her way. How dare he look at my mate in that manner.

"Clearly or you would not have laid hands on my mate the way that you did," I growled approaching James.

"She was my mate. I was rejecting her, she is nothing more than a mutt that can't shift, my King." James said giving her yet another glare.

"A MUTT." I Snarled grabbing James by the neck. I wanted to kill this fool; he must not have a brain. Her wolf must have confused his scent with mine. Lycan's only ever have one mate, but then again, he could have been her werewolf mate, it happens, but it is rare. I think the only other person it happened to was her great grandmother and she stayed with both mates and changed the werewolf to Lycan. Either way, I am glad that he rejected her so I can kill him without worry.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you in any way." He pleaded to try to keep his life.

"She hasn't shifted because she is no common werewolf like the rest of you and if any of you had paid attention or had half a brain you would have known that she was a Lycan royal that has been missing for 16 years. I am assuming one of you killed her parents?" I snarled at him and I could feel her shock through the mate bond. She had no idea who she was, they never told her. Fools. The mate bond was already so strong.

"The current Alpha did my lord." My spy stepped forward and told me. She was trustworthy she was my twin sister, after all, I had a spy in every pack for this very reason. I wanted to know what happened to missing royals and now I know.

"Thank you, sister," I said and looked at my men.

"Kill the Alpha and his son. Leave everyone else unharmed. I will appoint a new Alpha at a later date." I said. Instead of waiting for my men to deal with this pathetic wolf, I snapped his neck and dropped him to the ground.

"My King," she said bowing.

"You do not need to call me to king my dear mate. I have waited 300 years for you to call me Fenrir dear." I said with a kind smile that was meant only for her.

"Oh, I'm Lunera Roderison," she said in a shy voice.

"We should get you to the pack doctor, you aren't looking too good. Can you hear your Lycan at all?" I asked.

"Yes, she told me that it wasn't time for me to shift yet," she told me.

"She would be correct. Lycan's don't shift till they are 21. They can also heal you anytime you need them even before you shift, all you have to do is ask her." I said holding out my hand for her to take and she was hesitant to take it.

"Her name is Sapphire. I have never asked her for anything. She always hated being called a werewolf." She told me. She was shy around me, but I mean her first mate attempted to kill her.

"Well, you are a Lycan and the smell of your blood proves that much, how these mutts never caught on I will never know. I believe that the Alpha knew and that is why he killed your parents and took you into his pack. The Alpha knowingly hated your father for refusing to make him a Lycan." I said to her. I had a suspension that they were using something to mask her scent and the only reason I realized that she was a Lycan was that she is my mate.

"So you are saying he kidnapped me, made me a slave, beat and whipped me all because he hated her family," she said to me and stared at me.

"Yes. Though it is rare for a werewolf to even survive the change, so it is forbidden to try and change them. We are above them and they know it so he is being punished for his crimes." I said to her.

"I see," she told and I could see that she was feeling dizzy.

"Are you all right?" I asked. As soon as I said that I could see her eyes grow hazy before she collapsed. I caught her in my arms with little effort and lifted her bridal style. The mutts that dared lay hands on her would pay with their lives, I would make sure of it. I looked over at my sister Adrina who had a look of concern on her face.

"Will she be alright?" Adrina asked.

"I believe so. Her Lycan is already healing her. She must have asked her to or her Lycan decided that her wounds were life-threatening" I said looking at my sister. She was a spitting image of me only her features were more feminine. Something seemed to be concerning her though.

"From what I understand the family that took her in was also beating her daily. The beatings may not have always been bad, but they did leave bruises." I growled.

"Have the whole family killed," I said to my gamma who nodded.

"Do you want the women in the family killed as well?" Jakard asked.

"Did they lay hands on her?" I asked.

"Yes, my king." He responded.

"Bring them to Adrina, it will be fairer for her to kill them," I said.

"Of course, my king." He bowed and left.

"So I get the pleasure of killing those fools. How dare they harm my brother's mate." She growled.

"Something else is bothering you, what is it?" I asked her.

"It is nothing brother." She said all to quickly.

"Now I know better than that, what is it?" I asked her.

"Please don't be angry, but she is my mate as well. That foolish boy was never her mate. The Lycan was mistaken." She said and looked away. I could feel her shame through the sibling bond. "I won't tell her."

"You have nothing to be ashamed of we knew this could be possible since we were born minutes apart." I said to her.

"She is yours brother. Maybe in time I will tell her when she is ready, but for now she needs to heal and I need to make myself scarce. I can only mask my scent for so long before her Lycan catches on." she said.

"It will be alright sister." I said.
