Mated To The Lycan King
Chapter 114

I looked at the large black Lycan and thought to myself that this person was crazy. Do they not know who we are? They’re just asking for death. That’s when all four wolves attacked at once. I watched stunned, not knowing what to do. Do I fight? We were moving away from Everest. Where is she going?

“What are you doing? Our mate is in trouble!” I shouted at Charlotte.

“We can’t risk fighting. It’s too dangerous!” Charlotte whined in response.

“He needs our help. Go back!” I yelled. She ignored me, which only made me more angry.

I forced myself through, pushing her control to the side. I was now in control and we came to a stop. I turned back around and ran as fast as I could, smashing small trees and shrubbery along the way back. When I came back, I saw Everest struggling against the five of them. I let out a growl and lunged forward to help.

“No, don’t! Why did you come back? Run!” Everest pleaded with me.

My body collided with one of the wolves. My jaws snapped at his neck, missing hitting a shoulder. The crushing of bones could be heard as my teeth broke through the skin, clamping down on the wolf’s shoulder blade. My claws dug into the ribcage, pulling this one off of him. I slung him to the side, hitting a large oak tree. The weight of the wolf’s body caused the tree to snap like a twig.

When I turned to move to the next, I looked and Everest had his teeth sinking into the throat of another wolf. Just as I was about to move, a large, black, and furry hand enclosed over my wrist, stopping me. I turned my head and looked up into the bright red eyes that looked at me. It wasn’t a normal look, it was a cold icy look that seemed to penetrate into my soul. I shuddered as our eyes held their gaze at one another.

I was completely frozen, incapable of moving as I looked up at this Lycan who had a hold of me. There was something familiar yet so foreign at the same time. Their eyes softened as he leaned forward to me and inhaled deeply, taking in my scent.

Everest’s growl from behind was threatening and I heard the snap of yet another wolf’s neck. I yanked back as hard as I could but the Lycan’s claws dug so hard into my skin, it broke the barrier, causing a whimper to escape my lips. That whimper was just enough of a distraction for the unknown Lycan for Everest to jump at him. I fell to the ground, catching myself with my hands. I wasn’t down for long when I stood to rush over to help Everest, the unknown Lycan’s foot blasted me in the side of the face, sending me flying across the small clearing. An instant headache followed and I closed my eyes to try and regain my focus.

The sound of a hundred feet hitting the ground rang through the forest. They were too late though. Everest had everything back under control. I shifted back into my human form and stood up from the ground. My head was still throbbing as I looked at them. Everest had the other Lycan pinned under him. It looked like he had a grin on his face. He looked over at me and it caused a roar from Everest.

Three lycans rushed to Everest’s side to help contain the other lycan. Everest went through his shift and rushed to my side. His hands were resting on my cheeks.

“Are you okay?” He asked and moved one of his hands to rest upon my flat stomach.

“I am fine, the baby is fine.” I told him.

A growl was heard as the Lycan struggled with the other three men. Everest turned around to look at his men, who slammed him down into the ground. He let me go and walked over to the Lycan who was refusing to shift back to his human form.

“Shift!” Everest commanded him.

The Lycan was still and unmoving and was wearing a smirk. He still refused to shift! His eyes looked around the crowd of lycans and wolves standing around. He suddenly moved, quickly. The sudden movement caught the warriors off guard as they let go. The Lycan shifted into his human form in just a blink of an eye. Gasps were heard as the person’s identity was revealed.

My mouth was wide open. I couldn’t believe it! How was this possible? There was absolutely no way that something like this could be possible! It must have been the twins, or friends of the twins. That was the only reason that I could come up with. I looked across at the smile he was wearing. He looked like he was untouched, minus the dirt from today.

“How are you..?” I started to ask before he cut me off.

“Alive? Well, it is a long story. I will be more than willing to tell you how. If you set me free,” he said as he looked over at Everest.

“Not a chance.” Everest said through gritted teeth, moving to stand in front of me. It was like he was attempting to block his view of me.

“Aren’t you the least bit curious?” He taunted.

“Nah, I am sure I can figure it out on my own.” Everest spat.

“What about you, Avalynn? Don’t you want to know?” He leaned to the side, looking past Everest.

“No.” I lied. In fact, I was very curious about how he seemed to be alive and seemingly in excellent health. I know everyone who watched him die was curious as well. He looked the same but also very different.

“Well, that’s a shame because I was willing to tell you all about it.” He teased.

“Why don’t you just cut the s**t and tell us how you are alive?” Everest said through clenched teeth.

“Maybe after food? I am famished afterall. I have been shifted to my Lycan form for so long that I haven’t had a real meal.” He looked at Everest.

“You may eat in the cells. Chain him.” Everest ordered and soon we were making our way back to the Southern Kingdom.

How did they manage to do it? I frowned in my thoughts as we walked.
