Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 25
Avalynn POV
The ride was long and boring with lots of trees flying by quickly. Luckily for me, I had some great snacks. When we finally
reached the mountain range I began to get excited. I was just a few hours away from seeing my Mate. I couldn’t wait to see the
look on Dexter’s face when Everest showed up to rescue me and be my hero.
Charlotte was getting stronger by each passing moment. I could feel my strength, my body feeling more normal. Each passing
minute, hours even, we were getting closer to where we needed to be. It was almost like an explosive energy, I wanted to run,
train, or fight just to let it out.
When the car turned into a driveway I looked around. The house was indeed nestled between the mountains. The mountains
were beautiful, full and rich with life all around. As I inhaled the mountain air, it was crisp and fresh smelling. I heard the small
forest animals up in the woods.
When he got out he held up his hand for me to wait. “Wait here, for just a moment baby girl. I need to check things out first
before I allow you to go in.”
I nodded and sat back in the seat. I popped a few chips in my mouth and felt Charlotte push forward, looking outside through my
eyes. Luckily our eye color was almost the same, hers were just a bit brighter than mine. Still we had to be careful because they
could send out a weird glow.
“Where are we?” She asked curiously.
“The mountain cabin.”
“Why didn’t you get our with him?”
“He told me to stay here. He needed to check some things out. He may be making sure that it was safe enough for me to enter.
Or just pretending in the least.” I sighed and popped another chip in my mouth.
“I wonder how long it will be until Mate gets here?”
“Hopefully in a few hours. I stalled us as long as I could when we stopped. I am sure he was about to have a stroke with how
long took. I sure made him pay for all the snacks.” I opened up a granola bar and Charlotte laughed as I began munching on it. I

seemed to be more hungry now.
“Oh here he comes,” Charlotte retreated back in my mind and I gave him a welcoming smile as he
opened the door.
“Leave your things for now and come use the restroom we need to go get a few things.” He told me and i nodded.
got out and followed him to the house quietly. I looked around and saw the many faces of different wolves and Lycans that I
hadn’t seen before, a lot more.
We went into the home and I used the restroom and freshened up a bit. When I walked out I ran right
Into Dexter. I let out a yelp and jumped back. “Sorry. You just startled me.” I laughed softly.
He laughed and took my hand. When I pulled to free it his grip tightened. “I am sorry. Let’s go shall
we?”
“Okay.” He kept my hand uncomfortably tight in his and walked me to the SUV. His hand seemed to tighten the closer we got as
if he was afraid that I would run. I was confused as to why, we were only going to the store.
We got into the vehicle and I was now sitting up front. We stopped at a small gas station and he got out and started pumping
gas. “Do you mind of I go inside for a water? I left mine behind. I figured if we are stocking up, we are going to be awhile, and I
need to wash down those snacks.”
He looked inside and back at me and gave a small nod. Great a little space to think, I thought but as I got out of the car and
walking inside I realized he was already inside, causing me to roll my eyes. I picked out my water, he paid for it and we walked

back to the vehicle.
I took a drink out of it and sat it down. I realized I left something in the back. He just sat in the driver side next to me so instead of
bothering him, I decided to turn and reach myself. I sat back and pulled my hair up into a messy bun. When I finally took a drink
of some more of my water, it tasted like it had something mixed in with it.
As I looked over at Dexter I started feeling extremely tired rather quickly. He smiled at me and I knew he had done something. I
yawned and rested my head back against the seat. No matter how much I fought the sleep, soon I was out cold, fast asleep as
he drove us.
Everest POV
I didn’t realize exactly how far out this place actually was. It seemed as if we were never going to get there. Everything seemed
to look the same, I swear we passed that tree already.
“Stop worrying, we will beat them there. By at the least a half of a day or more. Besides we are almost there. Well, to the human
town at least. We are going to park on the other side of the human town in the opposite direction, shift and go where we need to
be.” Brent told everyone in the vehicle. I relayed the information to our Lycans and Wolves who were traveling with us.
Miranda seemed worried “What about Cassie and myself? We can’t shift and we definitely wouldn’t be able to keep up with you
both.” She had an excellent point and not I or Brent responded immediately. 1 was trying to figure out a way that would work for
them.
“We can have you carried. Or you can ride on a wolf.” I turned and was looking at her now. Her face
seemed as if she didn’t like the idea.
After a minute or so she finally spoke “I don’t mind riding a wolf but I don’t want Cassie around them.

I don’t trust them to not hurt her.”
I nodded and honestly I couldn’t blame her so I offered to take Cassie myself. “I will carry her, my Lycan will make sure that she
is well protected and no harm would come to her.”
Cassie seemed to like the idea as she squealed and clapped her hands “I get to go with a Lycan! Yay,
yay, yay!”Goddess bless this child, she has no clue the danger she could be in.
When we all parked and got out I followed Brent. I inhaled the air and could smell the fresh pine and
flowers that were growing. The town we drive through seemed like a small working town for the humans.
We passed several lumber trucks coming in and a massive lumber yard.
I unlocked my phone and looked at it, I barely had any service. This was surprising because I figured I
would of had none at all. Amber, Jameson, Claire, and Josh were walking over to us. I could feel their
nervous energy rolling off of them all.
Miranda walked over and asked a very important question that I didn’t even think of, Cassie’s safety.
“So when we get there and the time comes that we may have to fight him, what about Cassie? She can’t
protect herself if this starts going sideways. I don’t think Dexter will give up too easily.” She was right, he
wouldn’t

Claire raised her hand to get everyone’s attention who were talking outloud “I can take her and we
can run back to the human town. If things go wrong or something happens to you I swear that I will
protect her for the rest of my own life, until death.” She walked over and placed her hand on Miranda’s
shoulder and smiled. Miranda had a tears threatening to spill at that thought.
“Thank you Claire, Josh too. You don’t have to do that, but I appreciate it. Let us pray to the Goddess above that, that will never
be something that we have to worry about.” She smiled as Claire came over to
her and embraced her in a tight hug.
Brent broke up the sweet moment “We need to get moving. Stay close to me and do not let your guard down. Miranda can you
place an enchantment spell to keep our scents down?”
“Of course King Brent.” She responded and began chanting a spell a soon it was like a blanket was coating us, blocking our
scent. “This stays active for the next two or three hours. After that it will quickly begin fading away. We must move quickly. Once
we get there I will make a stronger spell around the grounds and forest to protect our people from being ambushed. Ready?”
She looked between Brent and myself. I nodded and began to shift, others following suite.
I walked over to Cassie and looked down at her. She raised her hands up and rushed over and buried
her face into my Lycans fur.
“Soft!” My Lycan looked at the small child and nudged her with his nose as he lifted her into the safety of our arms. She squealed
with excitement and whipped her head to Miranda. “Look look! I am so tall!” Cassie laughed. I let out a rumble as Cassie was
settled into my arms. I watched as Miranda climbed onto
the back of Josh. We let out growls to let all sides know it was time to move and we took off to our
destination.
It took us almost two hours to reach. We ran hard and nonstop. When we reached the forest home!
looked in my arms at Cassie. She was somehow fast asleep and I smiled. I can’t wait to have our own
children some day.

When we walked inside, it definitely didn’t match the outside. Everything was top of the line, updated, modern, and sleek. This
looked like it had been recently remodeled as the smell of fresh paint
still lingered in the air. I sat Cassie down on a nearby couch and Claire sat in front of her, sticking to her word.
Miranda walked over placed a small kiss on the child’s forehead and walked off, chanting her spells. It was different as her words
were more pronounced and more emotion seemed to be behind her. I walked to the porch and sat down in one of the chairs,
thinking. The thoughts of my father’s death creeping up on me and my mate being taken away soon consumed me. I was lost in
my own turmoil of emotions suddenly.
