Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 27
Everest POV
I walked around the front porch, pacing back and forth. One of our scouts, a strong wolf named Jackson from one of the stronger
wolf packs, infiltrated the group of Lycans and Rouge Wolves. He was relaying that they entered the human town that we passed
through hours ago. They were maybe two
hours out at the most.
He was easy to spot in a crowd with his unique black and grey fur that swirled together almost perfectly. He had a heart marking
on his back leg and it made him stand out and easy to spot when s**t hits the fan. I kept the link open with him, as he tried to
stay close to her. She looks fine and he can feel her Lycan is strong.
This made me happy, she hasn’t been harmed physically, that he can tell. Mentally is another story, won’t know until we were
back together. I swore to myself that I would make sure she was safe and better protected for the rest of her life.
I kicked myself every moment I spent without her, regretting that I wasn’t with her. I know that I had other duties to tend to and
meetings I had that day. Jameson reminded me constantly that I can’t be everywhere and that no matter what, we aren’t a match
for a bullet to the brain. Even if this were true, still blamed myself.
I continued to pace back and forth when Jameson walked out onto the porch. “You okay?” His hands slipped into his pockets as
he stood in front of the screen door.
“I’ll be okay when I lay eyes on her and she is safe in my arms.” I walked over to him and we walked out into the yard.
“How is Amber?”
“She is with Miranda and Claire talking strategies on what is going on.” He sat down on the steps. “We are going to get our
Queen back Everest and that little piece of crap is going to get what he deserves when this is all said and done. I can still see
that you’re blaming yourself. It is written all over your face.” He frowned over at me and shook his head.
“Yes, he will pay.” I sat next to him. “Does Amber still blame herself?”
“I think she does.” He sighed.

“I really wish she wouldn’t. She nearly died herself trying to protect her.” I looked out at the yard. “It is very hard to not blame
yourself when you look back and think of things you could have done better. I could of done better Jameson. I could of done
more. We knew she thought she saw someone and no one could catch a trail. We, my father and myself, marked it off as her
seeing things. Being somewhere new, then we moved rooms. He was there the entire time, watching, waiting, planning He had
help from the inside! I am going to rip her head off.” I growled and my fists slammed into the concrete. Probably a good
thing the porch wasn’t wood or else I would be giving them a new porcn.
Jamesons hand came and rested on my shoulder. “You had plans for the following day to add more guards around her. He
probably knew that and moved then. It is not your fault Everest. We will see her soon bud.” He patted my back hard and I stood
and inhaled deeply.
I turned walked down the stairs turned and looked at my long-time best friend. “Thanks for listening to me. Your talks always
make me feel much better.”
Jackson came through our open link “Your highness, we are moving now. On our way to your location estimated time is now hour
and a half. I am currently running next to the vehicle. She is in the front and Dexter is driving. I think she senses me, she spotted
me easily.”
“Stay close to her. Let me know when you are thirty minutes out or if you all stop.” demanded.
“Yes sir.” And it was silence again in my mind for a moment as I thought of Avalynn and how I will see
her soon.
“They are an hour and a half out everyone. Get to your positions and be on the lookout. Remember to

not harm Jackson he is in the group with his eyes on Avalynn.” / sent out a mind link. The mind link included Brent so he could
tell his warriors.
Amber, Claire, Miranda, and Cassie came out of the house. Miranda had tears threatening to spill over
as she hugged and kissed on Cassie. I listened in on their good byes.
“Listen to her and be on your best behavior. I have to do some work okay?” Miranda told Cassie. She responded and smiled at
her, “Okay. I behave. Then we get ice cream!” She clapped her little
hands.
“Yes and then we can get us some delicious ice cream.” She kissed her head.
I looked over to Josh and Claire as they said their goodbyes to one another. Soon Claire and Cassie were off together into the
forest going the opposite direction of the home. We all stood there in silence watching them leave and soon they were covered
by the foliage and out of sight.
“Should I send anyone with them?” Josh looked over to me and Jameson.
Jameson shrugged his shoulders out of instinct. He wasn’t comfortable answering amthat question. I knew what his answer
would of been. The same as what opinion I am about to give him. “If something happens to them you’ll never forgive yourself.
Send one or if you want, two even with her. We can spare a couple.” I told him honestly and his eyes clouded as he was linking
with someone and when they cleared
up he looked over at me.

“Thanks Everest, you’re right. I sent two of my warriors to trail her. They’ll catch up with her, especially since she’s having to
carry Cassie. I’ll see yall, I need to chase Miranda down to tell her too.” He was off, following in the direction she went.
Miranda quickly went to work, immediately setting up another protection spell, hiding and masking our scents. We moved to our
proper locations to wait for their arrival. I was high up in a large tree that was close to the house. I imagined this was a onlookers
tree where a warrior was on guard, You pulled open
the leaves and could see right down the drive to the road. I sat and watched, waiting ever so patiently for
her.
I could see the entire grounds from up here, soon Brent made his way up. “See anything yet?” He asked.
“No not yet, I am sure they’re getting closer. How is Miranda’s spells coming along?” I looked over at him as he leaned against
the a huge branch.
“She’s done with the protection spell around the house she’s halfway through with the scent barrier along the outside of the gate.
She’s a strong one, for sure.” He was watching her work. “Something strange
about her though.”
“What do you mean?” I raised my brow.
“I’m not sure. She keeps her own scent masked and hidden, it’s strange.” He shrugged his shoulders.
“Thats true. Smart on her part though. You never can tell who you can trust”
He nodded as his response and looked around the grounds once more. “My men will back your men fully. I can never apologize
enough for the actions of my brother. He took away your family.” His face was hard and cold. I realized he was also struggling
with loss too.
“He took away yours too, Brent. He tried to take you as well. Some family can be lost causes and can’t be helped.” I sighed.
Just then my mind link opened up and I heard Jackson cut through “We are twenty minutes out your highness! Get ready we are
coming in full speed I believe all two hundred of us!”

I relayed the message to Brent and we both linked our entire group of warriors. It surprised me that Dexter had that many wolves
and Lycans with him. Luckily for us we had about sixty-seven more than he did. I ordered my men to pull back and away from the
front post until after they all pass through and then come in from behind and the side while Brent ordered his men to come head
on and the other side. Our men together will be circle and trap his warriors. We watched the road intently and we could hear
them. before we saw them. The roar of the SUV coming down the road and the earth below seemed to shake with the stampede
of wolf and lycan footsteps.
When they were at the gates my men began to close in. Quietly creeping in around the wolves and lycan detail he was running. I
was surprised to see Dexter get out of the car to open the gate. He didn’t even trust his own men? Then I saw it, two rouges
were fighting amongst one another.
“Go. They’re distracted! Jackson while Dexter isn’t looking get Avalynn out of there, NOW! I am on my way down.”
I leaped from the tree, shifting midway down and landed on top of the wall next to Dexter. His head shot up to see what the
sound was and his eyes went wide and he instantly paled. I let out a deep and loud growl that seemed to vibrate the stone
beneath me.
“What the f**k! How the hell!?” Dexter shouted and began his shift, retreating back to the car, back
ards Avalynn. It was just a few seconds and Jackson wasn’t quick enough.
