Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 38
When we rounded the corner I couldn’t believe what I saw. Two children, one carrying a small teddy bear, and in footed dirty pj’s,
wandering out in the street. The other had on shorts and a slashed t-shirt, he was a few years older than the other it appeared. I
instantly shifted to my human form, showing them I mean them no harm. They stood frozen in fear at the group of Lycans behind
me. I gave my warriors a small signal to stand down and they took a few steps away. They gave me the space I needed to be
able to have a safe conversation with the children. We didn’t want to scare them off and not be able to get them the help they
very obviously needed.
“Hello little ones.” I spoke softly to them. “Are you hurt?” I asked them both. There was dried blood on their face and on their
clothes they wore. I honestky couldn’t tell by looking at them if their tattered clothing had their blood or someone else’s blood on
them. They both shook their head, but when they moved I could see wounds that were slowly healing. Being young children they
didn’t have the aggressive healing trait triggered yet.
“My brother is. My big brother is hurt. We, we, left him behind to get a bandaide. He can’t get up to walk so we left to find it for
him. He said he needed a big big bandaid. We can’t find him one though.” The older of the two told me.
“Your big brother? Can you take me to him, please? We have a medical staff and medical supplies to help him. I am positive we
have just what he needs.” I told them both. He nodded and turned around and began walking very carefully in the direction of
where I assume his older brother was located. “I can take you. I remember the way.” He said confidently.
“Who are you?” He looked over at me, his hand was tightly holding onto his younger siblings hand, afraid to let him go. I honestly
couldn’t blame him, he has been through the absolute worst.
“My name is Avalynn. I am the mate to King Everest.” I responded to him and he stopped walking, turning to get a better look at
me.
“So, you’re the Queen? Oh my Goddess Bryan. Look she is here to help us!” I felt excitement in his voice as he walked faster. I
could feel the hope growing in them both. We reached a broken house that had a large crack going through it and the roof was
also partially caved in. The front door was busted in and I could smell blood, lots of blood. We walked inside and looked around
the broken home.
“Bubba. We are back. The Queen is with us. She is here to help, help you!” He walked in calling out to his brother and I followed
him inside. As we approached a young teen, maybe fifteen or sixteen, he laid on the ground with a pool of blood surrounding
him. He had deep wounds all over his body, and something tied around his arm, coated in blood. I realized that his arm was

ripped from his body and my hands went to my mouth out of shock. I could not believe what I was actually seeing. The young
boys eyes landed to me and a small smile was on his face.
He struggled to breathe and I turned around screaming for the medical team to get in the home quickly. “We need the medical
team in here now! Hurry, we do not have time to waste!” I ordered them.
The medical team charged in and I took the hands of the younger siblings and passed them off to Amber. She stood at the door
opening smiling to them both and squatted to their level.
“This is Amber, she is my very good friend and she is super nice! She is going to make sure you get some food in you and some
water and whatever else you want you can have. We will make sure you both get cleaned up and then we will check you for any
wounds.” || smiled at them and they hugged me tightly.
“Thank you for rescuing us.” He said softly. “Is my brother going to be okay?”
I thought for a moment, searching for the right words that he could unserstand. I knew that I couldn’t lie to him and give him false
hope so the truth would have to do. “Our medical team will do absolutely everything in their power to save his life. They will work
very hard, I will make sure that they do everything they can.”
“He has to make it, he protected us. He hid us and even though he scratched us with a knife and told us to play dead so those
bad men would ignore us. You know what they did? They walked over our bodies as if they didn’t see us just like he said they
would.”
My eyes closed for a moment as I was trying not to cry for them. These three boys were so very brave and so very lucky to be
alive. Their brother was their hero with his fast thinking. I looked at them both again “I will tell them to do everything to save your

hero of a brother. Now do something for me, please? Eat and hydrate and try to rest, okay? I will have someone take you to the
Kingdom soon.”
“Yes ma’am we can do that Queen Avalynn.” They gave me another hug and walked away with Amber. I walked back inside after
I composed myself as the medical team were still attempting to stop his arm from bleeding. I looked at him and feared that he
wouldn’t make it.
The link of the medical staff drifted through my mind “Queen Avalynn, his outcome is not looking so great. He has lost a lot of
blood and is very, very pale. I fear he may not make it through the night. Although if he does make it through tonight, he has a
chance. It would be a slim chance but still a chance.”
“Please do not let him know any of this. We do not need him to stop fighting the good fight to live. He saved his younger brothers
lives, he is a hero to them, a hero to me.”I told her,
She went back to working quickly with her team as she tightened the tourniquet around the upper part of his severed arm.
Another staff member injected him with a needle I assume for the pain he was having. I sat next to him and pushed his hair back
away from his face and eyes and his head turned up to look at me.
He took a ragged breath before he spoke “Are you really the Queen?” I smiled “Not officially yet, but King Everest is my fated
mate.”
“That is close enough. You don’t need a fancy shmancy ceremony for that.” He coughed and took a gasp of air.
“You’re a hero, did you know that? Because of your quick thinking, you saved your little brothers lives. They are so very proud of
you. How old are you?” I told him and he smiled.
“Sixteen in two weeks.” He told me and he looked back at his arm that was gone. “Do you think if I find my fated mate that she
will reject me?” He looked back at me as his eyes filled with tears. Ahh yes, Wolves can begin searching for their mates at
sixteen.
“Let me tell you something, if she rejects you, she is an i***t. Who would reject someone who will be given a hero medal of honor
or sacrifice from the King and Queen?” His eyes widened as he looked at me.
“What? Me? A hero? I- I am not a hero. I just done what I felt is right.” He had tears streaming down his cheeks. “I couldn’t help
my parents, I watched the evil man kill them before he sent his men into the homes to kill all the children. I had to save my

brothers so I smashed our windows and I cut them where it wouldn’t kill them and smeared blood all over them I told them to not
say a word until they were long gone. Even when they caught me, they were quiet.” His voice cracked as he fought his
emotions.
“Well what you done to protect your siblings made you that awesome hero. You absolutely deserve this, but you need to stay
strong for me. Can you do that..?” | paused and realized I didn’t know his name.
“My name is Trevor, Queen Avalynn.”
— “Trevor, can you promise me that you will stay strong so you can go to your own
ceremony? You didbeverything in your power to protect those two. Absolutely outstanding. Your parents, though they are not
here are so very proud of you.” I pushed his hair back again and he nodded his head.
“I can do that for you, for my brothers.” He smiled though tears were streaming down his face.
“Good, now get some rest for me while they work on getting you fixed and transported to the nearest hospital. Good job
protecting them, I am very proud of you.” I watched as he closed his eyes but the monitor of his heart still beeped. The medicine
they gave him must have started to kick in as he was soon asleep. I stood up and let the staff work and do their best on him.
“Please if one of you would notify me of any changes. Also when you take him to the nearest hospital tell them the King and
Queen will be paying all medical expenses for him. I want him to have the very best care.” I told the lead medical team member
Brit.
“Yes of course Queen Avalynn. Also, the transport van will be here in about forty minutes or so.” She told me.

“Thank you Brit. Keep up the hard work. I need to go see what other help needs to be done out there.” I left them but before
walking out of the house I turned to look at the young boy and prayed he would make it.
I stepped out and saw my mate walking towards me. “Is he going to make it?” he asked.
I felt all of my emotions rush to the surface, I had to stay strong for him and tears threatened to spill down my cheeks. My voice
broke as I spoke, “I am not sure. I told him he would have to so he could get the King and Queens medal of honor and sacrifice.
He saved his younger siblings. How are they?” I looked around for them and saw them sitting on the tailgate of a random truck
eating.
“The boys? They’re fine, hungry, a few little scrapes and cuts but they’re fine.” He told me.
“Good. I am worried about their brother, Trevor. If he makes it through tonight then he has a slim chance of making it.” I sighed.
“He will make it. No doubt about it.” He wrapped me in a hug and the tears began flowing instantly and freely.
“I told them that we are paying for any financial needs they may have for him at the nearest hospital” I looked up to him and he
nodded his head.
“Let us walk and help look for any other survivors.” He took my hand and we walked all along the pack. It was complete
destruction everywhere you looked. As we walked I told him what Trevor done after he witnessed Dexter murdering his parents.
As we walked through the small wolf pack the windows were smashed, the vehicles set on fire, and big holes in the walls of
buildings. Death was everywhere we turned and everywhere we looked. The only survivors were the three brothers.
I sighed and felt so defeated after we walked the entire territory. I have never seen so -much evil before. This is insane. Dexter
has taken it too far. We need to catch him and end him. How does he think that this is acceptable? Why would anyone see this
as acceptable?
“I want to rip his throat out! Why all the innocent blood shed? Why hurt these babies?!” Charlotte howled in my mind.
Tears streamed down my face silently. I heard the sound of a vehicle approaching and we ran towards the noise. As we
approached the staff was bringing out Trevor on a cot. He was awake. I looked at Brit and she linked me “The van took longer
than anticipated.
Apparently there are downed power lines and trees from where they were coming from.”

I nodded to her and walked over to the cot and held my hand up for them to stop walking, “Remeber to stay strong for me, okay?
You got this. Your brothers are safe and will be heading to the Kingdom. Get some rest and I will see you in a few days to check
on you, okay?”
He smiled and nodded his head, “I’ll be strong. I want to visit the Kingdom for my medal.”
I pushed his hair back again away from his face and motioned for them to take him. Everest wrapped his arm around me and I
leaned my head against his shoulder. “He’s going to make it.” I said out loud.
“He has to make it.” I heard Everest Whisper to me. I stood in his arms as tears
streamed from down my cheeks. Damn it they just wouldn’t stop, but this left me feeling broken. It reminded me of the stories
that were told to me about my own family. No one deserves this.
Our warriors looked warn out as they all prepared to leave. We wouldn’t be going too far this evening, just far enough to reach a
clearing big enough for all of us to sleep. We preferred if it was on a hillside somewhere, that way we could see all around us. I
wrote in my little book to revisit and rebuild the pack once things settled down.
We all shifted and moved away from the broken little wolf town. We walked until the sun was gone and the moon was high in the
sky. We finally reached our destination and we slept in our Lycan form. It was safer that way. If we were to be attacked, we
wouldn’t have to take time to shift. Charolette cuddled right up and we were out pretty quickly. Our souls were tired and we
needed the small break from what our reality was today.
