Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 19

Iran and ran until suddenly there was no trace of her scent. I threw my claws through a tree and it came

crashing down next to me, barely missing me. I felt someone trying to push through my link. As much

as I didn’t want to be bothered I let it through.

“What?!” I growled.

“Sarah is awake and Amber is awake.” It was Jameson and I could feel his relief.

“Good. I’ll be there shortly.” I responded.

“Avalynn?” I heard right as I closed off my link. I needed the silence to think, this was not looking good.

So many people panicking and trying to push through. I can’t do this. I felt myself drift back as my

Lycan pushed through further in a fit of rage. I watched as he slashed and tore through the forest and

killed any animal in his path. His thirst for blood not satisfied. I let him as I wept for my mate in the back

of our minds. Neither of us would be satisfied until the cause of our pain was dying by our hands.

When I finally pushed back through my Lycan felt broken and lost without his mate. I felt the same, my

other half was gone, vanished. I cleaned off in a stream and washed the blood away from my body. My

clothes were torn, but it was to be expected. I did just run through the forest in my Lycan form afteralt.

When I finallh reached the hospital I was met by a crowd of people. I pushed through and held my hand

up, my people making room for me to pass. My mother, surprisingly was already there waiting on me.

When our eyes met I could see the question hiding behind her eyes. I only shook my head no and I

heard a sad sigh come from her.

“Very well. Let’s get this started. We need to find her.” She motioned for me.

We walked through the hallway together until we reached Sarah’s room. Two guards standing post

outside her room. I nodded at them and walked past Sarah sat up in the bed and her eyes seemed to

light

up at the sight of me.

“Everest. You’re here.” She said breathlessly.

“I am. How are you feeling?” I questioned.

“I had a slight headache. But it’s better now. I’m sure it’s my Lycan healing” She smiled at me.

“Do you remember anything?”I looked at her.

She sat for a minute and I was watching her as she played with the sheets on her bed. Almost as if she

didn’t know how to answer.

“Yes I do.” She began “Well kind of, I guess. Not much, really.” She looked away and out to the window

of her room.

I frowned “Tell me what you do remember.”

“Well I was looking for your father and I remember passing someone briefly and their scent wasn’t

Lycan. I realized I have never seen him before and wanted a better look before I could turn to question

him

I guess I was struck?”

“Why were you looking for my father?”I moved to sit in the chair in the corner of the room. “To give him

my apologies over how I was behaving the last few days. I haven’t been fair to you or

your mate. I guess I just missed you and was jealous that another woman was now with my man.” She

looked down at her hands and sighed.

I stood and walked over to her. “I am sure he would have appreciated your apologies. I know I do, but I

was never yours.” I looked down to her and saw her hands ball into a fist. I struck a nerve. “Do you

know what he looked like? Do you remember?”

She slowly nodded her head and began describing the man she last saw. “He was tall, but not as tall

as you. He had a muscular build with a sun kissed look to his skin. Not super tan but not ghostly white

guess? He had brown hair and deep brown eyes. He had a strong jawline with a sharp nose. Oh and

he smelled like a forest.”

I raised my brows shocked at her response and nodded before leaving the room.

When I walked outside her room I shut her door. I linked the men standing there

“She doesn’t leave

and no one goes in unless it’s medical staff, myself, my mother, or Jameson. Understand? Mother will

you

please stay with her while we are gone. Let the doctors know that they MUST keep her here and not

release her. She is acting strange.”

“Of course dear. I thought it was odd she knew so much but hardly saw anything.” My mother

responded.

They guards both nodded to me. As I was on my way to speak with Jameson I was thinking how

something just didn’t feel right or sit with me correctly. For someone who only had a split second to see

her attacker and not remember much, she sure took in his physical features quickly. My mother noticed

it too and I am glad I wasn’t the o ly one who caught it. It was odd and my Lycan could sense there was

something more that she wasn’t telling and keeping from everyone. One thing that was puzzling me

was why put herself in harms way? She could have died by that blow to the head.

As I walked up to Amber’s hospital room, I could hear their hushed voices and Jameson attempting to

soothe his mate.

“Amber sweetheart you tried, you tried your best. You were taken by surprise and almost died. I am

sure that Everest does not blame you. You seen their face and we have already got their descriptions

down.”

I lightly knocked on the door and entered when told it was okay. When I walked in Amber began crying

and immediately apologizing to me between sobs. “Oh Everest! I tried so hard to follow her when I

heard her talking to someone outside. A male voice and when I sniffed the air I couldn’t catch a scent.”

She was speaking quickly, almost in a panic with tears streaming down her puffy face.

“Shh, shh it’s going to be okay.” I tried to tell her but she only shook her head. “Everest the two were

Lycans I could sense it but they had no scent to them. The way they moved and

fought shows that they had training and were strong. They shot both the guards I saw the one do it

before I blacked out. I tried getting to her, I really did. I am sorry.”

I nodded and looked over at Jameson and nodded to come out in the hallway. He agreed and we took

a silent walk, away from eavesdropping ears.

“Sarah gave me a description of who hit her. And it honestly sounded like Avalynns first mate. I am

going to make contact with her old pack and see if he can be accounted for. Do not let anyone speak to
