Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 32

I watched as Everest exited the limo. The thoughts came flooding me instantly. “He’s alone!”

“She was nothing but a easy lay and a warm hole.” “Oh, I wish I was so lucky to be blessed by the Goddess as Avalynn was.”

The last comment made me smile. Someone in support of us, and not having something hateful to say. I waved my hands as I did earlier and it pushed the thoughts aside. He turned and his hand was in the door, waiting for me. I took it and let him help me out of the limousine. The eyes were on me and as I quickly glanced around. I could see shock and awe as everyone looked on. I kept my head high and put on a brave and tough face, not worrying about what they’re saying.

We were reunited with my brother and Claire as we walked to the Packhouse. Everyone seemed to move out of our way quickly and whispers were overheard as we past pack members. I let a small smile show as I remembered the last time I was here. I shifted and showed everyone our true self.

We went up to the conference room where Jameson and Amber joined us shortly after we got there. I tried to hide a yawn, it has been a very long day. Very long few weeks for that matter. Everest sat in front of

the previous Alpha, Michael.

“Let us just cut to the chase, Michael.” Everest began and I could tell he was holding back his anger, though you could see the storm brewing in his eyes. “Where is your son, Ryder?”

“What do you mean? He’s not here.. I don’t know where he is?” He seemed confused as Ileaned closer, trying to open his mind and search his thoughts. I had no clue what I was doing. I assume by

the way Amber was looking at me, I looked constipated. I picked at him until I felt a surge of energy push through a seemingly invisible barrier.

“What did Ryder do this time? Does the king think I helped my traitor of a son. I am innocent. I would never.. My son is.. well my son is a monster that i dont even recognize anymoren. I can’t risk everything because he went down the wrong path. That look in the Kings eyes. Oh Goddess please, please let him believe me. I dont know anything.”

I sat forward more and placed a hand on my Mates arm. “Would you mind, Michael, if you could leave us for a moment?” I smiled at him.

“Of course, take all the time you need.” He bowed and practically ran from the room. “What the? Why? He was going to crack.” Jameson frowned.

“No, he was innocent.” I stated flatly.

“He is?” Everest looked at me with interest. “You heard him?”

“Not only that but I figured how to get inside his mind and maneuver through his thoughts. He didn’t help his son. He’s innocent and terrified you’re going to kill him anyway to get even.”

“Wow.” Claire smiled at me. “How did you do that?” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I don’t know how I just did it and it was like an invisible wall collapsed and I felt everything he did

and could see, well hear his thoughts.” I shrugged.

“Well I thought you were going to throw up or something worse!” Amber let out a laugh and I laughed

with her.

“I was wondering why you were scooting away!” Jameson pouted. “Can’t even warn her mate of

something about to happen.”

“I was trying to hide behind you. You know, use you as a shield.” She grinned. “Hey! That’s not cool! Gross babe!” Jameson whined and laughed.

We all laughed together and I stood walking to the door and opened it to Michael who was leaning against the wall.

“Come on in Michael. Everything is going to be okay. You will be just fine.” I reassured him as he

followed behind me, moving to his seat.

He sat down and I walked over next to Everest and sat down next to him. I sighed and looked at my old Alpha. He was worried and I felt that his soul was breaking. “Michael.” I spoke his name softly and his

head lifted up to look at Everest and myself.

“Your son has shot the guards who were watching him, after a shift change, with a few silver bullets.

Someone slipped him a gun and we just needed to make sure that you were not involved in the matter. We

know that you aren’t and the obvious person who would help him would be Dexter and his men.” I gave

him a supportive smile and nodded in his direction.

He frowned and I could feel his roller coaster of emotion flowing through him. He was worried and scared for his son, rightfully so because when we find him he will have a quick trial and be sentenced to death, more than likely.

“H-how do you know I am innocent?” He looked around at everyone in the room.

“I can feel your emotions and read your thoughts. I can network through them and can tell if you’re lying or telling the truth.” My eyes were locked on him the entire time, never straying away from him. I gave him my full attention.

“You’re… you’re serious?” He stuttered through his words, obviously nervous.

“I am very serious.” My head tilted aside and I grinned, getting his thoughts drifting through my mind. “Before you say anything, the number you’re going to choose is twenty-three when you ask me what

number you’re thinking of out of one through ten.” I laughed some at his open mouthed shocked

expression.

“Wow. So you’re gifted then?” He asked me.

“I suppose I am.” I looked around the room. “Is that rare?” I asked whoever would answer me.

“Very rare. The Moon Goddess only bless pure hearts with gifts.” Everest said.

“Oh. Well anyway, let us discuss the ceremony, and security issues.”

Everest nodded “It needs to happen in two days. That way we have a full day to get it together and get

what we need and we can leave to go back home and handle business.”

Josh nodded “I would like the entire pack to know why Ryder will not be Alpha.” He looked at Michael and Everest. “I think it would be very beneficial for them to understand and that way no one will cater to him. Some still will, like his close friends, but it will be less if we let the pack understand.”

“Thats a good idea, I will tell them of the horrific crimes he has committed.” Michael said and sighed. “It won’t be easy to tell them but I will do it. It, I believe, would probably mean more coming from

me.”

“Absolutely then I will go over approval of this Alpha ceremony and all of the crossing the Ts and

as

dotting of the Is.” Everest said.

“Good that was easy and quick.” I smiled at the three of them.

“Now about security, I believe we need to interrogate every warrior that is on duty the night Ryder escaped and murdered the guards. Let me be in the room when it happens. I won’t say anything, just

sitting there going through their minds.”

Everest nodded “I definitely think that is a good idea. Jameson, will you be in the room as well? I think both of our presence in the room could help intimidate the weaker of our warriors. If they dont have anything to hide, it will be easy for Avalynn to figure out quickly who deceitful and being truthful.

Jameson nodded his head “Of course.”

A knock sounded on the door and we all looked over to it. Everest called to whoever was on the other side “Come in.”

“King Everest, your mother has just crossed into the pack territory.” She was thin young girl, maybe sixteen and in a uniform, a young omega. She curtsied and left the room.

We all stood and made our way outside to greet her. She arrived and she looked like she had been sick. Losing your mate does take a toll on your body I remembered. On another note she smiled at us. all.

She walked straight for me and opened her arms and embraced me. She had tears in her eyes as she

softly kissed my cheek.

“You are so strong. Always remember that. I am so happy you are alive and safe.” Her hands were on

my cheeks. I looked up at my mates mother and I could see how tired and stressed she really was.

“You are here and are safe with us at your side.” I stated and she smiled at me. She let me go and moved to Everest and I turned to the omegas, “If you would, please take her things to her suite and run a

hot shower for her along with a few drinks brought up to her room.”

I looked over to April and she smiled at me and I returned the smile to her.

Everest spoke to her “Mother please relax and rest easy.” He kissed her cheek and she walked away

with Amber. We walked back to the conference room.

As we approached I smelled a foul stench and Everests arm pulled up to stop me. We listened closely as shuffling of papers could be heard. I felt Everests uneasy feeling and pushed past it.

“It’s a Rouge, he is looking for information on what our plans are.” Ilinked Everest.

He shifted quietly and his Lycan gazed at me. He stood tall and I smiled at him. I felt Charlotte push to look at her mate and I gave her control and let us shift. They nuzzled one another before busting into

the room together. They were a force to be reckoned with as Charlotte blocked the exit and Connor dove across the table snapping his jaw on the Rouge.

He stilled and didn’t move, knowing it would be death if he did. He only whimpered from the pain and shifted back to my human form. “When he let’s go, shift into your human form.” He was looking at me.

He closed his eyes and nodded his head. Everest let go and the wolf immediately shifted to his human form.

I frowned and looked at him, I knew him. He was from this pack and we were the same age. He was one of the men who tormented me I’m school and Ryders friend. It made sense he was working for him now.

“Avalynn?” He looked at me confused and my eyes narrowed as he continued to talk “You’re a | lycan?”

“Yes, Alex I am. Why are you a rouge?” I questioned as Everest shifted back.

“You should ask Alpha Michael. He threw me out when he found out I helped Ryder after the attacks on the Kingdom. I didn’t know he was involved. I was stupid in trusting in him.” He looked at Everest and sighed “Stupidity clearly doesn’t mean I am free to break the laws. I am very sorry.” Everest walked over and linked me “Go find a guard to take him to the cells.” I left and found a few guards and they took him. As they left I commanded “Make sure he is fed, has a bath and gets clean clothes.”

They nodded and left with him. I turned to Everest and frowned “I am not sure how much information he has. I want to lend Jim a kind gesture and maybe he will tell us more.”

“Smart. We will see if it works. How do you know him?” He asked.

“Well he bullied me in school, probably regrets that decision now. But we need to handle him first thing in the morning. But for now, let’s clean this mess up and get some much deserved rest.”

“Sounds good to me, love.” He helped gather papers and handed them over to me. I straightened them and held them close to my body. We walked together to our room, hand in hand together. We kicked our shoes off and both collapsed on the bed. I laid there and sighed as my mind slowly drifted to sleep as Everest held me close to his chest.
