Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 33

I dreamed of a fight that was to come, a path that could be the direct result of our actions we were having to take. Blood was absolutely everywhere and seemed to cling to everything. My Lycans fur was drenched in blood, but I was unharmed. I wasn’t I’m any pai but I was alone. I looked around and bodies were ripped, shredded, and just laying all around me. Where was Everest?

I searched and walked through the gory field. The stench of death was already beginning to thicken as time seemed to tick away. I screamed his name and felt nothing, heard nothing in his response. Panic quickly rose in me as realization was setting in that something was seriously wrong.

“Avalynn.” A voice sounded so distant but still very calming and soothing. The panic! felt seemed to be drifting away. I turned to look all around to see where the voice was coming from.

“Avalynn..” The deep voiced called me again and suddenly it felt as if I was being ripped from this world and my eyes fluttered open.

“Good morning, my love.” He was looking at me a bit worried. “Are you okay? Did you have a bad dream?”

He was laying next to me, his face was so close, he was so close and I could feel his warmth from his body. His hand reached up and wiped a tear from my face. I frowned as realized I had been asleep, yet it felt so very real.

– My hand went up and I wiped another off my cheek. I pulled it away and looked at the moisture and back to Everest. “It was a bad dream, horrible really. I was at a battle ground where war had been shed. Blood, lots and lots of it, everywhere and on everything. I was drenched in it, as it coated every bit of my Lycan. So many lives lost, I couldn’t find you anywhere.” My eyes began watering again and he pulled me closer to him.

“Shhh. I will be by your side, always.” He kissed the top of my head. “Why don’t you take a hot shower and get ready. You might begin to feel better. When you finish getting ready, come on down and eat breakfast before you ladies leave for shopping.” He placed kisses all over my face and I smiled. He got up and I noticed he was dressed already. I must have been exhausted to not of felt him get out of bed or heard him getting ready.

I got up and stretched my muscles, a few popping sounds could be heard as my joints and bones moved. I watched Everest walk into the connected bathroom. I walked over to the coffee bar and poured a cup of coffee, fixing it the way I loved it, a generous amount of cream and a heaping amount of sugar. I heard the water running and I smiled as I took a sip of the hot beverage, hee was so good to me. I watched steam roll out of the bathroom as Everest opened the door. I bit my bottom lip as it seemed to move in slow motion. He was dressed in black dress pants and a soft blue button down. It was a snug fit and he looked incredibly delicious. He caught me watching him and gave me a wink. I grinned and took

another sip of the coffee, sitting it on the table and walking across the room. He kissed my forehead, “Enjoy your hot shower. I will see you in a bit.”

“See you in a bit.” I turned and closed the bathroom door. I enjoyed the shower and washed every bit of my body clean. I got out and dried myself off. I fixed my hair and applied light makeup. I walked out in my towel and saw clothes neatly folded on the bed and smiled.

“Hey girl, here are a few outfits for you. I had someone go pick them up as soon as we got in yesterday. See you soon! -Claire.”

I smiled and looked through the clothes. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

I picked out a black skirt with a soft green shirt. I put on the stockings and my heels and walked out of the door.

When I opened the door a man and woman who were wolves were standing outside my door guarding it. I didn’t even know they were there to be honest and they kind of startled me. They gave me their neck and I smiled at them “Good morning to you both.”

“Good morning.” They both responded in unison. They followed me down the stairs as I walked towards where everyone was, following the smell of breakfast. When I walked into the banquet hall i saw Everest talking to Josh, Michael, and Jameson. April was sitting and chatting with Clair and Amber. I approached and everyone smiled and I made myself a plate of food. We all ate and chatted about today’s events. April decided to tag along and help Claire with her dress for the ceremony. I studied April, who seemed to make a pretty good bounce back. — She locked eyes with me and I heard her thoughts, “Everest told me what you can do. /

am fine, you can stop worrying. Last night was the first time I have really slept since you were gone. Thank you for making sure the room was comfortable and accommodating. Knowing you are both safe has eased my worries.” She smiled at me and I smiled back and nodded to her.

Soon we were all off shopping the day away. We decided to pick out Claire’s dress first and she settled with a beautiful tight black dress that had a sparkle nude swirl going along he body. She went with red heels to go with it and she looked absolutely stunning. Next we all picked out our dress and I remembered Everest told me to pick something out that was sexy and elegant and fit for a Queen.

I looked at the dresses as I sat in the dressing room. I found emerald green dress that hugged every curve of my body. It had a long slit that hit right below my hip and showed off my right leg. It had a deep plunge in the front that went down to just above my navel. The sheer material in between the fabric had crystals scattered along it. The back dipped midway just under my shoulder blades, exposing half of my back. I picked out matching heels that had crystals along the sides and down the entire heel of the shoe.

This dress made me feel beautiful, strong, elegant, and powerful. I knew it was the one and didn’t need to try on any others. I sent it to be properly hung and steamed to knock out any wrinkles.

We all found the perfect dresses and paid for out items. We met the guys for a late lunch and discussed the details of the ceremony.

We went home and began setting up for the following night, giving direction to the staff on hand. When it was all said and done everything was perfect.

“Would you mind coming to the cells?” Everest link cut through.

I agreed and walked down to the basement cells. I walked into a holding room and saw Jameson sitting across the table from Alex

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“He is spilling his guts. He was working with Dexter, but did not know he was dangerous. Ryder talked him into it, right after my father was killed. He helped him hideout but he never told him why. When Alex left to come back Michael could smell his sons scent on him and casted him out as a traitor and a rouge.” He sighed and rubbed his face with his hands. “I can’t tell if he is being truthful or lying. If he is telling the truth he should have some punishment but he shouldn’t be casted out as a Rouge.”

“No, I don’t think he should be a Rouge if he is being truthful. He should, however, be made to do community service in the pack for a good amount of time.” I agreed with him, of he was telling the truth, and he seemed to be doing so, he should do community service and his movements be watched for however long my brother and mate sees fit. I frowned and looked around “Where is my brother anyway?”

“Him and Michael are getting their speeches together. They should be here any moment though.” He looked down at me. “How did today go? Did you find your perfect

dress for the event?” He took me by the hand and we walked out of the cells. — “I did. Would you like to see it?” I smiled.

“I am sure that it being on the hanger doesn’t do it justice as to what it looks like on you. I can wait until tomorrow evening.”

“Okay that is fine. Dinner should be ready soon.” We were at the top of the steps as he kissed me. My brother approached and him and Everest went back down to the cells to finish handling their business. I thought he wanted my help, but maybe not? He just seemed to miss me and wanted to lay out what he thought the most suitable actions

were.

I walked back out to join the girls in helping with decorations and they made a lot of progress. They set up the tables and chairs and were now putting the table cloths down, which only had a few more to go. The stage was set up and the only thing really missing was

flowers, plates, and silverware.

I walked and stood by Claire “Nervous?”

“I am. I don’t know if I am more nervous to be their Luna or more nervous that people are going to be depending on me now.” She slightly shrugged her shoulders.

“You’re going to make a fantastic Luna. Just think all those times you helped me, protected me, and saved me from the tormentors and bullies. You were made for this position. Your love and your compassion is what sets you apart from everyone else.” I told her.

“You really think so? I just don’t want to mess everything up.”

“Life is full of decisions and obstacles. We learn to do better and be better as we go along. You may make a few mistakes along the way but just know that those mistakes are how we grow and learn. If we didn’t make them, we couldn’t be better for the future.” I gave her a small hug and looked at her. “You are going to be fair, respectable, and the most understanding. You don’t have cruel intentions to be harmful or hurtful. That is why the Moon Goddess paired you with my brother. You helped him see his wrong and now look at you both.”

She nodded her head “You’re right Avalynn. When did you get so wise and all knowing?” She laughed.

“I have no idea, honestly. I just see the world differently now that I have Everest in my life.” I paused and smiled to myself. “After dinner though, you should get you some much needed rest. You and my brother. We can handle all of this.” I waved to the entire area.

“Are you sure? You don’t mind?” She looked around the room.

“I am one million percent certain.” I was now talking to everyone “Let us all take a break and prepare for dinner.”

We all left and got ready for dinner. We all met at a steakhouse in the pack territory. We ate and chatted throughout dinner sharing excitement about tomorrow’s event. When we came back Josh and Claire went off to bed while we helped finish setting everything up. I wanted to make sure that everything was absolutely perfect for my brother and Claire. They

deserved the best and I would see to it that they got the best.
