When we returned, I had so much that I couldn’t imagine ever being able to wear all of it! Oliver seemed pleased, which made me happy. I didn’t want him or his family or his pack, for that matter, to think that I was after their money. Athena noticed my hesitancy while we were shopping, and she quickly made it clear to anyone and everyone who was listening that I hadn’t asked for this. All of this was a gift from Oliver, according to her.
“If anybody has a problem with our queen looking the part, they should take it up with the king.” Her words still rang through my thoughts. I was a queen. I was mated to a king! It all still felt so unreal, and I still had so many questions that I wanted to ask Oliver. I patiently waited until we were on our evening walk before I finally got the courage to ask.
“Do you still believe that you did the right thing? I mean, when you decl

OliverAnswering Helena’s questions was tough, but there was no way I was going to lie to her. If our relationship started with lies, it would be tough in the beginning, but it would get easier over time. I didn’t want lying to Helena to become easy. The meeting didn’t go as planned, but the omission wasn’t a lie, was it? I would tell her, eventually. I just didn’t have the heart to tell her now.The council was furious with me. All the people we lost in the war. All the families who had to live without their loved ones. All the resources we used for a war that I stopped halfway through. Not killing the wolves we had as prisoners was the last straw for them. I had to literally bit my tongue not to lose it completely. I didn’t want to lose Helena. I didn’t want to lose my crown, but I would give that up if it meant losing Helena! My parents supported me completely, but my council weren&rsq

HelenaI looked at Oliver and wondered, but something told me that although he trusted his people, he wasn’t going to share our vulnerability with them. Something was holding him back from doing that. I wasn’t sure if it was because he probably felt he always had to be a strong leader or if he just didn’t share. Maybe he only shared with his family.It was actually ridiculous. Why weren’t leaders ever allowed to be weak? If they were, they might not be the bastards some of them were. I thought of Liam and the way he grew up. If his parents weren’t such horrible people. If he had grown up in a place where love was freely given, things might have been different for us. For him.“Are you okay?” Oliver frowned beside me and I sighed deeply, nodding.“I was just thinking of Liam, and how different his life could have been.” I shrugged. It was still a

HelenaIt took time, but everything was arranged within a couple of days. I was feeling so excited and went looking for Oliver. He was in town with his father taking care of the yule lights that they were planning on putting up all over town. I had seen pictures of the lights in an album Athena showed me and I couldn’t wait to see them in all their glory. We didn’t have lights at the pack house, so this was something completely new to me. As I walked closer to a group of men, I realized I hadn’t found what I was looking for. The scene playing out in front of me wasn’t what I hoped for.“Say that again! I dare you!” Oliver was gripping a Lycan around his throat. The male looked furious as he glared at Oliver.“She is not one of us!” He growled at Oliver, and I was stunned that one of them stood up to Oliver like that. It took me a moment to realize that the she the male was referring to was me! We had been trying our best to involve as many of the staff at home with the arrangements. I

Helena“No lights? None at all?” Oliver looked sad and I shrugged.“Nope.” I walked on and they followed me.“Okay, wait. Did you celebrate yule?” Oliver frowned, and I wasn’t sure if I should tell them the rest. They might think even worse about the pack than they already did! On the other hand, I haven’t lied to Oliver once since I met him, so why start now? Liam was dead, so who knows? Things might change for the pack now.“Well, every yule, I worked in the kitchens to help prepare the meal for the ranked wolves.” A soft growl escaped from Oliver and I rolled my eyes. “To the Omegas, it was just another day on the calendar, really. We got up, took care of our chores and went to bed. The only difference was that there was more work to do. More to cook and far more to clean up afterward. We served the ranked wolves a special meal to thank them for taking care of us and protecting us all year. After the meal, the ranked wolves were given gifts by the alpha and luna to thank them for t

HelenaI didn’t feel right when I woke up. I felt weak and a little light-headed. I didn’t mention anything to Oliver, since I didn’t want to worry him unnecessarily. When I joined Oliver and his parents for breakfast, things felt different. Something in the air was different. It was almost … Lighter. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. I silently had breakfast while Oliver and his parents talked about the yule festival. It sounded so exciting.I just felt as though I shouldn’t get my hopes up too high. Our pack didn’t have lights. This pack did. Our pack didn’t give gifts to omegas and I had a shopping day planned with Athena to buy gifts for everybody. She made sure to tell me it included the omegas. It made me feel so much better to know. But still I didn’t want to get my hopes up.I couldn’t help but feel as if I caused most of the issues in Oliver’s pack at the moment. I felt guilty. I felt as if I didn’t deserve the kindness he and his parents were showing me. The servants were

OliverMy parents invited some of their old friends to join us in the hopes that if they gave us their support it would convince the last pack members to just accept the changes. Our guests arrive and by late evening the entire city is alive with celebration. Helena looks excited, and I feel so great to see her having fun. My people were just relaxing when the alarms sounded.I couldn’t believe the reports coming through our pack link! The werewolves, I thought, had returned home and were living their lives in peace … They were now rising up against me! All around us people were shifting. Some of the children screamed as their parents rushed them home. I noted the first wolf enter our city and I howled before shifting!“MOM! Take Helena with you! I don’t want one of us thinking she is the enemy!” I shouted through the pack link. Something told me that if I told Helena to go home, she wouldn’t listen. She seemed to get along well with my mother! I didn’t wait to see if Helena and my mo

Oliver“Why are you asking, son?” My father frowned. I sighed. It would be no use to try and explain. I knew deep down that I had killed the guy. I was sure of it. There was no way he could have been behind the attack. My warriors were out looking for any leads. They were trying to find traces of tracks where I last smelled her scent, but so far there wasn’t much news.“They must have come after your mate because of you, Oliver.” King Alaric sighed deeply. “I don’t want to dredge up the past in front of my mate, but that was how we lost our daughter. Someone had a grudge, and we never found her again. We don’t even know if she’s alive or dead.” I knew the story well. Everyone did.King Alaric and Queen Jacqui’s daughter were taken right out from under their noses. The kidnappers took her right from her crib at night. By the time the night nurse realized, the scent was growing cold, and they couldn’t find her again.Queen Jacqui was a werewolf like my Helena. The king and queen were my

OliverWe looked everywhere! I tore that bastard’s packhouse apart, but there was no sign of him or Helena anywhere. People were saying that my grief made me believe he was still alive. I killed him. He wasn’t there anymore, so he couldn’t possibly be behind this. The werewolves had declared war on us and I had to strengthen our borders. I have to think about my people right now.“Son, they took her for a reason. She is more valuable to them alive than dead.” My father patted my shoulder and I sighed deeply, nodding. The werewolves were coming for my people and protecting them had to be my priority. We were fighting werewolves on all sides of our borders, and I was beginning to wonder where the hell all of them came from.We were stronger and faster, but they outnumbered us four to one. That didn’t stop my people from fighting. It was either that or die. The war had come right to our doorstep, and it was what I originally tried to avoid. I should have killed all of them.

The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 112 - The end
THE LYCAN KINGDOM was never restored. Kings and queens were never appointed again, but there was peace. A world council was appointed to protect all the creatures, and they prepared for the day the humans would return.Supernatural creatures combined their powers and knowledge to better the world and soon everyone was flourishing. The creatures opted not to use their new-found technology to explore the heavens. They didn’t want to run into the creatures that nearly destroyed the earth. They had learned their lessons from the mistakes humans made and whenever greed showed its ugly head, they would quickly be shut down.The supernatural creatures had been given a second chance, and they were going to live their lives to the fullest this time. It was called the cleansing and whenever people referred to it, they spoke with huge respect for those who returned to live new lives. Elizabeth did return with Oliver happily by her side. They took jobs as teachers and had a second full life.Oliv
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 111 - The changing world.
ElizabethAs the world turned, the Lycan kingdom changed. The days of the great wars were forgotten. The days of peace and trade passed. What was once a great nation splintered into the world and the beautiful castle was left abandoned. The human world grew stronger and the supernatural had to hide from it to stay safe. Traditions were abandoned, so they could hide and the fact that these creatures were real was turned into a myth.The history of the great Lycan kingdom was turned into a legend. The amazing lives of Oliver and Helena were forgotten, and their history books turned to dust in an abandoned kingdom. Witches, dwarfs, pixies and fairies became the creatures that only existed in fairy tales. The age of man had arrived. The rhythm of life took over as the creatures had to hide deeper and deeper in the darkness.Thankfully, the wheel of life always turned, and these creatures found their way back. They grew stronger and fought wars to make a place for themselves in the world.

ElizabethOur children grew and with them our pack and also our little village. My projects that seemed huge when I started them now seemed small, and we had to expand our vegetable garden sooner than planned. We quickly became the second-largest trading post in our region. It wasn’t surprising when we got word that the werecats wanted to talk.A young new alpha had been appointed. She had taken over from her father and had very different views to him. I was pleasantly surprised to meet the young woman. She was strong and confident but not overbearing like most males in her position. She negotiated a very good trade deal between our pack and hers and people who used to be enemies quickly became good friends.It was a time for peace in our world. I knew war would come again someday, but for now we were all living in peace. We were trading and even started a student exchange. After visiting the witches, I really wanted my children to experience something similar when the time was right.
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 109 - A good life.
ElizabethSadly, I was very wrong. The werecats were planning war. They wanted our territory and nothing was going to stop them. Our son was born in the midst of all of it and I had a hard time convincing Oliver not to send me back home! He wanted me and our son to be safely tucked away in the castle while they fought the werecats! Who the hell did he think he was mated with?!As soon as my body allowed, I was right there by his side fighting for our people. The war didn’t last very long though. We won fairly quickly thanks to the Royal Army standing behind us. I didn’t realize how incredibly proud I was of myself and of our people until I stood on the porch of our new pack house looking out at our people.Everyone looked tired, and I could feel the sadness in the air. We haven’t just fought a war. We built our new pack house while fighting! Oliver wanted to keep the people busy who had to stay behind. He listened when I told him that life had to continue while we were off fighting fo

ElizabethI had always thought losing Jason was the worst thing I could have gone through, but as I sat there waiting to find out if Oliver had survived the attack, I realized that it wasn’t. If I lost Oliver, I wouldn’t survive. I would appear strong for the pack. I would carry on and raise our pup, but my heart would be broken forever and there would be no healing it this time. It was a scary thing to realize, but it was the truth.Oliver wasn’t just my mate. He was my best friend. The one I relied on. Literally, my other half. Losing him would be like losing my most important limb. I would be able to adjust and move on and live, but something would always be missing. My eyes shot up, and my brain froze the moment we heard someone touching the door handle.“Elizabeth, it’s me. It’s safe. You can come out.” Oliver’s voice caused a collective sigh of relief in the room and I rushed to open the door. Rushing into his arms as soon as I saw him. I breathed in his scent and he smelled of

ElizabethOur celebrations didn’t last long, as soon as Oliver realized that we were under threat. His face instantly turned from happy to worried and I sighed deeply. This was definitely going to affect my life in far worse ways than I had anticipated.“You can’t work on the gardens in your condition. What if we are attacked? How are you going to get to safety in time.” He was talking to me, but it looked more like he was talking to himself as he started to pace back and forth.“Oliver, seriously? I’m pregnant. I’m not an invalid. I’m not even showing yet, for goodness’s sake! I am not going to spend the next couple of months in bed hiding from the world. I won’t do it!” I glared at him. He stopped pacing and sighed deeply as he looked at me.“But you are carrying precious cargo …” He started and when he tried to put his hands on my hips, I pushed him away.“Yes, I am. Cargo that will require exercise and healthy food. Not to mention fresh air. If you want this baby to be born health
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 106 - Good news!
ElizabethMy family hadn’t prepared to stay very long, which meant that when the werecats didn’t attack two days later, they had to return to the castle. The men seemed to agree that the werecats were playing the long game. They somehow knew the royal family was visiting and either they weren’t ready to attack yet, or they perhaps didn’t want to take them on.It infuriated me to live in this kind of limbo. I hated trying to guess what my enemy was up to. I hated having enemies. If we had done something to them, I could understand, but we hadn’t. They were just being greedy. I sighed as we said goodbye to my family and watched them disappear into the forest. It was nice having them there, but life had to go on.We would all still be living in a constant state of wondering when we were going to be attacked. Oliver was convinced the werecats were trying to lull us into a false sense of security. He was sure they were going to attack as soon as they thought we had forgotten about them. Wh

ElizabethOliver and I decided we were going to split up because of this. He would stay behind and protect the pack since we were convinced the werecats would come for our prisoner. I was taking the prisoner to my brother. If the werecats thought they could attack the princess of the Lycan kingdom, they would have to think again! We didn’t waste time and within an hour I was ready to go. Oliver pulled me into his arms and kissed me before resting his forehead on mine.“I know you can protect yourself, but please, please be safe. I won’t survive if something happens to you. Keep your eyes and ears open and don’t, under any circumstances, untie the prisoner.” He sighed deeply and I nodded.“I won’t.” I kissed him before pulling out of his arms.“We will take good care of her, alpha.” My future gamma guard promised and I smiled. Their training had gone well so far, but they weren’t ready to protect me all on their own just yet. My royal guards still had to be there as well. As our group

ElizabethOliver and I didn’t go away on honeymoon since there was just too much to do, but it didn’t bother me. I loved being able to finally put my knowledge to the test. We built his parents' garden faster than anticipated and when the entire pack gathered to look at it, I felt pride in my work. In all of them. So many pitched in to plant flowers and grass that it all came together beautifully.Oliver’s mother had tears in her eyes when we revealed the finished product. She had told me a couple of weeks earlier that she saw the gardens at the castle when she was a little girl and had wanted something like that since she was a little girl. I was glad that we could give it to her. I even convinced my family to sponsor some of the flowers right out of the castle garden to round things off and give it that special look.All around the sides there were beautiful flowers with grass divided by walkways and a small fountain in the centre. Oliver built four benches that were placed around t
