The Lycan King's Fugitive Mate Chapter Twenty one
VALERIAN'S POVHercules stared at him intently after his little speech in which during that period, everywhere was so quiet and tensed up you could cut the tension with a knife."Greetings Valerian of Red Sun Hill city." Hercules finally spoke up after a while, nodding to him in return, the action a vague movement and he waved to the table where the reminder of Valerian's team sat on one side and presumably the higher-ranking wolves of the Crescent pack on the other side. His voice was a deep rumble of sound and accented -I guess due to the British inflection from living in England- unlike most of the shifters I've met."Have a seat. Your people have been most helpful and I appreciate Red Sun Hill city's assistance on this matter."Hercules relaxed as well, and it was as if the lessening tension between the two alphas permitted everyone to breathe again. I could pick up murmurs of conversation as people began to talk softly. Jared took their bags and began piling them off to the side

VALERIAN’S POVWatching Hercules intently, I could sense his awe at my Second's extraordinary ability, but the Alpha quickly got himself under control.Mentally I felt a slight nudge from Hercules seeking permission to speak to me privately through the connection that Jared brokered.Relaxing my mental barriers from external access and I allowed him in."You should count yourself lucky for having such an extraordinary man on your team. If not that I could sense his unwavering loyalty to you, and I would challenge you for him. He is an asset, one I would love to have in my pack." I heard the private thought Hercules sent to me, and the truth under the slightly wry tone."If not for his deep love for you, I would not hesitate to take him from you."I internally scoffed at the audacity that Hercules had to say this to my face but I restrained myself from reacting outwardly. That he would take Jared from me because he regarded it as a tool to be used, a weapon...not a human being with fe

VALERIAN’S POVSophia leaped, halfway across the room before the door even hit the wall. I was in a blink of time behind her, leaping for the opposite corner. There was a large bed in the room, two thin and bloody bodies on it, and two shifters were on the other side, huddled in corners, guns in hand.I saw the male's fire, time slowed and the bright flash of a shotgun was aimed in my direction.I felt the silver shot graze my ribs but I ignored it, the pain negligible and I forgot about the minor injury as his clawed hands sank knuckle-deep into the man's torso and arms.My weight crushed the male under him, squishing him in the corner, the gun dropped to the floor as the man's arms broke.Valerian lifted the man and rotated on my heels, throwing the semi-naked man towards the door, the space there clear of any furniture. The man hit the wall hard, and lay limply, alive but badly injured. I sniffed at him scornfully and turned my head in time to see Sophia pinning her target to the

ELENA’S POVThe nightmares were getting worse. It was coming back to back every night now, I barely got any sleep anymore because I was afraid one more nightmare would come that fateful night.I got a reprieve a week after that horrible message from Zayn but since then every time I shut my eyes I'm plunged back into the world I tried to escape from Gosh, I was pathetic, I stood waiting in the living room mindlessly flicking through anything I could get my hands on while waiting for time to go by.Ever since I'd spoken to Jared about seeing Valerian, I hadn't seen either of them.For a while, I kept making excuses that he was busy, then I got worried, and now my worry has turned into anger.How dare he leave me here with no means to reach him? What sort of man does that?Then that little monster at the corner of my brain would taunt me...Do you think Valerian's better than Zayn because he saved you?Do you even think he likes you? Weak, pathetic you?I mean even if that gorgeous wom

VALERIAN'S POV"Sir, we have seven of the Crescent pack wolves. Others are still missing. Also, no signs of the people in charge." Valerian spoke to his father, the webcam image spotty enough to grant me some buffer between myself and what I was certain was a look of extreme displeasure on his father's face. The ultra-fast netbook was placed precariously on the center console of the SUV, and I tried holding it in place with one hand while placing the other on the wheel, watching over the screen as the Crescent pack picked over the scene."I told you to hold off until we had confirmation of who was in charge, Valerian." His father was seriously displeased, no getting around it. I tried to look contrite even though I wasn't feeling it but my energy was depleted and I was in no mood to get into another fight with him. I hoped the fuzzy signal was enough to mask his grimace as I would never admit that he had no intention of waiting once I got here and we were able to get the location of w

ELENA'S POV FUCK. I was in deep shit, and who told me to leave the mansion. I placed my hands out in an 'I mean you no harm' way."Look, I'm sorry for chasing you. You can have the paper, okay?" I said to the boy I chased, it seems he's their leader or so.I got no response from anyone instead they began to move toward me. My fists tightened as the boys shuffled closer, trying to cage me in. I spun, shooting my right leg out but the second boy caught my feet in his hand and twisted, using the force to throw me against the wall. Pain blossomed in my lower back where it'd connected with the wall. The boy who had taken the paper took something from another boy and began to walk closer. Shit.I scrambled back, trying to move away from him as fast as I could.In the fading evening light, I could see the glint of a knife in the boy's hand. He grabbed my leg as I was trying to move to the other side of the alley away from them, his grip was really strong, especially for a boy his age. My gu

VALERIAN'S POVStanding outside, I placed my hand on the railing looking out at the night sky. I wanted to let out a roar to let out my frustrations but I also didn't want to cause any commotion and worry my team members. Still no leads.I was trying to calm myself while waiting for everyone to pack up and get ready to move.I felt frustrated and tired, being up for over twenty-four hours will do that to you.I felt like going for a run, out in the wild with my wolf roaming free. Free from responsibilities and to just be."Sir, we're ready. Time to go." Sophia came up behind him, startling him. Damn.I didn't even hear her come up, he was losing focus, and out here, that will get you killed."Where's Alpha Hercules?" I asked her quietly."I'm not sure but last I heard, he and his team were getting ready to leave too." "Okay."Since the little incident, I haven't been able to talk to him or apologize for what I did, seeing as he's been avoiding me like the plague.Even if we'll never

ELENA'S POV On hearing that shocking piece of news, I choked. Unfortunately, when Sam had spoken, I had chosen that moment to take a spoonful of soup from the bowl Lorna had prepared for me- she had said it'll help mend back together as soon as possible -The soup went down the wrong way, and my fragile body was racked with coughs which in turn led to me choking.Lorna quickly shuffled over to my side, patting my back and giving me something else to drink. After a while, my breathing came back to normal. Wiping the tears that has fallen during that whole drama, I leaned back against the pillow to gather myself.I heard a whack and thump and I raised my head to see Lorna berating Sam for passing his message without any tact. If I wasn't trying to recover from my mini near-choking experience, I would have laughed at the image they'd created- a big man like Sam afraid of a tiny little woman like Miss Lorna scolding him."I said I'm a sorry woman. What are you whacking me for, again?" Sa

Ethan's POV I jerked awake out of the darkness with a deep gasp, clutching my heart which felt like it was going to jump right out of my chest.I felt my chest knit itself back slowly in my chest, and I felt the faint sharp cut still worrying me."What do you remember? Can you hear me?" Someone asked, leaning and blocking the light, which upset me. And of the three men, one guy came close being brave to check on me.I remember his cute, innocent eyes peering at me...I loved when those same eyes were bleeding with fear.I tried to raise my other hand only for the hand to stubbornly refuse my command, the other hand however have graduated enough to learn movement.Before even the next morning, I had already learned about the major languages in the country and can strangely pronounce them.My body and joints felt very awkward like they weren't mine and it took some getting used to.I moved forward, my muscles grinding against my bone, creating a very unpleasant experience.I wanted to s

Valerian's POV Ethan was so caught up in what he was doing that he didn't hear me coming in time and only turned back at the last minute.I rushed towards his knees, tackling him to the floor.I raised my fists and brought them down on his nose, breaking it with a sick crack.I lunged again but he dodged, rolling to the side and I lost my balance."Why. Won't. You. Fucking. Die?" He banged my head against the floor harder with each word he uttered as he tightened his hand on my head.I reach out to hit him but He rolls and leaps to his feet kicking me in my stomach. I curl into a ball as fresh pain blooms in my stomach as the kick reopened the wound. He didn't care, kicking me harder, so much so the force made me fly backward hitting the window and shattering the glass to pieces.I was so badly hurt that I didn't move after I slumped to the floor, just moaning in pain."Fucking pathetic prick." He spat, stumbling to his feet, and walked drunkenly towards Elena. She scrambled back,

Valerian's POV My heart was in my throat as we sped back to the city, all the while inside my mind I was beating myself up for not seeing everything they had planned out sooner.I should have known it was all a setup.I've heard stories about how sick those men were and I can only imagine the twisted and depraved things they were doing to my pack mates, people who right now were looking up to me for help….and I let them down."You'll drive yourself crazy if you don't stop." Jared came to stand beside me where I was fidgeting. I couldn't keep calm, eager to get back home and fight."I can't stop!" I hissed, whirling around to turn furious eyes at him. "It's all my fault that this is happening. I was in such a hurry to get to Elena, I rushed in blindly avoiding a lot of blinking red flags.""Blaming yourself won't help our people, pulling yourself together will."Due to my whole display in the woods, everyone kept away from me giving me a wide berth.I didn't like messy killings prefer

Somewhere on the outskirts of Red Sun Hill CityZayn's POV The soft rays of the early morning sun were filtering through the clouds and I moved around impatiently, waiting for the signal.We were all gathered here since yesterday, camping in their backyard. It was quite hard to conceal this large number of people from the city's radar but our people on the inside helped with that, diverting any attention away from us."What's the status?"I spoke into the earpiece I'd wired into my ear for easy communication, while one eye was on my mate. She was by Ethan's side, her head swept to the side to display her collar which was a symbol of our ownership. "It's a go, sir." A voice squeaked over the earpiece, quite difficult to hear but I easily got the message since it was what I'd been waiting to hear all day.Immediately I signaled to the Alpha for them to kick into action, then called Trent to the side.He jogged over to meet me, decked in his battle gear with several daggers and a knife

Valerian's POV "Hey," Jared calls out and I turned from where I was on the balcony to stare at him, watching his long legs eat up the space before he crossed over to where I was."Heard anything from her yet?" It had taken him a few hours but he healed from the wound, and after being placed on mandatory bed rest he was back to his normal jovial self.The search was still out for Ruby but I doubt we would catch her, I had a feeling she was long gone.I turn back, looking down at the activities taking place below.I was at the Court for some meetings- which seems never ending recently - and also because I needed to think. Being clouded by Elena's things and her scent in the house wasn't helping me think clearly.I had needed to come to a fast decision on what to do, either to forget about Elena and try to move on with my life or to fight like hell for her.I was quite torn about it for a while, the natural instincts as Alpha to protect my pack weighing heavily against my selfish desir

Ethan's POV"I've been thinking," Zayn announced out of the blue, gesturing for us to take a walk down the line of trees by the cabin away from prying eyes. "About what?” I ask, watching two birds tweeting at each other.“Elena.” The sound of her name was like a blaring alarm which caused me to look up at Zayn.“What happened to her?” I think back to the unconscious woman lying on the floor a few feet away from where we stood.“I want us to perform the mating ceremony today.” He informs me, not looking anywhere near me.“That’s sudden,” I turned to look at him. “what caused the change?” “If she’s mated with us, she would truly become one with us in every aspect physically and up here” he tapped the side of his head looking fierce. “she won't be able to hide anything.""You're not giving her the choice?"We might have not been the most loving of mates but there are some lines I do consider extreme, we are mates but performing the mating ceremony has to be the choice of both people i
The Lycan King's Fugitive Mate Chapter One Hundred
Ethan's POV I watched Zayn down drink after drink of alcohol, trying to blot out whatever he was feeling.When he first found out, he yelled, raged, and raked for the longest time until I thought he wouldn't stop.I totally understood why she would do that, she was a simple creature that just wanted love and to be loved, unfortunately, she got saddled with the wrong people but what made Zayn so angry was that she was going to take our child away from him.I opened the door quietly and looked at where Elena lay unconscious on the floor with the mark on her thigh.Zayn had rubbed wolfsbane into the wound to ensure that it didn't heal properly, even if it did heal, it would ensure that his name would forever be branded on her thigh.I had initially wanted to stop him thinking that that would be too much and it would definitely make her hate him all the more, but then I understood that he was hurt and he needed to lash out, in whatever form.After he stomped out still angry, his marks on
The Lycan King's Fugitive Mate Chapter Ninety Nine
Elena's POV I was rudely awakened when someone dragged me out of bed in the morning by thrusting the covers back, letting the chill of the morning air kiss my skin, and winding their hand around my arm, pushing me out. I blinked my eyes several times to clear the grogginess and focus on the brick of a man dragging me away, my night dress flapping around my feet. I whimpered when my bare foot stubbed on a table, effectively clearing the sleepiness from my eyes and the man turned to look at me and I realized it was Zayn. I sagged in his hold with relief and looked up at his face. "Za-yn slow down!" I shrieked when he increased his pace. He rounded the corner, his long legs eating up the floor and I hurried behind him walking twice as fast to keep up. He almost ran down the stairs, still dragging me without paying any attention to me or even stopping. If I thought my words were going to convince him to let up, boy was I wrong, because if anything he started to walk faster. "Zay-n! P
The Lycan King's Fugitive Mate Chapter Ninety eight
Valerian's POV "Someone get me, Jared!" I yelled to the entire room not speaking to anyone in particular, raking my hand through my hair in agitation. I've been trying to get across to him but to no avail. We were supposed to meet up this morning but he wasn't picking up at all and after a while, the calls were going to voicemail. I was getting worried, it was not like him to dismiss an important meeting without cause. "Sir." Someone called my attention to the front and I turned in that direction, meeting one of the younger shifter's earnest gaze. "I've tracked his phone as you suggested, its location is still pinging that it's at his house. 'So why wasn't he picking up the phone?" I mutter to myself. Then I picked up my keys and dashed out of the room like my tail was on fire. The beta assigned to drive me today saw me rushing out of the building and standing up in a hurry, to jump into the vehicle but I paid him no heed, rounding to the driver's side and I sped off without lo
