The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER FIFTY -ONE
When her eyes opened again, Riley's blood turned cold immediately.A very fetid smell came to her nostrils and she suddenly realized what was happening when her blurry eyes saw the black, ominous objects around her. Vultures! They had surrounded her, four of them, thinking she was dead. She was so tired and weak, but the fear of the sharp beaks of the ugly birds digging into her flesh made a rush of adrenaline fuel her for a short period. The birds watched with their crooked necks and hideous bald heads keenly and when their prey moved, they took steps back. Riley's groping hand found and gripped a stone and she hurled it at one of the big birds. They scampered away, but not too far, they hung and waited on low branches of nearby trees. With a desperate effort, Riley struggled to her feet and tottered forward. Her knees felt wobbly and like they were going to give up on her anytime soon, her body was burning with exhaustion. She was starving, her whole body was weakened, languid,

"Nothing? Nothing?" Lucas bellowed as Dolph walked in with the news.Dolph sat down on a chair and breathed deeply, "You've got to relax, Lucas. The men haven't found her yet but I assure you, they will." He said. "There's no fucking way she can outrun them for long, you know, those are trained men and they know the forest better than she does. They'll surely get her.""I'm not fucking convinced, if she remains in that bloody forest for too long, who knows what will happen to her!" Lucas said, his voice angry and worried. "You know her scent, don't you?" Dolph nodded, "Yes, I do." He replied."If by this evening, those men do not have anything reasonable to report to you, we'll move in tomorrow," Lucas said, his face contorted and his eyebrows furrowed. "I won't let her get away, not with my child in her womb and not after all that stuff Madeline said.""Thought you didn't take Madeline's answers that seriously," Dolph remarked. "Well, this is different, when I get fed up with this

The other maids in the house stared at her as though she was an alien that had just fallen from space. This town was so small and old-fashioned that a visitor was such a rare thing. In the room Riley had been kept in, from time to time the maids snuck in one by one to have a look at her while the others peeped from the door which was left ajar.Riley had been unconscious for almost six hours and she woke up when she felt something poking at her face. Slowly and with a groan, she opened her eyes and stared at the startled maid who was poking at her cheeks in awe. The maid froze, terrified, she let out a scream that rang throughout the room and Riley was so surprised by her actions. The other maids at the door, noticing what had happened scampered away but when they turned, they froze as they saw Caleb staring at them."What the hell are you all doing here?" He bellowed and they bowed their heads and walked briskly away, leaving the frightened maid stranded in the room. "Ugh! They can b

Caleb was extremely nice to her and he had no other intentions towards her other than to help her recuperate fully. The only doctor in the small town was quite busy when Caleb walked into his small office in a stone building. When the bald, middle-aged doctor saw that it was Caleb and he noticed the urgency in his voice, he decided to suspend what he was doing."What's the matter, Caleb?" The doctor asked."You need to come with me, doctor, I've got an injured girl who fainted on my doorstep. She's got bruises all over her." Caleb replied in haste.The doctor frowned but he didn't ask any questions until they were on their way, walking briskly towards Caleb's beautiful house. "You said she fainted on your doorstep? Who is she?" The doctor asked.That was a question Caleb couldn't answer, he didn't know who Riley was or where she had come from, all he knew was her name. "I don't know, doc." He replied and the doctor shot a stern look at him from the corner of his eyes and asked in bewi

Lucas was furious and irritated at the same time as he stared at Dolph who stood with his head bowed down at the doorway. "I should imprison all of you, shouldn't I?" Lucas asked angrily. Dolph nodded furiously, "Yes, they all need to be dealt with!" He concurred vehemently. Lucas glared at him, "Without the exception of you too, Dolph!" He snapped. Dolph's eyes widened, "Me? What did I do?" He asked, aware that Lucas wasn't kidding with his words. "Exactly!" Lucas exclaimed and got to his feet. "The same question I've been asking myself for about four days now, what have you done?" Dolph frowned, "Oh common, don't push this entire search mission on me, I do not have bloody clones, neither am I fucking omnipresent or something." He retorted. Lucas squinted at him, "What the fuck do you mean by that, Dolph?" He asked in a menacing tone, but Dolph wasn't to be intimidated this time. "What I fucking mean by that is that I have to be at the pack office every bloody day to make

Brenda didn't speak to Lucas for a while, she was still staying at his pack for a reason.She wanted to know how progress with the search for Riley was going while still keeping up with reports from her men. From the latest reports, her men were convinced that she was not in the forest. They had combed the entire forest and frankly, they were surprised how she got past there despite the wild beasts that flocked the forest. One night she met with one of them, Shaw, who was in charge and he reported news that shocked her."We were attacked by beasts, the Sabertooths seem to have taken over that entire area. We lost two men last night, but that was due to their carelessness." He said with a grim expression on his face and faint traces of blood smeared on his collar and neck. "I warned and alerted everyone to keep a sharp eye out for attacks like this so any man we lose didn't take the warning." He frowned and she did too. "With how dangerous the forest is, we became open to the idea tha

The next morning, Lucas was already up and ready before the clock struck seven.He felt dumb for not taking part in the search right from the start, by now, they would have gone far with the search for her. He had kept a distance from Brenda ever since the incident, the last thing he was going to do was apologize to her, it would be stupid to do that.The more the days passed by without them talking, the higher the cold wall of pride that was building between them grew and the more desperate to find Riley he became. As he was about to step out of his room, he heard a knock on the door and he opened it. It was Brenda. He was surprised to see her here but he was also very impatient and in a hurry to get rid of her. "Lucas, can we talk?" She asked gently.First of all, he wasn't in the mood to talk to her, secondly, he didn't want to waste any more valuable time. Riley had to be found as soon as possible and the more time he wasted, the further she got away from him. He shook his head

Riley enjoyed her stay in Shenhai but she knew she had to leave."It still beats me how you're so hospitable to someone like me, Caleb." She said the next day as he walked into her room with her medication. She was doing so well now, she looked as healthy as ever but those scars of hers were still there, and it would take some time for those to fade away."I'm glad I was, look at you now, you're the best company I've had in years." He replied. "You've made Shenhai a pretty interesting place for me and you've only been here for a few days." She smiled at him, "I would like a tour, Caleb." She said and he looked at her in surprise."Really? Taking a tour around Shenhai will take about two hours or less." He replied. "No way! This town is that small?" She asked in surprise.It took almost two hours to walk the full length of Lucas's pack. How could a pack be as big as a town? Well, a pack was some sort of a town after all, wasn't it? She thought.He nodded, "Shenhai is small and that'

Riley struggled to contain her temper, she wanted to hurl at Lucas so badly, but she held back the urge.The startled lady jumped off the desk and straightened her skirt with a look of embarrassment and shock on her face. At that moment, the secretary ran in, panting heavily and her eyes widened as she saw the scene in front of her. “King Lucas, I’m so sorry, I couldn’t restrain the queen from barging in.” She said apologetically, afraid that she might lose her job. Lucas, who had recovered from the brief moment of shock, waved her away. “It’s okay, you can go.”The secretary couldn’t have gotten out of there quicker, it was as hot as a hell hole due to the heat between Riley and Lucas.Riley glared at the lady and suddenly became angry that she was still there. “Get the fuck out, you fucking whore!” She bellowed spitefully and the lady, who was shivering from head to toe, rushed out. Riley slammed the door after her and faced Lucas, who was now on his feet with a cigarette and lig

Riley cried bitterly that night, she felt so betrayed by Lucas that she thought all the love for him she had left was gone, but it wasn’t. She still loved him dearly, but she hated the guts he had to put her through this sort of torture. Ignoring her and making her feel less of a woman wasn't enough for him, he had to sleep around too and that hurt her. Worse was the fact that she was sure he didn't care about her feelings. He knew he was doing this to her intentionally, but it had gone way too far. “What an asshole you are, Lucas, a fucking asshole!” she cried and buried her face in a pillow.She cried herself to keep and all this while,Lucas didn't step foot into the room. “Now you’ve messed up big time, how do you explain this?” Dolph asked, running his fingers through his hair in frustration, this was complete madness! Lucas's face was unconcerned and he just shrugged, “Explain? To who? I owe nobody an explanation for anything, Dolph.” He said flatly. “Yeah, no one except yo

Dolph cleared Lucas's desk before leaving the pack office that evening.He was exhausted and there were some documents he had to drop off at the pack house so Lucas could sign them the next morning before coming to the office.He drove to the pack house, his eyes heavy and tired, he strolled in to find the queen seated in the living room."Hey there, Riley." He said languidly as he walked past her.Riley who had a frown on her face turned to watch him walk away, it seemed like Dolph was dragging himself rather than walking."Hey, Dolph." She said, but he was already out of sight.Riley was getting tired of this pretty quickly, she just wished Lucas would come to his senses soon. His negligence of her and his ill attitude just made her stay here unbearable.She wasn't just some doll or effigy he kept in his house to portray the crown of the queen. She wasn't an object of the throne, she was a human too, who had feelings and emotions and needed care and love. Lucas ruthlessly denied her

Lucas left his office later that day with an angry look on his face. He walked out of the pack office building and his chauffeur brought the car around the building. “Where to, King Lucas?” He asked.Lucas didn't want anyone to know where he was this particular night, so he decided to drive himself there. “Don't worry, I’ll take it from here.” He said to the driver who got out and handed the key to him.Lucas drove for a while, silently and just taking in the beautiful atmosphere of the night, and then he decided that it was time to leave. The more he thought about Riley, the more erect he became and his craving for satisfaction became unbearable. He drove out of the pack and headed into the city, it had been a while since he headed out alone. Usually, he went with Brenda but of course, she was unavailable and very much out of his reach.He went to a huge pub where he had been a regular before he was handed the prestigious crown of his pack, he was still remembered there and even ack
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE
Lucas developed a habit of keeping late nights and soon, it grew into something more.From getting drunk occasionally, to going to clubs and picking up different beautiful ladies. Everything usually ended in the pub or club, but that also started changing too. That night, after Dolph’s conversation with Riley, he became more worried about the relationship between the king and queen of the pack. It was like a bond no longer existed between the both of them but everyone else in the pack was too blind to see it or detect anything wrong. He couldn’t go about his responsibilities properly for the rest of the day and that also included his favorite sport, sex. She stopped riding him for a while and just sat on him, but still it took a short while for him to realize that she had stopped.“What’s the matter?” He asked, his eyes still looking dazed from his thoughts.There was a look of annoyance on her face as she got off him and left the bed, completely naked. She picked up his cigarette ca

Staying with Lucas in the same room wasn’t going to change much or mend the acrid relationship between them but Riley was still going to give it a try.She was determined to win Lucas over again, but it proved to be a rather herculean task as time went on. She realized that at first, their love had blossomed effortlessly, Lucas had fallen in love with her at first sight, and then there was also the bond between them. Riley had forgotten how difficult it was to try and make a man fall in love with her ever since she met Lucas, but now, she was going to discover it again.She had a nightmare of Lucas treating her the same way Shawn had and the thoughts of it just became more and more frightening as she thought about it. One thing she was sure of was that Lucas would never imprison her or hit her, he also would never rape her. Whatever phase he was going through now was just the acceptance at stage all over again and once he finally came to terms with his emotions, all would be fine. But

What Riley thought was a good situation turned out to be hell and she found herself wishing she could leave the pack. Over the next four months or so, her stay with Lucas as his Luna could be described as traumatic and it got into her head so much that she often fell into depression.The next day, after her coronation, Lucas assigned her to another room and she left the maid’s quarters, but she wasn’t staying with him in the same bedroom either. He moved her and all her belongings to another bedroom and that made her confused. “Why do we have to stay separately from each other now that I’m your Luna, Lucas?” She asked.He stared at her impassively, “Because that is how I want it to be, You just wear the crown and bear the title of the luna of my pack, there’s nothing special between us.” He replied indifferently. “And what about the child? What about your child, Lucas?” She asked, suddenly developing a feeling of resentment for him. “My child will be well taken care of. Anytime y

There was a feast later on and then a dance.Lucas left her alone for some time and was lost in the crowd. She too was lost in a small circle of ladies who had gathered around her and were trying to know more about her. She was supposed to join a clique specifically for the Lunas of the Lycan queens and one even confessed something rather embarrassing to her. “I’ll be honest right now, Riley,” One of the other queens around her said. “We already had a special towel made for the incoming queen of the Shadow pack and to be honest, we already had Brenda’s name inscribed on it.” The others laughed softly and one added, “That’s no big issue, we’ll make another one right before our next meeting.”This was when Dolph stepped in and interrupted them, “Excuse me, ladies, if you don’t mind I would like to have the newly crowned queen.” He said politely and they giggled.Riley was relieved that Dolph had whisked her away from them when he did, she became bored of their company very quickly and

Out of everyone in the room, Lucas was the only one who was neither shocked nor surprised. He saw the look on everyone’s face, his eyes caught the expression on Brenda’s but he didn’t look at her or her father or the few people he had brought along from their pack. Instead, he placed his hands on Riley’s arms and helped her to her feet. Her heart was beating so fast and heavily, there were goosebumps all over her skin. She was so shy standing in front of all these people who knew nothing about her.Another thing was, she was happy, her heart busted with jubilation the moment Lucas had said that Brenda couldn’t be his Luna and that had made her smile until the moment she heard her name. Lucas gestured to her and together, they both turned and faced everyone in the hall. There was no applause yet, everyone was still recovering from the shock of what had just happened. It was Dolph who started it. He clapped and slowly, everyone else in the room joined in. Everyone except an angry Brend
