The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
She could have fainted out of shock at that point.Brenda couldn't believe her eyes! Riley! Alive and well right before her eyes! It didn't look real at all, her heart constricted with fear and terror.This meant that Shaw and his men had failed, for fuck's sake Shaw never failed! But how? How was it possible that Lucas found a way to get to her? Shaw and his men had the head start, they had the advantage, so…how?She looked at Riley and she could have sworn that there was a merciless glint in her eyes. A glint that told her that she was treading on thin, dangerous ice. The blood all over them made Brenda cringe as a scary thought dropped in her head, Whose blood was that?"Riley?...No way…" She mumbled.Riley didn't know how to feel, facing the fiancée of the man she was pregnant for but the baby in her womb was the least of Brenda's concerns. She bowed to Brenda who just stared at her speechlessly.She looked at Lucas, "Where did you find her?" She managed to ask."Shenhai." He repl
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR
Everything was still the same as she had left it a few weeks ago.She couldn't even remember how long she had been gone, and to be honest, she missed this pack a lot. Although it wasn't even hers, she started to love it because of Lucas. He was a reason, at least, but it seemed like he despised her now, and for a lot of reasons, it troubled her greatly. Who else could she turn to but him? He was the only one who cared about her, that was until she ran away. She slept comfortably, but only her body was calm, her thoughts were in turmoil. It felt good to be back, but it wasn't just the same. She could never forget the havoc her presence had reeked upon Caleb's house and it made her heart bleed.She imagined the rest of the people of the town waking up to such a gruesome scene and not even finding her there. All fingers would be pointed at her, as they should be, but they would never see her again, she was sure of that. Her thoughts couldn't be prevented from wandering off, she thought

Lucas was pissed after that conversation with Riley.He had a deep frown plastered on his face as he walked into the hallway, even the maids knew that rare look of contorted rage on his face. A group of three maids that were walking towards him froze as they saw that look, one even turned and walked the other way. The other two stood like statues as he walked past them with that deadly look, they only moved when he was out of sight. "Oh my fucking goodness, I don't know who got him that angry, but that person should be praying to the fucking moon goddess right now." One of them remarked.Lucas met Dolph as he was going up the stairs and Dolph took note of that deep frown. Dolph sighed and stopped him, "You need a fucking drink right now." He said. "Common, living room, bar, now." They walked into the living room and Dolph went straight to the bar, he poured Irish scotch for Lucas and added water to his glass."There you go." He said as he walked to the couch Lucas sat on and offere

The look in his eyes chilled her blood and turned it cold.Everything had changed and she knew it was no joke this time, Lucas despised her. She had been very restless as she lay on her bed and decided to go for a walk, she had been surprised to meet him in the living room. He looked her over, the sun was out in its full fervor and she had on a light, plain dress and simple footwear. "Where are you going? Did I just catch you while you were trying to run away again?" He asked scornfully. She sighed dejectedly, "Are you going to keep taunting me, Lucas...Sorry, King Lucas?" She asked."You shouldn't answer my question with a question, Riley." He said sternly. "Now answer my question." His voice was flat and tinged with harshness. Her heart was so fragile in front of him and his words kept on hurting her even more. She stared down because she couldn't look at those eyes that didn't love her anymore, she would burst into tears if she stared at the deep holes that were like an abyss of
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN
Lucas's mind was already made up as he woke up the next morning.He knew what must be done, he had weighed up his options. He had judged the reactions to it and he had put all the necessary considerations into place in his mind. It was a very tough decision to make, but he had concluded before he slept that night. He needed a Luna and in the next six days, one was going to be crowned. For now, he needed to do what he had to do to set the mood right, he was going to give the right lights and signals to all the people that would be personally affected by his decision. He suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Brenda the whole of yesterday and wondered where she might have gone too. He remembered how he had brushed her aside the night he had gotten Riley back, but surely she must have understood that he had been exhausted. As he was about to climb off the king-sized bed, a knock sounded on the door to his vast bedroom. "Now who in the hell could that be?" He wondered. He looked at the

When Lucas walked into his bedroom and met Brenda, he suddenly regretted the decision of their dinner date.He couldn’t go back on his word now though, so he forced a weary smile to his face as he closed the door behind him. “I heard some voices coming from downstairs,” She said. “Who was that?” “Oh, that was Dolph, he’ll be busy in my study while we dine,” Lucas replied and took off his suit coat.“Yikes,” She remarked. “Dolph seems like the only one that doesn’t have time to himself, he hardly even has time to rest from what I see.” “He loves working,” Lucas replied, it wasn’t completely a lie, but it wasn’t true.Dolph had nothing else to do actually, he didn’t have many friends. Lucas was his only friend, he wasn’t a very social person. If he wasn’t screwing a lady out of her brains, then he was working, that was Dolph's schedule. “Hard to believe anyone can love working.” She remarked and shrugged. “You look exhausted, you still want to have dinner?” She said, her eyes tracin

The next day, the air of festivity had already permeated throughout the pack.Lucas woke up with a sour taste in his mouth and a pounding ache in his head. He groaned as he sat up and rested his back on the bed head. When he closed his eyes and sat still for a while, trying to recall what had happened, he suddenly realized that he was naked.How was he naked? He never slept naked unless he had had sex the previous night. His eyes busted open and he turned and saw Brenda by his side. She was fully covered up by the blanket and when he took it off slightly, he realized that she was naked too!“Oh no!” He thought. He had slept with Brenda in his drunken state! He slapped a hand to his forehead and shook his head, but then, when he thought about it deeply, he didn’t care anymore. He shrugged and crawled out of bed as he stretched his naked body. He didn’t care about Riley anymore, he could do whatever he wanted.Brenda’s eyes opened and they fell on his perfect, muscular body and she reca

When Riley met Dolph later that day, he was in a disheveled state, just like his thoughts.He sat on a garden bench and he was just staring ahead at nothing in particular, she had never seen him this way. She shook his shoulders slightly, but he didn’t respond until she yelled his name into his ears.He jolted and stared at her with anxious eyes. “Riley? What the hell are you doing here?” He asked, his eyes dazed and still distant from his thoughts.“You look like a mess, Dolph. I wanted to talk to you but if it’s not the right time, I can-” He shook his head, and that made her stop talking.“It’s okay, we can talk now.” He said, blinking severally as if that would help clear his thoughts.She stared at him, assaying the state he was in. “Are you sure?” She asked and he nodded. “Of course, never doubt the Beta’s words, forest girl.” He said firmly and she could see that he was getting a hold of himself gradually.“What happened to you?” She asked. “Or you do not want to tell me about

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

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
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN
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
