The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER ELEVEN
Lucas was pacing up and down in the living room when Dolph walked in with a smile on his face. “Why are you smiling?” Lucas asked immediately, taking it as a bad sign. “Why are you pacing up and down?” Dolph asked. “Answer me first!” Lucas snapped and a look of surprise jumped into Dolph’s eyes. “Okay, okay, relax man. I took her to the other side of the pack, the dark harbor. You should have seen the look of shock on her face, I tried so hard not to laugh. What was she expecting? A palace?” Dolph laughed mockingly. “All these lowly wolves don’t even know their fucking place, especially the females, huh?” He laughed again. Lucas ran his fingers through his hair and his face contorted with a look of worry. “So you left her with the other violent captives?” He asked, his voice was unusually unsteady. “Yeah, but it seemed like you wanted me to give her some special treatment. Although you didn’t voice it out, I saw it in your eyes.” Dolph smiled, pointing at him. “So I left her i
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER TWELVE
Dolph was so shaken by the incident, the first question that crossed his mind was, was she dead? He genuinely hoped not, if it was any other captive, he wouldn’t have given a fuck, but this one. This one seemed to have found favor in the eyes of Lucas and if she was dead, then Dolph was in a hell lot of trouble.He dropped to his knees and put his head on her chest. He released a long, loud sigh of relief, she was still breathing, she wasn’t dead.“For fuck’s sake, this doll almost made me piss in my fucking pants!” He exclaimed aloud, relaxing a bit but his heart was still thinking heavily.He had to get her out of there immediately. The first person he should have thought about contacting was a doctor, but he was in a hurry to draw Lucas’s attention to the situation. He picked her up effortlessly, she was easy to carry and he made his way out of the pack quickly. With panic he walked briskly, at some point he ran, then slowed into a walk again. His pace continued like this until he

Dolph joined him in the corridor a few minutes later, he brought a cigarette case with him.“I figured you might need one of these.” He said and handed the case to Lucas. “Not now, Dolph,” Lucas replied without looking at him.Dolph nodded and lit one for himself, it was rare for Lucas to reject a cigarette and he wondered why he looked so tense. How was a mere human making him so agitated? Normally Lucas didn’t even give a fuck about the captives here.“What’s the doctor saying?” Dolph asked.“Nothing, he’s still running checks,” Lucas said and suddenly looked at him inquisitively. “Did you do anything to her, Dolph?”Dolph was startled by the directness of the question, “Of course not, Lucas.” “You didn’t hit her?” Lucas asked again.“No, I didn’t. I found her unconscious.” He replied, his tone somewhat annoyed by Lucas’s strange persistence. “You don’t believe me? I found her unconscious. I feel like I’m being interrogated or something.” “Alright, enough,” Lucas said with a frow
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Lucas wasn’t the type that lied or twisted his words, he had a nature of being veracious and direct. Although it was difficult when it came to Brenda, he didn’t make any exceptions, he already knew what she wanted to ask and he wasn’t planning on lying. “Who’s she?” She asked, her death stare probing into his eyes. “Riley,” He said. “Do you want another drink?” He asked. “Who’s she?” Brenda asked again, her face deadpan. “A girl I met and rescued in the forest during yesterday’s attack.” He said and got up to fix a drink for himself. “What attack?” She asked. “We took down another pack yesterday.” He replied. This conversation only had one way, she was the one asking the questions while he only provided the answers. Her eyes flashed with admiration, Lucas never lost a fight and she took pride in the fact that he was her fiancé, but then she remembered the angry role she was playing. “So this girl, playing” “Riley.” He corrected me. Her eyes flashed at him, “I don’t ca
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Riley woke up with a languid feeling and a bitter taste in her mouth. She felt so weak and could hardly move her limbs. She remembered what had happened before she passed out, the shack the beta had left her in was so dirty and disarrayed. When she managed to sit down on the cold floor, a rat ran past her more than once and that frightened Riley to her bones. She hated rodents, she hated her fate and who she was born into. She wondered if this was how she was going to keep living, with rats and the husky, intoxicating fetid smell of the air. The first signs of weakness came when she tried to stand up, but she couldn’t. An ache raged through her head and her vision became blurry instantly, that was when she fell unconscious. She sat up on the comfortable bed and groaned, at least she could move now, she thought. The door suddenly swung open and a maid walked in, the moment she saw Riley awake, she turned and left the room. “What was that all about?” She wondered and got off the be

“How’s she coping?” Lucas asked the moment Dolph walked into his study later that day.“I can say better, she ate a lot on my command and took the drugs the doctor left behind. She should be lively and ready to serve the king tomorrow.” Dolph replied and sat down.“Great news,” Lucas said without looking up.He was busy going through some documents concerning a few contracts they had made with neighboring packs and he didn’t like what he was seeing. “Lucas, I have one question,” Dolph said.“Does it involve Riley? If it does, I don’t know the answer.” He said and pushed a document toward Dolph. “There, look at those documents, what do you think?”When it came to business, Dolph was way smarter than Lucas, so most times Lucas relied on him to take care of the pack’s businesses. Dolph knew he had the upper hand here and an imperious smile crossed his lips. “I’m not looking at it until you hear my question and then see if you can answer it or not.” He said and pushed the documents back

The next day was Riley’s first day as Lucas’s maid and before she left Dolph’s house, she thanked the maids for their services to her. When she turned around, Dolph was standing by the wall, his arms folded while one leg crossed over the other, his face was impassive as he stared at her. She bowed to him stiffly.“You didn’t have to say anything to them, they were acting on my orders after all.” He said.“I just felt like I had to.” She replied, although he had acted harshly towards her the previous day, Riley thought that he wasn’t such a bad person. “Didn’t you see the way they looked at you? Their faces read, is this bitch crazy?” He remarked. “Lucas is waiting for you, you have a very busy day ahead. Get your stuff.” He squinted at her and then saw that she was carrying nothing. “Oh, you don’t have any stuff, let’s go then.”Lucas was in the living room, luckily Brenda wasn’t around so Riley didn’t have to meet her immediately. He was sure Dolph had already given her the warnings
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER EIGTHEEN
“Are they similar?” He asked, watching her expression keenly.She nodded silently, her mind was racing and bracing itself for the question she knew he was about to ask. “Most of those scars you have can only be made by a beast of some kind, especially a werewolf.” He said, staring intently at her. “So I want you to tell me something, Riley. Apart from the night, I saved you, have you ever been attacked by a werewolf?”She had certainly been raped, beaten, and bullied by one, Riley thought. She hoped that Lucas hadn’t bothered to ask around or carry out any sort of research. But could he? He couldn’t, the only place he could have gotten information from was the pack he just destroyed. Nonetheless, he was onto her and she knew she couldn’t lie this time. “Yes, I’ve encountered one or two.” She replied, again that stare of his made her very uneasy.He squinted at her, “So how are you not dead? Werewolves aren’t that merciful to weaker beings.” He said. This was getting trickier with e

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
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE
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
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT
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
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE
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
