The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER FORTY
For a week, Lucas didn’t hear from Brenda and she didn’t come to visit either. In the space of that week, his bond with Riley only grew stronger and even Dolph was wondering if Riley had replaced Brenda. Riley was excited, she enjoyed the attention she was receiving from Lucas and the reception from Dolph. She started seeing little of him as he got more busy and engrossed at the Pack office and more than once it had been just her and Lucas in the house.Everything was going smoothly for her, the fact that she saw little or nothing or Brenda made it even better. Once, Lucas had come across her in the hallway leading to his study and he caught her hands swiftly and pinned her to the wall. Riley was startled and she looked around with desperate, alert, and searching eyes.“What are you doing, King Lucas?” She whispered with an urgency in her voice. “Someone might just walk past and see us in this position.”“So? It’s my fucking pack after all.” He replied coolly, not even bothering to lo
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
Riley and Lucas’s love story went on for a few more days. Riley was happy, this was the best time of her life but it was going to take a drastic turn soon.One day, they had sex in Lucas’s bedroom at night and Riley collapsed on top of him, breathing heavily and with satisfaction. He let her naked body remain on his for a while, he too was exhausted and drained completely.After a while of silence that was only interrupted by their heavy breathing, she asked him a question.“What now, King Lucas?”“You know we’ve gotten so close, you can stop calling me that.” He said before replying to her strange question. “Call me Lucas.”“It’ll certainly taste funny in my mouth.” She remarked. “Lucas.”“Sounds good,” He said with a smile, then his face went serious. “Now, what did you mean by what now, Riley?”She took a deep breath, “It looks like you’ve broken up with Brenda, she hasn’t visited for some time now, it’s awkward.” “We had a huge argument the last time she was here, it didn’t end w

Lucas stared at Dolph who stared back with hesitant eyes.“Go bring her,” Lucas said.Dolph grimaced, “Oh common, Lucas, don’t send me to undertake this gruesome task.”“Go bring her, you wimp.” Lucas snarled and Dolph got to his feet.“Sure, Lucas, way to go for always leaving me with the herculean tasks.” He said and walked out of the study.He walked into the living room just in time to see her coming in through the front door. Brenda stopped when she saw Dolph, she looked dazzling in the short, black gown she wore. To his surprise, she smiled at him. “Hey, Dolph.” She said jovially.His eyes darted around in confusion, “Hey…Brenda.” What was going on? He wondered.She looked around, “Where’s Lucas?” She asked.“Come with me, we were busy studying before you showed up.” He said.“I didn’t mean to disrupt anything,” She said in a polite manner that didn’t sit well with him as she followed him.Dolph opened the door and let her in, he looked up and groaned before walking in and clos

Riley avoided Lucas for the rest of the day until she heard his car pull out of the driveway, it was the limousine and he was on his way with Brenda by his side. Although she felt hurt and knew she would always be second as long as Brenda was still here, she accepted the truth and she had said it to him herself. She was just his maid, his maid that was in love with him but apparently could never have a permanent place with him. Did it piss Riley off? Yes, very much, but she had some faith in what Lucas had said to her, he had assured her that he would work something out and she trusted him. She didn't have what to do, as long as Lucas wasn't in the pack, she was free to laze around, not until Dolph showed up later. "Oh, my fucking back!" He exclaimed as he walked into the living room. He didn't even look around, he already knew Lucas must be gone by now so he just walked straight to the bar. It was only after he had mixed Scotch and water for himself that he noticed Riley sitting
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER FORTY FOUR
What?How? That wasn't possible! She couldn't be pregnant, now not! Not when she was just Lucas's maid! Her face turned ashen as she stared up at the doctor, the only question she could ask was, "How far gone?" He looked at her, wondering why she wasn't excited to hear the news, "Is everything alright, miss?""Doctor! Please!" She exclaimed, startling him. "How far gone?" "A week or so." He said. She sat up and ran her fingers through her long, sleek hair. "Oh no! Oh no, no, no, no!" She mumbled, her heart thumping violently against her ribs. This was bad, very bad, there was no other person she could be pregnant for but Lucas. What was she going to do? Could she even say this to him? When he was already engaged to Brenda? This was terrible news, the worst news possible! If she told Lucas this, it would shatter everything he had built up with Brenda and might even smear his reputation. She was a fool not to have been more careful, each time they had sex, he had released into her.

"Faster!" "Common, don't give up on me now, faster!" She kept saying to herself as she dragged her body on.How long had she been running? How far had she even gotten? She didn't know, but instincts told her she hadn't gone far enough. It wasn't so difficult to leave the pack, with Dolph in the living room, all she had to do was sneak out of the room she had been kept in and walk around the back door. She had to pass through the kitchen to get to the back door and everyone already knew her there so there was no cause for alarm. Riley didn't have the time to get anything, what did she even have that belonged to her? Nothing. Her mind was just centered on getting away, out through the back door, it was easy from there. She avoided passing through the areas the lights from the pack house were covering so she had to move in the darkness. Another thing she had to watch out for was the patrolling guards, they had an incredible sense of smell, and she had come to learn that over the past f

Dolph was biting his nails like a child when Lucas and Brenda walked in.Lucas became alert instantly, he knew that sign very well, Dolph only bit his fingers when something went wrong or when they lost a business contract. "Dolph, what is the matter?" He asked with panic. Dolph's eyes widened when he saw Lucas and he rushed at him, completely ignoring Brenda. "The craziest shit possible has just happened, Lucas, Riley..." He looked at Brenda, unsure of whether to break the news in front of her or not. Lucas took the hint instantly, at the mention of Riley's name his heart was already pounding. "Come." He said and they went to his study, Lucas jammed and locked the door then went around his desk and sat down. Brenda was left in the sitting room, fazed and perplexed by Dolph's attitude and reluctance to let the cat out of the bag in her presence. She thought about going to eavesdrop on their conversation, but then changed her mind, she wasn't that petty. If it was something so

The wooden door was locked."Common, knock again," Lucas said impatiently.Dolph rapped on the door again with his knuckles and a groan came from inside the small, but beautiful bungalow where the pack's seer stayed. Madeline was a woman of sixty-two who had this special power of vision right from when she was a child. She had been the pack's seer for the past thirty-eight years but Lucas himself hardly consulted her. Dolph did because everything she had predicted happened, Lucas only went to her reluctantly and when it was very necessary, like now. The wooden door swung open slowly and a frustrated voice from inside said, "Now who the bloody hell is that knocking on my door crazily by this fucking time..." Her old but strong and firm voice trailed off when she set her eyes on Lucas. "Oh, it's the king." Her tone changed but the bored look in her washed-out blue eyes didn't. "Please, come in."She ushered them in and looked into the dark before closing the door behind her. "So, wh

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
The Lycan's Mate. CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO
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
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
