Chapter 25 – Destined to Mate the Lycan King

Filed to story: Destined to Mate the Lycan King >>

Avalynn POV

I felt myself being lifted in Dexter’s arms and moved to a bed. My hair was being moved as a towel tapped the spot that was bleeding.

“I know you said we must leave today but she can not travel at all. She needs at the least two days maybe three before she can travel.” He told Dexter.

“Are you kidding me?” He asked sarcastically.

“No, I am afraid that the blow to the head requires rest to heal and not that stress of traveling.” He said in a serious tone. “Since you have her lycan suppressed she will not heal as quickly.”

“One of my spies said that my brother is heading North with a ton of warriors. Which means Everest has probably contacted him. This is a disaster I need my warriors.” He stood and I heard him pacing.

“I need to figure out what could have caused her to pass out in the first place. Do you know if she had eaten something?” He asked Dexter and there was a long pause, followed by a sigh.

“Yes these herbs. The witch said dry is more dangerous. I may have used too much. It’s to suppress her Lycan and I have a scent masking that I placed in her orange juice.” He responded and as much as I wanted to scream ‘I Knew It!’ I remained still.

“My recommendation is to stop giving them to her, you could have killed the poor girl.” I heard Dexter sigh.

“How am I going to do this then? Give her a shot every single time? No, that won’t do.” He said.

“Call the witch? See if she could help you.” He offered that solution.

“Not that easy. I could take what she loves most like I took from her last time when she helped.” He was pondering and I realized the witch was forced. It got me wondering what she almost lost. “Brilliant plan. I’ll have my men on that quest then. I’ll force her to put up a hiding spell around us so it’ll appear that we aren’t here.” He laughed.

“Wonderful idea, sir. Anything else?” The deep voice asked.

“No, you’re free to go. Thank you.” He responded and I then felt his hand on my forehead and face, caressing my skin. “I am so sorry I have hurt you. I will figure out a way, a better way to show you my love for you. The love you will have for me, you will see soon, baby girl, you will see soon.” He paused and I heard him messing with his phone. I could hear the faint sound of ringing followed by a soft woman’s voice.

“Dexter, what can I do for you?” The woman asked him.

“I need your help, again, with my special princess.” He said flatly.

“I told you I was done, I paid my debt to you when you forced me to help you. You killed my sister and you took my neice last time. I just got her back, please Dexter, leave me alone.” Her voice sounded sad and my heart broke for her.

“That is fine to deny the Prince of his requests but remember it comes at a price. Better spend what little time you have left then with her.” I heard her gasp but then silence.

I wanted nothing more to jump up outta this bed and destroy him. Just as I was about to move a wave of pain made its way through my head. Almost like my body telling me in time, save up your energy. I had hope that the witch would be smart and run.

Miranda POV

That piece of crap, sorry excuse of a Prince trying to threaten me! How dare he! I paid the price that my brother left me with. He thinks he can just waltz in here at take Cassie again? He has another thing coming.

I walked through both of our rooms and packed three changes of clothes for myself and five for her. She being three was a bit more messy than myself. I packed up her favorite snacks and walked into her play room. Her playroom was a small extra bedroom and it was perfect for her destruction of toys.

“Cassie, sweetie?” She turned to me and her bright green eyes landed on me and she smiled.

“Cassie we are going to go bye bye for a few, pick two toys to take.” I told her and watched her decide very carefully on who to take. She picked up her stuffed rabbit she carried around and a teddy bear and walked to me. “Okay sweet girl, let’s go.”

We left my small home and I knew what I had to do. I must go to the new King of the Northern Territory and confess. Plead for mercy and hope that they understand that of I didn’t do as Dexter said, Cassie would be dead. My eyes teared up at that thought.

I placed some herbs in a necklace and hung it on my rear view mirror. It hid my scent and Cassies. I buckled her into her seat, gave her a snack and her juice and we were off.

I drove the opposite direction before turning around to make sure that no one was following me. Once all was clear I headed North. It would take a day or so to reach the territory boarder. We would stop at the small human town that seemed to split North and South. We would stay in a hotel room, have breakfast, then be on our way again.

I looked in my rear view and Cassie was munching on her snacks. She was bobbing her little head to the music playing and it brought a smile to my face. I would make sure that she would survive this, even if I did not survive until next week. The crimes I committed were punishable by death. I prayed to the Gods and Goddesses that a small light of mercy be shown.

When we arrived to the small town I pulled up to a hotel room, shocked at what I saw. A large mixture of fancy, detailed black SUVs were outside. I satbin my car and watched and when I saw King Brent shaking hands with King Everest I thanked the heavens above that they were both here.

I hurriedly got Cassie out of her seat and threw her on my hip. Bless her she couldn’t walk fast enough as I was rushing to catch them both before they went wherever they were heading.

“Wait!” I shouted “Please, wait! King Brent, King Everest!” I watched as they stopped and heaved a breath of fresh air, almost panting.

“Who are you?” King Brent asked.

“I am Miranda, a witch from the South. I have to talk to you both. Please, somewhere private. Your brother…” Just then a hand went up and motioned for us to follow. I followed and held Cassie close to my body as I followed the two large men into a room, the door closing behind me.
