Chapter 19

I get to my chamber and strip down for a shower, I get in and lather myself from head to toe before rinsing.

I step out and dry off before wrapping a towel around my waist, I look at myself in the steamed mirror, I’m not the worse looking guy out there so where the hell is my mate? I have wondered if perhaps she was already dead, killed some how but I trust the God and Goddess would not be so cruel to me, to leave me on my own for the rest of my life.

I stand 6’ 6” I carry my brown hair long and keep them back in a ponytail, I’ve grown out my beard and keep it neat, Hazel eyes stare back at me with Gold around my iris, a mark of my royal heritage and blood.

The alarm goes off around the pack which means we are under attack, I hear screams and I hurry out the bathroom and quickly dress in a sweat pants and vest and run towards the screaming and crashing sound.

I get outside to see she-wolves and pups running and warriors running in the opposite direction, I follow after them, running full speed, it’s been so long since I’ve had some action, I am pumped!

I get there in time to see wolves trying to drag away teen and small pups, my Lycan roars and all eyes turn to me but by then it was too late, I had already lunged into the air, shredded and shifted into my Lycan form, I tore through the rogues in a matter of minutes ensuring to leave one badly injured but alive, with a roar I ran off into the forest, following my instincts and a very peculiar scent.

I saw shadows up ahead darting from one tree to another, they don’t have shape or form which makes this even stranger, they seem to be running away from me, I pick up speed and make a calculated guess as to which tree one of them would choose to jump to, I was right, I landed on one dragging my left claw through it, a piercing screech was released followed by the shadow taking form of some sort of bird, and flew away leaving bits of itself in my grip, I turned and ran back to the castle with whatever the hell this is in my hand and took it straight to our Herbologists and Potions masters.

They placed it in a jar so they could study it and I made my way to our prison after first passing into my chamber to shower and change, I’m a gentleman after all I must introduce myself with proper respect.

I push the dungeon door open and my guards bow as I pass by, I stop outside the door where my Royal Beta Cory is standing waiting for me.

“ My King” he bows “ at ease Beta Cory, what’s the update?” “the prisoner shifted back to his human form, he then vomited shades of black and purple and passed out” “ahhhhhhh” a scream came from in the cell and we opened the door and went in.

“ WHERE AM I? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME? IT H-HURTS, IT HURTS SO MUCH, WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE, WHY AM I HERE IN THIS PLACE? IS THIS A JAIL? WHAT KIND OF SICK PEOPLE CHAIN SOMEONE UNCONSCIOUS, WHAT GAME ARE YOU PLAYING?” “ SILENCE!”

‘Calm down Hunter’ ‘ do not test me human king’ “ YOU BROKE INTO MY KINGDOM, ATTEMPTED TO KIDNAP OUR FEMALES AND PUPS AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ASK WHAT KIND OF SICK GAME WE’RE PLAYING?! WE SHOULD BE THE ONE TO ASK YOU THAT YOU MONGREL! AFTER DOING SUCH THINGS YOU HAVE THE HEART TO BE IRATE AND CALL US SICK PEOPLE, SPEAK FOR YOURSELF AND DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FULL US BECAUSE I WILL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF YOUR SHOULDERS WHERE YOU KNEEL!”

The rogue cowered away, visibly shaking " I-I-I I'm sorry I don't remember doing that I swear, I've done anything like that in my life, I'm not the violent type, yes I may be rogue but I am not a bad person, I swear to Xeno, all I remember is being in the woods, I have a small cottage in the woods where I live, I made that cottage with my own Two hands in a spot that's close enough to the human city but far enough not to run into humans and trouble, I was walking back after making a trip to the city for groceries when I felt like s-someone was following me, I played it off because, come on I'm a wolf but then as I entered the woods it just seemed to get unnaturally darker and darker by the minute then suddenly I was surrounded by total darkness but still the feeling of someone being there remained, the last thing I remember was being hit with something and here I am"
