The Lycan King

Killian's POV

I couldn't contain my excitement on the day we were to embark on the trip to the Blood Moon Pack. Ever since the prophetess told me that my mate was in that pack had been dying of eagerness to go there and find her. If it wasn't for my father who had insisted that I wait a few more days then I would have probably gone by myself to fetch her.

Even though most people said I was cruel and cold-hearted, I still had a soft spot for my mate. And why wouldn't I? She was my other half and was going to be the mother of my child. it had been 3 years now since I turned eighteen and got my wolf, Raphael, in a normal case I should have been able to find my mate the moment I turned 18 but unfortunately, I hadn't. I had begun to think I didn't have one and would never produce an heir that would take after me, even my younger brother had found his mate a year ago and was happily married to her.

I thought that perhaps I had done something to offend the moon goddess, so I spent many days praying to her and hoping she would give me a mate. After three years I had lost hope completely. I was now the Lycan King and the most powerful Aloha in the world, Some would think I had everything but clearly, I was still suffering from loneliness. It was a hard task ruling a kingdom and an even harder one doing it alone. This was why I have grown distant and treated people ruthlessly, it was where I had gotten my title of the ' Cruel King ' from.

But just last week a miracle happened. I had that I was running through a forest in my wolf form, and I stumbled upon a dark grey wolf. The moment I saw her I felt an instant connection to her and knew that she was the one I was looking for. She was also very happy to see me and told me that she had been waiting for me for so long.

I felt very miserable when I woke up and realized it was all a dream. But that morning the Pack Prophetess summoned me and told me about the vision she said. She said that the moon goddess had finally given me a mate and that I would find her in a Northern pack called the Blood Moon Pack. Honestly, I had never heard of this pack before, it was a small one and not of the bigger packs I ruled. But it didn't matter because I was overjoyed. The moon goddess had finally answered my prayers and given me a mate, I was going to find her and bring her to rule by my side as Luna

" You look very excited already, you can't wait to see her right?" My Beta Liam said. He has been my best friend for a very long time and he was the only one I trusted to rule the kingdom in my place aside from my father, I didn't even trust my brother Asher as much as I trusted Liam

" Mind your business, Liam. I know i am leaving you and mt father in charge, but Don't forget to update me on anything that happens in the kingdom, hopefully, I will only be absent for three days"

" Take as long as you want, this is what you have been waiting for for a very long time, I want you to have as much fun as you can. We can't wait to welcome your Luna into our pack"

I smiled at Liam's words. I couldn't wait to bring my mate to the Moon Goddess pack. It was said that our pack had the most blessings of the moon goddess because we were born solely to serve her. Our lands were also blessed with wealth and resources which made us the richest pack in the world. The title of Lycan King had been passed down in our pack from generation to generation. Being King was a dream of mine, I knew the struggles I had to go through to become king, I had to compete with my brother for the throne and our relationship hadn't been good ever since. Eric had been very rebellious when I was crowned King and insisted that the position rightfully belonged to him, but ever since he got his mate he had been calmer.

" Are you ready your majesty?" My driver asked as I got into the car. I nodded my head and the car started, We were zooming in the direction where the Blood Moon pack was. It might take a long time to arrive but it would all be worth it once I saw her

Kira's POV

I was awakened by a cold sensation in my body. I woke up in shock to see Lucille standing in front of me with a bucket in her hands. She had just used ice water to wake me up, and my entire body started shivering from the cold

" Wakey wakey bastard bitch. It's time to get to work, The Lycan king is coming today and we need to get this house in order. Get to it" Lucille said and walked away, not after dumping the bucket on my head making the rest of the water soak into my clothes.

At this point, my teeth were chattering and I was sure that I would have a cold by the end of the day. The injuries on my body felt a bit better after a night of rest but there were still nowhere healed. As a hybrid, I only had half the healing ability of a normal werewolf, but I was still thankful I didn't have to bear the excruciating pain from yesterday. I pulled myself to a standing position and hurriedly went to my room to clean up, Luna Ivory hated it when I walked around the house looking unpredictable, even though the only thing she gave me to wear were rags and worn-out clothes which Lucille didn't want. It was my life and I was used to it by now

I set out to clean the kitchen, mop the floors, and make breakfast for the family. My father and stepmom were holding a pack meeting to which every member of the pack except me ( because no one wanted to admit that I was also a pack member) was required to attend. So this at least left me with the peace and silence I needed to clean the house. It wasn't an easy job because the pack house was very big, I didn't finish cleaning until it was well after sundown. I sighed in relief as I was finally able to have the moldy bread Luna Ivory had handed to me that morning. This was my reward for a job well done.

I went back to my room to sleep after that. I ran into Lucille the moment I walked out of the kitchen, she was there with her best friend Amy. Both girls looked at me in disgust. " Now that the Lycan king is coming, I hope he won't have to see that thing," Amy said pointing at me in pure disgust

" Of course not, he is coming here to see me. Also, my mom says you should stay in your room and not come out. If not just consider yesterday's beating as a small punishment"

" Yes" I hurried to my room, I was trying to hold back the tears in my eyes as Lucille and Amy made jest of me and my title as ' bastard '. I hated it when people called me that, I knew I was a bastard but it wasn't my fault, it wasn't my mother's fault as well. The only one who should be blamed for our circumstances was none other than my father, he was the one who had raped my mother and yet he was the least blamed out of us all.

I squeezed myself into the abandoned closet that served as my room. I didn't have anything here except for the rags which served as my clothes and also my bed. I would stuff them together to make a bed which I slept on. I was feeling very tired after a long day so it didn't take long before I fell asleep

I woke up later that night feeling very thirsty. I had forgotten to take water after eating that bread and now I felt restless. Even though Luna Ivory had warned me to not come out of my room until she allowed me I didn't think it applied during the nighttime as well. The King must have arrived in the pack house today but I expected him to be asleep like everyone else. There was a very low chance I would run into anyone.

I got up from my bed of rags and walked out of the closet. I made my way down the dark corridors of the pack house, the only source of light at this time was the moonlight which seeped through the windows. I was careful not to make any noise as I climbed down the stairs and headed toward the kitchen. I successfully took a glass from the counter and drank some tap water. I turned around to go back upstairs but was startled by the sound of someone moving in the living room.

Even though I couldn't see it clearly, someone was standing by the corner of the living room, there was a soft red glow coming from the cigarette he was holding between his fingers. He was smoking, in the pack house! I wondered who it was in my pack that would dare do such a thing in my father's home without the fear of getting punished.

" Please moon goddess" I heard the person say. His voice was deep and sweet, unlike anything I had ever heard before. " Show her to me, please"

This person was praying to the moon goddess, I didn't want to be seen or interrupt such a private moment for whoever he was. The words of Lucille from earlier today rang in my head. ' Don't come down, the beating of today will seem like a small punishment '. I didn't want to be punished, I hadn't even recovered from the last one. I turned around and started climbing the stairs, but unfortunately, the person took notice of me, I heard him sniffing the air

" Mate" he growled almost animalistic scaring the shit out of me. " Mate" I could hear his approaching footsteps. " Wait! Don't run"

I didn't stop running. I dashed forward in the dark hoping to make it to the safety of my room before whoever that was would catch up with me. In my hurry, I didn't take notice of the person standing in front of me and collided straight into her. We toppled to the ground together, both of us embracing tightly out of instinct

" What the fuck! Kira? You bitch! Get the fuck off me" Lucille pushed me away, I hurriedly got up and ran towards the direction of my room. I could hear her surprised Shriek as whoever was chasing after I had caught up with her

" Mate!" His growl was loud enough to wake up the entire house, and it did. But thankfully I was in the safety of my room, curled up to myself and wondering what the hell just happened.
