Chapter 20 - Working towards peace.
Helena
When we returned, I had so much that I couldn’t imagine ever being able to wear all of it! Oliver seemed pleased, which made me happy. I didn’t want him or his family or his pack, for that matter, to think that I was after their money. Athena noticed my hesitancy while we were shopping, and she quickly made it clear to anyone and everyone who was listening that I hadn’t asked for this. All of this was a gift from Oliver, according to her.
“If anybody has a problem with our queen looking the part, they should take it up with the king.” Her words still rang through my thoughts. I was a queen. I was mated to a king! It all still felt so unreal, and I still had so many questions that I wanted to ask Oliver. I patiently waited until we were on our evening walk before I finally got the courage to ask.
“Do you still believe that you did the right thing? I mean, when you decl

OliverAnswering Helena’s questions was tough, but there was no way I was going to lie to her. If our relationship started with lies, it would be tough in the beginning, but it would get easier over time. I didn’t want lying to Helena to become easy. The meeting didn’t go as planned, but the omission wasn’t a lie, was it? I would tell her, eventually. I just didn’t have the heart to tell her now.The council was furious with me. All the people we lost in the war. All the families who had to live without their loved ones. All the resources we used for a war that I stopped halfway through. Not killing the wolves we had as prisoners was the last straw for them. I had to literally bit my tongue not to lose it completely. I didn’t want to lose Helena. I didn’t want to lose my crown, but I would give that up if it meant losing Helena! My parents supported me completely, but my council weren&rsq
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 22 - Why are females so much different?
HelenaI looked at Oliver and wondered, but something told me that although he trusted his people, he wasn’t going to share our vulnerability with them. Something was holding him back from doing that. I wasn’t sure if it was because he probably felt he always had to be a strong leader or if he just didn’t share. Maybe he only shared with his family.It was actually ridiculous. Why weren’t leaders ever allowed to be weak? If they were, they might not be the bastards some of them were. I thought of Liam and the way he grew up. If his parents weren’t such horrible people. If he had grown up in a place where love was freely given, things might have been different for us. For him.“Are you okay?” Oliver frowned beside me and I sighed deeply, nodding.“I was just thinking of Liam, and how different his life could have been.” I shrugged. It was still a
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 23 - She isn't one of us!
HelenaIt took time, but everything was arranged within a couple of days. I was feeling so excited and went looking for Oliver. He was in town with his father taking care of the yule lights that they were planning on putting up all over town. I had seen pictures of the lights in an album Athena showed me and I couldn’t wait to see them in all their glory. We didn’t have lights at the pack house, so this was something completely new to me. As I walked closer to a group of men, I realized I hadn’t found what I was looking for. The scene playing out in front of me wasn’t what I hoped for.“Say that again! I dare you!” Oliver was gripping a Lycan around his throat. The male looked furious as he glared at Oliver.“She is not one of us!” He growled at Oliver, and I was stunned that one of them stood up to Oliver like that. It took me a moment to realize that the she the male was referring to was me! We had been trying our best to involve as many of the staff at home with the arrangements. I
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 24 - The yule lights.
Helena“No lights? None at all?” Oliver looked sad and I shrugged.“Nope.” I walked on and they followed me.“Okay, wait. Did you celebrate yule?” Oliver frowned, and I wasn’t sure if I should tell them the rest. They might think even worse about the pack than they already did! On the other hand, I haven’t lied to Oliver once since I met him, so why start now? Liam was dead, so who knows? Things might change for the pack now.“Well, every yule, I worked in the kitchens to help prepare the meal for the ranked wolves.” A soft growl escaped from Oliver and I rolled my eyes. “To the Omegas, it was just another day on the calendar, really. We got up, took care of our chores and went to bed. The only difference was that there was more work to do. More to cook and far more to clean up afterward. We served the ranked wolves a special meal to thank them for taking care of us and protecting us all year. After the meal, the ranked wolves were given gifts by the alpha and luna to thank them for t
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 25 - A hopeful future.
HelenaI didn’t feel right when I woke up. I felt weak and a little light-headed. I didn’t mention anything to Oliver, since I didn’t want to worry him unnecessarily. When I joined Oliver and his parents for breakfast, things felt different. Something in the air was different. It was almost … Lighter. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. I silently had breakfast while Oliver and his parents talked about the yule festival. It sounded so exciting.I just felt as though I shouldn’t get my hopes up too high. Our pack didn’t have lights. This pack did. Our pack didn’t give gifts to omegas and I had a shopping day planned with Athena to buy gifts for everybody. She made sure to tell me it included the omegas. It made me feel so much better to know. But still I didn’t want to get my hopes up.I couldn’t help but feel as if I caused most of the issues in Oliver’s pack at the moment. I felt guilty. I felt as if I didn’t deserve the kindness he and his parents were showing me. The servants were
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 26 - Helena is kidnapped!
OliverMy parents invited some of their old friends to join us in the hopes that if they gave us their support it would convince the last pack members to just accept the changes. Our guests arrive and by late evening the entire city is alive with celebration. Helena looks excited, and I feel so great to see her having fun. My people were just relaxing when the alarms sounded.I couldn’t believe the reports coming through our pack link! The werewolves, I thought, had returned home and were living their lives in peace … They were now rising up against me! All around us people were shifting. Some of the children screamed as their parents rushed them home. I noted the first wolf enter our city and I howled before shifting!“MOM! Take Helena with you! I don’t want one of us thinking she is the enemy!” I shouted through the pack link. Something told me that if I told Helena to go home, she wouldn’t listen. She seemed to get along well with my mother! I didn’t wait to see if Helena and my mo
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 27 - There was no hope left!
Oliver“Why are you asking, son?” My father frowned. I sighed. It would be no use to try and explain. I knew deep down that I had killed the guy. I was sure of it. There was no way he could have been behind the attack. My warriors were out looking for any leads. They were trying to find traces of tracks where I last smelled her scent, but so far there wasn’t much news.“They must have come after your mate because of you, Oliver.” King Alaric sighed deeply. “I don’t want to dredge up the past in front of my mate, but that was how we lost our daughter. Someone had a grudge, and we never found her again. We don’t even know if she’s alive or dead.” I knew the story well. Everyone did.King Alaric and Queen Jacqui’s daughter were taken right out from under their noses. The kidnappers took her right from her crib at night. By the time the night nurse realized, the scent was growing cold, and they couldn’t find her again.Queen Jacqui was a werewolf like my Helena. The king and queen were my
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 28 - Ripped apart.
OliverWe looked everywhere! I tore that bastard’s packhouse apart, but there was no sign of him or Helena anywhere. People were saying that my grief made me believe he was still alive. I killed him. He wasn’t there anymore, so he couldn’t possibly be behind this. The werewolves had declared war on us and I had to strengthen our borders. I have to think about my people right now.“Son, they took her for a reason. She is more valuable to them alive than dead.” My father patted my shoulder and I sighed deeply, nodding. The werewolves were coming for my people and protecting them had to be my priority. We were fighting werewolves on all sides of our borders, and I was beginning to wonder where the hell all of them came from.We were stronger and faster, but they outnumbered us four to one. That didn’t stop my people from fighting. It was either that or die. The war had come right to our doorstep, and it was what I originally tried to avoid. I should have killed all of them. When Helena b
