“Please…please spare me, I beg of you.” Riley cried, tears running down her cheeks, her whole body was trembling with fright.

There was fury in Shawn’s eyes as he got to his feet, “How dare you? I don’t see how this is any of your concern, back off!” he growled. 

 Lucas regarded him, the red eyes, the massive claws, and the air cocky emanating from him, he knew all about it.

“I don’t think a baby Alpha werewolf is any match for a Lycan King.” He said curtly.

Shawn’s eyes widened with realization and slowly he backed away, he knew he couldn’t take on a Lycan and when he saw a path, he turned and ran away after glancing one last look at Riley.

Lucas turned and looked at her, she was shaking with fright and when he bent to touch her shoulder, a massive wave flowed through him. Riley also felt the connection, it was a strong wave that tingled up her spine, stronger than what she had felt when she had met Shawn. She looked up at him and their eyes met, then he broke the gaze and helped her to her feet without saying a word.

He too had felt the connection, it was like…like a mate bond or something but he didn’t say anything, he didn’t want to jump to conclusions so suddenly with an absolute stranger.

“Come.” He said but she didn’t follow him.

 Riley hesitated, “Where are you taking me?” She asked.

“Somewhere safe, my pack. Now common, the forest isn’t the nicest place to be at this time.” He said and led the way, careful not to make contact with her so he wouldn’t feel that spark again.

He took her to his pack as a slave and ordered for her to be taken care of, his Beta came to him and asked ‘what' he had brought home.

“A girl, I found her during the invasion of the Greenwoods pack.” He replied flatly and headed up to his room.

He thought about the girl all night, wondering why he had felt such a connection and why his body felt uneasy. There was a need to please him that he seldom felt and he stirred continuously in his bed until he drifted into an uneasy sleep.

Riley, for the first time in weeks, slept like a baby. She had showered and dinner had been brought in a trolley to the bedroom where she had been kept. It was some treatment for a slave, she had been given the impression that she had been captured as a slave but yet, she was treated otherwise. Riley thought everything about her was wrong, she had felt the bond with the ruthless Alpha, Shawn, and now, she felt the same connection with the Lycan king, only that this one was stronger. Her mind was in turmoil, but she couldn’t stop thinking about the Lycan king, the way he had saved her, and the careful way he had treated her. She didn’t know what to make of that, maybe he had felt what she felt too, she slept well that night, as sound as a baby.

The next morning, a soft knock sounded on the door of Riley’s bedroom and two maids walked in.

 “The Lycan King, Lucas, demands your presence.” One of them said while the other walked into the bathroom and set a hot bath for her.

She came out a minute later and said, “Your bath is ready, while you bathe, we will pick a dress for you.” She said briefly and Riley nodded, quite startled by the treatment.

When she came out, they had left the room, a black dress with red roses scattered all over it was placed on the bed. Riley slipped into it, made sure her hair didn’t look too bad in the full-length mirror, and headed out of the bedroom. There she met one of the maids who led her to a verandah. Lucas sat there, smoking sweet-scented tobacco and staring ahead at a pond close by.

At her arrival, he turned and flashed a smile at her, revealing a perfect set of glittering white teeth. Riley got a better look at him and she caught her breath, he was magnificent! Lucas was a tall, well-built man with the handsome face of a Greek god, he had thick black hair and a thin line of beards stretched across his chin and face. A long nose and radiant blue eyes that shone with a dazzling luminosity.

“Take a seat, breakfast?” He offered and gestured to the table that was stacked with different kinds of food.

Riley realized that she was very hungry indeed and bowed her head as she sat down. As she ate, he stared at her and that made her a little bit uncomfortable and she found it difficult to eat freely.

“What were you doing out there at such a dangerous time?” He asked finally.

 She panicked and her eyes darted around, but she concealed her emotions successfully. She didn’t know how he would react if she disclosed that she was from the pack his people had just raided and destroyed.

 “Oh, I lived close by there, I was out searching for…searching for some herbs.” She replied, not meeting his eyes while she buttered another toast. “I’m just a commoner.”

He brooded on what she just said, “So you mean, you don’t belong to a pack or have a mate?” he asked, his curiosity winning over his dignity.

She shook her head, “No, I do not have a mate.” She replied it was the best thing to do at that moment, she thought.

“So how about the werewolf that attacked you?” Lucas asked, feeling an awkward attraction to her as he watched her so innocently and shyly dig into another toast. “He was just a rogue that wanted to take advantage of me,” Riley replied, fearing that her lies were beginning to add up. “I was scared silly, thank you for saving me.” She added meekly.

Lucas smiled to himself, she didn’t have a mate and he was thrilled and excited by that fact. He felt pity towards her, it was never a pleasurable experience for a commoner to be attacked by a mystic creature such as an Alpha werewolf. Again, that connection he had felt the previous day surged through his body now, he loved looking at how beautiful she was. He had never seen one more beautiful than she was, at that point, he discarded the thought of ever making her a slave.

  • The Lycan's Mate.   CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE

    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

  • The Lycan's Mate.   CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE

    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

  • The Lycan's Mate.   CHAPTER EIGHTY

    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
