Chapter 41


    Chapter 41


    I watched as the tall Lycan strolled over to greet us both. He smiled and his teeth were a perfect shade


    of white. His skin was sun-kissed and he was muscr. He was tall, but still a bit shorter than Everest.


    He took my hand in his and smiled as he brought it to his lips. “It is nice to finally meet my cousins


    mate. News of a fated mate naturally traveled quickly through the Lycan territory.” He held my hand a


    little longer than I liked, so I pulled it away causing him to grin.


    I could feel my mates jealousy and anger begin to rise through our bond. I moved sol was closer to


    him, barely touching his arm and he settled easily. Even though he was family, his cousin was still


    unmated and an obvious open flirt. Not caring if this was his cousins fated mate or not.


    Most Lycans, because we live so much longer, it takes many years to find a mate Often though, if a


    lycan is of highermand, they will settle and mate with whoever they want and it is valled a chosen


    mate. When a Lycan does find a fated mate it is seen as a very special bond that is almost sacred in


    many eyes around the world. Lycan males are very possessive over their mates, more so fated mates


    than chosen mates. It doesn’t matter who the person is to them, hurt or touch their mate to their


    unliking and they would rip youpletely apart.


    “Avalynn, this is my third cousin Jeremy. He was a top warrior and my father granted him his own small


    pack as a job well done several years ago. He is one of our best Warriors and trainers that we have.


    Every Lycan Warrior under hismand is highly trained and extremely experienced onbat


    training. Which is why I nicknamed his pack the Lethal Lycans. Jeremy this is my mate Avalynn.”


    Jeremy smiled at me “I am the best warrior out of the Northern Territory, do not fear as you are very


    safe here. Not that you weren’t safe with this massive army by your side.” He smiled and then turned


    his attention to Everest. “Now, cousin let’s get my warriors and myself filled inpletely. We are all


    ready to hear if rumors are true?” He walked away and gave Everest the floor.


    I looked out at the crowd of men and women warriors who filled the empty space. They were defly


    scary to look at. Muscr, fast, and deadly. “They’re perfect.” Charlotte chimed in. “Absolutely blood


    thirsty, look at them all.”


    I agreed with her as I looked around the crowd that had gathered. Very deadly, very lethal. We turned


    our focus and listened to Everest tell the story of how we got here today and where we were headed.


    The crowd shifted and voices murmured after he was done talking. Suddenly volunteers stood out,


    pledging to fight with us.


    “I will fight for you!” One shouted. “We will not let the Rouge Royal destroy our Kingdom!” Another


    yelled.


    “He deserves to rot in the deepest pits of hell!” Someone yelled and that was enough for the crowd to


    roar to lifepletely. They were ready to fight. They were indeed blood thirsty.


    I stepped up and silence over took the crowd almost simultaneously, “Other packs will be meeting us at


    the Kingdom. We will be moving there and we need all of your help in leading them into a week of quick


    training. We need to be able to work together as one to be able to defeat Sir Brennon and the Royal


    Rouge!”I told the crowd.


    “You have thirty minutes. Get your essentials and be back here.” Everest told them and they quickly ran


    off to grab their things.


    “Cousin, I have a message that was sent for you just now. From the Southern Territory King Brent.” He


    handed him a note.


    “King Everest,


    Thave been having many issues reaching you today. I am pleased to tell you and your mate that


    Miranda has made a full recovery! We are now gettung ready to be on our way, with my warriors, to


    your Kingdom. We are expecting to arrive on Tuesday evening. I have reports that my brother is


    destroying packs all the way up the east coast. When I could not reach your phone today I figured you


    were heading to your cousins elite pack. I will see you and your mate on Tuesday Evening.


    Regards, King Brent.”


    Everest passed me his note and I read it. My heart filled with joy for Miranda. I was happy that she


    would soon be reunited with her niece, Cassie. I had also wondered if Cassie was keeping my brother


    and ire on their toes. A smile came to my lips at that thought.


    When I handed the note back to Everest he neatly folded it and put it into his pocket. I walked with him


    as my mind seemed to drift from different thoughts for the moment.


    I thought of the wolves that were with us currently, how they still seemed uneasy around this many


    Lycans. It was something we would have to address in traning, for sure.


    Tremember how we were told to be when we would have Lycanse to the pack. Never look them in


    the eye unless you’re speaking to them, they’re dangerous, too strong for a wolf to handle, they’re


    arrogant, and if given the opportunity they will push every button to make you angry to start a fight.


    Honestly, none of thay has been true but it was what we, well wolves, are told that Lycans do. Warrior


    Lycans may be different, we are muchrger and extremely confident at that, maybe its different


    because I am a Lycan myself? Maybe things will be different as we are working against themon


    goal, destroying the Royal Rouge.


    Il tened as Everest spoke on the phone with King Brent. He told him that we were going to be visiting


    the hospital where Trevor was to check on how his recovery was going. Then moving to the Kingdom


    the following day. We should be there at the Kingdom on Tuesday as well and if they get there before


    us to make themselvesfortable.


    I decided to send a link to Amber, even though I figured Jameson already done so, “Amber, we are


    moving more quickly than anticipated. If you want you can stay at the Kingdom or meet us it is up to


    you? If Trevor is well enough to move / n on moving him to be with his family.”


    “Thanks I will be here waiting for you all to arrive. Be careful. Need me to send your security there?”


    She asked me.


    “No, keep them there. Go ahead and start working on a schedule for all of us to work around when it


    comes to traning. We will have a full jammed pack week of training. Please keep me updated and tell


    my brother and ire / said hello. Be safe.” / told Amber and cut the link.


    I noticed that majority of the Lycans were back with still about ten minutes to spare. Jeremy must have


    been warned that they should be prepared to leave. We walked, Everes gave his speech and we all


    shifted, leaving their pack. We ran until we reached our first sto before we reached the Kingdom.


    We approached the territory and was met with the wolves who ran the perimeter line There was a lot of


    them too. This just so happened to be the second biggest wolf pack in o territory. My previous and now


    my brother’s wolf pack is thergest and strongest wolf pack in our territory.


    We made our way easily to the packs gathering area, there was a lot of us and the courtyard here was


    a bit small. We could of fit but there would have been zero room to move around.


    “Good Evening Camden.” Everest smiled and shook hands with the Alpha. “Good evening King


    Everest, Queen Avalynn.” Camden bowed his head.


    “Good afternoon.” I spoke softly. I took the time to look around as they spoke. Looking at the details


    andyout of where we were. It wasrge, beautifully decorated with floral designs around the entrance


    and exits, and had a modern look to the stone archways. I onl came back to the conversation at the


    mention of the pack hospital.


    “Oh yes, the would of been Alpha, Trevor. Poor fe, a shame what that bastard did to him. He is doing


    well considering all things that have happenednto him. Very well, really, with an extremely positive


    attitude and outlook. His arm is still trying to heal but that was a very bad wound as you both know.” He


    told us and I felt happy and excited to go see him. I wondered though if he would remember our


    conversation?


    “May we visit him after we get these warriors settled?” I asked and knew that I didn’t have to ask I could


    have just went and no one would have stopped me, but I wanted to give them respect that they very


    well deserved from us.


    He smiled at me and nodded his head. “Of course Queen Avalynn. I can take you both there if you


    would like me to? I have my Omegas on the way to help take them to different quarters and hotels.


    Vehicle amodation and bussing to make it a swifter transition.” He told us,


    “Sounds great, let me announce it even though they just heard you.” Everestughed, shook his hand


    and turned to the crowd. “Warriors, our gracious host has already set up  rooms and other


    amodations for you! Busses are currently on their way here to take you to your destination. Eat,


    shower, and rx for today and tomorrow morning. We leave tomorrow night. So please rest up before


    we travel. You may go to wait for your ride. See you all tonight at the feast.” Everyone departed and


    walked away, talking amongst theirself.


    I smiled and we happily followed behind him as it was just a short distance away fron where we were.


    As we rounded the corner I saw the massive cream colored hospital. It wa: five levels high, with several


    rooms. It had a separate wing that was only two stories high.


    We walked inside and got into an elevator. Everests took my hand in his. I looked at ou hands and back


    up to him and he smiled at me, I returned the smile as Camden pressed th


    third floor button.


    “From what the doctors told me yesterday about his arm, while it may be gone, it is doing well and


    healing up very nicely. He will have to have some physical therapy and hopefully, if he chooses to do


    so, he can have a prosthetic to better aide him. The physical therapy is just so he can get used to do


    every day tasks. It will be interesting though on hov that would effect his wolf side. We will see when he


    is allowed to shift once he heals. Hopefully his wolf doesn’t leave him.” He sighed.


    I watched as the elevator came to the third floor made a ding sound and opened. Whe we exited the


    elevator we were met by a white haired Doctor with a chart in his hands as h attempted to fix his


    sses to better read the paper that was in front of him. He looked up and went wide eyes and bowed


    his head immediately. “I am very sorry, I didn’t realize the King and Queen had arrived.”


    “It is fine, no worries you are very busy. Can you please take us to see Trevor?” Everest asked kindly.


    “Of course. He is up moving around his room after his shower. Let me make sure he is decent before


    we open the door to enter his room. This way, follow me please.” He walked quickly but I had noticed


    that he had a small limp, probably due to his age.


    When we reached the room the doctor knocked. After a brief moment I heard Trevor “Hold on please. I


    am trying to get my robe thing on.”


    “Okay Trevor let us know when you’re ready for visitors.” The Doctor told him.


    “Visitors? Who would be visiting me?” Trevor asked as he seemed to struggle with whatever her was


    doing,


    ced a hand on the doctors arm and stopped him from speaking. I talked to the closed door as if


    Trevor was there instead “I hope you didn’t think I would lie to you abouting for a visit and


    checking on you did you? It would be a shame if we stopped by here for nothing.” I smiled at the door.


    We heard shuffling around as he hurriedly done what he was doing. A he made his way to the door the


    sount got louder d soon the door flung open and there the teen stood in front of us baffled with his


    hospital gown hanging weirdly on him. The wounds along his face had healed fully and the deep cuts


    on his neck were nothing but a scratch now. The doctor stepped forward helping him with the gown and


    stepped back away from him.


    “I can’t believe it, I thought I was hallucinating you all. Oh oh oh!” He bowed his head remembering


    protocol.


    “Rx Trevor, no need for protocol. Can we visit you for a little?” He nodded his head and moved back


    to sit down at his bed.


    “I will leave you all to it then. You can find me at the Pack House.” Camden said to us.


    The doctor left the room with Camden and we sat in some chairs in Trevor’s room.


    “I really can’t believe that it was you. You both were there. I remember it. You rescued me, saved me


    and my brothers lives.” His eyes began to tear up. “I wouldn’t of made it if you didn’te help us.”


    “Shh. It is all okay. You are the hero Trevor. You saved your brothers lives. That is why we were


    wondering if you would like to be moved to the Kingdom when we leave tomorrow? Your doctor seems


    to think it is a great idea. Your Uncle is with us settling his men. I am sure he will be here to see you


    shortly. Your Aunt and cousins have been evacuated to the Kingdom and are with your brothers.” I


    smiled at him.


    “I would love to go and get out of here as long as it is okay to do so.” He told us. He looked at Everest.


    “Absolutely. We will make sure you have the best amodations and therapists to get you where you


    need to be. When we return we will do an award and medal ceremony following Avalynns crowning and


    mating ceremony.” Everest nced at me and smiled.


    Trevor turned his head and smiled “She already has your mark though. Remember? You don’t need a


    fancy ceremony to be Queen?” He grinned at me and I returned the smile.


    It was nice to see him in such good spirits. I was so happy that he was doing well and thriving.


    He frowned and looked over at Everest “I have heard the doctors talk. They said my wolf may leave


    me. What will happen to me if that happens?”


    Everest frowned at Trevor, clearly thrown by the question. He let out a small sigh and sat forward


    speaking directly to him, “We will worry about that, if that happens. I don’t want you worry, you will


    remaine in the Kingdom either way with a good paying job. The only thing I want you to worry about is


    getting better and getting your physical therapypleted. When do you turn 167”


    “What is today?” He asked. “Sunday.” I responded, “This week. On Wednesday.” He told us.


    “Now remember just because you turn 16 doesn’t mean you get your wolf then. It can take up to two or


    three months after. With your injuries it may be closer to three, but you never know.” I reminded him.


    “Okay. How do you know that?” He asked me.


    “I grew up in a Wolf Pack.” I smiled. “And you’re a Lycan?” He seemed shocked. “Yes, I was adopted


    by my wolf parents.” I smiled.

    “Sweet! That’s why you’re so awesome!” He told me and looked back at Everest “King Everest we are


    lucky to have an awesome realistic Queen.” He grinned at him.


    “I do believe you are correct. She is awesome.” He agreed.


    A knock sounded on the door as a tray of food was brought in to him. “This is yourst dinner of


    hospital food. Tomorrow morning you’re checking outta here. We will leave you now, eat and rest up


    please.”


    “Whatever you say! Thank you Queen Avalynn and King Everest. For everything, truly. I can’t wait to


    see you tomorrow.” He smiled and we walked out of the room.


    We made our way to the elevator and when we entered and the doors closed Everest let out augh “I


    do believe that young wolf has a crush on my mate.”


    I looked at him and frowned “He is just very grateful for us.”


    “Mmhmm sure. I know he is but..” He trailed off in an amusedugh and pulled me to him “He sees in


    you what I see, what you don’t see. A beautiful, kind hearted soul, with gorgeous features. Who is


    strong, protective, and caring. I am so lucky to be mated to you.” He kissed me softly and I returned the


    kiss.


    “Thank you.” I told him. Soon the elevator dinged and opened up, forcing us to let go of one another as


    we walked out. Trevor’s Uncle and Alpha was walking in. We stopped and had a quick talk with him


    and it was like a big heavy relief was lifted off his shoulders. He thanked us both and we walked to the


    Pack House.
