A Luna for the Lycan King

1/6

Chapter 35

Savage snarls reverberated through the air, drowning out all other sounds. Clumps of fur were ripped and thrown in all directions, a gruesome dance of carnage as blood sprayed through the air. The hungry frenzy showed no signs of relenting, as teeth gnashed and sharp nails raked across fur in a primal display of violence.

I wanted to help … maybe I could use my gifts I got from Darren? But the searing pain brought me to my knees. I cried out in pain. It felt like my stomach was being ripped apart. Everything blurred in and out. The room was muffled momentarily. As my hearing came back, I realized I didn’t hear the sound of fighting anymore. I glanced up to see a pile of lycans laying on the ground. Standing next to them was Lyle’s brown lycan. He turned and looked at me.

Our eyes met as I let out a shuddering breath. The pain was like nothing I had ever experienced. I thought Alfred’s infidelity was bad, but this was far worse. I rested my cheek on the cold stone floor, watching as he stepped closer toward me.

I could see the blood dripping from the wounds on his body. His mouth was covered in blood that wasn’t his own. He was frothing at the mouth, but the froth was red with blood. Was I going to have to fight him?

“Lyle.” I whispered hoping to see any recognition in his eyes. My breath shuddered, and a soft cry escaped my lips as I tried to sit

I forced myself into a sitting position so I could see his face. His eyes were dark and I knew that his beast was in control.

“I’m not your mate Lyle. I’m not your chosen or your fated. Remember, you’re waiting for them.” I heard his chest rumble with a low growl. His eyes were fixated on me, but he didn’t come any closer.

“Lyle, it’s going to be okay. We just have to hold out a bit longer.” I watched his ears twitch, as his paw inched toward me. “I don’t want to hurt you so please stay back.” I could feel my hand tingling and burning as if something was about to happen.

His eyes remained fixated as he stepped toward me. Lyle was not there and I knew I had to protect myself. “I’m going to protect us both.” I whispered as an electric surge shot out through my hand. It rushed over the ground and attacked Lyle, throwing him to the ground. I don’t know what it was or how I did it. My body just seemed to respond to the threat.

I didn’t want to hurt Lyle, but I didn’t belong to him. And Lyle wanted to wait for his person. Somehow, I was going to have to hold him at bay until we were found. His beast rose back to his feet, his gaze once again fixated on me. Suddenly, the walls trembled and one exploded, sending bricks of rock all over the place. Darren stepped into the room, and immediately Lyle’s beast growled at him.

“There is not a lycan alive strong enough to challenge me. Especially when it comes to my mate. Step back, Lyle, or be

ripped apart.” Darren growled, his eyes darkening with his beast.

“Dare.” I whimpered, reaching my hand toward him. I needed to touch him. I couldn’t take this pain anymore. His eyes softened as he stepped toward me. Lyle’s cars flattened, baring his teeth at Darren. He wasn’t willing to give up the female, which proved he was lost to the rut.

“Don’t hurt him.” I begged, seeing Darren’s fangs begin to grow. I listened as he growled, but then his eyes landed back on me, softening as they locked onto mine.

“Lock him up, and the others. They need bound until they

he wasn’t alone. Dozens of soldiers rushed into the room. Silver chains flung through the air, binding all of the lycans, including Lyle.

“Lyle.” I groaned as a wave of pain tore through me.

“Shh, he will be okay. He needs to be confined until he returns to normal,” Darren cooed to me. His warm, heavenly arms scooped around my body, which immediately responded to his touch. “She is my mate. Remember that, and fight against your instincts.” He suddenly growled, snapping his head toward some of the younger soldiers. Just because they weren’t rutting didn’t mean that a female in heat didn’t arouse them. I wasn’t sure what he sensed, but he quickly put them in their place.

“Too many unmated soldiers.” Heath clicked his tongue as he secured Lyle’s chains. “I have this situation under control.”

Darren nodded his head and then looked back into my eyes. “I know it hurts. It’s going to be okay,” he murmured softly, kissing my damp forehead.

“How did you find me?” I sniffled as he carried me out of the room. I heard Lyle’s ferocious roar in protest, but I was quickly taken to another room where I could no longer hear him. He carried me up a long stairway that I had never seen before.

“I heard your muffled voice. It barely came through, but I knew you needed me.”

I curled against his body as tingling pain and pressure shot through me. My underwear was soaked as I became desperate with need. I wanted to talk to him and tell him everything, but I could barely manage a few words at a time.

My nose was pressed against his shirt and I greedily inhaled his scent. “Dare,” I moaned, pressing my breasts against him.

“I know. Gods, trust me, I know. I’m hard as a fucking rock right now. All I can smell is your heat and arousal. Damn, it’s all I can do to get us to the room.”

“I can’t wait any longer,” I panted, feeling a cool breeze from somewhere.

“Fuck,” he groaned, as he slid his hand up my dress. He felt my soaked underwear and immediately growled. “Close enough.” He stepped out onto a small balcony, pushing the curtain shut. He lowered me to my feet, holding me with one arm while his

hand fumbled with his pants. I heard them swoosh to the floor, and then he pushed me to the stone railing. “Put your hands on it,” he commanded as he lifted up my dress. The cold air attacked my legs as he slid my soaked underwear down.
