A Luna for the Lycan King novel Chapter 41

It took two weeks for all the species representatives to arrive. Two anxious weeks while the neutral village of Lyionette remained under the vampires‘ control. I knew Darren didn’t like waiting to act, but at the same time, this was bigger than one village. What was being formed right now was a unity for the

future.

Ivan had gone to get the last representative. I didn’t know we were missing anyone, but he said this person was very important.

I glanced over at Lyle as he walked me down the hall. “Should I * really be attending this meeting? I feel like I’m not the crowned

queen yet, so it might not be appropriate.” I listened as Lyle laughed.

“Two things, ‘princess‘,” he said, winking at me. “One, you’re the king’s marked mate, and we’re just waiting for the formalities to make you the official queen. And two, Darren wants you there … he needs you there. I think you’re one of the most important people to be there, to make sure Darren doesn’t lose his temper and cause a war among all the species.” He chuckled..

I looked down at my white dress and took a deep breath. I was a little bit anxious, but also excited to see so many different species in one room. I wondered if I would be able to tell wh they were in their human forms.

“Did you hear about Cleo?” Lyle asked. He knew I already knew but was trying to keep me busy.

him how she was just using him. Maybe there isn’t a happily ever after in her future. She would really need to change and try to make things work. As it is now, she has ruined things with everyone.”

“Serves her right. You keep spreading shit and it’s only a matter of time until you step in it yourself.” Lyle let out a breath. “You know, before you showed up, I was trying to figure out a way to get her out. I knew she couldn’t be a good mate to Darren. Nothing about her is queen material. All she wanted was the attention and praise. She is a horrible person.”

“I’ve been curious about your deep–rooted hate toward her but didn’t want to pry.” I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes as we continued to walk down the hall. “There is a story there … right?”

“Maybe there is and maybe there isn’t.” He smirked. “In either case, we have arrived and there is no more time for gossip.” He held out his elbow. “My lady, I am to escort you to the king.”

“They’re all inside, huh?”

“Most of them. I don’t think Ivan has returned yet. We’re just waiting on him.”

I placed my hand on his elbow, feeling the nerves in my stomach fluttering. Man, I felt more anxious than I thought I was. I didn’t even think I was nervous, but my queasy stomach told me otherwise. “I’m ready … I think.” I breathed out.

“You’ve got this.” Lyle grinned at me and stepped to the door. As he did, the guards opened it. A man inside announced us and we stepped inside. My eyes scanned over all the people seated

weaker than me and some stronger. I thought my nerves were going to get the better of me until my eyes landed on his. His green eyes were smiling as he looked at me. I felt my heart quiet down just looking at him.

Lyle led me around the left bend of the table, taking me to Darren, who sat at the end of the far side of the bend.

“So you are the future queen.” A voice said from one of the seats we passed, causing me to stop. I turned to address the stranger. It was an old man, with white hair, brown eyes with golden flecks, and light stubble over his chin and cheeks. He had a warm energy flowing from him. A white light that seemed to glow over his body. I had a comfortable feeling from him.

“I guess I am.” I smiled with a small shrug.

“Well, I feel better about this whole thing now.” His lips curled up in a wide grin. “You are special and will bring prosperity to the lycans. We will have to chat sometime. Maybe when there isn’t an urgent meeting going on.” He chuckled.

“I’d like that.” I felt something strange from him. It wasn’t evil, but I could feel it … like it was searching my body. I looked at him curiously and I noticed his eyes widened curiously.

“You can feel that?” he asked.

“Yes,” I whispered.

…

“Interesting very interesting.” I take it that you can hear me just fine. Don’t speak, just blink.

I blinked, wondering what this was all about.

4/6 I don’t want to alert your mate, so you need to continue on your way. But princess … you are pregnant, Congratulations, we will talk soon.

I felt my heart start to race again. Immediately, I was all of the emotions. Happy, excited, nervous, overjoyed, and terrified. And then the reality of everything hit. I was pregnant and war was imminent. If I tell Darren I’m pregnant, he won’t let me come and help.

I nodded my head and squeezed Lyle’s arm. He walked with me, but I could see his gaze studying me.

Are you okay? Did he do something to you? Your body feels

anxious.

I’m fine. I can feel all of their energy, and it is overwhelming, but I’m okay. It was the truth, but it also wasn’t. I had to get myself under control and not tip Darren off. We needed to focus on this meeting and saving Lyionette.

.

“Ally.”

I glanced up, not expecting to see Darren standing directly in front of me. Without hesitation, he reached out and gently pulled me away from Lyle’s grasp. My heart raced as he held me tightly against his chest, the comforting warmth and familiar scent helping to alleviate my racing heart. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths, trying to regain control of my emotions

My love, did that fairy upset you?

No, I’m fine. There are just a lot of different energies in this
