Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 35

I watched as Sarah struggled with her slim choices. It was either one or the other. It would be a choice of life or a choice of death. There was absolutely no way I would allow her to live if she chose the path to death. I would end her life before her father stepped a toe into this kingdom.

That was something else I would want to handle immediately. He will not get away with that one. If I had it my way, I would strip him of everything and put him in the cell next

to her. I felt my anger rising inside but outside I appeared to be calm and collective. I saw Everest glance at me and shift his weight. I knew he could feel my anger starting to build through our connection. Sarah was quiet for too long and I was growing tired and annoyed.

“You have about two seconds to answer before you seal your own fate!” My voice sounded cold, harsh. “Please do not interrupt my kindness extended to you previously as a weakness. I know someone of your stature is not used to living in such poor and uncomfortable conditions. Make no mistake that I won’t walk out of this cell with my mate and never look back. So, will you give us the information we are looking for or will you sign your own death?” | glared through her as if she was the gum on the bottom of my shoe. As spoke to her my words became a jagged edged sword. I got more angry with every word that left my mouth my voice showed exactly how annoyed I was. Sarah began to shrink back into her cell, stumbling over the uneven floor as she backed up.

“Yes.” She said. “Yes?” Everest asked her.

“I will give you the information that I have or what I saw.” She had her head down, looking at her feet.

“Clean yourself up, eat, drink. We will move you to a more comfortable cell. I will supply you with a pen and paper and you will write to your father telling him to stand down, you’re fine, and in this letter you

will confess your crimes. I will take a photo of this letter to keep for my own records. I will also read the letter to make sure you’re not saying anything

else other than that and pleasantries. If you attempt to double cross me, it will be your death.” He looked at her, rage and hate laced his words. Sarah looked at him with tears in her eyes, holding them back the best she could.

Her voice trembled as she knew it was over with him “I won’t double cross you. I swear it.” She looked over to me “I am very sorry.”

I didn’t say anything to her, just looked at her. Moments later the guard arrived with the items I requested. I swore I heard her stomach growl as she looked at the large sandwich on the plate.

“We will leave you for now. You will be moved in a few hours to a more comfortable cell. Tomorrow we will discuss your terms and our conditions.” I told her as Everest reached for my hand. I took his hand and let him lead me out of the cells.

When we reached the main security office I requested a tour of the better cells.! wanted to make sure there was a silver barred window for her to look out of, a accessible toilet area and a bed. It didn’t have to be cozy and comfortable, just livable. She would be escorted twice daily for a walk and would be expected to help cleaning hospital rooms. She would never have less than three security team members while she was out. This would be a slow process and not everything would be immediate. One slip up and it all gets taken away.

I thought about this the entire was up and when we walked into his office I sat down. I looked over at him and he was flustered. “I don’t know, what to do.”

“Well, what about we move her and allow her to write the letter to her father first?” | sat back in the chair.

“Okay. Yeah, I mean after that.” He sighed.

“I feel like we need to wait until we get his response before we move forward with whatever plans we cone up with. Then we might be able to give her supervised walks, maybe cleaning hospital rooms. All of these, of course, will be heavily security detailed.” | watched his facial expressions as he contemplated my ideas.

“Hmm, those are some good points and ideas. I will take them into consideration.” He wrote them down on a post it note.

“This may take weeks or months to implement. She is definitely going to have to prove herself and her worth.” I leaned my head back and looked at the ceiling. I heard Everest -move in his chair and yawn. “We need to discuss when we will have our ceremonies as

well.”

groaned “When all this ends.”

“Agreed. I am just catching heat from the council about you not being crowned and not being one with our territory even if you are marked. You have no direct line of communication with anyone except me. Well, you can tap into their thoughts but they can’t hear you.” His chair squeaked and I looked over to him.

“Maybe we should have the ceremony tomorrow. It can be small intimate with just us who is here.” I suggested.

“I’ll arrange it then.” He picked up his phone, dialing a number, and told whoever was on the otherside the plan. I needed to find a suitable dress, nothing fancy but work casual at the least.

I stood and walked over to Everest, leaning down and kissing him on the mouth.” need to pick out an outfit for tomorrow. Want to help?” I smiled and he nodded his head. “I have a bunch of work attire dresses I just don’t know which to pick.”

We walked up to our room together and went straight to the closet. He threw himself across the bed and got comfortable. When I walked into the closet I picked out seven of my favorites, bringing them outside to show him. I looked over at him and his head was resting on his arm that was propping him up.

I started showing them and he narrowed it down to three. I went to put the others up and tried on the rest. After much deliberating we chose a soft yellow dress with a black blazer. The dress was knee length and had a flattering fit. I felt sophisticated in it. I paired it with small silver earrings, black heels, and a slim silver bracelet. I walked out and looked at Everest and his smile widened.

“You look absolutely breath taking. Definitely look like you’re going to conquer anything that comes your way.” He grinned as he sat up in the bed.

I smiled over to him as I turned around to show off the dress more. I walked away to the closet and removed the clothes, hanging them back up. I put on my other clothes as I heard someone knocking frantically on the door.

“What is it?” Everest asked as a warrior was breathing frantically at our door.

“I am sorry sir but I ran here to tell you there has been an attack on one of the smaller packs. We believe it to be Dexter. He is trying to conquer our territory and gain numbers. His movements look to be heading in the direction toward the Eastern territory along the coast.”

I walked out frowning “You are certain it is Dexter?” I asked.

“Yes ma’am. Spotters have confirmed it to be him and his army of Lycans and Wolves.” He had a nervousness in his voice and my heart ached for our people who were suffering.

“Thank you, call a meeting with the top warriors and set up a video conference with King Brent this evening. We need to try to get any information we can.” The warrior bowed and left immediately to do as he was instructed.

– “Everest, I wonder if Miranda is okay? We need to make sure to ask while we are talking with him. I am sure she is missing Cassie terribly.” He nodded his head.

“I need to adjust your ceremony into the pack to tomorrow morning, we may have to leave in the afternoon.” He rubbed his face.

I wanted to rip off Dexters head and separate it from his body entirely. He is absolutely insane and not thinking clearly. Which, from what I can tell, he hasn’t thought clearly ever in his life. Jealousy is not a good look on him, or anyone for that matter.

I pulled out an older, and I am sure an out dated map of our territory. I really wasn’t up to speed and wanted to be able to visualize where he was going or headed. I didn’t hear him come up behind me but I could feel his body heat radiating off of him.

“What are you doing, love?” He asked, peering over my shoulder.

“I am trying to see where we can go to cut him off? Or just where we need to go in general.” I searched the map and sighed.

“I see. Well, I don’t want you going. It is too dangerous.”

I turned and looked at him. Was he seriously not going to let me help my people? No.

“Oh, I am going. I am going to help our people and do what I can to save them from this mad man.” I challenged him and he frowned.

“I just can’t risk losing you again.” His head hung then.

“Then stay by my side and I’ll stick to yours but I am going.” I felt Charlotte’s courage and her cheering me on.

“Fine, but stay close to me when we are out there.” He had an unhappy look on his face.

“I will? trust me.” I wrapped my arms around him in a hug. “Thank you.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
