Return of the Legendary Lycan

Chapter 1

Ok, I guess I should tell you something about myself.  My name is Charlotte Sophia Valderez, most people call me Char, and I'm 15 years old today.  My wolf is Lottie and my Lycan we nicknamed 2.0, short for Lottie 2.0, since she is stronger and faster then my normal wolf.  Oh, did I forget to mention I'm ¼ Lycan, my dad's Mom was full blooded and that made Dad ½ and me and my older sisters ¼ Lycan. My grandma says that now that Lottie is out to play that 2.0 will grow more mature each year and when I hit 16 she will make her appearance at the time of my birth 1:22am, June 26th.  My wolf is silver like my dad's, my sister's have black wolves like Mama.  Mama is very sick and daddy says she can’t even hear us in her mind anymore when we try to reach her through the mindlink.  He says it won't be long and we all are so sad, Carlotta and Charlie, short for Charlene – hates that name, are crying all the time now.  Maybe that's why I was so lost in sorrow I didn't realize until I was surrounded that there was danger.  Suddenly, there are 5 he-wolves blocking my path.  I can tell 4 aren't over 18, but the last it's at least 24, he's one of the warriors of the pack my Dad trained.  They started taunting me about what they were gonna do to my body and how they were gonna enjoy hearing me scream in pain as they forcible rape me.  I scream for my Daddy in my mind and then Lottie takes over.  I should explain something, I take after my grandparents on my dad’s side more then my mom's.  So, I've been aware of my wolf and Lycan since my conception.  Yes, that's right I remember everything from the moment of my conception to right now.  I can remember my Mom having to make my Dad stop training the warriors just to get me to feed otherwise my baby eyes were glued on their movements and my wolves were remembering everything saving it for when they could come out to play.  Mom would put me in a swing on the porch and let me watch them or I refused to eat.  I was stubborn that way.  More on that later.

Anyway, back to the attack, I knew my Dad was coming to help, but Lottie didn't want to wait.  Before the punks knew what was happening, she had made my hands transform into her claws and raked the private parts 3 of the younger ones had hanging out, ripping their twig and berries off in the process.  The other 2 found that Dad and Uncle Edward, not really my uncle but the Beta and Dad's best friend, were suddenly standing behind them as Lottie continued to fight the first 3.  She grabbed the spines out of the 2 closest to her and then went for the heart of the 3rd.  Dad held the oldest attacker while Uncle Edward broke the neck of his 17 year old brother.  Daddy told me to run home, he and Edward were going to find out why this pervert got a squad together to rape me.  Daddy was the packs torturer, he could get any information needed without laying a finger on the prisoner.  Our family has the ability to enter someone's mind and see what they are thinking.  We can make them see things like their worst nightmares come to life.  I should clarify here, Daddy and I can do that, Carlotta and Charlie can only see into minds.  I am helping Charlie learn how to interject thoughts, so she could help others see different options.  She wanted to go into counseling as a career, and sometimes people need a kick in the pants to get on the right path.

So, Dad and Uncle Edward sent me home and Carlotta was not happy to see me for some reason.  I just shook it off as her being her and upset about Mama.  I went to my room and turned on Iron Man 2 and watched the scene where Black Widow fights through the hallway again for the 100th time this week.  I was determined to get those fight moves down despite my lack of height.  I moved onto the Avengers movie, where she fights while tied up to a chair, truthfully that looked easier to do but I didn't think Daddy would be very happy with me breaking the dining room chairs again.  Since it's still early I sneak off to my secret training grounds in an abandoned farm house closer to the territorial pack line.  I have it set up with everything I need to train like Daddy does with the pack warriors.  Dummy on one side for me to hit, kick and flip which weighs as much as a grown man and stands about 6”2 tall, same size as most of the warriors in our pack.  My targets were lined up on one wall, I used to learn hit center mass with daggers, knives and throwing axes.  I began with general exercises using various martial arts moves to warm up.  After that I switch to my jumping exercises, I'm trying to be able to get ahold of the beam at the top of the barn which is about 8 or 9 feet of the ground. I've come close a couple of times missing by like a foot at most, guess I need to get a bit taller or Lottie needs to put more hinder legs into it.  As I was about to start throwing knives, Dad's voice comes through my mind telling me to get home right now!  I shift into Lottie and rush home, man I love the feel of the wind against my muzzle as we run at top speed.  Shifting back at the door, I go inside and have to listen to a lecture about how the woods are unsafe at night and I shouldn’t be alone out there.  I know after what happened today on the way home from school I should be more careful.  Most girls would have gone and hid in their rooms afterwards, but I'm not like most girls.  I can fight and protect myself just fine, ok I might have needed a bit of help with the trained warrior but the four punks, and I could have taken all of them not just 3.  I'm not saying I'm upset that Daddy and Uncle Edward were close by and helped, I'm not cocky enough to think I know it all when it comes to fighting, and I'll accept help as needed.

Man, what a day!  I'm going to sleep like a baby tonight.  I slip into Mama’s mind to tell her goodnight and I hear her say “I love you, Char.  Please take care of them.”   Then I feel a coldness surround me, I scream for Daddy in my mind and hear him howling in pain.  I rush to his side and find Mama isn’t breathing anymore.  Not able to handle the pain I'm feeling from everyone in my family right now, my mind burst and I start looking for a safe haven to hide in.  In other words, I'm looking around for the calmest mind I can find or one that makes me feel safe. 

That's when I met him, Julius Warmder, his wolf Justin immediately knows I'm there. 

Justin: {Who are you?}

Char: {My name is Charlotte, but everyone calls me Char.  How do you know I'm here?  No one ever notices me when I slip in their minds?}

Justin: {I can feel you in here with me like we are connected. }

“Mate”   we both say it at the same time.

Justin: {Where are you?  Julius and I can be there by morning hopefully.}

Char: {I can't tell you, not yet. I'm still too young to have a mate.}

Justin: {How old are you, Char? I'm just turned 20 a few weeks ago.}

Char: {I just turned 15 yesterday.}

Justin curses: {Why in the hell did you connect with me then?  Why didn't you wait until your 16 like your suppose to?}

Char: {I didn't do it on purpose. (Crying softly) I just had a mind burst and found you.  I'm sorry (trying to hold back the tears is getting more difficult.) I won't bother you again.}

Before I can terminate the link, his voice changes and I know his human it's talking.

Julius: {Charlotte, what happened?  What's wrong, little one?}

Char: {My mom just died and I was almost gang raped today.  I couldn't take the pain anymore, I'm really sorry to have bothered you.  (Tears pouring down my cheeks in my mind and physically, too.)}

Julius takes me in his arms in our minds and just holds me, letting me cry until I can't cry anymore.  He can feel what each tear is for, my Mama, the attack, even the ones of regret for taking the life of 3 of my attackers. All of it comes rushing through me and he just lets me cry it all out on his chest.  Once I stop he continues to hold me and puts his hand under my chin to raise it up to look into his breathe taking eyes.

Julius: {None of this is your fault. Got that?  I'm so sorry your Mama passed, but you know now she's not suffering anymore.  She will always be with you, here. (He taps my chest at my heart). Nothing will ever change that.  As far as those punks go.  You saw in their minds what they were planning on doing to you and you know you wouldn't have survived it.  So, you and Lottie made the right call.  It was self defense, little one, not murder.  They got it easy in my opinion, my wolf and I would have made them suffer more first for trying to put their hands on my mate.}  

I smile at his possessive growl, I maybe young, but I know how mating bonds work.  I've helped 25 couples get together since turning 13.  I have the gift to smell when their scents match like apples and cinnamon.  I can't help myself when I smell a match, I have to let them know.

Julius: {Little one, your mind is wondering.  Come back to me.} 

Char: {Sorry, I do that sometimes.  Did you hear it?}

Julius: {Yes, all of it.  25 couples in 2 years. Color me impressed.  What pack are you with, little one?}

Char: {White Moon pack, you?}

Julius: {I'm part of the Lycan pack, Full Moon. Honey I'm going to fly to you with my mom and little brother first thing in the morning.  I want to be there for you during this.  So, I can hold you for real instead of just in our minds, k?}

Char: {Thank you, Julius.  Do you know where our pack is?}

Julius: {Yes, dear.  We keep track of all the packs in this country.  I'll mind link with you when we get close to landing, say about 10 minutes out.}

Char: {Ok, I'll bring Daddy’s truck to get you guys.}

Julius: {You know how to drive?}

Char: {I have been driving since my feet could reach the pedals, before that Daddy would let me sit on his lap and steer.  If it's got a motor, I can drive it and I can fix it.  Daddy's truck it's old, so I keep it running.}

Julius: {Good to know, little one, but I'll drive us back to your house from the airstrip, deal?}

Char: {You’re the boss. (Cheekily)}

Julius: {Just remember that, little one, and we won't have any problems ahead.  Now, all joking aside, you should be getting some sleep.  We should get there before 2nd meal, k?}

Char: {I'll go to bed now, thank you Julius.}

Julius: {Rest now, little one.}

He kissed the top of my head and we disconnected our link so we both could sleep. I climbed the stairs to my room and curled up into the smallest ball I could as tears started to fall again and cried myself to sleep.
