My name is Alyssa and when I turned sixteen my whole world turned upside down. My mother kicked me out, saying that if it wasn't for my father she never would have had me. At first I hunted for jobs, but no one would hire a sixteen year old lycan, so I knew that the only way I could earn money was to fight. I trained hard and became an underground fighter, saving up most of my money and only spending it on the necessary things like food and rent. You see, I still lived in the kingdom and when I turned eighteen I had earned enough money to buy a small house that was all mine. I lived in my little house for two great years, but I still wanted out of the kingdom, so a few days before my twentieth birthday I made plans to leave, even though I didn't have enough money yet. On the night before my birthday I went out with some friends, but it was a night out that I would regret because what happened next would have never come to be if I had just stayed home. I went out with some friends to a lycan club, to the human eye it was only a nightclub, but to us it was a club to have fun after a fight. I was talking to a friend of mine when I heard a loud growl, but we didn't think anything of it because that was normal there. Sometimes wefind our mates in a very weird way. I told one of my friends to hold my drink and went to the bathroom, but the next thing I knew the bathroom door was being knocked down. I was about to ask what the hell was going on and what the problem was, but this guy stood in front of me and his eyes turned from dark blue to glowing green. Holy s**t! This was the Lycan King. I bowed my head to him out of respect, but then I felt his fingers under my chin, lifting my head up to look at him. He leaned into me, inhaling my scent and my lycan, Alexa, was howling mate, he is our mate. He raised back up and looked into my eyes, but before I could say anything at all to claim him as my mate, he growled at me, demanding that I never tell a soul about us being mates. He wasn’t looking for, nor did he want a mate and if I told anyone I would be banished from this kingdom.
"I said, do you understand me, girl?” He growled at me and I nodded
"Yes, I understand.” I replied, hurt and angry. He nodded and stormed out of the bathroom just as my phone dinged, letting me know it was midnight. Happy birthday to me, I guess. I spent the rest of the night getting drunk, trying to dull the pain of not being wanted by the one person who was supposed to.
It has been over four years since that night and I was still fighting, trying to save up enough money so that I could leave this place. I came home one day with a note pinned to my front door, so I opened and read it.
"This is an invitation to let you know that this will be an all day and maybe all night event. The King is looking for his mate or a chosen mate, please be here in two days. If you do not come we will be knocking on your door asking why you weren't not here, See you there." I read out loud and let the letter fall from my hands. The last time we had met he told me to never tell anyone, that he didn't want a mate, that he wasn't looking for one. Was he doing this to see if I show up and if I do will he reject me or order me out of the kingdom? Well we will see what happens if he tries that s**t. f**k it, I'll reject him first, he didn't want me after all, so why should I care? But what if he wants to finally accept me? What will he do when he finds out what I do for a living? There is no way in hell that I will ever let anyone tell me what to do or order me around. Why is he having this mating thing when he knows I'm his mate? Is he expecting me to come? I guess we will all see what will happen.
