Mated To The Lycan King

changed fate

(Theresa's Pov)

I felt a hand touch me and I raised my head to look at the person only for me to see myself staring at the most handsome man I've ever seen in my life. Damn! His blue ocean eyes bore into mine while the sweet smile curled on his lips gave me a bit of coolness.

His blonde hair fell on his shoulder with his exclusive robe that hung neatly on his body and I got lost gazing at him because he was so beautiful. "Who is this man?" I thought to myself as I found him looking familiar like someone I have met before. Yet, I tried not to think hard. How could I have met someone so good looking like this? It was impossible.

He suddenly gave me an assuring smile and carried me up to my feet which was surprising because everyone who came across me, hated me. It was my oblivion. So, seeing him care for me was something I couldn't explain. What was he up to?

I felt the need to appreciate him and I let out, "Thank you…" I didn't complete my statement when he suddenly pulled me into a hug while I heard those watching gasped along with me. We were all shunned to see someone like an Alpha hug me of all people.

Just when I decided to pull away, he nudged me back to himself. This time, he lowered his head to my neck area and I felt his tongue trail my neckline. The moment I flinched in sensation, I felt his sharp canines dug into my skin and I let out a loud excruciating cry from the pain that coarse through my entire body. Was I just claimed?

Blood gushed out of my neck as he pulled away but I felt so weak and my knees become so numb that I found myself flaunting down, my eyes shut closed. However, he was quick to catch me and I fell into his arms, tears streaming down my eyes with the thought that I already lost my life. The claim was so painful that I couldn't even lift a finger. Why the hell did he have to claim me?!

His voice came resounding into my ear and it gave me assurance that I wasn't dead yet. "I'm sorry if it hurt badly," he apologized and I felt the urge to slap him. If it hurts badly? Of course it hurt as hell, i***t!

I tried to speak but my mouth wouldn't open up to say a word, to tell him how the claim really affected me. I never knew it was this bad because I haven't been claimed before, Ian refused to mark me.

I didn't pay attention to the voices going around until I heard Ian yell from where he was, "How dare you claim her?!"

"Take him away!" the handsome man commanded and I heard Ian fighting to get away with whosoever was pulling him away just like the stranger had told them to. "Are you okay?" He requested and when he didn't get a response from me, he raised me up from the ground into a bridal style and began to walk away to who knows where.

My eyes were still closed and all I could hear were pack members mumbling in confusion. The same way I didn't know who had claimed me was the same way they were also bothered. It was unusual. A handsome man had come to save a slave in the hands of her mate then he ended up claiming her? What good news for the pack.

I sat up from the bed I found myself waking up from and I let my eyes roam around the whole room. The room was large and very conducive, good interior design and well equipped, I wondered where I was. "Where am I?" I asked no one in particular but someone answered me.

"You don't have to panic, you're in a safe place." I swirled my head to the other side and I saw one of the pack house maids entering the room with a tray of meal, I guess, with the delicious aroma that filled the room.

"What am I doing here?" I asked her, still bothered, on why I was in a room meant for rich people or maybe Alphas.

She got to me in no time and placed the tray on top of a stool beside the bed where I sat on then she looked up at me. "Have you forgotten?" The moment she asked me that question, I felt some stinging pain around my neck as I twisted my head to look over my shoulder where the pain was coming from. Then I remembered, I was claimed.

"You have to shower now, the Lycan King will be here to pick you up soon," she relayed and I arch my eyebrows at her.

"What do you just say? Lycan King?" I questioned, needing a quick answer from her but as she opened her mouth to say a word, the door was pushed open and I saw the figure of someone entering. On getting close, I remembered his face to be the one who had claimed me.

I sprang up immediately from where I sat and took slow strides to where he stood, already waiting for me to come at him. "You… you… How dare… you claim me?" I sputtered trying to sound aggressive but my voice only came out solemn and I hated myself that minute. Why must I be a fool to be unable to defend myself?

The handsome man closed the distance between us and uttered, "You need to be calm now. You'll be fine soon," he whispered gently to me and it pained me that I couldn't push him away. I seemed too connected to him that I felt pushing him away from me was losing something in me. "Get her dressed up," he referred to the maid and I felt her come forward and tried to hold me but I was quick to snap her hands off me, gripping the stranger on his robe. I wasn't ready to let go of the warmth I was feeling from him. "You can leave. I'll take care of her myself," he finally said after my refusal to leave him alone.

"Yes, your highness," the maid said with much respect and I raised my eyebrows.

"Your highness?" I found myself asking and he pulled me away, nodding his head at me.

"I will explain that later to you."

I sat beside the stranger in front of the Alpha of my pack in the throne room, my head bowed in respect. I had no idea why I was there but something told me it was because I was claimed by a stranger. Well, I felt better that the Alpha had decided to handle the situation because I had no idea why the stranger had to claim me.

After a long pause, Alpha Nicholas spoke up, "King Lucian. I asked to see you for something important but you eventually came to my pack to find a mate?"

King Lucian? I raised my head instantly to look at the person who was referred to as King Lucian and I saw him chuckling at what Alpha Nicholas told him. "King? He's a king? Is he the Lycan King everyone had been talking about?"

"It's an honor to be here, Alpha Nicholas. Thank you for inviting me, I finally found someone worthy to be my mate," King Lucian stated and my gaze didn't leave him. I hope it was not what I was thinking.

"But, Alpha Lucian?" Alpha Nicholas suddenly called, his facial expression looking sad then he shifted his gaze to look at me and I immediately lowered back my head. I dare not look at the Alpha. "Aren't you bothered about her pregnancy? It's an illegitimate child?" Alpha Nicholas questioned and I didn't know when I raised my head to look at the Lycan King who was already gazing largely at me.

While staring at each other, he asserted, "I don't mind. She is mine now, the child will be mine too."

Alpha Nicholas didn't say anything to what the Lycan King was saying and it gave me a doubt that something was likely wrong. There was something I should know.

As if he read my thoughts, King Lucian turned to me and gave me the most shocking news of my life. "Theresa, you are now my queen and you're coming along with me to my pack."
