The Lycan King's Luna

Chapter 2:

Elle ...pov

I finally get home, and the first face.., more like chest, I see is my brother's, he pulls me into a tight hug.

“Missed you little bug.” He said in a low voice. His hug pulling at my heart strings and making me relax into him.

My heart swelling as I picked up the scents of my siblings and their mates, everyone one was home, but who was this mystery supernatural, that could bring my entire family together for dinner.

My mum was in her element with a full house.I love my family, they are my only constant, and I know I can always rely on them, no matter what.

but I like to keep to myself.

I buried my face in his chest and whispered, "I missed you too, donkey. " Ruffling up his hair. He laughed heartily.

I got out of my brother’s embrace and smiled shyly at his mate Wanda, who was hovering behind him

Wanda is a Lycan and because of her my brother is now a Lycan.

“Hey kiddo.”

“ Hey dad,” I said hurriedly kissing him on the cheek, before rushing to the stairs,that leads to my bedroom.

The intention is to freshen up before the mystery guest arrives.

I had twenty-five minutes left to get ready.

As I turned to head up the stairs, Renee called out to me.

"Hey you, come give me a hug, real quick."

A quick hug wouldn't hurt right? I mused as I hugged her.

"Wow, look at you, you've grown taller." She said her eyes twinkling with excitement.

"Yeah right, so did Chucky." My brother deadpanned, and everyone laughed.

I made a face at him as i shook my head in disapproval before racing to my room.

I chuckled as I heard mom chastising Patrick for calling me the name of that hideous evil doll.

In my room, I noticed my dinner dress, undies and shoes were already set on my bed as I wriggled out of my clothes.

After taking a quick shower, I put on the lime green dress, stretched my hair, slipped on my glasses, and the low block heeled shoes.

I would have used my braces tonight, but mum had begged me not to. So no braces.

I just finished applying my pink lip gloss, when I heard a car pull up to our drive way, the mystery guest has arrived.

I rushed down the stairs and stood by my mother.

“Good timing sweetheart.” Mum praised me, her eyes breeming with pride, a soft smile playing on her lips.

I nodded and smiled back at her, as father opened the door and welcomed our guest.

I did a double take as my eyes fell on my suitor.

I was frozen in shock when I recognized, the man who had requested me as his chosen mate.

No Freaking Way !!!

It was Gordon Weissman, the most dangerous wolf in all of Brentwood.

My mouth fell open in shock and my heart thudded in fear. I couldn't tell if my family could sense my fear. I suspected that they were at the very least intimidated by the man. But then I was too distracted by my fear to notice anything.

No wonder my sisters were flown in with their mates for just dinner, with a proposed mate.

This isn’t freaking happening, It can't be, I told myself with my panicked inner voice.

I stood stiffly and went through the introductions in auto mode.

I had met Gordon once before in my life, when I was twelve and I had run for my dear life only to run straight into him, my glasses landing a few feet’s away from my stinging bum.

I would never forget that experience, the man put the fear of the devil in me.

Gordon is the beta of the Royal Ridge pack. He is also the cousin of the alpha.

In Brentwood, he is notoriously known as the most vicious and cruel wolf alive. And I have had the unfortunate opportunity to see him in action.

People talk and some say because Gordon’s mother was a witch, she gave him other powers, hence he was able to harm his mate without feeling the pain of her loss or going mad as the case should have been.

People say he killed his true mate,of that I am sure. but the official story is she'd died from complications during child birth.

Others say he has a black heart, burnt and scarred and that has made him lack any type of feeling, towards others.

The man himself is a handsome devil, and despite his fearful reputation, women fight each other to be in his bed, Lycans inclusive.

His blonde hair, lean face and red lips makes him look a vampire.

But his tall bulky frame let's you know that he is not a man, one can mess with.

He is rich enough to buy my entire pack, but there is no way I will become his mate, of that I am certain.

Death would be a mercy for me, if that happens, but the mating isn't going to happen, Ever!!

When dealing with men like Gordon, a straight out No, wouldn’t be well received , it would be a fools tactic, equivalent to waving a red flag in front of a bull. So I would have to be coy in my rejection.

As we ate dinner, I noticed his eyes would sometimes rest on me, but I focused on my plate, as if the fate of the world relied on me finding a micro organism in it.

Nothing was going to make me. Look at him, until I remembered that if I refused to look at him, he would sense my rejection.

So I took in a long shaky breath, swallowed a lump in my throat, and looked up.

I caught Patrick's slightly worried gaze, but gave him a sly smile, then purposely got caught stealing a glance at him.

" Your work at Brentwood inc, is okay right?" He asked.

I nodded, then squeaked out a "yes" when I caught my mother's glare.

He seemed to relax a little more after he caught me, stealing a glance.

I cut off a small smile threatening to stretch my lips a little. And bent my head to focus on my food again, when he asked another question.

" Elle, since You have no wolf, do you have any wolf traits?"

Elle has all the abilities of a wolf, just no wolf." Dad answered .

He glared at my dad, in a silent warning to let me answer for my self. Dad reluctantly nodded his acquiescence at him.

Mom shifted uneasily in her seat.

I instantly lost my appetite, his reaction made me nauseous. In my heart of hearts, I wondered if this was part of the punishment, the moon goddess had lined up for me, for my unknown crime.

This was the last thing in life I would have ever dreamt of, I wouldn’t even wish Beta Gordon on my biggest bullies.

The food now tasted like wood and cardboard, as I moved it around my plate.

After dinner, we were ushered into my father's study, so we could talk.

“Hello, Elle.” He said.

“Hello.” I said awkwardly in response, fear and disgust crawling all over my skin, like insects.

The steep reality of my situation just dawning on me, I don't think there is anything my alpha can do to save me from this monster of a man.

My hands were shaking but I hid them, behind me.

“ Let me explain your role to you Elle, I need pups and I need a mate to get that. Since my true mate is dead, I need a chosen mate. That’s where you come in." He paused.

I nodded.

" I have chosen to mate with you.

In two weeks we would perform the mating and bonding ceremonies, and you would move to my pack and house, is that clear?.”

My heart,that had been pounding in my chest skidded to stop. Faltered and started pounding harder.

I stared at him, my face free of any emotion, but I was tongue tied and frozen in my fear.

Obviously, my opinion didn’t matter in this decision. I guess I should be glad he chose me, after all, a lot of unmated female wolves and Lycans would kill to be in my position.

"Is that clear?" He bellowed, making me jump and scattering my thoughts.

A whimper unconsciously escaped my lips as fear paralyzed me.

This.Has. Got. To Be.The.End.Of.My.Life. I was sure of it, infact, I could already see my dead body lying in the ground, as my family cried over their loss.

His eyes were slowly, tuning black.

"s**t, he was loosing patience with me, his wolf was coming to the fore.

"Y-yess c-cl- clear." I managed to stutter out.

I jumped back as I felt his fingertips brush across my lips, I wanted to run to the door. I actually tried to but I couldn’t move my feet. It wasn’t because I was still frozen with fear, but because, Gordon had grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into his chest roughly.

His hand gripped my hair painfully, he pulled my ear closer to his mouth as he whispered.

"Never ever disrespect me again, little Elle, you will do well to remember that."

His scent was overwhelmingly irritating to me, and a small quake had began deep inside of me. Soon it will become full blown uncontrollable shaking. My fear of him rising by the second, any time now I would scream at the top of my lungs.

There was a knock on the door, and he let me go before permitting my dad into the study.

“Nicholas.” he said as my dad walked in.

“ All is set and the ceremonies will be done in your pack house in two weeks. Thank you for dinner, But I must be on my way now. “ He spoke with authority, it was almost like a command.

Dad nodded, " We will see you out.” He said , while taking my hand and pulling me along with him as we followed behind Gordon to the door.

The minute the door closed behind the hideous monster, I took off for my room, as fast as my leg could carry me.

Once I got into my room, I locked the door, fell on my knees and let the tears fall.

What am I to do?

why can't I catch a break?

I cried and cried.

No one left the house that night none of my siblings slept. Neither did I, my parents wouldn’t leave the other side of my door, and my mother cried with me all night.
