Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 58
I stood there watching Rita. I hate that I brought her into this, but she had a score to settle with the King herself. Who was I to
stop her? I had my own to settle with him. She was sitting in our normal spot eating dinner already and I found myself smiling. I
guess being casted out was a good thing after all. I was in too deep and Dexter was just way too imbalanced to reason with. I
might as well see things through. If things get too deep and I notice we are going to lose the battle, we leave immediately.
Rita and I hatched a plan together to stay together. No matter what. Yes, her magic abilities were not the strongest, but she could
still do a few simple things. Enough to keep us protected at the very least. A spell she was working on would make us seem
invisible to anyone around us. I would have to carry her in my arms to get us away as far as possible and as fast as I could. She
made me a copy cat pill that gave me the strength of two lycans. It took a little to get into my system and I contemplated taking
the next pill now. I could not explain it but something was telling me to do so.
I sighed to myself and looked around the room. Candace was a mess and seemed all over the place. She was walking out the
door in a furious rage. The word is that Dexter rejected her. I was honestly surprised that he did such a thing. I guess he really
had his mind set on Avalynn after all.
“/”*t. / wish we had never hooked up with him. We were just so angry and upset. We were never ready to take over the pack. We
should have just gone with Rita and took off somewhere down south.” My wolf was annoyed. We acted on our rage and now look
where we are. Up shits creek and without a damn paddle.
I nodded my head absentmindly to what he said. Just then Rita turned to look at me and she smiled. I smiled back at her and
nodded my head over to where the food was located. I walked over and made two plates of food. My stomach growled at the
sight of all the delicious and mouthwatering food on my two plates. I walked over and sat down next to Rita and laughed softly as
she eyed my food.
“You eat a lot.” She nodded over to my two rounded full plates that sat in front of me.
“You think I eat a lot? Look at some of these Lycan dishes. Some of them have, like, three or four. Depending on how big or
young he or she is. If they are super active, they will have all the food.”
“Yeah, I saw that.” She smiled and took a chicken strip off of my plate, popping half of it into her mouth.
“Hey! That was mine.” i let out a playful growl, causing her to laugh.

After dinner, we walked our way up to our room. She recommended me to go ahead and get the stuff she made for me and take
it. We walked into our room and looked around the room. We walked out to the balcony of our room and looked down below us.
People were walking around and chatting. The sun was in the beginning stages of setting. It was making a beautiful picture
against the contrast of the tall trees. Rita laid her head against my shoulder and happily sighed.
“You should really go ahead and take that blend I made for you. I did switch up that other witch’s recipe. I hope that it is better for
you.” She spoke softly.
“I just hate the way it makes me feel. I don’t feel in control,” I said honestly.
“I understand, it is because you are a wolf with the power of two lycans. It takes over who you are. You are an angry person with
everyone but me. It can bring out the worst. I am sorry if it affects you in this way. I don’t have the time to change it.” She lifted
her head and walked back inside for a moment.
When she came back outside, she handed me some water and the herbal blend in pill form. I took it and was thankful I didn’t
have to taste it this time. It was pretty nasty and made me gag. It was one of the
nastiest things I have ever had in my mouth. It was definitely easier to swallow this way.
“Thank you Ri.” I took it and downed it with the water she brought to me.
We stood there for a few moments as I watched the sun starting to set. Beautiful hues of pinks and purples began to paint the
sky above. I was just about to tell Rita how thankful I was for her and what she meant to me when an explosion sounded at the
northern side of the boarder wall.
“What the hell?” Rita asked.

I looked down as panic shot through the crowd below, women and children running and screaming for help. Warriors who were
walking below shifted and made their way to where smoke was rising in the air. I looked over to Rita and kissed her softly.
“We need to find Brennon and take out his men.” She nodded her head.
Come to find out Brennon beat Rita when she was younger, nearly killing her, after her family was murdered by him and the dead
King. She never elaborated why they were murdered, but I did not care. I was going to at least avenge her and her suffering
tonight with Brennon. The other, well, i handled that with her help and that dead witch’s help.
I shifted as we walked through the hallway. I could feel the magic already beginning to work. Luckily enough, it was quicker this
time around. It must be one of the slight adjustments she made to the formula. My body began shifting its shape as we walked,
moving to a large lycan. I sniffed the air and moved to where his scent was strongest.
We found him in the room and when our eyes locked, he nodded to his men. “It is time? I heard the explosion.” I gave him a nod
and he sighed. “Men go to your stations. Prepare for battle.”
We watched as they left and I let out a deadly growl when he took a step closer to us. He looked taken back from the sudden
change in my friendliness. He was very vulnerable in his human form and I could get him easily now. I took a step towards him
and he took three back.
“Ryder, what are you doing?” He asked in a serious tone.
Rita spoke to him then “He is rectifying our little situation. Do you remember, about six years ago, the family you ripped apart?”

Brennon frowned and before he could speak Rita spoke over him, “Of course you don’t. Why would you? My family didn’t mean
anything to you. But you sure seemed to love beating an innocent child to near death. You hindered my ability to grow my
magical powers as a witch. You burned my home with all of the books that I needed for me to learn. I have taught myself some
magic, along with stealing books here and there. But I have dreamed of the day that my family’s murderers and the man that
nearly killed me finally dies for so many years now. Ryder, now.” She spoke with venom laced with every word she spoke. She
was angry and I could smell the fear coming from Brennon.
I stepped towards him and when he started to shift, knowing that if he didn’t he would never stand a chance against me, I
attacked him. I locked my jaws at his throat and clamped down. My canines dug in and broke his skin as blood trickled down into
my fur. I felt him struggle against me as he howled out of pain, trying to free himself. I took my claws and dug them deep into his
chest.I scrapped bone, ripping the skin away from his body.
“End it Ryder and let’s go.” Rita hissed at me.
I could hear a full-blown war happening now outside as warriors were shouting where to cover and what to look out for. Another
explosion sounded and this time it shook the walls. Pictures fell to the floor, the glass covering shattering as it landed. I looked at
Rita and did as she asked me to do.
Ilocked my jaw as I knew I had a good chunk of his throat in my mouth and twisted with a crack and rip. I slung the meat of his
neck out and behind me as he fell to the ground below me. I broke his neck in the process and now he is lying beneath me,
dead. I stepped back away from him as Rita walked over to his body and kicked him with all of the force she could muster. I don’t
know why, but it made me smile
inside. He deserved that and I hoped that he could feel it even in death.
“We need to leave, now.” She told me as she placed her hand on me and chanted a spell. It felt like a nice warm feeling was
placed over me. Like a thick fuzzy blanket and I looked down at her. “It is done, we are invisible to almost everyone.” She told
me.
I took that as my cue, picking her up in my arms. She was so lightweight, almost like a feather, it was easy. I dashed out the door
and headed south to where there was no one. I clicked the button to open the gate and when it opened another force of warriors
were there along with a woman who I had seen before. The warriors looked around confused but the woman’s head tilted as she
looked at us.
“s**t! It’s Miranda! I thought she was dead!” I said. “The witch?” Rita’s voice cracked.

Just like that, she uncloaked us with a twist of her wrist. She had to know we were there, the gate just didn’t open itself. I needed
to warn Dexter and we needed to get out of here.
I backed up and took off, running back in the direction we came from with Rita still in my arms. I heard multiple people running
after us before they pounced onto my back. Teeth and claws sunk into me and I let out a deadly growl. They made me drop Rita
and she cried out in pain as her head connected with a rock. I was restrained by four lycans moments later. I watched as one
picked up Rita and carried her off, blood covering her face. I struggled to get away but was given a heavy dose of wolfsbane and
soon everything was dark.
