Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 20 

Avalynn POV 

I felt the warm breeze kiss my cheeks and my eyes fluttered open. The smell of salt hung through the air and filled my lungs as I breathed. I listened before I dared to move, almost afraid, I heard the sound of water crashing softly in the background. I didn’t hear anything so I began to glance around the room. 

The windows were open as the curtains swayed with each gust of wind that passed through. The floor was tiled and a soft grey color. The bed I was laying across was a large white four poster bed and everything else matched its style. There looked to be a overly large chair with a soft fuzzy light blue, grey, and white blanket draped over it. 

The walls were a pale blue with white trim and decorated in a beachy or costal theme. It was honestly how I would picture my own beach house destination designing if I ever had one. Whoever designed this room, did a great job, that much I could remember. I almost felt bad for having someone’s blood spilled here….Almost 

As I sat up in the bed I inhaled deeply, all I could smell was the ocean and a vanilla scent that I assumed was coming from the candle that was lit on the small table next to the chair. I couldn’t smell the scent of any other being. I listened carefully past the waves that were hitting the sanded beaches. I heard 

footsteps, and a woman speaking to someone in hushed tones. I tried but I couldn’t make out what she 

was saying 

I noticed that my limbs were weak as I swung my legs over the bed. My arms felt heavy and my head was throbbing. I stood and as soon as I did the door swung open. In walking a man with handsome features. He was tall and broad and wore a smile on his face. He was carrying a tray of food and I took a deep breath, able to smell the food under the cover. I smelled chicken and broccoli for certain and my stomach growled. 

“You’ve been asleep for awhile, I figured it was about time for you to wake.I wanted to give you something to help rejuvenate your muscles. I had country fried steak, broccoli, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, mac-n-cheese, and rolls made for you. I wasn’t sure what you liked so I had a bit of everything made for you.” He smiled at me. 

“Who are you?” I asked cautiously as he motioned for me to move to the small table across the 

room. 

“My name is Dexter, Prince of the Southern Territory. Soon to be King. And you are my mate, Avalynn.” He smiled at me again. 

I frowned “No, I already have a mate? Prince Everest of the Northern Territory.” My stomach growled again and I only took a small sip of the herbal tea. When I looked back at him I felt a weird pull to him. I knew that it was wrong and I pushed the feelings aside. I took a bite of my food and it was absolutely

I truly had two mates. I felt the pull but it

was nothing but silence and a cold empty feeling. I couldn’t feel her at all and that made me slightly uncomfortable to leave the room and go walk with him. Well, just to be around him in general actually. I had no way to fully protect myself against him and his Lycan. It made me nervous to think about what could happen. It sent a wave of shivers down my spine.
