Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 12 

The journey to the Northern Territories Kingdom was nearly an all day event. I packed what few decent clothes I had and left the rest at home. Everest told me I was more than welcome to go shopping for anything I would need or want. 

After announcing me as his mate in front of my pack, word spread quickly that the Prince had found his fated mate. It was all over the social media platforms, our photos. Some good comments, bad ones, and occasional thirst from all sides. One comment, however stood out to me “If she was his true mate how come she is left unmarked?” I clicked it and read all the replies, “He’s a Royal she must meet the family.” “She is obviously unworthy.” “Royals mark after the Kings approval.” “Maybe he will reject her so I can have a chance.” “Royals mark one another in a marking ceremony infront of all the Northern Nobel Lycans. He is just following protocol. If you were at the Alpha ceremony you would have obviously witnessed how very smitten they are of one another.” I smiled at the last comment before closing the app out and clicking my phone off. I looked out the window and could see the ground now. The clouds have finally cleared out and we seemed to be flying over a mountain range of some kind. 

I looked over to Everest who had been working nonstop on his laptop. He said he had neglected some paperwork but it was understandable seeing how he found his mate, had issues with a stupid mutt of an Alpha who wasn’t ready, and trying to find out where I had come from. I sat across from him and watched his face. It was cold and hard, his brows gathered together in a serious look as he frowned at the 

screen. 

“Everything okay?” My head tilted to look down at the granola bar I was fumbling with. 

“Eh, it’s nothing you should really worry with. My father just sent me a shocking email. The King of the Southern territory was murdered and his eldest son nearly died. In his absence, his younger brother is leading the Southern Lycans.” He sent a reassuring smile. 

“Oh. Do they have any leads on who done it?” I took a bite out of my granola bar. 

“No, no one saw it coming. The three were out on a hunt together, got separated that’s when they were found, left for dead. Unfortunately, the King did not make it.” He sighed. 

“I’m sorry.” I offered and he gave a small shrug. “I didn’t really know him. Only met him a handful of times.” He sighed and closed his laptop. 

“Regardless of the situation, I find it odd that the younger brother was left unharmed.” I frowned and moved my attention back to the window. I noticed the mountain range changing slowly as we flew over them. 

“Interesting, the younger sibling, who is older than I, has always resented not being the next in line for being King.” He stood and my attention went to him. “There isn’t much we can do, even if that is true. It is not in our territory. Until it crosses in our lands or the eldest brother reaches out for help, our hands are 

tied.” 

“Oh, well let’s hope that drama stays over there. Whatever happened though is a sad situation any way you look at it.” I sighed.

mates arm snaked around me and he kissed me. “Welcome home. These Lycans here travel with us at all times while we are home. They help ensure our safety in case of an attack. Especially now that I have found my mate. I see that it has doubled?” His eyes glanced over to a man who was tall and
