Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 69

I looked around between Claire, Josh, and Miranda. I frowned when I looked in Miranda's direction, who had a big smile upon her face. "Why are you all looking at me like that?" To say that I was confused was an understatement. Did I have something on my face? Did I sprout horns and now I belong in the deepest pits of hell? What was it?

"Well, Ava, it is your eyes." Josh stuttered out.

"My eyes? What about them? I can't see them!" I felt myself panic. I thought I had been blind for a moment, but I could see them so I knew that was not the case, i***t. I felt Charlotte laugh at me.

"Here, come over to the water's edge and have a look for yourself," Miranda offered.

"You don't even..." Josh was cut off by a warning slap that I could only assume was Claire to hush him up. "Ow, babe."

"Oh please, it wasn't even that hard. Sometimes you just need to shut your big mouth and let people find out for themselves what is going on." I read how annoyed she was with him, as if you couldn't hear it in her voice.

I stepped up to where the earth and water met and looked down at my own reflection. My eyes were glowing and gold, not just a few flecks of gold. They were actually gold. My skin was also shimmering with glints of gold. What in the hell? What is this? How do I turn it off? What does this mean? I look like a gold oompa loompa! I felt like crying, and I wondered if my tears would be gold too.

"I control it. Calm down. You are okay, everything is okay. Do not panic." Charlotte spoke to me.

"You do?" I questioned her.

"Yes. I do. Your magic is a part of us. This shows your strength. There are books on it that you could read. Where it was documented in our history. It is very rare to be blessed with the kind of magic you possess and be a Royal Lycan at the same time. You, Avalynn, are the strongest being on this planet. It is a gift and a curse. When word gets out, the witches council will want you dead along with whoever else is in their pockets." Charlotte told me.

"How do you know this?" I asked her.

"You think our Moon Goddess would pair a magical being with a Royal Lycan on purpose? Two cousins from a magical background with history that runs deeper than anyone from the last few hundred years could remember?" I could feel her smiling.

"So, Miranda will also keep her magic?" I asked.

"Yes, but she must not know this. She must choose Brent on her own accord. She can not be swayed." She told me.

"Avalynn! Hello?" I heard the faint sounds of my name being called. I realized I had gone off into talking with my beast. I was completely ignoring them all.

I shook my head and took a step away from the water. I turned and looked at the three of them. They looked confused.

"Are you okay?" Claire asked as she took a step towards me.

"Yes. I am fine. Sorry, Charlotte was telling me some things. There are history books from a few hundred years ago with information about what I am." I looked between the three of them.

"I know the history book she is talking about. It is in your office," Miranda said and told us with a smile. "I have read it and the gift you have is extremely rare. When a Royal Lycan is gifted with this, it generally means that danger to the Lycan and Wolf world is imminent." Miranda sighed.

"What? So what does this mean?" Josh spoke then and I crossed my arms in front of me, glancing over at Claire. I could tell they were both panicked and worried for my safety. I wasn't only worried about my safety but everyone else's that would be involved. I looked down at my arms and hands. I rotated them, watching the gold shimmer off of my skin. Absolutely fascinating to look at.
