Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 80

Avalynn Day dreaming about the last few weeks...

I sat on our terrace, sipping my morning coffee. Everything was calm and quiet. No one had heard from Dexter but we knew it was because he was in hiding. He was obviously being shielded by the witches council, there was no doubt about it. I took another sip of my coffee and watched as the sun rose slowly. Beautiful colors of oranges, yellows, and pinks kissed the dark blue sky. Fluffy clouds drifted above my head, with a cool breeze kissing my skin. I focused and thought about the last few weeks and how life has changed since everything has happened.

The last few weeks we have been focused on training and getting the boys acclimated and Matthew training with the rest of the warriors. For a rogue wolf, he seemed to fit in well. He was strong and we were able to find out he was one of the strongest upcoming warriors out of his pack in school. He was quick and very smart. He quickly picked up on our drills and exercises with ease, and what was more shocking was that he was able to keep up with anything and everything that was thrown his way. Something was different about him, I just couldn't place it.

I trained with everyone and worked on powering up my abilities with a select few. We were getting ready to host a dinner tonight with every Alpha in the territory and every strong-abled, high-ranking Lycan from our territory here for the next week. We would be going south soon and really needed to get everyone on the same page. It was going to be a packed house.

The boys were fitting in just fine and their uncle had left and gone back to his pack. I had heard, through the grapevine, that the minute he arrived at his pack he found a second chance mate. I was happy because honestly I still felt guilty for doing what I had done to Bridget, even if she deserved it. The boys loved to follow me around and watch my every move. I liked that they enjoyed being my shadows. They loved coming to training and attempted to do a lot of the moves we were all doing. It was cute and sweet. They have completely stolen my heart.

All three of the boys had their own rooms in our wing of the castle. Once Daniel had left, we moved their rooms to a permanent location and much closer to us. I decorated all the boys' room with what they were into, with the help of Trevor. He didn't care about decorating, but he enjoyed shopping for all the things. He really enjoyed getting everything he needed or wanted to make his room, truly his room. Even with everything being all decked out, the boys were uneasy staying in their own room.

I understood where they were coming from and put up rolling beds in Trevors' room. It took about a week and a half for them to all be comfortable in their own rooms. They all slept in the same room up until yesterday. After they have been here these last few weeks, I honestly couldn't see my life without them. Especially when I watch the way Everest is with them, he was truly a wonderful father figure. We are a weird blended family, I guess. Lycan's and wolves. It's funny when you stop to think about it. Normal Lycans and wolves do not get along, we are better at it because, well I grew up with wolves and we are both royals.

I never heard the sliding door open up as Everest stepped outside. My mind was bouncing around from one detail to another as flashes of images from Matthews' mind appeared in my own. I closed my eyes as I was trying to pinpoint where he was. I, at that very moment, wished that I knew how to draw. Unfortunately, I was not blessed with this talent and so I was sure that trying to attempt it would be a major failure.

When Everest cleared his throat, I nearly threw my coffee up in the air. "Oh, good morning." I smiled up at him.

"Good morning, my love. What are you out here doing out here this early all alone?" He questioned.

"Just enjoying the quiet before the storm." I looked back out into the dark wooded area.

"Oh, what storm?" He pulled a chair away from the table and sat down next to me.

"The boys will be waking up soon. I am trying to get into some type of routine with everything going on. It is an adjustment, a happy one, but still an adjustment." I leaned my head back against the wall.

"We will get the hang of everything, just give it time." He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek, causing a smile to slowly make its way onto my face.

"I love you." I happily sighed.

"I love you," he replied.

Later in the day...

I stood with my hands on my hips breathing heavily. The workout and training had kicked my ass. Even though I was exhausted, the workout felt great! We had been working out and training hard nonstop for two hours. Now my muscles screamed for relief. I looked over at my mate who was walking around without his shirt on. I bit my bottom lip as I watched his muscles twitch and move under his skin. He looked absolutely delectable. My tongue darted out and wet my lips as I thought about all the things I wanted to do to him.

"My Queen. Are you ready to go to the gym and work on your abilities?" I wasn't paying her any attention and still watching my half-naked mate move around and in between warriors, helping them improve. "Hello? Ohhh, I see."

"What? Oh. Hi. Sorry, I was a bit distracted." I laughed.
