Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 85

"Are you finally going to mark her?" Everest joked with Brent, nudging him slightly. We all seemed to have relaxed now that our most immediate threat was eliminated.

"Well, she would have been marked yesterday but with my i***t brother, we couldn't risk her in her most vulnerable state. We postponed it." Brent had an arm now loosely around Miranda.

"Ah, yes. I remember you saying something about a ceremony now that I think of it. Apologies, a lot has been going on." Everest sighed.

"We will be there for you both. I am sure transitioning will be painful, or so I have read." I told Miranda and offered her a comforting smile.

"Thanks." She smiled. "I am a bit worried about it, if I am being honest."

We all made our way back to the human town where Dexter was hiding out. Thanks to a new identity he made, we were able to track down his house pretty easily. When we walked inside it was nice. Modern and had all kinds of decent things. The walls were black with a white couch, a white coffee table that had matching side tables. Both tables had gray lamps that sat upon them. The kitchen was two-toned with white cabinets on top and dark gray cabinets on the bottom. The counter tops were white granite that had black streaming through them. It wasn't a bad hide out and honestly made me think that maybe he was leaving his old life behind him.

We searched through all of his things for any clue as to if anyone was there or close by to assist him.

I was going through one of his desks, this one located in his room, when I found some contracts. When I touched them, the strangest thing happened. My eyes rolled back into my head and I collapsed. When I woke, everything seemed to be very hazy and objects blurred around me.

I sat up and looked around me. Nothing. No one was here. "That's odd" Charlotte commented, and I couldn't help but to agree with her.

"I don't think we are in the same reality. I don't know why but this seems, well, different. A lot different really." I told her.

"Well, let's use this time to look around. Who knows how much time we truly have," Charlotte suggested.

"Sounds like a plan." I agreed and stood. When I did, it was like the world suddenly began to spin around me. My arm outstretched in front of me, as I desperately tried to grab onto something, anything to stable myself. When the world around me finally stopped spinning, I let go of the desk. I took a step and the ground under my feet was soft.

"This place is giving me the creeps," Charlotte said. I could feel her looking through my eyes, looking at the world around us.

I walked down the steps slowly and a bright flash of white light greeted me at the bottom of the steps. I moved to cover my eyes from the unpleasant vivid light shining in front of me.

I moved my arms down to my side. "What the hell was that?" I thought and

were. I picked up the papers that I had read earlier and frowned. "These are the same papers I looked at earlier." I whispered. I walked around some more, exploring the house. When the entire house was finally searched, I stepped outside. The ground still felt as if I was walking on
