Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 88

Melissa POV

I sat back down at the table and waited for everyone to return. I sipped on the water I had taken from the fridge. The other witches, some who knew the whole story, stayed inside, giving space to the Lycans and the young witch that was with them. She, from what I have gathered, was Brent's mate. She was calming him down and I was thankful that she was here with us. The look in his eyes looked as if he was ready to murder everyone here. I hoped that he would come back in and listen to the remainder of the story, because though it sounded as if his brother was innocent in a mind game by Sophia, he truly was not.

The sound of the front door closing had me lifting my head up to see who would be coming in first. I watched as all four of them came in and sat down at the table. I cleared my throat before speaking, "Are you all ready to continue?"

"Yes, I believe we are," Avalynn answered.

"Okay then. So going back to your mother and father." I paused, trying to remember where I left off. "Ah, yes. Well see your mother and father were mated. Your father never kept your mother away from her friends and family. In fact, they came to visit her home a lot. They even invited us to come and stay with them on several occasions. Anyway, Sophia was jealous of the life your mother was going to be living and wanted it for herself. She tried to alternate the truth and mess with the mate bond. Everyone knows that you can not alter an accepted bonded pair, especially Lycans. Wolves you can to an extent, but it generally backfires. Sophia believed that she could twist their truth and failed. She was sent back home and banned from stepping even a toe into their territory. If she did, she would be seen as a threat and taken out. This then caused your mother to not feel safe on coming back home and, sadly, tension rose because they could no longer trust us." I looked down at the table, hanging my head in shame.

"Wow," Avalynn commented.

"So your mother became a Lycan after the long change and she was everything her Kingdom needed her to be. She was kind, loving, and put her people first. Now, while your family was living their lives, Sophia had come up with a plan of revenge. She wanted to squash their happiness in any way that she knew how. So, when she crossed into the Southern Territory she was met by the warriors who took her to see your father." I looked at Brent, my gaze never faltering. "In fact, you may have remembered her under her different name Cassandra." I watched as his eyes widened.

"Ca-Cassandra? No, she was a maid that lived in our house." Brent was shaking his head. One of the other witches handed me a photograph of Dexter and Sophia together recently and I slid it across the table to him. I watched him pick it up and then crumble it in his hands.
