Mated To The Lycan King

Mated To The Lycan King by Jennifer Baker Chapter 105

Miranda POV

My body flew back after being hit with some type of electrical shock. My head hit the concrete wall. My ears rung and my vision blurred. Soon everything was dark but it didn’t last long. A warm feeling came over my body as I sat up. I was no longer in the Kingdom but in a hilly field filled with wildflowers. The scent was like nothing I had ever smelled before. I inhaled deeply, this breath better than the next. I welcomed the warm fuzzy sensation it was giving me.

Not long after, I began walking, making my way down the field to the little house at the bottom of the hillside. I stopped as I recognized the house. I turned around and looked at the hill and realized I was back at my childhood home. I smiled for a moment but soon frowned as I looked at the house and remembered the horrors that took place behind those doors. A shudder went down my spine as terrible memories flooded my mind.

I walked up closer to the house and noticed a thin smoke cloud was coming out of the chimney. I frowned at seeing the smoke because no one should be there. But, someone was here, but who could it possibly be? Did someone stumble upon the house and make it new again? I approached the house with caution, determined to find out. All of my family was dead, aside from Avalynn, who was a cousin of our family, and Cassie, who was in the North where it was safe. When I was in front of the door, I didn’t feel the need to knock as my hand reached for the door knob. But before I could grasp it, it opened up wide and my mother was there. She walked right through me and yelled for my younger self to come home. I took a few steps back, stunned at the events that had just occurred. My eyes snapped at hearing my mother’s sweet voice. How I missed her so.

“Miranda, my dear, it is time to come in. We can play tomorrow!” She walked over to our bell, rang it four times and walked back inside. Soon I watched as a younger me approached and, went inside. I walked in and watched as my entire family sat down together and ate their food.

It was so nice to see my mama and papa. I have missed them so much since they passed away. I sighed and walked around the house, looking at everything, memories flooding my mind. Soon the brightness and warmth that I grew up with turned dark and cold. I looked around and felt a chill in the air. Everything was now covered in dust and broken. I felt sadness and anger rise up in my chest. My breathing picked up as I noticed stained blood on the beds and the chairs.

“Hello.” I heard a woman’s voice. “I have been expecting you for some time now.”

“Me? Why me?” I asked her.

“You are an important key to helping unite the Northern and Southern Territories.” She smiled at me. “It comes with a cost.”

“A cost?” I asked.

She nodded her head. “I can not tell you the price you will pay, but it is worth it. In the end, it is all worth it. I will promise you this, it is worth it.”

Whoever this was liked to repeat herself, but I guess she wanted to make her point clear. Regardless of the price I would have to pay, if it brought us peace and happiness, I would be willing to sacrifice even myself if that was what it would take.

“I am prepared to pay whatever cost to let there be peace among us all.” I told the mystery woman.

“That is good to hear, my child.” She smiled, placed a kiss on my forehead and stepped back from me. “You should probably get up, they need your help.” Her arms waved and when her hands came together in a clap, pounding and throbbing was all that was left in my head.

“Miranda! Miranda! Get up! You have got to get up!” I heard Avalynn by my side.
