Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 23 

Everest POV 

This woman showed up out of no where with a child clinging to her body. She looked over tired and way too stressed but also determined at the same time. She didn’t look as if she was a day older than maybe twenty. 

When we walked into the room we motioned for her to sit. She complied and sat the young child in her lap. The little girl had her thumb in her mouth and I am assuming her favorite blanket with her. 

“Please, go ahead with information on my brother, Miranda.” King Brent told her. 

“Well, you see, I wasn’t expecting to run into both of you here, but I am glad you did. You know my brother, Garrison.” She paused and waited for King Brent to nod and continued “Well, he got into debt with your brother, Prince Dexter. I don’t know what he did or how or anything I just know he wasn’t able to repay whatever it was to bring him out of it.” She paused and I saw Brent shake his head and lean forward with a hand over his face. 

She looked nervously over to me and began talking again. “Well your brother murdered mine and 

took my neice.” She looked down at the child for a moment and tears were threatening to spill over. “He 

took her and came after me. After a man beat me he threatened to kill her if I didn’t do as he said. He said my brother owed a significant debt and then he gave me his head.” 

Tears now freely streamed down her face as she talked, hugging the child tightly to her. “I did as he told me for her, her life and for that I am sorry. Please spare her, even if you have to kill me. I helped him with your mate I didn’t know what else to do. You were in the hospital and he was in command. I didn’t know what to do.” 

I stood, rage filling me that this witch helped that bastard. “What. Did. You. Do?!” I yelled. 

“I gave him potion and a herbal blend to mask her scent and suppress the Lycan inside of her. He said I was finished and we could live in peace but he just recently contacted me. Wanted my help again and I refused him and he threatened her life and mine.” She still had tears streaming down her face. 

I sat down and realized she had no choice in the matter and yes what she done is technically punishable by death. Rules could be bent and I sighed. “Miranda, shh.” My voice was quiet and soft. “You’re 

safe here, she is safe here. You have nothing to fear here.” 

She sniffed and nodded “Thank you, thank you.” She kissed the top of the child’s head. “There were others involved. A woman named Sarah, a wolf named Ryder, and he has many other people that are helping him. Also, when he threatened me this last time it was so I could make a weaker spell. The original one was supposedly making her sick and she collapsed and has a concussion. He was wanting it so they could move locations.” 

“Thank you. We will pay for your room and if you would like, travel with us and our warriors. If you 

want to help us out it would be welcomed.” King Brent offered her. 

“Thank you King Brent, I will gladly and proudly offer any assistance to either of you if and when you need it.” She stood “If you would excuse us, I need to get her some food and settled into our room.”
