The lycan queen

Recap;:-

I glanced over my shoulder, drunken blue eyes scanning the crowd to find the boys in question. I could easily separate the packs based on their clothing-- each wearing a touch of their own pack's colors on them.

Finally, I spotted the boys watching us. Before I could conclude anything else, Antonio and some other guy came and swooped us out of our seats and into their hands. When I tried to struggle myself out, the new guy simply said, we have a room for you both upstairs. I don't know what made me trust my life to Antonio, but whatever it was calmed me enough to make me sleep off in Antonio's arms.

I woke up to the sun creeping in from the window, extending across the bed and warming me up after a cold night's sleep.

I groggily opened my eyes and looked around, and, at first, a feeling of panic arose inside of me as I took in my new surroundings, but then the previous night's events caught up to me and I calmed down.

The room was large, with an off-white theme and black furniture. The bed I was lying on was huge and nicely decorated, with great pillows and blankets surrounding me like one great cushion.

Glancing across the room, I saw a girl with long, brown curly hair watching me intently, a small smile on her face as I woke up, "Great! You are awake... I will go tell Nolan."

I must have looked confused because she laughed slightly, "I am Sophia, Alpha Nolan's little sister and greatest advisor."

I nodded slightly, "Er, I'm Crya. It's nice to meet you..." I cringed at my awkwardness, but Sophia did not seem to notice, since she stood up and walked over to the door.

Before she walked out, she turned to me, "Oh, and there are some clothes in the bathroom that should be your size, I want them back though." She laughed at the last part before leaving me alone in the room.

After she was gone, I slowly crawled out of bed, my feet hitting the cold floor and the icy air giving me a rude awakening. I could only hope that the clothes Sophia gave me were more substantial than the small dress I was wearing at the moment. Wait! Small dress? I hit my hand on my forehead when I remembered what Charlie told me last night. "Just remember when you need a break from the party, detach your clothes to give you a small one". I looked at him with a 'what' look, and he continued "it's a detachable cloth." I just nodded and left. So this is what he means by detachable. I turned around and saw the other one lying on the floor beside the bed with what looked like puke on it.

When I reached the bathroom, I looked in the mirror, horrified at the way I looked. My dark brown hair had fallen out and was lying in matted curls around my head while my makeup was smeared across my face.

I immediately turned on the shower, which began to steam up the bathroom in a matter of seconds while I stripped.

Sarah pov;:-

"You know when we were younger he was always so damn stubborn and competitive. He wanted to turn out to be a winner in everything. So, being the better brother I am, I allowed him to win plenty of times. Sure I got teased about it, but seeing that smile on his face made it all the more worthwhile", James chuckled, remembering the old memory he had shared with Adam.

I have great admiration for James, he put aside all his sorrows for so long, and has been brave about everything he's been through, and here he is chuckling over memorable memories. His stories were told throughout the packs. He has been to my pack many times than I can count and with each visit comes his stories. I practically feel I know him well now, he adopted the word 'little sis' for me while I called him 'big bro'. Here, I am receiving lectures about his younger brother, Adam.

"James, we all make mistakes. Realizing them is what makes it important. Like my dad always said, 'making mistakes is your life. Without them, you are perfect'" I said, going into my own daze thinking about my father.

James' smile snapped me out of my daze as i looked up at him. He flashed his perfect pearly teeth, chuckling at me. I felt happy that he could still keep that smile on his face, whatever terrible moment he had to go through, James would always be happy "The words of a very wise man," he stated. I smile at his choice of words.

It's true my father always gave words of wisdom to those who suffered or needed his help.

"Now I see where i get my genes from", I smirked. I shocked myself by smirking, as I wasn't one to, but who cared right at that minute? I wanted to feel different and by changing my aura, hopefully, I did. I didn't want everyone finding my secret, even Crya, and by changing my mood, hopefully I would feel relief and relaxed.

"Urm not really" he said flatly, staring.

I looked at my plate thinking of all the things that happened to some of my friends in Alpha Nolan's pack. James was one of the bravest people I've ever seen. He lost his mate 2 years ago in a pack fight between them and an extinct pack called the lotus pack. 

Rumors has it that the alpha is a power-hungry man, so he made sure his warriors specialized in taking down smaller packs, or at least that's what they thought till they got here. They ambushed them in the dead of the night. Alpha Nolan's pack lost a few pack members that night, but they suppressed them. But the scar the lotus pack created is forever in their hearts. When the Lucan pack, which is the Alpha king's pack, when they heard about it, he sent out warriors to kill just their alphas and scatter the pack members into the other pack, thereby leading to the extinction of their pack here and in history as well.

"James, they are nothing but bastards.

They don't deserve anything. I have no words to express myself about how you feel. Sure I've been through sh**, but not like you. My father always told me; when you find your inner self, praise it. Praise it for the fact that it has still kept you strong. James, most wolves that have lost their mates have gone rogue. And here you're still a happy man. James, you're the only person I feel worth living for. Sure I love Alina and wouldn't want to commit suicide. But when I met you, you were another reason for me to stay strong."

I looked up from my plate, finding out that Alpha Nolan had just come down with his mate Luna Alina and sister Sophia. James was leaning against me as our bodies were squashed together. I sat against the wall stroking his hair. I gently placed a kiss on his forehead. He looked into my eyes, tilting his head.

The tears once there disappeared, he looked at me with consideration.

"You do know Adam is my brother" he said sheepishly, but his expression showed disgust and danger. But the sadness in his eyes didn't go unseen.

I went rigid for a second, repeating his words that were now killing me. Adam was on guard duty that time when all this happened. In his own words, he went for a bathroom break and that's when the invaders came. The pack still blames him for what happened then. He also happens to be their gamma and my new-found mate. We met just last night and I haven't seen him since then, which is why I am still here with my best friend speaking of best friend. Why hasn't she woken up yet?

And as if on cue, in reading my mind, Alpha Nolan's sister spoke up "She should be taking her bath now". I looked at her with a 'what' expression, and she signaled upstairs before saying "your friend".

I had just stood up ready to leave when Adam came in, his tall muscular, eight-packed tan body, jet black hair, a slim waist and broad shoulders, smooth skin and an eye color that just turned me on. His growls didn't help to ease the painful pleasure I felt in between my legs. He growled again and this time louder, wait!, he growled…. When I came to my senses, everyone was looking at me. I simply ran towards the room where my bestie was, covering my shame. 

Crya's pov;:-

I've been here for over two hours, I know, don't judge me, but here is the thing I can't seem to move. One from Jordan who's trying to break through my walls, maybe trying to find out where I am? But I don't want to entertain his rubbish today, I have bigger fishes to fry and that's my wolf. She seems to be with me but not with me. I don't know if that makes sense, but that's how I feel. She also sends images back to my head. It's like I am walking this pack. The only problem is I am still in the bathroom. Maybe my mind was playing tricks with me, but at first I thought I could not move, only to move when the door to my room opened and closed forcefully. 

I dried off my body, dressed up, ready to hit or fight the intruder, only to walk into the room and see a panting Sarah sitting on the couch. I was about to speak when I smelt something in the air. No, it can't be "Sarah..."

"Don't you dare say another word".

"I haven't said anything yet" I defended.

"You don't need to" she sighed before continuing "Just give me a few minutes to calm down and catch my breath before the question, OK?".

I just nodded, sat down on the bed, then started reading a magazine I saw on the nightstand.

After about 30 minutes of silence and reading, Sarah finally spoke up.

"I found my mate…." I just nodded, looking at her because, for some reason, she didn't seem happy saying that. "And he re… re… rejected me", at the end of the sentence I just saw red.

I abruptly stopped and made my way to the door with one thought in mind that Dude just had to die. Sarah's thoughts were, of course, different, she was trying to stop me. I went down the stairs following his scent, only to find him and a few others in the dining room. I stood in my tracks when I heard an Alpha's voice talking. I guess it was Alpha Nolan.

"I know that, Adam. But like a wise man said once, your faults are what cures a person. No one knew what that man was saying, but then you came and now that has shown us. Your faults may have hurt you with great pain, but they are what are now curing you of your bad mistakes. If you had no faults, then you would be the same, and you couldn't strive to be better."

This Adam dude seems to be my target because his scent still lingers on Sarah's body, my best bet is he is the one I am looking for.

"Your dad?" I whispered to Sarah.

She nodded her head. Her father had always been the wise and inspirational man in their pack, at least that's why I've observed from talking with him. His words were always so true and wise that no one would mock his words or even ignore his comments. His words were always believed. I never understood his words, but now I know his words were always the truth.

"You mustn't dwell on the fact that you rejected her, wanted to exile her and nearly raped her within a few hours of meeting her" she whispered back.

I took a few steps backwards when he said the last two words. I was shocked for words, looking at Sarah just to confirm. If I had seen red before, I would be seeing blood now. And with that in mind I lunched myself at him.
