The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 24

Hunters POV:

As soon as they left, I felt so lonely. I know she’s not gone for good, but it feels like forever. I’ve not known her very long, but I’ve already grown to love her with my entire heart. I never realized how deep the mate bond is. How strong of a hold it would have on me. I always thought everyone was crazy when they met their mate, just obsessed. And I swore I’d never be like that. A few years ago, I had even decided I no longer wanted a mate. I had waited over a hundred years never finding the one. Now I couldn’t even imagine not having her.

“Mate needs to come home! We’re dying without her.” Marcus whines.

“She needs to be out. There’s things she needed to get.”

“We should’ve went with her.”

“But we have things to do.” I said.

“Rude.”

My heart aches when she’s not around. I find myself looking for her scent, scanning the room for her. Her beautiful black hair, her piercing hazel eyes. Craving her touch.

I keep thinking of this morning nonstop. Her lips against mine, our tongues crashing together. Our bodies in sync with each other, hands touching. My fingers feeling the warmth of her insides.. I need her.

A few hours have passed since she left. Alpha Robert of Crystal Lake pack, alpha Joseph of Black falls pack, and alpha Landon of Redforest pack have all come for a meeting. We having been discussing alpha Jaden and everything that’s been going on.

“If he’s the one who arranged the m******e, he needs to be punished! How does no one have any information?” Robert asked.

“We have a few who do. The gamma from Jaden pack has joined us here, he has information and has told me what he knows. And I have three people who were taken as children from the kingdom that night.” I said.

“Well what have they told you? The children? What did the gamma say? Can you even trust him if he’s from that pack? What about the princess?” Landon asked.

“Men, calm down. I know none of us here likes Jaden at all. We’ve all been trying to find reasons to take him down. We searched his lands up and down only to find nothing. It’s like he knew we would come looking.” My beta Mark said as he rubbed his face with his hand.

“They told us the sick b*stard recorded it. And yes I trust gamma William. He’s taken care of my mate. She trusts him with her life and I believe he would die for her if needed. She’s from the Allaire kingdom, but no one knows her real name. She’s just now beginning to trust me, I was hoping she’d tell me soon. Though, I do have a gut feeling about her real name.” I said. I wish Jess was here. She’s been away far too long.

“We’ll where is she?” Joseph asked.

“She’s out getting things she needs. She didn’t have much. She was beaten and many other things. Definitely wasn’t given the time or the money to get clothes.” I said.

“That’s ridiculous! How could that puny alpha treat anyone like that?” Robert asked. I don’t know. The only thing I do know is that he was a horrible wolf who needs to be put down.

We continue to talk about the situation for an hour when I get a mind link.

“My king. The queen has returned.” One of my guards said.

I shot up out of my chair and ran to the door.

“My king? What’s wrong?” Alpha Joseph asked, everyone stood up quickly, walking towards the door I’m holding open.

“She’s back. Would any of you like to meet my mate?” I asked with a huge grin on my face.

“Of course, lead the way my king.” Joseph said. I walked out of the door and down the stairs. Standing in the foyer was my beautiful mate, guards walking in around her carrying so many bags.

“I see you all listened to the ‘no limits’ part.” I laughed.

“Of course we did. They needed clothes! And we can’t have a queen who doesn’t have a few hundred dresses!” Dakota said.

The alphas followed downstairs and I saw Joseph look at Jess oddly. Why is he looking at my mate like that?

“Genevieve?” Alpha Joseph asked. Her face paled and it looked like she was about to faint when she walked up to him.

“Uncle Joseph?” She asked. I’m so confused.

“It is you! Oh how could this be?” He asked. He pulled her into a hug and I growled at him touching my mate. How do they know each other?

“My king. I’m sorry. My daughter and her were the closest of friends when they were little. Since my pack is so close to the Allaire kingdom, we were over there every week. Her father and mother agreed I would be her godfather. But she’s always known me as uncle. I would know her face anywhere. Even if she has grown into a beautiful woman. She is your mate?” He asked.

“Yes. So.. Genevieve?” I looked at Jess. Her eyes wide with shock.

“I uh.. yes my king.” She said. She lowered her head staring at the floor.

“You know my name. So you’re the princess?” I asked, walking up to her. She looked at me once again, but this time with sadness in her eyes. I pulled her in for a hug, taking in her delicious scent.

“Yes.” Is all she said. I knew it could be a possibility, but I wasn’t prepared for knowing she was for sure.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I just.. I was scared.” She said. She pulled away slightly, to look at my face. She gave me a timid smile.

“You have no reason to fear the king. He is a great man. He wouldn’t hurt anyone.” Joseph said to her. He’s right. I would never hurt someone who didn’t deserve it.

“Wait, so you ARE Aprils daughter? The woman was right? She recognized you.” Dakota said. She’s been standing in the same spot this entire time just listening to the conversation.

Genevieve turned and looked at her.

“I am.”
