The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 25

Genevieves POV:

Why is everyone looking at me like that? I was half expecting them to be mad at me for keeping a secret, but it seems like they aren’t. I was only protecting myself. I didn’t know who to trust, but now the cats out of the bag so I’m not sure what’s next.

“It’ll be okay. Though you should’ve already told them. We’re safe with them.” Ophelia said.

“I didn’t know if I could trust them. I wanted to get a feel of the place first.”

“I can’t believe it! You could have just told us.” Dakota said.

“She didn’t trust us. That’s understandable after what she’s been through. He killed her parents. She was afraid they’d kill her too.” Hunter said. He grabbed my hand and kissed it.

“He did kill them. I remember them talking about it a couple days after. And he’s threatened to kill me just like them if I fought being his luna.”

“I know. I’m sorry. This is just crazy though.” Dakota replied rubbing her hand against her forehead.

“I always had a feeling. But I knew why you would lie, and I wanted it to be you to tell anyone here.” William said. He grabbed Dakota by her waist and pulled her close. I’m glad she found her mate.

“Yeah, I kind of had a feeling too.” Hunter said as he looked down at me.

Beta Mark and Gamma Mathew all looked at us.

“So if she’s the lost princess.. doesn’t that already make her a queen? Just of her own lands?” Mathew said.

“Yes it does. And when she’s made queen of these lands, she’ll rule over both kingdoms. Even if there’s not much left of her home land.” Mark said. I wonder what is left? I know not many people, but maybe there’s things left there of my parents?

“Could we go there sometime?” I asked. I looked at Hunter with pleading eyes.

“I don’t see why not.”

I see Hunter, Mark, and Mathew tense up.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Someone has passed into our land again.” Mark said. Hunter has already started walking towards the main doors.

“Stay here Gen. I’m going to go look. I want guards with her at all times. I want a few of you to come with me.” Hunter said as he opened one of the doors.

“Would you like us to come with you?” Alpha Joseph asked. I’m unsure of who the others are.

“You stay with Gen. Alpha Landon and Robert, I’d like you both to come with me. The guards out back said they caught a faint scent. Nothing from the ones up front. William I’d also like if you’d stay with the girls.” Hunter said.

“Yes my king.” They all said in unison.

They disappeared outside within seconds and then Dakota turned to me.

“Go up to your room. I’ll have the guards start bringing the bags up. I’ll be up there soon, I just want to go change. These heels are killing me!” She said as she took them off and headed for the stairs. I laughed. I don’t know how she could wear them all day long. The ones I wore for the festival I wanted to rip off within ten minutes.

“So.. my Queen. How does it feel to finally have them know your real name?” William asked raising an eyebrow at me and smirking.

“I don’t know. It feels nice, but also weird. I haven’t been called by my real name in 10 years.” I said. The last time I heard my name, was when my mother put me to bed that night. I miss her so much.

“I can imagine. Well just in case you were wondering my name is still William!” He said with a serious face. I looked at him and him, Joseph and I couldn’t help the laughter that spilled out of our mouths.

After our laughing session, Hunter and the others returned.

“There were a few scents. But we didn’t find anyone. It’s like they disappeared in the middle of the yard.” He said.

“Maybe whoever it was used masking spray?” William asked.

Masking spray covers werewolf scents making them almost nonexistent. They’re really hard to come by, so whoever it was must’ve paid good money for it.

“Possibly. I really don’t like this. Something isn’t right. I can feel it.” Hunter said. He walked towards me and grabbed me pulling me in for a hug. He put his face in my hair and took a deep breath.

“Dinner will be ready here soon. We have about 30 minutes to get ready. I’d like everyone here to join us.” He said.

“Yes my King. I’m completely starving. I’d love to join for dinner.” The man who I believe is alpha Landon said as he rubbed his stomach.

“Just don’t be late! Maria will kill us all!” Dakota said as she ran down the stairs. I had completely forgotten about my bags.

“I went to your room and you weren’t there! I was worried!” Dakota screamed.

“Sorry! I forgot and was talking to William and Joseph.” I said.

“That’s fine. The guards have already started to bring your bags up there. You have to wear one of the new outfits for dinner!” She said.

“She will. We’re going to go get ready.” Hunter said as he pulled me to the stairs.

By the time we got to the room the guards had finished bringing up the last of my things.

“Wow you did get a lot didn’t you?” Hunter asked.

“I couldn’t stop her.” I looked at him for any sign of anger but he never showed any. Thank goddess.

“You’re not mad, right?” I asked.

“No. I told you no limit.” He laughed.

We start getting ready and I’m pulling on a new blouse I had gotten. It was light pink with long puffy sleeves. I also put on some jeans and pulled my hair into a ponytail.

I looked at Hunter who was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and jeans. He caught me looking and smiled at me.

“You look amazing Gen.” He said. He walked up to me and kissed my forehead.

“Thank you” I said. I looked up to him to give him a k**s when his eyes glazed over.

“Someone attacked one of our guards by the front gate. I have to go. I’ll send a guard up here. Maria will understand if we’re a bit late for this.” He said. He pecked my lips and ran out of the door.

A few minutes later I was trying to figure out how to put on something called mascara. I felt a slight breeze on the back of my arms and turned around and walked into the bedroom and saw one of the windows was open.

I went to close it when I was met with a prick to my arm and a cloth over my mouth. My arm burns with whatever it was that in was stuck with. The cloth smelled funny and I tried to s****m but the hand wouldn’t allow me to. They sprayed something on my face and next thing I know, my eyes are getting heavy and I can’t stay awake.
