The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 30

Hunters POV

Gen had surgery and everything went well. She’s now recovering. It’s been a day since we found her and she hasn’t been awake since she opened her eyes and passed back out.

“She’ll be okay.” Alpha Joseph said. He’s been sitting in here with me the entire time. The other alphas had to go, but Joseph said he wouldn’t leave until she woke up and they’ve said their goodbyes.

“I know. I just can’t believe they did this.” I said. I rubbed my face with my hands and leaned back in the chair.

“I can’t either. Jaden is done for. We will get him.” He placed his hand on my shoulder.

“I’m going to go get coffee. You want some?” He asked.

“That would be great. Thanks. Could you send Mathew in here?” I asked.

“Yeah I can do that.” He opened the door and walked out. A minute later Mathew comes in.

“Hey. How’s she doing?” He asked as he sat next to me. His red hair is pulled back into a bun. He still has Gens b***d on his arms and clothes. He found her first and took her down, then handed her to Joseph as they got attacked by other wolves.

He looks exhausted, well we all do. Nobody has slept since we found her.

“She’s doing okay. If it wasn’t for the wolfsbane she would have healed already. Just left with scars.” I said. I grabbed her hand and held onto in, running my thumb back and forth over the back of her hand.

“Her eyes.. when she opened them they were red.” I looked back at Mathew.

“Well yeah, she was dying.” Mathew said.

“No I mean.. her pupils weren’t hazel anymore. They were red.” I shook my head.

“Huh. I didn’t realize. Want me to have Mark look into that?” He asked.

“If you wouldn’t mind. I’ve never seen a Lycan or really anything with red eyes like that.” I shrugged my shoulders. I wonder what it was. Or maybe it was in my head, I don’t know.

“Yeah I’ll get right on that.”

“I’m so glad we got mate back.” Marcus purred.

“Gen. And yes me too.”

“She died.” He whined.

“Yeah I know. But thankfully she’s alive now.”

“We would’ve killed them all.”

A few hours later I’m still sitting here next to Gen. Her heart monitor starts beeping really fast. I shoot up out of my chair and hover over her. She starts tossing and turning as the doctor runs in.

“Is she okay?!” I ask. My heart rate spiking about as much as hers is.

“She seems fine, I think she’s just having a nightmare.” He said.

I grab her shoulders and lean into her neck, taking in a big deep breath. I almost forgot how intoxicating her smell is. Just me touching her she calms down. Her heart rate steadies. The bond is an amazing thing.

“Gen. Sweetheart. Can you wake up?” I ask. Running my fingers along the border of her beautiful face. The bruises are starting to turn yellow.

“She might not wake yet. Her body has been through so much.” The doctor said.

I look at her again, still caressing her face. Her eyes start moving under her eyelids and she slowly opens them.

“Gen. Hey you’re okay. I’m here.” I said.

She gives me a small grin and takes in a deep breath. Then her eyes shoot wide open.

“What happened? Where is he? Where am I?” She begs. Her eyes scanning the room and the doctor. I can smell her fear.

“You’re in the pack hospital. He’s gone. He ran before I could kill him. You’re okay.” I said.

“Do you not remember?” The doctor asked.

“I remember being in the chains. Being..” she trailed off.

“You don’t have to talk about that yet. Where does your memory stop?” I asked.

“I remember Luther.. the guy that whipped me. He got a mind link from someone.. and he started hitting me harder and that’s it.” She said. Tears filling up her beautiful eyes.

“I’m so sorry. I’m so so so sorry. I will never leave you alone again. I didn’t think they would be brave enough to come after you in the castle. Especially not with a Lycan guard outside the door.” I said. My eyes pleading for forgiveness.

“It’s not your fault. You couldn’t have known they’d come after me.” She cupped my face and gave me a smile.

“Yes it is. One of the guards outside got attacked. He almost didn’t make it. I left, thinking you’d be okay in our room. Clearly you weren’t. I’ve looked for you everywhere. I don’t know how I didn’t realize he’s the one that took you.” Now tears are rolling down my face.

“I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have you. Or how I would’ve handled losing you for good. You almost died. You did die. You almost left me forever.”

“But I am here. I knew you’d find me. I talked with the moon goddess.” She said.

The doctor and I both exchanged confused looks.

“What do you mean?” I raised an eyebrow at her.

“When I was in the chains. I couldn’t handle it. Everything went dark. And when I woke up, I walked through a forest and saw the moon goddess. She told me to fight, that you’d find me. So I did.” She said very calmly.

“Wow. I can’t believe it. You’ll have to tell me more about it when we get home.” I said.

The doctor left the room and Gen and I just sat here talking. She told me everything that happened and I was so mad. If Mathew hadn’t killed the guys in the room with her, I would have. I need to find that b*tch jaden. When I get my hands on him it won’t be pretty.

Without the evidence of the m******e, I can still have him put to death for kidnapping and torturing my mate. And I will. I’ve had guards search the woods for him, but he’s gone.

“I love you.” I said out of nowhere.

“You don’t have to say it back. Just know that I do.” She looks at me with a face full of love.

“I love you too.”
