The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 40

Sarahs POV

I honestly believed no one knew about my birthday. And I was planning on going through the day like any other day. Staying busy, helping around where I can.

But when the girls said it we were getting all dressed up for Alpha Joseph’s birthday, it kind of stung that it was also my birthday. Though they did make me feel pretty.

We walked down the stairs, and instead of going to the front door we turned for the ballroom. I was confused but nevertheless I stayed with them.

When the doors opened, I could see many wolves and Lycans wearing dresses and suits. Everyone’s smiling, looking at me with excitement in their eyes. A smile grows on my face as I realize what’s going on.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!” Everyone screams.

“Happy birthday.” Genevieve said. I quickly hugged them both.

I felt a tingle shoot up my spine. Goosebumps raise across my skin and I turn back to the ballroom. I smell the most amazing smell ever. It’s like, the woods and.. oranges?

“Mate” Isabella said. My Lycan and I met about an hour ago.

“Where?” I look around the room when I meet his eyes.

“There. Go to him.”

I walk about halfway into the room as he walks towards me.

“Mate.” He purrs as he grabs my waist and pulls me against him. My skin tingles at his touch when he wraps his hand around my neck and pulls me in for a k**s. His beautiful lips pressing against mine, making my core burn with desire.

I pulled away from him and I could feel my face drain of all b***d. Everyone was staring with a huge smile on their faces. I just made out with the most gorgeous man ever.. right in front of everyone.. at my birthday party.

“I’ve waited for you forever, mate.” He says. His blue eyes searing into my soul. He runs his finger down my arm and grabs my hand.

“Happy birthday. You look breathtaking.” He says. His lips curled into a smile. Chills run down my back again thinking about his k**s.

“Oh my goddess, Sarah!! You found your mate! And to think he’s been right here this entire time.” Dakota squealed. She pulled me into a quick hug and as she left to dance, she wriggled her eyebrows at me.

“Man, I’m so glad you found your mate. Now you can annoy Sarah here, instead of me.” The king says.

“I didn’t believe I’d find her. But I guess here I am. I had a feeling, but I didn’t want to scare her if I was wrong.” My most delicious mate said. I literally can’t believe he’s my mate.

“I’m so happy for you, Sarah. I was really hoping you’d find your mate tonight.” Genevieve said.

“I’m happy for you guys. You guys are perfect!” She continued on. She gave me a huge smile before turning around to dance with the king.

I was a little jealous when she found her mate. I have dreamt of having a mate for years. But never in a million years did I imagine he would be close to the king. Especially not one of his closest people. His beautiful blue eyes, perfect brown hair, fantastic body, just too good to be true.

When they would train, I’d find myself standing in the training room door just watching. He’d catch me and give me a big smile. When I first saw him, I felt an attraction to him. And when I realized he was my mate.. I about p*ssed myself.

“Would you like to dance, my lovely Sarah?”

“I would love to.” I replied.

He grabbed my waist and pulled my closer, placing my arms on his shoulders and pulled me into him. In that moment there was no one else here but us, and I had already fallen in love.

Some people would call that naive, but it’s the way things normally are. When you find your mate, it’s incredibly hard to stay away from each other.

Lycans get one mate, and one mate only. Unlike werewolves who get second chance mates, that’s not what happens with us. There’s only one person made for us. They are our other half.

I’ve never felt so complete in my life. When he looks into my eyes I feel at peace. If I died right now, i would have died the happiest woman alive.

He twirls me around and dips me, making many of the women around gasp and squeal. I’ve seen many of the pack ladies obsess over him, following him around and trying to get him to show interest before today.

“How is your birthday? Are you having fun?” He asks.

“It’s amazing. I never would have thought I’d get a party. And I’ve always wanted my mate, but I never expected to find him tonight.”

“Well, I’m glad you did. Anyone of these men would have been lucky to have been mated to you. Turns out I’m the luckiest.” He purrs as he spins us around.

He’s taller than me by a good foot. His huge muscles moving around me, making my heart race when he touches me.

When the music slows down and stops playing, he pulls my forehead to his and takes a deep breath.

“You’re so beautiful. And you smell like heaven.” He says. He pulls my lips to his as his finger traces down my spine and stops right above my a**.

His tongue enters my mouth and he swirls it around mine, causing my knees to go weak. But before I can fall his grip on me tightens and he chuckles.

“That’s okay mate. You make my legs weak too.” He purrs.

“But at least you’re better at hiding it in front of all these people.” I say.

“That would be true. Being so close to the king kind of does that.”

“I can imagine.” I reply.

We dance and talk for a couple of hours before everyone starts heading outside for the run.

“I can’t wait to run with mate.” Isabella purrs.

“Me neither. Please, be on your best behavior.” I laugh. She laughs and moves to the back of my mind until it’s her turn.

When we make it outside, everyone is standing waiting to shift.

“Just head behind there and undress. We’re all waiting for you.” Dakota says as she points to a changing divider.

I walk behind it and start undressing, feeling my first shift getting closer and closer. The second I get my last shoe off I feel like I’m on fire. My skin burning and itching as my Lycan takes control. I walk back out to everyone.

I’m not sure how long it takes me, though it did feel like forever. My sight is so sharp, I can see little details in things I never did before. My smell.. I can smell everyone. But there’s one person who stands out the most, and that would be my handsome mate.

He runs his fingers through my fur making Isabella purr. She rubs her face against his, and before I know it he’s shifted. I see everyone shifting and his big brown Lycan looks at me and nods his head.

I take off, running towards the woods. With my mate hot on my tail. Wolves and Lycans howl as they begin to run, passing me as I play around with mate.

“Are you ever going to say his name?” Isabella asked.

“Yes, sorry. Saying his name just makes it more realistic.” I replied.

“Happy birthday, Sarah. You know he was made for us. It’s real.” She says.

“You’re right. Let’s just enjoy our run with our mate. Mark.”
