The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 53

Hunter POV

I woke up this morning feeling something going on with Genevieve through the bond. I couldn’t tell what it was, besides.. all she said was she wasn’t feeling the best and Marcus said Ophelia didn’t know.

I got a call earlier about a woman’s body found not too far from here. Closer to the next town over, by the bridge. So I left Genevieve at the castle with the elites. There’s no one I trust more than them besides Mark and Mathew.

“My king, so glad you could make it. If you’d follow me please, I’ll show you to her.” Alpha Johnson said. He’s a pretty good man, and an even better alpha. We’ve known each other for a while, and I was actually with him when he found his luna.

This is the third body found this month, so I’ve made it a top priority to find out what’s going on. They’ve all been killed the same, throats slit, sexually assaulted, burned, arms and feet marked from chains that were wrapped around them before they were dumped after they were cut up.

Poor girls. They suffered a whole lot before they were murdered. I couldn’t ever imagine being in a position like that. I don’t even want to think about it. It’s horrible.

“And just like the others?” Mathew asked.

“Yep. Exact same. It’s giving me serial killer vibes.” Johnson said he ran his fingers through his bleach blonde hair.

“Do we know who she is?” I ask.

“A wolf named Ruby from my pack. She has been missing for a week.”

“Any children?” Mathew asked.

“She has 2. One is 4 months the other is 2 years.” Johnson sighed.

“Damn. That’s terrible. What’s being done about it so far?” I ask.

“Umm we’ve double patrol around the border. I even have a few positioned outside the border. If anyone or anything steps close again, I’ll know.” Johnson said as he opened up the morgue door.

When we walk in I’m hit with the smell of formaldehyde and embalming fluid. The air cold and stale. In the middle of the room there’s a table with a body on it, she’s covered halfway.

“Here she is. We’ve got her cleaned up and the cause of death is as you can see slit throat. But she was alive when she was being cut up. Approximate time of death was a few days ago. We felt her link sever from the pack.” Johnson says.

“We’re sorry for your packs loss. I know things like this are never easy. Who found her and when?” I ask as I walk up to the girls body. My heart stops the second I see her.

“She looks a lot like mate.” Marcus whined.

“Yes she does. Its odd. Why?”

“No idea. But I’m sure we’ll find out soon.” He said.

“One of the guards. She’s a little messed up about it. Hasn’t slept or ate since. Little ruby here was found yesterday morning. I wouldn’t have called, but this is the third one. And I know you have the best team for this sort or thing.” Johnson said. And he is right, I do have the best team when it comes to serial killers.

Usually, nobody messes with me. My reputation isn’t the nicest. I’ve heard some things about how ruthless and evil I am.. but only to those that oppose me. Or hurt the ones I care for.

My team of elites are perfect for this sort of thing. They can track, the can move silently and kill you in a heartbeat. They’re the deadliest men ever, besides me of course. Not even the vampires would dare to try and kill me or my men.

“Yes, I’ll have my men on it in no time. Can’t have a serial killer out and about, going from pack to pack killing she wolves. I’ll get this taken care of.” I say. I look again at the girl who resembles Genevieve. Her face is starting to hollow, and her skin color isn’t normal. Her long black hair making my heart race, she looks too much like Genevieve. I need to get back, I need to hold her and know she’s okay.

“HUNTER! Get in here NOW. Genevieve is in heat and Connor just attacked her!” I hear Dakotas panicked voice through the mind link.

“What? Get everyone out. No males mated or not. If she is who we believe her to be, she won’t be safe around anyone unless female. I’m coming.”

“Hurry!” She screams. The link closes but I feel a very panicked Genevieve through the bond. I need to get home now.

“I have to go. I’m sorry. My mate, she’s.. I have to go. I’ll send my team.” I say as I run out of the morgue.

“What’s happening?” Mathew asks as he follows me to the car.

“Genevieve is in heat. In a castle full of Lycans.” I say frantic as I start the engine and pull out of the driveway.

“Oh no. Let’s go hurry.” He says. I feel his worry floating around us, not that I needed extra worry or anything.

I wish I hadn’t left. I should’ve sent Mark. I should be there.

“I’m 20 minutes away!” I mind link Dakota.

“I don’t think she has 20 minutes. She’s ripping her hair out. And she’s- oh goddess no.” She cuts off. I look at Mathew with wide eyes and he furrows his brows.

“What?! What is it? What’s going on? Is she okay?” I s****m, panic filling my entire body. I feel like I’m on fire.

“We sent them all away. Off of the pack grounds until you get here.. they did, but they’re all back. They’ve all shifted and they’re outside the front door!” Dakota screamed. I slammed on the breaks and Mathew looks at me.

“What?” He asks. I rip out of my seatbelt and shove the door off the car.

“We have to shift. We won’t make it in time.” I say. I shift and I run towards the woods, hoping I make it in time to save my mate from what’s to come.
