The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 76

Dakota’s POV:

When I heard the screaming I had no idea what was going on. What I did know, was that something had gone completely wrong in that dungeon.

I loud growl made the castle shake, I felt the vibrations echo off the concrete floors. I knew instantly it was my brother. But I couldn’t tell what he was feeling. Was that anger? Fear? Whatever it was, it left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I ran to him, I felt him growing closer, and I could smell the singed hair and burnt flesh the instant I saw him coming up those stairs with my best friend limp in his arms. I ran down the hallway and met him on the stairs and as we walked to his room he explained.

She has always been the kindest and most loving person. I never could’ve imagined her killing that girl. Taking a life for the first time. I do hope this doesn’t break her.

When Hunter mentioned he questioned Genevieve about the alpha.. I knew it would be bad. My brother is truly an i***t sometimes. And this could ruin their bond. He knows as well as everyone else in this hallway.

The doctor came and examined her and did an ultrasound. You can see much but a tiny little grape thing with squiggles around it, but it’s definitely there. Thankfully, they’re both fine, she just used too much energy. Though the doctor did say he’s surprised the baby still lives.

“What do you mean?” Hunter glared at the doctor with cold and dangerous eyes. The doctor takes a big gulp and visibly shakes as he speaks.

“That would’ve killed any other fetus. You’re very lucky. Your mate must have protected the child.. there’s no other explanation.” The doctor says. Hunter growls but nods.

“But they’re both fine, right?” I asked. I looked over at Gen who was deep asleep. Hunter stares at his hand that’s holding hers and I know he’s feeling guilty.

“Yes, they’re both fine. She’ll probably sleep the rest of the night and maybe tomorrow. It seems her body is in some healing sleep.” The doctor says. Hunter nods his head and the doctor turns for the door.

“Let me know if I can help in any other way, my king. My wife and I will be praying to the goddess that our queen wakes soon.” The doctor turns back towards Hunter and bows.

“Thank you,” Hunter says. The doctor disappears into the hallway and Hunter and I are left alone with Gen.

“She’s okay,” I said. I feel for my brother. What he saw and what’s been happening, nothing seems to go right for him.

“You want to know what I said to her? I said “You what? You were f*cking him?” I felt disgusted. Angry. I wanted to tear him into tiny pieces. I was so angry because I thought she made me believe I needed to save her. But in all reality, she was sleeping with him the whole time. But that’s not the case, no. She was a kid! I want to kill him! The f*cked up part is that I can’t. I can’t even kill the man who tormented my mate for years, all because of some stupid trial!” He screamed.

“Will she even survive killing Serene? Or him? Or what about that vampire ancestor? Do you think she will survive all of that?” He asked. And for a second my answer was no. No, because she’s not that kind of person, the kind to be okay with taking lives. But then I realized. She’s so strong. She’s gone through hell and back, she can survive anything.

“She can, and she will. She is so strong Hunter. This is who she is meant to be. She will do what it takes, and she will be stronger for it.” I said.

“I don’t know.”

“We will see. Just wait.” I say.

“Change the topic. It’s a sore subject. He will soon find out.” Ambrose says. She’s been giving me the silent treatment because I still haven’t changed William.

“I thought you weren’t speaking to me,” I said to her, yet I was met with silence. I roll my eyes and look at Hunter.

“What do you think about me changing William?” I asked.

“I thought you would have done it already.” He says, turning away from Gen and facing me.

“I’ve been.. pushing it off. Both him and Ambrose are p*ssed about it. I just don’t know, I think.. what if he’s like Evan? What if he sleeps with other girls and lies? At least when he’s a werewolf I can kick his a**.” I say. Hunter laughs and walks over to me, sitting next to me.

“Genevieve trusts him with her life. They are like family. She has already told me he has been waiting for his mate for so long. He’s done nothing but help, and he’s been good to you so far. Look. I know Evan was a real piece of work, but I can tell you William isn’t like him. I knew instantly with Evan. William? Kota, when he looks at you, his eyes are filled with so much love. He looks at you the way Mark looks at Sarah, or I look at Gen.” He says looking at Genevieve.

“So change him already.” He continued.

I nod, I guess he’s right. William has never given me any reason to question him. So I shouldn’t hold Evans’ actions against him. We sat in silence for a moment before I stood up.

“I’m gonna go talk to William. Keep me updated on her.” I said and he nods.

“And when she wakes up, don’t p*ss her off. She’s not just any normal Lycan. She’s a quadbrid.” I say and walk out of his room.
