Lydia
We stood in the square Caden and Marcus making sure none left. There were so many guilty looking people and many of the working class glared viciously at the upper class and the elder. Soon Miana was back with a whole gaggle of children and my heart broke at the sight of them. Cassie took my hand and led me to the scared children.
"Hi, my name is Lydia, I'm here to help along with my friends."
"Are those Lycan's?"
A taller boy asked. I looked at him and I knew immediately he was not human but a half breed. He towered protectively over all the kids his eyes wide while looking at Marcus and Caden. I called Marcus over
"Why yes they are, Beta Marcus and Beta Caden."
Marcus stood behind me looking over the kids his expression getting angrier by how gaunt they were, he was scaring them to the point the older boy puffed his chest and stepped in front of the kids.
I rolled my eyes and slapped Marcus' chest causing all the kids to gasp
"Quit staring all menacing you're scaring them."
All the kids gasped and the boys eyes were as big as saucers. Before I could say anything Marcus started to sniff around the boy his eyes darkening.
"Where are your parents?"
The boy gulped loudly and took a deep breathe.
"Dead Beta, my mother for four years now. None liked the fact that she had a child with a Lycan. I don't know about my father sir."
Marcus stared at the boy his eyes black and his canines elongated and I grabbed his arm.
"Marcus calm down."
His voice was gruff and showed his Lycan was the one in control.
"I am calm Beloved. I know who this boys father is, he was one of Sol's followers, he had a bad habit of raping women in hopes to have offspring. This child is the only one who has survived."
The boy sunk to his knees his face glued to Marcus' and in it was disgust.
"He, he......I'm going to be sick."
And he followed through with his statement. He ran to the corner of a building and puked until he was crying and dry heaving. Marcus slowly walked to him and touched his shoulder.
"The father does not make the man, a man is made from his own choices. I can see by how these kids are around you that you are their protector, a good man. How old are you and what is your name?"
"16 s-sir and my name is Darian"
Marcus nodded, eyes glazing over and soon Caden was there.
"This boy will be coming with us. He has much to learn about his Lycan heritage and I think being around us will be the best for him. Once we reach our camp I will send him on under my crest to train."
Caden nodded and clasped the boys hand.The boy looked back at the children.
"B-but who will look after them?"
Caden smiled and winked at him.
"I have called the sisters, they will care for them until their parents come to get them. Those that have no parents will stay with the sisters."
The boy sniffed, wiped  his eyes and nose on the back of his arm and nodded.
"May I say goodbye?"
Marcus and Caden both smiled and nodded. They called me over and I left the children to talk amongst themselves.
"Alaina here is in favor of squeezing the elder until he pops, what do you think Beloved?"
I looked at the man who now sat on his ass in the mud silently crying.
"I think that all his wealth will go to the families he robbed. Give them something to come back to. Once your men arrive I think it would be best to further investigate what has gone on here. The wealth should be distributed back to those it was stolen from. Do you have a family elder?"
He looked at me and shook his head no, when I went to ask he stopped me with his comment.
"I like men Beloved, so no I have no family."
I nodded and looked toward Alaina
"I think we need to find the nearest temple and see if it's ready for the girls, I'm afraid to leave them alone though."
Caden tapped my shoulder
"No worries Beloved I will leave 10 men at each temple and I'm sure Marcus will as well. There is a temple close to here that the Kings men have been working on."
I nodded and looked to Marcus
"What do you want to do?"
He thought for a moment and then said
"Have the elder taken to the cells, have the children stay in his home until their parents and the sisters get here. We shall find a room and stay until the children are in good hands. Caden how long will it take for your men to get here?"
Caden thought then his eyes glazed over
"They will be here tomorrow afternoon, I can pass off everything to my Sargent, he will be sure that all goes smoothly so we can leave the day after tomorrow."
We all nodded and as the elder was escorted to the cells we noticed many people had slipped away.
"Go back to your homes or work, there is nothing else to be seen today."
Caden's words rang through the square and as everyone began moving we all walked to the children. We called over a woman to take us to the elders house and to ask if there's anyone that can see to the kids this evening.
"I can if that's okay? I was a school teacher here before the elder closed it since all the kids were made homeless, and the rich have their own teachers."
Alaina grabbed her hand and smiled at her. We all thanked her and went in search of rooms for ourselves. We found the inn and got two rooms, Marcus was adamant that I was in a room with him. We got settled in and went down for dinner. The room suddenly went quiet when we walked in. Marcus and Caden towered over the tallest man and the women all tried their best to catch their eyes. There were several death glares thrown at Alaina and I. We ate in silence and then went to our rooms. Again Marcus made a pallet on the floor and I took the pillow and blanket from the bed and laid it alongside his. He raised an eyebrow and I shrugged
"I sleep better with you, so you sir are stuck with me."
He chuckled and began disrobing. I lost all train of thought and track of what I was doing as I stared at his nakedness. With just his shirt off he took my breath away and when he turned towards me a shiver ran through me. He was literal perfection and I was finding it hard not to jump him. My eyes slowly looked up from his sexy V to his eyes and I noticed they were dark and he was panting. I already knew I was soaked my thighs clenching with want.
"I can smell you."
The shivers that went through me made me gasp and then he was in front of me hands on my hips, fingers gripping tightly and his forehead on mine.
"I have fought with myself because you are the Beloved, but I and my Lycan want you and I refuse to take no for an answer."
My breath came in short burst and as his fingers gripped me I gasped sending him over the edge. His right hand left my hip and grabbed the back of my hair, he looked at me his eyes flashing green and almost black.
"I'm yours"
I whisper and his eyes got wide and then his lips are on mine. I have been waiting so long for him to kiss me and I am not disappointed. They are plush and smooth and strong, and when his tongue glides across my bottom lip my mouth willingly opens for him. I moan as his tongue meets mine and this just pushes him harder. After several minutes our lips part and we are panting forehead to forehead. I slowly step back causing him to growl and with a smirk on my face I take my dress up over my head leaving me in my panties. My smile widens as I hear the growl that comes from deep in his chest, that sound makes my body shiver with want and I can't help but bite my lip. I try to steady my breathing but seeing his eyes darken makes it hard as my body is responding to him.
