lycan king and his human mate

chapter 1

Lucas

I was standing in front of my window facing the outside world. My heart is in turmoil thinking about the recent court matters.

People feared me for my ruthless character but that doesn't suppress the crime that had continuously been happening in my kingdom.

Crime is increasing day by day and people are afraid. I am more worried about humans. They don't have any superpowers like us or anyone to defend themselves.

I need a partner if I don't find her after I solve all of this matter on hand. I have been looking for her since I turned 20 and couldn't find my mate. This Kingdom needs a queen and also an heir.

I had a thing for Cara in the past when I was still in my early 20s. but she doesn't fulfil the feeling inside of my heart without a mate. I still feel incomplete without her. It's like the moon goddess didn't bless me with my other half.

My lycan still refuses my offer as soon as he hears that I am going to choose someone to be my mate and queen. He hated the very idea. I know that he is still waiting for his mate. He believes that she will come someday. But I can't listen to him anymore. my father had been telling me to choose someone and marked her. but my mother opposes him very much in that matter. I envy my parents. They are so lucky to have each other.

I heard a soft knock on the door. and I know who it could be.

" Come in," I said in my deep voice.

I heard the door open and my beta came in. all these years have learned who is who without even looking at them. I didn't look back. his footsteps came closer.

" Your Highness, they have arrived," he informed me. I have a strong urge to smack his head. I told him in the past when we are alone he doesn't have to be so formal with us. We kind of grew up together. He is more like my best friend than beta.

" Eden, just tell me how many times I have to tell you not to call me highness when we are alone,?" I asked annoyed.

" I am sorry your highness, I mean Lucas," he said and I rolled my eyes before turning to him completely.

" Come have a seat," I said as I walked away from the window and toward the couch. He followed me behind without a word. I like his company more than those officials. He is honest and the best when it comes to his duties.

" Are you alright?" Eden asked with concern. when I didn't talk to him for a long time.

" yes. How can I not be? I was just thinking about my mate," before I finished he stood up abruptly making me startle.

" You found your mate? when? where? Where is she? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked one after another. I sighed. This man can not sit down and listen. I sometimes pity his mate. She has to endure so much.

" Eden, sit down and listen before you go and make any conclusions,'' I said in my cold voice, which didn't affect him at all. and I am quite thankful for that as I tend to lose control easily. He has had a gift since he was a pup. the authoritative tone of alphas doesn't affect him.

" I am going to choose someone to be my mate. after this elite college problem, ''I said.

" But what about your mate? If she arrives after you chose someone. What are you gonna do? Are you going to reject her?" he asked.

" I don't know. I started to think that the moon goddess didn't bless me with my mate. you know I travelled around the world when I turned 22 just to find her. but I didn't. I can't stay single forever, Eden. I have a Kingdom and people to look after. What will happen to me? Who will take the responsibility? that's why I decided to choose someone from the circle to make her my mate," I told him. I am feeling much better than before. He didn't say anything and was staring at the little flower vase at the coffee table.

I know he doesn't support the idea of my chosen mate by the look of him. but he can't say anything to me.

The door opened with a loud bang and we both snapped our heads in that direction. Only one person in this whole kingdom dares to come into my room without knocking and that is my brother drake. his behaviour doesn't bother me anymore. I shook my head in disbelief. He doesn't find his mate just like mine. but he doesn't care. He told her she will come to him on her own if she exists.

" Hey," he said, coming inside.

" What are you doing here without me?" he said, sitting down on the couch.

''Are you planning something without telling me again?" he asked and pouted.

" that's not possible that we can plan something without you,'' I said as I rolled my eyes.

" I came here to tell you that they are having each other's heads now. you should go before our meeting room turns into a battleground," he said as he laughed imagining what he witnessed down there.

" And by the way your cousin brother idiot is coming next week," he said with a bored look. I know he hasn't liked him since he was young. and I still don't know the reason. He is our brother so he has to bear it.

" You mean Eliot?" I asked.

" Yes, that one," he said, getting up from the couch.

" All right, I have things to do. see you later," he said before scurrying out of the room.

" Let's go and see if there is any progress," I said and stood up.

I walked towards the door and Eden followed me behind.

As soon as I entered the meeting room all the commotion that could be heard from outside of the closed door was now silent. I walked towards the desk and sat behind it.

Eden gave me the file that was prepared by them. I took the file and started to read it. my eyebrow furrowed as I read further.

I threw the file angrily across the table in front of the members that came to join me today.

There were council members and other Alpha's across the globe who came here to join the meeting.

" How is this possible that no one was able to track down what was happening in that college?" my voice boomed in the meeting room.

I am angry at these people and also at the members of the council.

For the past six months, I have been notified that in the elite college something is going on. Every week one student disappears into thin air and no one knows where they have gone or what happened to them. Most importantly, they are all human.

The college wasn't for humans for many centuries but over the past few decades, our council decided to open it to humans as some of us also go into human towns for education. Many humans know about us but they are strictly forbidden to tell anyone.

" Just tell me, how am I supposed to work with this kind of data?" I said as I stood up from my seat and glared at them.

I am dealing here with the bunch of i***ts. they are not willing to step out there and investigate.

The blood moon pack sends their warriors to the college for investigation but to our surprise, they are also gone without any trace. the rumours have said that witches are behind this but I don't believe that s**t.

" No one is willing to go to that college, your highness," one of the alphas I suppose from the blue moon pack said.

" And you call yourself an alpha?" I asked in a sarcastic tone.

" How are you going to protect your people when you are not ready to risk your own life?" I asked as I slammed my hands on the table and made it crack in between.

I saw how they shivered and bowed their heads down in submission. they should hang their heads in shame. I still can't believe that I have these kinds of people in my kingdom.

" I am going," Lia said from the door. It was not the first time when I told her not to come into the meeting room and she sneaked in.

Lia is my sister and I love her with my life. She is much younger than me but in terms of strength, even my lycan warriors are afraid of her tactics. She is strong, smart, kind, and stubborn. I know she will go there even if say no. She is a one-adventure geek. and I don't entertain her idea at all. It's too risky. We still don't know what we are dealing with here. even the powerful alphas are backing out to go to the elite college.
