Chapter 111 - Given to the Lycan King
***********************************Lincoln*******************************
Reaching the border of the rogue territory, we shifted back. Scouting out the area, there was no patrol, no guards,
"We are on the south side of the town," Tyler says, as he steps closer but not crossing over, "There are mainly houses on this side. In the small town, there are some shops and bars. There's not a lot, mostly empty buildings,"
A noise made us spin around. Ryland stepped out, followed by some of our warriors and Daniels,
"Ryland?" Dad calls his name,
He stood in front of us,
"You didnt think I would let you guys run off and have all the fun, did you,"
He shook Dad's hand, then mine,
I saw Daniels standing there looking out over the territory,
"Daniels," I step next to him. He glances over,
"I know you are going to tell me I didnt need to come, but you are wrong, sir. For many years, I have watched that girl suffer at the hands of others, and I was not able to do anything about it, but now, I can, so I am staying,"
I knew Daniels carried a lot of guilt about things that happened, But he took the chance and did something about it. I can see he cares for Willow. He did a hard thing most wouldn't when he went against his Alpha,
"I was going to thank you for coming; I appreciate it; you are a good man, Daniels, and a good pack member; you have looked out for her to the best of your ability. You have nothing to be guilty of,"
He looked at me, giving me a nod,
"Lincoln, we need to pinpoint where they are," Elder Lance says as he comes up next to me,
"I didnt see anything that would indicate where?"
He smiled as he turned, stepping in front of me,
"You dont need to. Your bond with her will lead your Lycan. Hers will call out to him. He will sort her out, and she will not even realize she is doing Her Lycan will naturally call to yours,"
"Isn't that with all mates?" Daniels asks,
"Yes, but with them, it is different,"
"Because she is a White Lycan?" Daniels says, making Lance look at him, "Yes, I know, I have been training with her,"
Lance nodded, "Yes, but it's a power she possesses, and dont know it yet; her Lycan will call her mate. They share a strong bond, and anyone can see it. I saw it the first day I arrived,"
"Okay, so what should I do,"
His eyes moved from Daniels to me,
"Let your beast lead you; do not try and fight him. Just allow him to follow his instincts, and he will go straight to her,"
A hand on my shoulder made me look. I saw Dad standing there,
"We will follow you and keep any wolves away from you,"
Nodding, I looked back forward across the thick woods. Letting my beast come forward, I gave him complete control. With a grunt, he took off; I pulled back, watching from the back of his mind as he ran through the woods. He stopped a few times, sniffing the air, looking in different directions, but then taking off,
A flash of Willow would play across our mind, and he would shift his direction. I could almost feel her presence the more we ran,
The rotting smell was more potent in this area. I saw the roof of a house ahead, and as we trudged through the bushes,
When the scent became so intense, we came to a halt, scanning the woods. A group of wolves jumped in front of us. Some were behind,
Letting out a growl as we took our stances, we were ready for a fight. We knew we wouldn't get in and out without one,
A man appeared, standing back a ways from the wolves before us. I recognized his face instantly. Hes the one in the images I saw. He was in the cell with her,
Rage ripped through me when it hit me. This is the Rogue King, As he calls himself, But he was no one, just a rogue who thought her had power. Well, little did he know he would die today,
He stood there, arms crossed with a smirk on his face,
"Stay alert. Im going to shift so I can talk to him," I linked Everyone. I heard them all grunt in response,
Shifting back, I mimicked him, Crossing my arms,
"Well, I must say, I am honored to have such highly-ranked people in my presence, but then I remembered who is in my presence,"
His disrespect does not bother me. I knwo he is talking out of his ass, trying to get a reaction out of me,
"I will give you one chance to hand over my mate and my sister,"
He blinks as he looks around, smiling, "Hmm," He scratches his chin, "Your mate and sister," He acts like he's thinking,
"I have a lovely lady that i do believe may be possible to be your mate," He stands, putting his finger to his lips,
"As for your sister, I was unaware you had any siblings, But I do have a feisty little teenager we picked up along the way,"
A growl came from behind me as River went to take a step,
"No, River, it's what he wants. Stand down," I call to him through the link,
I hear a chuckle as I turn back around. Looking straight at him, The look on his face was that of amusement,
"Im not here to give you my family tree, but if you dont give me my mate and sister back, I have no problem ripping your throat out myself,"
He threw his head back, laughing, clapping his hands together. When he settled down,
"And what makes you think im scared of you?"
His eyes glowing red,
"I dont care if you are. I came for my mate, and I will be leaving with her and my sister as well, so if it is a fight you are after, then you will get it,"
His smile widened as he clasped his hands together, letting them fall in front of him,
"How about I make you a deal? Hmm, How about we do a trade?"
I raised a brow, "Trade?" I asked,
"Yes, a trade. You see, I have something else you want, and seeing as I have no use for it, im willing to hand it over to you, but in return, you have to give me something,"
Squinting my eyes at him,
"What could you possibly have that I want?"
He held his hand out to the side,
"Let me go, you son of a bitch!"
Two large men came walking over, dragging a very pissed-off Holly. They threw him to the ground.
Letting out a growl at the sight of her, She lifted her eyes slowly, fear shown in them. Pushing herself up, she got to her feet as her body shook,
"Now, I am willing to give you this nice little gift, seeing as you have been hunting for her, but I want something in return,"
Moving my eyes off Holly to the man who stood there all smug,
"What is it you want?" I gritted out, trying to keep my control,
"Ah, well, that will have to wait until you decide. You must agree to take her, then I will tell you my demands, "
Letting out a brutal laugh,
"Do you think im an idiot? I would never agree to that. I dont care about this person. Let her run. I will find her again,"
His face turned red at hearing my words, His eye looking over at Holly,
"Well, if she is of no use to me," He waved his hand,
"No!" Holly screamed as the one guy grabbed her from behind, snapping her neck. Her lifeless body fell to the ground,
"Well, i guess on to the plan B," He smirks at me,
A surge of energy washed over me. I know that energy I have felt it before. I felt it the day when Willow needed help calming down,
My beast clawed under my skin. I was done listening to this guy. No more. I want my mate, and im going to get her even if I have to go through this delusional man standing here,
Without another thought, I let my Lycan surge forward, giving him free rein. As I pulled back, he wanted blood, and he would get his fill,
