Astrid's POV
I can't believe this, my mate is the Lycan king? King of all lycans and werewolves, I know I always prayed to the moon goddess to bless me with a mate on my 18th birthday but I never thought it would be this soon, neither did I think it would be none other than the mighty Lycan king whom I've only ever heard tales and good deeds about and I never would have believed he would be my mate, I've heard about how handsome and strong he is, and ladies who fall at his feet just at the mere sight of him and that many shewolves, lycans and other supernatural creatures wished to be with him but he never accepted their advances and warned them because he has been waiting for his mate for the past 12 years but he never gave up on her and swore that he would never take a chosen mate, even when other supernaturals tried to use their daughters to seduce him so he would mark them as his mate and they would become the queen of lycans he refused.
It was said that his younger siblings were all mated too, including his friends which are his beta, gamma and delta, still he remained celibate, he never even took any one to his bed just to satisfy his needs, tho as a Lycan his beast would have wanted to lay around to satisfy their needs but still both him and his beast never looked at any female and some even thought he was gay, many she wolves and lycans had even gone so far as to sneak into his bedroom and lay naked waiting for him so they can seduce him and make him mate and mark them but he never fell for it and warned, even banished the ones who still didn't listen and kept looking for other approach to get into his bed again and yet here he is, all mine, my mate.
I was scared at first as I laid my eyes on him thinking he would reject me but he didn't and even shocked me when I saw the look in his eyes, approval, love, longing that was when I realized that I had been afraid for nothing because he was never going to reject me.
His gold eyes looking deeply into my blue eyes, his dark hair which was as dark at the night under the full moon, his Greek god like body, his dimples as he smiled, everything about him was screaming perfection and I could believe he was mine and I was his, and then he bent down and claimed my lips and I could her sworn there were butterflies in my belly he was so sweet and tasted just like he smelled I was on cloud nine I didn't want it to stop but then his friend which I assumed were either his beta, gamma or delta came and interrupted, tho I didn't feel shy being naked because as werewolves and lycans it's normal being naked, but I still felt a bit uncomfortable because this was the first time I was being naked in front of anyone and I thank the moon goddess that my scars had almost completely faded when I shifted, but then he was so sweet and then he wrapped his jacket around me and he pulled me closer, I felt like melting, I wanted to be in his embrace forever and never leave his side but of course the moon goddess had other surprises for us and a man came , who called himself the kings royal advisor and he congratulated us and told us about a prophecy which I think has to do with my golden wolf too and then my mate insisted we follow him so we could talk more, which we did.
While we were talking he gave us an ancient text to read about the prophecy which was written by the ancient ones about our bond and the power it holds, to be honest, I never knew it was this deep, neither did I know my mate knew about the prophecy, this isn't going to be a small issue, we won't be fighting alone, but we would be fighting together.
We would have to gather our alliances to be able to defeat the evils lurking in the shadows, I just pray to the moon goddess that we won't lose our loved ones in this battle because it's going to be bloody, it will be one of the greatest war in the supernatural world, but I'm not afraid because I have a family now, people I could call my own and a place I could call home.
While reading we suddenly heard a loud crash echoing through out the chamber, followed by a growling sound and that didn't sound like werewolves or lycans. We didn't even have time to think of how they got here without us sensing them, we are Lycan's and as lycans we are supposed to sense them from miles away even before they entered the red mist pack, this only means someone here is working with them.
When we turned, we saw a group of shadowy figure and that was when we realized what the prophecy was talking about, and without hesitation we stood, ready to face whatever evil lies ahead waiting for us.
