The packs were uneasy. The news of the Lycan king's death was
unsettling. The pack leaders were worried about the safety of their
members. The taking out of Luna's uncle a who was from the most
prominent and royal family had unhinged the members but Luna's
presence in the palace and the strength of the Lycan king appeased
them but now that he was gone, things were not where it should be.
Luca's grandfather, the old King had stated that Luca should rule but
this was undoubtedly going to be challenged by some of the Beta's of
the royal bloodline. They already referred to him as a half breed. Luca,
at the moment was not concerned about all that. He just wanted to lay
his father to rest. He was busy with the preparations. Although there
were persons to handle it, he felt like he needed to do something, so he
oversaw everything with Luna by his side.
She was a breath of fresh air in those trying times. All he had to do was
look at her and he would feel like everything was going to be fine.
Deep down he knew that Lydia was still out there, and he needed to kill
her so that the packs would be settled once more. He knew that there
was unrest and had planned to take care of everything after the
ceremonies were done.
Luca sat down on his fatherâs bed staring into the nothingness. He
remembered how his parents had spoiled him when he was little and
how everything was perfect. His father had been so happy back then.
Although his mother was a half breed, Luca had always been the
strongest. He even beat his father when training privately. He still had
so much to learn though. He cried in silence as he realized that his
father was truly gone. If he had not been so weak and spoiled to let
Nina get so close to him then maybe his father would still be alive.
She's lucky that sheâs dead because he felt like he could reap her to
shreds right now. But no matter Lydia would feel his wrath. He was
worried about how he would kill her though. She had magic on her
side. He needed an edge to find her and protect him from the spells
that she cast.
He had to be smart about it. He now was responsible for his kind and
had to be less reckless. He needed to be smart and make better
decisions, he couldn't appear weak in the eyes of his people. He only
started to realize why his father wanted him to stay in the pack and not
go to school in the human realm. He wanted him to concentrate on
finding a mate. He only started to understand his father and the
pressure that he was under to secure an heir.
He thought that his father was going to be around forever, but destiny
proved him wrong. He now had to grow up and fight to take control of
the throne at such a tender age. He had one thing going for him. He
had found his mate. He didn't know how much she was going to help
him through this situation. He didnât know about her abilities yet. As he
lay down on his father's bed, he realized how much pain Luna must
have endured as he felt his own pain of the loss of his father.
He went to get ready and stopped by to pick up Luna for the
Ceremony. It was something that they needed to do together to be
able to move on with their lives. They needed to say goodbye to the
ones that they loved. Now it was just the two of them. He was relieved
that he had found her. He needed to put his father to rest in order to
concentrate on her and making her his bride.
The ceremony was beautiful and very well planned. The organizers did
a wonderful job. They shed a few tears but not too many as the people
couldn't see them portrayed as weak. As an alpha one had to be ready
for anything including death. His father had handled his well. Not even
his only son knew that he was facing death. He hoped that he could be
as good a leader as his father was. He had big shoes to fill and he
needed to prove himself to take up his father's touch.
