Chapter five: Her rescue

" It's my honor hosting you in my pack, my King" Alpha Greg greeted the Lycan king and a man in a blue suit beside him who I guessed to be his Beta, Cassie holding her arms in Alpha Greg's arm.

" It's my pleasure attending your engagement ceremony, Alpha Greg" The Lycan king responded.

I raised my hand to my chest as I saw the Lycan king in the Bloodmoon pack. I never knew he would be here. He would probably know that I was talking about Alpha Greg of the Bloodmoon pack yesterday. I was so ashamed I lied to him and right now I felt a pang of guilt in my chest.

" The Lycan king has a little gift for the beautiful Luna-to-be" The man in the blue suit, Beta Ernest, noted, Cassie brighten her face with blush.

" Oh, it's my honor to receive a gift from the Lycan king" Cassie jumped up and said, Alpha Greg's eyes growing sour. Alpha Greg must have been embarrassed about Cassie's excess joy.

" Come on, Alpha! We have prepared a decent meal for you when we heard you will be coming tonight. Some herbs can help you have a nice sleep" Cassie spoke louder and audibly.

" Good, my pleasure to have my first meal in the Bloodmoon pack," The Lycan king said and moved up to the dinner table where some foods, wines, fruits, and delicacies were placed.

I was behind the curtain, eavesdropping on their conversation since the arrival of the Lycan King. The Lycan king was about to eat my food, I pray he love it.

" Wow! It tastes good" The Lycan king applauded Cassie as he took a spoon of the meal.

" My mother was the pack's caterer before her death and I learned all these from her," Cassie said, giggling and smiling at the Lycan king. Alpha Greg looked through her lashes and shook his head. He must have known the scumbag liar he was getting married to by now.

I was the one that prepared the meal on the dinner table but here was Cassie taking the merits. She was just a bunch of heck I had ever known.

" I will be happy to see your Luna too someday so that I can teach her how to make a meal like this" Cassie added, smiling. The Lycan King's face hardened that Alpha Greg could notice.

" I don't have a Luna yet!" The Lycan king said and dropped his spoon on the table.

" Oh, I am sorry, my king if this turns you off. Please continue with your meal, I pray the Moon goddess provides you with one of the beautiful she-wolves out there" Cassie Said, The Lycan king now smiling.

" We have a lot of women in the backyard Incase you need millions of them tonight" Cassie assured the Lycan King.

" I will go with just one" The Lycan king responded.

Cassie called a girl in the backyard to come but the Lycan king rejected her. The Lycan insisted that he was yet to

" Are you Ellen?" A strange voice asked from behind as I was peeping on the visitors. I redressed in a jiffy. I squatted and begin to rub the tiles with the rag in my hand in pretense.

Just as the steps were closer to me, I looked back and saw Beta Ernest of the Nightwind pack. How manage did he get to know my name? The Lycan king must have gotten some information about me somehow and was probably here for me.

" Yes, I am" I responded in a surprise as Beta Ernest walked up to me with a little package in his hand.

" My king is very lucky to have a damsel like you," Beta Ernest said and offered me the package in his hand. I seemed not to understand what he meant by that though. I just looked at him with wide eyes. I was sure the Lycan king had told him everything that happened last night.

" What's that in your hand?" I asked him.

" My king asked me to give you this golden watch for your birthday gift," Beta Ernest said and gave it to me and sneaked out of my presence.

I collected the golden watch with prestige and felt so important for the first time in my entire eighteen years as I blush extremely at the golden watch that was glittering in my hand. I wore it on my left hand and my wolf kicked for the first time after rejection. She must have loved it.

This Lycan king seemed to be nice and caring. He even offered me a golden wristwatch for my birthday instead of making me cry. Who else could be called a family, a friend, and a relative if not him? I would accept to be his second chance mate.

" Ellen, bring us a glass of strawberry" Cassie's voice called from the dinner table.

Oh! This scumbag had finally called me to bring the Lycan king a glass of strawberry. I must go now else she embarrasses me in the presence of the Lycan king. I removed the wristwatch and slid it into my skirt. Alpha Greg and his girlfriend must not see it else they would punish me for being loved.

I walked up to the dinner hall, my heart racing as I approached the Lycan king. I hope the Lycan king played along like we have not seen before.

" That's my mate !" The Lycan king said as I got to the front of the table. Everyone's eyes grew into awe. It was unbelievable. I never expected this just so soon.

" No! Ellen is just a maid who does not deserve a legend like the Lycan king" Alpha Greg cut in just after the Lycan King's speech.

" She is tired of the bully and I am here to take her with me to the Nightwind pack. Go and prepare, Ellen" The Lycan king said authoritatively.

I rushed out of the dinner tables and was aiming to my room when Alpha Greg rushed after me. " I love you, Ellen. Don't go"

" You love me, Alpha? You bully and rejected me right before Cassie. I am so sorry I am done in your pack" I said , tears welling up in my eyes.

" Then I will make sure you will suffer" Alpha Greg dragged my hand and punched me on my face, making me to hit my head on the wall.

He started kicking me furiously and cursing me while I suffered on the floor, grunting in severe pain. Suddenly, a punch landed on Alpha Greg's face. He fell on the floor and the Lycan king came into view.

The Lycan king offered me his hand and I stretched forth mine and collected as he helped me up on my feet.

" Accept me as your mate, Ellen. I will love you and make you the Queen of the Lycans" The Lycan offered.

" Ellen , I love you! I want you to reject him as your second chance mate. I would marry Cassie but I would rent you a special apartment in the foreign pack" Alpha Greg begged as he grunted on the floor.

" I accept the Lycan king as my second chance mate" I accepted the Lycan King as my mate.

The Lycan king held me by my hand and walked me out of the prison I had been for eighteen years.
