Chapter 22 - Why are females so much different?
Helena
I looked at Oliver and wondered, but something told me that although he trusted his people, he wasn’t going to share our vulnerability with them. Something was holding him back from doing that. I wasn’t sure if it was because he probably felt he always had to be a strong leader or if he just didn’t share. Maybe he only shared with his family.
It was actually ridiculous. Why weren’t leaders ever allowed to be weak? If they were, they might not be the bastards some of them were. I thought of Liam and the way he grew up. If his parents weren’t such horrible people. If he had grown up in a place where love was freely given, things might have been different for us. For him.
“Are you okay?” Oliver frowned beside me and I sighed deeply, nodding.
“I was just thinking of Liam, and how different his life could have been.” I shrugged. It was still a

HelenaIt took time, but everything was arranged within a couple of days. I was feeling so excited and went looking for Oliver. He was in town with his father taking care of the yule lights that they were planning on putting up all over town. I had seen pictures of the lights in an album Athena showed me and I couldn’t wait to see them in all their glory. We didn’t have lights at the pack house, so this was something completely new to me. As I walked closer to a group of men, I realized I hadn’t found what I was looking for. The scene playing out in front of me wasn’t what I hoped for.“Say that again! I dare you!” Oliver was gripping a Lycan around his throat. The male looked furious as he glared at Oliver.“She is not one of us!” He growled at Oliver, and I was stunned that one of them stood up to Oliver like that. It took me a moment to realize that the she the male was referring to was me! We had been trying our best to involve as many of the staff at home with the arrangements. I

Helena“No lights? None at all?” Oliver looked sad and I shrugged.“Nope.” I walked on and they followed me.“Okay, wait. Did you celebrate yule?” Oliver frowned, and I wasn’t sure if I should tell them the rest. They might think even worse about the pack than they already did! On the other hand, I haven’t lied to Oliver once since I met him, so why start now? Liam was dead, so who knows? Things might change for the pack now.“Well, every yule, I worked in the kitchens to help prepare the meal for the ranked wolves.” A soft growl escaped from Oliver and I rolled my eyes. “To the Omegas, it was just another day on the calendar, really. We got up, took care of our chores and went to bed. The only difference was that there was more work to do. More to cook and far more to clean up afterward. We served the ranked wolves a special meal to thank them for taking care of us and protecting us all year. After the meal, the ranked wolves were given gifts by the alpha and luna to thank them for t
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 25 - A hopeful future.
HelenaI didn’t feel right when I woke up. I felt weak and a little light-headed. I didn’t mention anything to Oliver, since I didn’t want to worry him unnecessarily. When I joined Oliver and his parents for breakfast, things felt different. Something in the air was different. It was almost … Lighter. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. I silently had breakfast while Oliver and his parents talked about the yule festival. It sounded so exciting.I just felt as though I shouldn’t get my hopes up too high. Our pack didn’t have lights. This pack did. Our pack didn’t give gifts to omegas and I had a shopping day planned with Athena to buy gifts for everybody. She made sure to tell me it included the omegas. It made me feel so much better to know. But still I didn’t want to get my hopes up.I couldn’t help but feel as if I caused most of the issues in Oliver’s pack at the moment. I felt guilty. I felt as if I didn’t deserve the kindness he and his parents were showing me. The servants were
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 26 - Helena is kidnapped!
OliverMy parents invited some of their old friends to join us in the hopes that if they gave us their support it would convince the last pack members to just accept the changes. Our guests arrive and by late evening the entire city is alive with celebration. Helena looks excited, and I feel so great to see her having fun. My people were just relaxing when the alarms sounded.I couldn’t believe the reports coming through our pack link! The werewolves, I thought, had returned home and were living their lives in peace … They were now rising up against me! All around us people were shifting. Some of the children screamed as their parents rushed them home. I noted the first wolf enter our city and I howled before shifting!“MOM! Take Helena with you! I don’t want one of us thinking she is the enemy!” I shouted through the pack link. Something told me that if I told Helena to go home, she wouldn’t listen. She seemed to get along well with my mother! I didn’t wait to see if Helena and my mo

Oliver“Why are you asking, son?” My father frowned. I sighed. It would be no use to try and explain. I knew deep down that I had killed the guy. I was sure of it. There was no way he could have been behind the attack. My warriors were out looking for any leads. They were trying to find traces of tracks where I last smelled her scent, but so far there wasn’t much news.“They must have come after your mate because of you, Oliver.” King Alaric sighed deeply. “I don’t want to dredge up the past in front of my mate, but that was how we lost our daughter. Someone had a grudge, and we never found her again. We don’t even know if she’s alive or dead.” I knew the story well. Everyone did.King Alaric and Queen Jacqui’s daughter were taken right out from under their noses. The kidnappers took her right from her crib at night. By the time the night nurse realized, the scent was growing cold, and they couldn’t find her again.Queen Jacqui was a werewolf like my Helena. The king and queen were my
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 28 - Ripped apart.
OliverWe looked everywhere! I tore that bastard’s packhouse apart, but there was no sign of him or Helena anywhere. People were saying that my grief made me believe he was still alive. I killed him. He wasn’t there anymore, so he couldn’t possibly be behind this. The werewolves had declared war on us and I had to strengthen our borders. I have to think about my people right now.“Son, they took her for a reason. She is more valuable to them alive than dead.” My father patted my shoulder and I sighed deeply, nodding. The werewolves were coming for my people and protecting them had to be my priority. We were fighting werewolves on all sides of our borders, and I was beginning to wonder where the hell all of them came from.We were stronger and faster, but they outnumbered us four to one. That didn’t stop my people from fighting. It was either that or die. The war had come right to our doorstep, and it was what I originally tried to avoid. I should have killed all of them. When Helena b
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 29 - So close yet so far!
HelenaMy life as a slave and a single mother was hard most days, but the days that were good, it was so good I almost forgot about my circumstances. Almost. I feared the day my son would be old enough to work. I knew that most slave owners either put them to work or sold them and I wouldn’t be able to live with myself knowing that I was the reason my son was suffering.I tried to make his little life as bearable as possible. I quickly figured out that escape would not be possible in this city. Slaves who tried to escape suffered the worst consequences and I couldn’t do that to my little boy. All I could do was to keep my head down and work and pray that Oliver finds us some day. As the years ticked by, my hope grew less and less, and I made peace with our lives as they were.I have been bought and sold a couple of times over the years. Some of the masters were cruel, and I carried the scars of their cruelty. They never healed completely because I wasn’t allowed to shift. As soon as o
The Lycan King's Exiled Mate Chapter 30 - Two for the price of one!
OliverAccording to my host, there were no mated females being held as slaves. He knew very well that it was against the law, but I wouldn’t put it past him! I knew from experience that these people didn’t care where someone came from or that they had family! My fury was overwhelming, and I didn’t see where I was going. I stormed into my room and in the process, my shirt caught on something.I cringed at the sound of the material tearing. If it was any other shirt, I would just have thrown it away, but it was the only shirt Helena bought me. I was surprised when she returned from her shopping trip with my mother, and she had a gift for me. She was supposed to buy clothes for herself, and it was awfully endearing that she thought about getting me something as well.I took the shirt off and the tear wasn’t that big. It could be mended. Without thinking about it, I called the servant outside my door and requested that they find me a good seamstress. She offered to take it to the seamstre
