Chapter 2 The King

• Regina
• "Is she alright?" I heard someone's worried voice.
• I heard a very familiar voice and opened my eyes, only to see Sam staring at me.
• "Are you okay?" he asks, handing me a glass of water.
• I nodded my hand at his words, taking the water from his hand and emptying the glass before handing it to Sam.
• "What happened to you?" Sam asked.
• I shook my head. "I don’t know... I was coming to your office when something hit me, and then bang, everything went blank, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself here with you."
• "You don’t know I was scared I was seeing someone lying unconscious with a Lycan," Sam signs as he plants a gentle hand on my forehead before ruffling my hair with his hand.
• Lycan. Have I encountered a Lycan in my school? I don’t know, but if Sam is saying it, then it might be right.
• "You sure... you're fine?" Sam asks again. "Can you feel any pain in any part of your body, or do you still feel dizzy? I can call the doctor if you want."
• "Nah, I'm perfectly fine... See." I replied, getting up from the sofa that I was lying on and starting to jump in front of Sam. "Look, perfectly fine.
• Sam smiles at my reaction before wrapping his arms around me. "You don’t even know how worried I was seeing you with a Lycan, that too."
• I stopped Sam from speaking any further, not wanting him to remind us of the tragedy of the past incidents. "Nothing will happen to me when I have a big, bad Alpha brother protecting me."
• Sam smiles before planting a gentle kiss on my forehead. "Let's go home. We are having an uninvited guest come tonight." Sam's eyes darkened as he spoke about this uninvited guest.
• I nodded my head, following him outside his office. I don’t have the energy to inquire more after such a tiring day. All I want is to go home and read my favorite book that Sam took from me in the class, but before that, I have prepared a special birthday present for Peter. One that can be both special and memorable for his 18th birthday.

• "Regina, do you do your homework before going out?" Sam called from where he was sitting on the couch in the living room, scolding me from behind my back as I was trying to sneak my way out of the house.
• "Don’t worry, I’ll finish it after finishing my very important task."
• "And what was that important task of yours?" Sam asks, diverting his focus from his files to mine.
• "It's a secret," I replied. "But trust me, I will be soon."
• "Fine," Sam sighs. "But don’t blame me when I scold you in front of all your classmates for not finishing your homework."
• "Bad Alpha, you can at least give me one holiday; I'm your one and only sister," I said, trying to emotionally blackmail him.
• "Your words don’t work on me, and you are my sister; that's why you have to try your best to be better than anyone in this pack," Sam said. "Come back soon."
• I squealed happily upon hearing his words, hugging him tight. "I know you can never say no to me. I love you. And bye." I run fast before Sam can change his mind.
• And just as I came out of my house, I felt someone's eyes staring at me. Turning back, I see the same brown, almost dark eyes staring at me—the same eyes that were staring at me after me in front of Sam’s office.
• But before I could notice anything else, the owner of the eyes walked inside the Alpha’s private office.
• Strange…. Who cares? I have more important things to do than pay attention to him.
• *****
• Richard
• A world unknown to many, a world everyone wants to know about but is unknown to many, a world where I am the king
• "Well, hello there," I announced myself with a smile on my face.
• The Alpha of this pack, who by now was busy looking at something on his desk, stood up fast, seeing me standing in front of him.
• "Alpha..." he bowed in front of me. "I didn't know you were visiting the pack."
• "No need for formality," I said, making my way to his chair to sit. "I’m not here for anything, but I’m here to take my mate with me."
• "Mate..." Sam's eyes widened just after hearing the news. "Is someone from our pack?"
• I nodded my head with a smile as her beautiful face came to mind. ‘She is, by the way, your sister,’ I wanted to say but was interrupted.
• "Sammm." The door of Sam’s office opens wide as a pleasing fragrance flares my nostrils. ‘Mate, my wolf chanted.
• "Regina, what are you doing here?" Sam turned to look at his sister and then at me.
• "Can I have books back, please?" Regina pleaded in front of her brother.
• I don’t like seeing her pleading in front of anyone; she is the future queen. But then seeing her all playful and childlike makes my heart throb in my chest.
• You don’t even have a mere idea how long it has been since my heart beat so fast in my chest.
• "Regina can talk about it later," Sam mumbled to his sister.
• "Why?" She asked, turning her head towards me and staring at me. "And who is he sitting on your chair with?"
• Sam sighs. "Regina, I will return your books, but now leave."
• "Okay, and I have changed my mind... I'm not going shopping for anyone. I thought of cooking dinner." She continued to make Sam stressed, with his eyes focused on me. Whereas I couldn't help but smile watching her behave like this, I don’t think she has a mere idea who I am.
• "Regina..." Sam sighs again. "Do whatever you like, but just leave now."
• "Fine. Why are you stressing so much?" She said this, giving a quick hug to her brother. "I will make you my favorite dish and also do my homework; just don’t forget to return my books.'' She leaves.
• But again, she comes back, and this time her focus was on me. "Sorry to interrupt your conversation," she said, and she paused a bit, staring at Sam. "And if you’re hungry, you can have dinner with us. Sam cooked the best chicken for us today."
• "Regina..." Sam said.
• "Fine… I’m leaving….," And she finally leaves.
• Sam took some deep breaths, looking at me. "I’m sorry for Regina; she sometimes talks too much."
• No, that’s fine. So you cook the best chicken." My words made Sam nervous.
• "Alpha….,"
• "Let me have a taste and see it myself then," I said, rising from my chair.
• "But about the talk about Luna...?" Sam asks.
• "Some other day...," I replied, smiling at the thought of the future when Sam will know that his precious sister is the Luna of the world-renowned Lycan, who is also known as a Beastly Lycan.
