My sweet, Tyrant Lycan Mate novel Chapter 2

Chapter Two 

A New Life In Flames Lily's POV

 I looked around at the other girls as we stood at the foot of Blackwell Hills.

It was odd that none of them seemed to be fearing for their lives; or if they were, they were good at hiding it.

They stood in a group and wondered what kind of girl the Lycan King would like.

They pondered if he would go for someone who was slim, who had blue eyes or maybe had brown hair.

There's no way that any of them truly believed that the Lycan King had the capacity to love, right? He was a monster—a killer. He had no heart.

I continued to watch as they twirled their curled hair and showed off their expensive dresses.

They all looked like modern princesses and it was like they forgot that it wasn't Prince Charming that lived at the top of those hills. “As if the Lycan King would choose any of their sorry asses”

A girl sneered.

I looked over my shoulder and saw a pretty blonde girl standing next to me. Her hot pink dress hugged her body tightly and stopped at the middle of her thighs. Her striking blue eyes met mine and she cocked her head to the side. “And who might you be?” “My name is Lily”

I gave her a warm smile. “What a sweet name”

She returned the smile, but it didn't feel genuine and was void of any warmth. “I'm Anny. How come I haven't seen you before? Don't you go to Silvercoat High?” “I do but only on certain days.

I take hybrid courses, so some of them are online”

“Wow, you must be really smart!” Anny’s voice was way too enthusiastic and borderline sarcastic. “I bet you're from the Radiant Moonlight pack—literally everyone there is like a genius nerd or something”

I shook my head. “No, my home is with the Blue Moon Pack”

The smile on her face quickly evaporated. “Oh... Cool!” Anny tossed her blonde hair and walked away from me.

Thank the Goddess... “Alright, alright, ladies”

A powerful voice beckoned to us from the hill s gates. “The Lycan King doesn't appreciate tardiness, so I need to make this announcement quick”

A tall, lean, and handsome man stood at the gates. His hair was a striking blonde and against the sun's rays, I saw hints of orange and red. “My name is Alpha Leo of the Night Walker Pack”

“As you all know, you're here to embark on a life-changing journey; one that will put your wits, strength, and will-power to the test”

Why was he speaking as if becoming the Lycan King’s maids was something honorable? Is this his sick way of trying to get us hyped up for something that could get us killed? “Today, you all will be serving your packs by serving the Lycan King”

The reminder silenced the crowd as the air around us became cold. “Unfortunately, there's not much practical advice I can give you other than to be careful.

Trust your instincts. Don't talk back, only speak when spoken to, and don't assume that you're important to him- because you're not”

“The Lycan King is a volatile, easily irritable, and merciless individual”

Alpha Leo continued. "Make sure the Lycan King is satisfied in every area you can imagine—you're all 18 and older; f'm sure you know what I mean in that regard”

I felt my cheeks get hot but I quickly shook my head. “Just kiss his ass, stay out of his way, and hopefully, you'll all make it out alive”
