Vanished Sisters The Lycan King's Slave Island novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Natasha’s POV

Lucy sat down on the edge of my cot, her expression serious.

“There’s something called a Fated Mate,” she said. “It’s rare. Very rare. But sometimes a Lycan male will find a specific female that he’s destined to bond with. The connection is instant. Powerful. Unbreakable.”

My heart was pounding. “I don’t understand.”

“The male can sense his fated mate,” Lucy continued. “Can feel her emotions. Communicate with her mentally when the bond is strong

enough. And during her heat cycles, the pull between them is almost irresistible.”

She looked at me intently.

“I think you might be the Lycan King’s fated mate.”

The room was silent.

“That’s impossible,” Davelina said flatly. “He’s a monster. A beast. He can’t-”

“It’s not impossible,” Lucy interrupted. “It’s rare for a Lycan to have a fated mate. Most never find them. But when they do-especially with

an Endurer-the bond is incredibly strong.”

She looked back at me.

“Can you feel him?” she asked. “Even now? Can you sense him somehow?”

I closed my eyes and concentrated.

And yes. There it was. A presence at the edge of my consciousness. Dark and powerful and undeniably there.

The King. I could feel him. Even from this distance.

“Oh God,” I whispered. “Yes. I can feel him. What does this mean?”

“It means you’re bound to him,” Lucy said softly. “Connected. He’ll be able to find you anywhere. Feel your emotions. Know when you’re in

heat. And you-you’ll be drawn to him. Especially during your heat cycles.”

“No,” I said. “No, that can’t be right. I can’t be-I won’t be-”

But even as I protested, I kind of knew it was true. Knew it in my bones.

The next few days passed in a blur of exhaustion and pain. My body ached everywhere-but thankfully, the injuries from this encounter with the King were far less severe than last time.
