Mated to the Lycan King. Chapter 1 Traumatized

Ava's POV

It was pouring. Heavily.

My peach-colored dress was soaked, and my phone kept vibrating in my pocket.

I stood there, watching from a distance as the blood of my parents mixed with the rainwater that filled the streets. My eyes drifted to the car, still open. I could see my mom's hand, limp, hanging from the side. I started walking toward it, my legs feeling like lead. I didn't dare get too close. My voice came out as a whisper, shaky, barely audible, "Mom, mommy... are you... are you okay?"

My dad's lifeless body lay flat on the floor, his eyes wide in shock as blood from his severed head pooled beneath him. My heart raced, terror creeping through me, but I couldn't shift into my wolf form. I just kept mumbling, "Daddy, Dad... please wake up! Mom! Don't leave me! Somebody, anybody, help!"

But my heart remained calm. Too calm. My body felt numb, detached from everything. I blinked twice, hoping-praying-that I was hallucinating. Maybe this was just some twisted illusion. The popcorn in my hand had long since gone soggy, the paper probably melting into the wet mess. Without thinking, I shoved a handful of the soggy popcorn into my mouth.

Bitter.

The exact taste of what my future now held.

"Mom... Dad, why aren't you coming over?" My voice cracked, a sharp pain stabbing my heart for a few moments.

I wondered, deep down, if I felt numb because I didn't love them enough or because the pain was too much for me to handle after witnessing everything. I had watched as a wolf ripped into my father's neck and tore his head clean off. Then it sniffed the car, like it was searching for something.

It was supposed to be a normal Saturday movie night. I remembered just an hour earlier, smiling in the mirror, dressed in my short off-shoulder black gown. Mom had been laughing, helping me tie my blonde hair into a ponytail.

"Mommy," I'd called.

"Yes, honey?" she answered.

"Do you think I'll find a mate, like you and Dad?"

She laughed, planting a kiss on my forehead. "Of course, sweetie. You're mommy and daddy's little princess, and you're a beautiful gem. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

"Thanks, mommy." I blushed.

"You're welcome, honey. Now, let's go before Dad gets upset."

We never missed our Saturday movie tradition... except for tonight. And now, I hated that tradition.

I couldn't even remember how I got to the hospital. I must have stood there long enough for my body to go numb under the rain. The last thing I recalled was Aunt Janet's voice, pleading with the doctor: "Doc, please save her, she's all I've got!" And then the red lights of the ambulance... before I blacked out.

When I woke up, three hours had passed. I found Aunt Janet huddled in the corner of the hospital room, silently crying. Her body curled into a ball, her hand patting her chest as if trying to calm herself.

Suddenly, everything came rushing back to me, like a movie replaying in my head. Every single detail.

"Ahhhh!" I screamed, jumping out of the bed and yanking the drip from my arm.

Aunt Janet rushed to my side, trying to hug me, trying to comfort me. But I pushed her away, screaming louder. They were gone. Dead. And I would never see them again.

"Bring them back! Bring them back to me!" I screamed until my throat felt raw.

The doctors and nurses flooded into the room, trying to calm me, but I hurled everything I could get my hands on at them.

"Don't touch me! Bring them back! I want my momma back!" My wolf was on the verge of breaking free. If I'd had a smooth first shift, I might've let her go. Let her tear apart anyone like they'd done to my father. Let them feel the same pain that now coursed through my veins.

"Bring them..." I felt something sharp prick my arm. My vision blurred, and I couldn't make out the doctor's face before my consciousness slipped away. I vaguely heard the doctor's slurred words to my aunt.

"She's too shocked to process what happened. She'll need help."

Two months later.

Grieving isn't something that can be fixed with a magic wand.

If it were, I'd have chosen that option in a heartbeat.

As I crossed the street to our house, I wiped my nose and pulled my coat tighter around me. The past two months had been filled with therapy sessions, helping me come to terms with the loss. It wasn't easy, but it was helping, at least a little.

"Aunt?" I called out as I stepped inside the house. The smell of something delicious wafted from the kitchen. I followed it, finding Aunt Janet fussing with the oven. "What magical concoction are you making?"

"Just cake. I found this amazing recipe online." She finally turned toward me, concern in her eyes. "How was therapy?"

I forced a smile, nodding. "It's working. You were right; therapy helps."

"Good. That's progress." She smiled softly. "Go change and come help me."

"I'll be back in a minute."

Aunt Janet had been incredible since I lost my parents. She stayed with me at the hospital, helped me through the darkest nights, and introduced me to therapy. I was grateful, but nothing seemed to truly help.

Well, it helped me build a facade. One I wore for her and for my therapist.

As I headed to my room, I passed my dad's study. I couldn't resist stepping inside. Aunt Janet had kept everything spotless, as if Dad would return any moment. I ran my fingers over the papers on his desk.

My dad had been a journalist, and my mom had stayed home because of her health. My eyes landed on his journal, the one he always kept close. Smiling, I picked it up and flipped through it. Some notes were too cryptic, but others I understood.

Then, I stopped on a page.

The word Lyconia was circled, surrounded by missing persons reports and mentions of 'unnatural deaths.' Dad's conclusion was clear: there were more werewolves in the city than anyone knew.

I remembered the stories my parents used to tell me about Lyconia, their hometown. Dad was an Alpha before they moved to Alabama. That place had always intrigued me.

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. If Lyconia was my father's origin, then maybe I should visit. Maybe that would help me heal. And maybe, just maybe, I could find answers about their deaths.

I closed the journal, tucking it into my bag. Aunt Janet would never let me go, so I kept it to myself. After dinner, I pretended to go to bed, then snuck out with a few essentials.

Five hours later, I arrived in Lyconia. My heart pounded. This was my father's home. The town where he had been an Alpha. The place where I might find answers.

I checked Dad's journal again. Clawcrest. That's where we belonged. With a bit of help, I made my way to Clawcrest Ville.

As I approached the sign, I saw a man standing nearby. I walked up to him, trying to mask my nervousness with a smile.

"Good morning."

The man gave me a once-over, his gaze sharp. "And you are?"

"Ava. Ava Goldington. My father used to be Alpha here."

His expression darkened. He called out loudly, "Yo, Matthew! We've got another one."

A bulky man appeared from a nearby house. "Who is she?"

"Goldington something. Says her father was Alpha here."

Matthew stepped closer, sniffing the air around me. "Definitely one of us, though her scent is weak."

I took a step back, deciding not to mention that I wasn't in control of my wolf yet. "Can I meet the Alpha?"

Matthew nodded. "Sure."

The first man looked surprised. "Just like that?"

"There's no harm in her meeting the Alpha, right?" Matthew gestured for me to get in his car.

Even though he was being polite, something felt off. Had I just walked into a trap?

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

For three years, I was the perfect, invisible wife to Bart Brown. On our third anniversary, I stood in the kitchen for four hours, preparing his favorite meal with imported truffles, only to receive a cold text command. "Crysta fainted again. Get to the hospital. Now." My rare Rh-negative blood was the only thing the Brown family valued. Bart didn't want a wife; he wanted a walking blood bank for his "sick" best friend, Crysta. While I was fainting from chronic anemia, Crysta was smirking in her hospital bed, clutching Bart's hand and mocking my "peasant" lifestyle. Even his mother treated me like a servant, demanding I vacuum the floors after I'd already offered my veins for the hundredth time. When I finally reached my breaking point and signed the divorce papers, they didn't let me go quietly. They filed a false police report, accusing me of stealing a multi-million dollar diamond necklace just to watch me crawl. I didn't understand how a family could be so heartless. I had cooked their meals, cleaned their house, and literally bled for them, yet they were determined to ruin my life the moment I stopped being useful. Did they really think I was a nobody with nowhere to go? Standing outside the hospital with a bruised wrist and nothing to my name, I didn't cry. I simply took off my cheap wedding ring and dialed a secure line I hadn't touched since the day I married him. "It's me, Dad," I whispered as a fleet of black Maybachs rounded the corner. "The extraction is a go. I'm coming home."

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
