Traded To The Lycan King

My hands cling to Merikh as he drops, my injured leg keeping me from catching myself as I tumble down onto him with a pained cry. My knee lands on his chest, my hands pressing onto him to remove my weig "Merikh," I say, awkwardly trying to force myself to stand on the brace that holds my injured leg straight. "Wake up," I whisper, my request growing more panicked by the second. A hand gently grabs my arm an "Hayes!" Percy screams, and he seems to appear out of thin air.

"f**k." Hayes swoops down, grunting as he tries to pull Merikh up. He gets him up enough for him to look at his back and his face pales.

"What?" I ask, unable to find my breath now. "What is it? What happened?"

"Get her to her room," Hayes orders Percy, who turns his attention to me.

"Come with me," he murmurs, and I furrow my brows in frustration as he hurries to usher me away.

"I want to stay with him," I tell them and Hayes chuckles, rolling his eyes.

"You just met him yesterday and your bond isn't even fully initiated yet," he says with a cool tone to his voice. "You have nothing to offer him. What he needs is a healer."

I want to fight back, to argue that I am the Luna now. But I don't feel like a Luna, and I certainly don't look like a Luna. I am weak, injured, and my

chosen mate is out of commission. Without Merikh I am just a weak werewolf

on their turf.

"You need a healer too," Percy reminds me as I frown.

"I was already seen." I complain, but he presses his lips into a flat line.

"You need a bandage change and rest if you ever hope to heal..."

"I know but-" I try to spin to see Merikh.

"I don't mean to be rude, Luna." Percy says in a low voice, as he swoops down and lifts me into his arms. I squeal in shock. "But I understand the status you were, and the state your wolf was in when we met y His words sting, hurting what tiny bit of pride I have left. I look over his shoulder as Percy whisks me away from Merikh. Several warriors rush in and scramble to pick

up his massive b*dy and take him away. I shouldn't care like I do, but I know it isn't love or even the small pull from our weak bond. I care because Merikh saved me. Not just once, or twice, but on multiple occa

He saved me when he chose me. He saved me when Leslie attacked me again. Then he tried to shield my b*dy with his in the crash and then holding me close even though I am certain he finds me repulsive, Merikh, the scary massive mountain of a Lycan and the known alpha of death, protected me. And I can't help but feel a little protective of him in the same way.

"Where are they taking him?" I ask Percy. He gives me a curious look, then a small smirk tickles his lips.

"They are taking him to the infirmary. Then he will wind up back in his room for his resting period."
