Offered to the lycan Kings

Chapter 23

As the weeks and months passed, Elena had indeed transformed. Her life in the cave became a daily routine of survival and self-improvement. With determination and resilience, she honed her abilities, mastering her newfound lycan form. Each night, she ventured out into the darkness, becoming a skilled hunter.
The knowledge that she had become a female lycan, an anomaly in her world, intrigued and puzzled Elena. She couldn't help but wonder if there was a connection between her transformation and the enigmatic vision she had experienced during her captivity with the rouges. The dream had shown her a mysterious figure, a being of ethereal beauty, with a message of hope and purpose.
Despite the challenges of her new life, Elena held on to that dream, believing that it held a deeper meaning. She couldn't deny that she was changing in profound ways, and with each passing day, her abilities as a lycan grew stronger. As the months rolled on, the two kings, Dreagan and Alaric, intensified their search for Elena. The bond of the Lycan mate pulled at them relentlessly, pushing them to the brink of their abilities. They were driven by an unwavering determination to find their missing mate, and the knowledge that she was still alive fueled their relentless pursuit.
Their scouts and search parties combed the kingdom and its surroundings tirelessly, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to locate Elena. The kings' ruthless reputation was more pronounced than ever, and they spared no one in their search for answers.
Despite their efforts, each scout returned empty-handed, adding to the frustration and desperation that gnawed at the kings' hearts. They could feel Elena's presence in the depths of their souls, a constant reminder that she was out there, somewhere,
The kingdom witnessed a reign of relentless determination, as the two kings refused to give up on their mate. The search for Elena continued, with no end in sight, as they vowed to reunite with their missing omega, no matter the cost. One of the scouts entered the throne room with news of a scent they had discovered that was strange to them. The peculiar scent found by the scouts piqued the kings' interest, even though they were unaware that it might be connected to Elena. The scent's unusual mix of Lycan and female intrigued them, as it hinted at the existence of a female Lycan, a rarity thought to have disappeared for decades. Recognizing the potential significance of this discovery, the kings decided to send a group of skilled scouts to follow the scent trail while still maintaining their relentless search for Elena. They understood that their mate was out there somewhere, and they remained determined to bring her back, but they couldn't ignore this mysterious scent that had captured their curiosity. Elena cautiously peered out of her cave, her senses on high alert as she tried to pinpoint the source of the male scent. She remained hidden, ready to assess the man's intentions and take appropriate action to protect herself. In the solitude of the forest, with her newfound Lycan abilities, she had become a survivor, and she wasn't about to let anyone catch her off guard Not again Elena was busy within the cave when a male scent hit her. She stopped what she was doing and peeked out to discover what direction or where the man was located. She didn't know what the man's intentions were, but she was determined to be ready for anything.
As the man approached, Elena stepped out from her hiding spot, pretending to be scared and meek. The man noticed her and asked with a stern face, "What are you doing out here, omega slave? Where is the Lycan you are with?" Elena didn't answer, which made the man even more irritated as he stomped towards her, shouting, "You didn't hear me, you little bitch! I will teach you to ignore me."

Elena hid her hands behind her back, transforming her fingers into claws. As he got closer and was about to strike her, Elena struck first. She quickly sliced his throat with her sharp claws.
The man's eyes widened in shock and pain as blood gushed from the wound. He staggered back, clutching at his neck in a futile attempt to stop the bleeding. Elena watched him collapse to the ground, gasping for breath, and then fall silent as life drained from his body. Breathing heavily and trembling with a mix of fear and adrenaline, Elena realized that she had just taken a life again She knew she had to move quickly, leaving behind any evidence of her presence, before others came looking for the man. With her heart pounding and the realization of what she had just done sinking in, Elena hastily gathered her few belongings. She knew she needed to find a new hiding place before anyone came searching for the man she had killed. Carefully, she covered her tracks as she left the scene, hoping to elude any potential pursuers.
Elena's instincts and survival skills had been honed during her time in captivity and her subsequent months in the wilderness. She ventured deeper into the forest, searching for a suitable cave or hidden spot where she could remain hidden. The forest had become her refuge, and she needed to protect it. The scouts, following the peculiar scent they had discovered earlier, arrived at the site where the man's body lay lifeless on the ground. The scene that greeted them was one of horror and confusion. They exchanged worried glances and approached cautiously, their senses heightened as they assessed the gruesome sight before them.
The man's throat had been gruesomely slashed, and there was no sign of who or what might have done it. The scouts couldn't help but feel a sense of dread and unease as they examined the scene. It was evident that something violent had occurred here, and the absence of any clear clues left them bewildered.
The peculiar scent that had led them to this place still lingered in the air, mingling with the metallic tang of blood. They couldn't make sense of it, but one thing was certain: whatever had transpired here was connected to the mysterious scent they had been tracking. It was a puzzle they needed to solve, and their determination to uncover the truth only grew stronger. Unbeknownst to them, this puzzling turn of events was drawing the scouts closer to a truth they couldn't have anticipated.
