An answer to comments on the last chapter.
I am fairly used to writing vampire stories and the lycan topic is sort of new. Lucien is supposed to be sadistic and kind of like a rogue. He's like a werewolf rapist. I did have a prologue written to this story but when I edited it it just didn't fit. It will develop as the story goes. I appreciate the comments.

Tikaani paused in his wolf form near a clearing at the edge of his territory. He had seen a human female camping here regularly and her tents were set up as usual. Something seemed off today, however.
He sniffed around cautiously and stiffened as he caught the faint scent of the female, tainted with fear. Whimpers echoed out of the second tent in the clearing and he approached it slowly. He nudged open the flap and peered inside. The female's sled dogs lay in the middle of the tent, huddled up in an anxious pile.
The biggest male approached him and barked anxiously. "Wolf man come. Take our mistress."
Tikaani dipped his head in acknowledgement. "I come to help," he told the lead dog silently. "My beta will come and take you to a safer place."
The male looked back at the others anxiously and looked back at him. "Save mistress," he whimpered.
Tikaani nodded again and exited the tent. He called out mentally to his Beta, John, and conveyed his request while he searched the clearing for clues. He paused by the remains of the campfire and dug down past the fresh snow. He found a scrap of denim and a few tufts of blonde and silver fur. He followed the smell through the woods until he saw a log cabin with curtains pulled across the windows. It reeked of the unfamiliar wolf, definitely a male. He heard the sound of a shower running and underneath that, what sounded like a quiet female sob. This was definitely the right place.
Using his telekinesis, he unlocked the door and silently approached the bedroom. He approached the bed and spoke to the female silently. "Don't be scared. I'm here to save you." He shifted to hybrid form and sliced through the collar around her neck. He took a quick stock of her injuries as he removed the cuffs around her wrists and ankles. She was defiled, but unharmed other than the obvious bite wound on her neck.
