The Lycan's Queen

Chapter 22

The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 22

“I swear to God, if you guys are naked, I am going to gorge my eyes out,” a familiar voice shouted,

waking me up from a peaceful sleep.

“Wait till he starts getting close to his mate, then I’ll disturb him so he can see how fucking annoying it

is,” Adonis mumbled under his breath.

My sleepy brain finally caught on, and I sighed, “Honestly, he disturbed my peaceful sleep.”

“Guys?” Evan shouted.

“Evan, if this isn’t a matter of life or death, then you are in deep shit,” Adonis growled.

Hang on a second, Evan can’t come in here. One, because I am naked, and two, because the room

was a mess. There were my clothes everywhere, along with my undergarments. The sheets were a

mess too.

“Right, I’m coming in,” Evan said.

Adonis just rolled his eyes, not even realizing what the fuck was the matter.

“No!” I shouted. Adonis looked at me like I had gone mad.

“Give me two minutes, Evan,” I said.

“Fine, I am counting.” Evan sighed.

Scrambling out of bed, I picked up my clothes and ran into the bathroom.

I splashed my face with cold water so I looked more awake and changed my clothes so I looked

presentable. I ran a brush through my hair and walked out.

Adonis sat there smirking while I hit him on the shoulder. “I cannot believe you were about to let Evan

in while I was naked and my stuff was all over the floor.”

“Well, I got a good view when you got out of the bed.” Adonis laughed.

“Men and their one-track mind,” I mumbled.

“If Evan saw me naked, then what?” I questioned.

Adonis didn’t look very happy with my question and kept quiet.

“Exactly, your reaction tells me what I need to know. Next time be more mindful. I don’t want my

cousin’s mate dying because he saw me naked.”

I sat down on top of the duvet covers.

Evan entered slowly, his hands over his eyes, which made me laugh.

“Evan, you can move your hand away.”

Slowly, he moved his hand and sighed when he saw we were both clothed. Adonis didn’t have a shirt

on, but I don’t think Evan was worried about seeing him shirtless.

“Well, thank God you both are clothed. Mostly.” Evan sighed.

“What happened?” I asked.

Evan’s face turned serious, causing both Adonis and I to sit up straight. Did they catch whoever did

this?

“The little girl. We found out who she is, and her parents are coming over. Gabe thinks it should be you

who tells them, Dimitri.” Evan smiled sadly.

“Of course. Any news on who did this?” Adonis asked.

“As of right now, we don’t have much to go on. Hopefully the parents can tell us some valuable

information. The issue we are having is that this palace has so many people, guards, chefs, servants.

We need more information before we start searching.” Evan looked frustrated.

“Hey, you did a good thing finding the parents. I’m sure we will be able to get some information to help,”

I reassured Evan.

Evan looked at me with a determined look in his eyes. “I want to bring that little girl justice.”

“And we will.” Adonis got up and patted Evan on the back.

“Let’s go meet the parents,” Adonis told Evan.

As they both turned to leave, I coughed really loudly.

“What about me? Don’t you dare say I have to stay here.” I crossed my

arms.

“Yes, you do. I don’t know if the parents will react badly, and they might try to hurt you,” Adonis replied.

I scoffed, “Yeah, okay. I am not staying here; I am coming with you.”

“How about you go spend time with Niya?” Evan asked.

I glared at him. Why weren’t they allowing me to come with them? My mouth opened to retort back, but

I saw Adonis’s face, the worry in his

eyes, and I stopped.

Was he really that worried that I would get hurt? Damn it, if I go, then he’s going to spend all his time

worrying about me and not getting the important information.

Sighing, I turned to Evan. “Fine. Where is she?”

The relief on Adonis’s face made me feel bad. I guess it wasn’t a bad thing for me to spend time with

Niya. This way Adonis could spend time with the parents.

Evan told me where Niya’s room is, and we went our separate ways. Of course, before I left. Adonis Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

told me that he was thankful I actually listened to him.

I rolled my eyes and replied, “Only this once.”

“Good. I don’t like an obedient mate because it means no punishments,” he whispered in my ears.

“Guess I’ll become an obedient mate then,” I teased.

Adonis smirked. “You’re too fiery for that, little one.”

Before I could reply, he left with Evan. The things he made me feel was unlike anything I had ever felt

before, and I was slowly becoming addicted.

I made my way to Niya’s room and knocked on the door. She opened it and had a massive grin on her

face when she saw me. Without wasting any time, she dragged me into her room and sat me

down.”So…?” She looked at me

“So? What so?” I asked.

Niya rolled her eyes. “So, how was it then?”

“What are you talking about?” I was so confused.

AS SO

“Urgh, what is wrong with you? How was the sex?” she asked.

My eyes widened in shock, causing Niya to laugh.

“That good?” she teased.

“No… I mean, I don’t know. We didn’t have sex,” I replied.

“What? When Adonis carried you away, he looked like he wanted to devour you!” Niya looked shocked.

Holy shit, she saw that too?

“No, we didn’t have sex, Niya. There are other ways to cause pleasure without having sex you

know….,” I trailed off, seeing the glee return in Niya’s eyes.

“Oh! So you did other things then! I want all the details.” She got comfy.

“I don’t think so, missy. My sex life stays private.” I laughed.

“You’re no fun.” She pouted.

“Aww so sorry.” I couldn’t stop laughing. Niya looked like I told her I wouldn’t let her pet my dog, not

that I wouldn’t tell her about my sex life.

“I have to live through you. You need to tell me,” Niya begged.

“Live through me? You have your own mate, and soon I don’t think I will even see you,” I teased.

Niya rolled her eyes and flopped on her bed. “Whatever.”

“Oh man, you missed the best part. Savanah and her uncle leaving.” Niya laughed.

“What happened?” I was excited.

“She kicked up a fuss, and then her stupid uncle was yelling about how Dimitri would have to pay. Then

Evan picked up Savanah’s uncle and chucked him out, and Lexi pushed out Savanah. She was crying

so much.” Niya laughed.

I smiled, although hearing what Mark said made me a little nervous. This guy managed to convince the

council that Adonis should mate his niece. Imagine what else he could do.

“It’s hard not to,” I admitted.

“Come on, the last thing Adonis needs is more stress. If anything, you should be helping him de-

stress.” She winked.

“Back to that are we?” I raised my eyebrows.

Niya laughed. “I can’t believe we are here; we have mates.”

“Feels weird, right?” I smiled.

“Weird, but also it feels right,” she replied.

There was a knock at the door, causing Niya to sit up. I stood up to answer the door, but was shocked

when there was no one actually there.

Was someone playing a joke on us? I looked around, but there was really no one there.

Fuck, was I imagining things? No, Niya heard it too.

I turned around to ask Niya, but gasped when I saw Niya being held by some guy.

“How the fuck did you get in?” I asked, shocked.

“It’s called a distraction, sweetheart. You looked, and I jumped in through the window.” He pressed the

knife closer to Niya’s throat.

“Hey, stop that. Let her go.” I was nervous. This guy could kill Niya if I wasn’t careful

“Now, now. How can I let the queen go?” He looked at me.

Oh no, this guy thought Niya was the queen. Niya looked at me, her eyes pleading with me not to tell

this guy the truth. But how could I let him touch Niya when she wasn’t the one he wanted?

“What do you want then?” I tried a different tactic.

“I’m sure the king will be very angry to hear his mate has been captured. I want you to go and tell him

that until he gives me what I want. His mate stays here.” The guy dragged Niya further back.

“What is it that you want?” My heart was racing.

“Bitch, go and get the king,” the man spat at me.

Now, instead of nerves, anger started to build up. Who the fuck did this

idiot think he was?

He pressed the knife harder against Niya’s throat, causing her to whimper in pain. The trail of blood

that left Niya’s throat caused an uncontrollable anger to take over me.

My control over my wolf was amazing. However, today that failed. I

didn’t have the strength to control my lycan as anger coursed through my veins.

“You’ll pay for hurting my cousin,” my voice that no longer sounded like my voice said.

It’s deeper, and the man looked nervous. My nails were now long and sharp, and I found myself

wanting to use them on the idiot standing in front of me

“Your eyes” Niya said, in awe.

As I turned around, my brown eyes were now pitch-black. I was taller, my senses heightened. A smirk

made its way onto my face.

Turning back round to see the fear dancing in this guy’s eyes made my lycan happy. I ran my tongue

over my sharpened teeth. I wanted this guy’s blood.

Niya looked at me in awe while I stalked toward the guy. My eyes focused on the knife, and within a

split second, I tore the knife away and pushed Niya to safety

“You hurt my cousin,” I said, shaking my head.

“Big mistake.” I smirked, grabbing the guy’s arm and ripping it off his body. His screams of agony made

me and my lycan feel satisfied. Blood was everywhere, and I heard Niya gasp in shock.

AV

My lycan wanted this guy to die a painful death, but the human part of me wanted him alive for

questioning. Luckily my lycan agreed with me because I had a feeling that she would have killed him.

My eyes fixed on a duvet cover, which I picked up and then I grabbed the guy and tied his good arm up

and threw him out the window. I tied the other end to a chair.

His screams got louder as he begged for his life, but it didn’t faze me. If he had no problem holding

Niya at knifepoint, then he should have no nroblem dealing with the nunishment

Something told me that even a small part of me wanted to save him. My lycan wouldn’t let me.

TL

Even after I tied him up, my lycan was still restless, anger still pulsing through my body.

I felt myself slowly losing control and decided I should leave before I hurt Niya. Not wanting to waste

any time, I jumped out of the window and ran.

I ran faster than I ever have before, the trees flying past my vision in a blur. Running this fast didn’t tire

me out, it felt freeing.

My lycan form amazed me, and I wondered why I hadn’t shifted before?

When I finally stopped, my ears picked up on the loud growl of my mate. Excitement now coursed

through my veins.

This time it would be a fair chase, but I still couldn’t wait for him to catch me. Game on….
