Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 24

Ares POV

I stared into Mia’s eyes and I tried to understand how she was thinking by creating all of this chaos. Making Daniel a puppet, blowing up the castle, trying to put Nora in her place, letting rogue lycans into the castle grounds. At first I thought the rogue lycans just let them in by themselves but then I remembered that Mia’s mother had cast a barrier around the castle ground to keep the rogue lycans out and only she or her daughter could break it.

The small problem we faced outside the doors was taken care of rather quickly and the rogue lycans are in the dungeons now. Mia’s grandmother and mother are both here, looking rather angry at their daughter.

“What in the entire world were you thinking, young lady?” Mia’s mother asked, trying her hardest not to yell at her but Mia only rolled her eyes at her.

“Ah, I give up. This time you have done it and now your grandmother will take your powers from you. No don’t you dare to protest, you could have hurt the future queen! You will get your powers back when you have proven worthy of them” Mia’s mother said and even I stared at her with wide eyes.

All young witches have a pendant in the form of a necklace that channels their power to and from nature and only a blood parent can take it away from them and give it back.

Mia’s grandmother stepped forward and said something in their language before taking the pendant off of Mia. It is a beautiful

pendant, the form of a leaf with a green crystal in the middle.

Mia looked at me with tears in her eyes.

“I just wanted to be by your side, don’t you get it Ares? Sura it may be that I don’t love you but both you and I know that we belong together and you promised me. Remember?” Mia said and both her mother and grandmother looked at me but I just shrugged at them.

“Yeah I know Mia, but you agreed on one condition, that if I ever found my mate, you would let go without a fuss and what you have done now is more than just a fuss” I replied.

Mia glared at me but before she could retort, my father and uncle came

over to us.

“Maria, it was not yesterday that I saw you out and about” My father said and I just stared at him as he smiled sweetly at the old lady.

“Yes, yes I know. Perhaps I should tell you that I borrowed your other son earlier, for a little chat about your future daughter in law. Don’t throw her away just because of her heritage now” she laughed at him and winked.

“You mean Nora? No, at first I wanted to kill her but I really believe that she can break the curse now so you have my word that I won’t hurt her. But your granddaughter on the other hand…” my father answered and glared at Mia.

“Yes, I will personally take care of my stupid granddaughter. Me and her mother will take her to the coven for the time being because I believe you will have your hands full in the coming weeks.” she smiled sadly.

“What do you mean by that?” I ask confused.

“Well my young prince. Your dear princess’s existence is no longer a secret, now everyone knows about her. The last female lycan” Mia’s mother says and gives me a crooked smile.

My surprise could have been easily read on my face and just the thought that other male lycans now know of her and wanted to take her made my blood boil. Just as I was about to suggest a cloaking spell or something the doors opened and my two missing warriors came in. Andrei and Gray, followed by Helios with Nora in his arms and Linus behind them.

Hmm I could have sworn that Ben was with them. How strange that he isn’t anymore.

“Oh all of you are here already? Ben is out there and talking to Daniel that looks like he is still a bloody zombie.” Helios said and looked at ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Oh her room is cleaned so you can put her in there if you want” I tell him and he nods before walking towards her room.

“And Daniel?” I ask Mia’s grandmother.

“Oh right, the guardian” she mumbles.

She closes her eyes and snaps her fingers and sends off a little blue orb through the wall.

Just a few seconds later we could hear Daniel scream out in frustration. The door opened once again and my uncle went there to help Ben. Daniel was furious but also exhausted, Ben and uncle Dave helped him inside the castle.

“Oh my, you are a strong guardian, to try to withstand a witch’s magic for so long. I shall give you a gift, guardian” Mias grandmother said.

She walked over to Daniel and touched his hand, I tilted my head

when his hand glowed blue for a second. When she smiled and walked back to her granddaughter I noticed a crescent moon on Daniel’s hand, almost like a tattoo.

“So we shall go now then?” Mia’s grandmother said and all three of them disappeared in a red mist.

“So what shall we do now?” I asked my father.

“Rest. Rest a couple of hours before we take charge of this mess that your idiotic girlfriend created. And we need to know what the hell happened in the forest as to why Nora’s feet were still bleeding. Can’t she heal herself?” my father wondered.

What, was Nora hurt? I was so occupied with Mia that I didn’t realize it. I could feel Helios’ wound on his back as it was my own but why couldn’t I feel Nora’s? Something isn’t right here, something I must

look into.

“I will go to the library and rest there, Tristan will you join me?” I said, making everyone raise an eyebrow at me.

Tristan nodded and we walked up to the library and we met Helios in the stairs that was apparently waiting for us.

“I take it you couldn’t feel her pain in the foot either?” Helios say and I nod. Helios sighed and walked ahead of us to the library. Perhaps a book or two could give us our answers. Hopefully.
