The Lycan's Queen

Chapter 40

The Lycan’s Queen Book 2 – Chapter 2

PRESENT DAY

DAMIEN

It had been four months since the day I arrived.

Four fucking months.

I could have gone straight back to London as soon as everything was solved, but I just couldn’t. Every

time I went to book a flight, something stopped me.

It was only yesterday I rang my boss and told him that I would send him an email with my resignation

letter. He was shocked but understood.

Of course, he was under the impression that my father was dying, but that didn’t matter.

Riley left as soon as the drama was over. Adonis was sad to see our younger sister leave, but he knew

she didn’t want to stay.

Aarya, my new sister.

Half the time, I wondered why she had called me. She was incredibly strong and brave and could have

handled all this on her own. She more or less did that anyway.

Groaning, I got up and made my way to Adonis’s study.

“Your Majesty, do you need anything?” a maid asked.

I still hated my stupid title but there was nothing I could do about it.(This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com) I just shook my head and rushed to my brother’s study.

“You need to have a kid,” I blurted out as soon as I walked in.

Adonis looked up and chuckled. “Uh-huh. I know why I am desperate to have a child, but you? Do you

want to be an uncle that badly? Riley has a kid, you know.”

“Don’t play dumb. You know I can never renounce my royal title until you have a kid.” I sighed.

“Ah yes, you’re still second in line.” Adonis signed a document and placed it to the side.

“Wait, you said you want a kid? Why don’t you have one?” I asked.

“In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t have the human biology to carry a child,” Adonis deadpanned.

“I know that.” I rolled my eyes.

“Aarya isn’t ready for a child. She’s enjoying her life and I won’t tie her down,” Adonis replied.

“You’ve turned into a softy,” I laughed.

“Wait till you find your mate, Damien,” Adonis pointed out.

“Yeah, wonder when that will be… ” I trailed off.

“Don’t give up. Look at me! Aarya came into my life when I needed her the most. I know your mate will

too.” Adonis smiled.

I wanted to believe my brother, but I was having a hard time doing so.

“Hey, we have a pack coming here tomorrow. They are having some territory issues. I want you to be

with me,” Adonis said.

I nodded. I knew my brother was doing this to keep my mind off leaving, and I decided to humor him.

After all, I couldn’t imagine how he had felt when all his family just up and left when he became king. I

guess I felt like I owed him.

“They’ll be arriving early in the morning. Be up and ready by nine,” Adonis told me.

Fuck’s sake.

Why can’t these alphas come at a decent time?

I just nodded and headed to my room.

I’m going to need sleep if I have to deal with big-headed alphas tomorrow…

***

As soon as my alarm went off, I groaned and hit snooze.

Dealing with big-headed alphas was not how I wanted to spend my day, but I had no choice.

Rolling out of bed, I got ready for the day.

There was no need to spend too much time choosing an outfit, not like I did anyway. I quickly put on a

pair of dark jeans and a plain white T-shirt.

After fixing my hair, I left my room.

Adonis and Aarya were walking downstairs from their floor when they spotted me. Of course, Adonis

looked every inch the king he was and Aarya…

The simplicity of her outfit did nothing to diminish that powerful aura surrounding her.

“Morning, sunshine.” Aarya smiled.

“Hmm… Too cheerful for me,” I replied.

Adonis laughed, “Come on brother. It should be fun, putting these big-headed alphas in their place.”

“Sure, if that’s how you want to spend your morning.(This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com) I’d much rather be in bed.” I rolled my eyes.

We made our way downstairs, Aarya in the middle with Adonis and I on either side of her.

Even though Aarya was more than capable of defending herself, I still felt an overwhelming need to

protect her. So did my lycan.

“Your Majesty, they’re here,” a maid informed us.

Adonis nodded. “You know where to bring them.”

“Make sure they go through the security checks,” Aarya reminded the maid

The maid nodded and walked off. We made our way to a separate room where Adonis liked to conduct

meetings

He was the opposite of Dad in that respect. Dad only had meetings in his study, whereas Adonis liked a

room with a lot more space.

I remember him telling me that he wanted the alphas to feel like they could say anything, and the study

was always so suffocating. I had to agree.

We all took our seats. Adonis and Aarya were sitting on their own sofa, while I sat on the armchair next

to Adonis.

Oh, how badly I wanted this meeting to be over and it hadn’t even started.

A servant came in. “Your Majesties, Alpha Gibson and Beta Porter.”

We all stood as the alpha and beta walked in. Both bowed in respect before taking a seat opposite us.

“So, you need to discuss some territory issues. Am I correct?” Adonis asked, wasting no time in starting

He was always so busy, but at least he had Aarya to keep him company.

“Yes, Your Majesty, we have an issue with a pack continuously entering what we believe is our territory.

They are causing lots of disturbance and threatening to kill us,” the alpha stated.

“Hmm…and how do you know this is your territory?” Adonis questioned.

“Well, it is actually unclaimed land. However, as it is closer to our pack’s land, it makes more sense that

it is ours,” the beta now chipped in.

Aarya now made her presence known.

“But it is possible that it could also be the other pack’s land? And the reason they are saying that they’ll

kill you is because they believe it is their land just as you believe it is yours?”

“Yes, but it is closer to our land,” the beta said, making the same argument egoin

Adonis looked at the alpha and beta before saying, “Do you have any proof? Any plans for the land?

Any measurements?”

Both the alpha and beta shook their heads.

“That’s what I suspected. I cannot and will not proclaim the land as yours until I am sure. As such, I will

send my brother to inspect, and whatever he proclaims, will be final.

“As much as I see the issue, it is not urgent enough for me to deal with it personally, but do not think

that we do not care. Damien will go with you today to deal with the issue,” Adonis said.

What?

Me?

I glared at Adonis, who didn’t seem to care. Of course not.

I should have gone back to London when I had the chance.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. We appreciate it greatly,” the alpha replied.

“My brother will pack a bag and come immediately.” Adonis looked at me.

Great

This is why I hate being a royal.

All the duties expected of you drove me insane. Nothing I could do about it now, my brother had clearly

made his decision.

I stood up and nodded. “I’ll be down shortly.”

“Until then, you are welcome to wait in the other room. Guards will escort you there.” Adonis motioned

for the guards.

I glared at my brother as I left.

***

It didn’t take long for me to pack a bag. Obviously, I had no plans on staying any longer than I needed

to.

Adonis was waiting by the stairs and pulled me aside.

“I know you’re angry, but I think this is a good opportunity for you,” Adonis said.

“Opportunity for what?” I asked.

“To find your mate. I wasn’t able to travel to find Aarya, but you can. (This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com)Sending you to packs in different locations helps,” Adonis stated.

“So, the only reason I’m going is because you want me to find my mate?” I questioned

“That and I have more important matters to deal with. You can handle this.” Adonis patted me on the

back.

Since I was leaving, royal guards would accompany me. It wasn’t like I needed the protection, but it

was protocol.

Adonis may have changed a lot of things since he took over, but one thing I knew he would never

budge on was security.

The alpha and beta were already in their car.

“We can’t thank you enough for coming back with us, Your Majesty,” the alpha said.

I just nodded and slipped into my car, which was behind theirs. The royal flag was waving in the wind.

I refused to let anyone else drive, I wanted the space.

The guards had their car behind mine. The address had already been plugged into my car’s sat-nav.

Only two hours away. Not bad.

When we set off, I couldn’t help but let my mind wonder.

What if I really do find my mate?

She would come back to the palace with me, but would she come back to London with me?

Do I want to go back to the place that had been my home for so long?

The hole in my heart was getting bigger each day. Thankfully, I wasn’t like Adonis. My lycan was fine.

For now.

I knew that in a few years, I might be in the same boat as Adonis. After all, our lycans crave the mate

bond just as much as we do. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Maybe Adonis was onto something. All this traveling should help me find my mate. Even thinking about

that got my lycan excited.

The drive was over too soon, and as I pulled into the pack, I saw the crowd. It was clear they had been

informed I was arriving.

People stood there, excited and probably wanting to catch a glimpse of me.

It wasn’t often that a member of the royal family visited. After turning off the engine, I sighed.

The guards were already by the car as I got out. I wanted to tell them to back off, but I couldn’t be

bothered. They would surround me.

“This way, Your Majesty.” The alpha beckoned me over.

PV

I smiled at people who were waving the royal flag and made my way inside the pack house. I was

taken straight up to the alpha’s office.

“From here you can see the other pack as well as the unclaimed land,” he said.

I went over and looked out the window.

Sure enough, in the distance was the other pack house. There were wolves stationed up to the agreed

line, but there was a section of land where there were no wolves.

This was the unclaimed land.

From here, it looked like it was closer to this pack’s land. However, I couldn’t rush a judgment as much

as I would have liked to.

It would reflect badly on Adonis. Damn, I would have to go to the other pack’s land and see from there.

“Arrange a meeting. I need to go over there,” I stated.

“I don’t think he will talk to me.” The alpha sighed.

“Fine, ring his number.” I picked up the phone while the alpha dialed the number.

It only took two rings before someone answered, “I told you before, do not call me. You are pathetic,

trying to claim the land as yours,” a voice scoffed.

“Well, that is certainly a greeting to remember.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)

However, I think you’ll find that I am not the alpha and I do not appreciate being spoken to in that

manner,” I harshly replied.

Do I use my royal title?

The one I so despise?

Or should I leave this pathetic bastard hanging and let him see for himself when I arrive?

“He’s the prince,” the alpha scoffed.

“Your… Your Majesty, please forgive me,” the voice stuttered.

I guess that saved me from saying it.

“I will be at your pack in twenty minutes.” I gave this arrogant bastard no room for argument.

“Of course, we look forward to your arrival,” he said, his tone of voice changed.

My response was cut off by a woman’s voice in the background. It was weak, but I heard it.

“Please… please don’t.”

At the sound of her voice, it suddenly felt like my whole life had turned

At the sound of her voice,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) it suddenly felt like my

whole life had turned upside down my blood ran cold and my lycan threatened to take over.

What the fuck is happening to me?
