Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 22

Helios POV

It didn’t surprise me that Mia was the one that was behind this mess, but for some reason I don’t think she invited the rogue lycans. And they are so many of them, perhaps all in this kingdom. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

*Gray, Andrei, come with me. A rogue lycan has kidnapped Nora and Linus is going after Nora. They are headed for the dark forest.*

Both of them growled but followed me out of the chaos in the castle, Ben met us outside the kitchen.

“Ea sier to go out from here, Ares and the top warriors are well having a blast out front” Ben told us

“Damn are we missing the fun stuff?” Andrei complained and made me glance back at him.

Gray smacked him over the head and growled at him. I shook my head, Andrei will get plenty of action when we get to Nora.

We took a shortcut through the kitchen garden and through a gate at the wall but we stopped when we heard Ares roar. Now Mia is done for, I hope he nails her good this time.

We were forced to fight some rogue lycans on the way over to the black forest but most was taken out by Andrei who was having “fun”.

As we got closer to the line of the forest I could hear som fightings inside but just as I took one step inside I felt this chilly feeling. Like when you walk through a cold shower or drinking really cold water but this wasn’t any of that, this was magic and damn I was right.

Hello mince Hohes I have something to say and something to ask. festwards will send you to the forest” Mariah says with a happy smile while giving me a towel.

smit back and put on the towel and lean on the wall while Mariah sits down on the sola.

This gr., Nora, 1 sensed her when you came back. She is a lycan born mom weerwoll parents, remarkable. Our coven hopes that she will break tims wrecked curse you know. But of course some of the younger ones

akes joy in seeing some suffer but not all of us.

He can has a name, right? I want to know what it is.” Mariah exrlamed

y does that matter? Ah forget it, her lycans name is Artemis, she is some sort of healer, she can heal the minds of the rogue lycans” I answer and watch Mariah as she nods and then goes up to fetch a old book from the wall. I guess it’s a cloaking spell or something because I can’t see any bookshelves.

“Give this to your mate, it has a lot of history that she and her lycan will find interest in. So do you have any questions for me?” Mariah asks while giving me the book.

“Yes, but now is not the time for questions, I need to go back for Nora” I begin but Mariah glares at me so I sigh.

“Damel and Nora are twin souls but Nora has two mates, which is me and Ares and I know this will get a bit … itchy” I say and Mariah tilts her head and I see her eyes go black.

Mariah isn’t just a witch or priestess, she is also a seer, she can see into the past and the future.

“Yes. Their lycans are siblings if you want to call it. Or more likely, Daniel’s lycan has always been Artemis’ shadow and the bond between them is forged forever. If someone would try to break it both Artemis and Daniel’s lycan could die” Maria confirms my suspicions.

I nod and takes the book, wondering how I am going to carry it while fighting.

“Silly prince it will appear in your bedroom, when you get back” Mariah chuckles and starts to wave her hand but right before she can send me off I tell her this.

“You do know this chaos is organized by your granddaughter Mia. She and some friends blew the castle and inevitable got the rogue lycans into the kingdom and even inside the castle walls”

Mariah looks stunned for a second and then furious before she nods and waves me out. I just happen to let go of the towel when I take a step inside the dark forest and into the creek. She dropped me off inside the middle of the fighting, sigh. Witches.

I stood there for a second, trying to organize the fight that I was looking at when my lycan finally got Nora’s scent and we shifted. I attacked a lycan near her and she screamed so I looked up and noticed that she was sitting in a tree. Tilting my head in confusion as to why she was sitting in a tree, I didn’t notice that a rogue lycan behind me and he got the upper hand as I felt his claws raking down my back and I roared before swinging at him.

He flew into a tree that broke in the middle and fell down. Then I felt it, a pulse of some sorts, like the entire forest came to life in one go. The water in the creek started to float into the air and the ground rumbled, the trees were cracking and bending.

I took the opportunity to go to Nora and I found her in the same tree but now it was bent but she was holding on to it like it was her only life line.

*Nora, let go of the tree* I mindlinked her and I could see her shaking her head.

*Trust me*

I watch as she slowly lets go of the tree and really, really slowly moves so she can get off but something happens, the ground shakes a bit and then the very same tree that she is clinging on bends down towards me and I gasp.

Nora’s eyes aren’t just purple anymore, there is a golden ring around the irises, she is so beautiful. The tree lets go of her and she slides down into my arms and then I watch the tree slowly stretching its way up again.

“Artemis called upon the forest but she isn’t strong enough to hold it” Nora whispers and I look down on her in awe. I don’t deserve her and neither does Ares.
