Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 30

Ares POV

Sh it this week has been torturous, I and Helios had this huge fight and I was stu pid enough to challenge him over Nora. Nora is totally worth it but Helios is stronger than me so I naturally lost. I have been avoiding Nora for a week now and I have been spending my time either training Nora’s future bodyguards or in the library trying to read about her lycan and her abilities.

The witches have had a prophecy for over 500 years now, speaking of a female lycan born from two different kingdoms and that she will either help or destroy the future. But I don’t know if this female is Nora or someone else. Because the prophecy never tells if it’s the last female lycan it only says a female lycan.

Mia’s mother sent a message that Mia will come back in a week and that she wants Nora’s forgiveness but she also reminded me of the promise I gave to her. And for a witch, a promise is not a childs play, I can’t take it back. I explained to Mia’s mother about the promise I gave to Mia and she was surprised that I actually had left a loophole in my promise and that she would explain to Mia.

Now it has been a week and today I will surprise Nora with a date in the garden. I said that Linus will guard Nora today and he will take her to the garden on a walk while I prepare everything.

I heard that Nora hasn’t chosen a handmaiden yet which is good and bad for a couple of reasons. Sure it’s good that she hasn’t got anyone yet so I can make surprises for her but at the same time it isn’t as if she had one then I could have got help from her by slowing Nora down.

But now I have set up a table and a loveseat, I have burning candles in the smaller fountain and I am hanging paper lanterns in the tree, trying to create some romantic atmosphere in the garden. Tomorrow

I want to take her out in the town but I will have Gray with us. I like him, he is a great warrior and a good friend.

I also appointed Andrei, Luka, Henry and Mick as her guards, and that little runt Linus wants to pay his debt to her since she saved his dad. But as I understood it, Linus and Nora were friends before that.

I take a rest in the tree when I hear Nora’s laughter and I can smell her, a flowery scent, sweet but not sickly sweet. It’s a refreshing scent. I watch her as she stops and looks at the candles in the small fountain and then she looks up in the tree and it takes a few extra seconds before her eyes land on me and she gives off a small smile.

Relieved that she is a bit happy I jump down and land on my feet and reach out my hand for her to take which she does. I am surprised to learn that Helios stole my idea by giving her a red rose each morning. I wanted to do that. Hmpf. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

I pull Nora down in my lap and hug her, gosh what I have missed her all this time, I am sick of arguing and fighting with Helios all the time. All I want is some time with my mate, I know she is his mate too but I still want some alone time with her. He got to know her before me but now I want to know her too.

Then she asked me the one question I was sure I could answer, my feelings for Mia. I don’t have any, and I never had. Mia was always following me and Helios around and one day I had enough so I grabbed her and kissed her.

It was like she was waiting for it and since then she hasn’t let me go, sure it was nice to be free of the other girls that wanted my attention and since father said that Helios would take over after him I gave up. I focused on the training since I am more into fighting than doing

politics and the boring stuff.

So naturally I played around with Mia. It was a convenience to have a witch by my side but I noticed that she was much more than an ordinary witch. I learned that she was the great great or something granddaughter of the witch that created the curse which took my mothers and my little sister’s life.

But I knew deep inside that Mia wasn’t cruel like her, but still something inside whispered that something was different about her. Her magic was stronger than that of her mother and grandmother. Her magic aura was dark green, almost black, while her mothers was light green and her grandmothers was blue.

A witch’s magic aura color shows how pure the magic is, if it’s white it’s a sign of the purest magic, our moon goddess magic but if it is darker it can be shown of dark magic and that is forbidden.

But I have never voiced my suspicions if Mia goes against us we won’t stand a chance at all against her.

I told Nora how I was feeling both for Mia and for her, she looked surprised and as she started to answer my confession we felt the ground shake and a loud noise traveled in the air and reached us.

“Oh shit, Linus take Nora back now! We are under attack” I yelled for Linus to come and he took Nora and ran inside while I shifted and called for my warriors to come.

I ran to the gates by the castle walls and was equally surprised as everyone else when there was nothing there.

“Ares what is happening? Is something wrong?” Gray asks me and I look confused at him.

“Didn’t you feel that? The ground shook and the noise that sounds

when we are under attack?” I say and feel extremely confused.

All of them shook their heads when my lycan started showing signs of distress, Nora!

I ran inside the castle but I was too late as Mia just stood there with a cruel smile on her face and she was holding Nora by her hair and her hand glowed dark green and as I took one step and I heard Helios roar. Mia put her hand on Nora’s head and she disappeared, both of them were gone.

I fell down on to my knees and roared in despair while Helios walked over and I looked up in time to see him pick up a note that was left on the floor. He swore before glaring at me and giving me the note. I read it and shifted back before crying out in frustration.

“She is mine now. Choose me or her?”
