Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 29

Noras POV

It has been three weeks by now and everything is peaceful or not.. Everyday I heal one rogue lycan and bring the human back to reality and we discover that those who I have healed are very, very loyal to me. And even protective of me.

Helios and Ares are in constant fights over me. A few days ago Helios took me out for a picnic in the garden but Ares knocked Helios unconscious and took his place and after that it has been a constant war between them. Sure it’s nice to feel that I am loved but this is going overboard.

I went with Anna to her friend Laura’s house since she was celebrating her birthday. I took some flowers with me from my garden and she loved them. I finally got to see how they properly celebrate birthdays here. It was so much fun that I can’t wait for my own to come.

Daniel is staying by my side each day and we talk a lot, Artemis and Ari are happy to finally be together again.

But there is something strange going on with Artemis, she feels distant and it takes longer time to heal a rogue lycan now, perhaps I should go see Elder William to talk about it.

I also got a book from Helios, he said it was from Mia’s grandmother, it holds a bunch of information about the moon goddess and even Artemis and her hidden abilities. I have read the book four times now and there is something that I can’t make sense of

But right now I should go out and take some fresh air before the witch. comes back today, yep Mia is coming here today to talk to the king

over something. No one is looking forward to her coming here.

But we can’t have it all can we now. Sigh. I walk out of my room and down to the kitchen where the kitchen staff is making lunch. One of the girls there gives me an apple and I nod my head at her before walking out. Linus spots me and comes jogging towards me.

Oh, right, after I healed his father Linus has become a closer friend than before and because of Mia, the entire kingdom knows of me and that I am the last female lycan so the king has assigned a smaller group of warriors to take turns to guard me.

Daniel is always by my side but he can’t be with me now because Helios needed him to help with something. So Linus is going with me today. And the king said that I would have a handmaiden but I haven’t found one that I get along with, yet.

So now, I and Linus are taking a walk in the big garden, talking about what is happening around the castle and Linus’ training. Linus was first in warrior training but now he wants to be one of my bodyguards so his training schedule has changed and he trains even harder.

Gray and Andrei have both signed up for the future queen’s guard duty and a couple of other guys have as well. At first I told the king that I didn’t need any but he wouldn’t hear any of it. So I gave up and just accepted it and lucky me that I did it.

I took a trip with Anna to go to the town outside the castle walls and I had Andrei with me, even though I was grumpy about having someone following me around but just as I was about to leave a store I was hit on the head and dragged away.

I didn’t come very far as Andrei got up with us in a matter of seconds and he, well, he saved me since he still refuses to tell me what he did to the other guy.

So now I have stopped with the protests, outloud anyway. Sigh.

As I and Linus walk through the garden I notice something, candles floating in the smaller fountain. They aren’t supposed to be there.

“Haha someone is trying to get your attention today” Linus says and points up the tree.

As I look up I notice paper lanterns hanging in the tree, and of course Ares that is sitting on one of the branches.

“Hello Nora, hungry? I have some food and lemonade, “Ares says casually.

I sigh but smile and nod, I feel Artemis perk up, feeling happy by Ares’

attention.

“I thought you avoided me” I say and look at Ares as he jumps down

and lands on his feet

“Yes well, Helios and I made a bet or more like we had a fight and Helios won so he made me avoid you. So what have you and Helios been doing this past week?” Ares pouts but stretches out his hand for me to take.

“So you guys fought over me and that is why you have been invisible and Helios has been the perfect boyfriend that has come to greet me every morning with a red rose in his hand?” I say and shrug but take

his hand.

Ares laughs but guides me to a set up table with a loveseat next to it. I sit down and Ares pulls me up and sits down first before he pulls me down on his lap.

“So he stole my idea then, ba stard.” Ares says and I can feel that he is jealous.

“What was your idea to come by each morning with a red rose? How romantic of you.” I say and giggle a bit.

“Ares I have something serious to ask of you, can you please give me a straight answer?” I ask and turn in his lap which causes Ares to groan and I wondered if I have hurt him.

“Yes Nora I will answer honestly if you stop moving like that in my lap or I will take you here and now” he answers.

The answer is making me stop and think and when I finally get it I blush like hell. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Your question, princess?” Ares asks me with a wink.

“What will you do about Mia? She said before that she wants the title of crown princess and high priestess and that can only work if you take her as your chosen mate since she doesn’t like Helios. “I say and look down at my hands.

After a few seconds Ares growls and I look up at him and notice that he is arguing with his lycan as his eyes go back and forth between purple and black.

When they finally go back to purple he takes a deep breath and kisses me on my lips.

“This problem with Mia is my problem but I promise you that I only want you and no one else. I will give Mia what she wants but I won’t take her as my chosen mate, not as long as I am alive. Yes I promised her that if I didn’t find my mate before my father stepped down I would take her as a chosen mate but then you came and my whole world changed. I am in love with you Nora, no one else and honestly I was never in love with Mia.” Ares answers and I just stare at him

“Okay thank you then we should..” I begin to say but I stop as a loud

noise is heard and the ground starts to shake.

“What the hell?”
