The Lycan's Queen

Chapter 28

The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 28

Gabe was already in the office when Adonis stormed in and picked up the phone. The tension in the

room was evident. One person was missing, and that was Luke.

I looked at Gabe, who nodded. I guess that meant Luke was coming

“What the fuck do you want?” Adonis growled.

Bradley’s sickening laugh was heard. Adonis gripped the phone tighter while both Evan and Gabe

clenched their fists. God, his laugh was awful.

“Is that any way to greet me, old friend?” Bradley’s voice sent shivers down my spine.

Luke walked in at that very moment and immediately went stiff. (This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com)Sophia held his hand for support while Luke stood there. Poor Luke, hearing his

brother’s voice after years must be a shock for him.

“Don’t fucking mess with me. What do you want?” Adonis’s voice was getting louder.

I was stood away from Adonis, but Evan decided that wasn’t on. He pushed me forward so I bumped

into Adonis.

Throwing a glare to Evan, I turned back to face my angry mate. Adonis took my hand and held onto it

for dear life.

“Still not the most patient person, are we? I thought having a mate would change that,” Bradley tutted in

the phone.

Adonis growled and pulled me closer to him. This Bradley guy knew exactly what to say to get on

Adonis’s nerves, and mine too.

“Everyone must be there. Gabe, Evan, and even my little bro Luke. This is a warning. You played your

game all those years ago, now I’m playing mine. Watch your back because you’ll never see me

coming,” Bradley warned.

All the men tensed up and looked at each other.

“Is that a threat?” Adonis spat.

“No, it’s a promise,” Bradley replied.

“Oh. How could I forget? I never said hi to Her Majesty. Did you like your gift? It was my welcome gift to

you. Dmitri, I hope you’re ready to give up your mate.” Bradley laughed.

Adonis couldn’t handle it; his body was shaking, and his eyes switched to pitch-black in seconds. His

lycan had taken over. His loud growl caused objects to shake and fall.

“NO!” he yelled, throwing the phone and narrowly missing Gabe.

Before anyone could do anything, Adonis turned and jumped out the window.

“Fuck, Aarya!” Evan yelled, pulling me away just in time.

Glass went everywhere as Adonis smashed through it and landed safely outside.

His growl was heard, loud and clear, as he ran off.

For a few moments everyone stood there catching their breath and processing what just happened. I

had an awful feeling after hearing this bastard speak

He really had no heart and was clearly messed up. (This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com)That made him even more dangerous because no one knew what he was even

capable of.

Gabe was the first one to speak. “Right, we need to get this mess cleaned up. Niya, you and Lexi go

and find someone to clean this up. The rest of us, we need to talk.”

I can see why Adonis choose Gabe to be his second in command. Gabe knew exactly what to do.

We left the study and walked toward the second study. My lycan was whimpering, begging me to go

and find Adonis because she could feel his lycan’s pain

As much as I wanted to go, I had to talk to the others. Plus, Adonis needed this time alone.

I entered the study and sat down. Everyone looked solemn.

“What do you think he’ll do?” I asked.

Evan sighed, “I have no idea. Bradley is unpredictable and dangerous. His warning is still replaying in

my mind.”

“He wants you. He wants to hurt Adonis, just like Adonis hurt him, but in the worst way possible. What

better way than to take his mate from him?” Luke stared right at me.

An uneasy feeling settled in my stomach as I shook my head.

“He can try all he wants, but he won’t even lay a finger on me. I won’t let him.”

“None of us will. You’re too important to Adonis and everyone here. What we need to do is stay

cautious at all times. Any important information has to be between us and only us. It won’t surprise me

if Bradley has a mole giving him information,” Gabe explained.

“Now what?” Evan asked.

“Well, I think I am going to train. I want to make sure the soldiers are ready for an attack any day.” Luke

stood up, with Sophia by his side.

“Plus, this is a good distraction. Hearing Bradley’s voice. Well… it got to me.” Luke sighed.

“I wouldn’t expect anything different, man. Take care.” Gabe patted Luke on the back.

When Luke and Sophia left, Niya and Lexi walked in

“So…Dimitri?” Evan looked at me.

“I think he needs this time alone. He’s been going through a lot,” I replied.

“You know this is the first time in a long time that he just left. Before, he just had to run off so his lycan

didn’t take over. Since you came, he never needed to because you kept him grounded. But I guess

hearing that your old friend wants to hurt your mate would make anyone lose control,” Gabe chipped in.

“Dimitri takes really long runs,” Evan said.

“And I’ll be waiting for him when he comes back. I know you guys care for him, I can see it in your

eyes. But I know he needs this time to think, to gather his thoughts. He needs his space, and I intend to

give it to him.” I sighed.

“You’re the best thing that has happened to this kingdom. You don’t even realize that what you just said

now proves you have a much deeper connection to Dimitri than you think. His feelings mean so much

to you, and I respect that.” Gabe smiled.

Yeah, me too. Especially since having you here means LIMITi vesh have to be locked up all the time,”

Evan replied.

“We have work to do, especially since Dmitri isn’t here. Let’s go, I want to make sure patrols are

doubled.” Gabe looked at Evan.

Evan looked at Niya and pouted. “Newly mated and already busy.”

“You’ll live.” Niya smiled and patted Evan on the shoulder.

Gabe just rolled his eyes and dragged Evan away.

Now it was just me, Niya, and Lexi left. Lexi sat down next to me and

said, “How do you stay so confident?”

“Because I believe in Adonis.” I shrugged.

“We believe in you.” Niya smiled.

“I don’t want our men to feel like they can’t bring us into any fight.(This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com) We are just as strong as them, so we’ve gotta prove it to them. Hard times are

arriving, we need to be there every step of the way for our mates. Give them love and support because

that is what will drive them to defeat this son of a bitch.” I looked at both girls, who nodded.

“Words of wisdom from the queen herself.” Niya winked.

I rolled my eyes but smiled. The girls left soon after, deciding to go and find their mates.

Adonis wasn’t back yet; I couldn’t sense him. My lycan was pissed at me for not going after Adonis, but

I didn’t care.

Sighing, I stood up and walked out of Adonis’s study and headed to my room. It looked like it would be

a long night for me.

As soon as I entered the room, I had flashbacks of what was going to happen before that bastard

decided to ring.

Such bad timing

Now what? Should I have gone after him? No, he needs this time alone.

HLV

My mind drifted to Bradley. That man was fucking insane. He blamed

Adonis for everything, so it was no surprise to me that he’d threaten me.

I lay on the bed and turned on the TV, flicking aimlessly through the channels. Shaking my head, I

turned my attention to the TV and started

Six episodes later, there was still no sign of Adonis. Now I was beginning to get pissed off.

Where the hell was he? If he was planning on staying out for such a long time, then he needed to tell

someone.

My body wouldn’t allow me to sleep, not until I knew that Adonis was back and he was safe.

A gush of wind got my attention, and I turned to see Adonis failing at trying to sneak in.

“Where the fuck were you?” I said, causing Adonis to jump.

“You’re still awake?” he asked, shocked.

“No, I’m sleep talking.” I rolled my eyes.

“I didn’t think you’d be awake.” Adonis scratched the back of his neck.

“Where did you go?” I tried again.

Adonis sighed and sat down on the bed. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I don’t know, I just ran. Hearing that bastard say those words made me want to destroy everything.”

“Hey, you don’t have to explain why you ran. I think it was pretty obvious. I was worried because you

were gone for so long,” I replied.

“You know, having someone other than Gabe and Evan care about me is something I never thought I

would experience.” Adonis smiled sadly.

“Adonis.” I got up and sat on his lap so I was straddling him.

“This whole mate thing, it terrified me, and it still does. These feelings are so strong because they are

raw. I care for you, and I worry for you; I can’t help it. You’ll always have me worrying about you, even

though you may not always want it.” I smiled.

“This mate thing is pretty strange isn’t it? I never thought I’d have a mate sitting right here on my lap.

When you came into my life so suddenly, I didn’t know what to do. So, I let me possessive lycan

feelings take over. Probably wasn’t the best thing.” Adonis smiled sheepishly.

“Hey, we are still learning. It hasn’t been that long since we found out we were mates,” I replied.

I kissed his check, not his tempting lips.

“No, because I can’t live without you either,” I admitted.

In a flash, Adonis lifted me up and threw me on the bed.

“God, how lucky am I to have you as my mate and queen?” he groaned.

“Extremely lucky, obviously. You should be so thankful that I am so smart, kind…,(This novel will be

daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” I exaggerated but trailed off when Adonis crawled up to meet me.

“And a gorgeous body, sinful lips.” Adonis’s vice got deeper.

“I think it’s time to finish what we started.” He chuckled.

I didn’t have time to protest as he captured my lips and slipped his hand down my underwear.

Oh God… I had a feeling this was going to be a long night.
