Lycan King’s Nemesis

When the giant guards let us pass through the giant gates, the bus soon came to a stop not far from the gate and in the snap of a finger, men dressed like soldiers ran in an orderly manner to stand in front of the bus, barricading it from moving any further.

My heart skipped a beat.

The driver died the engines and slowly turned to face me. “As much I would like to see this one through, Lass, I beg your pardon but I don’t think I have the effrontery to come face to face with the almighty sovereign.”

Why was he making it look like the man was some god? Wasn’t it the same man I saw the other day? Or, was there another King apart from that one?This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

I shook my head and tried to concentrate, panic in my voice. “Look, you can’t leave me to… these people!” I craned my neck through the window to catch a glimpse of the men whose heads were almost reaching the louvres of the car. How could they be so huge?

“I’m sorry, Lassie. But I have to go. Please go down.” He concluded and reached his head out to say something in the same language I overheard him speak to the guards outside the gate with.

I exhaled loudly and looked about, fast-growing distraught than I have ever been. Here I was thinking this man would take me to the King_

The door swung open with pressure and soon two men appeared, their hawky eyes piercing at me as their mouths positioned in a manner that looked like they were almost baring their fangs to rip me apart if I tried anything silly.

I lifted my hands in surrender. “Look, I’m not here for trouble, okay? I-I just want to see your King.” I glanced at the driver hysterically. “Tell them.”

He shrugged casually. “I already did, Lass. These are the salutaries. There is no way you can see the King’s personal Deltas without them. They will take you directly to the King guards who in turn will take you to the King. Call it security measures. Your kind are… not trusted around here. Plus, the full moon is around the corner. A rogue can lie to be the King’s mate and yunoo…”

I scoffed audibly. As if. What would they possibly want to do with the ass of a man? I nodded. “Fine.”

I have to go through thousand men just to get to one man. Well, it’s not like I have a choice. I made my way down. “Thank you, Lycan!” I called over my shoulders as the men’s hands clasped me and started dragging me off.

“Wait, is this necessary?!” I careened, trying to look back where the bus was starting to reverse.

“Quiet, Ms. The palace is a very solitary place and the Queen will not tolerate any form of disquiet.” One of the men said in plain Scottish accent. It wasn’t news the Lycans being close to East, most of them were of Scottish origin.

“Can I at least walk properly? I am a Beta’s daughter where I come from. I deserve some respect!”

“That doesn’t matter here, Ms. Your position here is more or less the position of a scurrily maid!”

My heart twisted. Me, a scrurrily maid?

I didn’t open my mouth again after that insult nor did I know how long they dragged me before we got to the entrance of the building where they stopped and let me go roughly that I staggered forward and fell to the ground.

I stood up abruptly and dusted my messy hands. “You people will pay for this!” I threatened as the door burst open and three men came strolling out like black Panthers, their shoulders higher than anything my eyes have ever seen.

I jumped back and collided with one of the men who grabbed me to steady me. Goddess! Are these men or had there been any form of biological mutation that made them look so extraordinarily big?

One of their eyes latched on me like a magnet, taking me in with a look that spoke disgust. “What did you say she said?” He asked no one in particular.

“She said she is the King’s mate.”

Like the best joke of the century was cracked, the man busted out laughing, and soon the others joined. Out of their own volition, my eyes trailed down to my clothes which were rumpled and shredded in different directions. Was it why they were laughing? Because I was looking like

I escaped from a madhouse?

What effrontery. I was a Beta’s daughter! I was the belle d’monde of my pack. The cheerleader, the queen bee! Julian’s girl!

I stopped, realizing how my body shook with rage, but deflated at once as I realized all these accomplishments were all in the past and lest I forget, all sham!

“Bring her!” The man ordered as his laughter receded, and walked inside.

No sooner was the order made was I grabbed by one of the men who tossed me over his huge shoulder and was skating through the palace’s large doors.

“Let me down, you brute!”I pounded his back which was a waste of time.

“Shu!”

“I will kill you with my bare hands if you don’t bring me down, you dickhead!”

“I said, shoo!” The man slapped my ass and I saw red.

“You have the guts to tap your King mate’s ass? I wi_”

“What is going on here?”

The men stopped abruptly, and so did I as I heard an elegant sultry feminine voice behind me.

“My-my Quee_”

“Who is she and why are you holding her in such a callous unrefined manner?” The woman asked.

“She said_”

“Bring her down at once!”

My legs touched down at once and I quickly glared at the man hence I rotated 360 to locate the woman with such voice of a goddess and indeed I was rendered dumb at seeing her. It appeared everybody here was either too huge or too beautiful. “H-hi,” I said shakily, mesmerized by her person.

“She made an obnoxious statement of being the King’s mate, my Queen,” one of the men was finally able to speak. I saw the way they looked like they wanted to shit their pants. They couldn’t even look at her.

There was no mistaking her distinct eye color which was the same as that of the obnoxious man from the other day, nor the brown hair color for that matter.

As gracefully as she could foster, her eyes took a thorough look at me before stopping at my face. Then she lifted her right hand and waved away the guards without even looking at them. I saw them hesitate but at once these bulky men all scurried off.

“Come,” She said and began moving away. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me to run after her. And that was what I did.
