Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Ares POV Maria did a minor spell to steady the connection between Nora and the surroundings, so now Nora can hear us more clearly when we talk to her and of course, Helios took the first turn and I waited out here patiently. When Helios finally comes out I can see that he has been crying. But I pretend to not see it and Helios pats my shoulder and I hug him. When he releases me, he gives me a smile and a nod and I go into Nora. I see her laying on the bed and I sit down on the bed next to her, I take her cold hand in mine and kiss it softly while not trying to cry. “Hey, princess, I know that you can hear me and I will probably sound like a broken record but I need to tell you that I love you and I miss you so much. I bet Helios told you about the thing I created for fun, a challenge tournament and to think that Helios was the first one to challenge me. He probably wants to see if he has become stronger than me but I doubt it, you see it’s really rare for a lycan to have twins. Often the stronger twin will absorb the weaker one before birth but as you saw in the memories, the witch caused my mother to go into an early labor and both of us were still alive. But nothing to discuss. I am the stronger twin and as such I had tried to absorb Helios in the womb but I didn’t succeed. So Helios who was the weaker one has always been behind 1/4 This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

me in physical trials but he totally out ran me in academics. and politics so in a way we weigh each other up. Night and day, so to speak. But anyway I will fight with Helios and then against Gray, and then I will challenge uncle Dave. I would have loved to be able to challenge you too and by the way I will challenge Daniel as well. I have never liked him very much, he has this look in his eyes, like he can see right through one. He is scary sometimes. I don’t know what to say to you, princess, all I want is for you to wake up and then I want to hold you in

my arms so hard that you can never leave me again. I love you so, so much and I promise that I will never betray you ever again. I love you, Nora.” I say and then I kiss her softly on her lips before walking out and in the hallway I meet uncle Dave that was waiting for me. “I just wanted to sit with Nora for a while” uncle Dave says and I nod and walk toward the dungeons. Helios and our father are together with Mia’s mother and grandmother, Maria, waiting for me to arrive. Father unlocks. the door down to the dungeons and we step in and down the steps until we come to the guards down there. I let them know that we are there to see Mia and they nod and one of them follows us with the keys. We walked past a bunch of rogue lycans and some intruders that tried to harm our people. All the way to the last cell, where Mia is sitting in the coldest cell and the only cell that blocks magic. Mia looked even worse than before, as she sat on the floor and her once blonde hair is almost black with dirt and she still ||| smells of puke, I look away from her as I try not to throw up again from the smell alone. “Oh pitiful child” Maria says and Mia looks up at us. “Grandmother, please, help me out of here” Mia pleads. “That is not for me to decide, child” Maria answers and looks. at the king. “No, that is my decision and right now it pleases me to know that you are down here, in this cell” father says and I want to sigh because I really want to put her in a shower. “Dad, let her shower off that stench, before it kills everyone down here” Helios says and I look at him. *Helios, why are you calling father for dad? Have you become crazy these days?* I mindlink my brother. *You are the crazy one these days and you know it. I call him dad because our dad is back, his lycan has withdrawn and he is happy that I call him dad and so should you do* Helios answer and I feel conflicted. The last time I called him dad, I was chained to a wall and I got 10 lashings for it. His lycan was furious and told me to show respect in front of others, I should have called him sir or father.

I shiver by the memory of what happened and miss when father actually allows Mia out of the cell to take a shower and get her something to eat. “Why can’t we get her a maid’s room and enchant it with anti- magic?” I suggest and all of them are staring at me. “We already-agreed on that, Ares. What would you think if you didn’t pay attention to what we said?” father asked and I looked down to the floor when I couldn’t say anything to explain why I hadn’t heard what they discussed. “Whatever I just want…” Mia started but Maria said a word and put her hand over Mia’s mouth and when she took it away. Well it looked like something out of a horror movie, it looked like new skin had grown over Mia’s mouth. Effectively making her mouth go away, no matter what she tried to make sounds nothing came out. What a nightmare. I could see how she was starting to panic but I turned around, refusing to see how she was tortured. “Well let’s get you settled in now then” Helios said and grabbed her by her arm and dragged her upstairs.
