The Lycan's Queen novel Chapter 10

The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 10 

Series

The next two days came around much quicker than expected. I found myself neck deep in all the packing I had to do. Without fail, Adonis rang me every day, and I actually looked forward to my calls. 

He asked me how packing went, and I replied with “boring,” to which he said that I should have just stayed home with him. 

But I told him the same thing, that I wanted to say a proper goodbye to the place I grew up in, and he understood. 

Carter stepped right into his role of being alpha, and Diya was right by his side. Seeing them both together either made me feel sick or made me feel happy 

I think Carter purposely tries to make me feel sick by making out with my cousin in front of me.

True to his word, Luke followed me around everywhere. I could tell he was super cautious. For me, I had come to terms with the fact I couldn‘t escape this time, but I hadn‘t given up. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

Sophia was around a lot too, she helped me pack and talked to me about the changes I would be facing. Sounded pretty daunting to be honest, but I just nodded and smiled. 

There was one person who began to give me the creeps. Hunter 

For some reason, every time I glanced at him, he was already looking back at me. I no longer felt the pain that I used to feel but instead felt very uncomfortable. 

It felt like he was staking a claim on me, and that wouldn‘t end well for him. I can‘t imagine Adonis willingly giving me over to Hunter ever. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

Adonis rang me at 9 a.m. this morning to tell me he was on his way to my pack. Those words made me jump out of bed and quickly get ready. 

Knowing that this would be my last time in my room made me sad. After all, my room had been my sanctuary forever, and I didn‘t want to leave it behind. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

Mom popped her head through the door and said, “All packed?” I didn‘t 

trust my voice, so I just nodded, and Mom sighed. “Baby, I know you‘re finding this difficult, but this is a brand new chapter for you. You should be excited! This will always be your home no matter what, you know that.” 

“Oh, Mom. How can I leave everything behind? This is all I have ever known.” I collapsed into my mom’s warm embrace.

She ran her hands through my hair before replying, “Aarya, I raised a strong girl. Change is always hard, but I know that you will get through it.” Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

I sighed before nodding. “I‘ll try.” 

“That‘s my girl.” Mom smiled at me. 

I spent the next two hours packing and bringing everything downstairs. Carter and Diya came to help, although Carter just spent most of the time annoying me.

“Smiley, don‘t leave.” Carter gave me a sad smile.

“Don‘t you start because I think I might cry.” I shook my head. 

“I‘ve been putting this to the back of my head thinking I have plenty of time left with you. God, I’ll miss you, Smiley.” Carter pulled me in for a big hug, I let myself sink into his embrace and then responded, “How am I going to survive without your constant teasing?” 

“You‘re too high and mighty for that now,” Carter teased me. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

Saying goodbye to my pack proved to be too much for me as a few tears escaped. I was wiping some away before a car pulled up. 

Adonis stepped out, and immediately people bowed to him. His gaze found mine, and I was entranced as he walked toward me.

“Little mate, I have missed you,” Adonis whispered, sending shivers down my spine.

I gave him a small smile and watched as his gaze hardened on the tears that had fallen. 

“Tears? Who made my queen cry?” Adonis growled. 

People looked down at the floor in worry, and I looked at my mate‘s face. He was looking at everyone, trying to figure out why I was crying. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

“No one made me cry. I am just upset that I am leaving,” I softly said. 

Adonis looked at me and sighed, “I should have known. Sorry, everyone, I overreacted.” 

“No, you were just concerned for your mate,” Carter replied. 

Adonis nodded and looked at me. “Are you all set to go?” 

I nodded, and Adonis motioned for the guards standing behind him to take my stuff away. 

Tears threatened to fall again when I saw all my belongings being packed away and my family standing there with sad smiles on their faces. 

Before we sat in the car, a voice called my name. “Aarya.” 

to see Hunter rushing forward with something in his hand. See, if I still had the same feelings as I did before, then my heart would be racing so fast, but now I just felt uncomfortable. 

“Don‘t go without me giving you your gift. Here.” Hunter gave me a necklace 

It was a simple necklace, but as I held it in my hand, I couldn‘t help but think he was staking some sort of claim on me. 

“Let me.” Hunter took the chain out of my hand. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

“No,” Adonis and I both said at the same time. 

I looked at Adonis, who looked like he was going to tear Hunter apart. Shit, I hope he hadn‘t figured out that Hunter was the one that broke my heart.

“Thanks for the gift, Hunter, but I will put it on later. We need to get going now,” I explained. 

Hunter nodded, but I couldn‘t help but notice the defeated look on his face. My gaze found Carter, who was currently glaring at Hunter. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

That confirmed my suspicions that Hunter was indeed acting weirdly. There was no sign of Lana anywhere, which was odd. 

Adonis was still glaring at Hunter, but I decided to take charge. 

“Come on, Adonis, we need to get going,” I said, pulling Adonis out of his anger-fueled trance against Hunter.

He nodded at me, and I turned to my family and smiled sadly. 

“I love you all, and I will miss you so much,” I said. 

“We love you too, Aarya,” my dad replied. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

Once Adonis and I were both in the car, I waved sadly as we left my pack house. The only place I knew as home for all these years. 

The first hour of the journey was silent; I listened to music while Adonis drove. We stopped at services in the second hour for a toilet break, and I met Sophia while getting some food. 

When we hit the road again, I noticed that Adonis hadn‘t gotten any food while I picked up a sandwich.

Then entailed the inner debate of whether or not I should offer him my sandwich

My wolf, of course, was saying offer him all my food, which was pushing it just a little. After all, a girl still needed to eat. 

In the end, I decided to share my sandwich, but when I offered it to Adonis, he told me he couldn‘t eat and drive. What rubbish, I always ate and drive.

Nevertheless, I felt some sort of need to want Adonis to eat. Therefore, I did the only logical thing possible. I fed him. 

I think he was shocked when my hand suddenly went in front of his face, holding a sandwich. He looked at me in confusion, and I glanced back at the sandwich and said, “Eat.” Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

He nodded slowly, and while focusing on the road, took a bite out of the sandwich. That action made me shiver.

Honestly, was my body going to react like this every time Adonis did something? I wasn‘t sure I could handle it.
