The Lycan's Queen novel Chapter 21

The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 21

Adonis growled at the man, “How the fuck did you get in?”

To my surprise, this man didn’t look scared or even fazed that Adonis was a few seconds away from losing control. Instead, he looked like he was enjoying it.

That was confirmed by his smirk, and it wasn’t the sexy smirk; it was the terrifying one that made you feel uneasy.

“I just came to see your mate. Calm down.” This man had no shame.

Adonis’s body was very tense, and Lexi grabbed onto me, probably nervous in case Adonis lost control.

I noticed Niya standing to the side with a confused expression on her face. Luckily she was away from all the drama. She’s got enough to deal with.

The last thing I need today is for Adonis to lose control in front of this idiot, who obviously has it out for him.

“I’m the king, and I decide what scum can enter my home, and you are not welcome. So, take your annoying niece and leave.” Adonis gritted his teeth.

Niece? Wait… don’t tell me his niece is Savanah?

“You call my niece annoying? Savanah doesn’t deserve those harsh words.” The man looked offended.

You know what, I can see the resemblance. Both annoying fools who don’t know their place, and both have that look in their eyes that they are up to no good.

Well, the bonus of this dickhead being here is that he can take his bitchy niece back home so I don’t have to deal with her.

One less stress on my plate. Plus, Savanah has long overstayed her welcome, if you ask me.

“I don’t need to explain my choice of words to you, Mark.” Adonis was clenching his fists. That was not good.

“Well I heard about the attack on vour mate How someone managed to

 

sneak in and hang the body of a dead child above her. Where were you? I heard you were in your study, away from your mate. If you aren’t capable of protecting your own mate from anger, then you certainly are not capable of running a kingdom.”

Oh heck no. Someone needs to tell this Mark that if he continues, I’ll kick him to the curb.

How dare he insult my mate like that? And does he truly believe I will just let him get away with this?

I narrowed my eyes and stood in front of Adonis. He wouldn’t hurt me, and this way he would remain calm.

“Who do you think you are, telling Adonis what he is and isn’t capable of? He’s ruled without a mate for ten years and has done a damn good job. Your opinion is unwanted and a pile of shit because you’re just upset that your niece didn’t get to be Adonis’s mate. Now, it is time for you and your receding hair line to get the fuck out of here. Oh, and don’t forget your whining niece.” I smiled sweetly at the end.

I heard Lexi laugh quietly, and some of the guards cracked a smile. I looked at one of them, who seemed to get the message and hurried off to get the annoying scum out of here for good.

Mark stood there with his mouth hanging open, probably shocked because no woman has ever spoken to him like that.

“Listen here, I don’t take orders from women,” Mark scoffed.

I smirked and replied, “Never thought I would use my title, but now seems like the perfect time because it means I can bring you down off of your high horse. Get out of my palace before I make you. It’s the queen’s orders. You tried your luck with your niece, and thankfully it didn’t work, so it is time for you to leave.”

Adonis placed his hand on my shoulder, so I turned around to see his massive smirk.

“My queen has spoken; you know where the door is.”

“What are you doing? Get your hands off me,” a familiar voice yelled.

God, her voice was so annoying.

Savanah was brought down by the guards and was clearly unimpressed at how she was being treated.

“Dimitri, tell them to take their hands off of me. Look at what they are doing,” Savanah complained.

 

“You see, Savanah, you have overstayed your welcome. But don’t worry, your beloved uncle has come to pick you up and take you home because this was never your home, and it will never be your home.” I motioned to Mark

“Uncle Mark?” Savanah looked shocked.

Adonis didn’t waste any time before picking me up and calling to Gabe and Evan who just joined. “Get them out of here.”

“Oh man. Why do I always miss the fun?” Evan complained, causing me to giggle.

Adonis carried me all the way up to our temporary room and placed me on the bed.

“Do you know how incredibly sexy that was?” He looked at me with pride.

“No, but looking at your eyes, I can guess that you found it very sexy.” I laughed.

“You told Mark to leave, and you used your title against him. Little one, that was fucking amazing.” Adonis shook his head in disbelief.

“Thank you. But I had to do it. That idiot was saying all sorts of crap about you.” I rolled my eyes.

“Every day you surprise me.” Adonis smiled at me.

“Yeah, well after the day we have had, I think a good surprise was in order,” I replied.

Suddenly the atmosphere changed. It was like something clicked in Adonis because he now looked like he wanted to devour me.

“You’re right. After the events of today, I need a distraction,” Adonis said, smirking

My heart was racing as I looked at the familiar sight of desire swirling in his eyes.

“But… but now isn’t time. There’s so much going on….,” I trailed off.

“Exactly why I need a distraction, and I believe I told you I want a taste. I haven’t forgotten, little one, and now seems like the perfect time.”

Adonis looked like he was enjoying my flustered state.

 

“Now really isn’t the time, Adonis,” I tried again.

Of course my words fell on deaf ears as Adonis came toward me with a predatory look in his eyes.

Well shit, there was no Savanah to interrupt now. Adonis was really going to get his taste.

My eyes looked toward the window. Maybe I could jump out? Now, it wasn’t because I didn’t want Adonis to have a taste, but if he wanted a distraction, I couldn’t make it easy for him.

Plus, there was a thrill I got from making him chase me. It made it more fun.

“Have you locked the door?” I asked.

Adonis’s smirk got bigger. “Seems like someone is ready.”

As he turned to lock the door, I jumped up and ran toward the window. Adrenaline filled my body as I opened the window and stuck one leg out.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Adonis caught me.

I was now sitting on the window, with one leg in and one leg out. Great going, Aarya. I was too slow for Adonis.

“Do you think I’d let you leave without getting my taste?” He licked his lips.

“You wanted a distraction, so I’m giving you one.” I fluttered my eyelashes.

“Don’t even think about jumping, little one. Come inside so I can have my taste.” Adonis’s eyes were locked onto my legs.

This time I smirked, even though he couldn’t see.

“Where’s the fun in that?” I said.

Before he could say anything, I swung my leg over and jumped. Thank fuck I was a lycan now because I landed on the ground safely.

Adonis’s head popped out the window, and he growled.

“So, you want to play. Let’s play, but you better run fast because I am hungry.”

 

I shivered seeing that predatory look in his eyes. Then my eyes widened in shock when his words sank in. Fuck, now what?

“Fuck, you’re gorgeous,” he groaned, letting go of my hands and trailing kisses down my body.
