The Lycan's Queen novel Chapter 25

 

The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 25

The steely determination in Adonis’s eyes never left as he grabbed my hand, and we left the room.

Of course I was still angry with him, but this mate bond was making it harder for me to stay mad at him.

We made our way back to his study, where Lexi and Niya were still both sitting down. They jumped up when they saw us and looked at Adonis, worried

Adonis paid them no attention as he strode straight to his desk and picked up his phone.

“Bring Luke here now,” Adonis demanded.

He looked at Lexi and Niya. “You both go and get your mates.”

Neither of them said a word but just nodded and left. I guess they felt Adonis’s anger and didn’t want to provoke him.

Adonis didn’t even give me a chance to sit down; he pulled me down so I was sitting on his lap.

Me being angry, I tried to get up and leave, but Adonis held me down. Fucking strong mate(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com), I couldn’t leave his embrace.

Adonis growled and said, “If you keep moving like that, I won’t be responsible for what happens next. A lycan only has so much self-control when it comes to their mate.”

Oh shit. I immediately stopped moving and felt heat rise up my cheeks.

Images of Adonis taking me over his desk invaded my mind, and I swore.

This was not the time to be thinking about that. I shook my head to try and clear the images from my head.

The last thing I needed was to be distracted by my dirty mind.

It didn’t take long for everyone to join. Adonis’s study was big enough for everyone, so I decided to get up off his lap and sit down next to Niya.

 

Being near Adonis was not working out well for me nor my body.

I knew he was angry with my move, but he didn’t say anything. Luke and Sophia joined us this time. Luke’s solemn face told me all I needed to know.

Sophia held onto her mate’s hand, probably comforting him after what just happened.

“Enough is enough, this idiot has played his games with us, but it’s time we show him who he messed with,” Adonis growled.

Evan and Gabe both nodded in agreement. Niya grasped my hand, and I took a deep breath.

“Luke, did you figure out if any of your men saw anything?” Adonis asked.

“They said there was only one guard who they didn’t recognize. He had a scar on his face.” Luke looked angry

Scar

“A scar?” My heart was racing as seven pairs of eyes turned to look at me.

“Scar that looked like claw marks,” I muttered under my breath.

“Aarya?” Niya looked at me, confused.

“The lady. She told me the man who threatened her had a scar that looked like claw marks on his face. It has to be the same guy,” I replied.

Adonis gripped the side of his desk. Both Evan and Gabe looked at Adonis, concerned. Luke stared at the wall, silent, but his grip on Sophia’s hand had me concerned.

“Dimitri, could it be?” Gabe started.

“No, it’s impossible,” Adonis cut Gabe off.

“I think you need to check,” Gabe tried again.

What was going on? Check what? I looked at Luke, who looked tortured. I saw his pain reflected in his eyes. Why was he in pain?

My gaze found Adonis’s, who looked at me and then sighed. He picked up his phone and held it to his ear while it dialed.

Gabe sat down next to Lexi, who held his hand. Evan looked at Niya; he wanted her comfort. Niya looked conflicted, but I knew Evan needed

 

Niya.

So, I stood up and motioned for Evan to take my seat. He looked at me, grateful, as he took a seat next to Niya.

I looked at my mate, who was glaring a hole in the wall. The tension in the room was evident, but why I was still unsure about.

Adonis glanced at me and held out his hand for me. I took his hand, and he pulled he to his side, holding onto me for dear life.

It felt like hours when, in reality, it was minutes before someone answered. Adonis tightened his grip on me, and he asked a few questions to the person on the phone.

Suddenly his grip loosened, and he turned away from me.

“Are you telling me the truth? Go and look again.” Adonis was breathing fast.

The answer he got clearly pissed him off as he threw his phone at the wall, making all of us jump. The phone shattered into tiny pieces.

“Bastardo.” Adonis ran his hands through his hair.

I looked at Gabe and Evan, who both looked angry. What was going on?

“Fanculo, quel bastardo fuggi.” He paced the room. (Fuck, that bastard escaped.)

“Dimitri tends to talk in Italian when he is extremely pissed off,” Evan said.

Even though it was the wrong time, I couldn’t help but thinking how hot Adonis sounded when he spoke Italian.

“Your reaction tells us all we need to know.” Gabe shook his head.

“But how? How could this have happened?” Evan looked confused.

“What is going on? Who are you talking about?” I asked.

Adonis whipped his head around so fast I thought he would break his neck. He strode toward me and picked me up.

Knowing he was angry, I decided it was in everyone’s best interests if I didn’t move or piss him off even more. Adonis buried his face in my neck and took deep breaths.

 

“Non ti porterà via da me,” he muttered. (He won’t take you away from me.)

“I don’t know what you are saying, Adonis.” I sighed.

“How the fuck can this happen?” Adonis growled, lifting his head up and looking at everyone.

“We are just as confused as you.” Gabe shook his head in disbelief.

“I am still clueless over here,” I tried again.

SOT

Adonis paid me no attention as he placed me on his desk and stood between my legs so I was facing the opposite way to everyone else.

Fuck no, I wanted to know what was going on. I pushed Adonis away, jumped down from the desk, and made my way over to the other side.

Adonis let out a groan of frustration, while Evan and Gabe look amused.

“I know it’s the wrong time, but this is funny.” Evan smirked.

“I agree, your mate is headstrong like you, Dimitri.” Gabe laughed.

“Damn right I am. So, you will tell me what is going on.” I glared at Adonis.

“Don’t forget I am still angry with you,” I added.

“That is girl code for You better tell me what is going on if you want me to forgive you.’ I know that.” Evan looked pleased with himself.

“Oh yeah? How do you know that so well? You angered a lot of girls?” Niya raised her eyebrows.

“Huh? No, no! That’s not what I mean… I…well, I just.” Evan stumbled over his words.

It was clear Niya was just messing with Evan. Her eyes twinkled with mischief, but poor Evan was clueless.

Instead, the poor guy was struggling to find the words to explain to his mate what he meant.

“Evan, she was just messing with you.” I laughed.

Niya laughed. “Your reaction was the best.”

 

“You were just messing with me?” Evan looked dazed.

“Wow, my mate is a joker just like me.” Evan had a massive grin on his face.

“Yes, but she’s much better than you. She actually makes us laugh.” Gabe patted Evan on the shoulder.

We all laughed, but our little moment was short-lived as Luke stood up and banged his hand on the desk, causing a few of us to jump.

“*Enough. Now isn’t the right time to be laughing. We have serious problems to deal with, Aarya. You being mad at Adonis or being nosy isn’t helping. Some things aren’t meant for you to know.”

The room suddenly went silent, and I took a step back. I had never seen Luke so mad, and his words felt like a personal attack against me.

“You realize that you sound like a spoiled brat not getting what they want?” Luke shook his head at me.

His words cut deep and made me think, was I really acting like that?

“My mate, my queen will know everything, and if you don’t like that, then you can fuck off.” Adonis walked over to Evan, who let me go

Adonis nodded, and I sighed, “Gabe, get someone to clean this up.”

Adonis ignored Evan, and we all made our way to the second study. As soon as everyone was comfortable, Adonis cleared his throat.

“He was taken away and locked in a cell deep underground. None of us could kill him because we all loved him at one point. Adonis rang to check if he was still there, but he escaped. It confirmed our worst thoughts. He is out, and he is coming for us,” Evan finished off.

“I never gave him a title because I knew he was reckless, but I still cared for him like a brother. But one mistake of mine caused a lot of bloodshed.” Adonis shook his head.

“Keep your mates close; do not let them out of your sight,” he added.
