The Lycan's Queen novel Chapter 39

The Lycan’s Queen Book 2 – Chapter 1

Book Two

Damien Grey is nothing like his brother Adonis, wanting nothing to do with his royal lineage. But when Queen Aarya calls on him, he has no

choice

Little did he know that he would meet Elodie, his true mate and the love of his life. But she’s been tricked into thinking she already has a mate…can

they overcome the deceit, or will they be forced into a loveless life?

DAMIEN

“Damien?” a familiar voice called, breaking me out of my thoughts.

“Hmm,” I replied, looking up.

“Are you okay?” they asked.

I smiled. “Of course. Why?”

“Because you have that look on your face.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) It’s the same as your brother’s,” Aarya pointed out.

Aarya Grey, as she was now known, or the queen. My brother’s beloved mate, my new sister-in-law. But that sounded lame—she was my sister.

“Why are you so observant?” I sighed.

Aarya just shrugged and sat down next to me. “It comes with living with your brother. He used to keep a lot of things to himself.”

“Yeah, I don’t blame him,” I mumbled.

Aarya just laughed. “Are you going to tell me what is bothering you so much?”

“I don’t want to be here. I miss my old life in England,” I admitted.

 

“I don’t want to be here. I miss my old life in England,” I admitted.

Something about Aarya made me want to tell her.

“So, what’s stopping you? You know Adonis will never stop you from leaving if you really want to go,” Aarya told me.

“I know he won’t, but… but there is something that’s stopping me. I don’t know if it’s my duty to my brother or something else.” I groaned in frustration

“Maybe you’ve missed family love? Even if you won’t admit it to yourself, or maybe it’s because your mate is close by…” Aarya winked at the end

I scoffed. “Funny one.”

Aarya just shook her head and stood up.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)“Right, duty calls. Damien, I want you to remember that you’re not alone.”

I smiled. “I know, thanks Aarya.”

I watched as she left me alone with my thoughts. Aarya might not realize it but she has this aura about her. A powerful one.

She was definitely a force to be reckoned with and I loved the way she showed my brother his place.

Seeing Adonis happy after all this time was amazing

I am extremely happy for him, but a part of me is jealous.

Now both my siblings were happy with their mates, but not me. Again, I felt like the odd one out of my siblings.

It had only been four months since I came back here, and oh, how much my life had changed

I still remember getting that call that changed everything.

4 MONTHS AGO

It was just a normal day for me at the office.

Being a detective had its perks, one was that I could use my lycan senses,

 

which proved to be a major help. Another was I had a lot more freedom.

For once, I felt wanted and appreciated.

I was sitting at my desk doing the less glamorous side of my job.

Paperwork.

It was boring but it had to be done.

Just as I was almost finished, one of the men came in and called out my name.

“Phone call for you, Detective.”

“Me? Who is it?” I asked, confused. All the main people had my cell phone number

“She said she knows your brother?” He looked at me.

Someone who knows Adonis…

Is it Riley?

But she would just say she is my sister. My mind was blank when it came to who it could be, but nevertheless, I nodded to the guy.

He held up three fingers, indicating it was line 3.

Taking a deep breath, I pressed 3 and held the phone up to my ear.

“Detective Grey speaking, who is this?” I asked.

“Um… Is this Damien Grey?” a female questioned.

“Yes, may I ask who is calling?” My confusion increased.

I heard her breath a sigh of relief.

“Oh, thank God. I thought I had dialed the wrong number, how embarrassing! Oh, wait, sorry. My name is Aarya, and I’m your brother’s mate,” she replied.

Holy fuck, my brother has a mate?

About damn time too. I didn’t keep up with the affairs of royals, but I did keep up with my brother. A habit I could never break.

“My brother’s mate?” I was still in a daze.

Aarya laughed nervously. “Yep. That’s me. Look, he doesn’t know I’m calling, but Adonis could really use your support right now.

“I know it’s a lot to ask over the phone, but please come back. At least for a few weeks?”

Well, that was a shock. Hearing the wory in Aarya’s voice tugged at me. She clearly cared for Adonis a lot.

I sighed, “I don’t know…”

“Please! He really needs you. There are some nasty people who would love to see your brother’s head on a stake.” Aarya sounded upset.

I growled. Fucking council members always been slimy.

“Okay, fine. I’ll come.” I gave in.

Aarya sighed. “Thank you! I can’t wait to meet you!”

Only 11 a.m. and I already have a headache.

After all the years of working here, I had never taken a day off. Work kept me busy, and recently I needed the distraction as the emptiness in my heart grew bigger

Adonis, my big brother, my role model, needed me, and that was all I had to hear.

I guess now she is family too, and I am a firm believer in “family is everything.”

Just how I like it.

The seven-hour flight went by too quickly. Stepping off the plane, I let out a sigh and went through to collect my bags.

Home is home after all.
