The Lycan's Queen novel Chapter 7

The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 7 

Aarya

I quickly ripped my gaze away from Hunter‘s. I didn‘t like the way he was looking at me one bit. 

I had a mate now. And so did he. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

So why is he looking at me like that? 

And what would Adonis do if he saw it? 

I tried to pretend like I didn‘t notice him and turned to where Adonis had been standing a minute earlier. 

But he wasn‘t there. 

Huh? Where is he? 

I scanned the crowd, but Adonis was nowhere to be seen. I could still feel Hunter‘s gaze lingering on me as I started to look for Adonis. 

As I passed people, all of them were saying “congratulations” and “I am so glad our king found his mate.” 

The fake smile I put on was hurting my jaw. Even though there was nothing wrong with these people, all I wanted to do was find Adonis. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

I finally got to the end of the giant room and found a glass door leading out of the palace. 

It was completely dark outside, but when I peered out I saw the unmistakable hulking outline of Adonis standing on the balcony. 

What is he doing out there? 

I pushed the door open, about to call out to him, when suddenly I heard a female voice in the darkness. 

“How could you do this to me?” she said. 

I turned to see Savanah standing by him, with tears rolling down her face. 

“You embarrassed me in front of everyone, Dimitri,” Savanah said, wiping her tears away. 

Wow, I must be a robot or something. Not even a small part of me felt sorry for this woman. I mean, she was embarrassed, but I didn‘t feel anything, maybe a bit of anger, but that was it. 

I forgot that Adonis was very particular about who called him what. It was clear Savanah wasn‘t allowed to call him Adonis. For some weird reason, I felt proud 

I must be going crazy. That was the only logical explanation. 

Rolling my eyes, I quickly turned to go .He could deal with this on his own 

But I didn‘t get the chance to leave. In a flash, Adonis had turned and held me captive in his arms. The feeling of him holding me was unlike anything I had felt before. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

“Aarya, don‘t you even think about going anywhere,” Adonis whispered in my ear. He looked to Savanah. “Please, just leave. 

“Adonis, I have better things to do than listen to your lovers‘ spat,” I retorted as I tried to escape his hold, even though I didn‘t want to. 

“Adonis? Why are you calling him that? Savanah looked appalled. 

“She can. Savanah, if you don‘t leave, then I will get guards to escort you out.” Adonis now had his serious tone back on. 

Savanah looked at the both of us back and forth before finally leaving 

“Can you now let me go?” I asked. 

“I never thought I would find you; I almost gave up.” Adonis said softly. 

I looked at the sincerity in his eyes and nearly melted. 

This would have been the perfect time to say something romantic, but this is me we are talking about, so instead, I blurted out, Well I never wanted a mate after getting my heart broken.” 

Adonis‘s demeanor changed as he held me tighter. His stance became different; he was definitely angry. 

“Who the hell had your heart before me?‘‘ he growled. 

Well then, this wasn‘t going to be easy to get out of.  

“You can‘t be telling me that no one has ever broken your heart before?” I asked, shocked 

“This isn‘t about me; this is about you. You‘re the one who said it.” Adonis tightened his grip. 

Damn it, this was going to be harder than I thought. Again, I tried to wriggle out of his grip but failed. 

“Can‘t we talk about this later?” I tried to negotiate. 

Adonis looked at me like I was crazy. “I want to know now. Who was it that had your heart before me?” 

I didn‘t want to answer that. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

The scary look in Adonis‘s eyes told me that Hunter would be in deep trouble if he ever found out. 

Even though Hunter was the one who had broken my heart, it‘s not like I wanted something bad to happen to him. 

“Who was it?” Adonis growled. 

Suddenly, the door opened and my mom poked her head through the door. “There you are! Everyone‘s been looking for you two! It‘s time for the royal dance!” 

I let out a sigh or relief. Daily Latest udate www.Noveljar.com

There was no way I could keep secrets from a man like that for long. 

Adonis‘s eyes softened, and he loosened the grip he had on me. 

I breathed a sigh of relief that I had managed to get out of this situation. Adonis looked at me with his eyebrows raised. 

“Don‘t think I will forget about this. Once I sort this issue out, I will find out who broke your heart.” 

The sincerity in his voice caused sparks to shoot down my spine and made me shiver. Adonis took my hand, and we made our way back downstairs, where everyone was waiting for us. 

Damn, it felt weird to be stared at. I flushed, uncomfortable with all the attention  

I had to get used to this queen thing.
