Unwanted Mate Of The Lycan Kings (by jessica hall) novel Chapter 103

~Zirah~

Climbing into the limo with my wolves, Zeke slides across the seat beside me. The driver starts the car, and we are off. The morning light bathes everything in a soft glow, signaling the start of another day.

"What were you and Lyon talking about?" I finally break the silence. Zeke is quick to brush it off. "Just work stuff."

"I don't understand why you invited him to your kingdom...you were the one that insisted everyone got time alone with me?" I voice out my confusion. His answer, however, leaves me with more questions than answers.

"Lyon is different. He's my twin," he says as if that explains everything. "So it's Regan you don't want in your Kingdom?" I ask, not able to suppress my curiosity.

"You've marked Lyon, and he has marked you. He's officially your mate. I won't force you to go without him," Zeke tells me, his tone strangely soft.

"I've marked Regan, too," I reply, my heart pounding in my chest.

He looks away, staring out the window. "He hasn't marked you yet," he says, his voice just above a whisper.

"And Regan is off—"

"With Malachi and James visiting the Vampire King, as I said," he interrupts, his tone final.

"Why couldn't your father go?" I ask, hoping to get more answers.

Zeke clenches his jaw, a clear sign of his growing frustration. "Regan lied about his kingdom being the furthest... I want to know why...." I tell him, looking straight into his eyes. His gaze hardens.

"You'll have to ask him, Zirah. I am not getting caught up in your relationship with him," he answers, his voice cold.

"But you will with Lyon?" I ask, the question hanging heavy in the air.

"As I said, Lyon is my twin. He's different. We have an understanding," he repeats, leaving me to wonder about the hidden depths of their relationship.

I don't believe him. There's something they're not telling me.

I can feel it. The question is, what are they hiding? And why?

"Stop the car," I say abruptly, my voice echoing in the silent limo. Zeke looks at me as if I've lost my mind.

"We're on the highway; there's nowhere to stop," he retorts. But I'm not backing down.

"Turn the car around. Take me to Regan's kingdom." I tell him, determination firm in my voice.

He hesitates, then sighs heavily. "You'll see Regan in a few days."

That's when I know. They're hiding something. And I'm going to find out what it is.

"Stop the car!" Zeke curses under his breath, and I see the driver glance in the rearview mirror. Zeke shakes his head, telling him to continue.

My palms glow, a soft, luminescent light radiating from my skin. I thrust my hands forward, the glow intensifying as I mutter, "Haltus Movus!"
