Unwanted Mate Of The Lycan Kings (by jessica hall) novel Chapter 26

“You’ll do what?” King Theron asks, though his smile grows wider.

“Free them, I accept... I‘ll marry one of your sons!” I tell him.

“You accept?” the King questions.

“She said she did now let the underage girls go, father!” King Regan orders. He pays his son no mind, and King Regan stomps across the stage, stopping at the steps.

“Free them!”

“No! Zirah here doesn’t get to keep changing her mind, she chose this.” the king states, his eyes on me. Lyon shakes his head and steps forward.

“No, father, these are girls, children!. I am not that kind of fucking monster. Regan is right, she agreed. So let them go!” King Theron looks at Lyon and then Zeke. Zeke shrugs, uncaring, and I grit my teeth, turning my gaze to him.

“They’ll all die anyway, so what does it matter?” Zeke says, and King Theron smiles.

King Lyon and Regan shoot an angry look at Zeke. “Lead them to the maze. Zirah, come collect your payment and freedom.”

“No! I agreed to marry one of your despicable sons. Now let them go!” I yell at the King.

“You were given a time limit.”

“Fuck your time limit!” I sneer and I hear the collective gasp echo around the town square. Hear the whispers about me disrespecting the King. King Theron chuckles waving them off while his eyes flash dangerously as if I challenged him.

“This is exactly why you would make an excellent Queen. You bow to no one, but you will bow to me! And my word is final. Your opinion is no longer worthy and seems I am at a tie with my sons. Zeke doesn’t care, and neither did you five minutes ago about these women.” King Theron says.

My eyes go to Zeke and I clench my jaw, knowing all he had to do was agree with his brothers to let the women go, to fucking accept me in their place. The King watches me with a wicked grin and I don’t like the game he is playing, and he is playing a game, he’s baiting me.

I tap my leg, calling Hunter to follow, and march toward the stairs. Grabbing the girl on the steps arm, I yank her back and climb the stairs before marching across the stage toward Zeke. He smiles deviously, and I notice King Regan and King Lyon watching me and their brother.

I look at King Theron. “Zeke agrees with Regan and Lyon,” I tell the King and Zeke scoffs.

“Hunter!” I call, and Zeke unfolds his arms. “Agree and I’ll give him back,”

“Oh you’ll give him back!” Zeke threatens.

“Good luck taking him from me Zeke!” I retort.

Murmurs break out from the crowd and the Kingdoms staff at my casual reference to their names.

King Theron laughs. “Your answer Zeke, do you accept Zirah as your possible Queen?” Zeke growls menacingly.

“Take the deal, Zeke,” I tell him, and he grabs my throat. Time seems to stop and I notice King Regan, out of the corner of my eye, take a step forward.
