Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 17



Chapter 17

I gasped as I released the king’s head and slid down onto the floor. In my head echoed the curse and I felt their pain, all of their pain. I

screamed in agony as I heard all of their screams in my head. Helios panicked and tried to grab me but his touch burned me and I screamed even louder.

I noticed Daniel moving but it was the king that caught me first.

“Rest now, Nora. Rest.” And my eyes closed as I welcomed the darkness.

At first it was only darkness but then I saw it, the light. As I moved towards it I could hear soft laughter, and the sound of water. I shielded my eyes as the light was too bright at first. I blinked my eyes before I could look properly and at first I couldn’t understand what it was that I

was seeing.

Mermaids? No wait. Women in the water, laughing and having fun as they splashed the water around them but as I tried to get closer they stopped laughing and I stopped as well. I raised my hand and waved at them but they all bowed at me and I turned around just to see shadows.

Shadows came out from behind me with no faces gathering beside me and if I took a step so did they. I wonder what would happen if I touched the water, would they go away then? I slowly walk towards the water and when my toe touches it the shadows all vanish, all of them but one. I tried walking further out to the water but it still followed me and as I turned to look at it, I stumbled at something and I fell down in the water.

My eyes opened as I heard someone calling my name in the water.

“Nora” a very soothing voice came from all directions and I wanted to stay there so I could listen to it some more.

The shadow touched me and when I saw the shape of it a scream slipped out of me and I almost choked but I took myself to the surface. I gasped as I tried to breathe normally and I felt a lot of hands on me that I tried to shake off.

“Stop. Don’t worry we are here to help you” a female voice said and I turned around and saw a woman. She has warm brown eyes and her smile is a welcoming sight right now.

I nod and she and two other women are helping me ashore.

“What happened when I went under the water?” I ask and brush my very wet hair with my very sandy hands, sighing as I realize I just made a mess out of it.

“Sirens”

“Yeah it’a a common fact that if you wander to far out, the Sirens call will wash you away”

“So my dear girl, tell us why did you try to kill yourself?” the woman with brown eyes asked.

“It wasn’t my intention but I needed to get the shadow away from me. I thought it didn’t like water so I walked there and then I slipped on a rock I think and then I went underwater. And of course the rest you three know already” I explain and blush slightly.

“Well you are lucky to figure it out so fast that the shadows dislike water but you know. Your own shadow will follow you wherever you go”

I look down at my feet and I do notice that the shadow is stuck there and it follows my movements. I blush when the logic hits me.

“Okay, I admit I was a bit frightened but can anyone please tell me where I am?” I ask them and they laugh a bit at my silly question.

“Come and take a walk with us. You have done a great job with saving some of the lycans but now you need to rest and only one of royal blood can send you here”

“Well, the king sent me here after I saw how the curse was created and all the female lycans died” I say sadly This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Oh my, have you already saved the king’s lycan, then you definitely need to rest, come and you will have the chance to speak with the queen herself” the brown haired woman said.

I followed them away from the water and through a little forest where the shadows moved through the trees. I glared at them but I could only see their completely white eyes. Somehow I knew what they were but I really hoped that it wasn’t so.

We walked on a path with little lanterns that lit up our path away, if we stayed on the path the shadows didn’t come near but I could have sworn that I heard my name through the bushes. Like they were calling for me, wanting me to come closer and in a weak moment I almost stepped away from the path but the other women took a hold of me and shook their heads.

The brown haired woman took a hold of my hand and guided me away from whatever that called out to me.

When we left the forest it was bright outside and I had to squint

because of the bright light. When my eyes adjusted, I noticed how blue the sky was and the smell of wild flowers throughout the air. I look down and notice an entire field of pink and purple flowers.

“Welcome Nora.” a voice said and I could have sworn that I have heard

it before.

Queen Adina stood there in the midst of pink flowers with a little girl in her arms that were a copy of her brothers, the very sight took my breath away. I bowed my head in respect for the former queen, Helios and Ares’ mother.

“Queen Adina, but how, I don’t understand…” I tried to make sense of everything but no, after how much my thoughts rumbled inside of my head I couldn’t understand.

“Please don’t try to understand everything at once. It’s too much at once and besides you will visit here more times. So is there something specific you want to know right now?” Queen Adina asks and smiles sadly.

“Yes there is one thing I want to know. Why did you break the matebond with your other mate?” I ask and Queen Adina looks even more sad.

“Oh that. Yes I broke the bond but not really out of my own will. I made myself a promise and that promise also destroyed me. I know that you have seen my husband’s side of the story. Now let me tell you mine”
