The Lycan's Queen

Chapter 42

The Lycan’s Queen Book 2 – Chapter 4

DAMIEN

I knew something was up when I entered this pack’s land. My lycan was on edge, which made me on

edge.

That voice, I couldn’t get over that voice I heard.

As soon as that alpha hung up, I threw the phone across the room and clutched the edge of the desk.

It took everything to calm down and not lose control. I never had any issues with my lycan before this.

A part of me wanted to ask Adonis, but I decided against it; he was busy, and I was a grown man.

I could deal with this.

Once I was sure that my lycan was under control, I turned to the alpha.

“Sorry about your phone.”

“Don’t apologize, he gets on everyone’s nerves.” The alpha shook his head.

I nodded. “Let’s go.”

I was going to try and persuade my guards to stay here, but I knew better. (This novel will be daily

along

It didn’t take long for us to get ready and leave.

I took this opportunity to walk across the unclaimed land. To me, it still seemed as though it was closer

to this pack, but I still wanted to go to the other pack

Luckily, no one said anything as we entered the other pack’s territory. People bowed to me as I walked

past.

Normally, I would have scowled because I hate it when people do that, but this time my mind was

distracted.

Subconsciously, I found myself looking up at a single window. My heart ached and I was clueless as to

why.

Tearing my gaze away from that single window proved to be more difficult than I anticipated, but I

forced myself to look away.

My gaze connected with a man standing outside, who I presumed to be the

alpha. Already, my lycan was on edge.

V

Something about this man didn’t sit right with me or my lycan. His smirk, that arrogant look, and the

way he looked at me. Like he wasn’t afraid.

My gaze focused on the alpha, who immediately stood up straighter and cleared his throat before

addressing me.

“Your Majesty, it is an honor to have you here,” he said. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Yes, I assume the way you hung up the phone meant you were nervous.” I glared.

He coughed, clearly caught by surprise, “This is my beta, Jordon.”

Clever. He had changed the topic.

Again, I found myself looking at this bastard, who made me angry for an unknown reason.

“So, an issue of unclaimed land has brought royalty to our pack?” Jordon asked.

“The violence that has come with the issue of the unclaimed land is the main reason I am here. Solving

the issue will stop the violence, or so the king thinks,” I replied.

“So, the king sends his runaway brother and doesn’t come himself. Interesting.(This novel will be daily

His pack members tensed, and his own alpha elbowed him, but he seemed not to care.

“You will do well to remember who I am, pup. I might have run, but I am here now, and I am still the

prince. Show me respect or mv lvcan will

force it out of you.”

I grit my teeth together.

My security tensed beside me, ready to eliminate the threat.

“He means no harm. Please come inside.” The alpha tried to defuse the tension and invited us in.

We gathered round what I assumed was their pack communal area.

“I want to say that this issue could have been resolved peacefully, without involving the royals,” the

alpha stated.

Behind me, the other alpha scoffed, Please, spare me the rubbish. We have tried, you have responded

with violence.”

I found my gaze on the alpha, who kept looking left and right as if he was afraid of something

Jordon looked calm and collected, but his alpha’s eyes led me to believe that something sketchy was

going on here.

My mind shifted to that voice I heard on the phone. The cries and pleas made my blood boil as

realization set in.

Someone was being abused in this pack. My tolerance for abuse was zero; there was no excuse.

Working as a detective back in England, I saw my fair share of murders due to sexual or physical

abuse. Suicides because of verbal abuse.

Any sort of abuse in my book was a big fat no.

Not just me-Adonis had no tolerance for it either. Neither would Aarya, and something told me that she

would have guessed the same thing as I did if she were here.

It seemed like not everyone realized how obvious certain gestures were

“It’s one alpha’s words against another’s. How do I figure out who is being truthful?” I directed my

question to the alpha, who looked terrified.

“I… I don’t know,” he stuttered.

“You see, one thing that me and my brother have in common is we can sense when someone is lying

to us.” I sighed.

The alpha tensed.

“Something else is going on here, and I will figure it out. Don’t pretend like you don’t know what I heard

at the end of our phone call.”

This time my gaze focused on Jordon, who tensed.

Bingo. I have my answer.

The alpha cleared his throat before answering, “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

This time, my lycan threatened to rise and show this alpha who he was lying to, but I kept my cool.

I stalked toward him, glaring down at him.

“I hate liars.”

He swallowed a lump in his throat before his beta butted in.

“Look, you can’t be intimidating my alpha.”

“Jordon, is it? What I heard at the end of the phone call suddenly had you tense too. (This novel will be

daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I wonder what secrets are hiding in this pack.

“Let me make this crystal clear: I will not leave here until I figure it out.” My gaze locked onto Jordon’s.

“You don’t scare me,” he scoffed.

I turned my attention back to the alpha. “Anything you want to tell me?”

Again, he shook his head.

“I hate liars,” I yelled in his face, causing him to close his eyes.

Pathetic. If you were going to lie to me, then at least act strong

It was then that I heard it. It was faint, but my ears immediately picked up on it.

A faint whimper.

My gaze shot up and looked around until I saw a blur of hair run out of sight. Jordon’s growl broke out

as he clenched his fists in anger.

Suddenly, it was like I was moving on autopilot. I couldn’t stop my legs from running up the stairs after

that blur.

“NO! Come back! This is trespassing!” Jordon yelled after me.

Growling, I turned around. Enough was enough.

“Don’t you dare let him go,” I said to my guards, who immediately took a hold of both the alpha and

beta.

My voice became lower as my lycan lost some control. Everyone stood

there silent, watching me.

Jordon yelled and thrashed around. It only fuelled my suspicions more.

DI

“Your Majesty, please let one of us come with you,” the other alpha suggested

“No. Stay here,” I instructed as I rushed off to find that blur.

My lycan knew exactly where to go. It was like he had been here before. I know for a fact we hadn’t.

I came to a stop outside a door. My hand went up to knock, but I decided against it

My heart was racing, I needed to know who that blur was, and I needed to know now.

Without wasting another second, I pushed open the door with a little more force than I expected

It swung open, and that same whimper made my blood run cold.

“No, please. Jordon, I’m sorry, please don’t hurt me.”

My legs collapsed as I fell to my knees.

Two beautiful jade-colored eyes stared up at me, sparkling with tears.

“Please don’t hurt me,” she whispered.

“Never,” I said, my lycan going wild with the need to comfort and protect this woman.

The magnetic force I could feel pulling me toward her couldn’t be denied.

“You’re my mate,” I whispered.

And my world crashed around me.
