The Lycan's Queen

Chapter 18

The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 18

The black soulless eyes glared at me as I took a deep breath and closed the door.

In front of me, Adonis stood, wrapped in chains and breathing heavily Except this wasn’t Adonis; his

lycan was very much in controll Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Having an angry mate is one thing, but having an angry mate who is a lycan is a completely different

ballpark

Adonis would never hurt me. I knew that, but his lycan has never been introduced to me, and that

scared me.

Adonis struggled against the chains. The sound of them made me cringe. I 1 couldn’t believe how

many there were, but looking at Adonis, it wasn’t a shocker as to why

I knew I had to remain calm and take it slow. This wasn’t the Adonis I knew.

“Adonis,” I said

His eyes narrowed as I took a step closer. Immediately he started sniffing the air, and again those black

eyes connected with mine.

“Mate,” Adonis’s lycan said, his deep voice making my heart beat even faster.

Should I say something else? My brain was still making up its mind, but that was too slow for his lycan.

I jumped back in shock when Adonis moved forward, but the chains pulled him back, causing him to let

out another growl.

“Mate. Must get to mate.” Adonis was struggling against the chains.

My eyes found the places where the chains were digging into his skin, causing him to bleed as he was

pulling on the chains so hard.

“Stop,” I said. I had to do something, I couldn’t see Adonis cause himself pain.

Thankfully he stopped. He looked at me in question, and I sighed.

“Please, don’t pull on the chains. I need to see Adonis.”

He growled again, clearly not happy with what I said, but I tried again.

“Please,” I begged.

His resolve broke as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. This time my eyes connected with

Adonis’s hazel eyes. The same eyes I realized that I had missed

Even though it hadn’t been that long, I missed his eyes.

“Adonis.” I smiled.

This time I closed my eyes as I heard his familiar voice reply, “Aarya.”

Hearing his voice made me breathe a sigh of relief. I opened my eyes again and the smile got bigger.

“You’re okay,” he breathed out.

“Yes, perfectly fine. You would know that if you hadn’t gone all psycho on that poor doctor. I wanted to

see your face when I opened my eyes, but I saw a nurse’s face instead.” I rolled my eyes.

Adonis looked down at the floor. “I’m sorry, little one. When you collapsed in my arms, my lycan

couldn’t handle it. We only just got you; we couldn’t lose you.”

“And you won’t, but you and your lycan need some serious anger management classes,” I told him.

“I’d do anything for you, but right now I just want to feel you in my arms again. However, that is a bit

hard for me right now.” Adonis rattled the chains.

“Oh, right. How do I get these off?” I looked around for a key.

“In the corner, middle shelf, the keys are there,” Adonis replied.

Let me tell you something, removing all these chains was hard work. Especially because the chains

were all tangled together, and Adonis was being impatient.

I swear, I wanted to lock him back up in the chains. Every time I got one chain off, he wanted to touch

me. I had to keep swatting his hands away.

Once I got all the chains off him, he wasted no time in picking me up in

his arms. I squealed and wrapped my legs around his waist.

Adonis buried his face in my neck and breathed in. “Your scent always manages to calm me down.”

“Hmm…” I wasn’t really paying attention as I was enjoying being in his warm embrace.

“Wait, you’re hurt. I saw the chains digging into you. Adonis put me down.” I struggled in his arms.

Adonis’s reply was to hold me tighter. “I do not care. I want you in my arms. Just this once, please don’t

argue,”

How could I argue with that? His words sent that warm feeling down my spine, and I snuggled into his

embrace.

“Did you know I am a lycan now,” I mumbled.

“Yes, I can sense it, little one.” Adonis chuckled.

My response was to bury my face in Adonis’s neck as he carried me up the stairs. Him holding me felt

so normal, and I loved it.

“Dimitri, you’re…,” Gabe trailed off.

“Busy,” Adonis said, walking away.

“Yeah, very busy with your mate. She didn’t even save you from killing that doctor, but of course you

wouldn’t care,” Evan muttered under his breath.

“I can hear you,” I told him.

“What… how?” Evan spluttered

“Idiot, she’s a lycan now.” Gabe hit him on the head.

“Oh shit. Better be careful with what I say,” Evan said, causing Lexi to laugh and Adonis to sigh.

I couldn’t help but smile: Evan was such a character.

“Evan, she helped me become a better person, and that’s more than you have done,” Adonis replied,

smirking at Evan’s face.

Evan being Evan, he didn’t let that get to him as he yelled, “We will make sure no one disturbs you two

love birds.

“I’m going to kill him,” Adonis mumbled.

“As if. He is your best friend,” I said laughing.

Adonis didn’t say anything else as he made his way to our room.

Guards bowed as Adonis walked past them. I still wasn’t used to that. He opened the door, and I

reluctantly detached myself from him.

“You don’t know how worried I was,” Adonis said, sitting down on the bed

“Well if you being locked up wasn’t a big enough sign that you missed me, then you not being by my

side when I woke up was the next sign,” I

replied, sitting down next to him.

“I’m so sorry. My lycan, he just took over when you collapsed in my arms. It happened so suddenly.”

Adonis sighed.

“Well, I was serious when I said that you both need some anger management classes.” I attempted to

lighten the mood.

Adonis’s mouth curved up in a smile. “You always know what to say.”

“It’s a talent of mine.” I winked.

“You’re feeling okay, right? Please tell me you were discharged before you came to get me.” Adonis

jumped up, and his eyes ran over my body as if he suddenly remembered I was in the hospital.

“I am fine, and who needs to get discharged anyway? I felt fine, so I left, and I came to get you.

Honestly no one could have stopped me. Plus, what about you? Those chains digging into your skin.” I

shuddered.

Adonis ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “You didn’t even let the doctor know? You just

walked out? That’s so careless. And I am fine, I will heal. It’s you that I am worried about.”

“No. Jane, the doctor, was there when I left. If it was serious, she would have tried to stop me. Well,

you’re worried about me, and I am worried about you.” I rolled my eyes.

“But still, you should be resting. Don’t worry about me, little one, I heal very fast.” Adonis looked

concerned.

“Adonis, I am fine. There is nothing wrong with me.” I stood up and turned around as if to say “see” and

made a mental note that lycans heal fast.

Adonis sighed and replied, “Fine, it’s clear I am not going to win this battle.”

“Yes, and I’m a lycan now and heal superfast,” I said, using his own words against him

“You’re a lycan now,” Adonis repeated.

“Yes, I just said that.” I looked at him, confused.

Adonis suddenly had a massive smirk on his face.

“Do you know what this means?”

“No but clearly you do,” I replied.

“You being a lycan means amazing lycan…” Adonis didn’t get to finish his sentence because someone

knocked on the door.

Of course he growled, but I elbowed him in the side. He so needed to learn to control his anger.

“Look, I know I promised to not let anyone disturb you two love birds, but I think this in an exception,”

Evan’s voice flowed through.

Adonis looked unimpressed, so I told him, “Stop thinking with your dick for once.”

Adonis smirked and replied, “If I was thinking with my dick, then you’d be on this bed naked, and I’d be

doing things to you that you can’t even

imagine.”

Well fuck. That one sentence of his caused sparks to shoot down my core. Before anything could

happen, I quickly got up and made my way to the door

“Evan. This better be important,” Adonis called out.

I opened the door and gasped.

“Niya!”
