Their Lycan Queen by Foxtail Chapter 4
Their Lycan Queen
Now everything became quiet and all the guys stare at Ben, wondering what he will do. Ben growls loudly and shifts into his lycan and takes off to the forest.
âWell he will have a hard time now, decidingâ Andrei say
âYeah but please tell the brats to pis s off so we can spend some time with Nora instead. I canât stand the sight of these idi ots any longer.â Linus says and points at Emily and the triplets.
Daniel growls even higher and all four girls get the hint as they run to the car and drive off. Daniel carries me inside still in his lycan form which is huge. But my fear dies out as he seems just as comfortable in this form as well. He walks past things without destroying them.
Daniel puts me down gently on the lounge before he wanders off and Linus comes and sits down next to me.
âHe will get dressed and then he will come backâ he says and I nod.
âWhere are the others?â I ask him.
âWell some are chasing Ben and the others are trying to find our lost friends. They were supposed to meet them this morning but they wanted to see that you were okay first.â Linus explains and I just look at him in shock.
âOh, okay. Can I ask why Ben reacted so strongly against Emily and the matebond? I thought it was really rare for you guys to find your mates?â I asked him as I was so confused by Benâs behavior.
âBenâs little sister was also bullied and she died when she was gangraped by a pack of rogues. She was tricked by a couple of females in our packâ Daniel explains while he walks inside.
I stare at him in horror. What is wrong with people?
âYou remind Ben of his little sister but not because of your appearance, you donât look alike but your personalities are really similar and she was also a bit weirdâ Linus says and Daniel chuckles.
Daniel takes the seat on my other side and puts his arms on my/shoulders. I take a deep breath and smell his scent and let it comfort me.
âAndrei and Ben told me that you have been thinking of bringing me to the lycan kingdom and taking me as your chosen mateâ I say and look at Daniel.
âDid they say that? Tra itors.â Daniel muttered and blushed slightly.
Linus chuckled.
âIt isnât so bad actually and you wonât di e because the bond will be artificialâ
âArtificial?â I ask and look at Linus in confusion.
âYeah, with a witches helpâ Linus winks at me and earns a
growl from Daniel.
Well it is tempting but I donât know if I want to live another life with Emily again, sigh.
âLetâs not talk about this right now. Letâs take a swim insteadâ Daniel say and pulls me up in his arms
âBut I didnât bring a swimsuitâ I protested and tried to get down and Daniel just smiled at me.
Linus laughed and followed us outside and I really tried my hardest to get down from Danielâs arms when I suddenly was airborne and then I hit the water. I will ki ll him.
I force my b*dy to relax and I sink to the bottom of the pool and lay still. I could hear Daniel and Linus shouting my name but I didnât move at all, I even closed my eyes and relied on my senses and my wolf.
Both guys dived into the pool but Linus reached me first as he grabbed my head and forced it up, probably to look in my eyes. Daniel grabbed my arm and turned me over and I let him when I felt Linus touch my l*ps with his thumb | opened my eyes.
Linus screamed underwater although only bubbles came out but he didnât move away fast enough as I headbutted him hard enough to draw blood. I started to spin my b*dy around and flung Daniel into Linusâ b*dy and they crashed into the wall. They tried to untangle themselves from each other and I swam up to the surface in the meantime.
As I broke the water surface and took a deep breath I was lifted by a pair of strong hands, Ben.
âImpressive water dance. Are you perhaps a mermaid?â Ben chuckled.
âYeah, almost, I have always been really good at holding my breathâ I some water
say and shake my head and splash
onto Ben that is blushing real hard.
âYour tank top made your skin visibleâ Linus said as he climbed out of the pool. I looked down on myself and noticed he was indeed right.
âI will go get you a shirt,â Daniel said while Ben turned around.
âHe will probably get one of his own to drench you in his scent. By the way, Nora, what is that scar on your back?â Linus said and I frowned but touched my shoulder.
âOh, that. Well I told you guys that I am one of the top warriors in this pack and one day on training I encountered rogues and a lot of battle happened. Then someone slashed a silver knife down my back and I was put in a coma for roughly a week to be able to heal myselfâ I explain and look away just as Daniel comes back with a black shirt in his hand.
Linus was right, the shirt had Danielâs smell on it and I chuckled at the thought. All three guys had turned away from me now so I could change my tank top. Cute.
âBen? If you donât mind that I ask but what are you going to do now? With Emily I mean.â I ask him when I have finished changing and Ben looks back at me.
âI donât know. We donât get a second chance mate like regular werewolves do but neither me nor my lycan likes her. She is mean and superficial.â Ben growled and looked
away with a sad expression.
âYou know, Emily hasnât always been this mean. When we were younger, we were best friends but I think that the pressure from our school friends and her dad turned her into a mean bi tch.â I explain and now all three guys stare at
âDonât defend her, Nora. she isnât worth it, our lycans can sense when someone is rotten and Emily is rotten to the core. She will never change.â Daniel growls low and Linus nods his head.
âSo how about we go inside instead and play something? Forget about the boring stuff for a while. I know they have some cool stuff inside that I want to try atleast once.â I say and all three guys agree with me. I push away the thoughts that invade my mind. If their lycans can sense that about Emily, then what do they sense about me? Sigh.
The rest of the day was absolutely one of my best. We played a lot of games, the xbox is my favorite so far although I always lost but it was so much fun to play with others. Then we laughed a lot so my stomach started to hurt but we cried even worse when Linus brought food that he cooked.
The other guys came and joined us two and I finally got to meet two of their lost friends, Fred and Nick. They complained about the food so offered and made enough sandwiches to feed half of the pack. I was highly praised by the guys and Daniel was busy growling at all the guys when they touched me. We all laughed at him and he blushed as he couldnât control his lycans possessiveness.
âHey Nora. I know this isnât my place but the time has really flown away and shouldnât you do some girly stuff before the ball?â Grey asked me and I gasped in horror. I had put up a me ntal block on the mindlink, not wanting anyone to disturb my fun time.
And as I drop the block, I also drop to the floor clutching my head as my momâs loud voice is ringing through it.
*NORA! Where in the world are you? Young lady come home this instant or you will regret it*
I whimpered at her voice and answered. *Yes, mom
Once the ringing stopped I opened my eyes and looked up into Danielâs gray eyes. He had catched me before I crashed onto the floor. I noticed that all of the guys looked concerned for me.
âIâm okay but I should get home or my mom will ki ll me. I will see you guys tonight? At the packhouse?â I say and give them a small smile.
âYeah we will see you later. Can we meet by the forestline?â Linus asks and all guys relax as I smile and nod.
I practically ran home and to say that my mom was pi ssed off was an understatement.
âYou go take a shower and shave, we donât have much time to get you ready for tonight. Only 45 minutes. Hurry!â my mom said and looked on the verge of a breakdown.
It was my absolutely fastest shower and shaving in my entire life. My mom was satisfied and started with my hair
by curling it. Then she tried to do the makeup and after a bit of arguing that I won, she didnât put so much on my face. Some eyeshadow and l*pgloss.
Then she showed me the dress, it was stunning. A deep emerald color, one shoulder and the skirt flared a bit but stopped around my knees. Mom put my hair onto the shoulder that was bare and covered my scar elegantly and also made sure my scent could be smelled by ease.
My mom took a pair of flats out that were decorated by green rhinestones.
âCome, letâs show your dadâ mom said and I nodded my head with a bright smile. Even I think that I am beautiful.
âYou are so beautiful, my baby girl. But you really need to go now or you will be lateâ dad said and hugged me.
As I walked down the stairs and out of the packhouse I was ambushed by Emily and the triplets. They kicked me behind the knees and I fell down in the dirt. When I tried to get up Emily growled and took out a knife. The triplets held me down while Emily cut my dress into nothing, she even cut my skin so I bled all over it.
I trashed against them but I was tired and slow in my movements, the knife, it must be silver plated.
âThis is your own fault. You little slut. That lycan is my mate and you will not be in my way, do you understandâ Emily growled and stomped down her shoe in my face before kicking me in my stomach.
Emily and the triplets walked away laughing, they left me there bleeding and crying. My dress was destroyed. I cried more as I once again showed them that they could trample all over me and I couldnât even defend myself. Weak and useless.
A low growl came from the forestline. I had forgotten about the guys, they couldnât see me like this but as I tried to move Daniel was crouching beside me. He wiped away my tears.
âI have decided now. I am going to reject her.â Ben growled and I didnât say anything. I noticed all the other guys coming out too. They either gasped or growled when they
Sw me.
Linus came over and put his jacket on me to cover me and I nodded weakly at him.
âTake her back to the mansion and heal herâ Ben said and I
felt Daniel as he lifted me up in his arms.
I put my face in his n*eck and cried in silence.
âEverything will be okay Nora. Let us deal with this.â Linus said and Daniel started running.
As we came up to the mansion my wolf woke up and sniffed around. Something smelled nice but I couldnât put my finger on it.
A new face greeted us and Daniel told me it was Tristan. and I nodded and mumbled a hello. Tristan took the jacket away from me and his eyes flickered black as his lycan
looked out.
âI will fetch the balmâ Tristan said while Daniel put me
slowly and gently down onto the lounge. I took off my torn dress and looked down on my wounds just as Daniel
growled low at them.
Tristan came back with the balm and gasped when he saw me, both him and Daniel helped rub on the balm and made the wounds close themselves.
âWell you canât wear this dress anymore, pity because it was very pretty. But you know I actually have a dress with me and I think it would fit you perfectly, miss Nora.â Tristan said and I turned to look at him and shook my head slowly
at him.
âDonât bother, I am not going there anymore.â I say and Tristan looked at Daniel.
âYes you are. Because I want to have your first dance you know.â Daniel says and lifts my chin so I look directly in his
eyes.
âYou should go, miss Nora. To show them that you are not
are.â easily broken down. Show them how strong you
Tristan encouraged me.
âThank you. Yes I should go but I donât have another dress and my hair and my makeup is destroyed so itâs not any use for me to go thereâ I say and stare at my hands.
Tristan takes one of my hands and k*sses it slowly, earning a growl from Daniel.
âI have everything you need so come with me and I will make you shine like the star that you are, miss Noraâ
I giggle at him, he really is nice. I follow him to his room where he shows me the dress and helps me with my make up and my hair and then helps me with the lacing on the dress. When we are finally done Tristan helps me down the stairs where we meet Daniel and he smiles.
When we made our entrance at the ball everyone went quiet and the whispers were louder than I thought.
âWho is that?â
âAre they lycans?â
âAre
âIsnât that Nora?â
âIs she mated to both of them?
âLucky herâ
And so on.
âNora, may I have your first dance now?â Daniel asks and I accept.
We take place on the dancefloor and we start to dance. Itâs a very calm and slow dance and I can hide from everyone that stares at me. Daniel chuckles at me and I turn my face -up to him and he bends his head down to me and places a
soft and gentle k*ss on my l*ps.
A roar is heard and Daniel is ripped away from me by a man that smells divine. The strange man growls one word that
makes me freeze along with everyone else here.
âMine!â
