Chapter 26

The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 26 “And again. Hit harder,” Adonis shouted at me.

Sweat was dripping down my forehead as I sighed and hit the punching bag again. You might be wondering what was going on; so was I.

Adonis was true to his word; he woke me up early and carried me to the training room Since it was just the two of us, I could wear a sports bra and shorts without worrying about Adonis ripping some guy’s eyes out.

He really pushed me to my limits and beyond. With no breaks and constant training, my body ached, but Adonis continued to push me.

Right now I was practicing building up my strength.

Hitting this punching bag continuously for twenty minutes while Adonis stood in the corner and shouted at me to hit harder really made me wish that he was this punching bag.

How satisfying would that be.

He wasn’t my mate right now, he was my trainer. His face was void of any emotion, which made it harder for me to even try and get out of training.

This Adonis took no shit from anyone, so I was stuck.

Wiping the sweat from my brow, I turned to Adonis. “Five-minute break?”

He narrowed his eyes at me before replying, “I’m timing you.”

Thank fuck. I ripped off the gloves and collapsed on the floor. My body wasn’t used to this much training It wasn’t that I was unfit or anything… but who really liked training for hours on end when you could be in bed watching TV?

“Five minutes is up!” Adonis shouted, causing me to jump up.

Urgh, why did that go by fast? Stupid time always goes past slowly other times, like when you’ve finished your exam.

Of course when you want it to go slow, it never will.

“Gloves on, let’s go,” Adonis yelled.

Groaning, I picked up the gloves and resumed punching. This time I imagined the bag to be Adonis because right now he was not in my good book.

I hit the punching bag repeatedly before it fell off and spilled everywhere. Oh shit, I don’t think that was meant to happen.

“Good, next exercise,” Adonis said, moving away from the wall and toward me.

Huh? I was meant to do that? One part of me wanted to question him, but the other part refused just in case he decided to make me hit another bag.

“Fighting stances. Your lycan may already be a great fighter, but you need to be a great fighter in your human form too,” Adonis explained.

“Damn him, telling me I am not a good fighter,” I mumbled.

“Did you say something?” Adonis asked.

“No,” I replied.

“I want you to copy the stances I show you. Okay?” he said.

I just nodded, wanting this training to finish. My body was all sweaty and gross; I needed a shower ASAP.

Adonis spent almost an hour on fighting stances, how to block and dodge. Everything hurt, but I refused to tell him that; didn’t want to seem like a wuss. Easier said than done though.

“Okay, that’s enough for today,” Adonis announced.

I let out a large sigh. “Okay, cool. Bye.”

Finally, shower time. Get these gross workout clothes on and get into my comfy clothes. Ahh, I couldn’t wait.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Adonis pulled me back to him.

He now had a smile on his face and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. I pushed him away.

“Oh, so now you smile? What happened to Mr. Emotionless? Standing there shouting at me every time I didn’t hit the punching bag properly, or I ran too slow or I…”

My speech was cut off as Adonis pulled me down so we both ended up on the floor.

I gripped his shoulders and glared at him.

“What was that for?”

“To get you to shut up.” He smirked.

“Whatever. I’m leaving.” I rolled my eyes.

“Nope, you’re staying here.” Adonis wrapped his arms around me.

“But I’m a sweaty mess,” I complained.

“I don’t care.” He shrugged.

“I couldn’t be my usual self around you. How would you ever get anything done?” Adonis sighed.

“Huh?” I was now confused.

“If it was up to me, I would have taken you upstairs and had my way with you when I saw you first come out in this outfit. I had to become ‘Mr. Emotionless’ so you could actually train,” Adonis explained.

“So basically you stood there all serious because you were horny?” I laughed.

“Mmm… I’m always horny around you.” Adonis kissed my neck.

Fucking hell, what was he doing? His lips traveled up my neck until they met mine. The urgency of the kiss caused me to moan and gave Adonis the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth.

“Adonis.. someone will see,” I panted.

“No one will interrupt the king.” He smirked.

“Cocky bastard,” I mumbled before Adonis captured my lips again.

I broke the kiss this time, needing time to catch my breath, but that didn’t stop Adonis. He trailed kisses down my neck. His lips seemed to like the spot where my neck and shoulder met.

“Fuck,” I groaned, wrapping my hands in his hair.

I felt him smirk against my skin. “Fuck you I will, very soon.”

That sounded like a promise, and I shivered. Underneath me, I felt his bulge growing and smirked.

Well two can play at this game. Granted, I had no idea what I was doing, but I hoped it would have the desired effect on him.

Adonis was too occupied to even notice when I subtly changed my position and started grinding on his impressive bulge.

God, who knew this felt so good? I felt my core getting wetter every second I carried on.

Adonis let out a groan against my neck, causing me to grind against him faster.

“If you don’t want this to end up with you lying in my bed naked, I would stop right now.” Adonis sounded like he was tortured.

My mind was foggy with desire; I couldn’t think straight. All I wanted was Adonis, and I wanted him now.

So, I paid no attention to his warning and instead grabbed his hands and placed it on my waist.

I looked him dead in the eye and said, “What if I don’t want to stop?”

“Fuck.” Adonis wasted no time lifting me up and almost taking the door off its hinges.

Oh God, I think I awoke the beast.

“Dimitri, your room is fixed now,” Gabe called.

Adonis didn’t even acknowledge his friend and instead growled, “My floor is off limits.”

Guards moved out of the way as Adonis made his way back to our room, slamming the door shut and dropping me on the bed.

I didn’t even have time to dwell about what occurred here last time as Adonis looked at me with a predatory glare in his eyes.

“There’s no going back now. You’ve said those words, I will take you, and I will mark you.” His husky voice made me clench my thighs together as I felt my core become wetter.

Adonis closed his eyes and groaned, “Here I am trying to stay in control, but you keep getting more turned on?”

Heat rose up my cheeks, and Adonis wasted no time ripping off his shirt and pants.

“Do you know how hard you make me? All this teasing of yours made it so hard not to rip your clothes off and shove my cock into your tight entrance,” Adonis growled.

Holy shit, I never knew dirty talk would turn me on that much. Adonis grabbed my hand and pressed it against his bulge.

“See, all this because you’re a little tease.” Adonis bent down and nipped my ear.

“Not my fault you can’t handle a little bit of teasing,” I managed to get out.

“Hmm… I can’t handle teasing? I think we should see if you can, but not now. I have no patience,”

Adonis whispered in my ear, wrapping his arms around my back so he could undo my sports bra.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a proper bra. It had to be pulled over my head, and Adonis had no time for that.

Instead, he ripped off my bra and flung it to the side.

h “Stupid thing was in my way,” he mumbled, leaning down and capturing one of my breasts in his mouth.

I gasped and closed my eyes, relishing in the feeling of Adonis devouring my breasts. Suddenly I found myself wanting more, wanting Adonis to give me that pleasure only he can.

“Adonis,” I breathed.

He stopped his assault on my breasts and looked up at me. My eyes were filled with desire.

“What is it baby? What do you want me to do?” Adonis looked at me.

“I…I…” My brain struggled to formulate the words.

“Show me baby, come on show me,” Adonis whispered.

Theld his hand and placed it on my core, which was covered by my soaking wet shorts and underwear.

A devious look took over his face as he crawled down so he was face-to-face with my core.

“You want me to make you cum?”

No words were coming out of my mouth, so I just nodded. Adonis smirked and ripped off my shorts and underwear in one motion.

“All you had to do was ask, my love.”

His tongue wasted no time in licking my soaking wet core.

“Fuck, you’re so wet,” he groaned into my core.

Adonis’s tongue was magical. I was a moaning mess as his tongue swirled around my clit repeatedly.

I clutched his hair, pushing him deeper into me, desperate to feel that release I so wanted. His rough strokes, bringing me closer and closer until…

He noticed this and grabbed my hands, looking up at me.

“No more, baby. This is your punishment for constantly teasing me.” He smirked.

What? He can’t leave me on edge like that! I was about to open my mouth when I noticed him pulling down his underwear.

“Time for the main show, baby.” He licked his lips.

Jeez, my throat dried up at the sight of him. He was massive. How was that going to fit?

Adonis sensed my nerves and kissed me slowly. “It’ll be fine. Keep your eyes on me.”

My gaze was locked onto his hazel eyes as he slowly entered me. My eyes automatically closed, and Adonis growled.

“Open your eyes, Aarya, I want to see you as I take you for the first time.”

Forcing my eyes open, they locked onto Adonis’s gaze. He grabbed my hands and pinned them above me. Now that his member was in, I moved against him to get him to move.

“Adonis, fucking move,” I growled.

He didn’t need to be told twice. Adonis moved slow at first, but I watched as his muscles tensed.

Clearly this wasn’t his cup of tea.

Since my hands were still above my head, I decided to wiggle to get his attention.

“I said move, Adonis,” I growled again.

This time he got the hint. His thrusts became faster and harder. He let go of my hands, and I used them to pull him down to my lips.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck. You feel so good. So good,” Adonis groaned.

“Oh God, Adonis, don’t stop.” I felt my release building up.

“Never, I’ll never stop.” Adonis thrust into me faster.

“Shit,” I groaned.

“Come on, baby, let it go,” Adonis said, his lips attaching to my neck.

“Oh fuck. Adonis!” I yelled as he bit into my neck.

At the same time, I felt my juices spill out of me as Adonis swore and his seed filled me. Adonis collapsed next to me and pulled me closer to him.

“I will never get tired of that.”

“Of what? Having sex?” I asked, yawning.

“Of seeing you cum all over my cock. And it’s not sex. We made love.” Adonis pecked my lips.

“Guys? Are you serious right now?” Evan’s voice shouted.

“It reeks of sex. Why am I the one who always has to get you?” he complained Both Adonis and I looked at each other and burst out laughing.

“Glad you find it funny, but we said we would meet, remember? I’ll tell the others it’ll be a while,” Evan grumbled before walking off.

“I did specifically say no one is allowed on this floor. His fault.” Adonis shrugged.

AS MUCII AS I UUL WAHIL LU leave ule ucu, Lvall was ugii. Vyllau umys to do. I looked at Adonis, who sighed.

“Fine, lets shower.”

“Together?” I squeaked.

“Saves water that way.” He grinned, picking me up and carrying me to the bathroom An hour later, we were showered and ready. Obviously Adonis delayed the process by saying he couldn’t get enough of me, so we ended up spending a lot more time in the shower than needed.

I was tired and sore down there, but the seriousness of the situation kept me awake. Both of us made our way, hand in hand, to his study.

“Finally,” Evan said as soon as we walked in.

“You’re finally marked and mated!” Lexi squealed.

“Yeah so exciting.” Evan rolled his eyes.

This time I hit him round the head and laughed. “You’re only sour because you’ll be the last to mate.”

Gabe laughed and looked at Adonis. “I’m happy for you but be careful.

These girls know how to use their bodies against us.

Lexi laughed and replied, “I’ll teach you my tricks, Aarya.”

Adonis just rolled his eyes and pulled me close to him. Seems like someone was extra needy today.

Luke walked in with Sophia; both looked solemn. Sophia glanced up at me, and her eyes narrowed before winking at me. Of course she knew.

“So, plan?” Luke asked.

“Yeah…plan,” Evan trailed off.

I glanced around at the men; all their faces had a pained look. It was clear that this was hard for them.

After all, Bradley was one of them, and they all cared for him.

“Guys, we need to think about that little girl who was murdered. We aren’t catching your friend, or your brother, Luke. We are catching a criminal who needs to pay for his crimes.”

I looked at the four of them.

All the men looked at me before nodding.

“Right. First things first, I want the soldiers training to be harsher. They have to be prepared for anything.” Adonis looked at Luke.

“Done,” Luke replied.

“Warn the surrounding packs. Make sure they keep a lookout. Warn them he is dangerous.” Adonis looked at Evan and Gabe, who both nodded.

This was probably the wrong time, but Adonis looked hot giving out orders. I think my wolf was still horny.

“Warn our mates’ packs too. I am not risking anything,” Adonis added.

My pack? Shit, Carter! He will not be impressed when he hears the news. Especially since I haven’t told him of the events that occurred recently.

“We know this sick bastard; he will make the first contact. Only then will we really know what he wants.

Until then, be vigilant. Our mates will stay by our sides. If you see anything suspicious, warn me immediately,” Adonis warned everyone.

“I should go and start the training process,” Luke said, standing up.

“Aarya is training with me, but the others need to train too.” Adonis looked at the girls.

“Sophia and Lexi will train with me and Gabe. Niya…” Luke looked at Evan.

“I’ll train Niya.” Evan nodded.

Our first training session went really well, ended up with the two of us mating. I rolled my eyes. Maybe I should train with the others so there are no repeats of today.

Everyone stood up and walked out of Adonis’s study. I noticed Niya was looking at me, her eyes were telling me something.

“Adonis, I’ll meet you in a bit. Niya and I are just going to talk.” I walked over to Niya “Stay on our floor. I’ll go with these two to warn your pack,” Adonis replied, kissing me on the forehead before leaving When everyone was out of earshot, I dragged Niya to one of the rooms. My room reeked of sex, so it wasn’t the best place for a conversation.

“What happened?” I asked.

Niya glanced at me before looking down at her feet.

“Did something happen? Did Evan do something?” I pressed her.

“No, he didn’t do anything.” She seemed like she was sulking.

“Are you upset that Evan didn’t do anything?” I questioned.

“Yes! When I came here, I was terrified. So, he kept his distance, but now I feel this need like I have to be constantly with him. I want him to always stay by my side. The other night I tried to kiss him, but he stepped away, saying that I would regret it in the morning.” Niya huffed.

“Niya, he is scared. Evan doesn’t want to do anything that will cause you pain. He still blames himself for what happened to you. Plus, he is such a nice guy that even though he is desperate to mate with you, he’ll never push you,” I replied softly.

“You think so? He’s refusing me because he is scared?” Niya asked.

I nodded. “If you really want something out of this relationship, then tell him. Sit him down and tell him.”

“I thought it was too soon after to be thinking like this. That’s why I was ashamed to tell you. But me and my wolf, we’ve healed so fast since being here. Evan helped so much, always making me laugh and always respecting my space.” Niya sighed.

“Why you would think I would judge you is beyond me. But let me tell you this. There is nothing wrong with wanting something more with your mate. Like you said, he has healed you, and you should make good memories with him. Just talk to him, he will understand.” I smiled.

Niya smiled back. “God, that’s a weight lifted off my shoulders. Now what about you?”

“Me?” I asked.

“You’re a mated lycan now! I can’t believe Dimitri waited that long!” Niya laughed.

“Well, he respected me. It feels so weird to carry his mark on me. I feel like even being away from him for one minute is too long.” I shook my “Gross. Newly mated lycans,” Niya playfully responded.

“That’ll be you one day,” I teased.

Niya rolled her eyes and laughed.

We made our way out of the room and were walking toward where Adonis was when Evan met us.

“Good chat?” he asked, his gaze on Niya.

“Yep, we had a really good chat.” I smirked.

Niya shoved me before saying, “I was thinking about training.”

“Yeah? That’s so weird, I was just going to explain to you what will happen.” Evan smiled.

“Well, okay then. Bye, lovebirds,” I yelled as Evan and Niya walked away, chatting Niya turned around and stuck her middle finger up. I laughed and made my way back to my room.

The state of our room made me blush. Tom clothes everywhere, sheets were a mess.

“Hmm… thinking about this afternoon?” Adonis whispered, bending down and kissing my mark.

“When did you get back?” I tried to turn around but found myself stuck in his grip Adonis never responded but instead picked me up and threw me on the bed.

“Round three?” His devious smirk appeared on his face.

Before I could say anything, his lips captured mine and his hand slipped down my underwear.

Guess we weren’t getting out of bed today.
