Chapter 26

Pain.

Heart wrenching pain...

That's what I felt when they mated and me suffering in this fucking damp hell.

How dare he!?!

How dare he claim alone what should be mine also...

The bastard stole my chance for a true mate and now I will only have the states of a second mate.

I felt every kiss, every caress, and every fucking thing they shared. My howls of pain echoed through this damn hall, and something changed inside me when they fucking mated.

Something awakened within me releasing the power of my true self.

My both ancestral powers merged together giving me the ultimate power to be the king of my long forgotten powerful race.

It’s time to claim what is mine.

No more hiding.

I channeled my whole power and broke thorough the chains which were binding me.

Then, using my powers, I teleported myself to the throne room of my native realm.

Where my people assemble for daily discussions.

Without their true king they have formed a small council as the acting crown.

A hushed whisper fell my fellow long forgotten relations, and everyone was amazed with my dark powerful aurora surrounding them.

They immediately bowed down and submitted to me recognizing who I am.

Soon shouts were erupted from every corner and all recognized and shouted in chores for me.

"He has arrived...HE..HAS...ARRIVED...HE HAS ARRIVED!!! Our long-lost Heir HAS ARRIVED!!! Hail our New King!!!! HAIL OUR NEW KING!!!”

***

Amelia's POV.

Finally...

Finally My King decided it was time to leave the cave.

Lucus was hesitant at first.

But with immense sugar coatings and buttering he agreed to leave the cave and get back into proper civilization.

And most of the time it is hilariously difficult to talk with him.

Because his wolf is the one who is in controlling.

Darios was always growling and humping me.

He either wants to be inside of me or to touch me.

Fucking paradise.

But I was lucky.

In a heated moment I got Darios and Lucus to agree with my term and they promised to take me to outside world.

No longer living like a cave man. Or rather a wild wolf.

So today we decided it was time to leave the cave.

I was snuggled to the King's side and soon he came in front of the giant rock which blocked the entrance of the cave.

With an easy flip he pushed it into a side and opened the cave for the first time in a month.

Torches lightened the rocky hallway and with a quick tug The King tucked me into his arms shielding me from everything. His hairy muscled chest was the only thing visible for me.

And soon I found that we were going inside to the palace.

And the lightning along with the ceiling and walls confirmed my thoughts.

So, I peeked from his massive form and found guard covering every inch of the side of the halls.

My eyes lingered on them as I haven't seen a human for a month.

Vos yeux ne sont autorisés qu'à me voir.

Aucun autre homme!!! (Your eyes are allowed only to see me. No other man!!!)

He suddenly shouted and snarled at guards.

Poor guards.

They all were shaking and shivering.

And poor me. I was even tightly engulfed within his muscular arms. His wolf was still in control and as soon as we came to his room, he bolted the door and sealed the chamber.

I was feeling dirty living in the cave for so long. So, I decided to have a wash. But as soon as I tried to loosen his arms a vicious growl stopped me.

Non!!!

I tried again and again. But he only huffed and growled. At last, I think Darios had enough because he snarled and snapped his canines at me. And at that point I was exhausted. I silently gave up and this bipolar wolf cooed and snuggled me. Taking me to a dream less peaceful sleep.

Stupid wolf and his antics.

***

I woke up after some time to a cold bed. Lucus was not in sight, and I relived a sigh. Finally, some alone time for myself. Even though I have accepted Lucus to some point, I still have some rebellious part in me that screams me to turn away from him. But with the mate bond and my own feelings, I am feeling things for him. Still, I need some time for myself also. So, this opportunity was golden. Because in the cave I was always with him. Even when I was going to the washroom, he followed me.

I ringed the bell which was beside The King's huge bed and soon my three maids came in.

"My Queen...What do you need.? Your wish is our command!"

"Prepare a bath and my outfit for the say. I shall have my breakfast in the garden."

"Very well your Grace but The King won't like you outside of the chamber"

"Keep your mouth shut and do as I say. I don't want to hear another thing!"

And with that the maids helped me into my bath and to dress. I chose to wear something modern. I was sick of wearing pretty princess gowns. So, I decided to be little bit rebellious and spice up Lucus. So, I went for a revealing dress. It was a burgundy color dress with a crisscrossing front and a deep v neck. Its tightness accentuated my wide hips and the hourglass figure.

The maids were hesitant at first when I decided to wear that dress. But I am the queen. So, they immediately shut their mouths when I sent a hard glare at them. To finish off the look I paired some black heels and then I was ready to go.

I asked my maids to prepare my breakfast in the garden so that I can enjoy my morning in the nature with some peace. The loneliness gave me a strange comfort without the constant bickering of The King.

I wonder where he went...

There was a small stream near the breakfast table and when I finished my full English breakfast, it was like calling my name. Although Lucus was not present with me, his guards were everywhere. They surrounded me like a force guard, and I was sure I saw some new wolves looking at me secretly. They were unable to keep their eyes off of me and I was certain it was due to my revealing dress. I mean who cannot look at these curves.

Huh...

And without anything interesting to do I chose to do something adventures.

The green house beside the stream was perfect for my plan. I finished my breakfast and sent my maids to bring some towels and a swimsuit along with lotions. Then I went into the green house to change. I changed in there and came out. Almost as soon as I stepped out every wolf who was guarding looked away. But the new ones were struggling, and I felt it when they stole quick glances. The old ones were frowning, and I saw their eyes glazed over. Probably mind linking Their stupid King.

Hmm...interesting...

I left them there and went to the stream.

And dived in right then and there. The water was warm and soothing against my skin and it caressed my skin in a way I never imagined.

The splashing of the water against my skin calmed me and the sounds from the nature provided me my little own heaven.

I enjoyed the true luxury of nature and closed my eyes and floated for several minutes.

After some time, I came out of it and sat down on the plush green grass enjoying the sun on my skin.

My maids applied the lotion on to my skin and I saw how the guards were staring at me.

The water droplets along with the sun rays dancing on my curves worked magic before their eyes and they were unable to resist the temptation.

I silently smirked to myself.

"Your Grace I don't think it’s wise to do this.

The wolves highly sensitive and the guards are uncomfortable in this situation. So, its best if you retire for the day My Lady.”

Foolish maids...

"Listen and listen well. You are my maids not my advisors.

So, keep your thoughts to yourself.

Besides your King should be here.

If he is not here, he can't complain about this because he should be here with me.

And he didn't have the courtesy to spend the morning with me.

Let along inform me about his departure.

This is just the pay back for him.

So keep your mouth, and now apply and massage this damn lotion to me!"

After that they didn't complain, and I noticed how the wolves were getting frustrated with each passing minute.

Soon some even attempted to come close.

But the head of the guard was an old wolf.

So, he moved forward and snarled at the two young guards who were losing their senses to their wolves.

He flashed a quick look at me, and I smirked at him.

Then his eyes glazed over, and I knew what was going on. The watch dog was informing his Alpha.

And I knew in seconds that damn King would be here.

Then I will have no fun.

So, I stood up and started to walk towards them.

By then the head guard was out of his dazed state and his eyes went big when he realized that I was coming their way.

The two-piece swimsuit was hugging my butt and my boobs. With each step my boobs were bouncing and soon all the palace guards were looking at my body. Water droplets adorned my body making it shine against the sun.

I was sure that I was making it a hard task for them to ignore me.

But...

Just when I was going to take another step...

Time seems to be stopped and everything went quiet.

Even the sounds from the nature were gone.

For a friction every wolf eye went bigger and alarmed.

And...

Finally...

A terrifying roar stopped me in my tracks.

With a flash I was ripped from everyone's view and placed behind a tall tree.

I was dizzy for a moment but when I gathered my senses, I was surprised to hear snarls and growls filling the air.

With a curious mind I peeked from behind the tree.

The sight which greeted me was bloody and disgusting.

Ten or more dead wolves’ bodies were scattered on the garden, covering everything with crimson red blood.

Fifty or more palace guards along with the Karys (warriors in the pack) were holding down the King's Lycan and he was snapping at everyone.

Oops...Never thought this would be this bad...

Whatever...

Better to slip away than involving with this trouble.

But alas...

My foot caught a twig, and its breaking sound alerted The Lycan about my location.

His crimson gold eyes snapped to mine and with an earth-shattering roar he broke from everyone and then charged at me.

Shit just got real...
