Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Nora POV I can’t believe it, Artemis partly shifted and now I am stuck in this very strange form, and everything hurts. It feels like I have broken my back but it feels like it’s not strange. Is this how it feels to shift? I don’t know if I want to fully shift. But I know I will have to do it on my next birthday. Sh it. I try to move my arms slowly but instead I accidentally hit Ben in the chest and I slam him into a tree. “Sorry” I try to say. “It’s okay Nora, I have been in worse conditions. I hardly felt that” Ben says as he gets up and brushes off leaves from his clothes. I sit down and hold my body still so I won’t hurt anyone else that I care about, sigh. “Nora, I am coming over now. I am not treating you like a wild animal even though you probably think so but you see. A lycans senses are super sensitive and you are unaware of them, your senses will probably say that I am an enemy so that is why I am taking it slowly. And anything that happens is not your fault, please remember that” Helios tries to calmdown. I am not calm because I have her scent now, she has entered the forest with my mate and I can feel that he doesn’t want her here. He wants her to stop touching him, he is mine. Why 1/4 O

< is she touching my mate? “Helios, I think Ares is in the forest with Mia” Daniel begins to say but I don’t stick around to hear the rest as I run away. I run as fast as I can, I am letting the bond guideto Ares, he IS mine. I am tackled down to the ground by something or someone, a lycan. My claws didn’t cout but if they did I would have clawed out their eyes for trying to stoplike that. I want my mate, he is mine. “Nora, stop. It’s the bond, just ignore it, we will help you, just calm down” Helios tries to talk tobut

my senses are in overdrive. Ares comes into view and he looks atwith regret in his eyes and I went completely still, my mind almost went blank and I looked at Helios but he didn’t look at me. Helios were screaming at Mia and Ares and at first I didn’t get it until Mia cinto my vision. He marked her! Ares marked Mia, overriding my mark. I screamed. I roared with despair and I felt her, Artemis. She was howling in my mind, feeling the loss of our mate and the shift went back, it was painful but my heart was in way more pain because of his betrayal. Why can’t I never be enough? What have I been doing wrong? “Nora?” Helios said my nand I felt that the shift was over. I was human again but full of despair. I slowly sat up, ignoring that I was naked as I slowly touched my neck where Ares’ mark was supposed to be. It wasn’t there and I broke down. I heard that Helios tried to talk toand Ares and Mia but I couldn’t hear anything of what they said, I felt so alone as I screamed and Artemis roared within grief and then all went black. I welcomed the dark, thank you. Helios POV I can’t believe it, Nora semi shifted and everyone could see how beautiful Artemis is, she will be a remarkable queen one day. But now we wait in the forest as we take her out here, where Nora and Artemis are safest. But Nora has sproblems in her new partly shifted body. She slammed Ben into a tree and even if he said he was fine, I could see on his face that she had hurt him and he was impressed by her strength. Then she felt him, Ares and Mia cinto the forest and I was horrified by what they have done and as I watch Nora run off towards them I shifted and mindlinked my idiotic twin brother. *What in the hell are you doing? You can’t mark Mia without rejecting Nora! Now Nora is on a rampage trying to find you. How do you think Artemis will feel when she sees Mia?* *It’s fake, Helios. I will explain to Nora later, as Mia took away my mark on Nora’s shoulder it stuck on

her like a temporary tattoo you know. I don’t feel a bond to Mia whatsoever and I don’t want one either. Artemis will be fine by the way, as long as Nora take back the rejection we can start over again. Oh sh it Nora is gonna lose it or Artemis is gonna kill Mia or Ares, or in the best case, she will kill them both. Hmm perhaps I should just let her loose on her rampage.. Oh Too late I have already tackled her down on the ground, oh well. *Ares are you really that stu pid to show her that?” 1/4 г *Show her what?* *You are showing Nora something that will break her and Artemis both, idiot* Then the worst that could happen just happened, Artemis howled and Nora screamed out her distress and her agonish. The sound was heartbreaking and the entire forest answered her. Tree vines slithered around Mia’s body and threw her up in the air and she scream in fear but I didn’t care for her, I looked as Nora shifted back to her human form, and even though she was naked, she didn’t care. She touched her neck where the mark was before and now it’s gone. Devastation, utterly devastation was heard from her, I fell down on my knees as it felt like my heart was being crushed and so did Ares. But my roar was for something else, Nora fell down on the earth and when I touched her, she was cold. Her skin was ice cold and her heartbeat was long gone. Nora was dead.
