Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 99

Part 2 Chapter 19

Ben’s POV

Well Anna showed those humans how much their words were worth but their faces were so d amn funny the second before they fainted.

But something has botheredfor a while now actually. I feel like someone is following us, but I haven’t seen anyone, strange.

We ate Chinese food, one of Anna’s favorites andand Ares almost got thrown out of the restaurant. Apparently we ate too much from the buffet but then why have a “all you can eat buffet” if you aren’t able to eat everything there?

Anna laughed and I was happy to see a smile on her face. I see Anna as a mom since my mother died while giving birth to me. But I am happy that my mom and dad weren’t fated mates because dad didn’t break when my mother died.

He raisedand Anna was one of the females that took care ofas well. There have been a lot of faces around the castle but it feels like Anna has always been there. I wonder if it’s because of the curse that Anna hasn’t aged like she should

have.

She has been with us for almost 80 years and she still looks like she is in her mid thirties. She told us once that her parents are pureblood werewolves but she has never shifted or talked to her wolf. But she can feel its presence like she is sleeping. I hope she will wake up when Uncle Dave marks her. She

deserves to feel the freedom like a werewolf would.

We wait until the truck is ready and I have decided to ride in the truck with the driver and Ares will take the car with Anna. I told her that she has to be fast at the rabecause Ares has a weird music taste.

There it is again, that strange feeling, I try to shake it but there is something strange. I shake my head again at the stas the truck driver unlocks the truck and we get in. I sniff the air but it doesn’t smell anything different and the driver is an ordinary guy. But his smile is beautiful. What?

Helios POV

Land Daniel took turns tearing down the kitchen. Dad told Anna and Ares to buy everything new and I didn’t understand why in the beginning but now absolutely. After we had our turns and the kitchen was completely gone we noticed something on the rug and we took it away.

But under the rug was a wooden floor and it had dark brown stains on it. The smell was gone long ago but the color said everything, blood.

So we tore up the floor and the secret under it left us speechless. A blood drawn pentagram with old symbols around it and a witch symbol in the middle. Dad called for Mariah and Melinda, they cin an instant and I remember the horror on Mariah’s face when she saw the symbol.

I took the opportunity and asked Melinda about the library doors and she happily answered that the tree dryads are still alive in the doors. But she was surprised that she had spoken to Nora and even invited her inside.

Melinda called the coven to cand they were all scared of the peritagram and the symbols but they cleansed the floor and the symbols sunk through the floor. It didn’t disappear

but took root inside the castle stones.

Mariah explained with tears in her eyes that the pentagram was drawn by one of their ancestors and the symbols around give its meaning to the spell. The symbol in the middle means “eternity”.

So all curses that are placed on my fathers bloodline will for eternity hold its grasp until the very last royal drop of blood disappears and then the long wait will finally be over. Or something like that.

Mariah believes that this pentagram is a power source for Mia’s and the other witch’s curse to stay alive.

I didn’t quite understand that but when everything was done we put back the floorboards but we took snew ones where there was dried blood and Mariah and the coven blessed the wood. Protecting it from anything evil and by doing that, the kitchen will be protected and if something evil is happening in the kitchen it will sing out.

Yep witches have their thing, strange and even more strange but we have our thing as well, instincts they call it. And my instinct right now is to go outside. So I do and when I get outside I meet Felix and Kara.

“What are you guys doing here?” I ask them and they look surprised at that.

“What are you talking about Helios? Your father has invited every king from the lycan kingdoms for a grand meeting in three days’ time.” Felix says and I stare at him in shock.

Why the hell did he do that for? Oh, goddess. I show them inside while Felix tellsthat Pete is running the kingdom right now and that they almost caught the witch that has killed so many of their people.

I explain about Nora’s heat and Kara giggles at my mark that I had totally forgotten about. But she also toldthat it would fade, if Nora’s mark would truly stick, she needs to mark us at every heat wave

and then we need to mark her after the third heat wave but before it ends.

I thought it sounded crazy but Felix mentioned something about the “golden hour” and I got it. The hour after the heat dies down but the scent is still strong. I need to tell Ares this as well so he knows about it.

Melinda comes out along with Daniel and Felix smiles large as he hugs Daniel. Bro hug…

Then Daniel introduces Melinda but before I can stop him he has already told Felix that Melinda is a witch and then Felix attacked Melinda.

Daniel jumped into the middle and there was sfighting and a bit of chaos, they shifted into their lycans and I sighed but just as I tried to step into the middle a voice interrupted all of us.

“Kara?”

“Nora?”
