Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 9

Helios POV

I sit here amazed while I look at my mate, she is so beautiful. She is finally standing up for herself, something that she has longed to do perhaps not like this in an arena where not only the pack she grew up with but also lycans and other alphas and some of their pack members are.

She tells everyone her version of the situation and probably without knowing she releases her own aura. Forcing

everyone to shut up and listen to what she has to say. A true queen. I haven’t known her for long but I swear that I love her.

All of her. Her strength and weakness show everyone who she really is. The young woman that I love. When Ben told me that she could mindlink anyone she had met I knew for certain that she is a lycan.

Every lycan can do that but only one royal lycan family has the trait that I believe that Nora does have. They can speak with our beasts whether it’s a lycan or a werewolf. Our beast side is only that, a beast. It doesn’t have a name or a voice, we can sense what it wants or what kind of mood it’s in but that’s only because it’s a part of ourselves. It will be interesting to see if Nora, in fact, is the last female lycan and if she is then she can break the curse. I need to speak with her parents.

Tonce again concentrate on the challenge as Nora

suddenly mindlink me, confirming my suspicions, she is a

lycan. Explaining to my mate that the brats wolf recognizes Nora’s lycan as her leader and closes off the mindlink to force Nora to pay attention to the fight, I watch her.

She is indeed more well built than most werewolf females

but that just makes her more attractive to me, she can defend herself. In this world that we live in that is a quality she really needs to have and I am so proud of her. I have always been worried that my mate would be weak and not be able to defend herself, that would lose her because of

1.

I release a roar along with everyone else from my kingdom as we watch the brat break my mate’s leg. The smell of blood becomes stronger and the mix with her tears fill the arena as Nora screams out her pain. The brat doesn’t give her Nora a chance to recover but attacks again and this

time it’s her other arm.

She trashes Nora around and at the same time claws at her

back. I notice the huge scar Nora has on her back as her tank top is torn into shreds. I made a mental note to ask her parents about that one.

Then I felt it, Nora’s lycan had woken up and she semi shifted. Her broken leg and arm snaps into place again and black fur replaces her skin and her eyes glow purple. She roars and my lycan answers her call, he wants to see her rip apart that brat that had the nerve to challenge her.

Nora’s lycan rises tall and I see her hands shift into paws with long sharp claws that can shred anything apart. Nora grabs the brat by her scruff and she whelps in surprise as Nora fling her about 100 meters to the side. The brat lands

badly as she breaks one of her legs and she screams.

Bén lets out a low growl and I look at him as he is on the verge of shifting.

“Stop” I say to him in warning.

Ben looks at me and nods, he recognizes my authority but still his instincts may take over so I mindlink Daniel. Even if I am frustrated over the bond he has with Nora, I will need him now.

*Daniel. Ben is on the verge of shifting. I need you to keep an extra eye on Nora in case I don’t succeed in stopping Ben in time*

*Always*

I nod and keep looking at Nora as she stalks her way over to the brat, she looks down on her and releases a loud growl and picks her up by the tail and throws her up in the air.

Nora’s lycan is driven by instinct right now and there is no telling what she will do to someone that hasn’t only threatened her but also me and the matebond.

“I can’t hold him any longer” Ben grunts and I nod at Linus. and Tristan to help me in case.

“Why?” Does he want to go to Nora or Emily?” I ask and he seems stunned by the question.

“Nora”. He wants to help Nora, he wants to pledge to her” Ben says confused.

“And what about you? Which one do you want to go to?” I ask, noticing his confusion

“I.. I rejected Emily but the bond is still there but I don’t want to hurt Nora” he explains and I smile at him.

“Lets just watch them for the moment then” I say and Ben sighs in relief.

Emily attacks Nora but she stops and she bites herself, Nora tilts her head and looks at her. Emily’s wolf is trying to take control again but she wont let her. The struggle ends pretty quickly as Nora’s aura comes smashing out and some of the werewolves that are watching fainted.

*Prince Helios. What is this aura? I just want to tuck my tail and run away* Andrei mindlink me and I look around me.

Tristan, Ben and Linus are sweating while they try to hold their instincts back and I look down at Nora that seems unaffected. I get up from my seat and walk to the alpha of this pathetic pack.

“How are you doing? Well I guess that you can see that she isn’t as weak as you thought she was now. Her aura is amazing don’t you think?” I say to him with a smirk. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Please Prince Helios. Please, go down to your mate.” Luna Sandra pleads.

“Oh I would really like that but I am not allowed to interrupt right?” I say and glance at her.

“I give you permission” the alpha stutters and I nod.

I walk toward the balcony and jump down, landing on the grass with a soft thud. Nora turns her attention to me and I can see the struggle in her eyes as I walk towards her. She growls slowly, her instincts tell her that I am the enemy, trying to interrupt her fight.

I notice Daniel on the side and I hold up my hand at him, telling him to stay at the side. Nora doesn’t like that as she roars but stands still. She is struggling to keep the grip and not to lose it over on instincts.

*Stop, Helios, please just stop* Nora mindlinks me and I stop

*Why? Are you having problem, princess I say and smirk.

*I can’t. I don’t know. Help. No wait don’t come here*

*Make up your mind, Nora. Tell me what it is you are feeling*

*I am, no she is pissed off. She wants to kill Emily and you*

*Why me?*

*She doesn’t like that you are mean to Daniel. And she thinks that you will take her prey away from her. And hunger, a lot of hunger*

*

Daniel is fine, I don’t understand the bond between the two of you and that makes my beast frustrated. I will not take the brat away from her, that’s her task. And you are not hungry and neither is she*

*What? Yes we are hungry, very hungry. I can feel it inside

of her she is starving*

*No and yes, it’s called lust, Nora*

*What? Lust? Omg she is a horn dog*

I laughed out loud at her, seriously she called her lycan a horn dog.

I held up my hands and Nora’s lycan back away while glaring at me but I just smiled. Nora turns slowly and effectively drops her aura and I can hear the others release their breaths but I stand still.

I notice Beta Jessica and Delta Ryan are laying on the ground so I slowly walk around Nora to go check on them. They pant heavily and I help them up, they nod at me and focus on the challenge again.

Beta Jessica asks me to stay in case the challenge goes south and they would need help so I stay with them and watch my mate almost beating the life out of the brat. I watch her as she suddenly stands down and shifts back. Nora is laying on her back panting like she has been trying to take control for awhile now.

When a lycan is set on loose it is almost impossible for the human counterpart to reign in control again so to say that I am impressed is an understatement. Nora turns her head at me and glares before she gets up and turns her attention. back at Emily.

“Stand down.” Submit” Nora says and without hesitation, Emily bares her neck.

Delta Ryan approaches the girls and the shouts.

“The challenge is done, Nora wins as Emily stands down and shows submission. Can the mates come down here”

I walk over to Nora but she continues to glare at me so I stop and smirk at heṛ. Ben takes the same way down as me, he jumps down and walks over to us. Nora looks at him and he looks at me and I give him permission. Ben pulls Nora into his arms and hugs her, she puts her arms around him as she comforts him in a friendly manner.

We heard bone snapping and Emily scream as the broken leg snaps in the wrong place.

“Miss Emily, you submitted and so you will accept the rejection and then you will accept your fate that Nora decides for you” Beta Jessica said

“I, Emily, daughter of the alpha from the silver stream pack hereby accept your rejection” Emily’s voice was shaking as she said those words.

Ben sucked in a breath but Nora just walked over to her and kneeled in front of her.

“Listen closely Emily because I will spare your life but your will live your life the way I did”

I tilt my head and wonder what she means by that and by the look in Emily’s eyes she wonders to, when Nora’s lycan show herself again and force Emily’s wolf out.

“You were the first wolf I could hear and because of that and your endless friendship, I release you from your human

counterpart. You can take control whenever you wish for it and Emily will never be strong enough to force you down, ever again. I, Nora, promises this, you are a free wolf now and so long as I am alive this will never change”

I stare at Nora when she finishes, how in the hell did she do that? That is something I have never heard about. I will need to speak with the elders about this.

“Wow, so since Nora chose to let Emily live, this challenge is officially over and we can begin the tournament” Delta Ryan shouts and the crowd cheers.

Nora takes my hand and I squeeze hers and look down at her, she meets my gaze and gives me a small smile. I lead her back and Ben follows us, leaving his former mate behind without a glance in her direction.

“We need to talk with your parents princess.” I say to Nora and she raises an eyebrow at me.

“I have a lot of questions for them and you will need some new clothes” I explain and Nora look down and she stops

“Shit, I am almost naked”

“Did you seriously notice that now?” Ben asked and Nora blushed

“I was a bit busy you know” she pouted like a child making me chuckle.

I took off my shirt and put it over her head, it looked like a dress on her body but now she smelled like me so I am happy.

Nora’s parents met us at the edge of the arena and Nora hugged them hard.

“We need to talk” I told them and they nodded

“Yes we know.” Shall we talk now?” her mother answered

and I nodded.

We walked away from the arena and all the other wolves watching. We took a seat at one of the benches further out of the arena.

“So I know that you have a lot of questions, Prince Helios but we will try to tell the entire story first and so we ask to save the questions to last” Nora’s dad said and I remained quiet.

“My beautiful girl, Nora. You were born as a lycan but what you don’t know is that you are not only the last female lycan but you are also a female lycan born from two

werewolves.

Nora, you are a true queen and the last royal warrior lycan”

What? That’s impossible.
