Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 12

We were under attack from rogues I believe but they weren’

t savage, just desperate. The one that had punched a ho le through the car roof and clawed at my hair got his arm ripped off by Helios and then he jumped out after he told me to stay put.

My lycan was still sleeping after the silver knife wound and I couldn’t just sit here, I wanted to help but I didn’t know what to do. The one who scratched my head seemed surprised that I am a woman and he wanted me.

I wonder what will happen if I open the car door and step out, if I make a run for the forest, will they chase me?

*Nora, don’t you dare open that door, it’s dangerous. They aren’t regular rogues, they are lycans that have been driven mad after their loss of their mates. Stay still and wait for

us.* Helios mindlink me. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I pouted but the thoughts of helping them still came and I got an idea even if I didn’t have any clue of what I was doing I still wanted to help. I climbed through the car to the driver’s seat and the keys were still in so I started the car. I honked a few times and then I dr ove off, sliding the window down and letting some blood out from the window.

First I thought I was crazy and the idea was even crazier but it worked and they started running after me. But I didn’t know that they were even stronger and faster than the

average lycan. They must be driven with sadness, I stop the car when my lycan wakes up and wants out.

I opened the door and climbed out while Helios, Ben and Daniel yelled for me to stay in the car or run but I didn’t. I walked slowly toward the closest lycan and I felt all of his sadness for his lost mate. I

touched his cheek and he

sighed and fell down on his knees, he reached for me but just as he was about to touch me Helios ripped me away and Ben tackled the other lycan to the ground.

I thrashed against Helios and screamed “Let me go

I calmed down eventually and Helios turned me and stared at me angrily in the eyes.

“What in all seven hells are you doing?” He screamed at me.

“I can help him.” I don’t know how or why but I am certain that I can help them all, trust me” I say and look at him.

“Fine but we are staying right beside you and if he hurts you, I will ki ll him” Helios threatens and I nod.

Ben is still holding the lycan down but lets him up when I approaches and as I crouch down in front of him he speaks

“Please help”

“I will try” I say and give him a small smile.

I take his hand in mine and look him in the eyes when I hear my lycan speak

*Nora, lean your forehead against his and think about

releasing his lycan from all pain of the world*

It is not the first time she has spoken but this was the longest she has ever said-

I do as she said and I wave off Helios that takes a step forward. When I lean my forehead against the lycan I gasp, I can see how his mate died and how, with time he started to lose his grip on reality.

I entered his mind and woke his lycan up and said

*It’s enough now. Come back, release all of your pain and come back to us. I can’t bring your mate back but you are hurting your human and others around you. Release your anger and come back to us*

When I moved back and opened my eyes I noticed he was crying his eyes out.

“Thank you so much. It’s the first time I am in control since my lycan took over. It has been years. Thank you. My name is Dave, may I ask what your name is miss?”

“My name is Nora and I am Prince Helios mate” I say and smile and he thanks Helios as well.

“You healed him, Miss Nora” Ben said with a voice that I could only decipher like he was in awe.

“I don’t know what happened but it was like I could feel all his sadness and I took it away. Helios, can I try it again on one of the others?” I ask and look at my mate that just stares at Dave.

“Yes on one I choose, okay?” Helios answers and I nod, curiosity over who he will choose.

Helios wanders off while Daniel comes closer while Dave just keeps on thanking me. Helios comes back and tells me to follow him and we do. When we arrive at the place I see three lycans being held down by guards,

“This one in the middle, can you heal him, for me Nora?” Helios asks and I nod

“I can try.” I say and approach the one in the middle. I gasp as he looks up, his eyes glowing purple.

*I don’t know if I can heal him, he’s a royal* I say to my lycan while crouching down in front of him.

*Yes you can just trust yourself and trust me

I lean forward and put my hands on each side of his face and then lean forward to touch his forehead with mine. I opened my mind and sought his but it was strange, there was no feeling at all, only darkness so I tried his lycan instead.

At first I felt nothing but then a light glimmered and I was filled with despair, it wasn’t mine but it was theirs. I was su cked inside the memory and the first I saw was the sun.

There was a bright day, the sun was shining and the birds were chirping and everything felt happy. I was looking through his eyes and I took in the scenery, smell and what I heard, I could tell he was happy.

“Daddy, daddy” a young voice said and he turned his head

and saw a little blonde girl coming towards him. She could be around four or five years old and she was carrying flowers in her small hands. She was wearing a pink dress and she was barefoot, behind her came an adult woman with the same blonde hair and purple eyes just like the little girl.

“Daddy, here, I picked these for you, happy birthday” the young girl said.

“Happy birthday darling” the woman said and bent down

and kissed him.

The kiss was sweet and tender.

Then the day kept on going, sunny and bright. They ate a birthday cake that was sweet and tasty and then as a birthday present, the girl had made a drawing of all three of them playing in the garden.

But as the day started to turn into evening they all just stopped and looked up towards the castle, at first I didn’t know why then I heard it. A voice in the air and above them there were thunderclouds and the wind was picking up. “From this day forth… a bond forged… your redemption…

”

Was all the words I could pick up and then it became quiet and the weather calmed down. He shook his head and looked down on his daughter that held his hand. She coughed and then looked up at him and he felt scared for a second. He looked up at his mate and she too was coughing, then I saw blood.

Both females were coughing up blood, then it ran blood

from their noses, ears and eyes. He caught his mate as she fell down and she started to throw up blood. The girl fell down next to them and he pulled her body closer but she was already dead when her mother kissed her on the head.

“I love you” she whispered and then the light in her eyes went out and she breathed her final breath.

The feelings were swirling in his mind and heart like a storm, sadness, anger and confusion. When he finally got it, it was pure devastation and he howled, heartbroken he howled out his anguish. But he wasn’t the only one, all over the city and even in the castle you could hear howling and roars of devastation, anger and sadness. It was overwhelming and then I heard him.

*Out of my head*

I was thrown backwards and I fell on Helios and he looked really worried at me but I looked at the lycan again. He looked furious but I have never been one to back down when I need to do something.

I crawled forward again and my lycan lent her strength to me and I pushed out my aura making them whimper under the pressure and then I put my hands on his face again and stared him in the eyes.

*I know what happened, I saw it and felt it but it’s time to let the past go and move forward to heal yourself. Give it to me and will help you, your family is waiting for you. Do you think your mate and daughter wanted to see you like this so please help me, them and yourself by letting them. go* I say in an attempt

His lycan are struggling against me, sure I could just command him but it would be easier for him to do it willingly instead. And after a few minutes he slumped forward and I could feel that he was relieved.

Relieved to be out of his prison of devastation, when he looked up he smiled and I noticed that he and Helios looked similar so when I looked at Helios I saw tears in his eyes.

“Uncle? Do you remember me?” Helios asked in a shaky voice.

“Of course, my brave Helios, I remember everything. Everything that you have done. I am so grateful that you didn’t lose your hope in me. I just hope that you will do the right thing by her because she is a keeper but you need to be careful.”

“Yes I know uncle. You and one other lycan will accompany us to the castle, okay.” Helios says and his uncle nods.

“Can I ask your name, princess?” he asked me and smiled.

I opened my mo uth to give him my name but nothing came out except a scream. All of his and Dave’s emotions wrecked through my body at the same time, memories flashes about his mate and daughter dying in his arms.

I tried to explain what was going on but could barely hear my own thoughts when she suddenly spoke again.

*I am so sorry Nora. I tried to hold it away from you but his lycan were so strong and his griefing was stronger so I couldn’t hold both his and Dave’s at the same time. But

give me a second to gather myself but be prepared of fainting, I need to restore my energy*

It all stopped and I took a deep breath before telling Helios that my lycan is taking on everything and I will faint soon. But as I tell him my heart and brain starts to hurt and I feel like I will explode any second and I let out a roar and everything is going black as I finally faints. I remember my last thought though, I hope that someone else can break the curse because I don’t want to see everyone’s pain like, Helios’ family.

I don’t want to see how his mother dies and his little sister who was so young when the curse came into power. “Your redemption” I wonder what that meant, is that me then? Or something or someone else?

“A bond forged” That really disturbs me, what bond is forged, is her spell forged to a person then it will be even harder to break. I really need to hear the entire spell; perhaps it’s a clue in it somewhere.

*Hello Nora. I am looking forward to meet you* A foreign voice enter my mind before the darkness takes me over completely.
