Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 2

The stranger are a lycan, we can tell by their eye color, all lycans except for the royals have the same eye color, gray. The royal bloodline has purple eyes. “Hi, I am looking for a woman called Nora but I think my aura frightened these two before I could ask them” he said and scratched the back of his neck. “Well, my name is Nora and these two behind me are Mia and her son, Josh, they are omegas. If I aren’t to rude I want to ask you to move away from the jeep so they can leave.” I say while smiling gently at him. “What? Yes, of course. I am really sorry, I didn’t mean to scare them.” he said and moved away from the car. He actually moved quite far so the tension lessened and both Mia and Josh could get up without a problem. I helped them get into the jeep while assuring them the entire time that I would be okay. I waved them off and waited until I couldn’t see the jeep anymore. “I’m really sorry that I scared your friends, it wasn’t my attention.” the man said and I turned around to look at him. “Thank you for apologizing, mister?” I said slowly and realized I didn’t know his name. “My name is Ben,” he said and gave me a gentle smile. “Nice to meet you, beta Ben” I answered and bowed. “No need to bow. How did you know that I’m the beta though?” Ben asked and raised a brow. I smiled and took out the list that I had folded and put inside my pocket, I showed him that and he nodded while reading it. “Yeah, one problem though,” Ben said. “What is that?” I was confused. “One of the princes is coming too.” Ben’s eyes sparkled dangerously and I nodded. “Wait. What? What prince? One of your princes? The lycan kingdom’s prince? But, but, did we know this? We didn’t. Omg what are we going to do?” I panicked while walking around in circles. “Yeah, Nora. Can we go inside perhaps and I will try to explain this.” Ben interrupted my inner

monologue. I nodded and then shook my head to try to clear my thoughts while I took the lead inside the mansion, Ben chuckled behind me. While I showed him the rooms he began to explain about the prince’s decision. I nodded while my brain tried to keep up with the information and I stopped once and banged my head into the wall. ” Are you okay, Nora?” Ben asked with concern in his voice. “Yeah, I’m okay now.” I say and force my brain to work. I have a job to do, I can have a mental breakdown another day. I showed Ben all the rooms while asking him which one he wanted and if the colors were okay. Then I showed him the big bathroom with a bathtub big enough for five people, the living room, the playroom with xbox and all other kinds of games that I have never played. The kitchen is restocked so they can fix their food and then I showed him the pool outside and since it’s still warm outside the water will be nice as well. At last I explained about the forest that surrounds the mansion. We have marked up the boundaries to the other two packs with flags in the trees. One of our neighboring packs aren’t so kind to trespassers while the other will accept anyone as long as they aren’t rogues. We took a seat at the bench by the pool and Ben asked one of the questions I wanted to avoid.

“How come your wolf isn’t affected by my aura? Don’t you have a wolf? Or perhaps have you not shifted yet?” I took a deep breath and began to explain while trying to hold back my tears. “I haven’t shifted yet but I have my wolf. She came two years later than the others but as we haven’t shifted I often get bullied but I am one of the top warriors in my pack.” “A late bloomer, that’s okay though, we get ours by the age of 18 and shift by the age of 21 anyway” Ben shrugs.

“I was 18 when she came but she told me that we weren’t strong enough to shift then” I say and look down, feeling sad. “Is it okay if I try something? It won’t hurt, I promise.” Ben says and tilts his head and I nod. Ben takes my hands in his and I shiver when I see his eyes flick to black letting forward his lycan. My wolf perks up and is curious about what is happening so I let her see through my eyes. “What the he ll?” Ben says and pulls away his hands. My wolf retreats with a loud huff. “Oh I just thought you were my mate and my lycan could call your wolf forward but we aren’t so I’m sorry if I surprised you.” Ben said and I looked at him. *Norâ. It’s me, mo m. Sandra spoke with the alpha and he gives you one more day so you can be in the tournament tomorrow if you want, honey* *Tell Sandra that I am happy, thanks mo m* *Sure honey. Oh and Sandra said that you and Emily don’t need to eat dinner with us tonight. Don’t forget that we love you, honey.* Ben had been waiting patiently for me to finish with the mindlink. “You look a bit more happy but at the same time really sad. Was it because of me?” Ben asks and I sigh and shake my head. “No it isn’t because of you it is because of me. I suppose I can tell you now since after tomorrow everyone will know anyway. My alpha is kicking me out. He is a proud man and takes high pride in his pack and when something isn’t as it should be, like a wolfless girl, he turns them rogue. But he knows that I already have my wolf and is still going to kick me out if I don’t shift. But our Luna did not know about my wolf and so she made him change his mind a little. So instead of turning me rogue tomorrow on my birthday, it will happen the day after tomorrow. Yay for me.” I explained and jumped out of my seat as a ringing of growls were heard. It wasn’t just one loud growl but seven of them as I turned around toward the forest and saw six more well built men that looked yummy enough to eat. “That’s outrageous” one of them said

“Completely, we must tell the prince” “Or the king” “What kind of alpha can do this to their own.pack member?” “Okay, stop. You guys are scaring Nora.” Ben said and shook his head. “I’m fine, thank you. May I know your names so I can check the list, please.” I say and bring out the list as the other guys approach. “Sure, no problem but is there something wrong with your wolf? A usual wolf would be showing signs of submission right about now, especially since we are so many at one place.” One of the men asks. He is really hot. “I don’t know. I haven’t shifted yet.” I shrug “Hmm okay, anyway my name is Daniel. These two are twins, Andrei and Grey, they are warriors. Linus, Lukas and Anton are warriors in training. Then there are three more coming, Tristan, Fred and Nick along with the prince.” Daniel says with a wide smile. “Okay so we have the beta, the gamma, two warriors, three warriors in training present. Then a beta in training and the delta along with Tristan and the prince are coming along. What is Tristan’s rank?” I say while I make some notes on the list. As I look up I notice all of them staring at me. “Nora is cool, she has everything under control here. Tristan doesn’t have a rank, no wait I guess he would be the prince’s personal assistant.” Ben says while laughing. “Great, then I have everything. So the ball is tomorrow night, what do you guys want to do before then?” I ask and look at them. “Well what do you suggest then, Nora?” Daniel asks and winks at me. “Well we do have a big forest and there is a pool right here” I begin to say but stop as the guys begin to laugh. I look between them confused. “What?” ask them “Well Daniel is flirting with you and your suggestions were all things where we need to undress so..” The guy named Grey says and smiles at me while pointing at Daniel. Daniel looks really happy but I can see he is blushing slightly. Cute.

I blush way too hard now as I can feel my cheeks getting hot. “Well..” Then I remember what Emily told me before and I become sad once more. Ben touches my arm and looks at me concerned. “It’s nothing. Just something a girl told me earlier came into my mind. That nobody would want me since I’m very well trained for a female wolf and I also have a very large and ugly scar on my back.” I sigh and look down on the grass. I feel a couple of strong arms around me and I look up in Daniel’s gray eyes. “You are beautiful Nora, don’t let anyone tell you anything else, okay?” Daniel says and I nod. I “Well then I guess we should let Nora go home and we should unpack and then go for a run. Perhaps Nora wants to come over and perhaps swim a bit tomorrow or we can play some in the playroom?” Ben says and looks at me. “Sure I can come by tomorrow if everyone wants to since I am probably the only one that won’t run away from you guys. So if you want to I can show you around tomorrow?! | say and smile, hoping really hard that they will say yes. “That would be so great” Ben says and the rest of the guys nod in agreement. “Wait. What about your celebration then?” Daniel asks and I look at him. “What celebration?” I ask in confusion. “Yours of course. Your birthday is tomorrow right?” Anton says. “Oh! Well we don’t celebrate our birthdays. We celebrate when we get our wolves and shifts. Also when we find our mate or when we get a new rank in the pack or so.” I explain and tilt my head to the side. And once more the guys growled but I just shook my head and smiled and took a step back from Daniel’s embrace. “Well can’t you guys tell me how you usually celebrate your birthdays then?” I say and smile,

wondering what they do. differently. “Oh well, you do know that we are immortal right? so after the first 100 years we don’t get the huge celebrations but usually we get cake and some gifts and a smaller party.” Ben explains. “I know you guys are immortal. But why do you get gifts?” I wonder and I really don’t get that. “What do you mean why? We get gifts because it’s our birthday and the people want to celebrate that.” Linus says and frowns. “Yeah sure but I have never received a gift before so I don’t get it? I mean our celebrations are cake and getting food first.” I say and shrug And once again all the guys are staring at me and I sigh. “Okay, well we definitely need to show you a proper celebration, perhaps next year then. Anyway usually the guys go for a hunt and end up in a stripclub later on. The girls, well the few fated mates that we have in the kingdom usually go shopping for stuff. But they go all in with the presents and cakes and other stuff like that.” The twins, Andrei and Grey, explain. I stare at them thinking it would be nice if I also got celebrations like that, just once. I slowly nod my head and smile a bit. Who am I kidding? I am going to be a rogue, not a part of the lycan kingdom. Sigh. “Well I need to go now but I will come back tomorrow. Oh and by the way, if you do take a run in the forest it is free play since the alpha has forbidden everyone else to go near this part of the forest and I told Ben about the boundaries.” I explain while I walk toward the mansion. “Okay we will try not to leave here then. But can I get your phone number so we can reach you in case of an emergency?” Ben asks and I tilt my head. “I don’t have a phone? what is it by the way?” I ask and feel even more confused than ever. Ben and the other guys look at me like I have grown an extra head or something. “Oh, well, how do you guys communicate with each other then?” Ben asks and scratches his head. “Mindlink” I answer him and shrug. “But we aren’t a part of this pack so we can’t mindlink with you” Daniel says and looks sad. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Don’t tell anyone about this please but I can actually mindlink with everyone I have touched once. “I say and look down. Missing the knowing look between Ben and Daniel. “Well then, since we will keep your secret close to our hearts, you can go home now, Nora. But I will miss you the entire time we are apart” Daniel says and waves. I blush at him but go home.
