The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 12

“Well you called me here for a reason, so let me help you unpack” Adonis said, smirking at me.

“What?” My mind was all over the place.

“Unpack? Unless you‘ve decided that you didn‘t need my help after all. Then I‘ll just go.” Adonis

shrugged his shoulders.

“Wait! I do need your help to put the heavy stuff away,” I rambled.

Since when do I ramble? Oh right, since I found out Adonis was my mate.

Adonis just stood there and smirked. “First you claim me as your mate, and now you call me strong.

Best day ever.”

“I didn‘t call you strong!” My cheeks felt warm.

“Maybe not directly, but you implied it.” He smiled.

I rolled my eyes and pointed toward the boxes.

“Right, let‘s unpack then,” Adonis said.

It took us about half an hour to unpack all my things. Obviously Adonis wasn‘t allowed to unpack my

clothes or undergarments, much to his dismay

Men, they have a one–track mind.

Once we unpacked, Adonis took me downstairs where Gabe and Lexi were.

“Wow, I didn‘t think we‘d see the two of you today.” Gabe winked.

“As if you and Lexi weren‘t bad when you first met. In fact, if I recall correctly, then you two didn‘t come

out of your room for three days,” Adonis replied.

Lexi blushed and Gabe pushed Adonis.

“Okay, enough. What should we do now?” Lexi asked.

“How about a tour? I don‘t really know where anything is in this massive place,” I suggested.

Lexi‘s eyes lit up. “That‘s such a good idea! Of course you wouldn‘t know where everything is! Let‘s go,

guys.”

Okay, Aarya, this is the time you can look for potential exit points. Take notes, this information is

useful.

I didn‘t really pay much attention to Lexi‘s explanation as she took me on the tour. The men were

trailing behind.

What I noticed on this tour was that every exit was guarded Adonis was

clearly very strict about who enters and who leaves.

For some reason the thought of not being able to leave didn‘t make me sad. The very fact I was

thinking about leaving was now causing me sadness.

A few hours in Adonis‘s presence and I was feeling like this? The mate bond was something very

powerful indeed.

Lexi showed me where the kitchen was, and as we entered, many people left. These people stopped in

their steps and bowed to me. What the hell? I didn’t want to be bowed to, it made me feel weird.

Lexi sensed my discomfort and pulled me ahead of the boys to whisper, “I know you‘re not used to

people bowing to you, but it‘s their way of showing their respect to you. Aarya, these people have

prayed for you to arrive and help their king.”

Her words stuck with me. Adonis was alone for so long; his people must have given up hope as well. I

guess Adonis finding me was the best thing for him and his people.

Wow, I was turning into a softy, but I wasn‘t mad about that.

Once the tour was done, Adonis and I said our goodbyes. Adonis told me he‘d meet me upstairs after

he‘d ordered food for us.

I hugged Lexi before heading back to the room. Adonis‘s heavenly scent lingered in the air, and I

breathed it all in. His scent warmed me; it was an amazing feeling

Hunter‘s necklace caught my eye, and I walked over to it. If only he had given it to me sooner, I thought

as I ran my hands over it.

If he had returned my feelings sooner, then I wouldn‘t be in this mess.

However, something deep inside me told me that Hunter was never the one for me, that he was never

going to keep me eternally happy.

Sighing, I picked up the necklace to chuck in the bin. As much as I didn‘t want to, it was for the best. I

didn‘t need any reminders of my past lying around here.

Before I could chuck it in the bin, Adonis walked in and his gaze immediately narrowed on the

necklace.

“Why are you holding that thing?” he asked, closing the door.

“Well, I was...,” I didn‘t get a chance to reply as Adonis stepped even closer to me, his chest rising up

and down.

“Why are you sad over this necklace?” His deep voice caused sparks to shoot down my spine.

“I am not sad over this necklace. In fact, I was going to ” Again, my sentence remained unfinished, this All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

time because I looked into Adonis‘s eyes.

His stunning hazel eyes were switching to black. I knew what that meant His lycan was in control. =

My heart was racing faster and faster, but not from nerves, from excitement. I blame my wolf for that.

“Tell me the truth. I saw the way that boy looked at you,” Adonis spat.

Oh shit, don‘t tell me he figured out that Hunter is the one who broke my heart. My mouth opened,

ready to tell a lie, but one look into Adonis‘s eyes shut it real quick.

I felt compelled to tell him the truth.

“Yes, Hunter is the one who broke my heart. But now all he does is make me feel uncomfortable. I hate

being in the same room with him anymore.

This necklace was only in my hands because I was going to chuck it in the bin,” I explained.

The necklace fell from my hand and dropped into the bin.

Without wasting a second, Adonis picked me up and placed me on top of the dresser. He buried his

face in my neck, causing me to gasp.

That small action of his made the desire for me to run my hands through is hair grow.

My hands found Adonis‘s soft hair on their own accord. Adonis let out a

groan. Gosh, why was that so x?

That sound caused my core to tighten, and I clenched my thighs. Adonis would not smell my desire,

although he was making it hard to disguise it.

Lips trailed from my jaw to my neck and I closed my eyes, relishing in the contact. I gasped as I felt him

nip at my neck.

“If you think about running away, I will find you, and when I do, I‘ll show you why people have

nightmares about me,” Adonis whispered in my ear.

He walked out of the room leaving me flustered and incredibly turned on....
