Return Of The Lycan Queen Chapter 26: A Commoners' Meal
ELVA’S POVThere were only three feelings in me as I stood by the balcony waiting for Lu’s return. He had gone into town to buy some of the specially curated street meals which Father never allowed into the palace. But Lu had his way of sneaking it in, then we’d eat it at the roof of the castle.I tried hard to listen to the good voice in me as the three feelings currently swimming in my mind were all negative. Betrayal, hurt, rage. I needed somewhere to expend all that vex.How could Darian blindly overlook how far I had gone for him and smooch with Selena? I thought he said there was nothing between the two of them. Men could be such liars. Maybe he was furious just because he didn’t get what he wanted from me.He made me feel like he was a better person than Norlan. But now, here he was, cheating on me with someone I could call my sister.I could feel my chest knotting from my struggle to suppress the anger burning in me, the anger fueled by that feeling of betrayal.I knew what to
Return Of The Lycan Queen Chapter 27: The Catch
ELVA’S POVElva!Elva!Elva!“Wake up, Elva!” I heard Mum’s voice as I felt her hand tapping me rapidly.I opened my eyes and saw her face looking down at me.“What are you doing sleeping on the floor?” She asked me with curiosity all in her eyes.I glanced left and right. Seeing my footwear and the leg of my bedframe close to my head, I could ask myself the same question she’d just asked me. What was I doing on the floor?“I&r
Return Of The Lycan Queen Chapter 28: The Party
ELVA’S POV“My King, together with the rest of the hunting squad, our catch this evening is dedicated to your biological daughter, the princess behind the veil,” Kaska said.I felt something like a stinging sensation coming from Selena’s direction. And when I looked, she was quietly crumpling her fist up, veins popping out on the back of her slender palm. She did it with so much vex and force that one of her long nails broke. I shuddered immediately, making sure that she didn’t notice that I was looking at her.Kaska continued, “And in response to the privilege you’ve given me tonight, I want to ask that a party be thrown tonight in honor of the princess with one of these big fishes we caught. I hope I’m not being selfish.”“Not at all,” Father smiled at him, then turned to everyone else, “A party it is tonight! Every one of you present here should go home and prepare. The cooks will get the meals and drinks ready in two hours' time.”The hunters began to leave the castle. I watched K
Return Of The Lycan Queen Chapter 29: A Rampage
ELVA’S POVI don’t know why, but I found my feet sweeping into motion the moment I saw Darian.“Darian!” I cried from the distance between us.He spread his arms out and we clashed into a tight hug. He lifted me and spun me around in the air before bringing me down. Then, we hugged once again, to the surprise of everyone in the room, including Father.“I like your veil,” he said to me.“Er…”But he was quick to notice the reason for that.“I know,” he said, “I can’t wait to see your beautiful face once they’re gone.”“Darian… I missed you so much!” I cried, hugging him again.“Phew!” he heaved out a sigh of relief, “I almost thought you’d never talk to me again.”“Save that part for later. I’ll still punish you for what you did,” I frowned playfully, “but for now, I’m glad that you’re back.”“Actually, I came here because there was something I needed to negotiate with your Father,” he said, his countenance switching to a serious one.“What is that?” I asked him.*“My Father is sick,
Return Of The Lycan Queen Chapter 30: A Phenomenon
ELVA’S POVThe Lycan king goes berserk from time to time due to how long he has been away from the battlefield. Bothered that his enemies must have deemed him weak now, his power goes out of control on certain nights and he transforms to his full form, lurking about to find any threat and destroy it. But the problem is that when his power goes out of control, it is impossible for him to identify between his enemy and his foes, so he destroys anyone in sight. Only his Luna can confront him because when he sees her he sees himself.“Is that a curse?” I asked Lu.We had both been up throughout the night. I was barely able to sleep hearing that my Father had gone berserk and could even kill me if his eyes fell on me.“It’s not a curse,” Lu answered, “it’s a phenomenon. He’s a Lycan and embodies power ten times greater than what a normal werewolf would. Such power is not meant for sitting on the throne; it’s meant to be used on the battlefield.”“Oh, I see,” I said. A loud yawn escaped my
Return Of The Lycan Queen Chapter 31: Wake the Sleeping Wolf
ELVA’S POVDarian returned the next morning after he had taken the warriors to their pack and left them to be led by his younger brother whom he claimed was a better warrior and battle strategist than him.Since that night he told Father that he was immortal, my mind had been burning with numerous questions to ask him. I was yet to swallow the fact that the man I had kissed and fallen in love with was immortal. It felt like a foggy dream in which I was yet to be sure of what I had seen.Darian came with a horse-drawn cart that had all the luggage he needed for his one-month stay in the castle. The guards helped him take them upstairs, and right after that, he went to have a bath. When I heard that he was done bathing, I decided to go and see him. However, the moment I opened my door and was about to step a foot out of my room, Mum met me in the corridor.“Perfect timing,” Mum said, “I was about to check if you were in your room.”I stuttered, “Any pr…problem, mum?”“Have you forgotten
Return Of The Lycan Queen Chapter 32: An Internal Dispute
DARIAN’S POV“I don’t want to wear a veil on my birthday,” Elva cried in my arms. “I’m trying my best, Darian. Why can’t I just shift for once?”“I’ll clock twenty soon. There has never been a late bloomer who stayed up to twenty before finally being able to shift. Am I cursed?!”I wrapped my arm over her shoulder, hoping to bring comfort to her spirit. Then I whispered to her, “It will all be fine, Elva. There’s still hope.”Last night was the most embarrassing moment of our lives. The king’s words came harsh on both of us. If only I had known that he would lose his temper to the extent of using those harsh words on his own daughter. To make matters worse, the queen was also on his side.“There’s nothing we can do about this, Darian. Just admit it. I’m not a werewolf,” She said, sniffing back some tears that were about to burst out.How could I tell her that I was even feeling the same way at this point? I’d tried everything I could. That was even the reason I slept with her, hoping
Return Of The Lycan Queen Chapter 33: My Fucking Birthday!
ELVA’S POV“It’s the eve of my birthday. I’ve borne this shame of not being able to shift for years. I’ve been through so many heartbreaking experiences and I almost took my own life this year. Moon Goddess, if really I am one of your children, answer my prayer and release my wolf for me,” I prayed as tears trickled down my cheeks.“Are you praying to the Moon Goddess for your inability to shift?” I heard Selena sneer from behind me.I stood up from the bedside where I knelt. Staring at her with tears in my eyes, I challenged her.“What is wrong with you? You used to be so nice to me. I took you as my own sister. What is wrong with you, Selena?”“Hold it right there! I’m the one who took you as my own sister. I’m the one who welcomed you here with open arms only for you to go behind trying to take everything that belongs to me,” she said.“I swear to the Moon Goddess, I’ve never for one day had such thoughts about you,” I said, more tears rolling out, “I cherished you. When I had no c
