Lycan King’s Nemesis

GWEN??

“I’m telling you, Tyler, Abby told me herself before I came here,” I said as I attacked my dummy, wrapping the material I used to protect my knuckles and went in again. “I can’t believe he would want to do that.”

“Well, he hasn’t given us the order, yet,” Tyler said. “As their chief, he will confide in me first before going ahead with anything.”

I was breathing hard by now qns my head is starting to swim. I faltered and nodded at him. “Have you gone to the palace today?”

“No.”

“Then, that’s why. I came here immediately after I left him.”

“I will be going there in the next,” he looked at his time, “… ten minutes.”

I nodded, and picked my bottle. “What’s the next thing on our plans?”

“I have all the itineraries ready. I have to ask the King his course of action before we leave this evening.”

“Okay, we have to get there on time, speak to them and be back before dawn. Ashton won’t be coming to my room tonight so he won’t notice.”

“How did you know that?”

I hesitated as the scene from earlier flashed through my head. “Let’s just say we had a little squabble in which I specifically warned him about coming close to my room.”

“Oh, still in the fight?” We started walking out of the training ground.

I looked at my hand as I removed the band. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

“I understand.” He stopped when we reached the car that brought me. “Don’t you think you need a break from him?”

I flicked my eyes to him. His hard was matted to his skull from heat, and his eyes narrowed due to the sun. His skin looked like bronze and the obsidian now seemed darker. Tyler is my friend, I have to keep reminding myself that. He might be too sweet and kind, still, I can’t see him as anything beyond my friend. I am not like Ashton. I intend to keep you the vows I made to him.

I looked away as the driver approached from his training. “I can’t, Tyker. I made a promise to his mother to be the Queen to these people and also took a vow before the priestess to love and be loyal to him. Until I can’t take it anymore, I intend to try.”

He nodded and handed me my bag he had helped me take at the training ground. “Whatever you need, whatever it is, just let me know.”

“Thank you.”

“Will we see later?”

I looked towards the driver that greeted us before entering the car, I came closer to him and whispered, “I will meet you at your place by twelve midnight and we will go from there. Be ready and wait. And make sure to ask the King a lot of questions when you meet him later.”

He nodded wordlessly and helped me into the car that was open, shutting the door after me. He waved at me as the car pulled away.

I relaxed back, drinking once more from the water bottle.

After I left Ashton, I met Abby on my way to my room and she told me Ashton had decided to wage war against the humans. I didn’t like that as I have never liked anything that has to do with violence

The season is just beginning and we have a game ahead of us and if the Lycqn time correlates with ours, not sooner than later, we are to approach the full moon. Putting all these into consideration, I can’t just stand and watch him go into war.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Not when it can be solved with diplomacy.

I hear that humans are chaotic and can be unreasonable most of the time due to their behavioural limitations. They are not like us that are endowed with abilities that help us achieve certain things. This makes them act out of emotions and sentiments most of the time as adverse to logic.

I will talk to them. Tyler had the lead to the people that took the woman. As I found out humans are always hunting for supernatural creatures for experimental purposes and that is why I have to talk to them. We are not lab rats and deserve respect just as much as we respect their existence.

As long as I have lived I have never heard that any member of the supernatural family hunted for humans. This is why I don’t support Ashton’s decision.

I entered the palace and went straight to my room. There is no need going to him anymore since he won’t listen to me, not to mention he had his mistress with him.

“Gwen, are you there?”

That was definitely, Abby. “Abby?”

“Are you in the shower?” She queried, coming close.

“Yes, just hive me a minute.”

I quickly rinsed off the bubbles and came out of the bathroom. “Abby, are you okay?”

“Yes, I came to bring you down myself after you missed coming down for dinner yesterday.”

I grinned. “I was going to come down by the way.”

I changed and we made our way down.

“Have you spoken to Ashton?” She asked.

“No, and you?”

“K went to see him and he asked that bitch to kick me out, can you imagine that?”

“Your brother asked Merit to kick you out?” My eyes were wide. “I said that she cast a black spell on him.”

“She doesn’t need to cast any spell on him, Gwen. My brother is very stubborn and doesn’t listen to anyone. Only my mother bend him.”

I already know that. Big I don’t want us to involve the Queen. She will think I am incapable.

I sighed as we neared the dining room. “I have a plan, Abby, I didn’t want to tell you, but I will only because I am trusting you to be loyal to me and not tell your brother.”

“What is it?”

We hung back outside the dining room doors and I faced her. “I and Tyler are visiting the human territory tonight to negotiate for the captive’s freedom.”
