Chapter 36

The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 36 “Don’t do it, little one. You’ve teased me enough today,” Adonis growled.

“The king can’t handle some teasing?” I gasped.

Adonis’s eyes narrowed. “You’re going to be in so much trouble.”

“Whatever.” I flipped my hair back “That’s it.” Adonis lunged for me I guess I should backtrack a few hours to this morning. Waking up felt amazing. My whole body felt so much better, and it felt as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

Adonis buried his face into my hair and breathed in my scent.

“I don’t want to get up,” Adonis mumbled.

“Neither do I, but my parents are here. I want to spend some time with them before they go.”

Reluctantly, I detangled myself from Adonis’s warmth and headed to the bathroom to get ready.

When I headed downstairs, my parents and family were already sitting there and chatting.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Damien, Gabe, and Evan were also there.

“Morning.” I made my presence known.

“Morning, did you sleep well?” Evan asked, a teasing glint in his eyes.

“Better than you, clearly. Maybe next time you should actually sleep,” I joked.

Evan rolled his eyes, while Gabe and Damien laughed.

“I’m going to pretend I never heard that,” Sai mumbled.

“Love ya, big bro.” I laughed.

“Darling, we’re heading back after breakfast.” Mom smiled sadly.

“Darling, we’re heading back after breakfast.” Mom smiled sadly.

“What? Why not after lunch?” I asked.

“Oh, honey, we need to get back. Your father and brother have responsibilities that they can’t ignore.”

Mom came over to give me a hug.

I sighed, “I wish you could stay longer.”

“Next time,” Mom promised.

“You need to pay a visit next,” Dad teased.

“Oh hush. She’s the queen, much more responsibility than us,” Mom replied.

“Dad’s just messing, Mom.” I smiled.

“Just because you’re the queen doesn’t mean you can’t come to visit,” Sai chipped in “I can’t wait for you to leave.” I stuck my tongue out.

“Wow, Aarya, so mature.” Sai rolled his eyes.

tro “Ahh, the joys of having my kids back together.” Dad’s sarcasm caused the lycans to laugh.

Zoya sat there, sipping her coffee, her eyes full of laughter.

“What did I miss?” Adonis came down the stairs, his hair still wet from the shower How badly I wanted to run my hands through his hair. Damn it, I bet he did that on purpose. He knows I love his hair.

“Just regular sibling drama.” Damien laughed.

“Are you teasing your brother, little one?” Adonis came up and asked.

Of course he’d ask that. Probably trying to get revenge from yesterday.

“See, even your mate knows what a handful you are.” Sai looked smug.

“You want me to start exposing your secrets?” I asked, my hands on my hips.

Sai’s smug look dropped, and he looked at me in horror. “You wouldn’t.”

“Try me,” I fired back.

Dad took a sip from his coffee before replying, “Sai, you’re a grown-ass man. Stop teasing your sister, you know she’ll embarrass you.”

“Daddy’s little princess,” Sai mumbled into his cup of coffee.

Zoya patted his back but looked at me, laughing.

I decided not to say anything else, otherwise it would be Mom telling me off. We all know that moms do not hold back either.

“You know you’re my mate. You’re meant to be on my side.”(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) I glared at Adonis, shrugging his hand off my shoulder and going to sit next to my parents.

“Oh, Brother. Never piss off your mate. I’m sure that is basic knowledge.” Damien shook his head at Adonis.

Adonis didn’t seem fazed. Instead he had that wicked glint in his eyes.

I pretended to ignore Adonis as I ate breakfast with my family. Niya came down yawning and the boys didn’t miss the opportunity to tease Evan. Niya sat down next to me and downed a cup of coffee.

Someone had a long night. I tried but failed to hold in my laughter. Niya weakly glared at me, which caused me to laugh more.

“I think that’s our cue to leave,” Sai said, standing up.

“Already?” I couldn’t help the sadness in my voice.

“Oh, darling, we would stay longer if we could, but your brother is right. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)We should head off.” Mom sighed.

“Yeah, I guess so.” My happy mood disappeared.

SO I didn’t realize how much I missed my family until they had to leave again. After giving my family long hugs and promising them I’d come home. I watched the car leave Adonis tried to hold my hand, but I shrugged him off, going to Niya instead.

“It’s okay to be sad.” Niya comforted me.

“I miss them already.” I sighed.

Adonis held my hand and pulled me into his embrace. I breathed in his addictive scent and buried my face in his chest. Guess I couldn’t stay mad at him for long “Little one, I know this may not be the right time, but you should know. Bradley is dead.”

I looked up at Adonis, who showed no emotion, but I knew he was hurting inside.

“Good. He won’t be causing any more trouble for us,” I replied.

Adonis just nodded, bringing me back into his warm embrace.

“Hey.” A voice broke our embrace.

“Sophia?” I looked up and down for any signs that Bradley hurt her.

“I’m already healed,” she said.

I walked over to her, and she pulled me in for a hug.

“Oh God, I can’t tell you how worried I was.” My voice broke, and tears threatened to fall.

“Yeah, well, I’m angry with you,” she replied.

“What? Why?” I asked, confused.

“Because, Aarya, you were going to give yourself up for me. How stupid can you be?” Sophia shook her head.

“I told her not to,” Adonis chipped in.

“You can be angry at me, I don’t care. There was no other option, and I am the queen. Surely my decision shouldn’t be questioned.” The anger built up inside of me.

Sophia suddenly backed down, while the others looked at me, worried. Adonis stepped closer to me.

“Calm down.”

The anger disappeared, and I sighed.

“You know what, it’s been a long few days. Whatever has happened is done.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)We can’t change the past, so why talk about it?” I looked around at everyone.

“- You’re right. No more talking about it,” Niya agreed.

“I actually need to go into town. Come on, Evan.” Niya dragged Evan.

“I’ll join, get out of the palace,” Damien said.

“I’ll come too,” I chipped in.

“Nope, you’re busy today,” Adonis replied.

“What?” I looked at him, confused.

He didn’t answer me, just picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.

“Seriously? Put me down,” I growled.

OVE “Have fun, guys. My mate and I need to have a long conversation.” I could hear the smirk in his voice.

I heard the laughter of everyone while Adonis carried me back to our room.

“Fuck you,” I said, grumbling.

“That mouth of yours,” Adonis tutted before smacking my ass.

In v ass.

“Don’t do that,” I gasped.

“Why? Is it turning you on?” he asked.

I scoffed, “No, just don’t do it.”

Lies. Of course it was. Adonis would have known that anyway.

Adonis dumped me on the bed, but I didn’t give him the chance to do anything. I jumped up, the adrenaline pumping through my body.

Adonis smirked at me, his tongue ran over his lips. Fuck, I wanted to kiss them so badly.

“Want me to chase you?”

I walked over to Adonis and left small kisses on his face, never kissing his lips. Adonis groaned; his arms tightened around my waist.

“No, I want you to catch me,” I whispered in Adonis’s ear.

He clearly wasn’t expecting that. For a split second his arms loosened, and I took that opportunity to duck under him and run out of our room.

This time I ran through the palace before heading outside.

Adonis let out a growl, causing the hairs on my body to stand on end. My lycan and I were excited.

Giggling, I ran outside and swung myself up in a tree. Adonis ran straight past me, and I waited for a few seconds before quietly jumping down and running back inside.

Honestly I was just doing whatever came to me. I had no plan, but I found it was working in my favor.

Running straight back in my room, I dashed into my cupboard and found the piece of lingerie I was looking for.

As fast as I could, I put it on. It was a sexy black one-piece with a plunging neckline that went all the way down to just above my belly button. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)The lace detail was stunning I paired that with a silk robe and took out my hair, running my fingers through it.

I heard Adonis’s growl outside in the gardens, and a devious idea formed in my head I walked out on our balcony. Sure enough, Adonis was standing there, breathing heavily, his lycan clearly sniffing out where I was.

“Adonis,” I called.

“Like what you see?” I smirked.

Adonis growled and ran inside. A thrill of excitement rushed through me. I heard him shout, “No one on my floor. No one.”

I positioned myself by the balcony so it was like I was going to jump.

Adonis banged the door open, his eyes finding mine and lust filling them quickly “What happened? The king couldn’t find me?” I laughed.

“Come here, little one.” Adonis’s eyes didn’t leave mine.

“Hmm… no. I like it here. Thinking everyone should see what I’m wearing,” I joked.

“Come here,” Adonis said again, his voice deeper.

“Don’t you wanna play catch again?” Mischief glistened in my eyes.

“No, I want you here now,” Adonis growled.

“I think I want to play again.” I smirked.

“Don’t do it, little one. You’ve teased me enough today,” Adonis growled.

“The king can’t handle some teasing?” I gasped.

Adonis’s eyes narrowed. “You’re going to be in so much trouble.”

“Whatever.” I flipped my hair back.

“That’s it.” Adonis lunged for me.

And that is how I ended up in this situation. I don’t regret it. Not one bit.
