Chapter 9
|| MONICA's POV ||
Fuck..that stupid bitch..
I winced in pain as the cold water met my face. The healing was taking time as my wolf was angry and distracted. It wanted to slap Agatha back but I didn't want to bring fury on me.
It was another night in this castle. Once again, I headed out of my room to meet Carter. I had to know what they were going to do with the news. I didn't see King Lucius around the castle today. It made me wonder but he was a king and I had no questions on that part.
I made my way straight to the spot where Carter was standing. He looked happy when I went closer. He bowed at my presence and greeted me with another letter from King Zion,
" My lady! Great job. King is pleased with you. You have proven your loyalty by dropping the news to him."
I grasped the letter without opening it. Curiosity fluttered in my stomach as I couldn't help but ask,
" What are you guys going to do now? Stop him from entering or file a complaint against him?"
Mischief flooded in Carter's eyes. He replied, pulling up his lips into a knowing smirk,
" None of them! King Zion thinks that it is the biggest opportunity to kill him off. King Lucius is alone. In our territory, his power is limited. Our king would not miss this opportunity."
My stomach tightened into a knot. I didn't think that they would be so fast in taking such a big step. I muttered, my voice trembling,
" You... mean..King Zion..is gone to kill King Lucius?"
Carter hummed softly and waited for me to read the letter. Something tight knotted in my heart. My wolf was howling in pain. It wasn't ready to accept the death of her mate. My heart was getting heavy although I had barely spent time with King Lucius.
Something snapped inside me as I blurted out subconsciously,
" Bring him."
Carter widened his eyes, shaking his head,
" NO! Are you crazy? You will get caught."
I urged, grabbing onto his arms,
" Please! Bring me to King Asher. He.. he isn't doing right. We need to talk."
Carter kept refusing, doubt storming in his grey eyes,
" You are being unreasonable, Lady. You can't do anything and I can't take the risk of bringing you to the place."
I confronted him with an animalistic growl,
" Either take me or fight me."
He looked into my green eyes deeply. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded his head in agreement and replied weakly,
" I. I will.. Just remember..if you get caught, don't take our name."
I gave up on my wolf, following her damn wishes, and followed Carter to the place where King Lucius had gone.
|| ZION's POV ||
" Is he here already?"
I asked my beta, Edmund in a cold voice. It was useful to send Darya to Lucius's Castle. The news came pretty fast that Lucius was in my territory. It was against the rules and terms that we set before. I was going to hold him responsible for breaking the law.
Edmund hummed softly, his eyes on our raven group of wolves that circled the witch's house,
" Yes! Our spies from the trees have confirmed that they saw him entering. But I couldn't understand why he needed to visit a witch."
As a Lycan, it was considered a great shame to seek help from the witch. I wondered why Lucius had gone to this extent by coming here. It was good for me since he was barely alone. My blood boiled in anger at the thought that Monica was probably fucking him.
God! This woman drove me crazy!
I rejected her instantly but her thoughts were everywhere in my mind. Her smell, the taste of her pussy, was imprinted in my memory. Her absence was so strong that I didn't fuck any other woman after she moved to Lucius's Castle.
More growls came from my raven group of wolves. They were surrounding the hut of the witch. It was a hard deal to work with this witch since they were fucking loyal to those who were contracted to them. I asked Edmund again, lighting up a cigarette,
" Did you ask the witch why he came here?"
Edmund let out an annoying growl, rubbing his jaw,
" Yes, but that fucking bitch refused to tell. She said that she wouldn't break the business deal."
I huffed in anger and frustration. I didn't care why he was here as long as I could kill him. He wasn't supposed to be the king. It was all supposed to be mine only. Edmund asked with a little hesitation,
" Are we going to.. kill him now?"
A playful smirk tugged on my lips. My memory flashed back to the time when my mother was cruelly tortured before her death. I wouldn't let this bastard go so easily. I shook my head, enjoying the moment,
" Nope! Let him fight first. It's not much joy to see him dying so fast."
Edmund chuckled next to me as we watched our group, preparing to attack the hut. In a snap of moments, a big black lycan and a grey one came out of the hut. My grin grew wider since I knew the faces behind the beasts. Our group attacked them together and the fight began within a few moments.
The group members stood no chance in front of Viktor. I couldn't blame them since the only person who could kill him was me. Edmund was smirking next to me as well. I was so engrossed in watching that I didn't notice a presence behind us.
A sweet, female voice rang behind me,
" Your Majesty! Please.. stop this."
I whipped my head back to see Monica panting. She was sitting on Carter's wolf who possibly led her here. Her eyes went wide to see the fight, a few feet away from us. A low rumble escaped my lips, drinking in her expression,
" Fuck! MONICA! What are you doing here?"
She wasn't supposed to be here. But her sudden arrival reminded me how much I missed her. She jumped down from Carter before coming up to me,
" Your Majesty! Listen to me. Don't kill him..now.. Please.. You have to win the council first. Killing him isn't a solution. How will you explain yourself?"
Monica's words made sense but I hated how she was worrying for another man. I grasped her hands and pushed her towards the woods, away from my pack members. She whimpered in pain but didn't fight back. I asked through my gritted teeth, pressing her against a tree,
" What the fuck are you bluffing? Are you here because you worry about him? Did you get whipped by him within the last few days?"
Her response came out stuttering, her voice dropping low in fear,
" Nooo...I was just.. trying to save you from trouble. I am yours loyally. How can I worry about him?"
Jealousy burned me like an incurable disease. My eyes shifted from her doe eyes to the curves of her body. God! They fucking gave her a servant's clothes. I let out a rumble, pressing my body close to her,
" Lift your clothes. Hands on the tree, Monica."
I couldn't possibly be crazy for my slave, right? Even though she was speaking the truth, I was fucking jealous that she had some feelings for Luciys. I had to make sure that it was only me who was in her mind, in her body, and in her sweet little pussy.
Monica hesitated, guilt swimming in her ocean eyes. I never saw the hesitation before which angered me more. I asked with a ferocious growl, stepping closer,
" What happened to you, Monica? SPEAK!"
