Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 60

Helios POV

At Mariah’s

I literally threw up and Melinda jumped out of the way.

“Are you okay? I bet you weren’t ready to see my mom naked huh?” Melinda laughs

“No and that’s not why I threw up actually. Your magic made my stomach turn. “I say and cough.

“Oh right my transport magic is a bit different since I use air and electricity, sorry. I should have warned you” Melinda pats on my shoulder.

“It’s okay but your mom seemed surprised enough” I say and notices that Mariah hasn’t moved an inch.

“She is never surprised and when she is up to something she doesn’t stop for anything in the world. She seems to be in a trance anyway.” Melinda say and I look away from Mariah.

“So you have unlocked your seer powers, finally” Mariah says but I refuse to look her way.

“Yes, mom.” And I think I foretold something sinister” Melinda says and leaves my side.

“Hmm, I will go and get my bathrobe since the prince is uncomfortable with nakedness” Mariah says and walks away while Melinda comes back.

Here, some water” Melinda says and I take the glass and drink.

Úgh. Some aftertaste huh.

“Thanks” I say and give the glass back just to notice that the glass is full again but with a blue liquid. I look up at Melinda in confusion.

“It will help when I take you back to the castle” Melinda say and I nod and drink everything in one go and Melinda just

stares at me

“What?” I ask her and she just shakes her head

“Nothing, it will be fine, I hope” she says and takes the glass from me.

“You should have drunk that slowly but it will be fine” Mariah says and I dare to glance at her just to see that she has a dress on now.

“Yes, yes, you are happy now that I am not naked anymore” Mariah says and waves her hand at me.

“So what was this sinister prophecy then?” Mariah asks and looks at Melinda but Melinda looks at me.

“One shall betray and one shall rise. The future queen will doom us all” I say and Melinda sigh

“Oh, that was one hell of a prophecy, my daughter,” Mariah says and sits down.

“Well it’s rather simple. One will betray someone and another will rise from the betrayal and then the future queen will doom us all ” Mariah say and shrugs

“And you think that is good?” I ask her

“Are you crazy?” But the prophecy doesn’t tell who it is that is betraying us or who will rise and who the future queen is. It doesn’t even say if it’s now or in the future. Prophecies are tricky little things you see” Maria says and I nods

So basically the prophecies are humbugs, urgh.

“Tristan!” I say and Melinda looks at me funny. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Your cousin?” Maria asks.

“Yes.” We made the blood oath where Daniel will always put Nora’s safety in first hand but when Tristan put his blood in the cup, the tea turned purple and then Daniel did it and it turned warm orange” Melinda explains

Mariah’s face turned white

“PURPLE?” she almost yells

“Please tell me you didn’t go through with the oath?” she asks and looks at me

“Well, we did, Ben went in and became a keeper?” I say with even more confusion

“Mom, is something wrong?” Melinda asks.

“I need to meet this Tristan boy” Mariah says and looks like something is destroyed.

“Sure he is in the castle right now” I say confused

“What kind of herbs did you use?” Mariah asks Melinda and she looks down.

“Lavender, chamomile, fennel, basil and lovage and a pinch of cin namon” Melinda say and I look at her disgusted

“That’s good but it shouldn’t make the tea purple. Your cousin is he..?” Maria asks

“No he isn’t royal from this kingdom but I thought about it and I think his father is of royal blood from another kingdom.” I say and think.

Tristan’s dad died before Tristan was born so it’s hard to say who he was but I remember asking my aunt when I was smaller and she answered that he was a banned prince from another kingdom.

“Tristan’s mother said once that his father was a banned prince from another kingdom” I say and look at them.

“Well since you probably used royal blood in the oath but you said you had a keeper, this Ben?” Mariah says and looks at us and Melinda nods.

“He is elder Willam’s son” Melinda says with a wink and I see

Mariah blush.

Yuck.

“I will come by later to talk with this Tristan person but now go back and have fun tomorrow. Oh Helios by the way, watch out on your left side, nasty bruise otherwise” Maria warns me with

a smile

Right, we decided for the tournament to be held tomorrow.

“Come on now Helios, we should get going now” Melinda says and holds out her hand and I swallow and reluctantly take it.

— Back to the tournament

Uncle Dave decided on a break for some food and drinks and that was needed. There have been ten pairs now. And everyone has had a winner. And now for the break, sandwiches and water, perfect to keep going later.

I go over to Melinda and Ares at the same time that Daniel comes over and we just look at him and he sighs. He takes a water bottle and a sandwich and goes back into the castle.

“He doesn’t seem that happy about the oath” Tristan comes over laughing.

“But Miss Melinda, I have a question about it. What happens if one of us can’t uphold the promise?” Tristan asks and I look at him and then at Melinda

“Easy, the one that can’t uphold the oath will get punished” Melinda shrugs

I wonder what she means by punishment. But she didn’t say anything more. I look up and notice that Anna has come outside with a book in her hand. She looks so happy even though her face has scars.

But the scars only give her a look of experience and she looks more wise in a way. Melinda said that she would be a bit

different after the puppet spell but not that different. Sometimes she can stand and stare into a wall like she sees something that isn’t there.

Uncle Dave walks slowly towards us and Anna flinches but stands still and smiles at him. They have had a strained relationship since then but they can talk and laugh together but she flinches when he is too close and he can’t touch her

without getting a scream.

“Hello miss Anna” uncle Dave says and Anna tilts her head. She opens her mouth to say something but not a sound comes out and she turns on her heel and walks away.

Then she stops and turns her head to look over her shoulder.

“Dave, can you come with me please?” she say with a nervous smile

Dave walks after her and we smile at each other and shake our heads but a good five minutes goes by and a high shrill scream is heard.

Oh come on, give me just one day off!
