Their Lycan Queen by Foxtail

Chapter 78
Ares POV
I heard everything and saw everything that happened at the border through uncle Dave’s eyes. Mia died by the hands of her biological mother and then she cast a curse on Nora that would hurt us as well but something is bothering me.
Luca has been attacking the castle since my dad and the army left for the border. If he attacks he must think that we still have Nora here but we don’t. So he couldn’t have taken her away and Mia seemed surprised by the fact that she was gone but..
Melinda was so calm about that matter, did she hide her? If sø then I trust Melinda for keeping Nora safe. But right now we are still under attack and I have mindlinked dad about that and they are on their way home again with.. Felix, ugh..
“Prince Ares, the fountain in the garden has been destroyed and for some reason it’s raining fire” Anna comes running to let me know.
I turn and look out of the window and see that she is right. Fine, when will the water turn into blood and where are the freaking toads?
Dad and Helios are an hour away and I have no ideas for what to do. I wish that Nora was here, I really want her calming words and I need my lycan to wake up. I don’t like to feel weak.
Melinda’s barriers around the castle are strong but there are still people in the village and the packs in our kingdom. The witches are all at the border except for Maya but I want to break her neck if she comes here. No, I will break her neck if she dares to step foot inside this castle.
“Prince Ares?” Anna says-and 1 sigh and shake my head slowly.
“All we can do is to wait him out and deal with the aftermath later on” I say and shrug
“Is that really all?” Daniel say as he comes walking slowly towards us
“Are you still here?” I ask and lift an eyebrow.

“Yes, I can’t leave the castle” he say and I tilt my head
*Is Nora still here?* I ask him in the mindlink and Daniel smiles
and nods
*Yes, Melinda hid her but I am not sure where, I just get a general feeling* Daniel says and I look around.
*You won’t find her that easy, trust me I have already tried* he snickers
*Actually, Melinda taught me how to seek out others auras even when they are invisible or using a cloaking spell* | answer and this time Daniel tilts his head
Is-she teaching you? But you hate lesson and studying* he answers and stares at me like I have grown an extra head.
*Never said I did but I do hate politics and internal affairs and other boring stuff. I have studied only things that l’am interested in. Like warrior stuff and some other things* I
answer and chuckles at him as he nods for himself.
Ah, I found her. Nora.
*You found her? You have a silly smile on your face* Daniel says and I look at him and give him a mini nod.
I walk towards the kitchen and notice a crystal in the kitchen lamp and I smile. Melinda did a good job in hiding Nora. I make some coffee and Anna comes in with Daniel.
“You guys hungry? Oh, who am I kidding, you are always hungry” Anna laughs and Daniel snicker.
“How about some leftovers? We have a lot of those these days. Beef stew and rice, tomato soup, ribs, pancakes, waffles, pasta bolognese..” Anna starts counting things in the fridge but me and Daniel don’t say anything and just like the entire population inside the castle heard her, they are starting to gather inside the kitchen.
“We will set the table” four guards say and start to take the plates and glasses out of the cup boards.
I smile and hop up and sit on a kitchen island, watching over everyone as they gather to help Anna with the food. It feels pleasant as everyone was ‘scared just a few moments ago and now it’s a happy and homey feeling in the kitchen.
“Hey, Daniel, what about you and I go and look if there is someone upstairs hiding?” I say and Daniel nods.
We walk out of the kitchen and start to walk around the castle looking inside every room for more scared people. We find the doctor in his office and he is happy to coma and eat so we send him downstairs.
3/5
I feel like Daniel is hiding something so I simply ask him.
“What is going on with you?” I ask Daniel and he stops and sighs.
