Chapter 20
Nora POV
The dreams were relentless as the king’s lycan forced me to sleep, I wasn’t with the queen anymore. My lycan sensed something and pulled me away from there and now I hear strange words in the darkness. The few words I pick up sound strange ” Omnia… Perias… Midaes..”
I don’t know what they mean but they feel familiar in some sense, strangely enough. A blinding light and a deafening sound can be heard when I suddenly open my eyes. The room I am laying in is destroyed but I can still see the outline of the room.
I sit up very slowly and notice that Daniel is standing upright in his lycan form, growling wildly but not moving at all. I stretch out my hand slowly and touch his fur on his back and he slowly turns his head my way and huffs.
“Is something wrong, Daniel?” I ask him and he gently lift me up from my bed and then walks out of the room. Through a couple of double doors to a little garden which is overgrown and I can feel my fingers twitch in anticipation of fixing it up.
I wonder if it was Helios that fixed me this room with a little garden to cheer me up from everything. But right now I am feeling very confused as I fell there is something off from Daniel. His steps are precise but I can feel him struggle with something so I gently place my hand over his heart and concentrate.
*Magic. The witches control him with the help of magic* Artemis growls.
I take away my hand and look up at Daniel and he looks down at me and then I see it, his eyes are clouded in a gray mist as they look down on mine.
“It’s okay, take me to them, and I promise you that I will make sure that they set you free from whatever spell they have used on you. It’s okay, I trust you Daniel.” I say and hug him.
Daniel stops and I can feel him shake, probably trying to fight off the magic but I stop him, I don’t want him to get hurt because of me. So I jump down from his arms and start running toward the wall that surrounds the castle and I was right as I see Mia and three other witches.
I stretch up my hands to show them that I came out of my free will and Mia smiles.
“I am here now, please release Daniel from the spell before he hurt himself even more.” I say and look Mia in the eyes.
“Hmpf so you mean that this little girl is the last female lycan? Mia, are you sure of this?” one of the witches asks.
“Yep, this is Nora. She is the mate of both prince Helios and prince Ares and now we have things to talk about.” Mia glares at me
“So this is how it’s supposed to be Nora. I will take the place of Ares chosen mate and you will reject him other wise I will refuse to help the king with breaking the curse. Oh and by the way as I am the only living relat ive of the very same witch that casted the curse I know how to break it but I want a high position in the kingdom” Mia said and I just stupidly stared at her.
“So you want to be queen then?” I ask but Mia and the others laugh
“No, I want to be high priestess and crown princess. I was aiming for
Helios at first but he is so damn boring but Ares he’s.. well lets just say I am not bored with him by my side.” Mia laughs and bats her eyes at

“So the only reason you’re staying with Ares is because of the titles, don’t you love him?” I ask stunned.
“Love? Yeah right. No way. Love is what made the curse to be casted. I don’t love anyone and Ares knows that. We are just friends with benefits if you know what that means?” Mia laughs but shut her mouth really quickly as she looks behind me.
But I don’t need to look behind me as I can feel them, rogue lycans, those that lost their mates that became insane from grief. I stood completely still as Mia raised her hands alongside the others and started to chant something.
Red flames came out from their hands and flew right past me and hit the lycans instead and as I tried to tell them not to use their magic I was once again lifted into a lycans arm and this time it was an insane
one.
He took me and put me over his shoulder and jumped over the wall while Mia screamed that she would send help. Yeah right like I would believe that. I kind of just layed there over his shoulder and waited for him to stop. He ran through the city while the guards tried to stop him but I screamed at them to let him be.
The guards were visibly shocked and confused and so was I as they obeyed my order without question, perhaps because I am a royal then? Anyway this lycan was determined to take me to the outskirts and into the forest.
*Artemis. Do you know where he is going? Or what he wants with me?* I ask her and she just whines. Let’s wait and see then.
After running and jumping over various things this lycan started to slow down and finally what felt like hours he dropped me on the ground. Not very gently either, now that I look around, I noticed that I was
in a little meadow with a creek, wildflowers and oh about six or seven more lycans.
I slowly rise and lose a bit of balance but I get some help from one of the lycans so I can steady myself and I can feel his intentions, he has not given up. He just wants to be free again, perhaps all of them wants help to get free.
“Uhm excuse me but am I wrong when I say that all of you wants my help to come into peace and be freed from this state that you are in right now?” I ask of them.
All of them nods and whines.
*Artemis, is there anyway to heal all of them at once? Are we strong enough for that?* I ask her and she answers
*Yes there is a way but we are not strong enough for that yet. Perhaps with Helios and Ares by our side or even Daniel then we could do it.*
I was trying to figure out how to do it when I suddenly was interrupted as the nearest lycan lifted me up and placed me in a tree as a handful of more savage lycans came running into our group.
*Daniel, help* I screamed through the mindlink.
*Coming* was all he answered.
I watched as the lycans started to fight against each other and I screamed as two of them barreled into the tree I was sitting in and the tree fell..
*Crack*
