Lycan King’s Nemesis

Ash??

I assumed going away was going to solve my problems. But it seemed wherever I go, my mate will always be there. If not physically, then she torments me mentally. Not to mention the natural torture from my wolf.

Since the other day when I nearly fucked Merit and later used my pheromones to subdue her, Fangs has retreated. He no longer trust me or wants to speak with me.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

So, instead of the two weeks I intended to stay away, I woke up today and made up my mind to go back to the palace. Perhaps, to be intimate with my mate will bring back the trust of my wolf. He might be sassy as fuck and annoying many atimes, still, he is my best buddy and I can’t be a proper Lycan King without him.

“Don’t you think we should stay some more?” Merit purred, pouting her plump lower lips. I spared her one look and succumbed to her charm of beauty to regard her closely.

She was beautiful, no denying that. But she wasn’t my mate. I just enjoy using her as a distraction. And to make my mate jealous, but that is all there is to it. I don’t want her to grow too attached, or feel entitled.

I knew what she did in the bathroom with my mate. I would have killed her for it, but then, I will have to look for a new lover to irk my mate with and bringing them into the palace won’t be that easy. “No, we have to leave,” I drawled, stood from the bed and went towards the bathroom.

Sex with Merit was great, but fucking my mate would be greater. I knew from the first taste. I had to force her through it, nonetheless, it unleashed the inner demon in me. Imagine what would happen if she was willing.

As I was dressing, I got a link from home. It was Williams. “Hey,” I chimed eagerly, having missed his nosy behaviour.

“Hey, Ash,” He said boredly. He sounded like he was in bed with someone. I hope it’s not my sister. “I have some good news.”

“Shoot.”

“The man for the sport just called, he said they are transporting the equipment here by next weekend. The disbursement needs your signature as soon as possible.”

Yes! My heart leaped with joy. “I’m on my way home. I can’t wait.”

The link was quiet for some time, during the time I heard another sound in the background. But right now I am delighted with the news I heard. I wouldn’t want to prod.

“There is something else.” He broke the silence.

“What?” I glimpsed myself in the mirror and turned to leave, not sparing Merit a look as I made it out of the door.

“I got a hint the hunters are starting to draw close again.”

I growled. “They can’t.”

“They are not supposed to due to the treaty, but I heard they have a new leader and he is a scientific bloke.” He faltered, his breathe audible through my head. “From my source, I heard he is in search of a powerful bloodline for their sick experiments.”

I smiled. “Then he is welcomed to my territory then.” I entered the car and shifted to the left as Merit joined me. “I will be glad to rip his guts out just the way I did with his predecessor. If the humans wants war, then they should better grow fangs and claws, because this time around, Lud knows I won’t be merciful.”

“We have to be very careful, Ashton.” He admonsihed lightly. “You and I know you are the most powerful Lycan presently and your head is what he is after. We have to tread carefully and… you need your mate now more than ever.”

“I don’t need anyone, Williams. I am King and I am untouchable.”

“I know, still… without your mate, you are less of everything. You and I know that. You need her support now more than ever and to protect her too so the humans don’t develop ideas. She is a werewolf, imagine what would happen if we have her on our side in case the humans connived with her kind against us.”

I grunted, anger looming in my chest. If that little twat hadn’t come into my life, I won’t have to be dealing with this shit of protection. At least I will have myself to protect, not some weak little werewolf who from what I found out, hasn’t even shifted.

“I will talk to you later_”

“Also, you have to brace yourself, Ash… she is wrathful.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“She had your valet beheaded this afternoon.”

My teeth girtted. “What did you just say?”

“Yeah… everyone was shocked too. Said something about being taken for granted in the palace by everyone and needed to show her dark side to be taken seriously.” He scratched his beard. I heard the sound. “From what I found out, the chap moved your stuff_”

“I ordered him to!” I growled, fury resonating inside me as I thought of what to do to make her pay for what she did. Beheaded my Michelin? That Lycan was one of my best valets.

“Now, you know better to consult with your mate before you send some unfortunate fellow to his early grave. Ash… you are married now, act like one.” With that, the link severed.

“Urgh!” I slammed my hand by my side, jumping as a cold hand touched me. I forgot Merit was here.

“Are you alrig_”

“Just shut it!” I cut her off. “Pretend like I am not here.”

Getting to the palace, I was taking the stairs two at a time to reach my cham_her chamber. I wanted nothing more than to punish that little minx for crossing me. Thwarting my order and making ridicule of me in front of my subjects!

I told my mother this girl was just like every other werewolf. They are all the same; evil, innocent-looking manipulative critters! There is no way you can find a genuine werewolf. Not in this life.

And now, it’s not even two weeks from our wedding, and she is already showing her true colors.

The same way Fabian showed her true colors to me after two years of courting. Two years of wasting my love, my efforts, my everything! She ripped away my heart without a thought of my sanity. A thought to how I fared after. All because of some useless werewolf vermin!

I will rather die than let Gwendolyn do that to me again. I will have to tame her, to show her who was in charge in this place.

Little piece of shit. Three days ago she was looking so vulnerable and pathetic that I felt guilty for hurting her. I couldn’t live with myself for cheating and then using my power on her. I even lost the love of my wolf. Now, look at her!

I barged into the room without knocking and wasn’t prepared for the sight that greeted me. There she was like a siren, standing stark naked in front of the mirror, and swung around once I entered to give me a glimpse of her big pointy breasts.

I smacked the door closed instantly, incensed words dying in my mouth as my eyes swept through her curvy loveliness.

Goddess of mercy.
