Chapter 20
The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 20
Waking up was always fifty-fifty with me. Sometimes I would have so much energy, and other times I
wouldn’t even want to get out of bed.
Today I didn’t even have the energy to open my eyes
But something was nagging me to check the other side of the bed. So, my hand patted the cold side
next to me, confirming my thoughts that Adonis never came back.
Even though I managed to sleep, it didn’t feel refreshing. My head hurt, and I felt super drowsy. (This
novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)I missed Adonis, so much. My feelings had changed
so much, but I wasn’t mad.
Something about spending time with Adonis just made me feel so much better, and him not being here
really messed with me.
Since I had an awful night of sleep, my body needed more sleep, but before I gave in my nose caught a
whiff of something that smelled like blood. Immediately my heart started racing
Was it Adonis that was hurt? No, I would know if he was hurt.
Just as I opened my eyes, a drop of something fell on my face. I touched it and bought it up to my
eyes. –
Holy shit, it was blood. Where the hell did blood evene from? The strong scent made my eyes
travel upward, and I gasped.

Right above me was a little girl’s dead body, hanging from the light. Her lifeless eyes stared right at me,
permanently engraving them in my mind.
Without wasting a second, I ripped the covers off me and stumbled out of bed. (This novel will be daily
updtaed at .noveljar)It was then I realized the horror of this act. All the bedsheets we soaked
in blood. How the hell did I not notice this?
All of a sudden, it felt like my senses opened up as the strong smell of blood made me gag,
My whole body was still shaking as I made my way to the door, desperate to get out before the smell
made me sick. I didn’t even look at the dead body because I knew if I did, I would pass out.
My body felt weak, I was pretty sure it had something to do with the
gruesome scene in my bedroom
Just as I opened the door, my knees copsed, causing me to fall. Fuck, my body was weaker than I
thought.
Since my n of getting help with my legs failed, I used the next best thing I had
My voice
“ADONIS,” I shouted.
“ADONIS PLEASE,” I shouted again, crawling away from the door. I had to get far away from my room.
Guards began to rush up, but my mate pushed past them all, his eyes narrowed and his body tense.
Seeing his face calmed me down, and I got up and threw myself at him, using thest bit of energy I
had.
I needed hisforting embrace right now. His arms wrapped tightly around me as I breathed in his
delicious sent, trying my best to not smell the blood
I knew that I didn’t need to tell him anything, the smell of blood was strong in the air. My thoughts were
confirmed by Adonis’s loud growl, which caused the windows to shake.
Instinctively I clutched onto him tighter. He made his way to the room, and I forced myself to keep my
eyes open because I knew if I closed them, those lifeless eyes would appear.
Thankfully my back was facing the horrific scene, and I was facing the bedroom door instead.
Gabe and Evan rushed into the room, gasping in shock and horror. (This novel will be daily updtaed at
.noveljar)This was something no one wanted to see, especially since it was a child who was
killed
“Who the fuck got into my room while my mate was sleeping?” Adonis was furious
“Who the fuck thinks it’s okay to kill a little girl in this vile way? I want to know WHO!” Adonis seethed.
His anger caused some guards to take a few steps back, they probably thought he’d lose control.
Gabe and Evan didn’t look worried, just concerned The guards looked at Gabe and Evan, waiting in
case they had to restrain Adonis.
There was no way that he was getting put in that awful cell again, not on my watch.
I breathed in his scent to calm me down, and it seemed that he calmed down as well, tightening his grip
around me but releasing a long breath.
The guards rxed and came closer again, waiting to hear orders.
“Find out what sadistic prick did this and bring him to me. I don’t need to tell you to use all measures to
make sure this fucking bastard is found.” Adonis turned to Gabe and Evan.
“You know we will. Right now you need to look after your mate,” Gabe said.
“Yeah, she is first priority. We will find the dickhead who pulled this despicable act.” Evan sounded
serious, his yful demeanor long gone.
“We’ll be in one of the other rooms on this floor,” Adonis told his friends before stopping and grabbing a
few things and leaving.
I didn’t even realize when Adonis entered the other room, when he ced me on the toilet seat as he
ran the bath.

underwear. My mind was too busy thinking about the events that just took ce.
Only when Adonis ced me in the warm bath did my tear-stricken face look up at him.
“I thought lycans are meant to have heightened senses? Why didn’t I hear anyonee in? How could
I have slept through someone killing and cing that little girl’s body above me? How could I not have
smelled the blood as it fell onto the sheets?” I questioned.
Tears fell as I remembered that little girl’s body hanging from the light.
Adonis wiped the tears away and kissed my forehead.
“Don’t me yourself, little one. I should never have left you alone. None of this is your fault,

understand? Someone is ying a sick game with us, but they won’t get away with it.”
shbacks of the blood-soaked sheets invaded my mind, and I shuddered.(This novel will be daily
updtaed at .noveljar)I looked down at my skin and shook my head,
I reached for the nnel and put some soap on it before scrubbing my arms hard. In my mind, I saw the
blood of that innocent girl, and I had to
get rid of it.
Only when Adonis held my hand to stop ine from scrubbing did I realize my skin had turned red Being
brown meant that I would have had to
scrub so hard for my skin to be red “Aarya, why did you do that to yourself”‘ Didn’t you hear what I
said?” Adonis ced my red arms in the warm water to soothe them.
“Her blood was on my skin, I had to get it off. I slept in her blood for God knows how long. How stupid
am I?” I shook my head in disbelief.
“Not stupid. Don’t call yourself that,” Adonis said.
He spent the next ten minutes caring for me, washing my hair and body and making sure I was okay.
Once he was done, he lifted me out of the water and wrapped a warm and fluffy towel around me.
“Your Majesty?” the familiar voice of Jane called out.
“Yes,e in,” Adonis replied.
Jane opened the door cautiously, and I saw the nerves when she saw Adonis. Poor girl, she was
probably terrified about what happened with Adonis before
“I was called to check cause of death and look for anything suspicious in your room. I thought I should
report my findings to you,” Jane started.
Adonis just nodded.
“Well, I can’t get an exact time of death just yet, but I am certain she was killed by multiple stab
wounds. That, and being hung up in the way she was, would exin why there was so much blood.”
I shuddered and buried my face in Adonis’s neck. That poor girl Who would kill an innocent child so
violently? My heart broke for her family.
They probably had no idea that their daughter was killed.
“But I also found out something else. (This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)The reason
as to why Aarya never awoke during the whole attack.” Jane sighed.
My head shot up, and Adonis asked, “You mean, someone drugged
Aarya?”
Jane nodded. “Her water wasced with a drug. I am not sure the exact one, but I know the various
drugs that smell simr, and all have the same effect. It would have caused her to fall into a deep
sleep, one which she wouldn’t wake up from, even though there was so much going on around
her Tell me, Your Majesty, did you experience a headache when you woke up?
“Yes, I thought it was because I didn’t have a good night’s sleep,” I replied
Jane shook her head.
“It is the side effect of the drug. Whoever did this to you knew that you were a lvcan Otherwise they’d
have no other reason to drug you. They also knew when to drug you. This was a carefully plotted n.”
Adonis’s eyes began to switch, his lycan was demanding control. Jane’s face paled, and she took a few
steps to be closer to the door.
This wasn’t the time for Adonis to lose control. I need him and not his lycan
I took his head in my hands. “Stay with me, Adonis. I need you, not your lycan
My eyes stayed on his changing ones, refusing to let his lycan take control. Adonis closed his eyes and
let out a deep breath.
When his hazel eyes connected with mine, I let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s hard to hear all this, little one. My lycan wants the blood of whoever did this.” Adonis ran his hands
through his hair.
“I know, but your lycan isn’t going to help anyone find this prick sooner. You are, so you need to stay in
control,” I replied.
“I need to get back. If anything elsees up, then I will let you know.” Jane left
Adonis picked me up and ced me on the toilet seat before disappearing into the room. (This novel
will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)It didn’t take long for him to return with some clothes.
I quickly got ready, and Adonis gripped my hand tight.
“You’re not leaving my side,” he said, leaving no room for any argument.
I just nodded, secretly d that he said that because I didn’t want to leave his side anyway. We left the
bedroom and made our way to the crowd of guards
“Dimitri!” Lexi’s familiar voice called
Both Adonis and I spun around to see Lexi running toward us.

“You…you bettere down. …,” Lexi said while catching her breath.
Adonis’s eyes narrowed as he smelled something in the air. To me, it meant nothing, but to Adonis, it
was clearly something.
His body tensed up yet again as he stormed downstairs. I looked at Lexi in worry before running after
him.
Adonis stopped in front of a middle-aged man, who stood there with a smug look on his face.
“Who is that?” I whispered to Lexi.
“He’s the one that first proposed the idea of Adonis and Savanah’s mating,” Lexi replied back, causing
my eyes to widen in shock.
As if this day couldn’t get any worse for us. I just hoped Adonis could control his lycan, but looking at
this guy made me seriously doubt that.
Well, this should be fun.
