Chapter 24
The Lycan’s Queen Book 1 – Chapter 24
Looking at Adonis, I knew he would refuse, but something told me that I had to talk to thisdy. Before
Adonis could say anything, I stood up and nodded.
“Come, we will go somewhere private and no one will follow us.” I red at Adonis, who red right
back at me.
His eyes never left me as I left the room with thedy. He would be pissed, but I would deal with that
I walked down the stairs and noticed thedy’s eyes constantly darting around, her hands were
shaking.
An uneasy feeling settled in me, but it made me more determined to figure out what the fuck was going
on.
Once we reached a secluded room of the pce, we entered, and I shut the door behind us. There
was no one around, so we should be safe here.
I sat down and motioned for thedy to sit down too. She gave me a small smile and sat down opposite
me.
“First I want to say how sorry I am for the loss of your child. I wish that I could have woken up and
saved her.” I shook my head.
“No, please don’t me yourself. We don’t me you. It’s our fault for not listening to the warning.”
She wiped a tear that fell.
“Warning, what warning?” I asked, my eyebrows raised in confusion.
She sighed before replying, “A few days before, a man came to our house, iming he was from the
pce.
“He told us he knew that my husband had a criminal record and he had applied to be a guard at the
pce.
“He said that they’d never ept him because of his record but said he could help us if we help him
first. I told my husband not to ept, but he did because my husband desperately wanted the job.
“This man told us that we had to sneak into the pce and put something in the food.
“He imed the food was going to the prisoners, and he wanted one of them dead but couldn’t do it
himself because he was well known. It just didn’t sit right with me, but my husband agreed.
“The man told us if we don’t do our job, he will know, and we will pay the price with the lives of our
loved ones.
“My husband did sneak in; however, he couldn’t bring himself to put whatever that was in the food
because he didn’t know what it was, and he began to have doubts.
“The very next day when we woke up, our daughter was gone, and we knew. That man took my
daughter and killed her.”
The poordy burst into tears, and my heart hurt for her. What a vile and disgusting man. But who was
this man?
Hearing what thedy said increased my doubts that this man must be someone who knew the pce
very well. But who?
“That’s why you were nervousing here? That’s why your eyes kept darting around?” I questioned.
“Yes, I’m afraid he is here.” Thedy trembled with fear.
The sick bastard who made this poordy feel like this would pay. How sick can someone be, taking a
helpless child and killing her in such a violent manner?
“You’ll be safe here. Nothing will happen to you.” I held her hands.
“Can you tell me what he looked like? Any small detail will help,” I asked, being careful not to ask her
too many questions.
“I don’t remember much, but I do remember he had a scar on his face. It looked like w marks, going
across his eye.” She shivered.
Well, that piece of information was definitely valuable. How many people have w marks across their
face?
I was just about to thank thedy, not wanting to press her for any more information, when the door
opened.
Adonis stormed in and asked, “What about the color of his hair? His eye color? How tall was he?”
Thedy looked at me with fear in her eyes. She jumped up and muttered, “I’ve said too much. He’ll kill
me. He’ll kill me…?
She rushed out of the room in a hurry. Shit, that was not meant to happen.
I red at Adonis and said, “What the fuck was that about? This was meant to be a private
conversation between us two. When did you decide to join?”
Adonis scoffed, “I wasn’t about to leave my mate alone. I only heard thest bit. But I need more
information.”
He turned around, but I pulled him back and growled.
“You just ruined everything. Didn’t you see how terrified she was when you decided to storm in with all
your questions? For once in your life, couldn’t you just do as you’re told. Sometimes there are things
you are not needed for.”
“I am the king. I am always needed. I don’t understand why she would tell you everything and not me.”
Adonis shook his head.
My anger was not calming down. “Because, Adonis, you are scary. You are the king, and these poor
people were scared of you. That poordy wanted to talk to someone who would understand her, and
that wasn’t you. But you just couldn’t handle that, could you? You had to interfere and ruin everything. I
would have gotten the information if you could control
yourself.”
Adonis red back at me. “I say the orders, not you. You obey my rules, end of…”
“I obey your rules? You know what, go fuck yourself. Good luck getting the information out of thatdy,
Your Majesty,” I mocked.

I didn’t wait for Adonis’s reply as I stormed off. My anger must have been radiating off me as servants
moved out of the way and looked at me in worry.
I stormed passed Adonis’s office where all my friends were. Niya looked at me concerned, but I paid no
attention.
“You tell your king that he better note anywhere near me,” I said, loudly of course because I
wanted Adonis to hear.
Evan and Gabe looked at each other in worry, while I stormed toward my temporary room and
mmed the door shut, causing things to rattle.
How dare he say those words to me? I won’t let him treat me like that. He needs to learn that he isn’t
always right.
Adanie mouha the line but he needs to understand that anmetimes there
actually know better. He isn’t always fucking right.
I heard him before I saw him. The door was locked as he turned the doorknob and growled out.
“Fine, you want to y that way. I’ll just break this damn thing down,” Adonis growled
Oh no he doesn’t. Before he could do anything, I opened the door and red at him.
“You think breaking down this door will do you any favors? You messed up big time, and now you have
to fix it. Breaking down this fucking door won’t help you.”
Adonis looked flustered as I mmed the door shut and locked it.
“Maybe you should grovel like a human, and I may forgive you,” I yelled.
Adonis didn’t say anything after that, probably realizing how angry I really was. Good, this would teach
him a good lesson.
Today was another eventful day and not having Adonis made me feel lonely, but he wasn’t going to
know that.
So, I decided to have a shower. It would be a good way to rx and take my mind off Adonis and his
shit for some time.
I took my time in the shower, letting the hot water rx my muscles and temporarily forget my
problems.

When I finally decided toe out, I quickly got changed and exited the bathroom. No sign of Adonis
yet. Was he still thinking on how to apologize?
A knock at the window made me jump. Was that Adonis? Why would he being from the window?
I walked toward the window and opened the curtains. There was no one there. Shit, was I imagining
things?
Just as I was about to close the curtains, something fell and dangled in front of my window.
My heart sank and I gasped.
No, no, no. This wasn’t happening.
My feelings must have been powerful enough for Adonis as he barged through the door and looked for
me.
My eyes were filled with tears as I pointed outside the window.
Adonis cursed and ran his hands through his hair. This was all my fault. This time it was on me.
Adonis moved me away from the window, but I kept staring
Staring at the head that was dangling. The head of that poordy. The poordy that was so scared of
being killed, and I promised her she would be fine.
I broke that promise; she was murdered. Just like her daughter.
Adonis sat me on the side of the bed and knelt down.
“Don’t you dare me yourself. You weren’t to know this was going to happen.”
“I promised her she would be safe.” I looked at Adonis.
He wiped the tears away and called for Gabe and Evan. Both looked solemn as they stared out the
window.
“This doesn’t look good, Dimitri,” Gabe said.
“I know. I am well aware of that,” Adonis spat out.
“Go and find where her head is hanging from and where is the rest of her body,” Adonis ordered.
Both nodded before leaving.
Adonis sat next to me and tried to hold my hand, but I moved it away from him.
“Someone has it out for you. We need to know why and fast.” I sighed.
“I have a lot of enemies, little one.” Adonis shook his head.
“Well, for now you just have one. And we can’t waste time; he needs to be found before more innocent
people lose their lives,” I replied.
Adonis nodded, “You’re right, as always. I am the one who always messes
up.”
“Is that your way of apologizing to me?” I asked.
“It depends; has it worked?” Adonis questioned.
“No,” I bluntly replied.
“I didn’t think it would. Sometimes I say things I don’t mean. I was worried when you left with her. I just
couldn’t deal with the thought of anything happening to you.” Adonis looked at me.
“You need to trust me Adonis. If I really were in trouble, you’d feel it.” I touched his chest.
“I trust you, but I don’t trust others.” He sighed.
“That is something that you’ll have to work on but some other time. Now we have important issues to
deal with,” I replied.
“Someone is trying to undermine my rule. Trying to prove that I am not capable of being king,” Adonis
growled.
“So, prove to them that you are. Prove to them that they messed with the wrong king. Show everyone
who Adonis Dimitri Grey really is.” I looked at him.
Adonis smirked, his determination showing in his eyes.
I feel sorry for whoever thought they could mess with Adonis because they have another thinging.
