Filed to story: The Lycan Queen Story (Nora and Helios)
“Yes, well you are ready now, Miss Nora.” Tristan says and I touch the braid. Still amazed, I hug Tristan and then k*ss him on the cheek as a thank you.
Tristan’s face turns beet red and Helios is so stunned that he didn’t even growl at us.
“Shall we go now?” I ask and just stroll outside to meet with the others.
“No shoes, Miss Nora?” Linus asks
“Not allowed in the arena, Linus” I answer and look at him smiling.
Helios, Tristan and Ben come out behind me and Linus raises an eyebrow at them, I avoid eye contact with any of them. I didn’t mean anything with the k*ss, it was just a show of gratitude but what surprised me was his lycan.
“Miss Nora?” Linus say and looks at me as I realize something
“Ben?” Can I talk to you before we go?” I ask and turn to him and he nods.
I point to the side of the house, it’s silly to go away but it’s out of respect and I really like Ben as a friend and want to show that.
“I just realized that this will be hard for you. This challenge between me and Emily, it’s hard. I am forced to make her submit and then she will accept your rejection before I kill her and if she doesn’t submit I am forced to kill her. And if she hasn’t accepted the rejection when I kill her it will hurt you a lot. Am I right?
I don’t want to hurt you if I can’t make her submit. I don’t know what to do right now.” I try to explain but get confused by my own thoughts.
“Don’t worry about me please. You just make sure that you win over her. Kill her if you must. You are right it will probably sting for a second but you forget, we lycans are strong.” Ben says and smiles sadly.
We look at each other when I hear him and I nod at Ben. He strokes my cheek and takes away a tear that was threatening to fall.
We walk over to Helios and the others.
“Car or running?” Linus asks.
“Car ” I answer and the guys chuckle at me again.
Ma, Helios, Tristan, Ben and Linus go by car while the others run behind. It’s quiet in the car while Ben drives and I look outside the window. I can see the pack I grew up in and memories fill my head until I turn my gaze toward Helios.
“Wow.” We are here now, Miss Nora” Ben say and I sigh
“Yep” I pop the “p” and climb out of the car.
Helios comes out after me and we take each other’s hand and I lead the way over to my parents that are standing in a corner signing up the ones that want to fight.
“Hi honey” my mo m said and I hugged her hard.
“Hi mo m.” So how is it going here?” I ask her and look at delta Ryan
“It’s going fine, Nora. You have outdone yourself with all of this. But do you want the tournament or the challenge first?” delta Ryan asks.
“The challenge first so I don’t waste my energy. And I want to write up some names for the tournament.”
“Okay, which ones?” Delta Ryan asks and I notice that he is avoiding to look me directly in the eyes and he is really avoiding Helios.
“I can make it easier and write them down myself” I say and delta Ryan nods with happiness.
I wrote down the guys names, I made sure to ask before we left which of them wanted to participate.
Ben, Daniel, Linus, Grey, Andrei, Lukas, Anton and Nick. The other wanted to watch. I signed my name too.
“I wish you all the luck I can give you, Nora. I will miss you though when you leave this pack” delta Ryan says and I smile.
I hugged my mo m again and then I led Helios over to the arena. Everyone in front of us moved out of their way, at first I thought it was because of Helios or that my scent. changed but no. I looked into their eyes and saw pity and curiosity in their eyes.
“There you are, rogue.” Emily says as I walk past her to my place.
I say nothing and start stretching instead, trying to keep my head clear as I can’t shift and I know Emily is stronger in her wolf form.
“Don’t be nervous, just focus on your breathing and remember not to stumble on your feet this time. Do you know the weak spots of a werewolf?” My dad asks me as he was here and waiting for me.
I nod at him and smile.
“I know and I am ready to show all of them how strong I actually am” I say and hug him hard.
“That’s my girl”. It’s your turn now. Go into the arena and show them your true self and then we’ll talk. Go on” My dad said and k*ssed me on the forehead.
I was really confused but I emptied my head and sought strength from my wolf. As always my wolf is ready for a good fight, especially this time. I watched as my dad guided Helios, Ben, Tristan and Linus to their seats up on the balcony while I and Emily made our way out to the arena.
The arena really is a sight to behold, it is similar to those roman gladiator fighting arenas. It’s a big plain with grass. surrounded by bleachers. Sometimes there is training equipment or a fre aking maze in here but right now it’s just grass,
We walk out to the middle where delta Ryan and beta Jessica are waiting. I turn around and face Emily.
“This is a challenge between the daughters of the alpha and the gamma of this pack, the silver stream pack. The challenge is about the matebond, the loser will reject their mate and then di e by the winners hand. There is only one rule and that is not to harm anyone else that is not part of this challenge,
Are both of you ready?” Delta Ryan explains and asks in a loud voice.
I get into a defensive position while Emily takes the offensive position.
“Ready” both of us answered.
“Good.” Ready, set go”
“Ready, set, go” Beta Jessica shouts.
Emily throws her entire b*dy at me and I simply side step her and make a roundhouse kick that hits her on her back and she lands hard on her face. I dance away as she growls and gets up. We continued this game of Emily attacking me and I danced away.
Emily’s frustration grew as she never was able to touch me and she screamed.
“Fight back, you co ward.”
“I never wanted this challenge, you know Emily. We were friends once and I don’t want to hurt you” I answer back as l once again avoid her attack.
But Emily is very strong willed and stubborn, she keeps up with her attacks and each time I simply side step them. In human form I have the advantage and she knows this but this is a matter of pride. Emily’s pride.
Emily rises and she takes one step back making me suspicious of her, she stands there and staring at me with an indecipherable expression. I studied her for a minute as she just stood there, I glanced behind and saw Helios and Ben watching us. Ben began to stand up in a warning but I could hear Emily move and I ducked instinctively but I was wrong and got a knee on my nose.
“Got you now, bit ch” Emily spat at me.
I held my nose that had broken on impact and I bled, my wolf growled in warning and I glanced at her. Emily’s biggest flaw in her fighting style is that she always shows. what kind of attack she is going to use. So I don’t raise my head as she tries a roundhouse kick and when I see her foot coming for my face I take it with my hands and pull with all my strength.
Emily fell down hard with a loud “thud” and she gasped but I wasn’t done as I twisted her foot and effectively broke her leg. Emily screamed and I released her, she was sobbing and crying but I knew that her wolf would heal her in a few minutes and the tears were of anger not of pain or sadness.
“If you really were my friend once, then why are you forcing me to live through a rejection? Why didn’t you stand by my side?” Emily screams at me.
I tilt my head and look down at her in sadness, I feel so much sadness for my former friend and I really want to tell her that so I do, in my own way.
“You rejected me, remember? You cast me aside the moment you learned that I didn’t have a wolf. And don’t blame it on your dad or the pack. This was your choice and you didn’t choose me.” I answered her in a low voice but I knew that all the lycans present could hear me.
