Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Noras POV

Well let’s just say that Ares didn’t joke around aboutgetting two moreasms, they actually gave me three more before the rest cback. The tea had gone cold so the maids cup with new warm tea and I thought they would givedirty looks but they didn’t. It was like they didn’t care, I wonder who they are.

“The maids are the second chance or chosen mates of the pack, so they know what is going around here. I can introduce you later on if you want?” Helios said and I nodded, curious about the girls.

“Yes perhaps that would be a good idea, and Nora will need a handmaiden so she should get to know the girls” Dave said and I looked at him

“A handmaiden?” I asked and looked at Helios and Ares

“Yes, uhm a friend sort of but she does everything you want to and she will accompany you wherever you go” Helios said and I stared at him.

“It’s not a sla ve Nora. More like a personal assistant. She will help you with various things around the castle and the pack you know” Ares explains and I just nod. That makes more sense.

“Yeah that would be helpful” I say and look at the maids again. All three of them smile atand I blush slightly.

“Yes and perhaps you will see how an actual birthday is celebrated” Daniel says and winks at me.

“Yeah I look forward to that actually”

“Wait, didn’t you celebrate your birthdays in your old pack? ” Dave asked

I shook my head and explained.

“No not really, we celebrated things like coming out of age, our first shift, a higher ranking, winning a competition and things like that. But the celebration wasn’t personal, it was with the whole pack and these gifts Ben mentioned, we never got any.” I shrug

Now it was a complete silence over the room and I wondered if I said. anything wrong. A sharp intake of air snappedout of the thoughts that had wandered into my mind.

“Excusemy king, if I may speak” one of the maids took a step forward. She was pretty with brown eyes and dark blonde hair.

The king looked at her and smiled, waving her forward.

“Hello miss Nora, my nis Anna and I know what you are speaking of. The pack that I cfrom was like that also but if I don’t sound too rude I would like to invite you to a birthday party tomorrow actually. One of the maids’ birthday is tomorrow and I thought you wanted to see how we celebrate ours and also I wonder when your birthday is?” Anna say

“Oh I would love that. My birthday is next year, on the day of the ball.” I say and thinks

“What. Your birthday has already been? But then we need to celebrate it. We should set a date but we also need to celebrate that you guys have found your mate and our future queen.” Dave said and I tilted my head at him. So what?

“Yes you are right, we have a lot to celebrate but first we need to discuss the recent happenings and problems that we have.” The king said and dismissed Anna and the two other maids.

I wonder how I will go to the birthday party tomorrow if I can’t speak with Anna again.

“It’s okay Nora, Anna will fetch you tomorrow when the party is ready” Ares winks at me.

Like he could read my mind but then again my dad used to say that you could read my thoughts on my face from tto time.

“Yes, well to address the current problem. Mia caused a lot of trouble this twhen she blew up some parts of the castle, turned Daniel into a puppet and let in the rogue lycans into the castle grounds. I believe that her plan was to get Nora kidnapped and marked by one of them because now every lycan knows that Nora exists like the last female lycan.” the king said and looked at all of us.

I look down at my hands and think back, yes they wantedfor something more than just a healing. And what about that one lycan that Artemis knocked down from the tree, I wonder who he is.

“Ben toldthat Nora and her lycan kind of linked everyone together and healed them a bit, enough to get them back to their senses anyway.” Helios said and I nodded.

“Yes I touched a bit of their souls and gave them what they needed, but I really need to heal them completely before you can trust them all out.” I say and think back when I felt their sadness and devastation.

“Hmm yes I would really like to see you in action by healing one of them. even if I felt it first hand but I think it would be really believable if I could see it with my own eyes. When do you think you have enough energy to try and heal one lycan?” the king asks

“Hmm well it will probably take a few days before Artemis can heal a rogue lycan that hasn’t been healed before hand.” I say and ponder over my words.

“What about one of the lycans that you helped in the forest then? Do you think you are strong enough for one of them?” Helios asks and I look at him.

*What do you think Artemis, are you up to it?* I ask of her and she huffs.

Sure if you eat something already, it will take your energy to, you know. Ask for pancakes with maple syrup, I want to know what that is.* She answers back and I am confused. What is maple syrup?

“Umm Artemis said she could probably heal one of them that we healed back in the forest but that I need to eat first. So I wonder if I could try out pancakes with maple syrup, but I don’t know what that is..” I explain.
