KING'S MATE

Dark Magic

Gween Marie Peterson POV

My face was upset when I saw my condition that has not changed at all since morning. I glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that dinner time had arrived.

Nickolas and Britanny must have officially become husband and wife and are busy celebrating, while I have to be here in a tied hands. My stomach growled and several times I shouted at the servant who came to release me.

And what do they do? They just shook their heads while giving a classic reason to upset me. They even begged me to eat the food they brought, but I just gave a flat look.

Do they think I can eat with my hands tied?

I snorted and tried to move my numb hand. My blood had stopped a few hours ago and I was willing to bet that my wrist was chafing because I was tugging on it.

Where is that jerk?!

I didn't even have time to say goodbye to Maggie. Today she returned to New York and left Lily alone with Edmund. Remembering that I cussed Nickolas again because of what he did to me.

The sun had set and whether hallucinations or not, I saw a thick black mist surrounding the mansion. My eyes widened wide as the black mist cloud tried to enter, but was blocked by an invisible shield that seemed to glow every time the black mist tried to attack.

What is this?

My eyes didn't move at all from the window, not even blinking. Too surprised and amazed to see the extraordinary scenery that happened outside, but that feeling turned into fear when the black mist turned into a familiar figure, only it looked more mature and there were wrinkles in several places on her face.

Her expression was so scary that my nape was bruised. My body trembled when she realized her eyes. The woman's eyes turned white and stared straight at me. Her eyes seemed to have a black aura that could kill me instantly. She raised her hand high and her mouth also moved slowly. Instantly a light appeared from her hand and tried to destroy the shield in front of she, but her efforts were in vain because her strength bounced back out, not at all destroying the invisible shield.

Then another light appeared and attacked the woman until she bounced away from the mansion. I blinked and looked at the woman unexpectedly.

My ears heard the sound of a door opening.

Instantly I turned and saw Nickolas walking toward me with hasty steps. He sat on the side of the bed and untied the rope that tied my hands. After that he wrapped my body in a thick blanket. He rose from the bed and carried me in his arms. His face looked so stiff and cold, but I could detect the fear in his eyes. "Nickolas?"

Nickolas just looked down and kissed my forehead. I could feel a sense of relief flowing directly in my body and I knew it was not from me, but from the man who was currently holding me. He buried his face in the recess of my neck and breathed. "Thank God you're okay"

I blinked and looked at him confused. Nickolas looked up and stared at the window. I followed his direction and was surprised to see the woman disappear. "How can?"

"Dark magic"

"Huh? Dark magic? You mean?" I asked softly. Nickolas walked out of the room and down the hall of the mansion.

He sighed and answered. "Dark magic is a forbidden power in the Supernatural world. Only black witches can master this power. Usually those who master this will turn crazy"

"So what do you mean ... that woman ... she — oh my god I didn't expect. How much power is dark magic? And who is that woman? She looks like she wants to... attack me"

Nickolas entered the living room where the temperature was warm because the fireplace had been lit. A plate of food is also placed on a glass table in the middle of the room. He sat me on the sofa and knelt down. "Great, but not as much as the wizard King's strength. You take it easy. Leave it all to me" then he stood up and kissed my forehead. Nickolas rose from his seat and turned around, but I didn't allow it because my hands gripped the back of his wrinkled shirt. He turned his head and asked, "What else, Gween?"

"You haven't answered my question. Who is that woman? Why does she look familiar and try to attack me?"

Nickolas thinned his lips. He closed his eyes for a moment. When his eyes opened again, he answered, "she is the Mother of Britanny, Noura." I gasped at Nickolas's answer. He lowered his head and again said, "No need to worry. You're safe here. She can't hurt or touch you." After giving a long stare, Nickolas turned around and left the room.

I sat in silence. There was only me in this room, but I felt uncomfortable because my body was wrapped in Nickolas's thick blanket. If people see my situation, then those who see this will immediately speculate wrong.

My hand reached out for the hot chocolate that was placed on the glass table and drank it. After that I stood up and walked towards the window.

I was surprised when I saw what was in front of me. The woman I saw earlier, is currently attacking a blond haired and robed man. They threw each other's strength, then my eyes turned to the wolves who were fighting. They were so brutal and I cringed when I saw blood splattered everywhere.

What is this actually? Why does this look like a fight? My eyes move wildly. Looking for a large black figure who has an aura of dominance and is so familiar to me. For some reason I feel scared and have to make sure that he is not hurt and fine.

I kept looking and breathing relieved when I saw him fighting with a silver-haired wolf who looked a little smaller, but still big to me.

Wolfy!

I cringed when Wolfy bit his opponent's neck and killed him on the spot by clawing the wolf until it fell limp and lifeless.

Then, as if hearing my call, his head moved to look and look toward the window where I was. His eyes darkened while showing his blood-soaked fangs. His eyes imply me to go away from the window.

He averted his gaze from me towards the light brown wolf. The wolf also just finished killing his opponent and stood behind Wolfy like a bodyguard. The wolf's body is not as big as a wolfy's, but if measured he still exceeds my height. I saw the wolf's head move and Wolfy turned away.

I blinked and turned toward the door because I felt Wolfy's Alpha aura so thick.

Wolfy walked into the room, growling softly. His steps were so slow and careful, but when he saw my eyes glaring at him, he immediately stopped. His four legs bent then pressed his stomach to the floor. His eyes looked at me sadly and a small whimper came out of his mouth. "what?"

He crawled slowly. His eyes didn't shift even from me as if making sure that I wasn't afraid or trying to run away from him. His movements stopped when he was only a few feet away from me, but he chose to lower his head and rub it against my feet covered in blankets. "Are you trying to be nice?" he whined again and continued to rub his head.

I sighed and said, "fine, but don't act like Lily. You don't deserve to act like that" immediately wolfy's head lifted and growled softly. "What? I'm not wrong. You're acting the same as Lily if you want my attention" Wolfy snorted softly. His golden eyes slowly turned gray. I took a breath and threw my gaze back out the window, watching the battle still going on. "What exactly is going on?" I asked slowly.

I frowned when I saw the gray eyes staring at me mysteriously. The corner of his lips slowly raised to form a wolf grin that was strangely very funny. Before I could ask what he was up to, Wolfy looked down and bit the bottom of my blanket. He pulled it until I heard the sound of a cloth ripping. "Nickolas! Stop it!" he looked at me lazily and continued what he was doing.

I groaned and tried to stop it, but my blanket's link was untied and I could only stare at the horror as the blanket slowly fell to the floor. I screamed in surprise and tried to close Wolfy's eyes with my hands. "Don't see!"

Wolfy growled and shook his head until my hands fell out of his eyes. Wolfy watched me from top to bottom without shame. His tongue stuck out and his gray eyes slowly darkened, but it did not last long when Wolfy's posture turned rigid and his ears stood upright.

He immediately turned and stood on his feet. If like that he really looks like a monster. He stood up to hide my innocent body, I mean wearing underwear, but that's all.

I heard footsteps and a few moments later Jax's voice entered my sense of hearing. "Alpha"

I watched in horror as Lycan's body standing in front of me turned into a figure I knew. My eyes immediately closed when I realized that Nickolas was not wearing anything, aka naked.

I felt Nickolas turn around and hug my body until I felt his skin touch my skin. My cheeks flushed when I felt something touch my stomach. Nickolas groaned softly and buried his face in the recess of my neck. He murmured, "You don't know how hard it is to keep myself from attacking you, Gween" I heard coughing voice soft and my eyes widened when I saw Jax and the blond man standing in the doorway with an amused expression.

Nickolas bent down slightly and grabbed my fallen blanket and then wrapped it around my body again. He turned his back to me and grabbed the shorts that one of the warriors had given him.

"What about Brian? Have you caught that woman?"

The man I know named Brian, immediately gave a satisfied expression and a big smile. "Of course, her strength isn't comparable to mine," he said arrogantly.

Nickolas snorted and commented. "Isn't comparable, huh? Then how did she escape your pursuit decades ago?"

"She's sneaky," Brian said casually. "Same as her child," he added.

"You are right"

"Just calm down, I have locked the dark magic in her body tightly. When she arrived in my kingdom, her strength and her daughter will be destroyed" I saw the three men in front of me smile mysteriously. They seemed to know the true meaning of the last word that the man named Brian said. "Jax?" Nickolas asked as he looked at his Beta with a waiting look.

Jaxon nodded his head and said, "Wolves from the Red Moon Pack have been successfully conquered, Alpha. Some of them died and some were injured. Now they are taken to prison for interrogation"

"What about our warriors? Did anyone die?"

Jaxon shook his head and answered, "Nothing. Only a few were injured. We anticipated this, so when the Red Moon Pack attacked, we were ready." Eirik nodded in satisfaction with the report Jaxon gave.

"What exactly is this? Why are we being attacked?" I asked later. The three men in the room immediately looked at me. Nickolas sighed and answered, "they are the Red Moon Pack. They attacked because they didn't accept their Alpha were arrested and Noura, wanted her daughter back" I looked at Nickolas confused. Don't understand what the explanation meant, but Nickolas ignored me and chose to kiss my forehead briefly.

Brian looked at Nickolas with curiosity and asked, "what are you going to do with Drake, Nickolas?" Nickolas just shrugged his shoulders and looked at Brian with a mysterious look.

Brian sighed and averted his gaze from Eirik towards me. His curious gaze turned soft when our eyes met. I was a little surprised when I noticed Brian's violet eyes.

Really unique.

"Is she Gween? A woman who can turn you into a soft guy?" Brian asked teasingly. Nickolas growled and gave Brian a warning look.

"Yes, she is our queen King Brian," Jax said proudly. I blinked when Jax said that sentence.

"Our Luna Queen" Nickolas added. Huh?

Brian nodded his head and bowed respectfully to me. He raised his head slightly and gave a small smile, "it's pleasure to meet you Luna Queen. I'm honored to meet you before your coronation"

"Uhh-uhh ..." I muttered in confusion. Don't understand at all what actually happened here.

Isn't Nickolas already married to Britanny Automatically Britanny who will be the Queen of the werewolf kingdom isn't it? Instantly my head felt dizzy thinking about it. I sighed and put my head on Nickolas's back.

Nickolas turned his body back and embraced my body into his arms. He kissed my forehead and again said, "Looks like Gween is too tired and ---"

Suddenly my stomach rumbling.

I immediately sank my face into Nickolas's chest to hide my blushing cheeks.Shame struck me because the sound of my stomach rumbling in the wrong time.

I felt Nickolas 's chest tremble with laughter, followed by two men who were still standing near the door. "shut up!" I hissed at them.

Nickolas kissed my forehead again and said, "Looks like my queen is hungry. What do you want to eat?"

"This is all because of you jerk!" I growled at Nickolas .

Nickolas just raised an eyebrow and asked, "why is that my fault? I didn't do anything"

"Didn't do anything you said?" I growled in anger. I opened my mouth again to protest, but Nickolas acted quickly.

He immediately released one hand from my waist and covered my mouth with that hand. His gray eyes looked so bright and he seemed to wink in amusement. "I'm sorry, my dearest Queen, so what do you want to eat?"

My body froze to hear him call me that. Nickolas, understanding my mood changes immediately pushed my body back into his arms. "Gween ..."

"Why do you keep saying that I'm your queen huh? Aren't you already someone's husband?" I asked bitterly.

I felt Nickolas take a deep breath and slowly exhale. He kissed my cheek and put his chin on my head. His arms tightened and Nickolas answered, "Because it's reality, Gween"

"What do you mean huh? Don't make me confused like this!" I shouted annoyed. My tears have started to well up and are ready to fall anytime.

"You are indeed my Queen and will always be like that. No one can change it"

"Nickolas ..."

Nickolas moved his body away from me a little and lowered his head. His hands raised and wiped away my tears that I didn't realize had fallen down my cheeks. He kissed my nose and looked into my eyes gently. "Gween ... You are the woman I was destined for"

"But?"

"There is no word 'but' Gween. Moon Goddess sent you for me. Only you can be the spirit of my life"

I sobbed quietly at the words that are so beautiful and full of honesty. "Then, your marriage? Britanny? What exactly happened?"

Nickolas smiled and pinched my nose. He smiled a little and answered,

"The marriage was fake"
