Rise of the Lycan Queen

Chapter 18

-Jessica-

I ran towards the door hearing the constant aggressive knocking. As I opened, Belle blurted out, “I beat Enigmia and Micah attacked me, I need help, Enigmia challenged him.” I closed my eyes, sighing, grabbing Belle’s hand and teleported us to the training field. I watched them as they exchanged some words and lifted my hand, enclosing the training area so no one could see what was about to happen. The spell will break once one of them leaves the training field. “Why did you do that?” Belle asked me. "Because they are destined mates, Belle, I am unsure what will play off on that field and I don’t need any suspicions." "As far as I know no one will use the field as it is Micah's own personal training area, am I correct?" I asked Belle and she nodded her head. "While we wait, would you like some coffee?" The shop is around the corner and I have to keep an eye on Sheri, something does not add up with their relationship. Belle looked shocked but answered, "Sure." Good, so wipe that shocked face so we can move on with my task. They will sort each other out. She shook her head to get refocused, and we moved towards the coffee shop.

-Micah-

I was amazed at how strong her bond formed with Belle. No one ever challenged me to a battle, but she had no fear. Her anger towards me bothered me greatly. She did not seem to let it go, and I started wondering whether there was more to her anger than just Belle. “Do you need time to warm up?” her question came through coldly. I look towards her, searching her eyes for just a hint of warmness but nothing. She was beyond furious. “No, I don’t need to warm up, but Enigmia, I don’t want to hurt you,” I said concerned. “Don’t you dare call me Enigmia, you don’t get to call me that, ever,” she spat towards me. Those words rubbed me the wrong way and I walked right up to her, looking downward. “Excuse me,” I asked with fury of my own.

“You heard me perfectly clear.” “I recommend you get to your side of the field,” she warned, staring into my eyes.

I was unsure what was going on in that mind of hers, but her coldness towards me was definitely not just because of Belle. “Very well then, with or without weapons,” I asked.

“Whatever makes you feel comfortable.” “Are we doing this or are you going to keep asking questions?” her voice broke through.

She had an effect on me that she did not even know about. I instantly walked over and grabbed her, pulling her towards me, but her elbow connected to my stomach. I released her, and she did a cartwheel jump over me flawlessly. Her foot pushed me to the ground. She was f*****g stronger than I thought.

I rolled my body over to look at her. Her anger towards me was inevitable. "Fine, let’s start then." I pushed her foot off to make her lose ground but just when I wanted to pin her she decided to do a split, then a backward roll onto her feet again and swiped my feet right under me. I laid on my back, completely stunned as I watched her. A smirk formed on my lips as I saw her walking up to me. I took my arms backward and flipped myself up when she was close enough, so I was right against her body, grabbing her front top to slam her to the ground, but my other hand protected her head from impact. I was lying on top of her, my elbows supporting my body over hers, her lips parted from the shock.

“You are killing me here beautiful, I know you can beat me.” I whispered my lips so close to hers I had to force myself not to lose control. She was lying still under me, not a word leaving her mouth. I searched her eyes for any emotion. I saw her struggling with her emotions, her facial expressions giving away her inner turmoil. Then I lost it, I slammed my lips onto hers, kissing her ferociously as if she was the last breath I might ever breathe in. Her arms came around my neck as she started kissing back, and I took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.

“Engmia, please forgive me?” I mumbled between our kissing, but only got back a “Mmm.” I pulled back to watch her, her face as red as a tomato. “Baby, I’m serious, I need you to forgive me, I can’t bear the thought of you being cross at me” I said tenderly, mesmerized by her beauty.

“It doesn’t matter, Micah, you are leaving me anyway for your girlfriend, but if it makes you feel better, I forgive you,” she said, softly closing her eyes as a tear slipped down her face.

“No, you are misreading everything,” I said as I wiped away her tears. “I have never left you, since the day I found you in the forest, I have always tried my best to protect you,” I confessed.

“It was you?” she asked while her tears increased.

"No, No, baby, please don’t cry, I don’t like seeing you cry." "I promise there is nothing between me and Sheri, I’m helping her find her mate, or they will marry her off to someone she does not love." “Please baby, stop crying.” I begged and placed tiny kisses in her neck.

“Mmm, Micah,” she moaned, and I felt my erection grow. I lifted my face and saw the sparkle return to her eyes. My heart gave a sudden beat. “They are just happy tears,” she confirmed, and I slammed my lips back onto hers.

A sudden gasp left her lips and I pulled back. "Are you alright," I watched her, noticing her eyes move downwards and back up, her eyes grew wide with shock and concern. I could not help but chuckle, "Don’t worry, baby, I’ll take care of it until you are ready." "I will never let you do anything you are not ready for." I whispered.

"Thank you, Micah, but we had better get up before someone spots us." "Can I come with on the mission?" She asked. I was so captivated I had forgotten about the people that might spot us. I got to my feet and helped her up. “If it is fine with Jess, you may.”

“Let Sheri join us,” I stated, and he froze. “Why?” I asked her curiously. "You said there is nothing between you, so I would like to know her." "Maybe I can help with finding her mate." She answered, but I saw the concern in her face. "Very well, I will ask her if she is willing to join." I confirmed. "We’ll see each other later", I smirk at her teasingly “I have a very urgent matter to go take care of.” She gasped looking down and up “MICAH!” I moved in to kiss her forehead, I’ll see you later baby.
