Chapter 55
Chapter 55 Daniel POV Melinda is so much more than I deserve, how in the world will I be able to keep up as her mate? Sure, she looks older thanbut I guess I have s50 years or so more than her. I have wanted to meet my mate for so long now and now that I have, I don’t know what to do. I saw how Helios and Ares were with Nora but I don’t want to be like them. I want to be with Melinda even if she runs away from me. I guide her through the corridors as we cto prince Helios first and I watch Melinda as she performs her magic. Healing him without even breaking a sweat and she just walks over to one of the other warriors and heals him. I look down at Helios when he suddenly sighs and says her name. Nora. Oh sh it, I left Nora’s side the moment I found Melinda and I have felt so conflicted about this. My own mate but I have a duty toward Nora and I have let her down to chase my own. emotions. Nora was everything foruntil I touched Melinda. I sincerely hope that Maya isn’t my mate as well because I am not so sure that I will want her as my mate after she tried to kill Nora. No matter what Nora’s safety is my top priority but with Melinda, I don’t know anymore. Ari, my lycan, is keen on keeping Nora safe and then Melinda’s safety. Perhaps it’s because Ari has always been in Artemis’ shadow, 1/5 always protecting her and Melinda is a witch that can protect herself. But the matebond tellsthat Melinda is my top priority and Nora is my second. This is so frustrating. I growl at my thoughts and instincts which makes Melinda flinch and stop what she is doing. “Is everything alright?” Melinda asks and I look at her. “No” I say and turn away. “Is it because of me?” Melinda asks and I sigh
“Yes and no” I confess and she sighs as well “Daniel. I know that you lycans only have one mate and that you never get any second chances. So
finding your mate is a big deal and all but we really need to talk about this. I don’t know if I am ready to accept being a mate to a lycan. Not even a regular lycan, but the future queen’s guardian as well” Melinda say quietly But I can’t respond as I close the distance between us in a few steps. I stare down at her and then with a little force I take her and press her againstand kiss her as softly as I can on her lips. She tastes of strawberries and rain and I am howling in my head. I back her up against a wall and start touching her all over. I am letting my hands roam her body freely and when I squeeze one of her breasts lightly she moans and I can smell that she wants more. I move slowly with my hands down, taking tand yet trying to hurry, exploring her body. She isn’t thin but not fat either, her curves are on the right places and her hips are wide. I let one of my hands down to her butt and give her a light clap on 2/5 it. She moans even more now but she doesn’t stopat all. I continue and gently, testing, put my hand inside her jeans, caressing her butt and slowly touch her heat, between her legs. She gasps and I smirk but continue to kiss her and she responds eagerly. I touch her pu ssy slowly, teasingly, feeling her getting wetter by the second, pinching lightly on her cl it. Letting two of my fingers rub over it and down between her lower lips, rubbing, building up the friction and I feel her body tremble and I know by instinct that she is near, so near and I.. “Ahh” she moans and tears away fromas her or gasm. causes her to twitch and she needs air from all of my kisses. I take out my hand from her jeans, still wet from her juices and I lick my fingers while she looks at me with lustful eyes. “Do I.. taste good?” She gasps and blush hard and I just smirk “Heavenly” I say with a low voice which make her moan “Well, that was a bit envious to watch but can you please helpnow?” a voice says and I turn my head to see the king’s brother standing in the doorway to the dungeons. Looking exhausted and blo ody.
“And who did you kill?” I ask and look at him. “No one, but I can still feel that da mn witch’s spell over my mind and I don’t want to hurt anyone else” Dave says and looks away which makeswonder who he has hurt. “It was you that slashed that woman’s face, wasn’t it?” Melinda asks as she stands up from the floor. “Anna?” I ask and look at Dave and I can see that he is | ashamed of himself “I lost control” he says and I look at him. “Melinda.” Dave, here was one of the rogue lycans, crazy from the curse but Nora healed him, brought him back. Can he lose himself again?” I ask Melinda and she looks at him with curiosity. I watch as Melinda walks slowly toward Dave and touches him. lightly with her blue magic and then she gasps and smiles. “No, the future queen’s magic is strong, you won’t fall back into the craziness where you were before. And I will now take back my sister’s magic…” Melinda say but looks confused “There is no magic huh?” Dave says and I look at him confused now and Melinda looks up at him and shakes her head slowly. “No, this seems to be your and your lycans doing. He is violent by nature. Oh, it’s a part of the curse, it has to be. Wait, I will give you something.” Melinda says and puts her hand into the air next to her jeans. “What are you doing?” I ask and tilt my head. “Uhm my bag, it’s invisible except forso” Melinda explains and in the next second she holds up a pendant with a dark blue stone in it. “Keep this with you and when the stone turns white, I will cright away. It’s better when the stone is dark, black even because then you and your lycan are in harmony with each other” Melinda says and smiles at Dave. “Thank you miss Melinda but what did you mean it’s a part of
475 ||| the curse that my lycan is violent.” Dave asks and I wonder the same. “Well, your first mate was the queen, right. But then SHE broke your bond and your wounded bond latched itself onto another woman. But when the curse cand ripped away your bond again it sort of latched itself onto the curse. So if I have right when the curse is broken, your bond will repair itself and your lycan won’t be so angry anymore” Melinda explain
