The Lycan King's Rejected Queen
The Lycan King’s Rejected Queen Chapter 7

“HE IS NOT A STRANGER, HE IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME.”

“Special to you?” Alina heard Crystal’s voice. She turned around and saw Crystal standing behind her with a bag. It looked like a bag of clothing.

“Alina, say something. Who is more special than me to you?” Crystal asked.

“It’s noth-” Alina was trying to say but Delta Darren interrupted her.

“Why would she tell you? It’s not like you are her parents. She doesn’t need to answer about everything.”

Crystal got angry and said, “Okay fine. Don’t tell me. I am going back to the car.”

“No, Crystal, don’t get mad.” Alina said and was about to follow her when Delta Darren stopped her. “Don’t follow her. She is just acting. When you go and try to talk to her, she will happily talk with you again.” Delta Darren said to her.

“That’s because she is my best friend.”

“She is your best friend but does she think the same as you?”

Alina frowned at him. “Why are you saying this?”

Delta Darren sighed. “I think you are a good woman. Don’t believe people blindly. Sometimes many people are very close to us wearing a mask but we can not understand their real identity. So we should open our eyes and try to see their disguise.”

Alina was confused. “What are you saying? I can’t understand. I know she is a witch. But she will be our Royal witch so don’t say these things about her. She is not like that. Even our former king loves her a lot.”

“I am just saying this to you because I think you need to know, after that it’s your choice to take the advice or not.”

Alina didn’t want to argue but he was talking about her best friend. Crystal was the only one in her life who cared for her. She was with her for ten years. They were living together for five years. She could doubt anyone but her.

Alina tried to change the topic and asked, “Should I buy something for the King?”

“No need. He doesn’t need any gift from anyone. He is the one who was bestowing us the life we wanted to live. Your best friend just bought a gift for the king because she is into him, otherwise our king doesn’t need it.” He said and walked to his car.

Alina was surprised. ‘So he knows that Crystal likes the king. That was why he was talking those things about Crystal?’ Alina shook her head.

They got into the car. Alina turned to Crystal who was leaning her head on the seat and closing her eyes.

Alina thought she should not disturb her. She thought Crystal was tired and sleeping.

They went back to the pack house or Alina could say ‘The Lycan Palace’.

When the car was entering the outside area of the palace. She looked at the Lycan Palace. Yesterday when she saw it, it was evening time. She only saw it in the dark. But now she could see the outer beauty of the Palace in the sunlight.

It was very beautiful from the outside. It was gray colored with some black blocks everywhere. There was a dome in the middle of the palace which made it more beautiful. She tried to see the side of the window where she met her mate. But she could not see that side. She guessed it was the opposite side of the palace.

When the car stopped in front of the main gate of the pack house. Crystal went out of the car before Alina could tell her to wake up. Alina saw her and thought, ‘Wasn’t she sleeping a while ago?’

She and Delta Darren came out. Crystal entered the house first. Alina sighed. ‘She is still mad. I should have persuaded her in the car. Now she is angrier with me.’

She and Delta Darren entered the pack house and saw Atlas and Daisy talking.

“Uncle Atlas and Aunt Daisy, I bought gifts for you both.” Crystal said happily.

Alina frowned. ‘Didn’t we buy those things together? She only bought the king’s gift alone. Then why is she saying this? Now, what about me? They will think of me as a rude woman.’ Alina thought.

Atlas was happy to see his gift. Daisy took her gift from Crystal when she saw Alina standing there.

“Alina, come here.”

“Yes, Aunt.”

She went to sit on a couch. Crystal ignored her.

“Uncle, where is Aaron?” Crystal asked Atlas.

Delta Darren came to them and said, “How many times have I told you not to call him by his name? Do you forget who you are talking about?”

Atlas chuckled. “It’s okay Darren. She is our child. She can call Aaron by his name. Aaron adores her, he won’t mind it.,”

Delta Darren glared at Crystal who was smirking at him. Alina was watching everything. She looked at Daisy and saw she was not happy with what his husband just said.

Daisy stood up and said, “It’s time for lunch. Let’s go, everyone.”

Alina thought about how long they were in the village side. They went out early in the morning and came late at noon. Now it was late for lunch. ‘Why didn’t the royal couple have their lunch yet?’ She thought. But she was also feeling hungry. They had eaten some food at the village market but that was two hours ago so now she was hungry.

Everyone stood up and went to the dining room. Alina sat beside Crystal though Crystal didn’t talk to her.

Daisy told the maids to call everyone for lunch.

One by one all the officials came and sat on their seats.

Beta Lucas came and sat. He said to everyone, “King Aaron is coming to join us.”

Alina was nervous, she had never seen the king.

She heard gossip in the village market. People said that he was the most ruthless king in history. He never took time to kill. In his one order, all the Lycans got out of their realm and attacked in different packs. But he was enough to demolish any pack.

The door of the dining room opened and Alina lost a beat of her heart. She was smelling the most alluring scent again. She felt happy when she understood whose scent it was. She thought her mate came to meet her.

But then she heard Crystal, “King Aaron, you have finally come!”

Alina immediately turned her head to the door and saw her mate alone standing there.

She was shocked and asked herself,

‘HE IS THE LY-LYCAN KING???’
