His Rebellious Lycan Queen

Chapter 7

(Luciana POV)

"Your highness, he is awake." Melisa said as I raised my eyebrow.

"About time." I muttered as I followed her out of the room.

It's been 3 days since the incident happened. During the time there were a lot of commotions.

For one, the security around me increased. James made sure the protection barrier around me was twice as strong.

I also extended my visit until my mate wakes up. Alpha Kennedy and his family were more than happy to have me here.

The council, on the other hand, was not pleased. They were against the fact that I stay away from the palace more than the needed time.

But it was not as if I was going to listen to them. As of now, my presence is not needed in the palace. And with the help of James, all my work is sent here.

As long as I do my job as the queen, they can't deny my right.

"No! Absolutely not! I am not going to that hell! f**k this s**t!" I heard my mate shout in the infirmary.

"Nero, she is our queen and your mate." Alpha Kenny's voice boomed and it doesn't sound even a bit pleasant.

"I thought you want to me to be the pack beta!" Nero growled but before his elder brother could say anything, he stopped seeing me walk in.

"Greeting to your majesty." everyone bowed as I nodded with a smile.

"Greeting."

I looked at my mate who was looking away, purposefully ignoring my presence.

"How is he, doctor?" I asked looking at the main doctor.  His eyes widen in surprise before he started to search on his file.

The shivering of his hand resulted in his folder falling.

"Shit." he cursed as he tried to pick it out. I laughed before helping him.

"Your majesty, I will take care of it!" he panicked as I gave him a few papers I picked up. "Sorry." He mumbled picking it up.

"No worries." I smiled as the doctor blushed.

This kind of reaction is nothing new for me. Being able to talk to the queen directly is rare for commoners and in most cases, they panic.

He started to go through his file explaining everything.

During the 3 day's sleep, Nero was able to collect his energy back. He had small wounds but those were completely healed.

All in all, he is healthy and ready for discharge.

I looked at Nero who was staring at my wounded hand. Well, it has already healed and only had the knife mark but it was still tightly wrapped to calm Melissa down.

"When is he ready for travel?" I asked the doctor but before he could answer Nero shouted.

"I am not traveling anywhere!" he glared as I raise one of my eyebrows at him.

"This is your queen's order." I said calmly.

He growled and moved his body closer to mine.

"f**k your order!"

"Nero!" his brother suddenly shouts. Now he looked really pissed off. "Do not disrespect your queen."

"It's alright, Alpha. Calm down. I will take care of this matter." I said. I could feel the anger oozing from him.

Being a directly sworn subject of mine, he will feel a need to protect me, and sometimes that can be very dangerous.

I looked at my mate calmly with a void face. "You have no choice Alpha Nero. You are to obey me no matter what"

I can't believe I am doing this but I let my eyes glow a little making the atmosphere turn cold.

The symbol in his palm glowed as he growled in pain.

"What the f**k!" he cursed holding his hand.

"I have already marked you as my personal protector."

I smiled as he growled.

Marking a person as a royal's first hand person is rare because they are directly elected by the Queen. And as of now Melissa and James were the only ones to achieve it.

Well, now Nero is the third one.

Since they directly serve the Queen they enjoy special privileges and could not be looked down upon even by the nobles.

"I didn't want to do it, Nero. But disobeying your master is something you shouldn’t do." I said, my eyes still glowing.

"You marked me." he grunted making me smile.

"You forced me to."

"How the f**k did I force you."

He still sounded in pain so I lowered the intensity of pain to a minimum.

"You don't want to be my mate. How can I get a chance to prove my love for you without a chance?"

He looked me straight in the eye. His eyes were void as if he knew those words hold no value.

"Nero, don't you dare give a snarky remark." Alpha Kennedy interfered as my mate turned his attention to the older male.

Their eyes glowed and I knew they were having a silent conversation.

"One month. That is all you get." he growled turning to me with an annoyed look.

Clearly, his brother has threatened him in some manner.

I smiled and nodded at the offer. I guess in one month I will be able to prove my love?

I couldn’t help but give a silent chuckle.

Prove my love?

I am not sure if it's true. Maybe I have a soft corner for him because he is my mate but love?  It feels like I am giving both of us a chance to fall in love.

It was something I dream of having since I was young.

'A person you will be able to be your true self without any fear.' mom would always say. I have lived in this cruel world alone. I have buried everything deep inside my heart.

I always drew a barrier between the world and me. But with him? I feel like there is no need for such a barrier.

Surely the mate bond makes me feel attached to him. It makes me want to kiss him, take him in my possession and make sure no other woman dares to make a move on him.

"Tomorrow." I announced as everyone looked at me. "Tomorrow we go back to the castle."
