Lycan King's Nemesis

Chapter 63



GWEN??

"Hello, King of animals, it's nice to see you again," Spiky said behind me and my stomach clenched first from the bad breath oozing from his alcohol-stinking mouth and second from the presence of my mate here.

I might not say it more often, or maybe because we are often at war or because majority of the time I was hating him and wishing he paid for all his ails towards me, but then, looking at my mate now-even in the middle of being killed which I knew I will die anyways-he seem to have grown more handsome, masculine and attractive in the last few hours.

"Is this the best you can pull?" Ashton asked him quietly, nodding at me as he crossed his big arms over his chest, causing his biceps to flex and my stomach twisted like my guts was about to rip.

Wait, did he just ask him such a question in the middle of everything that is going on? I am about to be fucken killed by this stinky breathe for fuck sake! "Ash_"

"Don-don't say a word." His eyes squinted in anger as he bent his head to the side to send home his point. I knew he was mad at me for leaving the palace without telling him.

How did he even know I was here in the first place?

"Yo." Williams suddenly busted out from the same door he did, holding onto a human whose neck had dislocated from his body. Upon seeing us, he dropped the body and dusted his hands. At the same time, I caught the remnants of his claws retracting. "What do we have here?..." His eyes landed on me. He touched his forehead and released a sigh. "Thank goddess you are alive, my Queen."

Spiky started shaking like he was electrocuted and when I shifted my head to the side to glance at him, I caught him laughing. "That will not be for long, lapdog," he screamed at Williams, making me wince. "Your King had the guts to touch my men. I asked him to come here alone but look at what I have here..." His hands grasped my neck tighter and from here, I heard Ashton growl aloud like he was about to lose it and charge at us.

I closed my eyes, knowing this will be my last day on earth. There was no way Ashton would save me. He will be happy that this man wants to kill me and finally rid him of my disgusting self. I only wanted to help the poor woman still sleeping in the arms of Tyler who I notice hasn't said a word since the appearance of Ashton. He must be going through shock like me.

"Whoa, slow down, Sweetbaby, he is here as you asked. There is no need to be rude to my Queen. Please, stop what you are doing." William was grinning sheepishly and making the 'calm down' gesture with his hands as he spoke. "Tell your King to restore the damage he has done or I swear to God, I will rip out the throat of this whore." I squealed, reaching up to hold onto his hand as my lungs became too constricted in lack of air. But that doesn't stop me from hearing the thunderous groans of Ashton.

"Please, stop this. We can resolve this amicably," I tried again. Why do men have such fat irrational egos?

"Let her go, Sweetbaby." Ashton stepped one foot forward, his fingers balling together. "I am not going to say it again. Let her go." He emphasized the words.

"Or what are you going to do? Weep at my feet?"

"Sweetbaby..."

"My King." Williams suddenly stepped in front of Ashton, acting as a fence between him and us. "Let's be reasonable befo-" He didn't get to finish his sentence as Ashton veered past him in such speed of light that I didn't even see him move until I was plastered on his body and as I turned in the direction of spiky, he was nowhere to be found.

"Son of a bitch!" Ashton pushed me to Williams and took off back to the place we came from.

"Wh-where is he going?" I panted, asking in a state of wonder.

"After Sweetbaby. The bastard was lucky the King wanted to save you by all means if not his guts will be splashed all over the place by now."

"We have to stop him. We have to lea...." I staggered back, becoming dizzy possibly from the manner Ashton snatched me from Spiky. In a flash I dashed outside and puked until my throat was a patch of nothingness.

"Are you okay?" Tyler asked above me. I nodded, patting my chest. Goddess, today has been eventful. I just want to go home and rest. It's already taking a toll on me.

"I am fine, Ty." I stood and smiled at him. "Are you okay?"

He smiled and reached out his hand towards me when from the back thunderstruck. Only that it wasn't the actual thunder but the voice of Ashton.

"Get away from her, you vermin!"

"Ashton!" I cried out in horror.

Ashton's face was a mask of death as he wagged his forefinger at me repeatedly while storming forward. His mouth was moving like he wanted to curse me out and at the same time was thinking about it. "You are a disgrace to me and the entire clan of Lycans, Gwendolyn. How dare you disrespect me by going on such a foolish venture with this bastard?" He reached us, grabbed Tyler by the collar and slammed him at the nearest wall at full speed.

I ran there, held his waist and pulled him back. "Please, stop, Ashton. You will kill him."

"I will kill him because he has proven to be a problem to me."

"He saved me." I was crying by now, tears pouring down my face in tides. I looked back looking for Williams and saw him coming in lathe gait. "Please, let him go. I'm to be blamed for this."

"No, I am to be blamed my King, punish me," Tyler croaked and my eyes widened. Why will he take the blame for something I made him do?

"Ashton, stop!" Williams grabbed him by his left arm and dragged him off. I surged forward to cup the cheeks of Tyler who was bleeding all over his face from Ashton's aggressive attack.

"I will kill you if you don't stay away from my wife," Ashton growled, pacing about with his arms akimbo. Hot anger was oozing from him. "He nearly killed her! Imagine if Sweetbaby had been in one of his stupid moods." I heard him saying but wasn't paying attention as I helped Tyler off the wall.

Ashton snapped his head at us, in two strides he clutched my arm and yanked me away, leaving Tyler staggering back. "Don't you ever touch him again, and you," he snarled at Tyler. "She is my mate and your Queen and if you think fooling around with her will make you her favourite," he chuckled menacingly, "then think twice. Once we get back to the pack, you are grounded for a fortnight and if after you still encourage her lascivious behaviour, then get ready to be fed to the vultures."

With that, he dragged my appalled self all the way to the car and dumped me inside. Went round and entered and as Williams joined us, he zoomed away from the yard.
