Lycan King’s nemesis Chapter seventy-three
**GWEN**My head was banging, that was the first thing I noticed as I came to, long before noticing the hushed voices whispering in the background. I winced as I tried to open my eyes, my right hand flying to my forehead.Why does my head feel like I was smashed with a waterside rock? It acched terribly. I shifted on the bed until I was facing the people standing in the middle of the room, their stance portraying they were presently disagreeing over something.First of all, I was lying on my bed, in the same clothing I wore to the arena this morning, and the only light in the room was coming from the window. It wasn't night yet. I raked my head to recall how I landed here from the arena and why my head ached so badly. Nothing was adding up. I sat up slowly, so subtle that the three people; Ashton, Abby and Williams didn't notice. I parted my mouth about to ask what was going on when like I was blasted back from whatever bubble I'd been huddled, I remembered. My eyes flashed daggers,

**GWEN**"I can manage on my own, Tyler," I waved him off with a slight smile, hoping he would heed to my plea and leave. From the black bags under his eyes and the manner his collar bones were sticking out, I could deduce he hasn't been having a proper sleep. Possibly because of the games."I can't leave you here, you know that," He grumbled, and pushed my wheelchair further into the temple yard. I didn't know if to be grateful to him for being here with me, for being the kind of friend I needed right now or to be irritated by his peskiness. I requested him to bring me with the idea that he would leave once we reached the gate. Tyler wasn't a fan of temples. According to him, he said he stopped believing in the goddess after she allowed his former pack people to humiliate and exile him. I might not have grown up with Tyler, however, these past weeks we have spent together as friends have given me a beamlight into his history and the kind of man he was."Tyler, you know what will happ

**ASHTON**It's been three days. For three days I've been hiding away in my study, waiting, hoping that my mate would bulge and summon for me. And for these three days, she had ignored me, not looking for me.My wolf was agitating, telling me to go to her, to keep trying to win her, to make her forgive us over what happened the other day. It wasn't my fault, yet, Fangs expect me to beg. After all, Merit was the nemesis of my recklessness. If I hadn't fucked her, she wouldn't have gone rogue. And today, when I awoke this morning, I made up my mind to do it. Call me stupid. My mate was hurt, I shouldn't care, considering that was what I always wanted. To break her, make her cry every day that she will give in and reject me, leave and never return so I could go back to my former rakish life; a life of excessive enjoyment. Having so much fun without consequences. That was what I have always desired. Until she came along. So, why should I care? Then slowly, these past few months of bic

**GWEN**I clicked my tongue and made up my mind to ignore Merit. As I veered to leave, her next comment stopped me, igniting the fire that I had managed to quench inside of me."I see you are still ashamed of your woeful defeat at the arena on Tuesday, huh?"With speed I reached in front of her, my two hands connecting with her shoulders, sending her back. Unfortunately, she doesn't fall, it was not as if I did something. Her lips quirked to the side in a mocking smirk. "You are such a weakling and I keep wondering what my dear King saw in you in the first place. You are not fit to be our Queen."The more those words flowed, the more my heart boiled, pouring over. I wanted to hurt Merit so bad the way she was hurting me. I needed to make her pay, yet I didn't know how to. "Are you happy with yourself now?""Huh?""You should be the one ashamed of yourself hovering over a man that is already taken. What? Don't you have a mate somewhere?" She growled, her Lycae eyes flashing at me the

**GWEN**By 4:15 pm, I was properly dressed in a burgundy knee-length body con gown to match with a peach slight stiletto heel. I sat in front of the mirror as Kora adorned my hair with silver pins in a simple chignon style."Has there been any meeting these past three days, Kora?" I asked her, watching her move from the mirror.She shrugged, her eyes meeting mine steadily. "None, your higjness. For now, there won't be much meetings until after the games.""Okay..." Is she lying? If not, why would Ashton have those bags and look that way? He had a week load of stubbles on his face and his colour was pale, not to mention his hair and clothing. "Besides, with the ball of appeasement approaching, there are bound to be several meetings, most of which would run through the night. So, the elders are trying to preserve their energy for it. Even the King."Ball of appeasement? I've never heard of that. Instead of asking her-which would seem awkward- I would rather ask Abby later. "Where has

**GWEN**"I will come to check on you later, Gwen," Tyler said as he dropped us off at the palace, totally ignoring Abby by my side. I don't understand why they can't seen to comport, and right now, ‘someone’ might be watching from ‘somewhere’. My eyes itched to look upwards at the numerous windows, but managed to control myself.I clasped my right hand around Abby's left wrist when she made to leave and then I leaned into Tyler's car and whispered, "Hey, you need to come out and...you know, even though a goodbye."Abby snatched her wrist away with a loud gasp. "Ohmg, I can't do that. Think about Williams!""I can't do that." Tyler simply declared. I shook my head impatiently, letting out small curses. "Do you guys realize Ashton might be watching right now from his window up there? Don't forget that was how he knew I was out this morning with Ty."To external eyes, they wouldn't notice, but me that was closer, I saw Abby stomp her feet, plastering on a faux sweet smile as she took a

**GWEN**"H-how did you know about him?""About the man you cheated on me with?""Ashton!"He smacked his hands together, stood up and in a flash, grabbed me by my forearm and ripped me off the couch. I struggled but he didn't yield as he proceeded to the bed where he shoved me on. I bounced off to a sitting position, my heart pulsating. How did he know about Julian?Is he digging into my profile or what? Does he know about my shameful background?While my head swirled with questions, he strolled off to the table and grabbed a bottle of oil. The main bottle of my lavender. He went on one knees once more, pouring a little portion into his palm and rubbing them together. "I told you to answer my questions.""I-I don't know what you are talking about.""Oh..." He clutched my right leg and yanked forward. I winced, eliciting a mild cry. It was so painful."You know, that day when I heard you say his name in your sleep, I really didn't care. I knew werewolves are not trustworthy, and knew

**ASHTON**"They're fucken the same!" I downed the third glass of Scotch for the evening as fury sizzled through my body at the thought of Gwendolyn. I was close to believing she was different, that perhaps, she wasn't like Emma after all. And for the second time, I survived being fooled by the same breed of canines.Indeed, I fell into her trap. Like I did to Emma. Yesterday after I tried to persuade her not to go with my sister on the outing with her mate, I was certain she was going to agree. She wanted me. I knew that. I saw it in the way she looked at me, endured all the things I did to her, craving for my absolute acceptance. Unknown to me, she was a snake, cunningly toiling hard, waiting to strike at the right time. It wasn't up to an hour later, and I saw her leaving the palace dressed like a whore. One would think she was the one whose mate was taking out. That mutt even came to pick them. And I fucken saw the way he looked at her."Stupid rogue!" I squeezed the glass betwe
