Betrayed Heiress: My Second Chance Mate is A Lycan King

Aira’s POV

“Oh… They’re already here,” I muttered under my breath as I saw Jace and Ana standing beside an incomplete building very close to the forest.

As I got out of my car, I wondered why they asked to meet up there. The place was very lonely with very few passersby so I couldn’t help but wonder if I was in some danger, especially since it was late.

But I needed that money. I couldn’t let him have it. I thought, maybe, he didn’t want me to call the cops whilst handing the money over to me and when I saw that it was just him and my sister and that he had a bag in his right hand which I assumed was the money, my mind was finally at ease.

I approached them a bit cautiously as they talked to themselves in low tones. As soon as I got to a few feet in front of them, a bunch of men all dressed in black stepped out of hiding and immediately surrounded me.

“What is this?” I asked, looking around for an escape route but there was none.

Jace and Ana shared a kiss and returned their gazes to me smiling. “You could have gone when you had the chance,” Jace spoke in a very low tone. “Now, you leave me no choice.”

I went down on my knees quickly, clasping my hands together as tears rolled down my cheeks. “Please, don’t do this, Jace,” I begged as he stared blankly at me. “I promise, I’ll never come close to you. You can have all the money. Take it. It belongs to you. Just spare me and the baby. I’ll take her away from here and we’ll never come back.”

He nodded and the men grabbed me, tying my hands with a long, black rope. “It’s too late, Aira. You should have thought about this before showing up here,” he sneered. “The nerve you have to threaten to call the cops on me. Did you think I was going to let that slide?”

I turned to Ana who hadn’t said a word since the men in black showed up. I knew she hated me but she couldn’t have been okay with killing her sister, right?

“Please, Ana. Don’t let him do this to me,” I begged, doing my best to break free from the hold of those men but they were way too strong. “You’re my sister; my twin. Don’t let him kill me, please. I’ll leave you both alone, I swear. Please, I don’t want to die. My baby…”

I wailed as she scoffed at me, shaking her head and holding onto Jace’s hand. I couldn’t believe my eyes. My own sister wanted me dead.

“It’s so sad that it has to end this way,” Jace said, as he and Ana made their way out. Goodbye, Aira. I just want to let you know that I regret none of my actions including this one.”

I bowed my head to the ground as the men bundled me up, knowing that my end was near. They led me into the deep forest and made me sit in front of a tall tree.

“You might want to say a prayer to the goddess,” one of the men remarked, pulling his sword and placing it on my neck.

I shut my eyes in expectation of the inevitable, counting numbers in my heart…

One. Two. Three. Four…

Suddenly, I heard a strange sound and quickly opened my eyes. I witnessed a bunch of werewolves in their wolf forms jump on the men, tearing them to shreds in a few minutes.

Three men managed to escape, running as fast as they could but the wolves chased them down and caught one of them as the others slipped into the darkness. They dug their claws into his body, tearing him apart until he was unrecognisable.

I shook in fear as all four werewolves approached me, glaring at me with their golden eyes. My fingers trembled as I tried once again in vain to break free.

All my life, I’d never beheld a wolf in its animal form. I used to hear it in stories but I never knew it was possible. It was referred to as shifting and no one in my Pack had ever done that. Well, none that I knew of.

Each step they took made my heart skip. I felt as if it was about to jump out of my chest and I wondered… Were they about to kill me like they killed the other men?

Well, they didn’t. Perhaps, my time hadn’t come yet. Or perhaps, even death didn’t want me either.

Instead, one of them picked me up and placed me on his shoulder. Then, they all took off with unimaginable speed.

They came to a halt in front of a large house and the man let me down from his shoulder. It was a three-storey building made entirely of glass and two bald men stood in front of it with a cold visage.

Looking around, I could tell it wasn’t my Pack. It was certainly somewhere else; a place I’d never seen in my life despite having visited several Packs.

They led me into the building where a few men were already gathered as if they were expecting them. There, a tall, huge man with long, blonde hair stepped down from his chair and made his way to me with a huge grin.

Turning behind me, I saw that the wolves had turned to their human forms. They untied my hands and declared, “Behold, our Queen!”

All the men in the room rose to their feet and bowed before me, except for the huge man, as I watched on in shock, unable to comprehend what was going on.

“Queen?” I asked in my heart. I was no Queen. I had no clue who these people even were.

“Not long ago, we got a vision that our Queen was finally coming to our Pack,” the tall man explained. “It was shown to us that she’ll be present in the deep forest. That is why we went there and now, you’re here with us, our Queen.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The men cheered, clapping their hands in excitement while I just stood there, confused, certain that they had mistaken me for someone else.
