Their Lycan Queen

Chapter 71

Melinda’s POV

Ares is in the castle somewhere but what about Helios then? Where is he? Perhaps Ares can trace him.. I hope so..

Mia sensed him and she went to look for him, she guided us up in the castle. we walked a lot of stairs and I looked at the paintings on the way there and it was one painting I needed to remember. I need to look at that one again later on.

Mia stopped at a door that led to a tower, well the only tower in the castle.

“Are you sure he is in there?” the king asked and Mia nodded.

“Yes, I can feel his aura in there and..” Mia said but stopped as the door opened and a very confused looking Ares stood there.

It was just one problem though…

ARES POV

I tried to move around carefully and I discovered that I was still in the castle somewhere, I couldn’t just figure out where. Everything seemed strange here. I found a small hole and I looked out and noticed that I was high up.

In the forbidden tower? Can it be so simple? A mage used to live in this tower, like a witch but he used potions to create magic or something like that. I can see some bottles over there and a few papers and a guy in the corner.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

A guy in the corner?!

“Who are you?” I ask and I am suddenly surprised how my voice sounds.

“I am the greatest wizard of them all…” the guy says and I stare at him.

“If you tell me that your name is Merlin I will kick your a*s” I say and my voice still sounds strange

The guy laughs and coughs

“No, no I was just teasing you. My name is Luca and I was the mage of this tower once in time”

“Wait but then you are over 500 years old!” I say excited.

“Oh has it been that long already?” Luca says and I sigh

“Well can you help and perhaps get some light in here?” I ask

“Sure I can do something about that” Luca says and I can hear him open a bottle and then there is a little ball of light inside the room.

It is indeed the tower now that the light is on and I can see more clearly. But as I look around I can see that everything is quite big. Even the mage, Luca, is quite large but he seems young for his age.

“So what is a kid doing in here and how did you come in here? There is a spell surrounding this tower. so not anyone can come in here” Luca says and looks curious at me.

“I am no child!” And I am one of the princes’ of this kingdom” I say and stand up just to discover that I am not taller than

“1

Luca even though he is sitting down.

I look down at my hands and see that they are small and so are the rest of my body. I feel my face and then I look around for a mirror and Luca points at one and I walk over to it, afraid to look in it.

But I have to see and when I open my eyes and go straight for the mirror I get furious. They changed me into a small child, it looks like I am about six years old.

“What in the hell?” I say and sit down.

“Oh this isn’t your natural look then?” Luca asks and stands up and I shake my head.

“No, I am a grown man already and I have a mate as well.” I say and shake my head.

“Oh that is good” Luca says and nods his head.

So how do I get out of this tower? I need to do that so I can protect my mate. And stop a blo ody war.” I say and look at Luca.

“A war you say?” There are plenty of wars in the world and even if you and this kingdom manage to stop one there will always be another. “Luca say but shows me a door that leads to a staircase

“Come with me” I say and point downwards.

“I can’t leave this tower” Luca say and I shake my head

“Yes, you can, I have witches on my side that can help you out of this tower” I explain and I can see some hope in his eyes.

“Well I don’t believe that a simple witch can help me but let’s try it” Luca says and goes before me down the stairs.

and

We walk slowly as the staircase is old and some of the steps are missing and some of them break when we step on them. But in any case we can climb down safely and we are met by another door.

“So this is the spell I was talking about, it is embedded inside the door and thus closing me inside ” Luca sighs and leans onto the wall next to the door.

I look at the door and it looks normal so I reach for the handle, it feels normal, a bit cold like metal usually does. But I twist the door handle and the door opens nicely just to reveal Mia and Melinda on the outside.

Dad and uncle Dave are also there and all of them looks really surprised to see me

“Shut up, I know that I am turned into a child so don’t tease me. Melinda can you help my friend out of the tower?” I say and look at Melinda and she nods.

“Well I could have but you have already done it. You broke the spell since you are of royal blood. The spell was designed so it could only be broken from the inside by someone with royal blood” Melinda explains and Luca shakes his head

“Was it really that easy? Then I am free right now?” Luca asks and tries to take one step outside of the door and everyone holds their breath but nothing happens.

“Thanks to all of you. Let me repay the favor. Here drink this and you shall be in your normal size” Luca says and gives me a bottle with green liquid in it.

It looks like puke. Yummy
