The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 100

Genevieve’s POV

I didn’t even think before I spoke.

“Would you like to hold her?” I asked, noticing he was staring hard and April.

“I.. if you don’t mind.” He says. I smile and nod my head, placing April in his arms. It’s like the second he was holding her, his entire demeanor changed. It was like, I could see the humanity slowly come back.

No, Gen. You can’t get too attached. I say to myself. This was easier when I believed he was nothing but a monster.

“She’s amazing.” He says in almost a whisper.

“Yeah, she is,” I said.

“I remember when your mom was this small. She always had a serious face going on. It was the funniest thing I’d ever seen.” He said.

“Would you like to see her?” He asks.

“Your memories?” I asked and he nodded. Hunter came and took the babies and I grabbed Viktor’s hand, going through the memories of my mom growing up. From infant to toddler to teen to adult. She was exactly how he described. And now that these are my memories too, I can visit them any time I’d like.

“I miss your mother.” He said.

“I miss her too,” I said and I pulled us out of the memories.

“Gen, it’s getting close to time,” Hunter said. I looked up at the moon in the sky.

“Which trial am I?” He asks.

“The last one,” I said. I looked down at my fingers and fiddled with them.

He placed his hand under my chin and lifted it, making me look him in the eyes.

“You have to do it.” He said.

“I don’t think I can,” I said. I was so sure of myself earlier and now? I’m more confused than ever.

“You can, and you will. I can finally be with your mom and my mate again.” He said. I looked up at him as tears filled my eyes. We’ve only just met today but I feel like it’s not enough.

“Wait. Nikolai is my ancestor too right? Can’t I just use him?” I asked hopeful. My hopes were crushed when he looked at me sadly.

“It has to be a direct descendant and Nikolai just isn’t. He’s not even my full brother. It has to be me.” He said. I couldn’t help myself as I jumped at him and gave him the biggest hug I could muster.

“I don’t want to. I only just met you.” I said as tears fall down my face.

“It’s my time, Genevieve. I wish it could be different, but this is the way it has to be done,” he said as he hugged me back. I felt a hand on my shoulder and pulled back, looking up at Hunter.

“It’s time. They’re being brought out.” Hunter said and I nodded my head slowly.

“Let’s get you ready. You know what to do right?” Viktor asked and I nodded.

“Come.” He said. He walked with me to the sacrificial circle and helped me grind the herbs.

Connor walked Jaden to the circle and unlocked his chains.

“What is this? What’s going on?” Jaden asks looking at me. Fear fills up my nose and a smile creeps onto my face.

“What I was meant to do,” I said.

Jaden went to run out of the circle but I had already sealed it. He smacked the invisible barrier and falls straight on his a**.

“No! You can’t. We were meant to do great things! Genevieve, you can’t be serious? After everything?” Jaden asks. I look up from the book in my hands and glared at him.

“After everything? That’s exactly why I’m doing this. I have to. So shut up.” I say waving my hand toward him and his lips disappear.

“Now that! That is what I call a queen.” Viktor said proudly.

Viktor grabs a vial and walks to Jaden in the circle. I swipe my finger in the air and Jaden’s throat slits wide open. Viktor holds the vial under Jaden’s neck, gathering the b***d then he moves back to his spot beside me.

“Genevieve you need to start now.” He continued. I raise my hands from the ground up, fire rose from the circle as Jaden lies in the grass holding his throat. All that comes out are muffled gurgles.

I set the bowl of herbs on fire and begin chanting what the book reads.

“Evigila, dimidium sopitum meum. Evigila, et unus mecum. Spiro vitam in maga sum. Evigilare.”

•” awaken my dormant half. awaken and become one with me. breathe life into the witch I am. awaken.”•

I said it over and over until the circle fire went out.

“Now!” Viktor and Hunter s****m in unison and I raise my hands and let the fire find its way to Jaden. The fire melted his skin in an instant, and all I can think about is that day with Serene.

“You deserve this,” I said as tears flowed down my face. I continued holding the fire until there was nothing but ash left of Jaden.

Viktor walks up to his ashes with the vial in his hand and gathers some and brings it to me.

“You need to drink his b***d and ashes to complete it.” He said. I lift the vial to my lips and quickly down it, wanting to throw it back up almost instantly.

A felt the familiar surge of energy flow through me as another piece of me clicks into place. I feel stronger, more in control.

I look at Viktor who’s looking at me with an expression on his face I’ve seen all too well.

“I could tell you I was happy before I came here today but that would be a lie. I knew the moment I smelled you. And I felt a piece of me come back.. you know.. your mother would be so proud of you. Look at what you’ve done. You are stronger than I could’ve ever imagined. And I will die with my heart beating again, thanks to you.” He said. He walked up to me and hugs me tightly.

“Take care of those beautiful children. Family is so important. Without it, I lost myself. Don’t let that happen to you. And do what you must with Nikolai. He was a danger to you back then, he’ll be a danger to you now.” He said. He pulled away and bit into his wrist, offering me his b***d.

“I’m sorry,” I say as a tear falls down my face.

“Don’t be sorry. The world will not miss a monster like me. This is exactly who you’re meant to be. And this is exactly who I was meant to be. Now drink, before it’s too late.” He said.

I grabbed his wrist and pulled it to my lips.

“If you do see my mother, tell her I love her,” I said.

“It’ll be the first thing I do.” He said and smiled. I placed my mouth around his bite and begin to drink his b***d. The bitter taste caught me off guard at first but after a second it wasn’t half bad.

“Rip out my heart.” He said. Tears fell down my face as I looked him in his eyes.

“Do it, Genevieve.” He pushed me.

“I’m so sorry.” I cried. I moved so fast it almost didn’t register that my hand was inside his chest gripped tightly around his heart.

“I’m gra-grateful t-to have ha-d today wi-with you.” He stuttered out. And I nodded my head.

“Me too,” I said. I pulled my hand out of his chest with his heart still in my hand. I watch it beat slowly once, twice, three times, and then it stops. I look back at Viktor as his skin turns grey and his body turns to ash.

I felt the energy again and felt my senses sharpen even more. I feel like I could move a million miles per minute.

I sat there on the ground for a while next to Viktor’s ashes as I watched Mathew rip Gregory apart. Next, it was John’s turn.

“I think I’m done for the night,” I said, looking over at Viktor’s ashes. Hunter nodded and helped me up.

“We will handle the others. You go do what you need to do.” He said and I nodded. He leaned down and kissed my forehead.

“I love you.” He said.

“I love you too.”

I head inside and the first thing on my mind is a shower. Exiting the bathroom I see Hunter sitting on the bed watching the babies in the bassinet.

“Do you feel better?” He asked as he stood up and walked toward me.

“Much,” I said. He pulled me into his chest and I inhaled his scent.

“How does it feel being complete?” He asks.

“It feels.. good,” I say.

“Good because I have something for you.” He said.

“What?” I asked. I realized the second his knee hit the ground and he pulled out a little black box.

“Genevieve, will you marry me?”
