The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 75

Genevieve’s POV

“Gen, please. Calm down.” Hunter steps toward me again and tried to grab me, but I’m so angry.

“Genevieve, we need to calm down. You’re going to lose control.” Ophelia says. I push her to the back of my mind and block her, but I can feel her resistance.

“I didn’t ask for any of it. You could’ve helped. You could’ve let me run away, you could’ve kept Jaden all to yourself by just letting me go. But no. You watched me get tortured, you tortured me. This is not my fault. This is yours. It’s Jaden’s and Justin’s. It’s elder Johns and that f*cking vampire.” I growled. My claws and fangs started coming out, I was on the verge of exploding.

“Gen, calm down now!” Ophelia screamed. She was trying to take over so I shoved her away with more force this time, completely blocking her. Hunter grabs my arm and tries pulling me out of the dungeon but I won’t move.

“For years. YEARS. You did nothing. You had every chance to get rid of me, but you didn’t. NO. YOU ENJOYED MY PAIN DIDN’T YOU?” I snarled. I felt like I was on fire. I was so angry, my vision began to go red and I couldn’t calm down. I couldn’t even if I wanted to.

“No, i-.. please, my queen. Genevieve, have mercy!” Serene screams. Fear is all I smell around me, fear and anger.

“Genevieve you’re not right. Something’s wrong.” Hunter grabs my face but pulls away and winces. The smell of burned flesh fills my nose.

“Genevieve? Genevieve?” My mind went blank as the rage took over and I felt the fire drip from my fingertips. Serene is in the corner screaming, begging me for her life but I do not care.

“Mercy! Mercy!” Serene pleads with me, tears flowing down her face. I feel my feet leave the ground as I glare at her.

“Where was your mercy?” I asked. I felt nothing as the fire shoots past the cell bars with a force. I watch in slow motion as the flames lick Serenes’ skin, making it bubble and sizzle. It’s like nothing exists outside of this fire, Serene and I. We’re telling a story. The ending of one anyway.

I never would’ve pictured myself being here today. Not like this. Not more than half an hour ago I was so happy, telling everyone the news of my child. Then I felt anger. But now, now I feel peace. Peace, as her skin melts off of her bones. Watching one of my tormentors burn for the pain they caused me.

I don’t know how long since the fire stopped, I just know that I couldn’t stay awake after it did. I felt lighter, but my heart felt darker. This is who I’m meant to be?

Hunters POV

Genevieve stood there with a blank expression on her face, but all around the room, all you could feel was rage. So much rage it made me angry. How does someone so tiny hold so much anger?

When the fire died down she just stood there. She didn’t move or blink, didn’t speak or anything. She just stared at Serene, who is now 80% ash. I felt a growl escape my lips as Genevieve’s red eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell to the floor.

Luckily enough I made it in time to catch her before she hit the ground. I barely had enough time to process what just happened before 4 guards and Mark are standing in the dungeon hallway.

“What happened?” Mark asked with a worried looking on his face. His eyes flash to Genevieve before looking at the cage.

“Did she-?” I cut him off.

“Have her remains sent to whatever family she had and have this cell cleaned,” I said. Mark was about to say something but he didn’t, and just nodded his head instead. As I carry my pregnant mate through the palace I notice people staring.

“Get back to whatever you’re supposed to be doing.” I snapped. The servants quickly turned away and went right back to their tasks.

Walking up the stairs Dakota stops me halfway.

“What the h*ll happened?” Dakota asked as she peered down at Gen.

“I don’t know. Everything was fine one second, but the next? Goddess.. it’s like she exploded. Literally. If the cells weren’t made of concrete it’s wouldn’t be left. The bars of the cell? Melted. She burned her alive right in front of me.” I said. She walked with me as we made it to my room.

“I didn’t think she was capable of taking a life. That’s just not who she is.” Dakota says as we enter my chambers. I lay Gen on the bed and mind link the doctor to come check her out.

“I didn’t either. But she did it. And she’ll have to do it again when it comes to the trials.” I said. I k**s Genevieve’s head and lead Dakota out. Stepping into the hallway I notice everyone else is here.

“How is she?” William asked. Everyone looks at me with sorry eyes, but I don’t want that. I’m their king. They’ve no reason to be sorry.

“She’s.. sleeping. The doctor is on his way to make sure she and the baby are in fact, okay. I never should’ve brought her down there. There’s too much going on. I should’ve just dealt with it myself.” I said. I rubbed the back of my neck and leaned against the hallway wall.

“It’s not your fault. How could you have known that was going to happen? And what did happen, by the way?” Mathew asked. I looked at everyone and shook my head.

“It’s a lot. She.. she burned her alive.” I said. I’m sure everyone already knew that part. I went on to explain everything, and of course when I got to the part where I was stupid and accused Genevieve of sleeping with Jaden, even though I knew she wasn’t being treated right there. I didn’t realize he was r*ping her.. I just thought he wanted her bad. Dakota lunged at me kicking and screaming, calling me a f*cking i***t. That I should’ve known better and she’s right.

“Sometimes you can be completely oblivious to some very obvious things, brother. Any of us could’ve told you we suspected that he did. I mean they were monsters to her. Look at her body. Those scars say more than words ever can.” Dakota said. I felt my eyes sting as tears threatened to show. I’m the worst mate ever.
