A Lycan's Hybrid Mate

Chapter 17

Kage's Pov

Finally after an hour more of driving pass countless trees and passing a familiar village, we came upon the huge black iron gates of the Argyris palace. The tall cream colored brick walls with neatly short trimmed bushes lined among it and stretched as far as the eye could see. I could tell the palace grounds took up great amount of land.

Very soon the heavy gates started to open inwards. The car slowly moved in as the other two and Romanov's car followed.

Just as I had expected, the inside was magnificent. The driveway was long and broad; statues of fierce wolves at both sides lined among it. The wolf statues had their mouths opened where a beam was placed. At both sides there were rosebushes trimmed into mini mazes. I could see gardeners tending to the wonderfully made gardens.

As the car crept nearer to the end, a huge fountain greeted us. On the top of it was a statue of the moon goddess holding a bow and arrow, pointed towards us as water poured out.

Behind that fountain, was the building where the Argyris family of lycans resided. The Royals.

I started to feel uneasy and tensed as I looked and admired the building.

The palace was a beautiful work of art. It's architecture design was truly mesmerizing. One look at it and you could tell it was centuries years old. It was strongly built with its golden colored stone walls and columns. It's height seemed to be of atleast four floors. It was very broad and huge. A lot of space was taken up. The roof was flat. It seemed that people could go up there. Well, most likely the guards to keep watch from a better view.

The car came to a stop as it rounded the corner of the fountain. I looked to my left and saw the creative double doors made out of stone and wood that were opened with a maid on one side and a butler at the other.

Very soon, a few guards started to surround the car. I tensed up a little and decided that Romanov should be calm enough by now. Yup. I was still in his lap after all that driving.

I tried to remove myself yet again but a warning growl escaped from him. I could tell he tensed up as well but more out of irritation perhaps mainly because of the guards outside. I sighed.

"Romanov...."

"Hmm?"

"You do know we've arrived right? You have to let me go-....get up so I can get out of the car." I told him as I quickly dismissed the part about 'letting me go' or else he might be even more reluctant.

"Also, what you're doing now could make the King and Queen hate me even more." I stated as I side-eyed the guards in the car with us.

'And would want to get rid of me even more.' I thought.

I could sense the two guards in the front glanced at us before looking at one another then exiting the vehicle.

Romanov's grip on my waist was firm. He looked up at me. My expression held seriousness but I was totally panicking on the inside. To be honest I didn't want to go but I had to. I stared into his golden orbs that were hard.

He huffed and removed me from his lap himself. He opened the door and got out the car.

'Okay then?....'
