The Lycan Series
Bullied By The Lycan King Chapter 70

Violet's

POV

Emily and I started off walking but as the sounds of battle increased ahead of us, she picked up her pace and I followed behind her.

My adrenaline was already pumping, and I couldn't wait to get to the field and join in the battle.

The sound got louder, and the thumps started hitting deep in my stomach. Rather than bring fear or cotd feet, it made me fired up. I was even more thrilled to continue heading straight to where the war was.

I strained my eyes ahead and I saw the men from Emily's husband's pack jump down from their vehicles and begin the attack of the enemy's soldiers. A smile broke across my face, we were going to show those bastards.

I pulled my hands into a punch and prepared myself to jump fist-first into the battle but just as I made to get in, Emily's strong hands stopped me midway.

"Where the fuck do you think you are going?" she hissed into my face as her strong arms pushed me to the wall.

I looked at her with a confusing glare, wondering if she was even thinking because how could she ask me that sort of question when we were at war? "Of course, I am heading to the battle!" I retorted making to throw myself away from her, but her strong hands held me in place.

"I am not fucking done with you yet, Violet!" she hissed, pulling me back.

I rolled my eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. "Okay, what now? I should go back to hiding because you think I can't take care of myself?" I yelled, not caring about the hundreds of war cries going on around me.

Thankfully, the men were too busy dying to care about me.

Emily hissed as she turned her head around to make sure that no one from the enemy side was coming close to us. Then she returned her sharp stern eyes to me.

"Violet, for once in this day, use your fucking head. Get down to the dungeon and make sure that your parents are at least safe! If you don't want to fucking do that, you have friends, don't you? Fucking check on them and stop putting yourself in danger." Suddenly the energy I was feeling bubbling within me was reduced to a small thumbing sound in my head. I realized how stupid I had been. I was more driven by the thrill of the fight, I had completely forgotten about my parents.

"Oh my God," I whispered, as my heart started thumping in fear.

Emily's hissing sound snapped me out of my thoughts, and I focused on her once again, "Don't act like the f*****g human that you are and start pulling up a bunch of regrets on me. There is a chance that nothing happened to them given the fact that they have been working with Willow all along..."

I wished I could say something to wipe off the mockery grin on her face, but I knew there was nothing I could do. My parents had truly sworn an oath to Willow and right now, they might have even escaped!

the thought caused me to snap out of my trance and without saying a word to Emily, I left her side and started running in the direction of the dungeon with my heart in my throat and tears already pooling in my eyes. What if they escaped and left me behind? What if I never saw them again?-Or worse, what if one of the explosions had gotten to them? Fergus never liked humans, he might have outsmarted Willow and harmed them. The fear caused my legs to move even faster and thankfully, the corridors were empty. The enemies had somehow not gotten to this side of the mansion. I took the last flight of stairs and appeared at the last bend. "Mum?" I started yelling, unable to wait till I saw them anymore. My heart was already shaking as I got closer, and I suddenly felt the pressing need to use the bathroom but couldn't bring myself to even think of it. I continued running till I burst through the unguarded dungeon door. "Dad?" I screamed.

But my words died down as my eyes met the commotion in the dungeon. It was as if, they had been waiting for me to get in before they started.

There were pieces of paper and clothing thrown all over the place and everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs holding on to the bars of their cells.

"Princess! Princess Violet! Violet!" The prisoners Chorused the moment I got in. I paused as my blurry eyes tried to focus on what exactly was going en I could not understand what they were up to.

My eyes fell on my father who was standing just like the rest of them with my mother by his side, calling out to me. The noise from the other prisoners made it difficult for me to hear them but I could read their lips.

He was pointing at something behind me, and I turned around to check what it was, but I found nothing. Yet he kept pointing and shouting:

I drew nearer to their cell, and I heard him, yet I wished that I didn't.

"The keys, Violet! Go replace the keys!" He cried out and the rest of the prisoners chorused after him.

My heart froze. I turned around at the empty door once again and back at them. My brain was suddenly slow, and it was taking forever for me to process what was going on.

. When it finally occurred to me, my heart tightened, and I felt the tears I had just fought with start pooling again. There was no way I could release them, even if I found the key. What would Axel think of me? What would I even tell him? "I am. sorry... I can't..." I whispered, too low for the over-excited men to even hear me. I started shaking my head slowly and I watched my father's face change from hope to horror.

"Violet, go replace the damned key and come and get me out of here!" he yelled.

"Dad no... this is not the way. I can't do this. I can't get you out... I want you out of here but not like this... This isn't safe-" I tried to plead with him, but he didn't even let me finish before he snapped.

"Nonsense! Foolish girl! Imbecile! Idiot!" he cursed, turning to my mother. "Look at the animal you gave birth to! She wants to kill me because of that boy king she follows around! Imagine the fool?!" he yelled his body trembling with rage.

His words echoed violently against the walls, and everyone went mute. Only his anger rang out in my ears, tearing my heart.

"I am asking her to get us out of here and she is saying that she can't. How stupid can a child born from your placenta be?" He roared and my heart shattered. He was getting it all wrong.

Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I tried to explain the situation to them. They probably didn't realize that Fergus and Willow had failed. If I found the key and released them, they were going to get caught and killed.

"Dad. It is not the way you think it is. I am trying to help here. You are my parents;

I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. Axel will kill you if you-"

"Violet," my mother's sharp voice called, causing my words to hang in my throat.

My eyes moved from my father's burning gaze and settled on hers. She looked calm-too calm as her blue eyes pierced deeply into my soul. she raised her fingers and motioned for me to come closer.

My legs took slow steps and moved closer to the bar holding them captive

"Mom, I promise, I am not a fool. I want to get you both out, but I can't do that right now, and most definitely not-"

The echoing sound of a hot slap filled my ears long before the sting burned my. cheek and sipped deep to cause an ache to my jawbone.

The world seemed to come to a pause and my hand slowly went up to my cheek to confirm if they were still there... "Mom, you slapped me?" my voice cracked, and the tears increased like a floodgate before I could stop them.

"I will do it a thousand times again if I get the chance." She hissed. "No, daughter of mine would be this unwise!" My mom snapped. Her calm demeanor had only been a vice to draw me closer so she could slap me and now that she got what she wanted, only a blue flame licked her orbs.

"Dad?" I cried turning to him, but he gave me his back instead.

"You no longer have a father, you fool. Get out! Get out of here and get back to your boy king!"

I became helpless, trying to replace someone who would at least understand the point I was coming from, but everyone turned away from me. I was on my own.
