Their Lycan Queen by Foxtail

Part 2 Chapter 17

Ares POV

I will kill Helios someday, da mn that was embarrassing. Should I poison his food? Or maybe tell Nora

about his visit to her room the other week. There are so many stories I can tell her about little Helios.

Or when he was going to pick flowers for mom and he touched poison ivy and his entire face was red

and swollen for about one week.

I laugh and take a quick shower and then I put on some real clothes and run down to the kitchen. I

know exactly what lam going to do to Helios as a payback. I start with boiling water and then I am going

for the eggs in the fridge and then I will make him some pancakes a la Ares. Haha

But doesn’t it smell weird here? I sniff around the kitchen until I find it, ugh. The food in the fridge has

gone bad, yuck.

Oh the water is boiling and I turn around to see that it is not the water that sounds because I forgot to

put the water on the stove. Oh sh it, Anna is gonna kill me. There is a small fire.

Anna said something about putting a lid on it so I tried to find one but I only found a towel and in my

panic mind I threw the towel on the small fire and saw it go out. Phew.

No, stu pid me, the fire is eating the towel. Sh it, what am I going to do now then? I hear the kitchen

door open and Anna’ s scream. “Fire!”

I cover my ears as she has a high pitch scream but I didn’t

count on Anna coming over and actually pinch my ear. Ouch.

Then everyone else comes inside and Anna orders us out so now I am sitting on the floor while dad

stands in front of me. Helios looks at a spot on the wall while avoiding us and I sit still like a statue,

waiting for dad to say something when Dave comes out of the kitchen.

“How is it there?” dad ask him and he huffs in answer

“We need a new stove and dishwasher and if Anna wanted she would like to renovate the entire

kitchen” Uncle Dave say and I smile

That sounds exactly like what Anna would want. The kitchen is like her baby.

“Where is baby Hannes?” I ask and uncle Dave groans.

“Oh he is with Mariah. She said that me and Anna deserved a night off so she borrowed him” Uncle

Dave growled low.

Yeah, Uncle Dave hates witches. It is no secret but no one is really certain when it started.

“Hmm, renovating the kitchen, perhaps we should do that. I will send Ares and Ben into the neighboring

town and buy stuff but perhaps it’s better that Anna comes as well.” dad says and I nod my head.

I think it would do some good if I could get away for a while, even if it’s only a day.

“I think she would like that as well” uncle Dave says and I sigh

The doors open and we can smell fresh coffee and toast and my stomach grumbles but I sit still on the

floor as dad is still

glaring at me.

“What were you talking about?” Anna asks as she comes over to us and gives my dad a toast and a

cup of coffee.

“We decided to renovate the kitchen so you will take Ben and Ares with you to the human town and do

some shopping for the new kitchen tomorrow. And the rest of us will tear the old kitchen down.” dad

says and I hear Anna squeal with joy.

She throws her arms around dads neck and kisses him on the mouth and I stare at them and uncle

Dave growls.

“Oh right, sorry, I was just so happy” Anna says and hugs uncle Dave.

Dad just shakes his head and chuckles but uncle Dave is still growling. “Sit, brother” Uncle Dave says

and dad looks at him but does what he asks.

Dad sits on his knees on the floor opposite of me. Anna sighs and glares at uncle Dave and I just want

to laugh but I can’t. The feeling in the room is filled with pressure so I don’t dare to do anything.

Anna and uncle Dave walk away but Anna comes back with coffee and toast for me and I apologize to

her.

“Anna, I am sorry for the kitchen, I was just so mad at Helios and I wanted to take revenge on him, I

promise it was an accident” I say and look down on the floor

“Yeah it wasn’t very good but the end result will be better. Oh so much fun I will have tomorrow. You

and Ben will have a lot of work to do” Anna claps her hand and is still smiling happily.

“Yeah, I am probably going along for the sake of economy so Ares is the one that is going to carry

everything” Ben laughs and I growl

I get it, it’s my fault but I have this feeling in the back of my head that it is bigger than that. The smell, it

didn’t just smell of bad food, it smelled weird in there.

“Dad, can you come with me into the kitchen?” I ask and he nods at me and we get up.

We have eaten up the toasts but we take our coffee with us and walk into the kitchen. I walk toward the

fridge and sniff the air. It is still there but it’s weaker now.

“Can you smell this?” I ask dad and point at the bench between the fridge and the stove.

Dad bends down and smells the spot I point at and he makes a disgusting expression.

“Are you guys sure that there was no one else in the castle?” he asks and I shrug

“I am not sure but we were quite occupied, dad” I say and dad nods and opens the door under the

bench and I throw up on the floor.

We found the missing head of Anna’s black cat..

“I won’t complain at all tomorrow, I will carry everything that she wants” I promise my dad and he looks

sad and nods.
