His Miracle Luna-the Forsaken Lycan Queen

The Abandoned Lycan Queen 108 Deacon's POV "What do you mean? What did you get?" I asked with full attention. I even motioned for him to sit down as I thought this would be a long talk.

Abiding by my command, he sat down and rested his one arm on the table, looking worried and completely at ease.

This time, he wasn't merely talking as tiny Beta, but as my best friend. "I think the King's true intention behind this marriage with Princess Elena isn't as easy as it seems think he wants to use her as leverage against you." My brows furrowed, and my body stiffened. Gazing at him sharply, I coldly said, "Explain." He shrugged his shoulders. "I mean, everyone close to you with an eye could see that you got a thing for Pricness Elena. Though no one could probably tell how deep it was, think the King knows as well. And as you may know, Princess Elena is no ordinary woman." I leaned back in my seat as I considered his words. What he said actually made sense, especially thinking back on the King's actions and double-meaning words.

He's the king, and if he really wanted to marry Elena just for the sake of marrying her, he didn't need to give her an ultimatum.

"Think about it, if Princess Elena marries the King, she'll have to gain his favor and he'd have control over her, her father's loyal servants, her people, and even..." he paused, looking atintently before continuing, "...and even a full control over you." My face dimmed. "What do you mean?" "Whether you like it or not, you are a valuable asset in the kingdom, and the king is aware of that. You're a commander respected by every platoon in the kingdom. You're the symbol of command that a king should have," he voiced out in a lower voice.

It's something that everyone knew but no one dared to say.

My father, the previous king, bestowedwith the power of command after I earned the respect of many warriors with my ability. Hence, after he died, Desmond got full control over the kingdom as the king, but since the warriors follow my command, it's good to say that I control the army.

If one gives it a deep thought, I'm a great threat to the throne. If I retaliate, there's a chance I could outthrone him with the warriors in my command.

Was that what he was worried about? But we always had been on good terms. Or was it not as good as I thought it was? "So, what you are saying is that-" Tyson intently looked atfor a while as if to preparefor what he was about to say next. "What I'm saying is that whether he marries her or you marry Elena, that power could slip away from you. The King may take it from you." As good as my relationship with the king was, Tyson was right. He's the king, after all. With power and many things in the equation, I wouldn't be surprised if there are under-the-table intentions I dare not to see through. Gritting my teeth, I replied in a low but firm voice after analysing his words and sorting my thoughts. "He wants to use Elena as a pawn." Laughing bitterly, I added, "So, technically, he would use her to get to me. And you're right, he knows that I won't 1/2 Chapter 108 give up the command so easily. But if it's for Elena... I wouldn't think twice." The thought of that made ny fist clench tightly as the frustration built up in me. "I won't let her be a pawn in a political game, nor do I accept to be play on that kind of game. Elena deserves better than to be a bargaining chip." "You're right. She's a woman of principle, and she wouldn't like that kind of thing." He nodded.

Silence then filled us. After a while of observing me, he leaned on the table and seriously asked, "You still want to marry her, don't you? If so, you can step back now. Voluntarily let go of it and let Elena handle the king's proposals herself. I think she'll prefer that." I nodded in understanding. "I know. She wouldn't want anyone making decisions for her and putting her in the corner." Besides, I'd want her to marrybecause she wanted to aid not because she thinks I only wanted to save her from the corner my brother had pushed her into.

Sighing, the face of Elena's mother flashed in my eyes again, and I whispered, "I've made promises before, Tyson, And now, I need to keep them." Standing from my desk, I paced around the room slowly as I tried to blow ssteam off.

After taking a breath out, I sighed and leaned my hands on the desk while nodding my head in conviction. "I'll return the command. We are not sure e what Desmond really wants, but being the king, he's capable of anything If he really wants to marry Elena, that might complicate things. But if it's really for the power, I didn't want it to be the cause of Elena's frustration. She doesn't deserve that." Nodding his head in understanding, Tyson also stood up, asking, "Then what do you plan to do next?" I paused for a while, steadying my breath with my thoughts "I'll do as what I promised her mother. I'll marry her when she's ready and tforbids it. But tomorrow, I'd talk to her about this matter."

Since my father, the previous king, bestowed this power onpersonally, if I surrender it to myn brother, he'd be compelled to giveskind of compensation. By then, I could ask him to have Elena married to me. But I didn't want to force Elena into anything either, so talking to her would be the best idea.

Tsyon agreed, but then after a short he pause, he added, "Hopefully, that will appease the king. After all, the M loyalist Warriors of Élena's father are now following Elena. Whoever shmarriesry may post a threat in the throne." I shook my head, dismissing it for now, and commanded, "Inform the Ironpaw Pack that I'd visit their pack and meet their Luna first thing in the morning.

Her military power wasn't that influential yet to worry the king. Even if it was, I'd cross the bridge when we got there. For now, I'd face what's ahead of us.
