Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 68

My ears twitched at that name. Elijah promptly disconnected the call while I stood staring at him in surprise.

Were my ears deceiving me?

“Did you get a scolding again from the King” Lasked, pretending to not have heard him take some other name.

Elijah slipped the phone in his jeans pocket and mumbled, “Oh, nothing. The King had to leave for some urgent meeting and Cynthia does not want me to disturb them.”

My face fell.

“Oh, I did not know she was a part of official meetings. I commented, showing mild interest.

Elijah shrugged. “Her father is respected among all the packs. You could say that other than Callalian himself, if there is anybody else that the other alphas would listen to, it is her father. So strategically, it is important that the two work closely together.”

I nodded but could not help but ask. “But why would King Callahan need an alliance? He is strong and powerful on his own.”

“He is. No doubt about that. But the rogue menace has been increasing a lot. And after the attack in the hospital, the one where you were also around, he feels that maybe he would not be enough.”

Damn. I always thought that Callahan thought of himself as invincible, untouchable. My thoughts must have reflected on my face, because Elijah quickly added,

“It is not his own life that he fears. But his friends and close ones. The hospital attack almost killed Dru. Most of us were gravely injured. You were in a deep sleep for almost 2-3 weeks. After that, he has invested a lot of time and money in devising new strategies and upgrading the security of the packhouse and this mansion as well.”

“I understand. He is responsible for everyone’s safety, not just his own pack.”

Elijah agreed. “Yes, and as much as I would like to keep you company, 1 have things to do. It is almost evening now, so you could probably take a stroll through the garden or just rest a little.”

“Sure” I replied

I had forced him to be with me all day, but I knew I could not keep him around 24/7. Plus, I did not want Callahan to snap at him for no fault of his.

Thus, I did not pester him more. After he left. I walked towards my room, but everything around me reminded me of the arrogant Lycan.

I could see his office as I climbed up the stairs and recalled the way his hands had gingerly caressed me when I had spilled hot tea all over, from the huge window I saw the garden, specially the spot where they had set up a dance floor and the way we both had danced on it, and then I reached my room where I had begged him to sate my heat.

I groaned in frustration.

Wanting to keep myself occupied. I headed to the bathroom and decided to take a nice, long bath.

When I stepped out of the bathroom after thoroughly shampooing my hair and spending hours soaked iri the scented water in the bathtub. I felt a little refreshed.

I changed into comfortable pajamas and decided to just lay in bed. I had nothing to do but surely I could read or watch something on the phone, maybe.
