Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 120

Zenovia

Drusilla turned to look at him, and I saw the way she was beginning to lose a temper.

“Do you not understand that she is our only hope? Yesterday, you had barely gotten out of control, yet. you caused so much chaos.”

Callahan was quick to reply. “Exactly. I am the problem. If anybody needs to take the risks, it is me, not her or anybody else.”

We were going round and round in circles as Callahan kept arguing against Drusilla’s words, no matter how much she tried to make him understand.

And I only stood around like a silent bystander. Drusilla cared for Callahan and it showed, but I also felt nice that he cared for me. That he was not selfish enough to make me do anything and everything just because his life was at stake.

“Cal, you don’t understand. The rogue king and his influence are growing stronger. Yesterday, you just lost your control in front of the servants and maids. They will keep mum about it. Elijah and Zee would too. But what if next time it happens in front of others? The rogue King is already trying to break our unity and show how you are incompetent. What do you think will happen when they see you in your beastly state, like yesterday?”

Callahan replied, “Well, I told you. I would step down as the Lycan King and go lock myself in a dungeon or something and only return when I can carry myself without wanting to rip heads apart.”

“No,” I replied before Drusilla could counter.

“Isn’t that what your enemies want? To drive you away from your people? The witch cursed you so that you had to put distance between yourself and your pack. You stay in this mansion all by yourself while your pack stays elsewhere. Do you think they would like that their King is suffering all by himself?”

Callahan shook his head.

“Look Zenovia. You have barely awakened your wolf and you are still learning how to properly shift. You are inexperienced when it comes to battles and I doubt you would stand a chance against the rogue King, let alone me, when I…when I completely lose it. It is risky. I might injure you, hurt you more than you could take. I would have no sense of right or wrong…’

I interrupted before he could continue, “But that is what the anchor bond is for, right? To stop you before you completely lose yourself. Maybe, the moon Goddess sent me here to help you. To save you and all of us from the future dangers.”

“I am the danger, Zenovia. Why can’t you understand it?”

“The lives of werewolves are filled with danger. Pack wars are as common as something we would discuss for breakfast. I was thrown out of my own pack and if not for you, I would have ended up dead. You saved my life, and I got this one chance to repay you. Don’t take it from me.”
