Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 123

I stood there, blinking as Drusilla happily collected all her stuff lying around, the candles, herbs, and such.

She had been too nervous earlier, but now there was a certain confidence in her body posture and she was humming to herself as Callahan observed his hand. The small incision I had made with the knife disappeared and there was no sign of the wisp either.

Even I checked my hand, but there was no visible mark of the anchor bond taking effect.

“Are you sure it worked?” Callahan asked while rolling down his sleeves.

She nodded her head, “Well, the wisp did show up, and I chanted all the spells to the best of my ability. I think it should have worked.”

Her gaze switched to me. “Do you feel anything yet?”

I tried to sense if there were any internal changes in my body or mind, but it came back as nothing.

I shook my head, but she came towards me and gave my shoulder a gentle squeeze.

“Don’t worry. You should notice the changes in some time. Maybe a few hours.”

Callahan decided to jump into the conversation. “What type of changes?”

Drusilla turned to look at him. “Can’t say for sure. But the wrist nerve, the one you cut, connects to the heart. Since she is not your mate, she cannot feel your emotions through the mate bond. This is the closest substitute I could find.”

“So?” He asked blankly, and I tried not to show my disappointment at the fact that I was not his mate.

Why did I even think I would be? Or that he would want me as his mate?

“So, the next time you throw a fit and rage tries to take hold of you, she should be the first to sense it. And through the bond, she can also channel her own calmness into you. That should help you keep your uncontrolled transition at bay.”

“And if it doesn’t?” He asked, his eyes narrowing on his best friend.

“You don’t have to be so pessimistic all the time, Cal. It is like you just want to die and I am trying hard not to let you take the jump.” She grew irritated all over again.

Callahan only shrugged, “You mean I am being rational, not pessimistic.”

Drusilla shook her head and threw her hands up in the air. “Look, I am tired. The spell was hard to perform, and I did not pass out in fear that I might do something wrong, but now I need to get some rest.
