Traded To The Lycan King

Chapter 29

"Colette POV

I can't help but feel bad for Caspian, as he looks away from me, unable to look me in the eye. It's obvious that he may not have a queen now, but at one point there was someone he cared for, loved maybe.

I tilt my head, taking in his graying hair and the way his skin seems to glisten as if he dusted with a soft morning dew. He is a handsome man, looking dashing in his expensive clothes as he eats in his silence But king of the council or not, he is still a

man, or part man.

"What is it like?" I ask, making him pause mid bite. "The ocean?"

He places his spoon down. Caspian turns in his chair to face me, his curious eyes taking in my face a spark of interest in his deep grays.

"And did you enjoy it?"

I nod, giddily. "The water is magical."

"It is indeed." he gives me a tight smile, before clearing his throat. I glance around the table. Everyone's eyes are on us, watching me like I am spinning some b, ready to catch Caspian and drag him away or something.

Then he sits back in his chair, looking between me and Merikh before he clears his throat once more and picks up his utensils again, then straightens himself out to eat the rest of his dinner. -You trained this dog better than the last one. He mutters, before scooping up food and pushing it into his mouth.

My jaw drops and Merikh's arm tightens around me, a warning not to say anymore. My gaze once again slides around the table, taking in all the unfamiliar faces who try not to stare or gawk at me and my embarrassed, red cheeks
