Traded To The Lycan King

Chapter 41

"Will you be okay?" Merikh asks me, his voice low as his eyes stare into mine. I cross my arms over my chest, trying to show the indifference I don't feel.

"Of course I will be." I tell him, pointing over to Penny. "I have Penny to keep me safe and entertained."

"What has he not been entertaining enough for you?" Hayes asks, slapping his brother's shoulders, laughing. His laughing ceases when he notices Merikh and I exchanging a look of irritation and he puts his hands up, taking two steps back. "Noted, you both need to get laid." he grins before turning and walking out the door.

"If you want, I can stay and we can-

"I'm fine, Merikh," I mumble. "Truly. I have Penny and if I'm being honest, I could really use some girl time."

He nods, looking at Hayes and then back at me with an unreadable expression.

"I won't be gone long," he mutters, slipping out the door. He leaves it open, probably hoping I will watch him walk away, but I have better things to do than stare at him as he walks away, But I know I'm kidding myself thinking I won't stare at him til he disappears into Hayes' room with him.

It feels weird, watching Merikh as he walks away with Hayes, taking him to his room just down the hall. It doesn't matter if he will be gone for seconds or hours. I am used to his presence yet again. But with Penny being here, he now feels safe, giving me a little more space. At least, for now, that is.

"Sooo," Penny smirks at me as she walks over to the couch and plops into the plush cushions, making a dramatic show of how comfortable it is. Her eyes roll to the back of her head as she pretends to faint from comfort and I chuckle, walking around the side and taking my seat.

"So what?" I ask, arching a brow. "It sounds like you something."

She bites her lip and grabs a blanket. are waiting for something from me or waiting to tell me

"Now that I have seen Perc, I can fully focus on you and the mess of your love life."

I roll my eyes, a scoff tumbling from me.

"What makes you think it's a mess?" I ask her, but I know she has a fine tuned intuition. She chooses not to answer as she gives me a knowing glare and I cover my face in embarrassment.

"I thought everything was better," I whine, uncovering my face. "He finally let me explain the thing with Grady and he realized I was telling him the truth. But..."

Her face falls from excitement to disappointment.

"But what?"

"He has been lying to me." I whisper, frowning.
