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. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

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.

It was just lying around and I had not even checked all the features except texting. So, I took the phone from the side table and saw that a few text messages were waiting for me.

I eagerly opened them, but it was from an unknown number.

Wondering who it was, I checked it and read the first message.

-Hello, are you okay, Zenovia? I wanted to see if you are doing fine.-

Lopened the next one that read:

-Hey, this is Harry. Did you forget me already? I want my $500 back-

I

was fuming when I read that message. What did he think of himself? He conned me, broke my trust by trying to sell me as if I was some lamb and now had the audacity to demand money from me?

Didn’t Sid give him enough already? I saw him throwing a thick wad of notes back at the club.

I wanted to lash out at him for being such a dick, but I decided to simply ignore the texts so I deleted it.

Next,

there was another message, again from an unknown number.

-Hey baby girl, how are you?

“Baby girl”

Only Sid had called me that. He was creepy and threw cheesy lines at all the girls. But how did he find my number?

Probably he had taken it from Harry

But then why was he texting me Did he not fear Callahan?

I was not sure if Gallalian knew about this Should I inform him? But then he was busy with the Cynthia’s father.

I stared at the screen for a long time, wondering if I should reply back or not.

Then another message popped up from the same mumber.

-I know you are angry with me, hurt even. But I only did everything for the park. I will even help to prove your intocence to Alpha Drake-

This was definitely Sid.

And 1 should have thrown that phone aside, but the name of my father made me hesitate. Was Sid really being honest?

By now, I knew he was obsessed with me. He had made sexual advances on me many times and had openly declared that he

wanted me

But Luna Celeste, his mother, had an iron grip on everyone. Sid was her loyal minion, not just her son, who she used to make people bend to her whim.

She had manipulated my father into believing that I was the culprit. Could it be that she was manipulating Sid, too?

After all, I had lived with my father all my life and she had easily deceived a grown up man, an alpha of a pack. If she could trick an adult by her conniving nature, she could easily toy with Sid, who she had raised as a child.

I hit my lower lip nervously.

Was I reading into this too much, or could this be the truth? As much as I was upset over the fact that the evil woman had a vice like grip on my father, I loved him.

A small part of me still hoped that he would see through her lies and deceit. And as much as I was wary about Sid, I knew that I could use him if I wanted to expose his mother.

He could help me if I led him into believing that I had forgiven him and wanted to give him another chance.

The cogs in my mind were whirring as one after another, more reckless, more dangerous, thought entered my mind.

Sid was a link to all of the issues-his mother’s debauchery, the rogue King and all the mayhem that had occurred.

Maybe I could put an end to all this if I played tactfully.

Thesitated for a while before deciding to reply to the message. I had to act like the naïve and stupid girl he thought I was.

Thus, I sent the following message,

-Who is this?-

The reply was instant.

-You know me. I have wanted you for a long time. I am sorry about everything. Please, forgive me-

Okay, he was being cautious, fearing that the phone was not with me.

-No, I don’t know you. This is an unknown number. Please identify yourself or I will block you-

I waited patiently for the phone to ring again.

Had Πιν threat really scared him? I kept staring at the phone for a full five minutes before the much awaited beep sound reached my ears.

I hastily opened the text message and read:

-Baby girl, I am taking a great risk by contacting you. I thought you would never reply. I am Sid, your lover and well-wisher-

Well-wisher, my foot. He was the one who had filled my dad’s ears with nonsense about how I was the one to force myself on him.

He would have to answer that later.

Right now, I had to gain his trust to know more about this rogue King and possibly rescue my father and pack from that evil birth.

I typed a furious and angry message at first, but then calmed down and wrote a much tamer version of it

-Sid, you were going to inject me with

* some medicine to imprint upon me. What makes you think I will trúst ·

All the drowsiness and earlier frustration disappeared from my mind as I got interested in the conversation.

-Please, I am sorry, baby girl I did not want the rogue King to even come near you, so I had to mark you to protect you from his lust. I admit my method was rash but my intentions were only to save you from him-

Such a liar. I wanted to lift a rock and throw it at him. Did he think I was so stupid?

-The Lycan King will be pissed if he knows you dared contacting me again. So stay away from me-

I could not start talking to him excitedly after what had happened or he would grow wary. I had to slowly make him believe that I was beginning to think about his words.

-He needs me to tackle the rogue King. Don’t worry about me. I know you love me too. And I promise, I will get you out of there soon. I’ll contact you again later. Take care-
