The Lycan King's Affection EIGHTEEN
EVA'S POVOnce I had gotten enough of the diseased flesh under my nails, Amity and I made our way to where Hector was locked up. The guards were nowhere close and even if they were right in front of me, it would not matter.We reached the second isolated chamber. Simply put, it was a room inside a room. Amity proceeded to open the lock of the front gate because I couldn't touch anything at the moment. The gate creaked open, revealing another cell in the distance. The glistening metal against the torch at the side was the only reason it was visible in the darkness. There was someone inside. They were walking in circles. My presence interrupted their mantra, however. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I recognized the face.I approached Hector with caution. I needed all kinds of dubious thoughts to cross his mind while I made my way to him."Eva?" he croaked, disbelief evident in his tone."Surprised to see me, old friend?" I smirked."Old friend?" He snickered, stalking towards
The Lycan King's Affection NINETEEN
CAMILLE'S POVThere it was again. That Cheshire cat smile. I ran a hand through my hair and fixed my masks.I watched Dimitri's eyes squint with scrutiny. "The mask is a part of you, isn't it?""Yeah," I managed to respond, making my way to where Sophia was sitting. Sophia looked at me puzzled. Collins also did the same and I didn't need to be a telepath to know why.The mask was new for them. I only hid my identity when I was using my gifts and now was one of those times. If the situation were different, I would have considered it. But I sat with three people who knew me from my past.My eyes danced across the table. Eva was present, sipping a glass of orange juice as she dissected her food like it was the worst thing she had laid her eyes on.Neal was at the other end of the table. He was busy with his phone and his food was barely touched.Dimitri on the other hand was playing the role of dutiful father. It made me uncomfortable to see it happen in real time because it made me feel
The Lycan King's Affection TWENTY
DIMITRI'S POVDid I count my chicks before they hatched? I wondered as I walked with purpose into the crypt.The cold air wrapped around me with a death-like embrace. The dim light from the torches cast eerie shadows on the stone walls, revealing the morbid nature of the crypt. The scent of dampness and decay hung in the air and I felt my stomach twist and turn.It wasn't the foul air. It was the extinguishment of my hope. I acted nonchalant when this happened. It had become a routine. We would find a healer only for the whole thing to come crumbling down. But I had believed in the nurse. With most healers I had encountered, the adverse reaction was almost immediate. But Hector Menard had been fine for more than nine hours. Why did it have to fail? What kind of cruel test had the gods placed on my family?It wasn't fair. We eventually reached the solitary chamber and the sentinel proceeded to open the door to allow us access. There were many other guards inside. Their eyes flicked
The Lycan King's Affection TWENTY ONE
EVA'S POVWere my eyes deceiving me? Did I just with my own blood and sweat secure the healer's place in this castle?I watched the face of everyone change from disappointment to admiration. I clenched my fist seeing the birds I planned to kill with one stone survive. Hector was restored and well and Cameryn, was here to stay. I was going to slip away just as Dimitri went to talk to Cameryn. I heard him beg for her forgiveness. Which was rare of Dimitri to do and she gave a witty reply to his apology. They were acting like love birds. It was so blatant that I had to turn to Milana to see if she was seeing the same thing I was seeing.Milana as always looked nonchalant. She was secure in that foolish belief that the universe would always align in her favour. I couldn't watch any more of this. I barely took a step when Hector's accusing tone tore at me."It was you, wasn't it?" He yelled, yanking his hands through the space in the cage as if hoping that it would reach me.Everyone st
The Lycan King's Affection TWENTY TWO
CAMILLE'S POVWhy did I somewhat believe what Hector was saying? He had no reason to lie. From what I knew, he had been imprisoned for years. I wondered if it was my pent-up resentment for my sister that made me think like that. When Eva stormed out, she pushed past me and I could almost swear I saw her wear a smile. I stared in Hector's direction again. His face was a plea for anybody to believe him. Nobody really did. Neal was interested. But he didn't actually buy the words of a prisoner of the kingdom and I was intrigued. Mostly because I knew nothing of what transpired after the incident. I had gone cold turkey on this world to live my life as Cameryn Gallagher. I figured there was no point looking back. Because doing that would cause me to falter. I couldn't do that. Being back here, however, was damaging that restraint. I found myself in an almost trance-like state as I walked up to Hector's cage. I wouldn't have stopped if Dimitri hadn't held me by the hand. "You shouldn't
The Lycan King's Affection TWENTY THREE
DIMITRI'S POVBefore my Dad passed from his disease at thirty-five, he had brought me to this very room at fifteen. The man was on his sick bed encroaching death faster than I could find a witch or a healer that could concoct something to help him get better. My old man and I were not close. Hell, we were more like strangers but I did not want the man to die. I knew what his death meant. The giant photos in the hallways told me enough. With each photo, the successor of the Galdina throne got younger. Which wasn't a good thing. There were no assassinations or poisonings. Just this accursed disease rotting us from the inside out. The conversation we had in this room was fresh. "You shouldn't show our enemies your Achilles heel." He told me. "I'm looking for a cure for you!" I had practically screamed at him. "Do you not want to get cured?""Of course, I want to get healed. I was just as mad as you when I was searching for answers. Like you, I put the name our family had in jeopardy
The Lycan King's Affection TWENTY FOUR
CAMILLE'S POVHe was right. Maybe the curse didn't matter. The infection found its way back to Hector but I also saw his body heal itself from the plague and without my aid. His body had developed some kind of immunity to the disease or curse. Whatever it was now. I guess the reason why I had been vocal about it was because of Collins. An inherited disease that affected the males on his father's side was bearable. But a curse?"You're right," I agreed. "If I can heal it, it doesn't matter.""Should we reschedule for tomorrow then? Give you time to rejuvenate.""No," I told him. "I can manage."Healing Dimitri was taking something from me but it did not siphon as much as it did when I tried with Hector which even solidified that Hector's situation and Dimitri's situation were completely different ball games."Are you sure?" He asked.Our eyes met in the middle. I wondered if he was this compassionate to everyone. What would he be like with Milana if he was this protective of me and ev
The Lycan King's Affection TWENTY FIVE
DIMITRI'S POV"Chains!" I roared, securing a collar of unforgiving metal around my throat.The servants who were well-versed in this dance because it accompanied the rise of every full moon, followed my command. Our heritage, like the first one, Lycaon, began as a curse bestowed by a mad god. Yet, we, the Lycans, had turned that curse into our strength—heightened durability, brute strength, and rapid regeneration, were all gifts that came with the curse But it was also accompanied by the inevitable transformation during every full moon.However, this wasn't a night of the full moon. The servants, no doubt puzzled, diligently wrapped chains around me, ensuring they were as secure as ribbons on a gift.As an Alpha, I was a direct descendant of Lycaon. So I bore both the boon and the darkness of the curse. My beast, more primal and bloodthirsty than any mere Lycan, craved something different this time. It wasn't the flesh of innocents but a singular focus—Cameryn's flesh. She was...
