After Betrayal: A False Heir for the Lycan King 45
ELODIE“What are you doing here?” I glared at him. My brother was draped in a white shirt, blank pants and staring at me with a charming smile. He now had a noticeable chin stubble but aside that, he hadn’t changed that much. Except that I noticed he’d gotten a bit lean. The kind that shows he must have been going through a lot of stress lately. Still, that didn’t stop me from maintaining my stance, my hand holding even more tightly onto the doorknob. Damian sighed as if he expected my reaction. “Yes, I know you have the right to be angry. But can you please hear me out first?” I stared at him with a flat expression. Then reluctantly looked behind me, “Excuse us, Payden.” She nodded, about to heed when Damian cleared his throat. “I want us to speak outdoors.” My head snapped to him. “Do you think you have a choic—” I was cut off midway when he grabbed my hand, dragging me through the hallway with him. Does he have any idea what he’s doing? I only gave him the chance to lay do

ELODIEIt was late. I supposed every one would have gone to their rooms to rest. But three maids were waiting outside my room’s door for me when I stepped inside the house. I was wet. Messy and disheveled. As much as I would have loved if I didn’t come across anyone, since I couldn’t exactly undo it, I didn’t stop walking. “What’s going on here?” I questioned as I stopped in front of them. They all gave respectful bows before one of them took the lead and spoke, “The Lycan King asked that we take care of you.” My expression distorted into confusion at that instant. Lycan Maximus brought me to the house himself. I might have came in before him but one could basically say that we arrived at the same time. So how could he have ordered them something like this within such a short duration… My thought was abruptly cut off as it dawned on me. Mind-link. He must have mind-linked them. After getting off his back like that and adamantly entering the house on my own legs, I didn’t expec

ELODIEBefore I could sell myself out any further, I snapped. “Why would I be jealous?” I scoffed ridiculously, moving past him and weaving through the lake before he could get to me. Jealous, my foot. “Well if you say you aren’t.” Lycan Maximus uttered in a way akin to disbelief, so quietly I almost didn’t catch the words. I sighed, stepping onto the shore. “I am not. Believe me or not,” I firmly told him, my eyes lingering on his smug expression before darting over to Payden. I was shocked to see she was still frozen in the same spot. “Are you going to keep kneeling there?” For the first time, I felt annoyed at her. How would Lycan Maximus believe she had nothing to do with my decision to skinny dip if she was going to continue wallowing? Catching the fury in my voice, Payden hurriedly scrambled off the ground. Shaking my head, I turned back around to see the Lycan king was far ahead. I instantly grabbed my top and started walking whilst putting it on, the sound of Payden ambl

ELODIEShame curled with the overwhelming jealousy in my chest, and I realized I had seen enough. What good would it do to continue watching them? I walked away from the dining hall, my heart sinking low into my stomach. Maybe what I had just witnessed was a cue for me to stop being so attracted to Lycan Maximus. I hadn’t been able to admit it to myself all this while, and now I could see it was because I already knew in my heart that nurturing feelings for someone like him was a bad call. He might be my mate now, but our union has been nothing but a contract. He could reject me anytime. So if what I had just seen told me something, it was that I should tame my attraction to him before it grew into something bigger and uncontrollable. I spent the rest of the day locked in my room. When night began to fall, and just as Payden came to carry the dishes, an idea struck me. “Hey, Payden.” I called out. She turned around quickly. “Yes, ma’am?” “If you’re not currently occupied, how ab

ELODIEIf there had been anyone else in the room, maybe I would have had to guess whose laps I had fallen onto but it was just him and me in here. That only meant one thing. I choked on air at the thought, my eyes shutting in embarrassment. How? How could this be? I would have been satisfied with falling face flat on the ground. Why did I have to land in his laps of all places? “I wish to allow you to remain in this position but then you would have to adjust yourself well, munchkin.” Lycan Maximus demanded, whispering in a single breath and my eyes snapped open at once. I glanced down at us. By adjust, did he mean shift closer further onto his laps? A gust of shock and disbelief hit me at the same time. “I’m so sorry, Lycan. I was just taken aback.” I laughed nervously, and attempted to stand up only for him to place his hands around my waist, forcing me back into position. My eyes widened, the question ‘what are you doing?’ on the tip of my tongue, but he spoke before I could.

ELODIE I remained lying in bed even as a new day broke and the sun began to stream in through the curtains. Oddly, it did not feel uncomfortable, neither did I have any urge to get out of the bed. Even though I been awake for the past three hours now. Which was probably because I wasn’t ready to deal with the aftermath of last night. When I had gone to Lycan Maximus to propose sleeping in the same room like married couples do, I never really thought much about it. Until he turned down the idea, and I felt like the weird one for bringing up something like that without a convincing reason. Because now, he must have the wrong impression of me. For him to have asked if I brought up the idea because I was starting to see him in a new way, there was no doubt he thought it was for my own selfish interest. I heaved a shameful sigh, wishing I could somehow sink deeper into the endless pit of the bed. But I was yanked out of that delusion by the sudden sound of my door knob rattling. Wait

ELODIE Tonight, my father was stepping down from his position as the Nightstalker pack’s Alpha and handing it over to my elder brother. As the only daughter of the family, this could be a spouse finding event for me and I was supposed to be moving around, putting my face out there but I haven’t mo

MAXIMUSAs the silence stretched between us, I let my eyes trail over her body which was wracked with silent sobs, my expression unreadable. I broke one of my rules on our first encounter. I regarded someone of low rank. Although some other times, I could have allowed my men to put her in her plac

ELODIE“What test? There’s nothing wrong with me,” I said almost immediately. Although I kept my expression calm and almost serene, a flicker of annoyance crossed my face. “But if you continue to insist,” I added coldly, even as my voice nearly trembled, “You’ll be leaving me with no choice but to

ELODIEI kept running until a loud, broken sob ripped from my chest.I had no idea where I was, but I knew I hadn’t made it home. Yet. I tried to keep running, needed to, but my body betrayed me. My legs wobbled underneath me, my lungs burning and making it impossible to breathe properly.Slowly,
