After Betrayal: A False Heir for the Lycan King 52
ELODIE“What are you doing?” Maximus’s voice rang out in my mind. My pulse spiked and I tried to block off his mind-link, but he was like an unstoppable storm. “Come back to the packhouse now, Elodie!” He ordered sharply, his tone strict and at the same time laced with a hint of fear. I carefully moved faster down the path in front of me. I didn’t want to imagine what was going through his head. All I knew was that I had a limited time. I needed to do what I had to do before the Lycan king would come after me or send out his men. As much as I wanted to run, I couldn’t risk my pup’s life. Instead, I reached inside my dress and retrieved the handkerchief I’d slipped out of Cassandra’s gown pocket when she attacked me in the dungeon.I brought it to my nose and inhaled deeply, searching for her scent. The moment I caught it, my senses sharpened. Her scent was dawdling in the air around me.Cassandra was much closer than I’d thought.I began to walk faster. I was about to round the

ELODIEAn Hour Earlier…“Now that I think about it, I should take you out of the picture now.” Cassandra said under her breath, her grip tightening around my neck. My body shook underneath her and I began to choke on air. It didn’t seem like she was just joking. The pressure she was applying to me was enough proof, and I could actually die in a matter of a few seconds if I didn’t get her off immediately. I winced as she lowered her body on my bulge. Gone was the fear of dying. My breath seized, and all I could think about was the pup inside me. Shit. I fought to raise my hand. Just as I was about to try to nudge her off with it, the gate burst open. “Get away from the Luna Queen now!” The guard that led me to the dungeon rushed forward. As he grabbed Cassandra, pushing her off me, instead of standing up, my hands went limp by my side and I pretended to have fallen unconscious. Instead of getting me away from the dungeon, and locking Cassandra up, the guard was going to focus

MAXIMUSWhen I left Elodie’s room, it was with mixed feelings. A part of me wanted to go back to her and take back my compliance to stay far away from her. But then a bigger part of me wanted to stick with her choice, and see how long it’d take until we were back in the close proximity she was running away from. And honestly, I could already tell how torturous the latter would be. What if the unknown string between us doesn’t pull her close? What if she only drifts farther away from me? “You have an urgent call, your highness.” A guard walked up to me. He fell behind me as I walked to the study room. The door closed and I went to my desk. Where a tablet laid, ringing. It was an unknown number. I looked toward the door. Why would the guard call it urgent then? After a few seconds had passed and the caller only seemed to grow persistent, I decided to swipe the receiver button. “Finally. I was about to give up.” Dante Dawson’s bristle voice came from the phone. Now I could see

ELODIE“I don’t want to.” Lycan Maximus said after a long pause. I was taken aback. My mouth opened, about to speak when he continued. “I don’t want to reject the bond. Not until I am certain. But as for your other wishes, I’ll abide by it. I’ll leave you alone, Elodie.” Once that was said, he proceeded to the door. Without sparing another look at me, he left, the door closing softly behind him. I had no idea how long I spent watching the closed door. I just knew it felt like a decade. “We kissed. Did I do the right thing by putting him at arms length after?” The thought ran through my head. Then came the guilt. It sparkled through my chest like electricity and I crawled into my bed. My face buried in the pillow, I screamed loudly into it without hesitation. What have I done? I was jealous. I was afraid Alicia was here to have him to herself. I was fidgety about the kiss, felt it was a huge mistake, something that never should have happened. And the way he spoke… the hurt in

ELODIEMy breath hung in my throat as Lycan Maximus’s lip came down on mine. I didn’t see it coming. But I guess I did want it. He had asked me a question, and I was literally hypnotized by him. I had told myself I was going to stop. Told myself we have a contract binding us together and that was all that should matter. Only to discover my heat had come. And when wolves are in heat, they are uncontrollable. That must be it. I couldn’t have wanted him knowing it’s against the rule of…My thoughts trailed off the Lycan’s hand lowered from my face and slipped down my waist. He lifted me in the air, eye level but with his mouth still connected to mine. I didn’t know if to call it an enticement this time but I couldn’t make any attempt to pull away either. He sat on the couch, placing me on his lap so that my legs were by his sides. And then, the kiss continued. His fingers moved in slow motion along my spine, giving me a chilly sensation as his lips captured my bottom lip. My eyes

MAXIMUS I didn’t know what the fuck I was thinking when I left Elodie alone in my room. I just knew I wanted her to be safe. But now, as I ran from one room to another looking for Cassidy, I wasn’t so sure of Elodie’s safety anymore. I started to think about going back and bringing her along with me. Only it wasn’t the safest choice. Her staying by my side in a moment like this was exactly the fastest way to put her life in jeopardy. Especially coupled with the fact she had put her pregnancy at risk once. I couldn’t bare to imagine what the second time might result to, so letting her remain in my room was like the best option there could be. “Your Highness.” A guard bowed his head in regard as I skidded past him.“Have you seen anyone suspicious around? Like a maid under camouflage?” I asked, sparing him a glance over my shoulder.His face wrinkled, as if in disbelief that there had been an infiltration, before he shook his head.I didn’t wait a second longer and continued my sea

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

ELODIEThe Lycan king glared at me, not saying a word in return and fear prickled my skin. Oh no, don’t tell me I’d gotten on his nerves? I should have thought of a better way to present the proposal. Heck, maybe I shouldn’t even have considered it. Now, he knew of my identity. If this got to my f

ELODIE Silence crashed down and I remained frozen for a second, unable to get air into my lungs. How was this possible? How had he gotten his hands on the result? H…had the doctor conducted the test already, way before I gained consciousness?! No! No, this mustn’t happen. “What are yo

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
