Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Lycan King's Rejected Daughter: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

KEENA Ward nuzzles his nose in my neck and inhales deeply. "I don't want to think about that right now," he says as he cuddles next to me. But then he sets up in the bed and looks at me in confusion. "How did you know?' I shrug my shoulders. "The Moon Goddess came to me in a dream of sorts," I tell him. "She said that our mate bond would be tested." "Huh," Ward says as he leans backwards on the headboard of the bed. "The Moon Goddess came to me before you claimed me as your mate." I look at Ward with a shocked look on my face. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because I didn't want you to feel any pressure to pick me as your mate," Ward says quietly. "Have I ever told you that you are perfect?" I tell him as I snuggle into his chest. "I am not the perfect one in our relationship," Ward laughs. "We should probably tell your parents that you are awake." "Mhm," I hum into his chest. "I just want to sit here with you for a few moments and pretend like we aren't bein

KEENA I sit with my legs curled into my stomach and my arms wrapped tightly around them. My eyes do not stray from Ward as he moves through our bedroom packing different items into a small duffle bag. My vision is blurred through all of the unshed tears in my eyes. I don't want the last memory of Ward to have of me is me crying my eyes out over him leaving. Ward does a final once over in the room and lets out a sigh. "I think that is everything." There is a deep sadness in his voice that I can't ignore. I blink quickly and the unshed tears in my eyes begin to stream down my cheeks. Quickly I try to wipe them away but I am not fast enough. Ward has seen me crying. "This isn't goodbye," he reminds me for the hundredth time. "This is just a see you later." I want to beg him to stay. I want to grovel at his feet and beg him to take me with him. But I made a promise to the Moon Goddess that I would trust her plan for me. So, I sit on the bed and remain quiet because

WARD I keep my eyes on the sky as the sun sets over the desert, the moon rises high in the sky. The sand shimmers in the moonlight, casting shadows across the dunes. The air is still, and the only sound comes from the soft rusting of the palm trees in the distance. Otto and I landed in Egypt three days ago. As much as Otto was supposed to be my guide he doesn't seem to know his way around. He has yet to offer any helpful information. He simply follows me around through the desert telling me that if the members of the Kingdom of Anubis want me to find them they will make themselves known. "How do they even know that we are here?" I ask Otto. “How do we even know that we are on their territory?” "The Kingdom of Anubis doesn't miss anything that happens within their territory," Otto explains. "They know that we are here. They are just watching and waiting to see if you are a threat." I roll my eyes at Otto and wish that King Erebus had a better contact than Otto. I just want to

KEENA The sound of someone banging on my door wakes me from my sleep. I open my eyes slightly and see that it is still dark outside. Groaning loudly, I place my head under my pillow and yell for whoever is at my door to go away. "Get up," Kayla's cheerful voice calls through my door. "It is time to go running." "No," I moan. "No to all of that." The sound of the lock clicking open catches my attention and I pull my head out from underneath my pillow. I peek out from under my blanket and see Kayla and Faris standing in my doorway. "Who gave you a key to my room?" I yell out stuffing my head back under the pillow. "You can't spend your life in this room waiting for Ward to return," Faris walks into my room and rips the blankets off of me. Kayla groans loudly when she sees that I am wearing one of Ward's shirts again. "And you have got to start wearing your own clothes." Rolling over onto my back, I fling my arms out to my side. "These smell like him," I figh

WARD Alpha Cleo and I stare at one another for a long time. There is something that is familiar about her that I just cannot place. Her hazel eyes pierce into mine as she throws her Alpha aura over the room. She is trying to get me to submit but it isn't working. "You know me?" I ask ignoring the aura that has flooded the room. Alpha Cleo reigns in her aura and cocks her head to the side staring at me in curiosity. "I think I know you," she finally says. “Amir here thinks you may be my brother.” I laugh loudly and turn toward Amir. "Are you saying that you think I am of Alpha blood?" The thought alone is absurd. Getting to her feet, Alpha Cleo gestures for Amir and me to follow her out of her office. "There is only one way to tell," she says as we approach the elevator. "A DNA test will be run. Until we have the results I am afraid that you will have to stay in the dungeons." "I did not come here for your title or your rank," I say in desperation. "I just cam
