Semua Bab The Lycan Prince’s Puppy: Bab 381 - Bab 390

VioletSome time had passed since everything went down.Since we had seen Kayden walk again with our own eyes, since he had threatened to burn everything down if he didn’t get Thorne back, and since we had finally gotten dressed.And somehow…nothing had happened yet.There was no dramatic confrontation or any sign of Kayden, which meant so far so good. Kylan had called for an emergency meeting in the library not long after so we could figure out what to do about our unforeseen issues.As we waited in the library, my eyes glanced at Thorne’s cage on the table. It was completely covered by a thick, dark cloth. After Kylan fed him, Thorne had stayed quiet for a while, but we weren’t stupid. We knew he could be listening.“Why are they taking so long?” Kylan complained impatiently.Right at that moment, the door opened and Dylan and Nate walked in together, both of them carrying uneasy expressions.“Please,” Nate said immediately, his blue eyes darting around the room before landing on Kyl

VioletThe elevator started moving, and my stomach twisted as we went up. I didn’t even know where we were going, but I did know that I couldn’t breathe right.Kayden’s hand was still wrapped around Sora’s arm, and it was definitely not gentle. His fingers dug into her skin, and I could feel her shaking beside me. She kept her head down as soft whimpers escaped from her lips. I knew she was trying her hardest not to cry and believe it or not…we both were.My eyes traveled from his hand to his face, and fuck, he was tall. Even if I wanted to take him on, I doubted I would be able to. The two of us were no match for him, at least not like this.There was nothing kind left in that gaze of his. Not even the slightest. All I could take in was coldness, like he was already more than halfway gone. And those red streaks in his hair stood out even more up close. They just looked wrong.Kayden noticed me staring, and his glare snapped to mine, daring me to say something.I was terrified, but kn

VioletAs we stepped in, three heads snapped toward us and Sora immediately curtsied. Kylan stood near the center of the room, surrounded by his two oldest brothers.Prince Eronis and Prince Eryas.Kylan’s expression shifted the second he saw me. Whatever had been on his face disappeared, replaced with a questioning look. I gave him a quick smile and tried to make it look real enough not to worry him.“Well, if it isn’t the royal mate!” Eronis grinned loudly, opening his arms wide. “To what do we owe the pleasure?”He slung one arm over my shoulder and the other over Sora’s, guiding us until he reached Kylan.“I thought I heard Kylan,” I said, looking at him, “so I thought—”“You’d come see what all the noise was about,” Eryas cut in with a smirk.“Yes,” I said. “Something like that.”I blinked at Kylan, hoping he would understand that I needed him to get rid of his brothers so I could explain what was going on. He tilted his head, confused.A breath escaped me. “Can we—”“You must’ve

VioletA plan?There was something deeply wrong and unsettling about how calm he was. He truly believed he had it all figured out, and that look in his eyes said everything I needed to know. He thought he knew how this would end and decided the rest of us were just slow to catch up.Kylan let out a breath through his nose and glanced back at me. “Do we want to know?”I lifted one shoulder in a small shrug. Yes, and no. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to know, but I knew unless he pushed that gag back into his mouth, we would hear about it anyway.Kylan turned back to him. “What’s this ‘big’ plan of yours?”Kayden’s eyes lifted slowly, like he’d been waiting for that question. “I made a deal,” he said slowly. “A deal with my Lord, and he will be coming to collect after midnight.”His gaze sharpened as it swept over the three of us, like he was trying to read our reactions. “My lord is in desperate need of a vessel,” he said, his eyes settling on Kylan again. “And since Violet doesn’t want to

KylanJack and I shared a look.It had become clear that neither of us knew what was about to happen, but knowing the king as we did, it was easy to assume it would not be pleasant.What did he even want, and why now?He clasped his hands behind his back and began pacing. “I’ve been meaning to discuss something with the two of you,” he said. “Something important, and it really can’t wait.”As always, Jack obeyed. “Sure, Elyx.”He walked closer, leaving me no choice but to follow. “Make it quick,” I said when we reached him. “I’m actually in a bit of a hurry.”“Oh, please,” the king chortled. “The Hastings girl who moves at a snail’s pace with those tiny little baby steps of hers?” he said. “Don’t worry, son. She’ll be exactly where you left her.”I glared at him, hard. This was what he did. He poked at people just to see them react, and no matter how often I reminded myself not to entertain him, he almost succeeded this time.His brow lifted as soon as he didn’t get a response, and he
