ABRAHAM — The Lycan King의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

OLENA But I grabbed her wrist and pulled her a little closer, something I’d never dared to do before. I knew she wouldn’t make a scene here. Not in public. The worst she could do was yank her hand away and storm off and that’s exactly what she did.I stood there, watching her leave, then slowly lowered my head, feeling really sad about this.Running my hands through my hair, I sighed. Maybe I was asking the wrong person. My eyes flicked across the hall, just in time to see Ronan slipping out.Abraham was still surrounded, basking in the attention of the guests, so I slipped away and followed Ronan instead.As I stepped out of the hall, I caught him glancing over his shoulder but by the time he turned fully, I was already gone.“Ronan!” I called out, raising my voice.He didn’t stop. He looked… happy. Relaxed, even, as he walked toward the mansion and slid into his car. I didn’t think twice, I rushed over and pulled the door open, slipping into the back seat just before he could drive

OLENA I finally managed to ease his hand off my waist. It took some time and a lot of patience, but I reminded myself why I had to, this was the right moment to get my necklace back from where he’d hidden it.I tiptoed toward the door, moving slowly so I wouldn't wake him. Before slipping out, I carefully placed a pillow in his arms, hoping it would trick him into thinking he was still holding me.“I just need to be quick... and maybe return before he notices,” I whispered to myself as I opened the door and slipped out, heading quietly down the stairs.But then, Kane.Our eyes met. His brows furrowed instantly.Without a word, he grabbed my hand and pulled me quickly down the remaining steps. I stumbled, nearly falling, but he didn’t stop until we were tucked in the corner of the hall.He ran a hand through his hair, clearly agitated, then scoffed under his breath.“What the fuck do you think you just did back there in the building?” Kane snapped, his eyes narrowing on me.I knew exa

OLENA He looked completely lost, brows furrowed like he was trying to solve a puzzle he didn’t even know existed, while June tugged at my arm.“I really don’t know what I did to you, ma’am,” he said, voice careful, eyes flicking between us. “But you can come in, I’ll buy whatever you want.”“We’re not...” June began, but I touched her arm and she fell quiet.I didn’t want to speak, didn’t want to stir it all up again, but it ached in me, the need to tell her the truth because it looks like he didn’t even know what was going on. He couldn’t have known. Rubbie might’ve been throwing signs, dropping hints and the poor guy would've just walked right past them. Honestly, I was mostly doing this because I wanted him to teach me more about sword fighting. I didn’t want to let her down, not after everything.Inside the shop, I watched him move through the aisles, carefully picking out snacks for us. We hadn’t even tried to choose our own, he was the one paying, and that was silently agreed

OLENAOh… the Umbriel’s chambers.Now I recognized it, I’d been here before, once, to pick up herbs. The scent of dried plants still lingered in the air.We were already inside when I noticed her pouring handfuls of green powdery stuff around me in a perfect circle. Without a word, she turned off the fire lights, casting the room in a dim, strange glow. Then she looked at me, around me too and gasped softly.Honestly? Umbriel was beautiful. Ethereal, even. Now I understood where Morgan got her looks from. I had no idea what was going on.All I knew was that Umbriel looked at Abraham and gave him a small nod and in response, he closed his eyes like he was accepting his fate.“Come with me,” the old woman said softly.Her voice carried something I didn’t understand, but I followed without question.She led me out of the house, moving with slow steps. I realized quickly where she was headed, the back of her house.The same place I’d picked herbs from before.“Do you see the tree?” Umbri

OLENA Everything Alaric said about him, it was all true. Damn him. I hated him. I hated him so much it was hard to breathe. My chest felt like it was on fire.Tears filled my eyes, but I pushed them back and wiped them away with the back of my hand. I grabbed the necklace and held it tightly against my chest, my knuckles turning white, like holding it could keep me from falling apart. I stormed out of the room, my footsteps quick and uneven, just like my heartbeat. The cold stone floor hurt my feet through the thin soles of my shoes.I didn’t slow down. I couldn’t. I climbed the stairs to the slave quarters. Each step felt heavier than the last, my mood sinking lower with every creak of the wood. My legs shook, not from the climb, but from the storm of anger and hurt inside me.I’m going to ruin his life for this.He knew. He knew how much this necklace meant to me. That smug bastard didn’t just guess. He’s the damn Lycan King, he has eyes and ears everywhere, and enough power to fin
