Lahat ng Kabanata ng Contract With The Lycan king : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Laura's pov Keira went ahead to offer herself a seat, yet I didn't say anything but watched. I was glad she was finally starting to show her true colors, but what was left now was for me to understand why she was doing what she was doing.“What was that stunt you pulled out there?” My voice was calm, u didn't want to seek vulnerability and show her any form of emotion.“I have no idea what you are talking about” she rolled her eyes in a sassy manner at me. It was so hard for me to believe that this was the same girl who was so sweet and all of a sudden turned into a bitch.“Please. I would really appreciate it if you would stop with the pretense. I don't know what it is with me, but we are not in competition over anything and I don't see why you have to pull such an act”“Not in competition?” She repeated my words as she let out a subtle chuckle but even with the laughter on her face, I could see the pain behind it.“Do you know how long I have loved the King!” The words came through

Caspian's POVThe trembling finally stopped. Laura's skin, which had been burning like molten metal beneath my touch, slowly cooled to a normal temperature. When she finally pulled away from my arms, I felt an immediate ache where her warmth had been. But that emptiness was quickly consumed by something much more dangerous, rage.Dante. That bastard had done this to her. Not just once, but repeatedly, turning the mate mark into a weapon of torture. How could he destroy a woman who had stood by his side when his pack was nothing but scattered bones and broken pride?"Your majesty, come with me!" Clara's voice interrupted my thoughts. Her tone brooked no argument, and despite my royal blood, I found myself obeying. Such was the power of a woman who had pulled more souls from death's embrace than any warrior had ever saved in battle.I forced myself to look away from Laura, though every instinct screamed at me to stay. "I will be right back," I whispered to her, though my words seemed to

Laura's pov:The sound of the gunshot echoed through, shattering the glass as it pierced right at Keira. All of the staff were immediately in panic as they struggled to scamper around all in an attempt to get away from the gunshot.Keira was on the floor right next to Caspian as her arm was bleeding, Caspian held her close to his chest, trying to shield her from any further attempt while the guards outside had immediately rushed towards the other building where the shot came through.“Laura! Are you alright?” Caspian called out to me once he was certain that we were clear. I was on my feet, my breath was calmed, not like I haven't seen something like this before and it wasn't something to be scared of.“Ahhh! It hurts” Keira cried out, drawing both our attention to her. Caspian drifted closer to her, trying to ascertain her wound. “Good thing it only grazed your arm, it should healed soon”“I don't think it's healing. I think the bullet might be laced with wolfsbane” she alerted me,

Caspian's pov As we returned back to the pack, I made sure that Laura was escorted back to her room before I hurried to the medical center where Keira was being treated. As soon as she saw me coming over, her eyes lit up as she tried to get up from the bed, but one of the midwives who was attending to her wound pulled her back.“How is she?” “The wound is already healing. That wasn't wolfsbane like she thought at first. Once we realized that, it was easy for us to handle it”.“Thank you” even though I was trying to be polite, yet I could tell that my voice had come out cold. The midwife nodded her head and stepped away from the ward, and once it was just Keira and me, I walked up closer to her and sat close to her bed.“How are you feeling?”“I am fine, but it's not myself that I am worried about, after all, I am just your aide”“I have known you for nine years so you are not just an aide, but I can also regard you as a friend”I expressed as she lowered her head and when she did,

Author's pov:Keira stirred from her light sleep at the sound of footsteps approaching. Her heart skipped, there was something familiar about the scent and for a second there, she thought it was his majesty.But when the door creaked open, it was Kalif who stepped in, and as usual, he had a cold smirk on his lips.“What are you doing here?” She asked, not turning around, her voice cold as she lay facing the wall.“Disappointed? Are you expecting him?”“Answer the question, Kalif!” She snapped, almost irritated by his presence.“I came to see you. Is that a problem?”“It's a problem when you have a bigger issue yet and haven't fixed it”“It might be one of the reasons I am here” he spoke in a husky tone as she immediately got up from the bed and sat upright.“What is this about?” She carefully studied his expression, the usual smug face looked grim, which could only mean one thing.“Go ahead and talk to me, what is going on?” Keira could not conceal her curiosity, and if she had to for
