All Chapters of The Lycan King’s War Prize: Chapter 11 - Chapter 15

KYRIOSKyrios walked out of his suite, recalling Esme’s face when they had barged in as she was just waking up.The look on her face had been comical, exactly the reaction he had wanted.“Why are you smiling?” Kyrios stopped short to see Liam, his second general, waiting for him at the front of the door.He rearranged his face immediately. “I’m not smiling.”“Yes you were.”Kyrios ignored him, not in the mood for any game of “yes you were” and “no I wasn’t”.Had he really been smiling? The thought disturbed him.Liam said nothing, his silence more than answer enough, stepping in beside Kyrios as they walked to his office.“So Alpha Greg’s daughter is really your mate?” He asked. “It’s not a prank?”“Don’t call that bastard an alpha. He was nothing but a coward.” Kyrios growled. “And as for the girl, she's no mate of mine.”“That’s not what people are saying. You bound yourself to her in a matebond ritual. Aren’t you afraid the mate bond is going to ensnare you against your wish?”Ky

Esme’s heart jolted violently in her chest as she looked and saw the king glaring at them like they’d committed a crime.“I’ll repeat myself, what’s going on here?” His voice was sharp, with a hint of an emotion that Esme couldn't define.But why was he so angry?

She tried to reach for it, that anchor, this person… they could save her but there was no one…Then suddenly she felt warmth encircling her. A peace invaded her being that she’d always sought for. Tingling sparks erupting beneath her skin.“Hmmm,” she murmured in pleasure and chased after that feeling even when it tried to move away.“No,” She couldn’t let it go away, not when she needed its comfort now more than ever. So she held it tighter and in the process, somehow, her lips touched something soft, something firm.The contact sent a zing down her spine, sinking and pooling into places it had no business sinking into. Her nipples tightened and her body warmed.Whatever this was, whatever was happening, she liked it. So she pressed further.Tongues entangled, h
