2023-01-09 09:11:59Disappearance?
My ears perked. What did Beta Darius mean? What disappearance was he talking about? Something was happening to the women slaves? I opened my mouth and was on the verge of asking the Lycan King what the beta just said, but King Elio said, “They ran away.”Beta Darius scratched his forehead. “I don’t think that was the case, Your Majesty. All their things were still there. No evidence of being forced. Just nothing.”“Investigate.”“I’m already doing it, Your Majesty. I believe someone wanted to taint your reputation.”There was nothing to taint with. The Lycan King’s reputation was already ruined before for being bloodthirsty. He killed for pleasure until his mate came and brought light to his dark world. But our pack, no. A specific member of our pack killed Eva. And the Lycan King was back to being a ruthless bastard.“I don’t care.”“Your Majesty. They will use that against you to oust you from your position.”That would be better. I want him to be stripped from his position and suffer like how we suffered. The corner of King Elio’s mouth lifted. “I want them to try.”“Ahm. Excuse me. Is it alright to talk about palace affairs in front of a stranger?” I interjected. “Are you not afraid I will use that against the two of you?”King Elio gave me a bored look. “Do whatever you wish.”“Your Majesty, aren’t you going to introduce me to him?”“That’s not how you will talk to your king.”“But I am your mate.”Beta Darius’s eyes bulged. “Mate?”“Unfortunately, she is my mate. Never wanted to have one again. Quite bothersome. If others find out, she is my mate, they will kill her.”As if he will care if I am dead or not.Plus, the way King Elio said those words seemed like he was the unluckiest Lycan on earth, which was the opposite. It is who should be I who will feel that. Not the other way around! Beta Darius beamed. “Really?” But he easily wiped it when he realized the expression on his face. “I mean, I did not expect your mate to come from the Howling Pack, Your Majesty.”“You heard what the wench said a few years ago, Beta Darius. My mate will come from that disgusting pack,” he spat. “My pack is not disgusting. It is your attitude that is repulsive,” I retorted. Beta Darius' expression changed and hardened. “I have to support the woman. Not all of them are evil, Your Majesty.”“My beta. How can you always see the goodness of others? They will use it against you as your weakness. Look at what happened to me. They killed my precious Eva and made my life miserable.”“Excuse me, Your Majesty, but you were the one who kept on making your life miserable,” I interjected.Beta Darius stared at me with disbelief. Disregarding him, I continued, “Yes. Your mate’s sudden death hurt you. But it is not right that all the Howling Pack should suffer because of what the others had done. We are innocent! All the women sold were innocent and had nothing to do with your mate’s murder!”I did not understand why Sabrina had to suffer. I did not understand why an innocent woman should suffer! “What did you say?"I gave him a half-shrug. "You heard me, right? And just because you are the Lycan King and my mate will make me shut my mouth."Damn you! I wanted to add. Everything was your fault, to begin with!King Elio's fist trembled. His eyes were red from anger, and right now, he looked like the spawn of the devil.Beta Darius, as his faithful second-in-command, put his hands on one of the Lycan King's shoulders and said, "Please let it slide, Your Majesty. That woman does not know what she is talking about.""I know what I am talking about. I am not a fool! Everything is your fault! Do you hate me? Fine. I hate you also."King Elio inhaled deeply, trying his best to control his anger. I know I was arousing his anger. But did I look like I cared? He was the reason why we never enjoyed what it felt like to be outside the pack. Just because of his stupid decree forbidding us!I cannot forgive him. "Stay away from me, woman. I might be tempted to kill you," King Elio threatened. "Flora. That's my name. You should know each of the people whom you have killed and whom you will kill.""Darius! Drag this woman away!""Right away, Your Majesty."Beta Darius grabbed my arm, but I yanked it away as if I was burned. I was reminded of my wound when it hurt. Numbing to the pain, I said, "No one is allowed to touch me without my permission."He sighed. "Where will I take her, Your Majesty?""Put her on the East Wing. Away from me. Let me think further about where I will put her."Was that bad or a good thing? "Will you also make me disappear?"Beta Darius stiffened beside me. "Stop, woman. You are brave, and I admire you for that. But learn how to filter your words in the presence of the Lycan King. His Majesty has nothing to do with the women’s disappearance."I bit the inside of my cheeks when I understood what he was trying to tell me. Of course. I should be wise in my words. Besides, if the Lycan King punished me, I could not continue my investigations. "Where is the East Wing? I want to go to my quarters.""Don't act as if you own this place, Flora. Remember, you are my slave. I own you. Act like that. Not like a queen. I rule this palace. Not you beside me. Only me."Smiling sweetly, even if that was the last thing I wanted to do right now, I said, "Got it, Your Majesty.""Leave.""Come on, Flora," Beta Darius nudged. I turned my back and followed after Beta Darius."Where are we going?" I asked. He was as tall as the Lycan King. I only reached their neck. "To the East Wing.""Will I be sharing a room with the other slaves?"I can't believe I was a slave now in the blink of an eye. I wonder what Father was thinking by now? Was he okay?Okay? How would he be okay after his two daughters were taken away from her?"No." Beta Darius stopped and faced me. He looked at my back. King Elio had gone back to his quarters. Perhaps to take some rest. "You have a lot of questions. But first, let me offer you a proposition. Something you and King Elio will benefit from."Related chapters
Save Me, Lycan King 08. Agreement
Something that will benefit me? Right now, all I wanted was to see Sabrina. "Interesting, right?" Beta Darius pressed, lifting his brows. "This offer is only for the second-chance mate of the Lycan King. You."My eyes narrowed. Something felt wrong. This could be a trap. "What are you planning?" I asked, glancing back and forth, ensuring no one would hear us. "You are serving the Lycan King. Offering a proposal against his back is some kind of betrayal. Are you out of your mind?" "I'm only helping you and the Lycan King.""Helping me? How? You don't even know me. I don't want any help from somebody. I can handle myself. No offense, Beta Darius."He looked at me for a long time. "I know you can. That's why you are the perfect candidate for this simple task."When it comes to the Mad King, there was nothing simple about it. "Spill the beans.""You are his mate.""He was not happy about it.""That's your challenge. I need someone to save the Lycan King from the madness surrounding hi

I fell on the soft bed and bounced back. After our talk, Beta Darius left me temporarily, saying he would gather every available dress he could find for me. Make the Lycan King fall in love.If I am honest, I could use our bond to make it work. Making the Lycan King fall for me would be possible. But…could I do it knowing he may be the culprit of Sabrina’s disappearance. And that woman. I did not have the chance to talk to her. Damn it.My body screamed for rest, but my mind was stubborn enough to refuse. It kept on wandering and went back to Sabrina. I let my eyes roam around. Everything was plain. If I am asked. Well, nothing was fancy in our family after Sabrina left. After her disappearance. Our family was destroyed with Father drowning himself to work. He forgot he had another daughter, and that was me. Reminded of something, I sat on the bed and inspected my wounds. It was healed already. But it did leave a scar. The physical scar was not a source of worry. But the emotio

Beta Darius's eyebrows furrowed."Do you like women, then? I mean are you sexually attracted to them? No offense. I don't have anything against people liking the same sex. It's just that…never mind. Tell me if you want to continue our deal or not."Of course, I liked to proceed. Beta Darius could be my biggest ally as time progresses. I just need to put everything in place. "I did not say I want to quit. What I am trying to say is that the Lycan King is never lovable.""He could be charming.""He is an asshole. A jerk. A bastard.""It's your opinion.""Which is way different than yours. I just hoped you do not treat him as your god. Because the Lycan King was far from that."Beta Darius fell into deep thought until we reached the dining hall. The table was a forty-eight seater which was the normal seating capacity for every pack. We found the Lycan King staring at his food boredly. As if he was a child throwing a tantrum. He looked as if he did not like anything that was served e

I mentally kicked myself. My name coming from my mouth should never cause this kind of pleasure. I was ashamed to feel this kind of emotion. How could I? I was never that simple-minded, driven by emotions themselves. Clearing my throat, I said, "What do you have in mind, Your Majesty? If it’s good, share it with me."The Lycan King kicked the chair beside him. I raised my brow at his actions. “Are you throwing tantrums right now?”"You will bear my heir. As simple as that."It was not that simple. Beta Darius spat the drinks while I stared at the Lycan King dumbfounded."Shit," I muttered under my breath. "Just kill me, Your Majesty."The Lycan King glared at me. “My offer is not that bad.”“It is to me.”“You are my slave.”“Yes, but I have my mouth to voice my opinions.”Beta Darius kicked my feet again, reminding me of my actions. Again, I was brought back to his proposal—making the Lycan King fall in love with me. The way I was acting was not making the king feel for me but a

The Lycan King and I had a staring contest, with none of us wanting to back down. It was funny. How the Mad King turned to me and asked for my help. I sensed his desperation. He wanted to rule the palace until the last drop of his blood. That was also the reason why he wanted me to bear his child. “Will we have some sex?” I asked, calmly. Could I bear to offer my body to this bastard who may have killed Sabrina? Definitely no. I could not do it. “Do you want to?”“I can’t stomach it. Mind as well be honest with you, Your Majesty. I could not bear to kiss you. I prefer kissing a toad.”"We will use whatever technology we have. Artificial insemination is one of the options. Or we can do it manually."Artificial insemination.I saw my father give that procedure to some mated couples who could not have a child easily. He will insert the sperm to the woman's uterus, cervix, or fallopian tube. "Manually?""Sexual intercourse.""Oh, please. That would be off the table. I would rather l

Beta Darius snarled at me. "Flora! Do not waste our patience. We are treating you nicely and what will you give in return?" The disappointment was evident on his face. I did not care if he was disappointed as long as I was enjoying seeing King Elio’s anger. Anger. Disappointment. Sadness. Those were some of the emotions he should only show. Never happiness. He was not allowed. Not wanting to back down, I replied, "The two of you sounded guilty."The beta's hands trembled. "Why are you doing this?"Yeah. Why was I doing this? I wanted to anger the Lycan King. As simple as that. I could not accept he was at peace while my sister was struggling out there. Who knew? She may be beaten by her master or worse, die alone. Scared.My hands shook and hid them away from their sight. I chuckled in the end. "Nothing. I'm only testing you. The two of you don't have to be so serious about it, okay? Geez. You are always serious."I smirked inwardly. Nevertheless...King Elio's proposition was g

In an instant, King Elio was suddenly in front of me and lifted my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes. Not wanting to show him that I was scared, I met his gaze.Shit.I never wanted my skin tingling at his touch as if I was some whore who wanted his bodily contact. I would instead love someone who was not my mate than this bastard.“Feisty. You reminded me of someone.”“I hope it's not your mate, Your Majesty. I want to be remembered for who I am. But not because of someone else.” King Elio’s eyes narrowed. “You are not scared of me?”The distance was good for me. My heart was pounding so fast, and I knew it was because of the bond between us. My wolf was dancing in happiness while I felt sickened. This was my mate? This man could not even keep me safe and protect me. He was still drunk with his past and continued to have a hangover.“Should I be, Your Majesty?” I responded. “Or do you think that I am a fool right now for strolling at this hour?”“Did you know that murders among

I thought King Elio would be furious. But instead, he laughed. His laughter roared and drove away the birds resting on their houses. And with all honesty, he looked like a villain, which made the hairs of my hands crawl. A shiver ran down my spine.“I am a murderer, you say?"“Yes. Without a doubt. I believe you are,” I responded, not leaving my eyes on him. He snorted. “Right. Right. I am a killer, and I slay stubborn women like you. I tortured them until the life from their eyes became lifeless. That makes me the most satisfied of all, woman.”I balled my fist—a confession from a murderer. “You are mad.”King Elio smirked. “Earlier, I was a murderer. Now, I am mad. What else will you describe to me? Fool? Powerful? Mighty? Killer? Yada. Yada. Yada.”Gritting my teeth, I muttered, “You are even proud of it. I feel sorry for the child I will bear and the future he will face on your side.”The Lycan King’s face suddenly turned serious. “Don’t drag my child here. He is innocent."Did

Save Me, Lycan King EPILOGUE
One year later…Something was wrong with me.I had been noticing the changes in my behavior and I did not like it all. I was suddenly grumpy and sick at the same time. Something which made me panic. Elio was attending some business and I could not call him and tell him to come to me.“Your Grace. The sun is already out. You need to move your butt.”I glared at the woman in front of my bed. Candice. One year ago, the Lycan King had assigned Candice as my personal attendant. At first, I rejected the idea, but Elio kept on forcing me to have one. He was always saying that he did not want anything to happen to me again.If that would happen, he was afraid he could not control himself from killing anyone. Another bloodbath will take place, something I did not want to happen.“I’m not feeling well, okay?”“You haven’t eaten your breakfasts.”“Oh, please. I will eat anything if I am feeling well, but I am not.”“Did you eat something yesterday?”“That’s the problem, Candice. I haven’t eaten

Howling PackEli and I finally visited my pack. They prepared a lot and were excited to see us. It was Dad who welcomed us and the alpha beside him.They prepared signs welcoming us.I cannot help but feel giddy at their warm welcome.“We are grateful for your presence, Your Majesty,” the alpha exclaimed while his gaze darted in my direction. We shared a look, and his eyes were back to the Lycan King. I would never go back to the path I had chosen a couple of years ago. That was already a closed chapter of my life. I was no longer an assassin and a killer used by someone else.Later, I will ask for a private talk to the alpha. I want to tell him that I will be the one to tell the Lycan King about my past. I wanted it to tell him directly.“The pleasure is all mine.”Eli’s eyes scanned the surroundings and his eyes darted at the remnants of his fury. Burned buildings. Statues. Withered black trees. The alpha could tear down the burned buildings and replace them with something new, bu

One week had passed after that incident. I could say that I was healed already. Iris was making the best of her ability to heal my wounds and broken bones. After a week of bed rest, my body was brand new. “Stay still, Lora,” Eli ordered. He was reading some documents while guarding me. I tried to sneak and go outside, but he caught me and gave me a proper scolding telling me that I nearly died. This was my second life. I should have taken care of this one. No matter how many times I told him that I was already healed from my injuries, he wouldn't believe me. He refused to believe me. Eli filled me out with the details of what happened to Ayla. She was imprisoned behind bars. Rooting in the cold prison. Day and night, she was requesting His Majesty’s presence, asking for his kindness. I felt sorry for Ayla. Sometimes. But when I remembered my sister. Of how she was killed, my hatred changed my pity. Ayla already confessed to all the crimes she had committed and that his accom

I thought we would kill you without you recognizing your killer. Something I don’t want to happen, darling.”Damn.My hair hurts so much. She was pulling it forcefully.“Why are you doing this?” My voice sounded weak. My body felt like it was burning so much.“Simple. I don’t want His Majesty to be happy. He doesn’t deserve to be the king. I realized he valued his servants so much. But I did not understand why. Especially that Sabrina. Oh. I forgot. She was your sister.”I spat in her face.Her angelic smile was replaced with something demonic. “Shit!” She slapped my cheeks continuously until I could

Damn.That statement made sense. I had not made sure that Eli wanted to go there. What if he was indeed forcing himself? To my excitement, I never considered that thing. I was focused on bringing him to the pack without even thinking if he was okay with his decision or not.Still.I should gave Eli the benefit of the doubt. “I-I’m sure…it’s not the case. Eli had already forgiven the pack, wholeheartedly and wanted to give us a chance to show him how much we were sorry for what happened to Eva. He no longer hated us.”Because who in their right mind would visit a place in which he did not want to step foot?‘You better ask Eli about that. To make it clear, Lora.’‘You think I did not think about that? Will you stop bossing me around? It’s irritating, okay?’Besides, it was not only him who was hurting. We also had our own fair share of wounds. But the most important thing of all, we were starting to heal from the past. Noticing the hesitance on my face, Miss Dacianna smiled and decl

“You two are leaving?” I jumped, surprised to see Prince Albert suddenly popping out of nowhere. I was about to see Miss Dacianna to do an errand courtesy of His Majesty. Eli wanted me to talk to Dacianna about our plans of going back to Howling Pack so that the woman will be the one to inform the King.I just hoped he would give us his blessings. If not, I did not know anymore. I like that king and it would be better if he gave us his approval.Without thinking about the damage he did to my heart, Prince Albert continued, “Your Grace. I came here right away when I found out about it.”Indeed? But why did Beta Darius tell us that the one who informed him of us stepping down was the Council and this man? Who among them was telling the truth?‘Does it matter?’ Iris asked in my mind. ‘The mere fact that you and His Majesty will be returning to our pack mattered the most.’She was busy licking her paws while watching me.‘Do you think he still remembers?’‘Lora. When will you use your

Eli and I spent the next few hours preparing our things for our departure.Sighing, I gave our chamber a final look. This place had so many memories and I could not help but feel lonely at the thought of me and him leaving.“Wife. Are you done?”I blinked a couple of times and faced him.Grumbling, I muttered, “I don’t understand why we have to pack ourselves. We have servants, Eli.”It was not like I was lazy. It was only because I had no strength to do anything after the thought that we would be leaving the palace had finally sunk into my mind.“They will know I am leaving. It should be a surprise. Finally, I would be leaving them. They will rejoice, you will see.”Pouting I answered, “You sounded sure about it.”“I am certain. They are waiting for another king.” I taste the bitterness in his words. “Why? That bad? Perhaps you are wrong, Eli. Not all of them wanted to leave you. Take Candice for example. That woman is loyal to you.”“Except for her. I am talking about the others.”

My heart forgot how to breathe.This was what I was scared about. That Prince Albert will finally realize that we two had met before. What to do?I’m afraid I will be the reason why Eli would be ousted from his position as the king.Be calm. You can find a way to get out of the situation, okay?This fool had not realized anything. I must continue pretending that I did not know him.I chuckled. “Why would I be familiar to you? As far as I remember, we never had the chance to have a proper conversation before. Perhaps you are already mistaken, Prince Albert. We did not meet before.”His brows formed a straight line.“Indeed? But I cannot shake off the feeling that you are truly familiar.”I paled. Dammit. His eyes continued to question my statement. "I don't think—"“Nonsense. My wolf had an excellent memory. She will tell me if we meet or not. But right now, all she was saying is that we never encountered each other before.”“Oh, I see.” He bowed at me. “My apologies, Your Grace. I

It finally dawned on me that Inez died in my arms. However, I could no longer grieve about it since nothing could be done. My mind was already tired. Going back to our chamber, with the warriors on my back, my mind wandered to what had happened. I failed her. A couple of times. I closed my eyes as memories of her eyes continued to haunt me. No matter where I look, I always see the expression in her eyes. Her fear. Her shock. "Lora."I froze on the spot and sniffed the Lycan King's scent as it hit me hard. The warriors disperse upon seeing him. Maybe he ordered them to leave me. After one year, he finally showed up. After someone had already died? What a great timing. If he was not the king, I would think that he was the killer. I'm too tired to get angry at him. It was not worth it. I went past Elio and stepped inside our chamber, with him hot on my tail. "What happened?" he asked. I smelt no alcohol. He did not drink. Was true to his promise. But the mere fact that he did
