Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

Chapter 139 | tried moving away, but Callahan pulledclose for a deep kiss. | let him as his lips were just as much of a drug | craved and could not get enough of.

My eyes fluttered, and | wanted to continue further but one glance outside the window toldthat dawn was upon us.

And | had things to do. Such as trying to find out Mirabel again and what the Rogue King was up to. There were too many enemies lurking around.

So | kissed him back, feverishly, before pulling away. Callahan's golden eyes glowed in the first rays of sunlight as his fingers played with my hair, tucking the loose strands behind my ear.

“Zee, if you dare anybody else ceven close to you, | will skin him alive,” Callahan said with a hint of possessiveness.

| placed a finger on his chest, letting it trail over his bare skin. His body was chiseled to perfection, sculpted to remove all the faults he could ever have.

Slowly, | trailed my finger over his heart and placed my palm over it, feeling the steady beating of his heart.

“Talk about dying again and | would gladly take someone else-" | began, but | felt the grip of his hand on my hair tighten.

“You are mine, Zee.” He let out a low, throaty growl, and I loved how jealous he sounded. | smiled as his lips found the base of my neck and he sucked on the skin, makingtremble all over again.

“You better stay alive for that. Or you know...I might just....” | teased, and | felt his teeth bite into my skin, sending a delicious shiver over my body.

“Don’t you dare threaten me, Zee! | have not even started doing anything yet” | tried not to shudder at that line before putting a bit of force on my hands to push him away.

1/6 09:41 Chapter 139 “Enough talk. Now, | have to get dressed and ready for the next tasks.” “What tasks?” He murmured, trying to get hold of my arm that slipped away from him.

“Patience, my King. Letgo and learn all about this anchor stuff. You look after all the files scattered around” Callahan ran a hand through his hair but letgo. | tidied my clothes and appearance to the best of my ability and opened the door to check if anybody was around.

Luckily the coast was clear, so | closed the door behindand went outside, tiptoeing my way through the stairs and toward my room.

Thunder helpedmake little to no noise, and | slipped into my room quite easily. The first thing I did after reaching inside was take a few deep breaths.

My heart was still beating frantically, and it had been excruciatingly hard to step away from the man of my dreams. But | did it since now. | was fueled with motivation to get to the puzzle of solving this mystery of the curse and maybe trying to find Mirabel again.

By now, | was certain it was her roaming around in the forest and she had shown herself to me, so there was a good chance she would show up again.

Though | wondered why she would roam the forest and be so close to Callahan’s home, but never talk to him.

Maybe she truly hated him and thought | was going to suffer the sfate as her daughter.

Somehow, | was not afraid of that. Dying in Callahan’s arms would be a peaceful death rather than dying fighting the rogues or enemies.

Compared to Callahan's issues, the Rogue King and my issues with Sid sounded childish to me. It had been quite long since | heard from Sid and frankly, | hoped he had found a mate or gotten sother girl to toy with.

Though that was selfish. Unless he changed, no girl deserves him. Celeste had spoiled him rotten.

Wait, why was | even thinking about them? Shaking my head, | walked towards the bathroom and slipped out of the pajamas, letting my mind wander.

2/6 09:41 Chapter 139 The shower water was hot and after my intense make out session with Callahan, it soothed my nerves. However, it was nothing compared to Callahan's touch that set my whole body on fire.

Smiling to myself as | recalled his words, the look in his eyes, and the way he touched me, | scrubbed myself and took a generous scoop of a scented body wash to rejuvenate myself.

| could not afford to spend the day sleeping in bed.

After hearing Callahan's story, | was even more determined to beca good anchor and lift the curse off him.

His secret was going to be safe with me.

Thus, | stepped out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel while using the other towel to dry my hair.

| stared at my reflection and could clearly see the way my cheeks looked flushed. My brain was going crazy trying to find a way to break the curse, but | was not one of the First Children or any special wolf that would allowto meet Selene directly.

I was just a regular wolf without any divine bloodline. My gaze drifted to the anchor bond at my wrist. It somehow infusedwith confidence. | somehow felt | would be able to delay the tuntil Callahan went completely feral.

Feeling a bit confident, | dried my hair and was thinking of going to meet Drusilla to talk all about the anchor bond and what more she could tellabout it.

But then | was dragged out of my thoughts when my phone med. It lay by the corner of the bed and at first | ignored it.

However, the notification ringtone rang again, and | let go of hairbrush before moving towards the bed to crawl upon it and phone.

There were two messages waiting for me. Both were from an unkno number.

Sid.

| instantly knew it was him. | had completely forgotten about him and the texts he used to send me.

But this t| did not feel nervous while reading them. The first message 3/6 09:41 Chapter 139 read: -Hey, how are you? | hope you are doing fine.- | did not bother replying to that and clicked on the next one.

-1 have something important to tell you. Can we talk?- | hesitated. Was this another one of his stupid traps to maketalk to him? -What is it about?- | sent a text without bothering to greet him or exchange pleasantries.

-It is about the Rogue King. And | have shighly confidential information that | wish to share with you.- At that, my eyebrows furrowed. | had also forgotten the threat of the Rogue King and his unique tactic of separating the youth from the elders.

-Go on- | hurriedly texted, and the reply was instant.

-Not on the phone. We have to meet in person- | thought about it for a second before replying, This better not be a trap- -I swear on my mother’s life, I am not trying to trap you. You did not even say hello or ask how | was. | know you still don’t trustan don’t want to push you away further.

Odd. Sid was known for being a cocky young man, not this nice an sweet person he was trying to be. Was he really changing? -Fine. Givethe date and time- -Meetat the sbar in an hour- An hour was too short of a tto think this through. If Callahan found out I had left to meet Sid again, he would kill me.

But | wished to find out more about this Rogue King and | knew Callahan would just try to strangle Sid than talk to him calmly.

| wanted to do this my way. Plus, after last night, Callahan’s mood was 4/6 09:41 bad. | wanted him to relax a bike and get all about his past 7 had to www.abeast and our what this score information was.

-An hour is too short of a notice. | can meet in two- -Alright. Can’t wait to meet you.- He senta text, and | warned him once again.

-No funny business, Sid. Or | am never talking to you again- The reply was longer and hastily typed, for | received it in an instant again.

-No, please don’t say that. | swore on my mother and | swear on you as well. | am not going to harm or trick you.

| am just eager to see you again- | tried to keep my tone as neutral as possible, but the fact that he swore onas well toldthat he was really worried about something. | did not feel the sway about him, but he had stated many times that he had feelings for me.

Plus, | was not a weak and timid human now. | could take care of myself.

-Fine- He did not know | had a wolf now. | could handle him.
