Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 54

The door flew open, and I saw a dark, tall silhouette standing by the doorframe, the door lying at his feet and the hinges creaking horribly.

“Nope, she is mine.”

That voice.

I would recognize that voice anywhere.

My Lycan King was here. He had come to save me.

I was going to be safe. While I let out a sigh of relief, Sid looked around wildly and shouted.

“Bouncers, security, where are you?”

Callahan stayed standing by the doorframe, leaning on it as Sid took an involuntary step back. Callahan did not pounce or even march forward, he just stayed casually leaning on the doorframe, one of his hands tucked in the pocket.

Sid looked from me to him and threw a panicked gaze all around before mustering the courage to ask, “Who the hell are you?”

He asked, and the man stepped forward as the red light shone on his face.

“Remember me?” Callahan asked as he took one more step ahead and Sid’s body went limp. All the confidence and courage he had been showing me evaporated into thin air as Callahan walked in as if this were a party.

“Callahan,” I cried and Sid blanched visibly.

“K-King Cal-Callahan, wh-what are you doing here?” He asked, and Callahan smiled at him. But there was nothing warm about that smile.

It was cold and deadly.

“Since when do you think that I am answerable to you” His voice was lighthearted, but there was an undercurrent of power to it, a firmness and authority that would make any other man standing in front of him pee his pants.

Callahan came forward, and he only shot me a look. Our gazes met, and I did not need any further motivation.

My legs automatically found the strength, and I ran towards him, bumping into his chest. I sobbed and cried as his hand snaked around my back, pulling me into his protective embrace.

He let me sob and his hand slowly came to rest on my shoulders after patting me, his touch calming me down.

“Calm down. You are okay.”

His voice, that was cold and unforgiving while speaking to Sid, suddenly sounded concerned and warm to me.

Was he really worried about my well-being? How had he even found out that I was here?

There were several questions raging in my mind, but my heart and my body did not want to let go of him.

After that one night we spent together, he had suddenly become cold to me and did not want to even look at me.

I had been yearning for one look from him, just one touch, and this was more than a touch.

It was his embrace that made me feel safe, loved, and protected.

I had glued myself to him and was clawing at his shirt, wanting to pull him closer to me while sobbing hysterically.

“Shh, it’s okay. Nothing is going to happen to you. EVER. Do you understand that?”

He asked me, pulling my face up and making me look in his eyes. His golden eyes were sparkling with concern and worry while I was crying my eyes out.

I saw my reflection in his eyes, the way snot was running down my nose and my hair was askew.

That made me take a pause and calm my nerves. Meanwhile, Callahan’s hand gently continued to brush my back, relieving the tension that had been building up in my muscles.

And then suddenly he pulled me close and placed a kiss on my forehead.

That made my nerves go haywire all over again. Only my mom had ever kissed me like that when I was little whenever I was scared of something or afraid at nights.

Tears stung at the back of my eyes that I tried not to show while looking down at the floor.

“I have to deal with that idiot, but it won’t take long, alright?” His hand brushed my cheek, wiping the tears off my face as sobbed

Sitting on the couch, he took off his coat and draped me in it. While Callahan was trying to calm me down, Sid noticed that the exit was open and tried to slink away.

He was slowly tiptoeing out of the room and had almost reached the door when Callahan got up and was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

“What is that thing in your hand?” Callahan asked, and Sid looked up at the injection stupidly.

He immediately pulled his hands down after realizing that he had been holding it up in the air all this time.

“No-nothing, King” He gulped nervously and put his hand behind his back. Meanwhile, Callahan slowly guided me towards the couch and gently helped me sit on it.

Callahan smiled at him and Sid fumbled, “you.. I was just…”

He began, but could not get words out of his mouth. He tried speaking, but Callahan reached for his neck and closed his hands around it in a second.

The next second, Sid was scrambling as Callahan held him by the neck, his feet dangling in the air as he gasped for air and cried for mercy.

“Shh, stop whining or I will choke you in an instant,” Callahan said and like an obedient kid, Sid immediately went limp.

He stopped struggling while he looked at me.

“Zen-Zenovia, please help. The King has some misunderstanding….

At that, Callahan let out a growl and threw him on the wall. Sid went flying through a few feet and landed on the exact glass wall I had been banging my fists against, hoping that somebody would notice

me.

Sid scrunched on the floor and crumpled like a heap, las bones cracking and his joints creaking as Callahan thundered. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“How dare you try talking to her?”

Sid coughed and wheezed as he rolled on the floor, holding his knees close to his stomach and rocking himself from side to side as if that would give him some relief.

“K-King, I…I found her here. I came to save her.” Sid breathed and Callahan took four large strides and was in front of Sid in the next instant.

“You fucking liar…” The Lycan King was shaking in fury and Sid had a petrified look on his face.

“N-no, please King. Believe me, Lonly came here because I was forced to do so.”

Callahan squatted down and Sid put his hands up on this face, shielding himself against Callahan in a desperate attempt.

“Start talking,” Callahan ordered and Sid began to shake wildly.
