Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter novel Chapter 66

 

Chapter 66 

 

I kept striding forward, not minding the person running behind me. 

“Hey, where are you going?” 

Elijah began sprinting when I quickened my pace and he was in front of me in the blink of an eye. 

I had forgotten I was too slow for a werewolf. Even if I ran forward with all my strength, he would catch me in the blink of an 

cyc. 

I wiped the tears off my face while he stopped in front of me, blocking my way. 

“I have been calling your name for the last five minutes and you are running away as if you saw a ghost” 

He grumbled and then took a moment to catch his breath. I felt just a tad bit satisfied that I had made the Lycan King feel out of breath, if only for a second.

“Nothing. I just wanted to focus on traming. I muttered and stepped aside while continuing to walk forward. “Where are you even going?” He asked, and I turned around, my hands on my hips. 

“Away from the stupid pack and the stupid King” 

Elijah tried hard to keep a straight face, but I saw the hint of a smile creep up his lips. 

“By walking towards the mansion? The very mansion the stupid King owns?” He asked, and I looked at him with a frown. 

I had called his King stupid, yet he was teasing me. Had it been anybody else, Elijah would have hit the person and then asked questions. 

“So, where am I supposed to go?” I asked haughtily, and Elijah’s smile widened a little. 

“I understand you are a little frustrated, but please know that Elder Lina is just a little strict and seems rude on the outside, but she is sweet once you get to know her.” 

I folded my hands upon my chest. 

“I thought of meeting everyone and not sitting in that big mansion alone, staring at the walls while your precious King went Goddess knows where. But I don’t think your pack likes me.” 

“Our pack…technically, you are one of us now…you are under the security of Callahan, just like the rest of us.” 

Security, my foot. Yes, he had saved me from the rogue King and Sid, but then he had resorted to being sulky and angry with me. 

“Relax, he will be returning in an hour or two” 

My anger evaporated a little at the thought of seeing him again. He had left abruptly, and it had only been a few hours, but I was already missing him. 

And I hated the fact that he did not miss me. 

“How do you know?” I asked Elijah as he fell in steps beside me and we began walking towards the mansion again. 

“I am his garma. Plus, we have mind links, you know.” 

I nodded. Of course, they could communicate with each other without having the need to be around physically. How would it feel to hear his voice in my head? To always check on him through mind link and talk to him? 

I shook my head at that thought. I had to focus on awakening my wolf first. 

“I don’t have the ability to mind link. Hell, I don’t even have a wolf yet” 

Elijah smiled. “But you have a phone and we can stay in touch through that for now. I am sure you would awaken your wolf 

soon.” 

While we walked our way back towards the mansion, Elijah kept motivating me with his words and trying to ease my frustration. 

“Why did none of you introduce me to the rest of the pack before?I did not see them even at the ball.” 

I asked, as Elijah stopped a bit to tie his shoelaces. 

“Well, as you saw, our pack feels a little hesitant to meet strangers because everybody just keeps attacking either them or Callahan. Mind you, the attacks are not always harmful but just petty people who like to take out their grudges against himn 

on the weak ones.” 

“Who would even try attacking the fiercest Lycan’s pack? Callahan would tear them apart.” 

 

Elijah’s smile wavered, and he fell deep in thoughts. It was as if he was debating if he should tell me whatever was going on in 

his mind. 

“The curse put on Callahan by that witch. It is slowly growing stronger.” 

I would have joked that Callahan looked extremely fit and fine, but the grim look on Elijah’s face told me that it was a bad idea to say that. 

“What do you mean?” I asked instead. 

Elijah replied, “Callahan was not always this serious or pushed others away around as much as he does now. He used to be much more calm and relaxed. But he learned early on in life that people change. His trust was broken often enough that he grew cold and distant.” 

I was a little surprised to hear this. I had always thought that Callahan grew up in riches, was spoiled rotten, and that was why he was so smug and thought highly of himself. 

But this information was news to me. Not that I could not relate to it. 

I recalled something that Drusilla had mentioned earlier. 

“The curse. If I remember correctly, Drusilla had spoken about some anchor and even you had assumed that I was his anchor. But nobody ever tells me what that is supposed to mean.” 

When I said that, Elijah stopped dead in his tracks. I had walked a few steps ahead, so I turned around to look at him. “What is wrong?” 

But he only stared at me and then slowly replied, “That was a mistake” 

“What was?” I inquired. 

“You better get your ans from the King himself. None of us are authorised to speak about it.” 

Oh, now I got it. 

That is why they always avoided that topic and never answered my questions. But then how would I find out things if they always kept me in the dark? 

Another thought popped into my head. 

“Do you know where the Lycan King was last night?” 

Elijah answered immediately. “Where else is he supposed to be? He must be either in his office or in some meeting. Why?” I furrowed my eyebrows at that. 

So, Callahan had not told any of them about where he was last night, or rather where both of us were. 

Not that I was hoping to tell anybody how he went on his knees to claim my entrance, but I thought he would tell them. about Sid and this rogue night. 

Apparently. Elijah did not know anything about that or he would have mentioned it. 

I had to find out more about this anchor thing and also who this rogue King was. If he found me through Harry/ Sid once, he would find me again. 

While we reached the gate, some mechanical voice reached my ears. 

I looked around curiously and Elijah muttered, “Your phone, check it” 

I pulled it out of my pocket to see what was it. I just carried the phone around, but I really had nobody to chat with or call. 

Hence, when a notification popped up, I looked at it curiously. 

“I have a message” 

“Yeah, open it” Elijah encouraged me. 

I did as asked and read it aloud. “See, now your inbox isn’t so empty” 

I gave him a small smile, and he chuckled in return. 

“Whenever you are bored, you can text me or give me a call.” 

I bit my lip nervously. “But would it not interfere with your duties?” I did not want Callahan to scold him like last time. Though I did not speak out loud the last line, he noticed the unease in my expressions.
