The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 40: Heat Of The Moment
ANNABETH'S POVThe footsteps didn’t stop at the door. They came straight through it.The door swung open without a knock or warning and Kael came through slowly.His face was gloomy. No sign of rage, just exhaustion. His dark hair was damp at the temples, like he’d run his hands through it too many times. His shirt was half-undone at the collar, and there was a smear of dirt across his knuckles.He stepped inside and closed the door behind him. The sound of the latch clicking making me jump a little.For a long moment he didn’t speak. He just looked at me. Like he was trying to think of what to say to me. I kept my face straight.The silence stretched until it hurt. My heartbeat speeding up by the tension that lingered. I wanted to say something. But I didn’t. Finally, he looked away from me. His jaw locked Then his eyes came back to mine, and when he spoke, his voice was low and firm.“Let’s get one thing clear.”He took a step closer. Then another. Until he was close enough that I
The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 39: Consequences Of My Actions
ANNABETH'S POVGasps rippled through the crowd when the words came out of my mouth. Some even muttered my name like it was a curse.Goddess, I didn’t know where all that bravery came from.I kept walking until I was standing in the center where they were, right between Kael and Tommy. I could feel Kael’s gaze burning into the side of my face, but I didn’t look at him. Not yet. I looked at Tommy instead.His eyes were glassy now. “Annabeth, you don't have to do....”“Shut up,” I whispered to him. Then louder, to Kael, “You don’t get to do this. You don't get to torture my friends this way.”Kael’s jaw ticked. “You don’t get to tell me what I don’t get to do in my own fortress.”“I’m not telling you,” I said. “I’m begging you.”That seemed to catch him off guard. His brows pulled together, just slightly.“You think I don’t know what they did?” I went on, my voice rising. “I know. I heard about the guards. I know people died. And I’m not saying Tommy shouldn’t pay for that. But this,” I
The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 38: Defending Home
ANNABETH’S POVI moved forward, trying to squeeze my way to the front door so I could see clearly. My shoulder knocked into someone, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t breathe right. My chest felt like it was caving in with every step.I held my breath all through, and once my eyes caught sight of the people that were caught, it felt like I was going to have a heart attack.Tommy. No.My breath hitched and tears pooled up in my eyes, hot and fast. He was kneeling on the cold stone with his hands bound behind him, blood smeared on the side of his jaw. His hair was messy, his shirt torn. But his back was straight. He didn’t look broken yet, He looked furious.I turned to look at Kael who already had his eyes on me. He had a distant look in his eyes and I couldn’t really guess what he was thinking at the moment. His face gave nothing away. It was Stone cold. Like he wasn’t the same man who’d brought me breakfast this morning and teased me about faking sleep.He looked away from me and focus
The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 37: Trails Of Blood
KAEL’S POV~The training hall still smelled like blood and sweat when I left it. I should have felt better after getting it out of my system but I didn’t. Lucien’s words followed me down the cold stone corridors.“Are you even sure she values you as much as you value her, Kael?”I told myself I didn’t care what he thought. But It was evidently getting to me.My feet moved on their own, carrying me back to the east wing. Back To her. I didn’t knock when I reached Annabeth’s door. I caught her, pretending to still be asleep while her pulse moved rapidly.She was very much awake.She lay on the bed, eyes closed, face turned toward the wall. The act was almost convincing. I chuckled under my breath and shut the door quietly behind me. “I'll just go take a quick shower. Feel free to join me instead of trying to take a sneak peek.” I murmured. No answer. I allowed her have her little fake sleep victory.First, I needed to wash this dry blood off my hands and face.The bath
The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 36: Blood And Truth
KAEL’S POVI barely got a blink of sleep last night. It was impossible to sleep while she was lying this close to me. Every breath she took, every shift against the sheets, pulled me in. I lay there watching her, memorizing the way her lashes fanned across her cheeks, the way her lips parted slightly when she dreamed. Once the first light came up, I forced myself up, stretching out the tension in my shoulders. I checked in on Annabeth. She was still fast asleep, her face peaceful in a way it rarely was when she was awake. I smiled without meaning to and leaned down, pressing a kiss to her forehead. Soft. Barely there. I hoped it wouldn’t wake her. I dressed quickly in a simple grey top and sweatpants. I was free of palace duties today and planned on dealing with Lucien.The air outside was sharp with morning cold. I took a deep breath, letting the scent of damp snow clear my head. Then I caught it, Lucien's scent. Just who I was looking for. Sweat, steel, and that infur
The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 35: Under My Skin
KAEL’S POVI hit the woods, running, as soon as the Moon gathering festivities ended. I left my guards at the palace, to make sure everything had properly ended with no problems left unattended.My mind was clouded by the thoughts of Annabeth and the moment I caught scent of her as I got closer to the mansion, I felt relieved. That sweet strawberry and lavender scent that intoxicated me.The air was also mixed with a foreign scent I didn't recognize.Surely some foreign wolves had been in my fortress tonight, as I have the scent of every wolf that worked for me, memorized, and these particular scents were new to me.I moved faster than I should have. Didn’t bother with the door as I jumped, entering the mansion through the windows high up. I needed to see She was safe and okay.I got to her room but she wasn't there. Then I heard her voice, she was speaking with Chad and Victor downstairs.I stood by her door, waiting, as she took two steps at a time up the stairs.She looked surprise
The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 22: Dress To Impress
ANNABETH’S POV I slammed the door to my room and pressed my back against it, chest heaving like I’d just run from the border itself. The wood was cold against my spine, grounding me, but it didn’t stop the tremor running through my hands. The hallway was silent now. Kael’s presence had vanished
The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 20: Red Moon Pack
TOMMY'S POV RED MOON PACKRed Moon Pack was asleep. The only light came from the war room in the back of the Alpha’s cabin. Maps were spread across the table, marked with charcoal. The air smelled like wolf, old paper, and my desperation. I stood at the head of the table, fists planted on the
The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 19: The Confession
KAEL'S POV The library still smelled like her. Strawberry and lavender clinging to the chaise, the blanket she’d left behind, the pages of that book with the bent corner. I hadn’t moved since she walked out. I stood by the fireplace, one arm braced on the mantle, staring into flames that did no
The Lycan Enforcer Chapter 18: Fickle Feelings~
KAEL'S POVThe drive back from the palace was silent. My guards knew better than to speak when my jaw was locked this tight.I just refused a princess. In front of the Council. In front of the prince and In front of a king who derives joy in holding grudges.Idiot, my father’s voice would have snar
