King Novel 4

Chapter 4

I should have known-1 should have the king known

The door creaked open earlier, and then he's there,

Barefoot, shirtless, and looking like every bad decision Eve ever wanted to

The bloodied bandages wrapped around his torso should make him look vulnerable, but they don't. Instead, they only lightened up the absurd perfection of his body-the ridges of his abs, the curve of his shoulders, the sharp line of his jaw. That was the first thing I saw when I picked him up and Goddess knows how much I shouldn't have.

His damp hair sticks to his forehead, a few stray strands falling into those green eyes that seem to cut through the hallways.

11 Kallias is a polished prince, then this guy is a fucking war god,

Seraphina who is still standing behind Kallias finally had her hands loose from my mate. Her jaw drops, her wide eyes drinking the man in like she's parched and he's the last drop of water in the desert.

Ugh, can she not

"Kallias," she whispers, clutching at his arm as though it's the only thing keeping her upright-or her panties upright.

"Who is that?"

I want to laugh at her. Of course, she's gawking. The irony is almost too much to bear-she's clinging to my mate she just stole over night while drooling over the rogue who looks like he just stepped out of one of those over-the-top romance novel

I clench the man's hand, still around my waist. He saved me back there. If he already said I'm 'his woman, then no reason not to play along, right?

"Oh, him?" I say, the words slipping out before I can stop them. "He's my long- distance boyfriend."

Kallias snaps his head toward me, his eyes narrowing. "So what that doctor said was right all along."

Shit

The rogue-no, this um well super hot man-arches a brow, his lips twitching as he fights a smile.

"Yes," I say, doubling down because at this point, why the hell not? They cheated on me, so why can't I do the same?

No, wait Taryn, that seems a little fucked up.

"My long-distance boyfriend. He just got here. From... a very far away pack

Kallias's eyes flash gold, his wolf climbing to the surface. "You think this is funny, Thryn?"

"No," I say innocently, shrugging. "I think it's the truth."

The rogue doesn't react-at least not the way I expect him to. Instead of correcting me or making things more awkward, he steps closer to me, his hand tightening around my waist like it belongs there.

My skin burns where his large fingers touch, even with my clothes on. Fuck, every single one of my nerve is alive under the hands of a stranger I shouldn't even know.

"Taryn," I was pulled out of my thought when the stranger lowered his head just ear-level, a shudder immediately slips out of me with his breath fanning my skin.

"She's already with me." he says, his tone calm, and it wouldn't ake a genius to see that this whole situation is beneath him.

It's the kind of calm that sets Kallias off instantly.

Enoch doesn't flinch. He just looks down at Kallias as if he's a mildly interesting bug and no one, and I mean no one has ever done that to someone like Kallias
