Babysitting The Amnesiac Lycan King

Chapter 100

Chapter 100

Fuck it, he walks so fast. Those legs better stop or I'm gonna lose my breath before I make my point.

“Ah, damn it” I trip on one of the rocks, one of my shoes sliding out. I rush after him with only one shoe on the other. "Enoch! Listen!" I scream, losing the last ounce of care I have for all the sleeping pack members right now. This bastard.

I'll kickbox his face.

He doesn't speak when I follow him into the palace. He doesn't look back either. He simply walks like a storm, thunder in his footsteps, fury bleeding from his skin.

This man is a god. A very infuriating one too.

My palms are still clammy from where I touched him earlier. I should have cherished those few seconds while I could. It was the first I had touched him for the last week. I don't care if it was his wolf and not entirely him.

I glance down at my hands while I rush behind him. I can still feel the way his body vibrated under mine-violent, feral, as though he was seconds from snapping every bone in Liam's neck.

He would've.

He really would've killed him.

For a kiss that never happened. I need him to know it didn't happen.

The doors to the garden slam shut behind us with a bang that makes one of the maids jump. I don't stop moving. I don't fucking blink. Because I know the moment I do, he'll disappear again.

He already did once. I can't let him slip away again.

"Enoch," I call, voice sharp, chest tight from walking too much.

He keeps walking. There's no sign of him slowing down, he doesn't even flinch.

God, he's really doing this. Shutting me out. Again.

"Are you just gonna pretend I didn't stop you from murdering someone in the backyard?"

Still nothing.

So I chase after him-barefoot on the other-and grab his arm just before he makes it to the hallway near his quarters.

He yanks it out of my grip.

"Don't fucking touch me right now, Sinclair."

My last name. That's rich.

I laugh, sharp and humorless. “Oh, we're doing this again? The full-name, passive-aggressive, cold-ass treatment? Should I bow while I'm at it, your Highness?"

He spins. Finally. And his eyes-his fucking eyes-are pitch black. Not just angry. Betrayed. Again. As though I just stabbed him in the ribs and twisted the blade.

"You kissed him."

"I didn't." My voice is low now. Even. Too even.

He snarls. "I heard him. I saw

"You saw nothing," I snap, stepping into him. "You assumed like you always do, because the idea of trusting me is so foreign to you it must burn like acid in your throat."

His jaw flexes. His fists are still clenched as if he's one second away from putting them through the wall.

But I'm not done.

"Why is that so hard for you to believe?" My voice is shaking and I can feel the lump in my throat slowly rising up. Don't cry now, Taryn. You haven't said everything yet.
