Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

Chapter 32

The dance with Zenovia had driven Beast on the edge. He was getting harder to control and my restraint was slipping day by day as the innocent girl stayed just a few rooms away from me, right under my roof.

I had every right to touch her, to claim her, yet it felt awfully wrong. She definitely was not using her body or looks to woo me yet I was feeling attracted to her.

And Beast was making things hard for me with his constant bickering. That is also why I wanted to find a solution to his growing irritation.

Beast was a Lycan, a wild animal who had to mate, unlike humans, who could control their desires. And ever since noticing that she was affecting me, Beast made it a point to put scandalous thoughts in my brain involving her.

It was as if I was not only at war with the outside world but also with my Lycan. What Drusilla had been saying so far of my Lycan wanting to take control had seemed like an event that was decades away, but from the past few weeks, I began to notice that it was already unfolding.

Hence, I had reluctantly agreed to go to the ball, but Cynthia just did not make me feel the way Zenovia did. Just what was so special in her?

Maybe, I liked a challenge.

And Zenovia had looked absolutely gorgeous in that off shoulder dress of hers that I was itching to tear away off her body and take a look at the treasure hidden beneath it.

So, I was totally taken off guard when I found her lying on the ground, howling in pain. I did tear off her clothes, just like she asked, but she was in too much pain for me to even focus on her body.

She was frail and tiny, her long slender legs were covered in little scars that I wanted to kiss and take away all her pain. And those sweet little breasts were perfect for me to squeeze and play with.

“King Callahan, so do you agree to the deal?”

I heard a voice speaking to me, but I was too busy imagining how it would feel to kiss those perky little breasts of my little lamb.

“Huh? What?”

I asked, and Alpha West tried not to frown.

“The deal, King. I am supposed to have a meeting with the rogue leader and placate him.”

“Hmm, well, if you cannot put sense into him, I can simply put his head on a spike to show his minions what it means to go against us.”

Alpha West leaned forward, his brows furrowed.
