Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

“What everybody else does. You are a ruthless Lycan King.”

“And?”

He straightened his back. “And…and you rule the kingdom and everybody is your subject.”

“Why did you try to run away from me?”

Another question. This was getting awkward.

“I just wanted to have my freedom” I answered, mustering some courage that I did not believe I had.

“So, have I chained you? Are you imprisoned?” Callahan demanded and I could feel the way he was trying really hard to keep his anger at bay.

“Ino…but……you….I don’t know” I finished lamely and I could feel the helplessness in his eyes.

“So

I widened my eyes at that. He had been busy with the shop owner and the flock of girls talking to him.

When did he see Harry slipping me the money?

“You know?”

Callahan gave a mirthless chuckle and raised his hands in the air before they fell limply by his sides, smacking his thighs.

“Do I know? Of course, I do. What do you think I am? A stupid fool? That guy was trapping you and you fell for his trap like

an idiot.”

I felt hurt by his accusations but I could not argue much because it was true.

“I know and I am sorry. I just wasn’t thinking”

“I bet you weren’t. So tell me what made you wish to do that? You have been living with me for almost a month, you had all the chances to run away so why now?”
