Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

Chapter 85

Zenovia

The thought of finding my wolf was already making me nervous so if she saw me struggle with shifting or saw that I did not even awaken my wolf, then I would not even bother going to the meeting.

I would simply hide in my room. If Callahan got angry or wanted to punish me for defying his orders, I was okay with that instead of parading myself in front of all the alphas and never awakening my wolf.

I would have no face to show. It would be humiliating.

Multiple such thoughts churned through my head and I waited anxiously for Drusilla to speak.

“I would only hope that you awaken your wolf soon.”

I wanted that too but she was clearly not telling me everything.

“Drusilla, please,” I begged and she let out a sigh.

“The Lycan King… what do you think of him?” She asked me and I was surprised by the sudden change of topic.

“Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“Answer me please”

I shrugged, “I find him to be obnoxious and a little rude but he helped me train so I will not declare him as the worst person ever.”

She chuckled at that. “And?”

“And?” I repeated.

“That’s it?” she asked and I tried to hide the way my heart raced as if she knew exactly what I was thinking.

“And nothing else” I answered.

She kept looking at me intently for a while and narrowed her eyes but I did not break eye contact.

After a while, she replied, “Well, just know that you were brought here for a special purpose. You do know of the curse on the Lycan King, right?”

I nodded. Everybody did.

“Well, let us just say that my visions tell me you could free him of his curse.”
