Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

Chapter 91

The ride to the lake was slow and I could not help but feel the tension in the air, in the small cabin space of the car with just me and Callahan.

I had blurted out my fascination with him quite stupidly, unabashedly, if I might add, and I could not even blame having done that under the influence of alcohol.

If he simply played with my emotions and left me broken, it would leave me with nowhere to go.

I fidgeted with my fingers as Callahan drove the car in silence: The drive was short, but it felt like an eternity before we reached there.

I could see the way he was clutching the steering wheel and the way he was looking outside, the veins in his throat almost popping out.

Had I freaked him out? Definitely not. He was the King of werewolves, for Goddess’ sake. How could someone like me unnerve him?

I tried to focus on the scenery outside. Just like last time, it was dark and I could faintly see the varying shades of green when the car’s light shone on them.

Callahan drove the car gently, and I leaned on the window, trying to calm my jittery nerves.

I had to ignore my fascination with him and focus on how to shift. I would not have the courage to meet his eyes if I failed yet again.

My gaze inadvertently traveled to the sky above. The night was getting darker, and the moon was hidden behind the trees and a few clouds.

There was a light dusting of the stars in the sky, just like my dress, I thought with a smile.

In the next few minutes, we reached the lake.

Callahan turned the ignition off and finally turned to look at me. His golden eyes were a stark contrast to the dark shade all around me.

Those eyes looked even more enticing in the serene atmosphere around us.
