Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

Chapter 148

Callahan stormed out of the room, the sound of his footsteps thudding across the hallway as he made his way through the hallway.

I had seen him angry, but not so much when it was me.

He would be annoyed or irritated at best, and when he lost control, he was a feral monster.

But this rage was that of a human with feelings and emotions. The anchor bond in my wrist felt hot to the touch.

And I could feel it all directed at me. I threw a nervous look at the pack members who just slid out of the room, worried that Callahan would storm back and break their necks.

Matteo placed a hand on my shoulder and shrugged, “You will be alright” and left as well.

Elijah, however, stood beside me, leaning on the table as I did.

“He is going to kill me,” I mumbled and Elijah replied,

“You know he can’t. Not technically”

I snorted, “Because I am his anchor?”

“Because he loves you”

Elijah said the line so simply as if it was a well-known fact as simple and truthful as the sun rising up the east every single day.

My eyes widened and I looked up at him, surprise evident in my eyes.

“How?”

Elijah gave me an amused smile, “How do I know? Well…” he pointed at the hallway Callahan had just walked through and the door that was creaking a bit.

“…that was a blindingly bright example of how much he loves you and cares for you and I would be blind as a bat to not see that”

Callahan had said all the other words of how he needed me and cared for me, but love was not a word I had seen him use.

Could he really love me? After Aislynn? What if I manage to break his curse and some other girl turns out to be his mate?

I did not know. And I was afraid to find the answer.
