Traded To The Lycan King by MG Wattsons

Chapter 66

Merikh sits on the edge of the bed, his muscles quivering as he stares at Hyacinth, who looks out of place in her velvet dress and crown. I take his hand in mine, his fingers twitching as he frowns up at me,

“You went into the woods? Without me?” He asks, his lips pinched together as he processes what I’ve told him so far…

“Well, you aren’t exactly mobile, Merikh. Hayes was in a panic and I’ve never seen him like that. It scared me, so I had to go with him.” I say, defensively.

“Hayes is a big boy. He can take care of himself,” he says flatly, his eyes narrowed. “You should have woken me up or taken Penny as well, or something.”

“There wasn’t any time for any of that.” I tell him truthfully. “Hayes took off. He wasn’t in his right mind. Plus, I’m a big girl and I don’t need to always be coddled or protected.”

“First of all 1

of all, Hayes is always in his right mind. He doesn’t do irrational or erratic behavior.” He argues back. “And big girl or not, you are a Luna! not a warrior, Colette.”

“Exactly, I am a Luna, and one with water skills. I am not completely useless anymore, Merikh. I am learning and getting stronger.”

“That doesn’t matter. It was stupid and you should have-

“Oh, come on!” I throw my hands up in anger. “His mate was in pain, and he was helpless. If you had seen him, Merikh. He was so broken. How would you have reacted? If it had been you next to him?” I ask him. He looks away, his jaw muscles tensing before he sighs heavily.

“Fine. So you went into the woods and found a random woman and decided to bring her back with you?” He asks, peeking past me at Hyacinth, who wanders around the room like she is assessing the decorations.

“Not just a random woman,” she murmurs without sparing him a glance. “A fae princess.”

He rolls his eyes and scoffs.

“Okay..but…that’s not even what is important right now,” I groan, pinching the bridge of my nose with my free hand. This is not going well at all Clearly, his pain is making him unreasonable, well, more unreasonable than usual.

“For fuck’s sake, what the hell could be more important than you running off after fucking danger with our unhinged beta when people are out there trying to fucking kill you?” He asks in a growly voice, his eyes dark with anger as he stares at me.

“That beta is your brother, I remind him with a scowl, choosing to ignore the logic he spews about the imminent danger surrounding my very existence.

“And what did my brother think he would find out there to help his mate?” He asks, pushing up off the bed, grimacing as he straightens
