Traded To The Lycan King by MG Wattsons

Chapter 84

He looks down the hallway once more, taking hold of my arm, just above my elbow, as he forces me along. After a moment, the air grows cooler and my chest feels like a heavy weight has been lifted off of it. I inhale sharply, my eyes closing, relishing the fresh cool air that fills my lungs.

“What is she doing out of her cage?” someone asks and I snap my eyes open to see Jennifer standing in front of us, her hands on her hips, her eyes glowing like an ember in a waning campfire.

“Move,” the guard with me grunts out, taking an imposing step toward her. She rolls her eyes and shifts her hips before she glances at me and back up at him, a curious arch to her brow.

“It’s just that Giselle said…” she trails off for a moment and clears her throat. Her demeanor changes completely as she smooths her outfit out with her hands and steps to the side. “Carry on,”

Tieran frowns at her but ushers me along, looking over his shoulder before frowning as he turns me down a different hallway. He presses me into the wall, peeking around the corner for a second, and then he hums in thought.

Its obvious something is amiss, but with not knowing either of them well and having no desire to know them any better than I currently do, I keep my mouth shut.

“Does she not seem suspicious to you?” He asks, absentmindedly.
