Traded To The Lycan King by MG Wattsons

Chapter 117



Caspian enters the kitchen looking a little better than he had when he arrived. He rummages in the fridge looking for anything he can find to eat as I sit with a cup of warm tea, waiting for Colette to get back.

"How are Hayes and his mate?" He asks as he closes the fridge door.

I shrug. “As good as can be, I suppose we are lucky that Colette and I arrived when we did."

"Did you have as warm of a welcome as I did?" He asks, walking over with a pint of ice cream and a spoon. I arch a brow, watching him with curiosity. "Ice cream?" I ask him skeptically and he just stares at me as he opens it and spoons a bite in.

"There are many things I love about being up here. This is one of those things." He explains as the front door opens. I stand up, waiting anxiously for Colette to walk through, even though I know with every fiber that it is for sure her. But that doesn't matter. There is nothing better than physically being able to have eyes on her.

"We came as fast as we could." She says, a soft exhale when she meets my gaze, her body relaxing as she moves to me as I lift my arms. She melts into me, her embrace feeling like home as I fill my lungs with her scent.

"Are you okay?" Melody asks Caspian as she moves past me.

My lips find the top of Colette's head before I look up to watch Caspian look up from his ice cream with a look of surprise on his face, spoon in his mouth.

“Me?" He asks, removing it and swallowing roughly.

"Yes,"

“Uh, I'm okay. Nothing I couldn't handle." He says, sounding like he is trying to boast. I shoot him an amused look, and he clears his throat. "Elm is here, Colette."

She breaks our embrace too soon, as I slip my arm around her back, seeking her touch at every turn.

“Is he still here? What did he say" She asks, looking around for him.

"He will be back." Caspian says. "Right now, he is with Hayes and Leandra, trying to help them."

Colette breaks in, her eyes wide with
