Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter novel Chapter 148

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. 

“I know that he is mad at me. But, all I wanted to do was help. I cannot sit idle when all of you keep risking your lives.” 

“That is the thing that he is worried about, you know,” Elijah said, clicking a pen on and off to give himself something to do. 

“What do you mean?” 

My first thought had been to run after Callahan and make him understand why I did what I did but then the way he had stomped his feet told me he wanted to be left alone for a while. 

But I was not sure if I could calm my heart with the way his rage was continuing to simmer as if kept on a low boil. 

Callahan was confused and restless but there were so many emotions that I was not sure which one was affecting him the most. 

“Cal is a simple guy. I have never seen him care about anyone like he cares about you. He is annoyed at your behaviour but simultaneously, he is also very very proud that you are not weak. He respects strength and courage above all.” 

I sighed, clutching my chest. “I did not feel that last part when he looked at me as if I had committed the biggest sin by suggesting my plan.” 

Elijah rubbed my shoulder and offered me a small smile. 

“Give him some alone time. He will come around. Meanwhile, if you want him to not be pissed at you the next time you see him, just be prepared with the plan and how you will execute it.” 

Elijah stood up and I asked, “You believe in me, right?” 

He smiled, “You know the answer to that.” 

With that he left as I stood leaning on the table, wondering how to calm Callahan. It was one thing to be in front of him when he was annoyed due to external factors and another to face him when his ire was directed 

at me. 

Though talking to Elijah helped me calm down a little.

He said that Callahan respected strength and courage. He might be angry with me for now but Elijah had given me something to do. 

Sighing, I too straightened my back and reached for my phone. Elijah was right. I better be ready with a foolproof plan before I faced Callahan again. 

And, I needed just some help from a very capable seer cum witch. 

Dialing Drusilla’s number, I asked her, “Where are you?” 

“Zee, oh my god, it has been so long since I talked to you. How are you?” 

“I am fine for now but won’t be if you don’t help me. Your best friend just gave me a long death stare and I don’t want to face him alone.” 

At that, she seemed to jump up from her desk because I heard the sound of notebooks and pens crashing on the floor. 

“What did you do now?” She asked me sternly. 

“Can’t tell you over the phone. Can we meet today?” I asked hopefully. 

I heard the clicking of heels and the clinking of keys as she grabbed her purse and car keys. 

“Fine. I am coming over in half an hour. I have to meet my idiot friend since the last time I walked out on him. He did not even bother calling me back.” 

Her tone was accusatory and I was thankful that I was not in front of her when I accidentally giggled. 

But she was sharp enough to sense it. 

“Did you just mock my misery?” She asked indignantly. 

Shaking my head, I regained my composure and replied, “How can I dru? Let us bitch about him together. But not here because he is home. Can we meet somewhere outside?” 

I could sense her next question and answered it even before she would ask me. 

“I can go out of the mansion as and when I wish. So yes, we are going out.” 

“Damn, girl, now I am very, very curious” Drusilla added excitedly and I

replied, 

“Let us just meet at Friends Cafe. I will tell you all about it” I 

disconnected the phone before she would harass me further and then sent a quick text. 

-Can you come to meet me in 2 hours or so if I ask 

-Of course, just let me know- 

-Great- 

you to?- 

After sending the short message, I too went to my room to freshen up. There was no sign of Callahan on my way to the room and the anchor bond wasn’t tingling as much as before.
