I Bought A Male Escort, Turns Out He's The Lycan King (by lg savage) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204

When I didn’t respond, he turned to leave, but he paused.

“Remember the full moon,” he said quietly. “Remember how we worked together.”

I frowned slightly. I’d been trying hard not to remember the night my life turned upside down.

“You took what you needed from me, and I did the same,” he said. “You can do that while the bond exists, but you can also stand tall on your own.”

He turned back to me. The bond pulsed with his pain, yet he didn’t beg for my forgiveness or ask me to understand why he betrayed me.

“Your strength isn’t something to hide,” he said. “What you are isn’t something to hide. There’s a storm coming, but you can weather it, just like last time. Believe in yourself.”

Before I could step back, before I’d even decided to, his hand closed around mine. His warmth flowed instantly, threading into me before I could block it. My fingers twitched in his grip. His strength settled under my skin, steadying the frayed edges of my control.

For a moment, I didn’t feel like I was falling apart.

“Don’t be afraid to take what you need,” he said. “Goodbye, Kitty.”

He released me and stepped back, then his gaze flicked past me to Mal. I followed it instinctively, and my stomach tightened. The two of them held each other’s stare for a fraction too long, something silent passing between them before Hunter turned and disappeared through the trees.

I watched his retreating back, and I couldn’t help but wonder if this was the last time I would see him.

I dragged my focus back to training before the thought could spiral. I pushed until my muscles shook, until sweat soaked through my clothes and my breathing grew rough and uneven. From the clearing to the makeshift gym, and then back again. I didn’t stop, because every time I did, memories of the blood I’d cleaned up in the main room surfaced, and the screams echoed in my head.

Those screams hadn’t exhilarated me like the coven’s screams.

So I kept going, punching the bags, lifting the weights, working the battle ropes, then pushing out and recalling my shadows, again and again.

And then something shifted. It was so subtle at first that I missed it. The shadows hesitated, not in resistance, but in waiting They didn’t snap outwards or lash unpredictably. I didn’t accidentally cause a cold snap and turn the grass into icicles. The magic waited for my command.

My breath slowed.

Even though the bond was wide open, and my mind was chaotic, nothing exploded.

I lifted my hand slightly, and they followed. I lowered it, and they coiled back into me. Then I thought about a target, and they moved smoothly and obediently.

Understanding hit me all at once. I had done this before. In the forest against the dark magic, and at the ball, when my anger had made the Carters submit to me.

Relief flooded me so quickly that my knees weakened, and exhaustion finally caught up to me. I turned towards the house. eager to share my news. Everyone had been waiting for me; I was sure it was because they were too scared to sleep

“Mal,” I called as I stepped inside.

Voices carried faintly from deeper in the cabin, but my heightened senses picked them up easily. Someone was chanting.

I moved lightly, masking myself out of instinct. Maybe the Blackmores had found us and wanted their revenge.

Mal stood near the back entrance, his hands pressed flat against the frame as energy pulsed outward from his palm. Red energy like the Blackmores. I felt the power pressing into me, magic stronger than I’d felt before. Nathan stood nearby, his lips not moving, just watching.

So it was Mal strengthening the wards.

I froze, watching the quiet intensity in his posture, the way the magic responded to him without resistance. The way it was so controlled and precise. It was almost as if he had been born with it.

I gasped, and Nathan’s head snapped around to me. But Mal didn’t stop. The magic continued to spread. And for the first time in the three years I’d known Mal, a cold realisation slid through me.

I had no idea who this man really was.

The Bureau felt different the moment I stepped inside. It was too quiet. It wasn’t the normal hum of controlled chaos; the silence had a weight to it, as if something had shifted in my absence. Conversations stopped as I walked past. Eyes followed me, some of them curious, some wary. And others calculating.

Before this incident, I could walk down any of these halls without many recognising me. Those days were clearly over.

Someone had been talking shit about me.

The elevator doors slid shut behind me, and I loosened the control I’d been holding on my beast just enough for the bond to stir beneath my skin. Kitty hadn’t shut me out yet. I’d spent the night in a hotel in town, tossing and turning, just waiting for the inevitable.

But she was still there.

When she’d let me in the first time, I’d soared. And then I’d crashed the moment I left her with Malcon and Nathan. She hadn’t let me in willingly. She’d still looked at me like I was something she’d scraped off her shoes. That almost indifferent gaze sat heavy on my chest.

The door opened on the executive floor, and my senses were already tingling when I stepped out. Bronson leaned against the opposite wall, with his head lowered but his arms folded. His expression was carefully neutral, his scent carried irritation. and resentment. Not just that, his hatred of me stunk up the hallway.

I walked past without acknowledging him. It was my rotten luck that I had to deal with him so many times lately.

The old werewolf followed behind me as if I’d invited him.

You’ve been difficult to find,” he said.

I wasn’t aware I needed to be found.”

unlocked my office and stepped inside, making sure I closed the door behind me before crossing to my desk. The irritation. on the other side pulsed, and I smirked when the knock came a moment later.

Still, I made him wait. The computer booted while I flipped through the stack of files Tanner had left, stuff that only I could ign off on. All of them were tied to Kitty’s loss of control. My jaw tightened as I skimmed through them.

When Bronson knocked again, I sighed and closed the file.

Come”

When he walked in, he was bristling.

Your Majesty, there was another power surge two nights ago. It was large enough to trigger three of our monitoring grids. You should have been here handling it.”

And yet.” I said calmly, “things appear to be still standing”

That surge originated near your last confirmed loration,” he continued. “Which raises questions

leaned back and folded my arms.

You’re tracking me, Bronson?”
