Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110: 110- Not A Dream

Arabella Toussaint:

Lucien barely looked at me before turning to Bradley. "I’ve been looking for you. Where were you?" he muttered. "And why aren’t you answering your phone or replying to my messages?"

Phone? Messages?

What happened to the mindlink? I had seen wolves and Lycans communicate through mindlink, yet these two were apparently texting each other like humans.

"I was eating, man." Bradley gestured toward his plate as if the answer should have been obvious.

Lucien gave him a look. "For the last forty minutes?"

"I was waiting for Arabella and..." He leaned ahead. "I like to chew my food." He finished with a wink.

I lowered my face before either of them noticed the smile threatening my lips. I was aware Lucien treated Bradley more like a friend.

Lucien glanced at the file lying beside him. "Did you receive the reports from the northern packs?"

"Most of them." Bradley wiped his fingers on a napkin before reaching for the file. "Red Creek still hasn’t sent the final numbers. Their Alpha wants another twenty warriors stationed along the eastern boundary."

"Why?"

"They’ve had three more rogue sightings this week."

Something shifted in Lucien’s expression. "Three?"

Bradley nodded and opened the file. "None crossed the boundary, but they were seen close enough for the patrols to pick up their scent. I’ve already asked them to double the night patrol until we know what they’re doing there."

I continued eating while listening to them. I knew enough about pack life to understand that a few rogues wandering near the border wasn’t unusual, but judging by the way Lucien was questioning Bradley, three sightings in one week was too much.

"Send two additional patrol teams," Lucien said. "Not twenty warriors. If the sightings continue, we’ll increase the number."

Bradley made a note in the file. "I’ll inform the Alpha."

Before he could say anything else, movement near the café counter caught my eye. Jasmine had just walked in.

She hadn’t noticed us and went directly to the counter with a clipboard in one hand and began speaking to the Omega in charge of the café, occasionally looking down at whatever was written on the sheet.

I glanced sideways at Lucien, who was still talking to Bradley. "The western packs?" he asked.

"No new incidents. I spoke to Alpha Marcus this morning. Their border has been quiet lately."

Lucien gave a small nod and reached straight for my plate. Before I realized what he was doing, he picked up one of my fries and ate it without even pausing his conversation.

I stared at his hand. My first instinct was to slap it away before he came back for another one, but then I remembered exactly who he was.

Obviously, His Majesty could steal whatever the hell he pleased to. I pulled my plate a little closer to myself and picked up my Coke. My attention had returned to Jasmine.

She was still talking to the Omega at the counter. Shouldn’t Lucien know she was there? I knew how sharp a Lycan’s sense of smell was. There was no way he hadn’t picked up Jasmine’s scent from across an almost empty café.

Yet he hadn’t looked at her once. Weren’t they fated mates?

I took a sip of my Coke and watched him from the corner of my eye. He was listening to Bradley while swallowing the fry he took from my plate.

Poor Brad! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
