Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125: 125- Show Yourself

Arabella Toussaint:

For a few seconds, nothing happened. Then something began to rise out of Queen Theodora’s body. Something similar to black, dense smoke. I shot up from the bed.

Her physical body remained exactly where it was, sitting on the floor with her eyes closed, while another version of her slowly separated from it. It floated upward before turning toward the window.

What the fuck?

Was she actually going to Victor? Was she really the one getting into his dreams and scaring him every night?

Okay. I needed to follow her.

But I was in no mood to float all the way to Victor’s house. I had discovered a much faster way a few minutes ago, so I closed my eyes.

I need to be in Victor’s room. The moment I said it to myself, everything changed. When I opened my eyes again, I was standing inside a bedroom.

"Whoa," I whispered. Victor was lying on the bed.

Even in the dim light, he looked terrible. His face seemed thinner than it had earlier, and the dark circles beneath his eyes looked worse now. He was lying stiffly against the pillows instead of relaxing into them, as though even closing his eyes required effort.

A young woman sat beside him, holding his hand. Who was she? Victor’s mate?

I moved closer. The woman looked young, probably somewhere around Victor’s age, and her eyes never left his face. She stroked the back of his hand with her thumb.

"Don’t worry," she murmured. "She won’t scare you tonight, Victor. I’m right here." Victor’s eyes, which had just started to close, flew open and he jerked upright.

"Are you sure?" His fingers closed tightly around hers. "Are you sure she won’t come back, Anna?" The girl’s eyes filled with fresh tears.

"There’s no one here." She moved closer to him. "I’m with you. She can’t do anything to you. Just try to sleep, honey. You need to sleep." Victor shook his head frantically, then he started crying.

"Please." His voice broke as he held on to her hand. "Please save me, Anna. She can come anytime. You know I haven’t been able to sleep properly for years."

"I know." Anna wiped his face with her free hand. "I know, Victor... and I’m right here."

Her eyes moved toward the nightstand. I followed her gaze and found a bottle of sleeping pills sitting beside a glass of water.

"I even gave you the sleeping pills, Victor," she said softly. "Just give them some time to work, okay?"

I stood a few feet away, watching them. I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t speak to Victor. I couldn’t tell him that I was there, and I believed him. Eventually, the pills didn’t seem to work on him.

Victor lay back, although his hand remained wrapped around Anna’s. His breathing slowly evened out, and within a few minutes, a faint snore escaped him.

The girl whose name was Anna didn’t leave. She leaned back in the chair, still holding his hand, and her swollen eyes were fixed on him.

Then something moved near the window, and I turned to look at it. A shadow seemed to be slipping silently into the room, making my entire body go still. I didn’t need to see her face to know who it was.
