Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137: 137- In My Fiancé’s Bedroom!

Arabella:

I was taking a stroll around the palace grounds with Maya and Toby, forgetting how to wipe this stupid grin off my face. Even my friends weren’t helping.

Ever since I had told them where I spent the night, they had been relentless. Every few minutes, Maya would make some comment about the King or his bedroom, and my face would heat up all over again.

"You two seriously need something better to talk about," I complained, bumping my shoulder against Maya’s.

"We had plenty of things to talk about before." She bumped me right back. "Then someone decided to spend the night in the King’s bed only in a t-shirt then made love to him in her dreams... and suddenly we have more interesting stuff to talk about."

"I swear, Maya. I went there because I was scared!" I explained, rolling my eyes.

"And somehow ended up climbing onto him this morning," Toby added with a chuckle.

I shot him a glare. "Whose friend are you, Toby?"

He shrugged, looking everywhere but me. "Depends. Who’s buying me lunch?" I grabbed his hand and twisted it until he laughed and tried to pull free.

He managed to escape me, still laughing. "Speaking of things..." He suddenly got serious, "... you’ve conveniently forgotten, when are you going back to the case?" That sobered me a little.

I shrugged and caught his hand again as we continued walking. "Not for a few days. Lucien wants me to stay away from the investigation until I’m completely better." Toby raised an eyebrow.

Maya threw back her head and laughed so loudly that two passing Omegas turned to look at us. I had to shove my elbow into her ribs. "What?"

"I’m just trying to understand when this happened." She gestured at me from head to toe. "Arabella Toussaint, obediently following the King’s orders without arguing? Should we call a witch? You might be possessed."

Witch? That reminded me of Lilith. The sweet woman who was willing to treat me.

"Oh, shut up." I shoved her aside and walked ahead of them. She stumbled dramatically into Toby, who caught her before she could fall.

"Murder attempt!" Maya called after me.

"Shut up!"

"Toby is a witness, bitch!"

Their arguing made me smile, but then I remembered the one thing that had been bothering me since morning. "There is one thing I’m worried about, though." I raised a finger without turning around.

Their footsteps hurried behind me until they caught up. "And what would that be?" Maya asked.

"Jasmine." My smile faded. "She still isn’t back. I thought she would return early this morning after getting the news of..." I trailed off meaningfully, "if you know what I mean..."

Maya considered that for a few seconds. "Maybe she died." I stopped walking and turned to look at her. "What?"

She shrugged. "Wouldn’t that really be the best outcome? Problem solved. She never comes back, you never have to deal with her, and we all live happily ever after."

"What is she doing with Amy?" I whispered. More importantly, why was she still quiet? I had expected some kind of reaction from her by now. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
