Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157: 157- She Was Bluffing, Right?

Arabella:

I had barely taken a step when her voice filled my head again.

I’m not the one who stayed away from you, Arabella.

That made me stop.

Remember the dream? I appeared to you once before... in human form. I told you to keep a close eye on everything around you.

My anger faded a little as I slowly faced the mirror again. Yes, I remembered. That strange dream. The beautiful woman wearing black.

"You were..."

Yes. I tried to contact you, but the wolfsbane dose in your system was so high that I couldn’t reach you.

I took a step closer to the mirror. "I could never feel you..." The wolf was quiet for a moment.

Because someone has been poisoning you, Arabella.

The statement shocked me. "What?"

You were being poisoned by your family before you came to this palace. It took ages to flush it out of your system. The moment your period arrived, I woke up. It was because of my presence that Lucien came for you. His half-dead lycan felt me through the bond. And now...

She trailed off. My fingers curled around the edge of the sink. "Now?"

Someone doesn’t want me to wake up. They don’t want you to have your wolf back. For the last few days, I was feeling better and wanted to surprise you. But then..." She sighed.

A cold feeling crept through me, and my mouth went dry. "I don’t understand. What are you talking about?" I rubbed the back of my neck. "Who can do this to me? Jasmine? Queen Theodora? Amy?"

I don’t know, Arabella.

For the first time, something changed in my wolf’s silver eyes. She didn’t look frightening to me anymore. She looked weak. Fighting for her life. Fighting for me.

You need to stay safe, Arabella. It’s a wolf’s responsibility to protect its human. If someone harms you, I’ll be the first to take it upon myself.

Her voice grew quieter inside my head. Please, Arabella. Do something before I die... like Zorro...

There was so much pain in her eyes as she talked about him. Her mate.

I leaned closer to the mirror and opened my mouth to say something, but before I could utter a word, she vanished. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Just like that. Poof!

Tonight, I chose a fitted black dress with a square neckline and a slit running up one thigh. The fabric was soft, and the long sleeves gave it a more elegant look.

As Toby and I made our way toward the celebration hall, I almost wanted to tell him about my wolf, but then I changed my mind. I would tell him after the ceremony. Preferably somewhere private, where I could explain everything without worrying about someone overhearing us.
