Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: 3- Fu*ck You, My Queen!

Arabella Toussaint:

I swallowed hard. I could feel my blood running cold as I stood outside the Alpha’s office.

An Omega opened the door and gestured for me to go inside. As instructed by Vanessa, I straightened my posture and kept my eyes down.

Please help me, Moon Goddess.

With a silent prayer, I stepped inside but then stopped. Ceramic pieces lay scattered across the floor, and I could feel tension in the air.

A man sat in the Alpha’s seat who seemed to go still at first. I slowly looked up and had to stop the sudden gasp that was about to slip past my lips.

If the man sitting behind Alpha Chris’ desk was the Lycan King, then the rumors hadn’t done him justice. He looked like a Greek god, and his molten golden eyes slowly scanned me from head to toe.

He looked extremely handsome in black, yet everything about him looked dangerous. A black tattoo trailed up his neck. His messy dark hair fell over his forehead, but nothing about him looked soft. His golden eyes, streaked with amber, held a dangerous glint. Everything about him spoke of power and authority, of a man who was used to everyone obeying his every command.

I couldn’t look at his face for too long.

I didn’t know if I was imagining it, but he seemed to sniff the air before his eyes darted back to my face.

I hurriedly looked down because I didn’t want to meet his cold gaze anymore.

Everything around me went still when I sensed him getting up from his seat. Alpha Chris, Luna Ava, and my parents seemed to go tense in their seats.

Taking slow steps, he reached me, and I wanted to sink more into the floor.

Wasn’t he here to sign the contract today and get it done with? Why was he getting closer?

I almost forgot how to breathe when I felt him leaning towards me. What was he doing?

Goddess! Was he sniffing me?

His black shirt stretched over his muscular chest as he moved.

I tried to look sideways to observe my father’s face to see if I was doing something wrong. But the man didn’t let me.

His forefinger touched my cheek, stopping me from moving.

"Look up!" He commanded in a cold voice, and fear nearly choked me. Mustering up all my courage, I followed his command... and then I felt like someone had punched me in my gut.

Because I was looking into the most intimidating eyes I had ever seen. I couldn’t maintain eye contact and had to look down.

"Interesting!" He whispered.

And then, without warning, his hand moved to the back of my neck as he pulled me closer, forcing my face to the side.

Before I could understand anything, I felt his canines sinking into the side of my neck.

"What the..."

I heard gasps in the room and felt like the world had started spinning before my eyes. It seemed like someone had slashed my skin, and I swear it hurt.

A sharp pain tore through me.

"Now she won’t be able to run away," He said with a smirk and wiped the small blood droplet from his lips using his thumb.

"Now go!" He shoved me and went back to the desk, where a file was placed, "I’ll send someone to collect her."

Collect her? What was I? A possession?

I tried to ignore the throbbing pain in my neck and tried to understand what hurt more. The place where he marked me without my consent, or the notion that all my ways to run away were closed.

He quickly signed the papers and then headed out without a backward glance.

I stood there in shock while the people around me were in chaos.

"He marked her!"

"Goddess. How’s it possible?"

"She was supposed to go there as their slave!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
