Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: 40- Lilith

Lucien Volkov:

"Show yourself, Lilith," I commanded her as soon as I went inside the senior doctor’s office and closed the door behind me.

First, there was silence, and then the air near the window shimmered, and a woman slowly emerged from the shadows.

"My King!" she bowed to me.

Long raven hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her violet eyes met mine without fear.

"No need to go through these formalities, Lilith," I said in a clipped voice, sitting behind the desk, "I came here as soon as I got your mindlink."

With a nod, she took a seat across from me, "So you marked her?" she asked me while keeping her eyes closed.

I nodded, "I did."

She stayed quiet for a while and then started chanting something under her breath, "Goddess. You hit her?"

I closed my eyes in shame, "I did. Her brother killed..."

She raised her palm to stop me from speaking, "So you thought that’s okay to hit her? Like father, like son," she said with a smirk, and kept her eyes closed.

I felt like she had just slapped me. Lilith knew my parents and rarely talked about them, but today she didn’t hold back.

"She’s scared of you, son."

That I knew very well, even if she wouldn’t tell me, "Can you feel her through your bond?"

She couldn’t see when I nodded, but she still hummed.

"What do you feel, Lucien?"

"Fear..." I said after a moment’s hesitation, "Betrayal. Pain. Nothing good."

"Yeah. Nothing good," she agreed with me as she kept her eyes closed, "Did you ask her anything? Like about her past..."

I pursed my lips before shaking my head, "No. I never got a chance. She saved Zara and was admitted to the hospital."

"Did you send someone to her pack?"

"I did. But either she is very good at lying, or her pack members are world-class bastards."

She opened her eyes with a smile, "Son. You marked her. You can smell her fear and pain. Yet you can’t trust her. Stop playing games with her."

"Lilith..."

"You’re my king, and you deserve respect. But right now, you’re acting more like a... please excuse my language... but you’re being an asshole."

Zorro got furious, but he controlled himself. We couldn’t afford to kill a witch who knew me since I was a baby.

"Now that you have marked her as your mate. Chances are, she might get her wolf as well. We need to be very patient."

"Just because I marked her, that means..."

"No, Lucien," she raised her index finger, "A powerful Lycan marked her. It will take some time, but she will be as powerful as you. Moon Goddess chose her for you for a reason."

I remained quiet, trying to digest whatever she was telling me.

"When to expect these changes? A few days? Weeks? Months?" I clicked my tongue inside my cheek with a raised eyebrow.

"I don’t know why she hasn’t started speaking. But you’ll notice a change in her attitude. She won’t be the quiet little thing you know now."

I frowned, remembering her, happily eating those strawberry jam buns along with that mango shake.

"I haven’t noticed any such thing in her, Lil."
