Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: 58- Let Her Go!

Lucien Volkov:

"How is she?" I didn’t turn around when I heard Lilith’s gentle voice and just nodded my head.

She was out of danger; her wounds had healed. The silver was not enough to kill her but only enough to make her suffer.

Lilith came to stand beside me, her eyes resting on Arabella’s sleeping form. For a long moment we stood there in silence, then at last I decided to speak.

"Why did she do it?" I asked quietly, "She didn’t tell me about... this fight."

"Fight?" Lilith chuckled sarcastically, "Are you telling me that she allowed this attack?"

I, at last, removed my eyes from Arabella’s face and turned to look at Lilith, "When I left the palace, my heart wasn’t at ease. Zorro was restless. I felt something was wrong, and still I decided to leave her behind."

"Seems like a suicide!" Lilith shrugged, shaking her head.

"What did you say?" I held her shoulders but Lilith didn’t back off.

"We both don’t know what is going on inside her head. But you need to make her trust you, silly. She might not be happy here."

Arabella wasn’t happy? But why? Now she was living in my room, safe from all the abuse. Away from my family.

"This means you’ll take back your mark?" The way she had excitedly asked me over dinner and then the hope in her hazel eyes died as soon as I said no.

"You still haven’t earned her trust, Lucien. Did you notice the sky this morning?" Lilith asked me, "Her injuries were meant to reach your eyes, Lucien. You need to do something, or she will slip off your grip."

Slip off my grip? A chill ran down my back.

If the sun didn’t rise this morning, did that have something to do with Arabella?

Just like that night, a star had guided me straight to her.

My thoughts were interrupted when I felt mate bond stir. My heartbeat picked up.

"She’s waking up," I whispered and saw her fluttering eyelashes. After stepping closer, I gently brushed a loose strand of her hair away from her face. Then I leaned down and pressed a light kiss against her forehead.

"I’ll be back," I turned to look at Lilith, "Can you stay with her?"

She nodded at me, "Sure. Where are you going?"

I gave her a faint smile, "Just need to settle a score."

***

By the time I reached the training grounds, I had already made up my mind.

Mother and Aliya were standing there, and Jasmine was telling them something with suppressed excitement. When she finished speaking, they laughed. However, when they noticed me, their smiles disappeared.

"I asked you first, Head Warrior. Or have you forgotten how I hate a question in answer to my question?"
