Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: 64- Freya

Arabella Toussaint:

Oh, Goddess. What should I do?

Why was he behaving this way?

Should I stay or go ahead with my plan?

Guilt was slowly taking over my heart. He was still looking into my eyes, maybe trying to see through me, trying to read every thought I was hiding.

His thumb was brushing over the back of my hand as he kissed my forehead, "Lilith wants to examine you again," he gently tucked a loose hair strand behind my ear, "Last time she checked you, she felt a few knots in your stomach."

I was taken aback by the sudden change of topic. I knew Lilith was a witch, and she must have sensed that my pack Alpha bound me.

King Lucien might kill my family and me if he discovered we had been hiding things from him. I needed to buy some time and then go ahead with my escape.

Hell with the mate mark.

"Don’t look at me like that," he muttered and bent down to bump his nose lightly against mine, "You have no idea how hard I’m trying to control myself around you."

Heat rushed to my cheeks, "W...what?"

His eyes dipped down to my lips and lingered there for another heartbeat before taking half a step back, "Take your time, Princess. I’ll wait for you."

My heart skipped a beat. Somehow the guilt inside me hurt even more. I lowered my eyes, unable to meet his gaze.

He was willing to wait. Willing to fight his family for me.

Why?

I took a sigh of relief when his eyes glazed back. He was receiving a mindlink. The softness on his face disappeared as his brows drew together.

He looked at me before letting out a slow breath, "I need to go, sweetheart. My mother is rushed to the hospital."

"Oh," I gave him a tight-lipped smile.

"I’m sorry. Lilith has to examine you without me," He was already heading towards the door.

"Sure!"

I shrugged, not knowing if he even heard me. Honestly, I didn’t even care about that old hag. She deserved to die.

My eyes widened in shock.

Arabella! Your thoughts are getting darker day by day. Maybe your family was right to keep feeding you wolfsbane, you bitch.

***

I was on my way to the kitchen to see if Maya had sent me another message when someone called out from behind.

"Lady Arabella."

I wanted to laugh. I stopped and turned around. A frown settled on my face when I saw Jasmine standing a few steps away. She jogged toward me before stopping at some distance. For a moment, neither of us spoke.

Then she lowered her head and bit her lip, "I ..." She looked around as if she was having difficulty saying the words, "I’m here to apologize..." She swiped her tongue over her lips, "I’m sorry."

I blinked in surprise. Was she really...
