Found by the Lycan King

Zenovia

After much coaxing and convincing from me to both Sid and Drusilla, we went our separate ways.

We were an unusual team, but I knew Sid needed my help in running our pack, so at least he would not ditch me. Plus, he had no face to show to Callahan and tell him anything about my plan, because Callahan would tear his throat the moment he saw him again.

Drusilla, on the other hand, was a little concerning for me. I hoped she would remember everything I told her, my reassurances, and not go blurting out everything to Callahan.

I was going to tell him everything myself, just after I had the things needed to perform the plan.

The drive home was short because I drove like a madman. I had only said I would step out for a few hours, but the day had flown away with me doing loads of planning, all behind his back.

I sincerely hoped he would not hold it against me. I was just trying to help him.

I reached the gate of the mansion and quickly parked in the garage.

There was no sign of Callahan, so I wanted to quickly tiptoe my way toward my room and pretend I was asleep.

So I parked my car as quietly as possible. Just as I was closing the car door, I felt two hands enveloping me from behind. My initial instinct was to tense up, but as I recognized the touch, my body relaxed instantly. It was Callahan, the man I couldn’t resist.

I instantly melted into the embrace of the man I could not get enough of. His warm, protective embrace made my body shiver pleasantly as he buried his face in the crook of my neck.

“Where do you think you were going?” He asked, his breath fanning my

ear.

“I thought it was not a good idea to disturb you so I wanted to just go to my room and sleep.”

His lips opened to kiss my ear as he whispered.

“God, I missed you”

And my body leaned back into his embrace, giving him more access.

“Did you just use the word God?” I teased and he took a pause.

Oops.

I should not have tried to be cheeky. I felt him stiffen a little but then I squeezed his hand with mine and spoke.

“Hey, I was just joking. No need to feel bad.” I murmured as I felt his grip on me tighten.

“Who can feel bad when he has you in his embrace?” Callahan teased, and his lips suckled at my ear.

“I did not know I was so charming,” I giggled as he turned me around to make me face him.

He looked tired and a little exhausted. His hair was disheveled, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and some stains of ink and coffee.

He had had a busy day at work.

“I know the answer to that, so all is good. Though, what took you so long?” He asked, pushing a lock of hair behind my ear.

I tried to not let my expression falter.

“There was just so much to look through and explore. I wanted to buy the entire mall.”

I answered, and he replied without missing a beat.

“Then you should have.”

“And be arrested for shoplifting? No, thanks.”

I answered as I opened the door and grabbed the stuff lying on the passenger seat.

“See, I bought so much stuff for myself.”

Callahan too smiled, and we began climbing the stairs.

“I just got worried because this was the first time you were away from home for so long. I was a little nervous.”

“But see, I am fine,” I answered, twirling in front of him to show how I was unharmed and returned in one piece.

“Yeah, I see that. But did you get to know the answer to the question you had in your mind?”

He asked hopefully.

I threw him a clueless look.

“Eh….”

He shook his head. “Don’t tell me you forgot about it.”

I actually could not remember what he was referring to. I fumbled and thought of how to respond, but he just lightly tapped my forehead.

“You were going to find out if you could sense my emotions from a distance….like how far can you be from me without having no connection.”

He supplied, and I felt like the biggest fool in the world.

“I…I am really sorry. I did not actively focus on it, but I did not feel anything off about our connection either. So it meant that it works for whatever distance the city is from here, right?”

I asked hopefully.

was making me guilty to lie to him plus forget such an important task.

“Maybe” He shrugged.

I expected him to be a little angry or sad at me, but he wasn’t even ta to me. My gaze drifted to his face, and I saw the look on his face.

He appeared to be deep in thought about something.

We climbed the rest of the stairs in silence before reaching the door to my room.

“I just wanted to take a break and wandered outside the office for a while. Now, I saw you so I feel a lot better.”

Callahan said, cupping my face.

I grasped his hand, caressing my cheek as he leaned forward to press a kiss on my forehead.

“You don’t have to worry about me so much, Callahan. I will go out a lot more and try to do something productive with my time. So, you have to get used to me not being around.”

He held my face in his hands and sighed.

“Don’t say that. Seeing your face after a tiring day at work is like a treat. I would want to have you around.”

My insides felt as if they were being squeezed. He was being so sweet and expressive.

I kissed the palm of his hand, which was cupping my face, and replied, “Then you have to involve me in everything you do. If you don’t, I will get bored sitting in my room and run outside to empty your wallet.”

Callahan chuckled, “Better than seeing you hurt”

But I shook my head. “You can understand how much I hate doing nothing. Please, let me. You agreed to me taking more responsibility earlier before stalking away.”

I frowned.

It was a good thing that he was not angry with me for tricking him into agreeing to my mission of taking charge of the Rogue King search. He had just stormed away from the meeting room and left me staring at his retreating figure.

If anything, I thought he would just not talk to me or avoid me. B1 he opposite happened.

He came to greet me the moment I reached home.

It was getting harder and harder to not feel guilty about the things hiding from him. I only hoped that Drusilla and Sid would help me come up with a solid and foolproof plan of infiltrating the Rogue King pack.

“It is late now. Go to sleep, we will talk later,” He said, but I insisted.

“I don’t like seeing you work all by yourself. I want to be of help. Please, can I know what is bothering you?”

I looked hopefully into his eyes.

“Please…” I begged, grabbing the fabric of his shirt in a fist and

mistakenly pulling him a little closer.

He smiled and replied, “Now if you beg like this, it will be

for me to say no.

There was a subtle shift in the way his voice sounded and the golden color of his eyes shone brightly, as if a gust of wind would flare up a dying flame and bring it back to life.

“I…could you know…beg more if you just let me have what I want?”

His eyes darkened, and I felt the heat simmering inside them. My room was barely a few footsteps away and we could easily go inside and just start what I had hinted at.

My heart wanted to do that, my wolf wanted to do that. But, to get my plan in action, I had to be more involved in work or he would never consider me capable enough to infiltrate the Rogue pack alone.

So, despite my wolf’s and body’s demands, I ignored the urge to kiss those lips hovering just a hair’s breadth away from mine and added,

“I am just as good at work as I am at begging you. Let me show you how.”

Callahan’s eyes flared at my words and he had opened his mouth, but I swiftly turned us both in the direction of his office and he let me as we walked through the stairs.

We had barely crossed a few feet when somebody called out to him.

“King Callahan, I have news for you.”
