Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 55

Callahan was staring daggers at Sid, who was twitching uncontrollably on the floor. This was the same person I had stayed with in a family, the same person who had told my father how I was the one to have made sexual advances on him….and the same person who just a few minutes ago was professing his love..or rather lust for me.

I pulled the coat even closer to myself as Sid began trying to answer Callahan’s questions.

“The the rogues. they asked me to…they wanted to it was them” Sid tried to speak but words would not come out because he was shaking in fear.

“What rogues? What do they want from Zenovia?” The Lycan King thundered and Sid slowly took a peek from his hands, afraid that a punch would hit him square in the nose.

When Callahan did not throw a punch immediately, Sid lowered his hand.

“The…the rogue King, there are rumors of a rogue King who wants to take you down, K-King”

Callahan smirked. “Take me down?”

The sheer tone with which he uttered that question spoke volumes about his self-confidence. He could not believe someone could try that and found it absurd.

Was he proud of himself and his strength? Yes.

But was he an arrogant prick? Not really.

Well, I could say that the answer could switch to a “maybe” when I recalled the cold shoulder he had been giving me lately.

Sid nodded his head, “Y-yes, my King II was merely working on orders because I know Zenovia and she lived with my family.”

Callahan grabbed Sid’s collar and pulled him up as Sid let out a muffled scream because Callahan’s eyes were boring down into his own.

“You take orders from me, not from anybody else. Are you forgetting who rules this place?”

Sid kept shaking and trembling while trying to form a coherent response. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I am s-sorry, King”

The King could have killed him in an instant, but something about the rogue King made him control his rage.

“Who is he?”

Sid was trembling like a leaf caught in a storm, shaking from head to toe.

“I do not know the name yet, my King. I have not seen him or met him directly. I simply received a message from someone one day.”

“What message?” Callahan’s tone was sharp, and it made even me flinch, though it was not directed at me.

“L..there were just proofs of money I had used on myself, partying and such from the pack’s treasury in the last week. The message asked me to do the task or forward those proofs to father.”

Callahan raised an eyebrow

“How much amount was it? I don’t believe you fell for someone’s trap just for the sake of a few dollars.”

But I knew Sid and his extravagant habits. It would definitely not be just a few dollars.

“I don’t like to ask the same question twice,” Callahan growled and Sid answered, “F-five!”

“Five thousand dollars? That’s it?”

“Five million,” I blurted out, and I was proven correct by the silence as Sid did not look up.

“Five million? You spent five million in a week?”

Sid tried to reason. “I…well, I am the future alpha of the pack and it was my friends who forced me.”

Callahan could only shake his head. “The more 1 hear you, the more I see a case of a pampered, spoiled child not a fearsome monster. You are pathetic.”

Callahan let go of Sid’s collar and ran a hand through his hair.

“So somebody blackmailed you and you were ordered to bring Zenovia here?”

“Y-yes. But I knew she would never willingly come here to meet me.”

10:54

Callahan finished the line for him, “…so you decided to hire a cheap sales guy to do your bidding”

Sid raised his hands and put them together as if he was praying to the moon Goddess.

“I was afraid my family would get hurt, King.”

Callahan thundered, “Wasn’t Zenovia your family? Is she not your sister?”

And at that line, I looked up at him.

Sid had just now said that he wanted to take advantage of me. He would never agree to call me sister.

I could feel it in my gut that he would dodge the question.

Sid stayed silent as Callahan raised his hands and slapped him hard when there was no response.

And I was not sure if I should have felt happy that I was correct or horrified that my spineless stepbrother did not look at me like a sister.

I pulled the coat closer to my body and watched their exchange.

I had been sitting on the couch, rubbing my hands together as I tried to process just what had occurred in the last two hours.

I had almost been sold and taken advantage of by two different men, one I had recently met and one I had looked at as a brother all my life.

Unexpectedly, the one my family had sold me to, the one who was called a monster and was the one who should have taken” advantage of me, forced himself upon me the moment he set eyes on me… that man had turned into my savior.

I did not know whether to laugh or cry at my current situation.

Sid stole a glance at me and Callahan slapped him, “Look at mel!”

Sid was almost on the verge of tears as he answered, “she, we are step siblings, we are not biologically related.”

Callahan grit his teeth and his nails dug into the collar of Sid’s shirt, making his neck bol up and down limply.

“Siblings, that is what you are,” He corrected and Sid did not dare to voice out any objection if he had.

In my opinion, I did not want him as a brother or anything. Sid was a stranger to me, just like Luna Celeste and my father, both of who had abandoned me.

I had no family, no loved ones anymore,

The injection had fallen from Sid’s hand at one point and Callahan slowly got up from the floor and walked towards the injection.

Sid began to crouch away, using his hands and legs to push himself back until his back hit the cold glass wall.

“Now listen to me, you little rat. I would have killed you, but you are no use to me dead. Now, you are going to turn into my informant and find out what the rogue King wants from me, from Zenovia and inform me. If you fail to do so. Lain going to inject you with medicines that would amplify the pain instead of dulling you to sleep so that even a gentle breeze brushing your hand would feel like a knife slicing through your skin.”

Sid had begun to cry and had joined his hands together.

“I am sorry, my King. Please have mercy on me. B-but the rogue King is dangerous. He will kill me if I don’t show up with Zenovia.”

Callahan twirled the injection in his hand. “You better fear me, and what would I do to you if you don’t obey? And this rogue King of yours, he is a werewolf, a puny little dog in front of me. Do you really think you have any chances of betraying me?”

Sid had broken out into a sweat and was cowering while pleading for mercy.

“N-no my King. II understand b-but please…please don’t hurt me”

“I will hurt you in ways you cannot even imagine if you even think of Zenovia again. Is that understood?”
