Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter
Chapter 87

Chapter 87I could only stare at Zenovia as she slowly opened the doors and took slow, deliberate steps insideI had momentarily lost the ability to speak as I let my eyes roam over her. Words were not enoughto describe how stunning and breathtaking she was lookingMy gaze slowly traveled up the sandals she was wearing, up the slit of her dress that stopped just ather mid thigh, tempting me to touch her, to feel that skin under my fingers.She was the very definition of beautiful and sexy. The dark blue gown she was wearing accentuatedher curves, fitting her like a glove as she walked in, looking at the huge crowd seated at the table.Her large eyes were darting around nervously, as if she was looking for something. And that wasgood because it allowed me to feast on the spectacle in front of me.All this time, I had simply seen her in simple dresses, pajamas, or gym wear. There was just onenight when she had worn a short dress and that night I had almost fucked her by the lake, not beingable to control myself.Since that day, I have been trying to put up a wall between us. Truth be told, the last few days hadbeen agonizing for me, especially after Drusilla suspected 1 had begun to look at my breeder in anew light.Hell, Zenovia was never meant to be a breeder.She was meant to be a queen and rule my heart, rule me.The slow tik tok of her heels echoed through the room as I simply gawked at her, unable to tear myeyes from her beautiful figureAnd either she was too naive to not know what she was doing or was an expert at charming. Theblue dress she was wearing caught light whenever she moved, and it twinkled in the light, shininglike a dusting of stars in the night sky.The dress did not have a deep neckline, but I did see the way she had filled up in the last month orso after the rigorous training and healthy food.God damn, she was a siren. A seductress,The dress clung to her like a second skin and my eyes gazed fondly at the neckline, letting me getjust a peek of her cleavage.I had to hold on to the armrest of the chair firmly so as to not just walk up and kiss those damn lipsof hers that were smiling nervously.Her gaze traveled through the entire room and settled on me.And I did not break eye contact. Beast let out a low growl when she blushed, a rosy tint appearingon her cheeks as she smiled shyly and looked down, fidgeting with her dress. Her shoulders werebare and her silky hair fell in waves upon hershoulders.It was too much to bear.“Mine,” Beast growled in my head and I could not replace a way to deny him.But then I heard another voice beside me, a breathless whisper."Woah" I turned to the side to see Elijah staring at her, unabashedly, if I might add.He got up from his seat and promptly went towards her."Hey Zenovia, come, He said and effortlessly held out a hand to her. She gave him a nervous smileand slipped her hand inhis.And a hot wave of jealousy crept up my heart when I saw that.I quickly tried to stomp over it and looked around to see that I was not the only one who had beenstaring like that at her. Almost everybody was looking at her with a tinge of desire shining in theireyes.I tried not to show how it affected me and got up from my seat, clearing my throat loudly.The others had been caught in a stupor and there had been a stunned silence all around us for afew minutes.The sound I made was enough to distract the others, all of whom blinked rapidly and then looked atme.Elijah was still holding Zenovia's hand as he guided her to an empty chair and helped her sit on it.Nobody except the ranked members of the packs were ever allowed a seat in the meeting of theleaders.But she was the first rankless girl to have been invited. And it would be rude and impolite to keepsuch a Goddess standing on her feet.1/322:16Chapter 87Elijah had opened his mouth to introduce her but one look at me told him to shut up.Good. I thought in satisfaction.Wait, was I getting jealous of my own gamma for being so easygoing and effortless with her? Hewas like that with everyone,so it was not his fault.And technically, I had asked him to pay attention to her but then I had made him leave to keep aneye on rogue activity.“Liar, yo didn't want him around her” Beast teased but I ignored him.Everybody's attention turned to me as I announced, “This is Zenovia Archer, the newest member ofmy pack.”The one sitting the closest to her spoke, “Greetings Ms. Zenovia, I am Alpha Jackson of the NewMoon pack.”Seeing him everybody else followed suit and promptly began to introduce themselves. I tried not toroll my eyes at them.Just a moment ago, all of them had been worried about the pack and rogue attacks and just thearrival of Zenovia had changed them into kicked puppies that needed attention.“That is what happens when you bring a young, and available lady to a testosterone deprived room”Beast whispered in myhead.“Available?” I asked him and he chuckled.“She does not have a mate yet, right?” I nodded grudgingly.The thought of her meeting her mate and slinking in the arms of any other male made me want tobreak something.What was this girl doing to me?And as if to prove Beast's point one of the beta sitting in the far corner asked, “Have you found amate yet, Miss Zenovia?”The question ignited a spark of curiosity amongst all the unmated alphas, betas, and gammas asthey subconsciously leaned forward, eager to hear her answer.My gaze flicked to Zenovia who gave a shy smile. She pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear andreplied,“N-not yet, Mr..."She began and he was prompt to supply, “Alpha Alex. I have the biggest pack in the east”However, his words were met with a grunt from the right.“No, yours is not the biggest pack. Not anymore after plenty of warriors died, and a few leftrecently”Alex glared at the man who had spoken, and I cleared my throat again“To make it clear. Zenovia belongs to me”At those words, everybody looked at me in confusion, even Matteo and Elijah.Not just them, but even Zenovia blinked and looked at me in surprise.“She was...offered to me as a gift by alpha Drake Archer of the nightfall pack. He, unfortunately,could not attend the meeting today.”Whispered conversations broke out between the men and Elijah could only shake his head when mygaze fell on him.“Is she your breeder, KingOne of them was prompt to ask, and I blurted out, “Yes” without thinking.And when my gaze fell on Zenovia, I saw the smile disappear from her face. To make matters worse,her face looked red again, but it was because of humiliation.I saw the way she was fighting back the tears that threatened to spill out of her eyes and in thatmoment I knew I had fucked

1. up.I wove a hand through my hair and announced, “The meeting is over. You all may leave now.”None of them needed further pushing as they got up from the chairs and hastily left.Zenovia too got up from the chair and was about to leave when I said, “Not you, Zenovia. We haveto talk.”
