His Lost Lycan Luna by Jessica Hall Chapter 191

Book.2 Chapter 66

Kyson POV

Angry was an understatement. Azalea had just pulled rank over me. Well, not fechnically. I knew shedidn't command me. Despite that, the threat was the same. And for Ester and her son, it aggravatedme as I stormed off toward my office. I was sick and tired of coming second with her overeverything. Weeks! looked after her, and she stood up for the person responsible for putting her inthat state in the first place.

Damian was waiting in my office for me when I opened the door, looking over the paperwork at mydesk. He looks up at me as I step inside and shut the door behind me. He gives me a disapprovinglook as ! move toward my bar and pour myself a drink.

“What is that look for?” I asked him.

“Do you have to ask?” he says, leaning back in his chair. I pass him his drink, and he takes it, sippingit

“Azalea?” he asks, and I growl, my Lycan side pressing beneath my skin, and I only just shifted backon the walk here and didn't feel like having to tame my anger again.

“Don’t!” I warn him, and he clicks his tongue.

“Your anger and your drinking,” he holds his glass up. “Is getting the better of you!” he snaps at meas I take my seat. I sighed, and Damian got up from his seat before moving around the room andretrieving some pants from the closet behind the door. He tosses a black pair of shorts to me, and Isnatch them from the air before setting my glass of whiskey down on my desk.

"How did you go?”l ask him, pushing my chair out so I can pull them up my legs.

“I want to send someone to Crux. Maybe check out the brothels, and see if they can get any intel,”Damian says just as Liam wanders into the room as I am doing up the draw-string, and I slumpheavily in my chair.

“Ah, you should be with Azalea,” I tell Liam, and Liam shrugs.

“Well, I am here. And Trey is with her,” Liam answers nonchalantly before moving toward my bararea. Instead of grabbing a glass, he takes the entire bottle before walking over, topping up myglass, then tip ping the bottle to his lips.

“Saving that liver of yours, my King,” he says, sending me a wink. I pick up my glass and sip it,turning my attention back to Damian, who I had sent off to look into the council finances, and AlphaDean's and Al pha Brock’s pack finances while I was dealing with Ester and Peter.

“So you think they still have something to do with the missing children?” I ask, also agreeing. I havethought that for a while, all of us had suspicions about that pack. Yet we still had to prove ourtheories.

"Yes. Well, I don't believe Ester was going around killing children. But even after you commandedher the other day ...” Damian pauses.

“Half commanded her. I wouldn't call it a full command after what Gannon told me,” Liam chuckled,and we both looked at him.

"What? Gannon said she didn't even break out in a sweat. So I would hardly call that a command,”Liam says, making my brows pinch because he was right. She put up no fight at all to my persuasionwhen I questioned her.

"Hmm. Interesting,” I mutter.

“Interesting? I don't trust the bitch. Too much doesn’t add up.” Liam says, and he was right. We werebarely at the tip of the iceberg,

“What do you think of Trey?” I ask him.

“Ferret Face? I will admit I had him pegged wrong, but Ester..." He shakes his head.

“Too much makes little sense and can't be verified. And you saw how shocked Trey was to learn hehad a nephew. And about Marrissa,”

"Yes, I have to admit the whole Marrissa thing makes little sense to me. Why wouldn't she come forward? It makes no sense. Because if Peter was Landeena, she would have known we would haveprotected him. So why not tell us?” Damian says with a shrug. He had a point. Landeena’s holdimmunity, so who was she hiding him from?

“You think Ester is lying?” I ask them, and they both nod.

“Not completely, but I think a lot of it is half-truths. Marrissa worked here for a few years and triednothing against Claire. Marrissa started in the gardens here with Tanner before she moved towardthe cas tle, even so, she still had plenty of time to attack the kingdom. So why did it take her twoyears to do it, Kyson? That makes no sense to me.".

"Hmm, you're right. That sounds shady. Ensure someone is posted with Ester at all times. And Peter.I want them off castle grounds and under guard until this is figured out.”

"And what about Crux? Can I send a few men to check out these two places?” he picks up a piece ofpa per from the pile.

- “Deluxe night and the midnight tricks gentleman's club?” Liam plucks the paper from his fingers.“I volunteer myself, my King. I will test these girls out, don't you worry.” Liam states.

“Surveillance. Not a test run,” Damian scolds.

"Scratch and sniff. Taste and whiff. Whatever it is, I volunteer my time and pecker for the task,” Liamsays, and Damian shakes his head.

“The sacrifices I am willing to make for you, my King. I have this one handled. I will take Dustin and.." Liam ponders for a few minutes before his eyes fall on Damian.

“Damian! You can come. Boy's night and you may finally get laid. It might help with that stick youhave shoved up your ass. What do you say?” Liam says, nudging Damian, who growls.

“And exactly what is Dustin going to do at this brothel?” Damian demanded.

“The surveillance part while I test out the girls. Duh!” I give Damian a look, telling him that if Liam isgo ing, he must go to babysit. Liam might try to bring the girls home with him. Damian groans andscrubs a hand down his face.

“Fuck! Fine,” Damian says with a shake of his head.

“I best go replace me some going out clothes,” Liam says excitedly before chugging the bottle ofwhiskey. He burps loudly. “You'll have to drive though,” Liam tells him before holding up the bottle.“I have been drink ing. Don't tell the boss man,” he whispers, and I raise an eyebrow at him,considering the boss man was watching him down the boss man’s liquor.

"He is going to be the death of me,” Damian groans, and I laugh.

“That is Liam for you,” I tell him, and he nods.

"Yeah. If he wasn't trustworthy. I would have killed him myself,” Damian chuckles, getting to his feet.“I'll be back in three days then. Will you be alright here?” I wave him off, telling him to go. Damianneed ed a few days off, not that they would really be taking time off, but it would be good for himto get out of the castle. And Liam would force him to relax, which is why I didn’t protest himwanting to go.

“You need me, call and I will head back,” Damian tells me.

“I'll be fine. I just need to pull Azalea into line,”

“She isn't a pet, Kyson. And maybe if you treated her like your equal, she might actually listen toyou,”

“I do treat her equally!” I exclaimed.

“When it is convenient for you. I heard about Ester and Peter. Yes, they needed punishment, butdrag ging Azalea along and forcing her to watch? Who were you punishing, Kyson? Peter or her?Because it sounded like both.”

“She has to learn how things work. She needs to learn to lead,” I tell him.

"Yes, lead alongside you. And every time she tries, you shut her down or use her weakness againsther. Do you want her to learn to rule alongside you? Then show her how and stop forcing her. Shedid what any woman in her position would do. Any person who knows what that damn whip feelslike. Azalea knows that pain. Yet you took her along to watch?” Damian says incredulously with ashake of his head as he pulls his coat on.

“They needed to be punished, Damian,” I tell him, and he shakes his head.

“You're never going to learn, Kyson. You want her to respect you? Then respect her too! I am gettingsick and tired of... You know what?! If you want to help her while I am gone? Teach her how to un-command Dustin and Gannon so I can have a damn night off!” Damian snaps before turning on hisheel and walking out.

Thuff as the door clicks shut. Yet deep down, I knew he was right. I was, in a way, punishing Azaleafor not letting me kill them. I suddenly felt ashamed of my actions. Damian was right. My anger andjealousy were getting the better of me.
