The Lycan Series
Bullied By The Lycan King Chapter 75

Violet's POV

A frown also covered my face, and I snatched my hand out of his hold. I took a second to do a quick sweep of my system and aside from a few aches in my body -especially my head, I was fine.

"You look pale..." Monty added with his hands raised defensively.

I blinked suddenly feeling a wave of dizziness wash over me as soon as the comment left his lips, but i fisted my hands and pushed it off. I was surely only feeling that way because he mentioned that I didn't look good.

I was just stressed out with everything that was happening. Once I got a solution from my parents. The aches would stop, and I would feel just great.

"I am fine," I mumbled and turned away from him, this time he didn't stop me.

I jogged out of the main house and moved to the lower levels, where her office was.

The door was closed but from my position, I could already hear her voice as she yelled orders and curses to whomever was with her.

As I got to her door, I said a quick prayer to Heaven to allow, the conversation we were about to have to go well. Emily didn't like my parents, in fact, she had said it herself that if she had been the one to capture them, they wouldn't have remained alive for this long. Aside from that, she and I also didn't agree on a lot of things. There were times when I thought she hated me and times when she just remained indifferent. But today, I needed her to be on my side of the problem.

I finished saying my prayer and knocked on the door. Her voice stopped speaking and she mumbled something that I couldn't understand. Rather than wait out there for her, I pushed the door open and stepped in.

"Nathan let me call you back..." she hissed and ended the call.

She looked enraged. Her cheeks were red, and her ears seemed inflamed under the scorching sun even though she was indoors.

"What can I fucking do for you, Violet?" she said and motioning for me to take the seat in front of her.

I took the seat and just like Hilda, I decided to go straight to the point. With all the pain I could muster, I opened my mouth and said, "I am here because of my parents." A scowl morphed on her face and her eyes narrowed. "What about your fucking parents? Are they trying to do something stupid again?"

"No, they are not. I just... I thought that since they there were werewolves that did not like humans... it meant that they were endangered. So maybe we could move them from their current cell or give them a house arrest or something..." She nodded her head at my words and her hands moved to the table. "Okay, like some sort of political crime punishment of the old days where you keep like a f*****g president in a house filled with food and comfort. But they don't get to leave, ever... right? That's what you are saying right?" "Yes, it is. I would have wanted them to get a release, but I don't know if that will be possible...

>>

Her brows moved from their position and went higher almost reaching her hairline.

"Oh, you would have asked for their release?" she asked, and I agreed.

I was going to respond when she slapped her hands on the table with a force that sent my soul jumping out of my body.

"Are you fucking stupid?" she yelled. "No, you are fucking stupid. What should be asking is, do you have any brains at all? What the f**k is wrong with you girl? Just because Axel likes you, you think you can do whatever you want and ask whatever stupid request your tiny human head f*****g thinks of?"

Tears started falling out of my eyes and I shook my head, trying to dispute what she was saying. But she didn't stop. She caused and yelled till I was almost certain that she would personally call for their execution herself.

I had to put my pride in the bin and get down on my knees in front of her. As she saw me kneeling, she stopped cursing and glared at me.

"Emily, please... I know they are wrong. I know they are evil... but please, I can't just fold my hands and do nothing. I beg you," I cried with my hands joined and my eyes closed!

She didn't say anything, and I was certain that she would probably call the guards on me the next time she opened her mouth. I was beginning to come to terms with the fact that my parents were going to die in that dungeon. Slowly, I got on my feet, wiped my tears, and turned to leave. "I am sorry for bringing this to you.." I whispered and started heading to the door.

"Wait," she stated and for a second,

I thought I was imagining it until I turned and

met her eyes. The rage that was in them earlier was gone.

"There is one thing that can change everything right now. If your parents can give it to us, then I will convince Axel to give them the house arrest thing at least..." Hope surged in my dying heart, and I felt fresh blood pumping through me. "What is it? I promise I will make them say it. Please," I said.

She crossed her arms and looked straight at me. "Willow ran off. She has gone into hiding. If your parents can tell us where we can replace her, then your request will be granted."

I nodded immediately. It was a fair deal, and my parents should be able to come up with something.

"Thank you. Thank you so much..." I ran out of her office and made

my way to the dungeon.

I hadn't been there in days because I didn't have a solution but armed with this new option, I was confident that something would come out of this.

As I got to the entrance, the guard simply stepped aside and allowed me in without questions. I walked in with my head held high, expecting the prisoners to howl insults at me like they did the last time, but they completely ignored me. I couldn't tell if it was because of the guards that were present, or they simply hated me that much now.

I walked to my parents' cell, and I stood at the bars, hoping that they would at least come to me but just like the other prisoners, they ignored me too.

My heart squeezed but I refused to break down, not when I had a solution. "Dad, I have a way out of this place for you," I said.

He was standing by the wall at the far end of the cell with his eyes fixed on the small window above him, while my mother was on the bed, staring into nothingness.

They both ignored me, but I refused to give up. I summoned up more strength and I spoke with a louder voice.

"I have spoken to Axel, and he says that he will give you everything you want. But you will have to tell him where Willow is." Again, no one moved.

"Mom, I am being serious. He has promised to take you to a better location. In a warm house. There would be food and everything you need. I can come in and visit anytime... all you must do is to tell him where Willow went..." At this point, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore.

My throat felt bitter and my heart was starting to hurt too much. "Mommy please...

Dad... I have found a solution, please say something... do you know where she is?

Please tell me, so that Axel can take you out of here..."

My legs were starting to shake from the pain their rejection was causing me, and my insides were breaking. The pain in my head increased and it felt like I would pass out at any moment. "Mom, why are you doing this? I am only trying to perform my duty as a daughter. Please, say something... if you don't know where she is... we can replace her. I can go anywhere to search but please, say something... don't ignore me please...

My mother finally turned her eyes to me, and I felt a little portion of the pain I was feeling go away even if her eyes were cold and filled with anger. She got down from the bed and came to stand by the bars.

"So, you think a house arrest is what we deserve, you ungrateful little animal?" she hissed.

I shook my head to the side as fast as I could. "No, mom. I don't think you deserve it, but we can start from there... once you-"

"Shut it!" she yelled, her voice echoing into the walls of the cell. "I should have killed you that night... I shouldn't have taken you...
