Unwanted Mate Of The Lycan Kings
Chapter 43

He takes his seat behind the huge wooden desk and opens up another device. Turning back to theroom, I replace Zeke and Lyon both watching me.

“Don’t be scared, Human. I can be nice! It's a struggle, but for my dear brother, I can endure yourpresence without killing you,” Zeke taunts, yet his words set me more on edge. I move to the stoolnear the bookshelves in the far corner of the room and away from them.

I have just sat down when I hear the door push open to the balcony and Shadow rushes inside; hesniffs the air, head turning in each direction when he spots me sitting on the stool with Gnash at myfeet. His tail wags excitedly and he bounds into the room. A smile splits onto my face, seeing hisexcitement, and I pat my leg for him to come to me.

"Shadow, here now.” Lyon snaps at his wolf and Shadow pauses mid-step. The wolf whines, glancingbetween me and his master before his shoulders drop.

"Well, what did you expect out of escaping and hiding from him in her room, Shadow?" Zeke scoldsLyon's wolf. My brows furrow and my eyes go to Lyon to see if he would tell him he let me haveShadow for the night, but he says nothing, only growls when Shadow doesn’t immediately go tohim.

“It's okay, Shadow, go to Lyon,” I tell him, not wanting him to get in trouble for coming to me andignoring his master, which I could tell he was about to do.

“Really Lyon, you need to learn to control him better.”

“What should I control him the same as you by putting a spiked choker on him?” Lyon snaps and myeyes go to Hunter. I swallow, only now noticing the spikes inside the collar. Now it is loose since theleash is slack.

"Well, you don't see Hunter playing up now, do you?" Zeke retorts and Lyon shakes his head.

For the entire movie, Regan ignores me and doesn't come out of his office. Instead, he leaves me tobe watched by his brothers. Until he receives a call that has even his brothers casting glances at hisoffice from his yelling. Noticing us looking in, he slams the door shut.

My ass hurts from sitting on the stool. I am bored out of my mind when the door opens and themaid from earlier rushes in with a trolley with trays of food. She busily sets one on the table forZeke and takes the other off when she notices me. She looks between Lyon and me when Zekespeaks.

"She can only eat whatever Regan orders for her, it's Lyon's.” She chews her lip, pausing before shespeaks.

“But my King, Regan, rarely eats lunch. I only brought up a wolfsbane shake. He didn't orderanything?”

“Well, then I guess you better get another wolfsbane shake for her then,” he tells her. Isn'twolfsbane poisonous to Lycans? It seems like an odd thing to drink; to order a poison for lunch?“But my King, she needs to eat?”

“That is not up to me. Maybe ask Regan what he wants to feed her?” Zeke says, turning his attentionback to the TV. She gives the tray to Lyon and moves back to the tray yet her aura told me shewasn't looking forward to going into Regan's office, it changes and flickers around her, and fearflickers through it, anxiety making her steps falter, watching her she hesitates in the doorway, and Iwould too, he's done nothing but yell at people on the phone the entire time she has been in theroom. I watch her shoulders drop as she hesitantly knocks. The sound is barely audible from where Isit. She is greeted with a growl and the door is ripped open

"What?" He yells at the girl, who jumps, her hands shaking as she offers the shake to him. Hesnatches it and before she even has a chance to speak, he slams the door in her face. Zeke laughsand returns to his lunch while Lyon hasn't even touched his food; he just stares off at the TV, hishand patting Shadow.

The girl then turns, her blue eyes moving to me. Her lips part and she looks at Lyon, but he isn'tlooking at her before her eyes move to Zeke. “Maybe I can-" I hold up a hand to grab her attentionand shake my head.

“It's fine... I'm not hungry.” I lie and she glances nervously at the two Kings.

"Give her a wolfsbane shake. I'm sure she'll love it.” Zeke mocks. I glare at him and she stands there,looking unsure of what to do. I don’t blame her because werewolves and Lycans aren't the onlyspecies that have horrid adverse reactions to wolfsbane/monkshood. It is poisonous to humans too.But being human, I don't have supernatural healing abilities as they do, yes Wolfsbane can kill them,but it would take copious amounts to do so. So drinking it could very well kill me, too

“Truly, I'm fine,” I tell her and she nods, looking relieved I would not ask her to risk her life byknocking on Regan's office door again. She brushes her blonde hair behind her ears and movestoward her tray, her blue eyes glancing at the tray.

“I have water?” she offers, grabbing the small bottle. I smile and move to take it and thank her whenZeke speaks out.

"Did Regan approve it?" Zeke asks, looking at me, and I press my lips in a line.

“My King, it is my personal bottle. She can have it.” The girl states.

“Did Regan approve it?" He says slowly, emphasizing each word. The girl gulps when he turns histhreatening gaze on her.

“It's fine. Don't worry about it.” I tell her, giving her a smile, not wanting to get her in trouble."But—" Zeke growls and moves to get off the lounge.

“Are you fucking deaf?” He booms and she flinches. My eyes widen when he stalks toward her and Irush to my feet, getting between her and him.

"She's leaving, Zeke. Lay off her. She's just doing her damn job!” I snap at him. His eyes flash in hisanger and I notice Lyon stand up out of the corner of my eye.

"Amy, can you tell the kitchen that dinner will be early tonight, preferably six?" Lyon tells her whileZeke glares at her behind me.

“Yes, my King,” she whispers, grabbing her trolley. I turn to look at her, then quickly move to openthe door for her and she rushes out. When I move to close the door, she stops turning to look at mebefore mouthing. “Thank you.” I nod to her, feeling terrible she got in trouble because of me, and Ihope Zeke doesn't seek her out later.

Shutting the door, Zeke grabs me. He slams my back against the door and my head hits the framewith a thud. Instantly, all three of their wolves get to their feet, growling and snarling. Gnash stalkstowards him, teeth bared and eyes trained on him. Lyon has Shadow by the scruff of his neck.

"You ever get in my fucking way again and you'll beg for me to fucking kill you. Are we clear?” Hethreatens. I suddenly wish I could manipulate fire so I could incinerate his ass. Never in my life have Ifelt hatred more than I do for this man.

"Are we clear?” Zeke yells in my face and Gnash barks at him in a warning.

“Yes!” I snap at him and he shoves off me, returning to his chair. Zeke falls into his chair and Gnashrushes over while I try to calm my racing heart. Looking at Lyon, he sits back down as if nothinghappened.

Gnash grabs my dress, leading me back to the stool, but I decide I can't sit there any longer and I'msure my tailbone is already bruised. So, I move to the cushioned area by the far window and laydown amongst the cushions with Gnash.

Ignoring the Kings, I rest my head once Gnash settles and finally closes his eyes; I close mine, lettingmyself doze off. However, when I wake it is to someone cursing. My eyes open instantly to replace it isnow dark and Gnash yawns beside me. Zeke and Lyon are both gone and Regan looks very out of it,lost even when I sit up to see him stumbling out of his office, staggering before he shakes his headlike he too has only just woken up.

Getting up, he clutches his head and I move toward him, knowing it must be dinner time, howeverthe moment I come back up behind him; a threatening growl leaves him and he spins around. Hislong fingers wrap around my throat, cutting off the gasp that tried to escape my lips, and I'mslammed against the door. My feet dangle in the air when I'm brought face to face with the LycanKing.
