Bound To The Lycan King

Chapter5

Calantha's hands found their way to her head as she opened her eyes slowly, she was now in the chamber.

“My lady, are you okay?” Raulina asked, worry laced in her voice.

“Do I look okay?” Calantha snapped as she sat up. “What about the slave?”

“She is in her room.”

Calantha's eyes widened. “She was unharmed, not even a sign of fainting?”

“She lost consciousness immediately she came out of the King's room, but she is awake now” Raulina explained.

“So soon? For how long was I out?”

“Eight hours.”

“Make her room closer to mine, she would be my personal maid from now” Calantha ordered.

Raulina who looked so shocked, nodded slowly in response, exiting the room to do as she was told.

An evil smirk plays on Calantha's lips. “You would regret ever stepping foot here, I would make you pay.”

Kaiden opened his eyes slowly, he was no longer in his half shift, he was back to his normal self. That was faster than usual, normally his rut lasts for at least three days, but this time around it ended in just one night. Was he getting better? No, he was not going to give himself false hope.

This was all her fault, his Luna. She is doing a great job staying hidden, she should just pray he doesn't get a whiff of her smell, once he finds her, he is never letting her out of sight. He needs her to appear as soon as possible, she is the only one who would be able to handle his rut, and stop the constant loss of life of the slaves sent in to please him.

A short sigh escaped his lips at the thought of the people who had died because of him. How many did he kill this time? Three? Five? What he hates so much about his rut is he doesn't remember anything once it's over.

“Kaiden, you are back” Connor exclaimed as he made his way in.

Kaiden frowned. “When would you ever learn to knock?”

“I may be your Beta, but I am also your best friend” Connor said, settling on one of the chairs in the room. “Your rut is shorter than usual.”

“I know, right. Maybe because the full moon is drawing close” Kaiden said with a shrug.

Connor sighs. “It's usually ugly during the full moon for you. The pains you experience during that time is so disheartening.”

“That's because, the wolf would fight for dominance over the mountain cougar who is much more powerful on a normal day” Kaiden replied. “You would chain me up before evening like we always do.”

“When would all this stop?”

“We have no choice since my mate is yet to show up.” “Let's make use of this time to work on pending issues before the full moon.”

Aurora gasped as she tried to sit up, her all body ached, the Lycan King took her until she could barely feel her body.

“You kept on moaning for more, serves you right” Aurora heard a voice say.

She looked around, and saw no one. “Are you my wolf?” she asked lowly, but got no reply. I must have heard wrong, the voice didn't come for within, it came from outside, Aurora thought trying to put the pieces together, but it didn't make sense.

A knock came at the door, Aurora stood up, and opened the door to Raulina.

“Follow me” she ordered. “You are now Lady Calantha's personal maid.”

“Calantha? Who is that?”

“If you want to live long, learn to address those ahead of you with their appropriate title. And, by the way, she is the King's fiancée.”

Aurora nodded in response as she was led to Lady Calantha's chamber.

“Go in” Raulina nudged. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door announcing her presence before step in. She came face to face with a beautiful lady who was being undressed by two maids, she is probably getting ready to take a bath.

“Am I invisible? Can't you acknowledge my presence?” Calantha screamed in rage from where she was standing.

Aurora bowed her head immediately. “I am sorry, ma'am.”

“Ma'am? Do I look like some sort of old rag? Come closer.”

Aurora dragged her feet to where Calantha stood. “I am here…” Aurora trailed off as she felt a sting in her cheek, Calantha had slapped her hard across the face, even her clips got busted in the process.

“I am your Lady, you would reference me, you would worship the ground I step on” Calantha spat out. “These two would be helping me wash up, while you choose my outfit for the day.”

“She is mean” Aurora muttered as she watched Calantha walk into the bathroom.

Calantha on the other hand had a dissatisfied expression playing on her lips. How could a slave be that good-looking? Calantha thought bitterly. She better get ready for what I have in stock for her.

Later in the day.

Aurora laid on her bed, counting the ceilings. She missed reading, if only she knew the library here, she would have gone over to get some books. She was still lost in her thoughts when her door jerked open, and armed men rushed in.

“What… What is going on here?” Aurora questioned, her voice breaking at the edge.

“Search her room” a loud voice boomed for the doorway, it was Calantha.

“My Lady. What is going on?”

“I am searching for my crystal hair clip, it was specially given to me by the Alpha King” Calantha said with a hint of pride.

Aurora brows furrowed, confused. “What has that got to do with me?”

“Apart from myself, and my other personal maids. No one came into my room, I already searched their rooms, and it wasn't found, leaving me with yours left…”

“Is this it?” one of the guards asked, raising something in the air.

Calantha hands flew to her mouth. “That's it.”

“I just moved in here today, it is unclear to me why it is here” Aurora immediately said in defense, but a slap was what followed.

“Shut up, you thief. Throw her in the east-west dark cell.”
