The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 65

Lanies POV

I ran as fast as I could up the stairs and into my room before he could completely shift. He was screaming and his bones were snapping. He was fighting it but it was no use. I have no idea why he reacted that way.

Stepping away from the door and slowly making my way across the room, I hear a monstrous growl and a loud crashing noise down the hallway. I sit beside my bed on the floor trying to hold my breath, trying to just get a good listen. I hear him getting closer, and as he does my heartbeat quickens and thuds louder in my ears.

I couldn’t hold in the whimper as there was a sudden silence, but I could feel him near the door.

“Mathew no! Stop. Shift back.” The king commands him. I hear him whimpering, trying to fight the command, but his anger was too much. He growled and then I heard the door crash to the floor.

I shoot up off the ground, my face soaked in tears and fear filling up my throat, making it almost impossible to breathe.

“Pl-please. D-don’t.. don’t h-hurt me.” I whimpered so quietly that I almost thought they couldn’t hear me.

This huge Lycan lunged at me and snarled. I fell to the floor as his humongous furry body stood over me, sharp teeth are the only thing I can even focus on at this moment.

He leans into me and I see his claws coming towards my throat and a cry escapes my lips. This is it. He’s going to kill me. At least I got to be free before I died.

I feel his claws tighten around the sides of my collar and a yank in opposing directions and I hear a clink of metal. He threw the collar to the floor and got closer to my face. He lets out a loud growl when I hear a scuffle on the other side of the room.

I look over and see her, Jess I believe that is what they said. She looks at Mathew and scowls.

“Mathew. Stop. You’re scaring her. Shift back.”

He turned to her and a thunderous growl roared from him. I looked away from her and back to him.

“Shift.” She commanded. I could feel the rush of her power and her status. Surely if I was able to shift I would have. Who is this girl?

He couldn’t even fight it for a second before he was completely transformed back. I look away from him quickly at the fact that he’s butt naked.

“I’m sorry. Robin wouldn’t let me take back control. He wanted that collar off. She’s no longer a slave.” He said. He looked at me with apologizing eyes and walked right out of the room. He bared his neck to the king and he walked out of view.

“What the hell?” Hunter asked.

“We were talking about me being a slave. Then he got angry, and the room got hot and I could feel his anger as my own. Then he started shifting and told me to run.” I said. He shakes his head and looks at Jess.

“I’m glad your command works on him.” He says. She gives him a smile and nods.

“We will leave you to get some rest. Tomorrow you can fill us in on what you know. This is your room until you’re ready to move to Mathe-“ the king cuts off when Jess elbows him in the stomach.

“Get some sleep. We’ll see you in the morning.” Jess said. She smiled at me and I gave her a nod.

“Goodnight. Thank you, guys.” I said.

“Not a problem,” Jess said. And with that, they shut the door and I was finally alone. I took the most amazing shower ever earlier, my master used to make me bathe with a rag and a bucket so this is heaven compared to that. So you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to take another shower, that’s what.

It honestly took me a bit to figure out the shower, but with the help of one of the servants named Riley, I got down the basics. I turned on the water and stepped in, feeling the heat wrap around me like a blanket. Soothing and just out of this world amazing.

After I washed I stepped out and wrapped the towel around me. I walked to the bathroom door and when I opened it I saw the face of a guilty man.

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” Mathew said. He’s sitting on my bed staring at me.

“It’s okay. I was scared, but honestly, I wasn’t at the same time. I don’t know why but that’s how I felt.” I said. I stood in the bathroom doorway awkwardly, uncertain of what to do. I’m standing here in a towel.

“Robin, my lycan.. he’s just very protective. Seeing that collar on you was making him so angry. You went through hell while we’ve been here doing nothing but being stupid.” He said.

“It’s not your fault, it’s not like you knew,” I said. I decided to use a tiny bit of courage and walk to him.

“I’m still sorry.” He says.

I reach my hand out to him out of nowhere and he looks at it like it’ll kill him.

“You don’t have to do all that.”

“I don’t know why I am but I am. So take it.” I said. He grabbed my hand and the minute we touched, electricity shot throughout my body. My heart raced in my chest and I felt a sense of love and belonging.

I looked at him in his eyes and for a second I forgot who I am. I forgot that I’m a slave. Used and fed on for 15 years. Just for a second, I felt normal.
