The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 72

Genevevies’ POV

“If you have abilities, why didn’t you try to get away from the man that took you?” She asked.

“He killed my parents and I was afraid he would kill me. I never forgot who I was, but he made me feel so little. I did not fight after a while. But what I didn’t realize is he was poisoning me. Keeping me weak so I wasn’t able to fight. I fought a few times, but I lost every time. When he finally eased up on poisoning me was when it was time for my first shift. He thought I would be a small, weak wolf. But instead, he met my deadly lycan.” I said. She gave me a big smile, a smile I didn’t know she could even have.

“I bet he was terrified.” She said.

“He looked like he was about to p*ss himself.” I laughed. My laugh came to an abrupt stop when her master walks back into the room.

“Master,” Lanie said from the cage. He placed something on a table in the middle of the room and walked to her cage.

“Go bathe. You smell horrible. We are going to have a guest here soon. You will prepare dinner for him.” Her master growled.

“Yes, master.” She says. She looks to the floor as he removes her collar.

“You have 5 minutes. Hurry.” He said. She ran into the other room and we followed.

We waited as she wiped herself off and soak her hair in a bucket of water and scrubbed. After a couple of minutes, she was done and dressed in a semi-clean short dress her master made her wear all the time.

She went to the kitchen and got to cleaning while other slaves prepared the table.

“I’m hungry. Lanie my dear, come here.” I watch as Lanie walks to him and sits on his lap.

“Good girl.” He said. He moved her hair over her shoulder and pushed her head over. His eyes went black as the hunger took over and he latched himself onto her, drinking the b***d from her artery. She didn’t even flinch or make a noise, she just sat there and took it.

Her master was still feeding when there was a knock on the door and the slave by the front door opened it.

“Our guest.” The slave announces as he holds the door open wide for the guest to walk in.

“Friend.” I hear that same voice I heard for 10 years straight and my heart started racing. In walks alpha Jaden. Just as cruel-looking as ever.

“Alpha. To what do I owe this pleasure?” Her master said as he pulled away from her neck.

“I need a favor. Can I speak with you in private?” Jaden asks as he walked into the room.

“My slaves will tell no one. Speak freely.” Her master says.

“Gregory, I need somewhere to lay low. I’m being hunted and you owe me. I figured I’d come here for shelter until I can take back my pack.” Jaden said. Take back his pack? No. I will never let that happen. Rage fills me and all of a sudden I’m burning. Like I’m on fire and all I need is to explode and set him on fire and end him.

“Are you okay?” Lanie asked me.

“I’m fine. It’s just difficult seeing him again.”

“He can’t hurt you here. Don’t fear him.” She said. She grabbed my hand and I felt the rage start to leave my body.

“Yes, I know that. And I also know there’s a heavy price on your head. What makes you think I won’t turn you in and collect? Better yet, I could bring them your head?” Gregory says.

“You owe me. And do you realize who you’d be turning me in to? They know something. They’re already suspicious of me, what’s keeping me from telling them you’re also involved in destroying the Allaire bloodline. And you know your vampire king will not be pleased that you had a part in killing the only heirs of King Viktor, queen April, the tribrid, and their special daughter.” Jaden snapped. What? Mom was the vampire king’s daughter?

“I don’t remember this,” Lanie says.

Gregory’s head snaps up and he speaks loud, his voice sending shivers down my back.

“You watch it dog. I will make you play fetch with your heart.” He growls. He turns to Lanie and places his hands on both sides of her head.

“Forget what was just said.” He said.

“I’ll forget what was just said.” She said in a monotone voice. Then she shook her head and continue sitting there in silence.

“What did he just do?” I asked Lanie.

“He called it a compulsion. Every vampire has it. Basically, they look you in your eyes and tell you what to do, and you can’t fight it. You just have to do it.” She said shrugging her shoulders.

“I’m surprised he didn’t compel me to never run. I just didn’t ever give him a reason to I guess.” She continues.

“Fine. You can stay. And I guess since you’re my guest it would be the nice thing to do to give you entertainment while you’re here. Here. Take Lanie. Do whatever, just don’t kill her. I waited years to buy her, so if you kill her the deal is off.” Gregory said as he pushed Lanie off of him.

Jaden walked up to her and looked her over. He grabbed her hair and held it in his hands.

“Do you have any black-haired slaves? Long black hair to be precise.” Jaden asks, dropping her hair and turning to Gregory.

“I don’t,” Gregory says.

“Fine, I will go find someone. She can watch.” He said pointing to Lanie. Her eyes widened and she gulped, but she nodded anyway.

We skipped through some memories of Jaden forcing her to watch him, torture girls, to the moment she runs away.

I take in all of her surroundings, noting which direction she’s running from. When I finally feel confident in knowing the location, I drop my gift and I’m back on the swing with Lanie.

I look around and it’s still light outside.

“Connor, how long have we been sitting here?” I mind linked him. His eyes widened as he realized it was me that just spoke.

“How are you mind linking me?” He asks.

“My gift, catch up. Anyways, how long have we been sitting here?” I ask again.

“About 10 minutes, why?” He asks.

“Just curious,” I say. I close the mind link and open one with Hunter.

“I got it.”
