Who Called Him??

“You said that you never liked me, and always liked Emily, but she wasn’t royal earlier, and that was why you couldn’t listen to your heart. Now…. she is a royal so you can be with her.” Pearl finished what Jonah said, and everyone gasped in shock.

“Don’…. Don’t try to distract us from the pressing matter that we have to face in a few minutes, Pearl. You always talked about righteous attitude but what you did by calling him is…. Is…. It really disappointed me,” Jonah put blame back on Pearl while tightening his grip on Emily’s waist.

“Mom…. Dad….. I … I don’t want to leave Jonah…. I… I can’t go with The Lycan King….. yo… you know about him…. He… he is cursed a… and he … he is very scary…. Mom… I am scared…. I am scared, Dad.” Emily continued her façade of being fragile and trembled hard while clinging to Jonah as if Pearl had sentenced her to death.

Pearl just looked at her as if she were looking at a clown. In the past two days, she had seen so much of this drama that she was tired now. She only wanted to ask Emily for how long she wanted to keep this drama going on.

Ryder didn’t want to believe that it was Pearl who called the Lychan king, but in his opinion, only Pearl had a reason to make him believe that Emily’s suspicion of Pearl was right. He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Pearl.

Pearl looked at him with raised brows out of curiosity. She still had a ray of hope in her heart that the person standing in front of her who watched her growing up would believe in her. Ryder took a deep breath and looked at Peral with a stern gaze after stopping right in front of her.

“Listen to me, Pearl…. I really wish that you aren’t the one who called the Lychan King, but if it’s really you, then, I will not hesitate to send you to hell.” He threatened Pearl, making Pearl clutch the hem of her gown tightly. The last ray diminished slowly in her heart.

She gulped hard while looking at the person who she called brother all her life. She felt tears in her eyes but she was stubborn to show the weakness in front of him.

“Okay….. both of us know in our hearts, brother, whether it’s me or not…. If…. If I wanted him to take Emily away from Jonah, then, I would have asked him to come here before this ceremony, not after they finished the ritual. Do you think he stoop so low to take a marked she-wolf as his wife when he can have any other virgin and unmated she-wolf with his standing in our world?”

Everyone gasped again after listening to Pearl’s argument. Emily’s face once again twisted in anger, but she immediately masked it. Both Alpha Kyle and Luna Vanessa shared a look with each other because what Pearl said made sense rationally.

“They are here.” Suddenly someone at the far end of the hall near the exit exclaimed in fear. Everyone immediately stumbled towards the farthest corners of the hall so that they could stay away from the lychans.

Pearl gasped in shock while clutching her chest tightly when a heavy aura of someone powerful hit her body. She slowly moved towards the door while holding her breath. This was not the first time that she was going to meet lychans, but this was the first time that she was affected by the aura to this extent.

Emily looked at Pearl from behind as she was standing behind her now with a smug expression. In a few minutes, Pearl would be at her mercy, and then she would put her in dungeons, and torment her for the rest of the life. She was also scared, but she was confident in her scheme.

She knew that no matter what would happen later, her parents wouldn’t let the Lychan king take her away. So, she wanted to use this opportunity to let them and the Lychan King punish Pearl.

The Lychan king rarely made his presence out, so no one knew how he looked like. So, she was also curious to see him. Jonah was now holding her tightly, but he was worried for Pearl. He wanted to raise his status in this world by marrying a princess and that was why he was happy when he found Pearl as his mate.

But to his dismay, Pearl wasn’t the real princess. At that time, Emily proposed him to be her chosen mate, and to reject Pearl. To fulfil his ambition and achieve something great in his life, he did what Emily wanted him to do and rejected Pearl.

He was worried for Pearl, but he couldn’t do anything to help her. He was worried that it would anger Emily and would ruin his chance to rise high in society. Everyone was now looking towards the door with different thoughts in their minds.

Soon, a tall figure, taller than everyone presents in the hall, clad in a royal black suit with black formal shoes entered the room. Everyone almost stopped breathing as soon as he entered the room. His head snapped and his eyes narrowed in the direction where Pearl and Emily were standing with Pearl in the front, and Emily behind her in Jonah’s embrace.

Everyone present in the hall stopped breathing when they heard heavy footsteps reaching the entry of the hall. The aura was strong enough to make them crawl to find a hole to hide, but they were still glued on their spots….. some scared…. Some curious…..

Emily also looked towards the door in anticipation. She had heard so many nasty things about the lychan king. He was the most powerful creature in this world, but he was cursed and also, he had a nasty scar on his face that made him ugly.

Soon a pair of shining black shoes entered the hall, followed by a long pair of legs clad in black pants. Emily blinked while scanning his body from toe to head. She gulped hard when she noticed how fit his body was and slowly her eyes reached for his face. Her heartbeat was now drumming right against her ears.

Emily’s eyes widened in shock and horror and before she could even register what she was doing she screamed at the top of her lungs while looking at the Lychan King – Killian Anderson.

A pair of deep black eyes with a deep cut right in the middle of his right eye ruining the natural colour of his eye down the cut to a dirty grey, with three deep and long wounds from his right temple of the lower left cheek as if he was scratched by a large paw, and a large burn wound under the right temple down to neck appeared in front of them. A face filled with scars and burn with his burly and tall appearance in black suit made him looked like a ferocious beast on hunt.

All the she-wolves, including Luna Vanessa and other lunas from different packs also screamed but muffled their screams by putting their hands on their mouths. They knew that they shouldn’t behave like this, but Killian’s hideous look was enough to make them scared to their cores.

Their mates immediately held them tightly, to make them safe, but they were also startled by how Killian exactly looked. Pearl blinked a few times in fear, but she was the only she-wolf in the room who didn’t scream. She was also startled at first by how his whole face was nothing a mark of brutality, but she just gasped in shock only.

Somehow Killian’s look didn’t scare her to the extent where she could scream in fear, but due to some unknown reasons, she felt a heartache for Killian. She thought about the circumstances in which he got these scars and wounds. She also thought about the pain that he had to go through when they were inflected on him, and how he had felt when he saw those scars on his face for the first time.

She wasn’t afraid of him but felt an urge to go to him and caress his face. She wanted to tell him that he didn’t need to pay attention of how others reacted to him because she could imagine how handsome he would be before those scars. She could swear that he would be the most handsome man she had ever seen if clean his face.

Her eyes were now locked with Killian’s deep black eyes. The coldness in those eyes was enough to make the whole crowd shiver badly, even the royal family including King Kyle shuddered hard in fear when he saw Killian’s first for the first time.

Killian’s eyes were now glued at a she-wolf standing not far away from the door with beautiful emerald eyes. He had anticipated the same reaction with everyone present here, but to his surprise, that she-wolf with emerald eyes neither screamed nor crawled away in fear.

He felt the whole world stop moving in that very second when his eyes fell on her. His beast, Velan, growled aloud inside him, and started pacing furiously, urging him to approach that she-wolf as quick as possible.
