The Alpha's Bloodline [Completed ]

Chapter 32. The Lycan King's Sacrifice

▪︎ Third Person's POV ▪︎

"Fenriz."

The name rolled out of Valerian's tongue like a venomous carcass making the grey haired man gulp in fear.

"I. . .I d-don't m-mean any h-harm." The man raised his arms above him in surrender, his whole being shivering at the sight of Valerian's eyes growing darker and sinister.

"What are you here for?" Valerian's voice was odd. Chilly.

"I h-heard s-she died. Charlotte—" The man trembled when the king's face darkened at the mention of her name.

"I wanted to tell what happened the night King Acheros died!" Realizing it was too risky to stutter anymore, the man said urgently in a single breath.

Valerian's dangerous aura instantly dropped replaced by a curious expression on his face.

"King Acheros? You mean my father?" It was Kaitlyn who spoke this time, taking a step towards the man.

"Yes, your highness." Fenriz bowed his head letting out a sigh of relief.

Atleast Kaitlyn didn't freak him as much as Valerian did. But then, the man hadn't met Kaitlyn during her assassin days.

"What do you know? Last I heard, you were the one to run off with both me and my twin. Although you didn't succeed and both of us ended up in different places, you still committed treason. How would you like to rectify that?" Kaitlyn gave the centuries old man a stern look.

Fenriz was totally wrong when he thought Kaitlyn wasn't scary herself.

"I didn't run off with the children deliberately. The king asked me to."

"What?" Kate seemed confused.

Valerian accessed the man up and down as his wife shooted him with questions.

"Let's talk about this in the study. Your brother needs to know what happened too, Kate." Valerian cut in, "And if this man is lying, then I'll make sure he's delivered to the nymps first thing tomorrow morning as their food."

As Kaitlyn nodded before heading over towards Anthony's room, Valerian lead the commander towards the study.

Fenriz gulped.

What had he gotten himself into?

Thirty minutes later after everyone hugged and met Carla and expressed how happy they were to have her back, Kaitlyn, Valerian, Anthony gathered in the study.

Anthony who refused to leave Carla's side even for a minute bought her along with him.

Carla gave the king and queen an awkward smile before glaring at Anthony who stuck to her like glue. Currently, he was clutching onto her hand as if she'd dissappear if he let go.

"Anthony," Carla hissed, "Let go."

"Never ever." Anthony retorted stubbornly.

Carla simply rolled her eyes at the man although a smile threatened to pull on her lips at his childishness. He almost seemed cute. Almost.

Fenriz who had been staring at Anthony as if he'd seen a ghost quickly shut his gapping mouth when he caught Valerian looking at him. The man is surely to give him nightmares. What's with the scary look?

Clearing his throat, Fenriz spoke, "I came to know that Princess Kaitlyn found her twin. But I didn't know he resembled King Acheros so much."

At that, Anthony spared the man a glance, "King Acheros who?"
