I tried moving away, but Cahan pulled me close for a deep kiss. I let him as his lips were just as


    much of a drug I craved and could not get enough of.


    My eyes fluttered, and I wanted to continue further but one nce outside the window told me that


    dawn was upon us.


    And I had things to do. Such as trying to find out Mirabel again and what the Rogue King was up to.


    There were too many enemies lurking around.


    So I kissed him back, feverishly, before pulling away. Cahan’s golden eyes glowed in the first rays of


    sunlight as his fingers yed with my hair, tucking the loose strands behind my ear.


    “Zee, if you dare anybody elsee even close to you, I will skin him alive,” Cahan said with a hint


    of possessiveness.


    I ced a finger on his chest, letting it trail over his bare skin. His body was chiseled to perfection,


    sculpted to remove all the faults he could ever have.


    Slowly, I trailed my finger over his heart and ced my palm over it, feeling the steady beating of his


    heart.


    “Talk about dying again and I would dly take someone else-”


    I began, but I felt the grip of his hand on my hair tighten.


    “You are mine, Zee.” He let out a low, throaty growl, and I loved how jealous he sounded. I smiled as


    his lips found the base of my neck and he sucked on the skin, making me tremble all over again.


    “You better stay alive for that. Or you know…I might just….”


    I teased, and I felt his teeth bite into my skin, sending a delicious shiver over my body.


    “Don’t you dare threaten me, Zee! I have not even started doing anything yet”


    I tried not to shudder at that line before putting a bit of force on my hands to push him away.


    09:41


    “Enough talk. Now, I have to get dressed and ready for the next tasks.”


    “What tasks?” He murmured, trying to get hold of my arm that slipped away from him.


    “Patience, my King. Let me go and learn all about this anchor stuff. You look after all the files scattered


    around”


    Cahan ran a hand through his hair but let me go. I tidied my clothes and appearance to the best of


    my ability and opened the door to check if anybody was around.


    Luckily the coast was clear, so I closed the door behind me and went outside, tiptoeing my way through


    the stairs and toward my room.


    Thunder helped me make little to no noise, and I slipped into my room quite easily. The first thing I did


    after reaching inside was take a few deep breaths.


    My heart was still beating frantically, and it had been excruciatingly hard to step away from the man of


    my dreams. But I did it since now. I was fueled with motivation to get to the puzzle of solving this


    mystery of the curse and maybe trying to find Mirabel again.


    By now, I was certain it was her roaming around in the forest and she had shown herself to me, so


    there was a good chance she would show up again.


    Though I wondered why she would roam the forest and be so close to Cahan’s home, but never talk


    to him. Maybe she truly hated him and thought I was going to suffer the same fate as her daughter.


    Somehow, I was not afraid of that. Dying in Cahan’s arms would be a peaceful death rather than


    dying fighting the rogues or enemies.


    Compared to Cahan’s issues, the Rogue King and my issues with Sid sounded childish to me. It had


    been quite long since I heard from Sid and frankly, I hoped he had found a mate or gotten some other


    girl to toy with.


    Though that was selfish. Unless he changed, no girl deserves him. Celeste had spoiled him rotten.


    Wait, why was I even thinking about them?


    Shaking my head, I walked towards the bathroom and slipped out of the pajamas, letting my mind


    wander.


    09:41


    The shower water was hot and after my intense make out session with Cahan, it soothed my nerves.


    However, it was nothingpared to Cahan’s touch that set my whole body on fire.


    Smiling to myself as I recalled his words, the look in his eyes, and the way he touched me, I scrubbed


    myself and took a generous scoop of a scented body wash to rejuvenate myself.


    I could not afford to spend the day sleeping in bed.


    After hearing Cahan’s story, I was even more determined to be a good anchor and lift the curse


    off him. His secret was going to be safe with me.


    Thus, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel while using the other towel to dry my


    hair.


    I stared at my reflection and could clearly see the way my cheeks looked flushed. My brain was going


    crazy trying to find a way to break the curse, but I was not one of the First Children or any special wolf


    that would allow me to meet Selene directly.


    I was just a regr wolf without any divine bloodline. My gaze drifted to the anchor bond at my wrist. It


    somehow infused me with confidence. I somehow felt I would be able to dy the time until Cahan


    wentpletely feral.


    Feeling a bit confident, I dried my hair and was thinking of going to meet Drusi to talk all about the


    anchor bond and what more she could tell me about it.


    But then I was dragged out of my thoughts when my phone med. Ity by the corner of the bed and at


    first I ignored it.


    However, the notification ringtone rang again, and I let go of hairbrush before moving towards the bed


    to crawl upon it and phone.


    There were two messages waiting for me. Both were from an unkno number.


    Sid.


    I instantly knew it was him. I hadpletely forgotten about him and the texts he used to send me.


    But this time I did not feel nervous while reading them. The first message


    09:41


    Chapter 139 read:


    -Hey, how are you? I hope you are doing fine.-


    I did not bother replying to that and clicked on the next one.


    -I have something important to tell you. Can we talk?-


    I hesitated. Was this another one of his stupid traps to make me talk to


    him?


    -What is it about?-


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    I sent a text without bothering to greet him or exchange pleasantries.


    -It is about the Rogue King. And I have some highly confidential information that I wish to share with


    you.-


    At that, my eyebrows furrowed. I had also forgotten the threat of the Rogue King and his unique tactic


    of separating the youth from the elders.


    -Go on-


    I hurriedly texted, and the reply was instant.


    -Not on the phone. We have to meet in person-


    I thought about it for a second before replying,


    -This better not be a trap-


    -I swear on my mother’s life, I am not trying to trap you. You did not even say hello or ask how I was. I


    know you still don’t trust me an don’t want to push you away further.


    Odd. Sid was known for being a cocky young man, not this nice an sweet person he was trying to be.


    Was he really changing?


    -Fine. Give me the date and time-


    -Meet me at the same bar in an hour-


    An hour was too short of a time to think this through. If Cahan found out I had left to meet Sid again,


    he would kill me.


    But I wished to find out more about this Rogue King and I knew Cahan would just try to strangle Sid


    than talk to him calmly.


    I wanted to do this my way. Plus, afterst night, Cahan’s mood was

    ? ?bad. I wanted him to rx a little and forget all about his past. I had to


    meet Sid alone and find out what this secret information was. But I also had to get out of the mansion,


    meet Sid, and return without letting Cahan know.


    -An hour is too short of a notice. I can meet in two-


    -Alright. Can’t wait to meet you.-


    He sent me a text, and I warned him once again.


    -No funny business, Sid. Or I am never talking to you again-


    The reply was longer and hastily typed, for I received it in an instant again.


    -No, please don’t say that. I swore on my mother and I swear on you as well. I am not going to harm or


    trick you. I am just eager to see you again-


    I tried to keep my tone as neutral as possible, but the fact that he swore on me as well told me that he


    was really worried about something. I did not feel the same way about him, but he had stated many


    times that he had feelings for me.


    Plus, I was not a weak and timid human now. I could take care of myself.


    -Fine-


    He did not know I had a wolf now. I could handle him.
