NovelEnglishChapter 161 It's been a week but Leila cannot stop thinking about the man in the woods, it is not the fact that he claims to be her second chance mate that ails her thoughts, it is the man himself.
There is something about him that is different, he is calm yet dangerous, deadly yet alluring, two opposite ends so perfectly blended into one person.
"Gran Gran, who is the lycan king?" Amara asks, bringing Leila's attention back to the dining table where they are having breakfast.

The lineage of the lycans are a myth, they rule from the shadows, hidden from the rest of the werewolf world but rule they do, their authority is unquestionable, their power absolute and the current Lycan king is the best of his breed. An empty throne was crowned in his stead. No one has ever seen him, no one knows what he looks like. "Yesterday at the mall when I went shopping with Papa Kev, everyone was talking about it, even in the news on the radio, they say he's coming to this pack," Amara replies, cutting her chicken into tiny bits with her fingers. "Well, if you ever cacross the lycan king, you stay away from him," Liana replies with a little smile.
It's not like her granddaughter will ever cacross the mysterious lycan king, the most ruthless being that has ever graced the earth. He once wiped out an entire pack for daring to stop paying their treaty to him.
The news sent shock and fear throughout the entire kingdom, a king who would destroy his subjects because of the disobedience of their Alpha. No one knows how he did it because there were no eyewitnesses to tell the tale but the rumour then was that he possesses magic and he uses it to mind control a werewolf to do whatever he wants.
It was how he got the pack to kill themselves without having to lift a finger before he decapitated their Alpha and sent his head to the Alpha council as a warning to the rest of the alphas.
No one dares to go against him, he is not just a Lycan but a powerful sorcerer just like Leila's grandmother on her father's side.
"Mom, why would the Lycan king want to visit? I thought he never leaves his castle," Leila interjects, knowing the stories of the man's cruel exploits.
"Don't you know anything mama?" Amara makes a face at Leila, a smug pout on her lips as she shakes her head. "Uncle Alpha is getting married and the Lycan king is his guest of honour. Uncle Alpha's wife is so lucky, he is a nice man," she says with a happy smile and turns back to her meal. Leila and Liana share a look and Leila's eyes becwet, a pang slicing through her heart.
She will have to tell Amara the truth someday, how will she react to it? How would it feel knowing that the man she is so happy for his marriage is her father and the woman he is getting married to tried to kill her mother several times and successfully got her father to denounce and permit her mother's death while she was in the womb? "Will we attend the wedding Mama? We should, I heard-" "You hear too much young lady, is that all you do when you leave this house, listen to gossip?" Leila's brow furrow. Amanda's influence on her child is too evident.

"And also say less," Leila replies in a mildly stern tone, a smug pout of her own adorning her lips.
"I'm glad I lived to see this day," Liana says, chuckling heartily. "She is just like you." e'
After breakfast, Liana is braiding Amara's hair into cornrows in the living room while Leila grumbles as she switches from channel to channel to find something to watch but every channel she switches to has the video montage of Tatum and Carmela's engagement playing, an announcement to their upcoming wedding.
It is not just the local channels being transmitted from the pack, even the ones from outside the pack, even the movie and sports channels, everyone is showing this sdamn thing. Tatum is sparing no expense in
making the whole world know hezis finally crowning his phoenix Lyna and for the Lycan king himself to be attending, he must have pulled a really big string. The doorbell chimes and from her phone she sees the most unlikely visitor standing outside her house holding an envelope, Carmela.
