*Sawy!” The lycan king was running in her direction, absolutely n@ked and covered in blood. It didn’t bother him, but her cheeks flushed before he could reach her..
“Kai!” She tried to warn him about his nudity with her sharp tone, but he ignored her completely, locking her in his arms and giving her the tightest of hugs. It felt divine. Even she had to admit to that. His head was buried in the crook of her neck, and he inhaled sharply.
Suddenly, his whole body stiffened. “Who did this to you?” Kai growled..
“Who did this to you?!” Kai repeated his question as Savannah furrowed her brows, not understanding what he meant.
Although, if she was being honest with herself, she was mostly trying really hard not to look at his beautiful muscular body, exposed fully before her eyes. There was something about him that always tempted her mind to go to sinfully delicious places, and it was hard to have him this close with no clothes to boot.
“I’m,” she attempted to say something, but he placed his palm on her cheek and rubbed it gently with his thumb, “fine …I’m fine.”
“The hell you are,” he grunted while his eyes glowed blue. “You have blood here.”
She tried to touch the same place he did and ended up placing her fingers on top of his, causing him to s*ck in a deep and painful breath.
“I had the helmet on,” Savvy tried to explain while her cheeks w/ere heating up from the tension. “I didn’t scratch my face. I probably got it when I wiped my hand or something.”
Kai caught her arm and started checking it, eyes grazing over every exposed inch of her skin. It did not escape him that she didn’t have his jacket on anymore, and he noticed it on the ground nearby. Meaning that for some reason, it was taken off her. The blood pulsed in his veins at the thought of why that would have been necessary circling in his mind..
However, he quickly cooled down, concentrating on something more important. Savannah was healing rapidly, but he could see a few deep cuts and bruises on her. Her jeans were soaking with blood in some places, and she had one shoe on, making it hard for her to keep her balance.
“Savvy…” Kai wanted to say something but couldn’t find the right words, realizing that no matter how he looked at it, he was the one at fault.
One thing that selfishly bothered him even more than her being hurt thanks to him was that Savannah reeked of another male. It was impossible to tell the species, which could only mean one thing-his a*s*sumptions about who attacked them were correct.
Vet, once again, the Western Princess stood before him alive and in one piece.
“Please, don’t throw me in the lake again.” the girl knitted her brows, reading his facial expression correctly. He felt a prick of guilt deep inside. How low was her opinion of him?
Instead, he grasped her and pulled her into a hug, tucking his head into her hair. Kai inhaled her scent so deeply that his whole lungs were filled with it now. For some reason, it helped to calm him down, although he wasn’t in any rush to let her go. He almost lost her, and the feeling was horrific.
Her delicate fingers glided over his bare skin as she awkwardly wrapped her arms around him instead of pushing him away.
“I am so sorry,” he muttered, but she heard his every word. “I don’t see how any of this is your fault,” Savvy whispered, and he exhaled heavily, distancing himself from her.
“I was supposed to keep you safe on my territory.” The Northern King averted her gaze, shame flowing through his mind and soul.
“Yeeeah” She stretched the word. “Your territory is roamed by your enemies. Are you sure you don’t want that alliance my brother is offering?”
Her smile faded when he didn’t bite the joke. Although this was understandable to some degree, considering their circumstances. Maybe this wasn’t the time for jokes.
“Who was with you here?” Kai looked her straight in the eye.
Savannah disliked that this was suddenly becoming an interrogation. Nevertheless, she could also understand where he was coming from. In his place, she would do the same thing.
“I have a feeling you know who it was.” She stepped away from him and crossed her hands on her chest. While she was understanding, she wasn’t appreciating.
“Do you?” The King lifted his brow at her.
“Darius Bjorn, the white bear shifter with one eye who claims that he will be the King of The North soon,” she said bluntly, trying not to miss his reaction as this was important. She noticed how he clenched his fists and how his eyes glowed again, meaning that his wolf was angry and trying to get out.
“Did you meet him before you came here?” Kai was unsure if he really wanted to hear her answer.
“No,” she said calmly, and he experienced temporary relief. However, temporary was the keyword.
“Did you have any contact with him prior to arriving in the North?”
“No.”
“Did you know about him at all?”
“No.” She was starting to get furious. “Did you …” He started asking the next question, but she lost it.
“Kai Fion….lagh,” she almost swore because this last name always caused her to stumble, “what is it exactly you want to know?!”
“I want to know why the man who K*lls anyone he meets, who has never left a single witness alive, left you in one piece twice!” the Lycan growled, and she narrowed her eyes at him.
“Maybe because I am so adorable, he can’t resist me?” Her lips curled into a sly grin, making this the last straw for him. In one swift move, Kai lifted her up in his arms and started walking.
“What do you think you are doing?!” Savannah snarled at him. Athena was joining in the game as well. They were Alphas and were not going to be manhandled like that again. Enough was enough, and the Northern King had already gotten away with it once.
“There is a lake nearby!” The man smirked, and she hissed at him.
“I swear, if you do this again, I will shift and leave the North and those stupid Trials for good!” she announced, not expecting any kind of reaction.
However, this made the King stop. After a few seconds of hesitation, he even placed her back onto her feet, startling her.
Savvy didn’t know how to react and what to say. She just watched Kai return to where she initially fell and picked up the leather jacket. He then turned back to face her and threw the garment at her.
“Put it on!” he commanded, and Savannah rolled her eyes, shoving it back at him.
“You put it on! You need it more!” The princess let her eyes slide down just once, which caused her breath to hitch. He was one gorgeous lycan specimen, after all. Too good to forget. Ever.
