The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Arielyn

I waited for him to tell me what was really going on, I knew from the way he was acting that something wasn’t quite right, my dad didn’t know I live with him then why will he demand that I go see him and what way will that help, I actually hated the thought of going to see my dad but seeing how disappointed Ken had looked and how he let out a heavy sigh while hugging and telling me not to leave, I wanted to know.

“Let’s just forget I asked you anything, you are right, I didn’t think about the long-term consequences of what I am asking for,”

He said and let go of me but I refused.

“You are telling me what happened or I am leaving this house tonight,”

I said and I meant it, I know I had nowhere to go and shouldn’t be provoking my helper but I just also know that something huge will be lost if I let him go without him telling me what he had with my dad and why my going to see my dad will help him.

“Are you always like this or is it just with me?”

He asked, walking away from me.

“Hello, I am a doctor, I have worked with patients that refuse to share a ton of needed details until they are pressed to say so, just tell me already, what does my old wolf have on you?”

I tried to lighten the mood up too when I noticed that was what he was trying to do when he asked me that question.

“I don’t want you to worry,”

He said and I glared at him.

“Excuse me, you came on here asking for my help, you not telling me will not help, just spill already,”

I persuaded hoping he would listen and talk to me.

“Fine, I need your dad to help me with something and he said before he can even meet me solo, I have to, I mean we have to get you to come home and see him,”

He disclosed which got me wondering who the ‘we’ were.

“We? You and who?”

I asked and he let out a sign and pulled me with him, he gestured for me to sit and I did, he did too and we both sat silent like that with me waiting for him to tell me what was going on and him just sitting there probably thinking of how best to tell me what’s going on, I waited patiently not wanting to rush since it seem like a lot, my earlier outburst and me wanting to leave rather than try to help him suddenly felt insensitive considering how he took me in even though we are practical strangers.

If it was something I could help with, I may as well go to my dad and stand being made a fool out of one last time but I know if I go, that would not be the end of it.

He disclosed. I had questions but I kept them to myself, no matter what happened between me and Jordan and how much of a jerk he was to me, I couldn’t change the fact that they were related so it shouldn’t be surprising that they do things together even if Ken claims they don’t like each other.

“Don’t look at me like that Arielyn, I am not working with him, in fact, we are kind of competing with each other for something that we both want,”

He explained and my mood lifted up a little. I don’t know how to say it but I kind of wanted Ken to always be on my side even though that means turning on his relatives. Yes, I was being selfish and I don’t regret it.

“What kind of competition is this and how is my dad involved? Is it some kind of business deal?”

I asked but he shook his head.

“That’s not it Arielyn,”

“Then what is it? Tell me,”

I insisted.

“Alpha king,”

he responded and I looked at him confused at first, wondering what the alpha king got to do with what we were talking about and then it clicked that they were both sons of the king and both successors, Ken by birth but the fact that our king didn’t legally marry his mom was against him which makes Jordan the heir, or maybe not.

“You guys are competing for who will be the next king? But the king is still alive and strong,”

I said confused once again, it was well known that the royal family only picks a replacement when the present king is no more.

“Yeah, but Father wants to pick who gets to be the king and he gave us an ultimatum and your dad is the only person who can help us gain what we need,”

He explained.

“Wow, and may I know what it is the king wants from you guys? If you don’t mind me asking,”

I asked. Whatever it is, I already know it won’t be easy, the king could have easily just picked one of them, I am rooting for Ken because the world needs more kind people like him in power, anyway, I still couldn’t figure out why the king is making them compete when he can just decide on his own.

“I don’t think you should worry yourself about knowing,”

He said and I interpreted that as him not wanting to tell me what it was.

“Do you want to be king?”

I asked even though I already knew the answer to that, I mean it is pretty much obvious since he is willing to do what his dad asked which involves my dad.

“Wait, I know the answer to that, but what I want to know is how is my dad going to help you with it? And do you really trust my dad to help even when I go see him?”

I asked, I really wanted to help him even if it was just in a small way, he let out a sigh and I waited for him, I know he was revealing a lot and he might not really want to.
