Offered to the lycan Kings

Chapter 42

As Elena left the dinner, her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and questions. The revelation that King Akee had drugged her wine with a truth serum left her feeling a mix of emotions. Anger, betrayal, and a lingering sense of vulnerability washed over her. She had been so careful with her words, and yet he had managed to extract the truth from her.
What puzzled Elena even more was why King Akee hadn't immediately confronted her about her deception. He had known she was lying from the beginning, so why go through the charade of the dinner and allow her to speak freely before revealing the truth? It didn't make sense.
As she made her way back to her guest chambers, Elena couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to King Akee's actions than met the eye. It was as if he had intentionally allowed her to speak her mind, to share her experiences and fears. But for what purpose?
Elena knew she needed to tread carefully in this unfamiliar kingdom. While King Akee seemed different from the ruthless kings she had escaped, she couldn't afford to be naive. She had come this far by relying on her instincts and intelligence, and she wasn't about to let her guard down now.
In the privacy of her guest room, Elena began to formulate a plan. She needed to gather more information about King Akee, the kingdom of Erindor, and its treatment of omegas. Her escape from the previous kingdom had been a daring act of defiance, but now she faced a new challenge: navigating a kingdom where the rules and motivations were still shrouded in mystery. Elena was determined to uncover the truth and ensure her safety, no matter the cost. Elena's decision to stay in Erindor and gather information was a calculated move. She knew that King Akee had taken an unusual interest in her, and that raised suspicions. Could he have somehow sensed that she wasn't an ordinary omega, but a lycan? Elena doubted it; she had taken great care to conceal her true nature, masking her scent to appear like any other omega.
In the days that followed, Elena maintained a careful balance between playing the role of a submissive omega and seeking information about King Akee and the kingdom of Erindor. She engaged in conversations with the palace staff, the guards, and even some of the omegas, trying to piece together the puzzle of this kingdom.
It became evident that King Akee was indeed different from the ruthless kings she had escaped. His rule was marked by a more lenient treatment of omegas, though they were still considered subservient. The omegas here seemed to have more freedom and dignity compared to what Elena had witnessed in other kingdoms.
As for King Akee's interest in her, Elena remained guarded. She couldn't be certain of his intentions, but she knew she needed to keep her lycan identity hidden. Perhaps he was merely intrigued by her past experiences, believing her to be a typical omega who had faced hardships.
Elena continued to gather information, listening to whispers and rumors circulating in the palace. She also began to take notice of any lycans in the kingdom, trying to identify potential allies or threats. Her instincts told her that there was more to King Akee and Erindor than met the eye, and she was determined to uncover the truth. Elena couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and caution when King Akee invited her for a stroll in the royal garden. It was an opportunity to get closer to him, and perhaps gather more information, However, Elena maintained her composed demeanor and accepted the invitation with a gracious nod. She followed King Akee through the palace corridors, each step filled with anticipation and a lingering sense of uncertainty. The night was warm, and the scent of various blooming flowers wafted through the air as they stepped into the lush royal garden. Under the dim moonlight, King Akee began to engage Elena in conversation, asking about her experiences

and her observations since arriving in Erindor. Elena, always cautious with her words, shared some of her thoughts and kept her replies measured. She couldn't afford to divulge too much information As they strolled among the vibrant flowers and winding paths, Elena couldn't help but admire the beauty of the garden King Akee, for his part, seemed genuinely interested in Elena's perspective. He was a king who appeared different from the ruthless monarchs she had encountered before. However, Elena knew better than to let her guard down completely. As their conversation continued, Elena kept a watchful eye on her surroundings, subtly scanning for any signs of potential danger or eavesdroppers. She knew that even in this seemingly tranquil setting, there could be hidden threats or agendas at play. King Akee walked Elena back to her room, his demeanor polite and respectful throughout their time together. Elena, maintaining her composed facade, offered a gracious smile and thanked him for the pleasant evening.
As she stepped back into her guest chamber, Elena couldn't help but reflect on the encounter. King Akee remained an enigmatic figure, and she was no closer to understanding his true intentions. His interest in her was clear, but she couldn't discern whether it was genuine curiosity or if he suspected something about her.
Once alone in her room, Elena continued to ponder her situation. She was in a kingdom that, while different from the ones she had encountered before, still held its own secrets and intrigues. Her determination to uncover the truth and, ultimately, find a way to break free from her past and the ruthless kings she had left behind remained unwavering.
