Chapter 188
BOOK 2: CHAPTER 58
Rowan's POV
"Zack, his name is Zack," she answered. Mika still didn't let go of her hair. The name didn't sound familiar to me or Mika. I turned to Gideon and he shrugged.
"So What? My name is Mika and I'll fucking kill you if you don't keep talking,"
Mika threatened again.
I told her to calm down a bit and she glared at me. This was the real Mika. The one hidden behind the facade. She was like a tamed beast who was to be feared but somehow, she had presented herself to people like a fair leader. I'd always seen behind the facade but with the look on Gideon's face, I don't think he has.
"He's a vampire,"
The girl answered as I was about to tell Mika to let her go. A vampire?
I knew it.
The horrible smell that emanated from him was because he was a vampire. He wasn't even in camouflage, he came into my pack as his real nature, a fucking bloodsucker.
What was his intention exactly? What was the connection between all of them?
The man from my past, Harriette, the scar-faced woman, and now, a vampire called Zack.
"What's your connection with this vampire? Is he a friend?" I asked the girl.
"No! I ran away from him but I swear I don't have vampire blood running through my veins," the girl answered.
"Why did you run away from him?"
She shook her head.
"I'll die if I tell you," she answered. "But you can ask Harriette and Ella. They would have better..."
Mika didn't wait for the girl to finish her words before she kicked her into a corner.
"Did you guys come from the same place? You and Harriette,” Mika asked her.
The girl shook her head. "No,"
"So, why should they tell your story?"
Mika asked sinisterly. She was right. "Trying to make a fool out of us?"
Mika asked again.
She was rolling up the sleeves of her shirt.
"Get her out of here before Mika kills her,"
"Alpha Rowan!" Mika snarled.
Her new toy was right in front of her and I was taking it away from her. She had to be just mad at me.
"Mika, stand down, understood?"
"She still has a lot to say," she snapped.
Through gritted teeth and controlled anger, I answered, "I have better things to worry about, Mika. You go home and get some good sleep. If you come back tomorrow with this attitude, I swear that I'll do something we'll both regret. Understood?"
I threatened.

She took a step back from me and bowed before walking away. She hit Gideon squarely on the shoulder as she walked out.
I understood she was angry because of me but if she killed the girl, there was no way we would get any information out of her. Knowing Mika well, once the girl starts proving useless at giving answers, it wouldn't take Mika five seconds to snap her neck.
Soon, I was left alone in the CCTV room.
I ran my fingers through my hair trying to make a connection out of everyone and everything and after thirty minutes, nothing came up. I couldn't come up with something helpful or meaningful. I could've asked Thorne for help but that bastard had an empty skull. Anything unrelated to violence was out of his league.
In the end, I only came up with one decision. I had to protect my pack and to do that, I had to unleash the beast inside of me.
So, I did the unthinkable.
"Your Royal Highness," I said as the call was answered and I heard the voice of the person on the other end of the line.
"Rowan?"
He asked in disbelief that I could actually call him.
"Yes,"This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He laughed and then pushed. "What do you want? You want something, don't you?"
The King asked.
Of course, I wanted something. If I didn't, I wouldn't have called him or reached out to him even if he was dying.
"I need your help,"
"I never thought this day would come that my own son would call me to ask for my help,"
"|
"Don't get too excited. It's not supposed to excite you," I snapped.
I was getting too restless for him to keep saying unnecessary things.
"What do you want?"
"I need to unleash a beast. How do I go about it?"
I asked in distress.
"What do you mean? What beast are you talking about?"
"A Lycan," I answered him sharply. I knew how to control Thorne and get him out as often as possible even though I hadn't mastered how to stop him from showing up unannounced but about the Lycan, I had no fucking idea how to do it.
It was more dormant than active inside of me.
"Why do you need to unleash a Lycan, Rowan? They're dangerous beings. He could contend for the throne from you,"
Fucking hell! Why did I think to call him for help? Why did I believe he had any help to render? All he can think about is the throne and the fucking throne all the damn time.
"I wasted my time believing you could be of help," I spat, ready to end the call.
"What did I say wrong this time, Rowan?" He asked. Something about his words made me stop.
"All you fucking care about is that stupid throne of yours. Can you act like a fucking parent for once?"
I spat.
"Fine. I'm sorry I said that. Let's forget about the throne. Why do you want to unleash a lycan?"
"He's dormant,"
"I'll ask around. Maybe I'll find someone who knows something,"

I closed my eyes in desperation.
"I'm the Lycan, Your Highness, and the fact that you have no idea, NO BLOODY idea has so much to say about how pathetic a father you are to me. You had no fucking idea,"
I was passing aggression to the one person that I decided a long time ago to not waste my energy on. I shouldn't have done that but I just couldn't help it.
"You should come home, Rowan,"
He suddenly said. "Please come home,"
I took a deep breath.
"If you see me in that palace again or if you hear of me in that palace, best believe it'll be in a body bag,"
I ended the call.
Two days later, I was busy in my office when I was told there was a visitor at the gates who had specifically asked of me. I hadn't heard back from Harriette and that was driving me crazy. I tried reaching out again but I got nothing. The plan was to wait one more day before I went after her.
When I got to the gates, I clicked my tongue and regretted walking all the way to the gates in such a hurry. I should've taken my sweet time. The bastard who was waiting for me had his stupid, signature grin on his face.
"Hello brother," He waved at me with a grin and turned to Mika with a frown. "Hello Mate or should I say MURDERER,"
