Babysitting The Amnesiac Lycan King

Chapter 107 Chapter 107 My eyes crack open to cold fingers pressing against my skin.

No, not cold. Wet.

Someone's wiping my thigh.

My lashes flutter open. Everything's too white. The ceiling blurs before it snaps into focus-gold moldings, high walls, steril and silent.

I jolt, or at least try to, but my limbs are jelly. Disconnected and floppy like I got hit by a truck made of regret.

There's a dull throb at the base of my skull, pounding in rhythm with my heartbeat. I blink up into the dim gold light bleeding through the windows and- "Oh-fuck." I'm not dreaming. There are actual maids hovering over me. Dabbing my forehead and arms with damp towels like I'm sfeverish princess instead of the walking crscene I feel like.

"What-what the hell is happening?" My voice sounds like I've been gargling sandpaper.

One of them gasps and fumbles the towel like I just cback from the dead. Maybe I did. Another maid mutters something in a rush-something about a sedative, fainting spell, exhaustion. None of it lands. All I hear is static. "Miss- please don't move-" I shove the towel away, chest heaving. "Why the hell are you bathinglike I'm a damn corpse?" The maid flinches, towel clutched in her hands like a goddamn weapon. "Hi sMajesty-his majesty ordered for you to It slams intolike a train.

Brooke.

The stairs. Her scream. Her blood. My shaking hands.

My breath cuts out. I can still feel her collar in my grip. The way her feet dangled before she slipped.

I sit up too fast. The world spins on its axis and I sway, gripping the edge of the mattress like it might stopfrom hurling. "Where is he?" I croak.

The maids exchange panicked glances.

I throw the blanket off. My feet hit the floor with a hard slap. "Where's Enoch?" "Miss, please, you shouldn't move-" "Fuck that." I swipe their hands away, more flailing than anything else, but it does the job. I stagger to my feet in my oversized T-shirt and shorts, legs wobbly like a newborn deer on a sugar crash.

The maid tries to stop me, but she's barely five feet and trembling. She's not holdingback. I rip my arm away like her fingers burned me. "I said where the fuck is he?" "You need rest- 31 I don't need shit. I need to know what the hell he did to Brooke. If he snapped her neck like I was about to. If I've got blond 1/5 Chapter 107 60% +50 on my hands or if he cleaned it up for me. I need answers, and I need them now.

I stagger toward the door, legs wobbly like I've been doing tequila shots since dawn. The whole hallway tilts as I push it open, stumbling like sdrunk idiot, grabbing the wall for support.

1. Need. Enoch..

Because that's what this was.

He drugged me. The asshole drugged me.

"He drugged me," I mutter under my breath. "The bastard fucking drugged me.' And if he thought that would stop me, he's about to get smacked so hard his damn wolf will feel it in his balls.

"Is the King here?" I bark at the guard outside the door. My voice doesn't even sound like mine. It's raspy. Ragged. Drunk- but-pissed-off energy.

The guy blinks, clearly not prepared for a half-dead Omega to storm the palace halls barefoot and looking like an undercooked pancake.

"Who the fuck are you? You can't enter." The pack warrior mutters. I didn't take long before the other guy beside him takes a second look atbefore he elbows the other one who cursed me.

What, what is it? "You idiot! That's the King's woman. You fucker. I don't wanna lose my head." He murmurs and my brows propped up. The King's woman? That's new, but if that's what's getin, I guess.

The guy's eyes snap as he looks up again. His face pales, then he bows so fast his neck might crack. "Yes, my Lady, but he's currently in a—" Too late. I've already pushed past him.

I nearly face-plant into a damn marble pillar, and keep moving. The hallway spins. My legs aren't working right. This is worse than when Zoe spiked my lemonade in the Luau in Maldives and when I almost told Kallias I loved him. Ugh. Shut up, brain. Not now.

I hear my nsomewhere. One of the maids, maybe. Too bad. I've got tunnel vision now. I want answers, and I want to slap that smug bastard across the face for pumpingfull of sleepy juice.

He thinks that'll stop me? Cute.

The next door I barrel into is wide and polished and smells expensive. It's massive. Mahogany, gold handles, sealed tight. So yeah, I probably should've stopped. I definitely should've knocked.

But I don't.

Probably because I'm still kinda drunk on sedative and grief and fury, and I've lost the last shred of fucks I had to give. "...and as for the reinforcements being sent to the Eastern perimeter-" The voice cuts off.

Dozens of heads swivel.

2/5 60 Chapter 107 The room goes dead silent.

Twelve-no, fifteen?-men in suits. A curved conference table. My brain registers the crown emblem on a parchment, the awkward silence, the way one old guy's monocle nearly falls off his wrinkly face.

And at the head of the table? Him.

Enoch.

Looking sinfully gorgeous in a tailored black shirt, sleeves rolled up, expression unreadable-until his eyes meet mine. Everyone's staring at me.

I'm standing there in a thin satin nightgown. Hair a fucking mess. No shoes. No shame. I look like I just crawled out of a psych ward and then crash-landed into Parliament.

Someone coughs.

Another guy mutters, "What in the goddess's name-"A low growl stops that before it could continue and I look where it comes from.

Enoch's jaw ticks. His eyes lock on mine.

And I'm not letting him look away.

"You," I say, stabbing my finger toward him. "Did you drug me?" Silence.

Enoch lifts one brow. The corners of his lips twitch.

Oh, he thinks this is funny? ***** WWW 20 "I swear to all that is holy, if I find out you shoved sbullshit tranquilizer in my veins-" Everyone freezes. Someone gasps. Someone else chokes on their tea.

I don't even flinch. I just point at him accusingly like an unhinged lunatic. "You sedated me, didn't you? So I wouldn't go feral again?" Enoch leans back in his chair, amused as hell, arms folding as he rests his chin on one hand like this is skind of Netflix special and not a full-blown catastrophe.

"Baby, chere." Sbastard near the corner huffs. "This is highly inappropriate-" "I said, chere." Fuck.

My feet move before my brain catches up. I wobble around the table like a sleep-deprived zombie. Everyone's watching. Their disgust hangs in the air like smoke. Sof them eyelike I'm a fucking striptease. I hear someone whisper something about "unladylike" and "poor reflection." "I'm not trying to strip the damn monarchy, relax," I mutter, dragging my half-dead body forward. "He drugged me. I'm walking like a drunk, not a whore, thank you." 3/5 60%i +50 Chapter 107 Enoch's lips twitch again. Bastard.

When I reach him, he doesn't wait. He pullsonto his lap like I weigh nothing.

My ass hits his thighs, and his arms immediately wrap around me, possessive and unyielding. His scent slams into my nose-smoke, leather, wolf.

Mm," he hums. "And?" The man has zero shame.

The room stays painfully quiet as I drag my feet forward, limbs heavy, brain

screaming abort mission, and still I walk like a goddam idiot toward the Lion King The himself.

"I'm literally in my fucking pajamas," I hiss as I near him.

"You look good," he murmurs, low enough only I can hear, "but I prefer you naked."

"Enoch," I snap under my breath, my hand slapping his shoulder "Youn complete, controlling-ugh!" He grins. Then yanksinto his lap like I weigh nothing, his arms locking around my waist with a quiet, satisfied hum.

"Fuck you." "Later." he winks.

Every single person in the room looks scandalized.

Especially the guy sitting three chairs down who's now pretending to read his notes to avoid looking directly at my thigh.

"She should not be in this meeting," someone snaps.

"She is not appropriately dressed." "This is a high council affair- Enoch's eyes flare red and the air drops ten degrees.

The sound that rumbles from his chest shuts the entire room the fuck up.

"I'm sorry-were you under the impression that my mate needs permission to be near me?" His voice is soft. Dangerous. Possessive in a way that makes my stomach clench. "She's free to findwhenever the fuck she wants. In whatever the hell she's wearing." My face is burning. My heart's about to claw out of my ribcage. And yet...I don't move.

Because even though I'm still pissed, still confused, still sleep-drunk and sore and spinning out from everything-we're here.

Me. In his arms.

And he didn't run.

But I also don't know what he did to Brooke.

Or what the hell happens next.

His hand is gripping my waist tight enough to bruise. His wolf-their wolf-is awake, and he's not fucking around.
