Chapter 3
Callahan
(Earlier the same day)
I stood looking outside the glass window of my large mansion, my hands perched on the windowsill.
“What do you see?” I asked the girl standing behind me. She was wearing an elegant white dress and her long flowy hair was
tied in a loose bun.
“It does not work like that, my king,” she said again
“Make it work,” I replied and I heard the defeated sigh that left her lips.
She slowly walked in my direction, looking out the window to stand beside me.
“How much time do I have?” I asked and she replied, “I am not sure, a few weeks, maybe just two days.”
A mirthless chuckle left my lips. “To think that the lycan king is at the mercy of fate and a seer who is not of much help.”
Drusilla pursed her lips. I could hear the pain in her voice as she replied, “I cannot help you if you won’t help yourself, my king. We all have our fates prewritten. Yours asks you to finally walk the path you have been avoiding”
“Fate….destiny your divine Moon Goddess…do you even believe in being in charge of your own life?”
I clenched my hands into fists and took a deep breath to control my anger. Drusilla was not the cause of my pain or misery and there was no use lashing at her.
“Fine, I will go take a look. But I won’t promise anything.”
A relieved smile appeared on Drusilla’s face as she bowed her head, “Very well, my king. I hope you do not ignore the signs.”

I shook my head and walked out of the mansion. Half an hour later, I was in a car with my beta traveling to prominent packs under our rule. Drusilla was seated beside me.
“What is it that we are looking for exactly, my king?” Mateo, my beta, asked me as he drove the car.
1 let out a frustrated sigh.
“An anchor.”
Mateo’s hands almost slipped from the steering wheel and the car swiveled a bit before he regained his control of the car.
“Matt, I don’t want to get killed.”
“Sorry, my king. But what made you finally change your mind?”
I looked outside the car window as we traveled through a less-traveled path. I did not want everybody to just clamor around us so I asked him to drive through the fairly secluded roads.
I wanted to use that time to think and clear my head. As much as I hated Drusilla’s words, I knew she was right.
She had proved herself time and again. I had to trust her if I did not want everything to turn to dust. Even if it meant doing the things I despised and loathed.
And while we were traveling through the roads I felt an uneasy sensation crawl up my spine. It made me restless and I suddenly felt claustrophobic despite the AC being on full blast and the air being chilly around us.
I felt as if my heart was being squeezed so I immediately yelled,
“Stop the car!”
“Here? Why what happened?” Matt asked but I ignored him and threw the car door open.
I almost fell down from the car as I stumbled outside and leaned against the stone wall, gasping for breath.
Drusilla and Matt came running after me as I took in deep breaths to calm my nerves.
What was happening to me? I had never felt such a thing before.
“We are
outside
le a school, perhaps resting a bit should do fine. We have been traveling for five hours.”
I raised my hand, “No, I should be fine,” as I got up. But Matt and Drusilla insisted that we take a break.
Thus, Matt stationed everybody outside the gate and a few manned us as I and Drusilla went to the dean’s office.
The dean almost toppled his chair when he saw me. He immediately bent his head low and greeted me.
“K-King Callahan, to what do I owe the pleasure of having your company? Had you given an advanced intimation, we would have arranged a welcome party.”

“We were just traveling and the king thought of taking a break. We would leave in some time.”
The dean immediately called some people to tend to us but I ignored him. Drusilla could look at them and keep them off
The.
Not wanting to hear their rambling, I walked near the window and saw Matt holding some lanky kid by the throat.
I shook my head. Matt had always been a hothead and was fiercely loyal to me. So I believed that the kid must have done or said something against me.
