Babysitting The Amnesiac Lycan King novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 

“W–what are you doing, Enoch?” I called, feeling his large, warm hand on the inside of my shirt. 

I wasn’t sure if he was flirting or just existing, but either way, my brain was short–circuiting as Enoch’s hand rushes up. behind my back. His hand is going to give me seizures if these rising goosebumps are a telltale sign. 

“Like this?” He murmurs with a pout on his face, the other hand snaking under my legs–just under my knees where one usually would be upon carrying someone. The next thing I know, “Ah!” 

I’m being carried bridal–style up in the air as if I weigh nothing against his large, bulky arms. “Enoch!” I yell, aggravated with what he’s doing right now. He’s not being very obedient lately, and that’s starting to get to me. 

He’s also not doing it on purpose, which somehow makes it worse–how am I supposed to fight off an accidental seduction? 

“Like this?” He mutters, close to my ear. I feel his warm breath brushing my skin and I cringe away from him. Shit, shit shit. How is an amnesiac so hot? 

I clear my throat, trying to be mature of the situation, because it’s honestly getting to me. “A–alright, yes. Yes, this is how you carry someone! Not like a potato sack behind your back, okay.” I muttered, a crimson tint creeping up my cheeks. 

I look away from him, completely flustered. Goddamnit, get a hold of yourself, Taryn! 

“Taryn?” Enoch calls with a tinge of sadness in his voice, I turn to look at him. My eyes widened to see him close to crying. Oh my Goddess, how is this towering man looking like a kid after brutally beating everyone near their deaths earlier? 

There’s even lots of their blood splattered on his body and he’s out here tearing up? 

“Bad…?” He mutters. Is he asking if he did bad with carrying me? 

I immediately shook my head, “There there, I–I didn’t mean to look away. You did great, you’re uh… learning.” I comfort, and the tears immediately evaporate out of his eyes, replaced with a smile as he leans his head close to me like a puppy. 

My hand moved to pat him. I’ve been doing this for so long, it’s already engraved in me like muscle memory. 

If he’s not in his human form, I would assume I would see his wolf wagging his tail right now. Damn, this is not healthy for me. I’m not supposed to be babysitting a grown man. Not to mention, a killing machine who only stops at my command. 

I can’t always stop him if I’m not there, and that’s going to be his biggest fucking flaw if he is staying in this pack as Gamma Abel said. 

“Okay, now would you please put me down now?” I sigh, he smiles cheekily and before I knew it. He begins spinning around with me still in his arms. “Enoch! No!” I called but he wouldn’t stop. Cradling me even close as he begins to spin faster. 

What is this? A test fucking drive? 

My head is beginning to spin again and before I know it, my arms unconsciously wrap around his neck, afraid of falling down my concrete floors. Shit, shit, shit. He’s out of control! 

“Very good!” He exclaims, laughing his ass off as he begins to throw me in the air and catching me, as though practicing even more. Ugh, I really don’t need this right now. 

I suck in a huge amount of breath, “Eno-” 

“Taryn?” My eyes widened when the door opened and the same Omega who called me back then peeks his head inside. 

Well fuck.

Chapter 18 

My face immediately turned grim as Enoch came to a halt. He looks confused by the bystander who just came in, before those emerald eyes turned into a harsh glare, the same one I’ve seen him wear while drilling his fist into everyone’s ques 

earlier. 

“Hik-“The girl immediately backs out with a shriek. “I–I’ll wait for you here outside, T–taryn.” 

He’s basically annoyed that someone ruined his fun. By fun, I mean, spinning me the fuck in the air just because he learned how to properly carry a woman. 

“Enoch,” I trailed off. Turning off every expression I have on my face just so he would know how deep he is in this shit he just pulled. “Put me down. Now.” I glower at him and he nods, pouting like a kid. 

He places me down the bed, once again, kneeling right in front of me. 

“Did I tell you to do that?” I grit my teeth, staring straight at him. He shakes his head. Good, he’s not stupid enough to not understand what I’m saying. “Good, then why did you do it?” My voice raised this time, the annoyance clearly steaming out 

There’s a maximum line my patience can reach, and I am on the edge of it. I am not in the mood to deal with a toddler right now and he needs to know that. 

God, when will his memories even come back? 

“Good. It feels good.” He hesitated, voice deep and low. A shiver ran down my spine. 

My brows shot up almost immediately. He’s said three, no four words just now did he? 

Shit, I never would have known his voice sounds like that saying a full sentence. I immediately cleared my throat when silence began to cloud the entire room. No, stay focused, Taryn. You were getting angry at him. 

“Next time, you don’t do what you’re not told to, alright? Especially not to another person.” I sigh, rubbing my temples. Enoch nods like a scolded kid and I purse my lips, my heart beginning to soften. 

Ha, if he’s this cute and hot and obedient, someone wouldn’t be able to keep being mad for too long. I turn to the edge of my bed where a towel was lying and I begin to wipe the blood off of him. “You also shouldn’t kill people while you’re staying here. Haven’t I told you that before?” I recalled and Enoch leans into my touch whilst nodding his head. 

Big baby. 

“Did you kill any of them there? Tell me the truth.” I stare straight into those emerald eyes, trying to penetrate them for answers. Enoch shakes his head, a smile slowly forming on his lips. “No, because Taryn said no.” 

My heart quickened once more. There it is again, he’s saying more words than usual. A smile unconsciously curves into my lips. It’s definitely a step closer to him being fully healed! 

“How would you even know they didn’t die when you were just throwing and punching them all around?” I chuckle to myself as I struggle scrubbing one spot of his shoulders where the blood has dried up. 

As if the wind has shifted, I glance up to Enoch’s emerald eyes which somehow turned numb–scary and dangerous. If you indeed look at the abyss for long, it will begin to look back at you. 

A smirk, a psychotic–looking one formed on Enoch’s lips, completely erasing his naive look. “Because I didn’t hit them where they’d die.” He mutters. 

What? 

My palms began to sweat onto the towel, freezing on top of his shoulders. It was quick. It was no more than a second i his face switched back to the naive, innocent man I saved not too long ago in the woods. 

Who… who was that?

Chapter 18 

Then it hit me. 

What do I really know about this man? 

Raising him for a couple of weeks is one, but we’re basically strangers. With him losing his memory. I don’t know for sure if he’s anything dangerous. If he’s going to regain his memory, will he… will he kill me? 

“Taryn?” I hear the door creak open again and I’m pulled out of my thoughts as the girl earlier peeks her head between the door. “R–right… I’ll be right out.” I hesitantly smile before glancing down at Enoch knelt before me.
