THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 377

“And that's it?” Kyle is the first to speak. I calmly nod my head as I say;

“Yes, that's it.” In a very dry tone. “She didn't give me a name. She said he wore a mask or had her blindfolded whenever he came to see her, so she didn't see his face and when I tried to ask if she could trace her way back to the house where she was locked up, she said she couldn’t and started crying. That's all I got from her.”

“So, she was locked up and in a dungeon cell all alone and tortured for five good years and she survived? She came out from that cell with all her brain cells still intact? I don't believe it.”

“What are you insinuating?”

“Did you not stress on the importance of this investigation to her?”

“I did… but she was crying and she looked so fragile and pitiful .. I couldn't…”

“Exactly. That's her game!”

“What game?” I ask, curious as I keep my gaze glued on his face. He's fuming. It's just a matter of time before steam starts flying out of his ears. Why is he so agitated about this issue?

“Why won't she talk? She claims to have been locked up and tortured for five years, why won't she say anything beyond that? Anyone who experiences such a brutal treatment and escapes will want revenge, especially when he or she meets people who are ready to execute that revenge with her. Why is her case different? Why does she just want to bury everything and move on?”

“I do not have answers to that question, Kyle.” I say in a tired tone.

“Alpha Reagan, I'm sorry to use this tone on you, but I really don't feel good about this girl's sudden return. It's bugging me.”

“It's bugging me too, Kyle.”

“Exactly why we have to investigate on our own, My Lord. I have been waiting, hoping she'll say something that could lead us somewhere, but since it's evident that she doesn't want to talk or tell us the truth, I’ll do things my way and we both know my way has never failed!” He concludes with his stone called eyes fixed on my face.

I'm speechless.

“That said…” He continues. “If you'll permit me, I'd like to take my leave now. I have work to commence with.”
