My Sweet, Tyrant Lycan Mate

Chapter Twenty-Five

Seducing the Lycan King

Lily’s POV

I woke up the next morning to the sound of the doorbell ringing. Climbing out of bed and giving Zack a quick kiss on the cheek, I got myself dressed to see who was at the door.

When I opened it, I wasn’t expecting a scared young woman, She looked like she was in her early 20s or something.

“Can I help you?” I asked calmly.

“Yes... Um…” It looked like she was about to cry. “I… I’m the sister of one of the boys His Majesty killed. My name is Isabella.”

I gave her a sympathetic look. “I’m so sorry, Isabella…”

Isabella shook her head. “No, it’s not your fault. They shouldn’t have offended His Majesty and hurt you.”

Isabella continued. “I’m here because Alpha Leo forced me to be here… He told me that I needed to serve the Lycan King as an apology and beg for forgiveness on behalf of my pack…”

I felt sorry for her, I did, but I felt like something wasn’t right about her story. She spoke about Alpha Leo sending her here to be Zack’s maid, which, I would’ve believed.

But Zack had been with me all day yesterday and he never got a call about expecting someone new.

On top of that, she didn’t have anything with her aside from the unusually large jacket she wore. Still, I thought that maybe it was going to be a trial day and was sort of a last-minute decision.

I gave Isabella a sympathetic look, despite being suspicious of her. “Please, come in. I’ve been his maid for a while now, so I’ll be sure to help guide you so you can avoid his mood swings.”

Isabella smiled and stepped inside. Looking around, she went into the living room and took off her jacket.

Underneath her jacket was a strapless, form-hugging, short dress. It was a velvet red color and had a slit at the side of her leg.

Isabella looked at me and gave me a shy smile. “I was told to look my best for His Majesty and this is what they gave me… I think it’s too much.”

I kindly shook my head. “I’m sure His Majesty will appreciate you putting effort into your appearance!” Even though I agreed—it was too much.

Before she could say anything else, I excused myself. “I’ll be back. I need to make sure that His Majesty’s clothing is ready for the day.”

Isabella nodded and remained downstairs. But as I ran up the stairs, I heard her shuffling around. It was odd because I had never been able to hear small stuff before.

I shrugged it off and hurried to see Zack. Something was wrong about Isabella.

When I went into the room, Zack was already awake and sitting at the edge of the bed. There was an irritated look on his face.

“Someone’s in our house.”

I nodded my head. “I need you to mindlink with me, now. It’s important, I promise.”

Zack gave me a crazy look but eventually shrugged his shoulders and agreed. He stood up and walked up to me, then pressed his forehead against mine.

In just a few seconds, I felt his presence in my head, and I could feel my own in his. So now, we could talk to each other telepathically.

“What’s going on?” Zack’s voice was filled with concern.

“I think Alpha Leo sent a spy here… She might be trying to get to you.” I shook my head. “Just follow me, I’ll show you what I mean.”

“Are you telling me what to do?” Zack’s voice was playful.

“Yes, I am. Now come on!” I rolled my eyes and led him downstairs.

As we got to the bottom floor, I played my role as just a regular maid, instead of his mate. Because I had gotten so comfortable with him over the past few weeks, I had to remember to be more conservative with how I spoke.

“Just keep an eye out for her and her mannerisms.”

“Isabella, right?” Zack spoke. “My maid tells me you’re my newest servant sent by Alpha Leo.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Isabella bowed but not in a typical respectful way.

“Look, she’s poking out her chest and arching her back!”

“Is someone getting jealous?” Zack teased.

“I was sent here as an apology gift to you, and to help make amends for what my pack did to offend you and miss Lily.”

“Just play along with whatever she says and wants, okay? I think there’s more to this story than she’s letting on…” I warned Zack.

Zack nodded his head. “Hm, Alpha Leo should already know I chose my maid out of the 100 he had sent to me a month ago.”

“Alpha Leo thought you could use another hands-on maid.” Isabella smiled sweetly and batted her eyelashes.

“Lily.” Zack’s voice rang in my head. “What’s your favorite room in the house?”

I was taken aback by his question but then thought about it. “I love books, so… I think the library room.”

“Go into our room and start moving your things in there. I have a plan but I need you to leave the room and prepare, okay?”

I nodded my head. “Excuse me, Your Majesty. I’ll be starting on the daily chores now.”

Zack nodded his head coldly and waved at me dismissively.

After I left the room, I went to go do exactly as he said and began moving my belongings into the library room. It was on the complete opposite side of the mansion and was practically in solitude from the other living quarters.

As I was moving everything, I heard Zack’s voice ring in my head.

“Oh yeah, Isabella turned up the charm as soon you left.” Zack sounded annoyed. “She’s been non-stop with the sex jokes and innuendos. She definitely is looking to replace you.”

I rolled my eyes. “Well, let’s make her believe that she will.”

After I got done moving my things, I went downstairs and saw Isabella on her knees between Zack’s legs. Her hands were on his thighs, too.

“I can’t believe you!” I shouted and pointed my fingers at Zack. “How could you do this to me?!”

Zack scoffed. “What the hell are you talking about?”

I pointed at Isabella. “That! Her! Are you serious right now?!”

Zack shrugged his shoulders. “Isabella said she was offering herself as a gift, to please me, and to say sorry.” He stroked her hair gently and placed his finger under her chin.

“The fuck is your problem anyway?”

“I was the maid you chose! After all that time and everything I’ve done, I’m supposed to be your only maid!” I almost cried.

“A king can have as many maids as he chooses!” Zack roared.

Zack stomped towards me and grabbed me by my throat and lifted me off the ground. Anger and fire were in his eyes.

“Are you okay? I’m not hurting you too much am I?”

I struggled against his grip. “I’m okay, I promise.”

Zack nodded his head. “I won’t stand for your petty fucking jealousy, Lily! You think just because you were the last one standing that suddenly you’re special?” He barked a laugh.

But then Zack’s expression turned ice cold. “You will pay for your insolence,” he growled.

As Zack dragged me up the stairs by my throat, I looked back at Isabella who had a smirk on her face as she waved.

Goodbye, Isabella mouthed at me.
