SAVED BY THE LYCAN KING (Elisa)

"Follow me" he said. I swallowed hard. I followed Ferris till we got to a door. He opened the door, revealing a big luxurious looking room. He guided me inside, and I stood there.

"Wait here," Ferris said. He stepped out of the room for a moment and returned with a maid following close behind.

"Take care of her," he instructed the maid "Make sure she has everything she needs." The maid nodded. Before I could say anything else, Ferris left the room, banging the door behind him. I was more confused than ever. What the hell just happened?

FERRIS' POV

As I left Elise's room, I felt more annoyed than before.

I couldn't believe the audacity of Jackson, the sheer nerve of him to want to lay a hand on Elise.

My fists were still clenched, and I could feel the heat of my fury coursing through my veins. I needed to calm down, to clear my head, and think rationally about what to do next. I made my way to my office and closed the door behind me, shutting out the world.

I sank into the chair behind my desk. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, all centered around Elise. Has Jackson hit her before? The thought of Elise being hurt my Jackson made me clench my fists so tightly that my mails drew blood.

I went to the palace to see Jackson because I heard he was waiting for me for a while. Imagine I didn't show up when I did. What would have happened? He would have hurt her. Elise's face flashed in my mind. The sight of her eyes wide with fear filled my mind. I couldn't shake the image, and it only increased my anger.

But alongside that anger was something else. There was something deeper and more confusing. I had a powerful attraction to Elise that I couldn't deny. Her scent still lingered in my mind, a mix of Jasmine, vanilla and something uniquely her. It was intoxicating.

My wolf became restless, craving her presence. I let out a frustrated sigh and ran a hand through my hair. This wasn't like me. I was always, in contro always composed. But Elise had turned my world upside down. I felt a connection to her that I had never felt with anyone else.

I was pulled to her in a way that I couldn't explain. My wolf growled in agreement, yearning for her touch her scent, her everything. I needed to clear my head, to channel this energy into something else. D decided to head to the arena. Training always helped me regain my focus, and right now, I needed that more than ever.

The arena was empty when I arrived. I made my way to the punching bag. Wrapping my hands in tape, I positioned myself in front of the bag and took a deep breath. With each punch, I imagined Jackson's face.

Each punch was a release of my pent-up anger. The bag swung back and forth due to my heavy punches, but it wasn't enough. Nothing seemed to be enough to stop my annoyance

"How dare he?" I growled under my breath, landing a hard punch. The more I thought about it, the more my fury grew. He had hurt Elise, and for that, he would pay.

But even as I pounded the bag, I couldn't ignore the other emotions within me. I felt things towards Elise that I couldn't explain - protectiveness, longing, the undeniable need to be near Elise.noveldrama

It was driving me crazy. After what felt like hours, I finally stopped. Sweat poured down my face and soaked my shirt, but the work out had done little to calm my mind.

I leaned against the bag, trying to catch my breath. Suddenly, a guard appeared at the entrance to the arena.

He bowed his head at me. "King Ferris," he said "There's a situation outside your residence." I straightened up.

"What is it?" I demanded, wiping the sweat from my brow. "It's Elise's parents," the guard explained. "They're demanding to see her."
