Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 142
Zenovia
I looked up at Sid with wide eyes and then back at the image in front of
“When did this happen?”
“Two days ago” He answered.
Shit.
It was a massacre. A gruesome one. Bodies were lying everywhere but the fact
that the corpses were covered in blood was not what was horrifying.
It was the fact that all of them were killed in a very unique way. The bodies were
strewn around the place, blood pooling around from a single wound or rather
double wounds from the faces of all those who were dead.
Their eyes had been gouged out but the rest of the body was devoid of any signs
of torture or injury. It was as if somebody plucked out their eyes but left the rest of
the body intact.
It made my stomach churn and I could not look at it for more than a minute.
Thankfully, I did not find any familiar faces among them which was a relief.
Sid let me stare at the image for a second before adding.
“Now you see why I did not want to send it to you on the phone.”
I nodded my head.
Yet there were a few things I did not understand.
“What pack do they belong to?” I inquired.
“I am not too sure. The packs are trying to keep it hush and also from letting the
news reach the Lycan King?
“Why? He would try to help them.”
Sid took a pause and answered.
“It could be that they don't trust him anymore and want to take matters into their
own hands or that they fear he would snap their necks for letting the Rogue King
claim innocent lives.”
I mustered some courage and dared to look at the picture again.
“Their eyes were gouged out but that wouldn't kill a person, right? I don’t see any
sign of violence or injuries on the rest of the body of the corpses.”
Sid smiled. “Good observation. I noticed that too. And somehow I fear that he
might want to target you again and you would be reckless enough to want to fight
him.”
Huh. He thought I was brave? I had not even been able to fight him the last time
he tried to drug me.
As if reading my thoughts, he added.
“Bravery is not just when you fight. It is when you take a stand against the wrong.
I am beginning to see the subtle changes in your behavior and attitude. For the
love of Goddess, I came here to warn you to not go looking for him. He is a
psychopath, Zen.”
For the love of Goddess...if only I had any love left for her.
The cogs in my brain were starting to turn. An idea was taking shape in my mind.
“The Rogue King did that for sure but why? He has been silent for all these days
and suddenly he starts killing people out of the blue? That makes no sense.”
Sid rubbed his left temple with a finger before answering.
“He has not been silent all these days. His earlier plan of separating the young
ones from their homes did not go down as well as he had hoped for.”
I titted my head, “What do you mean?’
“When he came up with that plan, he thought the lycan King would come looking
for him. He thought the Lycan King would be desperate and want to negotiate a
truce or talk. Sadly, King Callahan never showed any signs of doing so.”
“May 1?” I asked and Sid nodded as I pulled his phone towards me and began
looking at other images in his phone. It was rude to simply start scrolling through
the images on somebody else’s phone without asking permission.
I had my manners. However, Sid did not bother checking what I was doing with
his phone as he continued.
Instead, he looked at the menu and ordered sandwiches, fries and juice for both
of us.
“No, I am not hungry, Sid.” I waved my hands off when he repeatedly asked me
what I would like to have.
Sid changed his order and ordered just juice for me while he kept his order same.
In fact, he doubled it.
I ignored the urge to ask him why he was eating so much at this hour and waited
for his answer to my earlier question.
When he saw me looking at him expectantly, he began.
“The Rogue King expected the parents of the kids to pressure the Lycan King to
give in to his demands so that he could have an easy way out, but Callahan did
no such thing. I assume he was ready to let a few kids die and see how far the
Rogue King would go.”
At that I shook my head.
“Callahan would never let innocent people die, at least not willingly. He had his
men look after the kids from a distance and had ordered them to take action if
anybody tried to harm them.”
“That's what the Rogue King thought too...I mean about not letting the kids die
part. But turns out Callahan did not budge in all these months that the kids left
their homes. The Rogue King wanted him flustered and miserable. But the Lycan
King turned him anxious. He carried out his meetings and lived his life as if
nothing had ever happened. No party was sent to search for the Rogue King I
think. Even I am surprised how the Lycan King let that slide. He is supposed to
protect us after all.”
“You don’t know what the Lycan King has gone through, Sid. And I am sure you
don't expect him to make his plans public so that it would easily reach the Rogue
King’s ears.”
Sid nodded. “Fair point. I would still say King Callahan has really not been paying
attention.”
I narrowed my eyes at Sid.
“Speaking ill about your King while you lounge calmly in that chair is kind of low,
you know that, right?”
Sid straightened his back but did not say anything further.
I recall Callahan always being buried in files and meetings. He did not even eat
or sleep much while he was trying to figure out how to solve the issue peacefully.
Then there was the fact that the Rogue King had not really left any solid clues
that led to him. There were confusing ones that would make Callahan's men go
round and round in circles.

It was always good to have an element of surprise.
“So he decided to leave a more violent message for Callahan?” I inquired.
Sid shrugged, “Seems like it.”
I had been scrolling through the gallery and I saw a photo of our living room
where my father was seated with Luna Celeste.
They were having dinner and father appeared to be a bit tense. His health had
declined. There were bags under his eyes and his cheeks seemed hollow. He
had lost weight as well.
My fingers hovered over the image for a second as I looked at the most recent
image of my father before swiping it away.
And then there was another image of my cabin, the place I had been calling my
home before I was thrown out of the house after Luna Celeste
The cabin was just like I had seen it last time but in a better condition. The room
was not in an abandoned state but was clean and not turned into a storehouse.
A lump began to form in my throat that I quickly swallowed before pushing the
phone in Sid's direction. If he noticed my reaction, he did not say anything.
“Now the more important question- how does he know you? And how do you
have these images?”
Sid crouched further and lowered his voice to a whisper after glancing around to
see that the other customers were not eavesdropping.

After learning all about the Moon Goddess and the First Children, the threat
posed by the Rogue King did not scare me anymore but I did fear losing
Callahan. He did not deserve any more hatred or rivalry.
He deserved to live his life quietly and in peace.
“Am 1?” I asked, a bit too sharply.
