The Unwanted Daughter’s Alpha King
Chapter 82
I left the dungeons with more questions than answers. Ethan hadn’t been clear about what the legends were when I had asked him about them. He had said there were quite a few, and he didn’t know which ones were true necessarily. There were things we were very clearly missing, but I couldn’t seem to pinpoint what they were.
The moon was at its full height as I moved to the Leon’s quarters subconsciously. When I finally reached his door, I hesitated for a moment before knocking.
Heather opened the door after a long couple of minutes with a sleepy look in her eyes and I felt bad that I was pulling Leon away from his family again like I had done so often these past few weeks. But I needed him then, just like I needed him now.
“Alpha, you are aware that it is the middle of the night, and if you had woken our kids, we would have had a major problem, right?”
I smiled. Very few people talked to me like I was a normal person, but Heather never held back her thoughts.
“I’m sorry, Heather, but I need to see-‘
“Leon,” She cut me off, rolling her eyes. “Yes, yes, I know,” She waved me to follow her inside so she could wake her husband. “You better be paying him overtime for all this
extra work.”
“I’m sorry about all the extra work…” I apologized.
“Well, it’s not like he really wants to be around right now anyway,” She sighed, and I remembered how it was only a few weeks ago that he had found out Caleb had slept with his wife. “But he can’t avoid me or throw himself into work for forever. But enough about our troubles. Clearly you have enough on your mind. Let me go wake him up.”
“Heather, if you need to talk, you know I’m here for you, right?”
“Thanks, but I’m fine,” She said with a small sad smile. “Let me go get my husband.”
I stood in the family room surrounded by the life Leon had created and wondered if I was a part of the problem. Clearly, I was not as in control of my reign and my life as I had always thought.

Chapter 82
“Middle of the night calls now, really?” Leon called out bitterly when he walked in and grabbed his coat.
“Yes.” I replied simply, opening the door for us to head out. “It’s important.”
“It never not is,” Leon sighed, leading us to my office. “What’s up?”
“I don’t even know where to start,” I said honestly as I sat down and poured myself a drink and then another for Leon. “But I guess let’s start with the most concerning thing to me… I went to talk to Ethan about what was going on and how Kinsley and Adrian could have found Grace, and he offered quite a bit of information… However, I don’t know
what’s the truth. It’s like he’s just giving crumbs.”
“I mean that sort of makes sense… He wants to be seen as useful so we don’t just get rid
of him. He’s being smart by keeping us on our toes.” Leon defended the 21–year–old.
I hated that he was right, but that did make some sense. It’s what I would do in that situation, so why would I be surprised when someone else was trying the same tactic?
“But irrelevant,” Leon waved it off. “What did Ethan say to you that caused you to wake
me up in the middle of the night?”
“He told me that there is more than one way to create a Lycan. You don’t have to be born to Lycan parents, it can be created… He said he wasn’t sure which legends were true, but that there was one that tended be spoken of the most…”
“Oh my god,” Leon stood up abruptly, “I’ll be right back!”
