<b>Chapter </b>96
Nyssa pov
I think I had doned off at one point without meaning to and woken up again, only to do off a second time.
I wasn’t sure how many times I had forced my eyes open, but sure enough, this was my punishment for actually drinking in broad daylight while in the car, headed to a far off destination.
I mean, what was I even thinking? I hadn’t even gotten to the king’s pack yet, and I was already setting myself up to be hungover
But do you want to know the worst part of it all?
As I kept driting off and waking up<b>, </b><b>I </b><b>kept </b>snoring <b>and </b>every time I woke, there was drool at theer of my lips.
It was embarrassing Really embarrassing.
I tried to stop it the first time. And the second. But I must have been truly exhausted, because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop myself from dozing off… snoring… and drooling
So at one point… I gave up.
“Zzzz,” i snored, my head falling to the side as the car glided down the road. But when it bumped against the window<b>, </b>I snorted, peeled my eyes open, and blinked away the drowsiness.
Instinctively I wiped the drool from the corner of my lips and yawned, shaking my head, trying to see if this time would stay fully awake. But when I still felt sleepy, I sighed and gotfortable at the head of the car, leaning my head against the seat before closing my eyes and falling asleep once again, letting the exhaustion take over.
These past few weeks had been really draining from nning to kill myself at the beginning, to framing Aria and Kieran, to trying to hide that was al white wolf…<b>only </b>to eventually get caught by Darius
Then there was him dering he wouldn’t reject me, but that I’d have to follow him to his pack.
And then…actually killing Ana.
And letting Kieran slip away from my <b>grip</b>.
it was really exhausting.
This time, twasn’t sure how long I had slept, but <b>it </b>must have been longer because of thefortable pillow beneath my head
leaning </b>against.
The corners of my lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile as I smacked my lips and curled up in the seat, adjusting my head on the pillow beneath meas
Isnored.
I could hear distant <b>voice </b>around me, but for some reason, I assumed it was just Serena walking into my room to wake me up
So, I ignored her
I moved closer to the pillow and murmured under my breath,
“I’ve heard you<b>, </b>Serena be up soon…just give me a few minutes.”
I refused to open my eyes, knowing <b>full </b>well that once I did, I wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep.
“Mydy…”

Serena’s voice became clearer, and I pouted, rolling my face further into the pillow to ignore her. But then, I couldn’t help but frown
<b>Why </b>did the pillow feel <b>so </b>soft and hard at the same time?
If I had to describe it… it felt like
Bones?
A humanpt
“Goddess, I never thought I’d see this day. A woman is <b>actually </b>using the king’s thighs as a pillow!”
<b>Cassian’s </b>amused and <b>excited </b>voice sliced through the air, making me freeze instantly
All the drowsiness flew out the window in one second.
Oh My Goddess.
It wasn’t just a human’s <bp </b>
It was the king’sp!
I shot up faster than ever had in my entire life and, in the moment, stumbled off the seat and hit the ground <b>but </b>the pain that shot through me was nothingpared to the sheer embarrassment I felt as I stared at the white haired man before me.
He fucked his emotionless gaze toward me, his eyes narrowed–nk, unreadable, and cold.
Just a nk stare.
My heart pounded. No, my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach as I held his gaze for goddess knows how long until Serena’s soft voice brought me crashing back to the present
“M–Mydy,” she called out gently
Ishifted my gare and found not only her but everyone, standing at the door of the car, all eyes fixed on me..
Serena looked worried as she stared at me
Cassian looked amused… and smug
Drake couldn’t even meet my eyes as he looked away, the car earlier.
Zayn tilted his head, his gaze flickeringt
ears clearly pink and something told me it was because he’d heard exactly what had happened in
between the Lycan King and me, his eyes narrowed with curiosity or maybe <b>suspicion</b>.
At that moment, my face flushed a deep shade of pink, and I wished for nothing more than for the ground to <b>open </b><b>up </b>and swallow me whole especially when <b>Cassian </b>chuckled, his gaze flickering down toward Darius’s pants.
“You must’ve had a really great <b>nap</b>, miss<b>,</b>” he said with a mischievous grin. “Especially since you were drooling all over the king. Hehe
My eyes widened as I followed his gare, only to seg that the cheeky bastard wasn’t joking
I <b>had </b>actually been drooling… all <b>over </b><b>Darius </b>
Igasped and pped <b>a </b>hand <b>over </b>my mouth.
“Oh my goddess! -I thought <b>you </b>were a plow. I’m <b>so </b>sorry, my king!” I stammered, more horrified than embarrassed.
This only made Casuan chuckle more

“Wow, the king’sp must really be afortable pillow” be joked, but quickly clear his throat and lower his head.
“I apologize for teasing you, miss. We’ve actually arrived at the pack about two minu
I narrowed my eyes at his words.
They had been trying to wake me up for two whole minutes and I still wouldn’t wake up?
Just how deep into sleep was!!
“That is enough. Let’s go, Darius <b>finally </b>spoke, and I blinked, watching

Cassian didn’t seem to care though, because he turned back to me and quickly:
“I’ll see you soon, miss. A maid will show you to your room.”
With that, he walked off after Darius, and Drake gave a small bow before following a
Zayn shot me a kind smile and lowered his head slightly before turning to leave too
Serena sighed softly and reached out her hand for me to take.
I wiped the drool with the sleeve of my dress and epted her hand.

The breath seemed to leave my lungs as I stared at therge mansion in front of me
