登入C79: The True Culprit /Ember They got to Lucian's tent, four royal guards were stationed outside his tent with two more patrolling.The moment they saw Leonard, they bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Commander."Leonard gave them a small nod before walking toward the entrance.Liya and Fina tried to follow him but the two guards positioned a few steps from the tent immediately crossed their hands, blocking their way. "My apologies. You're not allowed to enter the Grand Prince's tent,” one of them said.Fina slowly nodded in awe.Leonard stopped and glanced back."They're with me, let them in,” he said calmly, the guards pressed their lips together.Leonard nearly rolled his eyes. "They've come to visit Raine as well."The guards exchanged brief glances before stepping aside. "As you command."Liya blinked softly, ‘Raine would surely be safe from Maya here’ she thought as they entered the tent quietly.The tent was quiet and peaceful except for the soft, faint breathing that filled the
C78: A Clueless Pup And An Old Male Leonard was leading the group back to the campsite with Kaizen riding a short distance behind him, he suddenly heard loud hoofbeats approaching from the opposite direction.He instinctively slowed his horse and looked ahead.A white horse was coming with great speed, he squinted his eyes. “Lucian?” He muttered under his breath.The moment the Grand Prince's black horse recognized its master, it neighed loudly and immediately ran toward him.Lucian slowed the white horse and reached out, gently patting the black horse's neck."Nyx, you must have been searching for me," he muttered before climbing down from the white horse.Nyx neighed again and lowered her head, Lucian nodded still rubbing its head.Leonard was the first to stop since he had been riding ahead of everyone else.He frowned slightly. “Lucian? Where are you going? I've been searching for you." Leonard asked all at once.Lucian took hold of his black horse's reins before looking at him.
C77: A Threat That May Come TrueOnce the participants heard the whistling sound the signal carried they looked up and saw it, knowing it was time to stop hunting they began guiding their horses toward the clearing as Kaizen had instructed.Each participant had their prey tied securely behind their saddle.Liya and Fina had just finished tying down the two wild deer they hunted together.The moment Liya saw the signal, she immediately mounted her horse."Let's go," she said quietly. Fina nodded and mounted hers as well.Liya's thoughts remained on Raine.Prince Kaizen had told her he would find Raine, but she wouldn't feel at ease until she saw Raine herself.She hit her horse with her heels, urging it to move faster. Within a few minutes they got to the clearing.Liya was a bit surprised to see everyone had already arrived.Some were proudly showing off their prey while others chatted happily among themselves.She moved forward, her eyes moving from one participant to another, hopin
C76: The White-Leaved Moonherb Lucian remained beside Raine for a few more minutes before finally standing up. His gaze lingered on her pale face for a while. "I will be back soon," he muttered softly and kissed her forehead. He turned around and went to the sword stand and picked up his shiny black sword. He never loved using swords, he believed in his claws because that was what he thought was befitting for whoever betrayed or went against him. He remembered the physician's words, he needed to keep his beast in check and fight with the sword, even though he wouldn't guarantee it would work, he left the tent after a glance at Raine. The guards outside immediately straightened and bowed. Lucian walked past them without stopping. He decided to meet the Lycan King first, he had to fulfill his part. The murmurs around the campsite gradually died down as everyone noticed the Grand Prince approaching again. The Lycan King looked at him calmly. "How is she?” Lucian stopp
C75: Poisonous ClawLucian arrived at the campsite with a gush of wind, startling almost everyone present.The guards turned in the direction of the wind only to find the Grand Prince and a female in his arms.The nobles looked at him in surprise, while the twin generals rushed to his side."Your Highness, what happened?" Darian asked immediately."Who injured her?" Darielle asked as her eyes fell on the blood staining Raine's shirt.Lucian walked past them without slowing down, "Get the Royal Physician. Now.” He ordered in a sharp tone. Darian nodded immediately and left, while Darielle followed him.The elders noticed him and furrowed their brows, they muttered calmly within themselves.The Lycan king noticed it and turned to the side. His gaze landed on Raine then to her blood stained shirt, his eyes narrowed sharply, "What happened?" he asked calmly, but there was still a trace of worry in it.Lucian finally stopped, he tightened his grip on Raine slightly. His anger softened as h
C74: Bared Feelings The moment its massive body fell aside, it revealed the figure that had gutted its heart out. Raine stared at the two-colored eyes glowing radiantly. She blinked slowly as the sight before her registered in her mind. The Grand Prince stood there with blood covering one arm. His eyes glowed brightly as his beast lingered close to the surface. The calm and controlled Male she knew was nowhere to be seen. Only a dangerous predator stood before her. A deadly smile rested on his lips as he crushed the remains of the beast's heart in his hand. Raine kept watching him as blood dripped to the ground from his palm. For a few moments neither of them moved. Lucian's attention turned back to her once he was done crushing the heart and let the little piece in his hand fall. His chest rose and fell heavily. She had heard of his brutality and bloodlust, that was what she witnessed now. The thrill in his eyes when he crushed the beast's heart, the dangerous smile on his

Chapter 45: Flustered Raine “Alright.” Raine muttered softly. Lucian’s gaze remained on her for a moment longer before he finally gestured toward the empty seat beside him. “Sit.” She carefully lowered herself onto the chair beside him. Immediately, she became aware of how close they were.
