LESLIE’S POVI tried as much as I could to forget about what Morgan said to me, but his words were so threatening that I turned to look at him each time I was certain that he wasn’t staring. Mr. Crane led us to one of the traps he set, and we saw that it had caught a big antelope.“There you are! Knew I was going to get you someday!” He said proudly and gestured to the guards who ended the life of the poor animal who was barely clinging to life.“I once hit it with my spear, but it only got to its feet. It escaped narrowly.” He explained, watching with a smug look while the guards tied the animal to a long stick and carried it behind us.We continued moving, but we had only taken a few steps when we heard the sound of swift movements in front of us.“I think we are about to see something huge,” Morgan suggested, but Mr. Crane shook his head at once.“No, Morgan. That didn’t sound like an animal at all.” Max was certain of his words, and I believed himWhat I heard sounded so heavy t

LESLIE’S POV Mr. Crane was right. He had already asked the guards who were to accompany him on his hunting adventure to make arrangements for two.They brought different weapons and asked me to make a choice. Mr. Crane watched me as I picked a crossbow made of oakwood and iron.That was the same weapon my father used when he was still alive, and I had gotten good mastery of it.“Good choice; I would have picked that one if I were you.” Mr. Crane nodded, but I silently adjusted the gear of the crossbow and checked to see if it was going to make me miss my target.“I knew you had that spirit in you. There is something about you, Nara.”“What are we hunting?” I asked, completely ignoring everything he said.“We are hunting whatever we see in the forest, Nara.”“Including birds?”“Yes, including birds. Especially the big ones.” He grabbed the spear one of the guards had brought for him and looked at it for a while.“This spear was given to me by my father. It was the last gift he gave

LESLIE’S POVThe sound of whispers kept on resounding in my ears, but I heard nothing.Then my eyes opened, and I realized that I was dreaming. Nothing had made sense to me ever since I arrived at the Lycan territory. The dreams had become so constant that I knew something was wrong.“ Mr. Crane has asked me to call you.” One of the two servants who walked into the room said. It seemed like they had been waiting for me to wake.“What does he want?” I asked, and they were completely surprised at how I spoke about Mr. Crane, whom everyone was afraid of.“ Mr. Crane says that this is very important.” The other servant said, and I could already see the fear written on their faces. Max must have given them a stern warning to make sure that I obeyed his instruction.“Tell him that I will be with him shortly.” I waited for them to leave, but they only exchanged glances with each other and remained standing.I sighed and stretched myself almost at the same time. I wasn’t sure if I got enoug

LESLIE’S POVCatherine had all her attention on me, and it didn’t look like she was willing to let go of whatever grudge she had for me.I was certain that she would have strangled me if she had the chance to. But I could only stand there and act like I wasn’t the reason why she was furious.“She is not a peasant, Catherine. Her name is Nara.” Mr. Crane said calmly, but it didn’t look like she cared about that. The only thing on her mind was to send me away, far away from her supposed King.“Send her away! She doesn’t belong here!” She growled, making gestures of fury with her hands and her chest.“She has done nothing wrong for us to send her away, Catherine. You should let her stay.” Mr. Crane was very calm with his response, but she wasn’t having it.His response made her temper rise, and she looked at me like I had done something to make Max insist that I stay.“What does she have that I don’t? Has she warmed your bed?”“That’s enough, Catherine!” Mr. Crane was displeased by wh

LESLIE’S POV“Whatever this gathering is for, my mind is not made up to attend,” I grumbled, but it didn’t seem like I had any choice.Also, my curiosity lingered, and I wanted to know why the Crane Billionaire was so insistent that I was present at the gathering.“One would imagine that it wasn’t you who had that fire burning inside you a while ago.” That was him, and I didn’t even realize that he had walked into the room.Maybe I had been so drawn into my thoughts that I failed to feel his presence.“You look very beautiful.” He said, but I failed to show him any form of appreciation.My face remained the way it was, plain and unready to smile.“You know we are bonded to each other, Nara. We have the same fire burning in us.”“Then I will have to find a way to quench it,” I smirked at him, taking two steps backward the moment I saw that he was moving toward me.“That can only happen if you are a direct descendant of the moon goddess. Unfortunately, we don’t get to choose who our Lov

LESLIE’S POVThe day went like someone was causing it to move faster.Nightfall was set, and it was time for the unprepared gathering Mr. Crane had spoken of. From the way he had spoken about it, it seemed like the most important thing at that moment.I had been given a well-furnished room to stay in; it was so large that I felt like I wasn’t meant to stay there alone.Two servants knocked on the door soon after and came in without waiting to hear my response.“ Mr. Crane sent us…” One of them said, and then together they presented the items they had come with.There was a nice dress made from silk, a nice necklace with a golden pendant, and two lovely shoes that almost looked like they were made for the Queen of the Lycans.The servants saw that I was struggling to put on the shoes, and they whispered with slight giggles when they thought I wasn’t looking.Curiously, I turned to one of them as soon as I was done and asked, “What is happening tonight? Why is everyone in a hurry?”I
