02. The Ruthless Lycan Prince

The ruthless Lycan Prince.

The man she had been trying to hide for years. He was standing right in front of her now.

Amelia saw his barbaric eyes wandering all over her body with that vicious smirk on his face. He started taking his predatory steps closer to her which made Amelia drag herself backward while being on the ground.

“D…don't. Stay there,” her words stuttered. All her life, she had been horrified of witnessing this moment when this cruel man would catch her and he finally did.

Her nightmare had found her.

Suddenly, Amelia felt her arms getting gripped and she was forced to stand up on her feet. 

“Leave me. Don't touch me,” Amelia shouted at those Lycans, who were holding her arms.

“Leave me,” her words and struggles turned Callum's grin more predatory. Now he could clearly smell her scent of roses and lavender. He could clearly feel and identify her presence which her mate bond had been protecting from him all this time.

“No…leave me. Leave me,” tears filled her eyes as those Lycans didn’t free her from their grips.

“Leave her,” he uttered, smirking.

“We can’t dare to go against our wolf princess’s orders,” he spoke out, grinning more wickedly at her. 

Amelia witnessed those Lycans aggressively pushing her away at his words and she directly landed in the arms of their brutal prince. She clutched his clothes to maintain her balance and his body felt stone hard to her, which startled Amelia but suddenly she realised something else too.

That mark on her chest had stopped burning and hurting in his embrace and she was feeling calm and normal now. But how? She could receive the cure of this pain only in the arms of her own fated mate then why this pain faded in the embrace of this ruthless man?

Amelia slowly took her head upward and found his diabolic eyes already on her. He looked more fatal from this close but she continued to stare into his eyes, unaware of how she had been holding onto him.

“I hope you are aware of who I am and what I am going to do to you, princess,” his deep voice snapped her back to reality. She looked down and finally realised she had been holding him like her life existed in him.

She immediately let go of his clothes and then backed away.

“I know who you are and what do you want from me but be man enough to pay for your own actions,” she tried to show her bravery because she had heard that the royal Lycan family had received that curse of infertility because of their own cruel doings and somehow her own life got attached to that curse.

“Already started questioning my manliness, wolf princess?” he took his steps closer to her whereas his words widened her eyes. She didn’t mean it like that.

Stopping right in front of her, he lowered his head and pushed it closer to hers.

“How about I show you how much of a man I am before killing you tonight?” He uttered to her with a devilish smirk and Amelia’s head immediately understood what he meant by those words of his.

Terror washed over her. She instantly recoiled back, making him chuckle.

“Seems like the wolf princess is terrified of knowing what kind of a man I am,” his words made the other Lycans laugh too who were the guards of the Lycans royal castle.

“Leave the princess,” Amelia saw that man, who was screaming for help, getting in between her and the Lycan Prince.

“Let her g….” That man couldn’t even complete his words and Amelia cupped her mouth in horror by seeing him grabbing the neck of that man and tearing him in two. 

The man’s blood splashed all over his face and body, frightening her soul. How could someone be this feral?

With his clenched jaw, Callum threw that man’s body on the ground and then looked at her. His smirk came back by seeing that look of horror on her face.

He took his remaining steps closer to her, who had completely frozen in her place. Her glossy eyes were fixed at that man’s torn body.

“Did this scare, my wolf princess?” Callum whispered in her ear. She remained numb.

“He decided to show his loyalty towards your father by not only refusing to tell me anything about you but he tried to shield you from me so….” He breathed out in her ear. 

His words made her understand that that man was a werewolf who used to work for her father and he lost his life while trying to protect her from this monster.

“He needed to die, wolf princess,” 

She finally turned her head in his direction and hatred burnt in her heart for that vicious man, along with horror. Now she was feeling petrified of this cruel beast.

Clenching her fists, Amelia tried to run away but ended up getting caught by him instantly. He slammed her against his chest.

“I am done with this game of hide and seek, princess,” he uttered to her, peering into her shimmering green eyes.

“Because now we are going to play the game of your death and suffering,” he smirked, horrifying her more.

“No…leave me. Don't….” Amelia gasped when he grabbed her waist and threw her over his shoulder like she weighed a feather. 

“Leave me. Leave me…, ,” she started hitting his back, even though it was hurting her own fists. 

“You will forever remember this night, wolf princess,” his mother numbed her soul.

“Let me go, you monster. Leave me….” She shouted at him while hitting his back as hard as she could but he just started walking away from there with her.

Now what cruelty this night was going to show her and how sinfully in the arms of this sinister Lycan Prince?
