LOGINC74: 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 lips that
C73: The Last Moment?Meanwhile...Raine held the reins tightly so she wouldn't fall off, her heart was long gone from its position to her stomach.The horse continued sprinting into that direction, some branches scratched her arms, while she dodged some that would have hit her face.The woods grew denser with every passing second.Then the horse stopped abruptly, Raine nearly fell forward off the horse.She managed to steady herself at the last moment, her heart pounding against her ribcage.She held the reins tightly while trying to steady her heartbeat as she took deep breaths.Once she steadied herself she glanced around taking in her surroundings.The woods were thicker now and denser now, she remembered Kaizen's words and frowned. ‘The thick woods he warned of.’ she muttered in her mind, she slowly reached for her bow, gripping it tightly and held the reins in one hand.She wondered why the horse had stopped abruptly.A low growl echoed through the forest.Raine froze instantly,
C72: Missing Raine.Once they rode out, Kaizen stopped his horse briefly.“You are to stick to the clear woods” he said sternly and glanced at them for a moment.“Avoid the thick woods if you want to be intact, we are to gather at the center of the woods with our hunts once you see the signal in the sky” He said with a smirk and rode off.Raine pressed her lips tightly and rode her horse carefully through the woods. Unlike the others, she had very little experience riding horses. Fortunately, the red horse was calm and cooperative.It followed her instructions without much trouble.Liya rode beside her for a while before turning toward her. "My Lady, are you alright?" she asked.Raine nodded immediately. "I'm fine, can't wait to hunt my first kill." She said excitedly, while trying to hide the nervousness that grew within her.Fina slowed her horse slightly and grinned."We should move ahead then, before all the preys end up in the hands of others. I heard the best preys are deeper in
C71: The Hunt BeginsThe carriage slowed before coming to a stop inside a vast campsite.Raine's eyes widened slightly as she stepped down from the carriage together with Liya and the others.The area looked very lively, there were many rows of seats arranged neatly around the campsite. Many Lycans were already present. Nobles occupied the front rows while the commoners filled the remaining seats.Raine parted her lips softly in awe.This was the largest hunt gathering she had ever seen. Her gaze wandered around curiously.She noticed many young nobles around her age. Most of them carried bows or stood beside horses while chatting amongst themselves.It was obvious they would be participating in the hunt as well.The two generals led them to the large tent at the end of the vast space where the Lycan king sat.Once they arrived before the Lycan King, they immediately bowed. "Greetings, Your Majesty." The Lycan King gave them a nod and waved his hand. "You may rise."Raine and the oth
C70: A Trip To The Hunting Ground When it was evening, Raine left the garden together with Lucian, they parted ways. Raine smiled brightly as she walked back to her room, feeling lighter and happy.The moment she entered her room, she found Liya cleaning their shoes.Liya looked up and smiled. "My Lady, you're back."Raine grinned and sat down on a nearby chair. Liya glanced at her for a moment and smiled. "You seem happy, you must have enjoyed your walk.”Raine nodded immediately. "I did."Liya hummed and continued cleaning.They spent the rest of the evening preparing everything they would need for the hunt the next day.After dinner, Raine took her bath and changed into her sleeping clothes and went to bed early hoping to wake up early.The next morning Raine felt someone tapping her shoulder repeatedly.She frowned and pulled the blanket closer, but the tapping continued.Raine sighed and slowly opened her eyes before shutting them for a moment.Liya knelt beside her on the bed,
C69: Old MemoriesRaine stepped back with a flustered face and nodded slowly.Lucian narrowed his gaze and fought the urge to flick her forehead again.A small smile appeared on his lips before he asked, "Do you want to spend more time in the garden?"Raine nodded immediately.Lucian led her deeper into the garden. They eventually stopped by a swing.It had a flower roof above it to block most of the sunlight, creating a cool shade around them.Raine sat on the swing before Lucian joined suit.Raine's gaze wandered across the garden. Different flowers bloomed around them, filling the air with a gentle fragrance. The sight was beautiful, but it also stirred memories she had not thought about in a long time.A small sad smile formed on her lips, she missed the garden at the Silver Pack.Lucian noticed the change in her expression. "What are you thinking about?" he asked softly.Raine stared at him, she didn't know how he would react if she shared her thoughts "If something is bothering
C63: Tears For Being Weak Earlier that day, Raine was returning to her quarters with Liya after their training ended.Tomorrow would be the last day of training, Raine felt relief yet she was already missing training.She walked quietly beside Liya.She had not worn the emerald necklace again afte
C61: Tempting LipsThe next morning, Raine arrived at the training ground earlier as usual.She carried two covered plates carefully in her hands. One was for her and the second was for the Grand Prince. She had promised him a steak.A small smile tugged on her lips as she walked toward her traini
C60: Unreadable WordsRaine spent the rest of the day training.Her shooting skills had improved significantly compared to when she first arrived. Although she still missed occasionally, her arrows now landed much closer to the target than before.Lucian stood at a side, watching her.He noticed s
C59: A Sincere PromiseThe next morning, Raine woke up early even though they weren't going to train fortoday. They had been given a day off.Raine had already prepared a bath for her, once she stepped into it the steamed water slowly relaxed her muscles.Raine decided to soak in it a little while
