- You love my master very much. As much as he loves you. I can see that. I'm glad to know. I hope that one day you two can see each other again, but if that's not possible, I'll be back next year.The tightness that Julius feels in his heart with that little quote, “next year”, almost makes him lose the strength in his knees. It was a death sentence for a passionate heart. He lets out a small whine, but smiles. He wasn't going to tell the girl about his plan to go see Romeo. If the girl was caught, at least she wouldn't know that.When she puts the letter in her coat pocket, Julius gives her another piece of paper.- This is my phone number. I know it shouldn't be possible, but give it to Romeo. If one day he can, tell him to call me.Lorena takes the paper and puts it in another pocket, with a nod.Julius was back in his room. Lorena had agreed to spend the night in Lycaon's room, and wait for the next day to leave. She needed to rest, and when Julous left the dungeon, she was alread

Inside Lycaon's room, Julius and Shane were making plans. - When do we leave? – Julius asks. - Calm down, young prince. Just now Lorena left. It took her 2 and a half days to get here. It will take at least two days to get back to Vlad's palace. It's best to let her get there and things get back to normal. - And what does that mean? You're always putting it off. If I knew where the tunnel was, I would have gone alone. - That's why I didn't tell you where it was. But for your rest, we leave in two days, when night falls. Let's go meet my friends, and then we'll go from there. - I was thinking... - Shane says. – I could go with you two, and instead of Julius visiting Romeo, we took Romeo and Lorena the same way we go... - I know you want to have your mate close to you, but do you want her dead or alive? – Lycaon asks coldly and the most serious his friends have ever seen. - Live, of course. - Then stop being stupid and follow the plan. If Romeo and Lorena disappear from the palac

When everyone enters the dining room, Reed is greeted with joy. Everyone present knew Reed and liked him, despite also knowing the antagonism between the prince and his cousin.When they sat down at the table, silence settled. The looks Julius gave everyone made them uncomfortable. Julius had done it intentionally. Always focus on his plan. Everyone was starting to eat, but the queen wasn't able to put up with that silence and started talking to Reed. After a short time, everyone started talking again, leaving Shane and Julius in silence.- Don't you agree Julius? – the queen asks, but Julius hasn't paid attention to anything that was said there.- What do you want me to agree with, mom?- By the Moon Goddess. But you're not hearing anything?- Conversations with this asshole? No, I'm not. I don't have the slightest interest in any conversations that involve him.- Julius! He just arrived. what the hell? We are all gathered here and you are full of spite. Do you think this is worthy o

Lorena was still hours away from reaching the palace. She had gone most of the way without being able to get Shane's out of her head, and his taste of her lips. That left her confused. She had loved Romeo for so long. She had never had eyes for anyone else. What was so special about that idiot? He said she was his mate. She was human, she had no destined mates. But did being a werewolf's mate mean she now had one?Lorena continues walking and quickens her pace. She was tired and hungry, but she wanted to get to Romeo as quickly as possible.She was so distracted by her thoughts that she didn't even notice she was being watched. Red eyes had been following her for some time, hidden in the shadow of the forest trees. The figure did not have good intentions. Liliana was an easy prey for him.When the sun begins to hide behind the horizon, despite not being able to see it, thanks to the magic that covered it, Liliana knows that she is close to the palace. She smiles happily and runs the re

When silence settled in the packhouse, Julius knew the time had come. Shane had entered his room a few minutes ago, with the excuse that he was there to close the window and curtains, collect the key, and lock the door, but they both knew he was there because he was afraid it would be the last time he saw Julius. The idea was torturing him. If things went wrong, how would he face the pack, knowing that he collaborated in that madness? How was he going to look his father in the eye and be close to the king and queen? Everything was so complicated.- I'll bring you news about Lorena when I get back. – Julius says, looking Shane in the eyes. – “If I come back” – he thinks, but without verbalizing. - Lycaon is already waiting for me a few miles away.- Yes. He said it would be too suspicious if you were caught crossing the border together. He said he was carrying two bags. I still can't get it into my head that he invented shift-resistant backpacks.- He had 900 years to think about all t
