Semua Bab The Lycan Prince’s Puppy: Bab 221 - Bab 226

KylanThe car ride to the city felt like it was dragging on for hours, even though we hadn’t even been in the car for longer than ten minutes.Nate had already made all the arrangements. Some herbal tea experience, followed by a wood-carving class at the cultural center that was apparently popular with the outsiders. Both horrible, but this wasn’t about me.Alpha Fergus and Dylan sat on the opposite side of me and Nate. It was as quiet as it could be, and although Fergus hadn’t spoken a word, his presence alone filled the car with something heavy, making it clear this wasn’t going to be easy.I bet Violet was having a better time right now, even while being stuck in Madam Renata’s grip.A weak smile appeared as I thought of my Violet. Just how much did I love her for it to have come this far to share a car with Fergus and Dylan Hastings?“You must come here often.”Startled, my gaze shifted to Fergus, who had opened his mouth. His eyes weren’t on me, but it was clear who he was talkin

KylanIn front of me on the wooden table were bowls filled with dried herbs, fresh leaves, and little jars of basically everything I had never even heard of in my entire life.We had been here for a while, and with each second that passed, the smell in the room was starting to make my nose itch more and more.It smelled like…“The swamps,” Nate whispered beside me, finishing my thoughts. “It smells a bit like the swamps, doesn’t it?

It hit me harder than I wanted to admit, but I understood—I really did.Just a while ago, I was one of those Lyperians Violet would rather stay away from.But it was all much deeper than that. Fergus had experienced what the king had done to Claire. He was the reason she had lost her child, and perhaps because of the Veil breach situation, her life as well.At the same time, many could also sense the way Lyperians felt about witches. One good example of that was the ones in the mountains, who no one would bat an eye at, and didn’t care enough to worry whether they were all breathing or not.Alpha Fergus wasn’t just being cold for no reason. He thought he was protecting Violet the best way he could, even though it was twisted.It was so hard to have this conversation without saying what I wanted to say.
