All Chapters of The Lycan Prince’s Puppy: Chapter 311 - Chapter 320

VioletWe sat around the table, the smell of Kaelis’s chicken soup filling the air. A big smile was plastered on her face. “You are going to love this, Nate!” she said, scooping big portions into everyone’s bowls. “I worked so hard on this!”She said it with a grin that made it impossible not to smile back.I looked from Kaelis to Nate. A small smile was on his lips as he looked down at the soup. “You didn’t have to do this,” he mumbled.“But I want you to get better,” Kaelis said. “I’ll get us some drinks!”She hurried out of the room, shutting the door behind her. My eyes turned to Nate again as he stared down at the bowl in front of him with the spoon in his hand. I could tell he was thinking about something, probably a lot of things, and there was probably so much more he wanted to vent about, but felt like he couldn’t.“Enjoy your meal,” I said.I brought my spoon to my lips and took a bite, feeling the hot soup against my tongue. But the taste was…a little off.My eyes shot to N

KylanI closed the envelope in my hands and let out a long breath. I think I lost count of how many times I had turned it over or read it to make sure nothing was being left out.Violet’s words from this morning hadn’t left my mind. She looked at me with those innocent but determined eyes and told me what I already knew but didn’t want to face…I was losing focus.It wasn’t because I didn’t care, but because I had too many emotions and didn’t know how to handle them. I had been uneasy long before I went to see Nate, and even more so after.The truth was, I wasn’t ready to see him that day. I went anyway because I thought maybe I could fix things just by showing up, but it didn’t fix anything. It made it worse.It wasn’t that I didn’t care, but I just didn’t know what to say. I had the words in my head, but none of them ever made it out right, and the last time I had been that speechless was years ago…back when everything first started falling apart.But that was certainly not an excuse

Violet“I got it under control,” Kylan released a quiet sigh, still pretending to be more interested in the book in front of him. “You don’t need to worry about that.”I squinted my eyes. “You’ve got it under control, how?”This time, he released a heavier sigh before finally looking up at me. His dark eyes pierced through mine. “Did you see Kayden’s reaction when I made Camille dig?”I frowned, thinking back. When Kylan had pushed Camille, there had been this look in Kayden’s eyes that I couldn’t quite explain.“In his own crazy way, he’s already claimed her,” Kylan continued. “He won’t allow the ceremony to happen. So I don’t worry about it…and neither should you because it will all be okay,” Kylan said. “Whatever happens will be between him and the king, and we just need to focus on the box and whatever’s behind it before the King decides to make his next move.”“Do you think he’ll make a move?” I asked, curious. “Do you really believe the box is connected to everything that still

VioletI let out a nervous gulp at the idea of allowing Kylan into my memories, but pushed it down just as quickly because I knew it would be necessary.“We can go together,” I told him. “I don’t want to get stuck inside this box…And I think we shouldn’t do anything alone anymore. Look where that’s gotten us so far.”“Not that far,” Kylan answered, looking up.I rested my arms on the table, glancing at him. “I was thinking,” I suggested softly, “that maybe we should tell Dylan and Trinity, so someone’s present when we’re in.”“Yes, we should,” Kylan said immediately.I fluttered my eyes, caught off guard. I had been expecting a debate, maybe a small argument about keeping things between us for safety, but he just agreed…just like that.It surprised me, but I guess I shouldn’t have been too surprised. Maybe he had a change of heart about keeping people out of things after what happened with Nate. Maybe he realized that trying to protect everyone only made things worse.“Are you okay?”

VioletLittle Violet’s laughter was so loud we could hear it through the wind, but I could hardly believe it was really me. Sure, life with mom and dad around was much better, but even then, I barely remembered ever being happy.But that laugh…It was pure joy.“Let’s go,” I said softly, breaking into a smile. I took a big step forward, but just as I was about to take the second one, I felt Kylan’s hand around my wrist, stopping me.I looked into his eyes, and this time they weren’t as playful as before. His expression was serious. “Wait, Violet,” he drew in a breath. “We can’t just go and…you know that if you shed one single tear—”“It’s over,” I finished for him. I swallowed, thinking about not wanting this to end just yet. I wouldn’t leave without at least one bit of knowledge about something that could help us, and that’s why I was so confident in my words.At the end of the day, I was someone with a heart and feelings, so I couldn’t promise I wouldn’t end up bawling, but not unti
