Semua Bab The Lycan Prince’s Puppy: Bab 391 - Bab 400

VioletMy arm was sore from shaking too many hands, and the sides of my lips ached from smiling so much. The greetings never seemed to end. Elders, lords, ladies, distant relatives, and people who smiled like they actually enjoyed being here, while we all knew better.I had to admit the celebration itself was something special. The palace had outdone itself once more. The ballroom glowed under soft lights and lanterns, tables were decorated with flowers and filled with fresh food, and music floated through the room. It was packed.Even though we had helped plan parts of it, seeing it still made my breath catch. Everyone had poured their whole hearts into it for Kaelis.“We should take our seats,” Kylan whispered after shaking some elder’s hand. “I don’t want them to bother us again.”His eyes drifted, and I followed his gaze to the back of the room. There was a long table, much like the one from the feast. If not for the single presence that made it feel full, I would have had no issu

VioletI went completely still.My fingers tightened around Kylan’s hand before I even realized what I was doing. With each step he took, too many whispers spread.“It’s true!”“He can really walk…”“A miracle!”Even Lady Mona rose from her seat, and for the first time that night, there was a real smile on her face. A proud and victorious smile.She glanced at the king, who shot her a glance back, an amused smirk displayed on his lips.And Cecilia…I didn’t miss the way her jaw locked and her lips trembled, though she tried so hard to keep her composure.“Did someone free him?” I whispered.“I don’t think so,” Kylan replied. “He looks…ridiculously strong for someone who was tied and gagged last time I saw him.”I swallowed and looked again. Kayden had a faint smirk on his lips. He looked better than he had that morning.No, better wasn’t even the word. He looked even stronger and healthier, more so than I thought was possible. It was like the smack on his head hadn’t taken him out, bu

VioletThe speeches had been going on for a while, and I had lost track of how many people had spoken.There were so many of them. Brothers, sisters, more family. One after another, all speaking of pride, tradition, and the Moon Goddess.Yet, my eyes kept drifting back to Kayden, and I wasn’t the only one. It wasn’t his Howl, but all eyes were still on the prince who could suddenly walk again.A small breath escaped me as I stared at him, and Lady Mona, who rested her hand on his arm, proudly. She hadn’t stopped smiling once, and neither had he.He leaned back in his chair like he owned the room, smirking, and his eyes…they were locked on me.He probably wanted all of us dead for what we had done to him, or more so for what he had done to himself. He had become so obsessed with Thorne, and the most dangerous person is the one who has nothing left to lose. An uncomfortable chill went through my body, and my gaze moved forward again, back to where it was supposed to be.Kaelis.And Kyla

VioletThere was this look in Kylan’s eyes. One that confirmed that he meant every word he had just said.I wanted to argue, tell him he was wrong. That he didn’t get to say things like that, not now, but my throat was still stuck.And when it finally felt like I could breathe again, the presence of the others closed in around us.“Did Kayden just threaten you?” Trinity asked, squinting her eyes.Kylan shrugged. “Looks like it.”“Are we—” Trinity started.“Nothing has changed,” he interrupted. “We’re still doing it.”“I agree,” Dylan said. “Delaying it is the last thing we need right now.”My eyes drifted to Sora.Considering we had locked him inside a pantry and angered him even more, I already felt like shit, but she just looked awful.One hand pressed to her chest as she tried to breathe through her nerves. Her head rested against Lian’s shoulder, and her eyes were visibly glossy.“He’s going to kill me first,” she whispered. “He’s going to kill me.”Kylan rolled his eyes. “There s

VioletThe party had been going on for hours.At first, it had been careful, measured, and respectable, but once the younger ones were escorted out and the night grew darker, something shifted.Voices grew louder, people made out in every corner, most not even bothering to slip away into the woods, while others still fought for attention. The full moon was bright above us, making wolves bolder, warmer, needier.Poor Kaelis was glued to her mother’s side, clutching Cecilia’s arm and deeply traumatized by the state of her own party. Kiora had already left with the younger children, which meant it was just her.Even though Kiora wouldn’t be present, Vayla, Kaelis’s Lycan, was so impressive that she would hear it from her room. That’s what she had told me.I drew a breath, clutching the cup in my hands. Lumia was losing it. She had that restless, aching pull she’d been fighting for days now, and as needy as she was at the moment, even she knew this wasn’t the time. She strained to keep he
