I took a step back when I heard her. Her voice was tough, not that sweet as she was talking a minute ago. It was like her words were a dangerous reminder to me, which I would have to obey by hook or by crook. "I will not leave the room," I replied. She left the room, closing the door behind her.I stood there for a moment, still thinking about the princess's strange warning.Just then, a maid carrying folded linens walked past my door. She paused when she saw me standing there.“Are you the guest His Highness brought back?” she asked politely.I nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.“This palace is… very big,” I said softly.The maid smiled kindly. “It is the royal palace of the Lycans after all. The King and his three sons live here.”She shifted the linens in her arms before continuing, almost like she was reciting palace common knowledge.“The First Prince, Kendrick, manages most of the royal affairs. Many believe he will become the next king.”“The youngest prince is lively an

​King Alfred thought Adam was disagreeing again. His eyes turned as cold as a winter frost, and his voice dropped to a low, commanding tone. "Do not mistake my patience for weakness, Adam. You may be a prince, but you are not beyond the reach of my judgment.” he paused. After taking a deep breath, he continued coldly, "After Vespera's death, I know you are deeply heartbroken. You got the curse, which can hardly be cured." Adam's grin faded as soon as he heard his grandfather. His face turned grim, and his eyes darkened. He kept quiet, but his expression was saying it all. He didn't like how his grandfather wanted to make him realize he had flaws. It was a burden to his life. But what enraged him more was the name he mentioned just now. 'Vespera' Alfred averted his gaze from Adam and took a sip from his glass. His back leaned against the couch. His eyes went to the blank wall next to the door. "Your father was a failure. What he did was obnoxious. But I don't want you

Erica's POV The sunny morning caressed my face. I turned to the other side of the bed. The soft mattress stuck to my body as if I were lying on clouds. The bed felt like a marshmallow hug I wasn't ready to leave. I had no idea how long I hadn't slept on a bed. But this soft mattress was something else. I did not want to wake up. The body, which used to be painful every morning after the hardworking night shifts, now seemed to be greedy for this comfort. A knock on the door caused my eyes to open. Knock! Knock! Knock! It was soft knocks, as if the people outside did not want to wake me frightened. I sat up and recalled where I was. This was the Lycan Palace, and I was living here as a guest. I owed it to the third Lycan Prince. He was helping me so much. I would have to pay him back for this hospitality. I got out of the bed with a yawn, walking toward the door. When I opened the door, I noticed a maid. "You are summoned by the princess for breakfast," she said politely. See

Princess Vaila was surprised by my statement. She leaned forward, her brows lifted. "Where did you two meet, by the way? When guards told me that he brought a woman, I thought about someone else. But when I saw you, I was really shocked."Her words wove nervousness in my heart. I could never tell them where he found me.'Forbidden Mountain... If I tell everyone about that place, you all will kick me out of this palace, Princess Vaila,' I said in my head.I didn't dare to let those words out of my mouth, worrying that it would harm me.My eyes were on the floor. My hands were fisted on my dress. I blinked a few times."It's okay, you don't need to share anything you don't want to. But don't hide your identity from my brother. He is not as easy as you think. He can burn things to ash. And once he starts, there is nothing in this world that can match his fire."​My heart hammered against my ribs. I lifted my gaze to hers, searching for any sign that she was joking.What did she mean? The

His eyes were calm when his gaze was on me. But when his gaze lowered to the book that was now lying on the floor, his eyes darkened.I gulped, quickly bent down, and picked up the book."I-I was just reading," I murmured hurriedly.His brows arched; his eyes were fixed on the book in my hand.'Is he mad?' I thought.I cleared my throat. "I-I am sorry. I shouldn't have come here without your permission," I said, lowering my head in embarrassment.This was his palace. How could I roam around and go anywhere inside?"You are right. You shouldn't have..." he muttered, walking toward me.I looked at him. He grabbed the book from me, almost like snatching it away.I gulped, feeling more embarrassed. Without even glancing at the shelf, he slid the book back into the exact spot where I had found it.Watching him, I realized he knew this place better than anyone. He placed that book like a man who had read it every day of his life.I lowered my head, curling my fingers on my dress. "I am sorr
