The moment Kael left the training hall, I felt guilty. I really offended him badly. I wanted to curse myself for talking too much about his brother. However, I always wanted to be clear with him. He was the only one who I could rely on here."Did he just warn me about Prince Adam? Will that man scare me tonight?" I mumbled, feeling more frightened.The hall was empty. I was all alone. I moved my feet, making my way to the changing room. While thinking about how angry Kael had just looked, I changed my clothes.With a lot of strength, I had to open the large door of the training hall. I looked outside and noticed the rain had stopped.The road was slippery. The yellow and red leaves were scattered around on the ground.I stepped out of the hall slowly. I glanced at the guards who were still standing outside the palace. I proceeded there, lowering my head.While walking into the palace, they glanced at me, giving me judging looks, which I ignored.'I have to find a way to contact Ruby,'

"How dare you talk about his curse? Do you want to die?" The guards spoke in unison, their voice enraged.I flinched; my body started to shake. The fear was not because of them, but the reason was the second Lycan Prince himself.Whenever I let out his name, I always felt a fear in my heart. Never in my life did I think Kael was that man.My fingers curled around the phone on my hand tightly. My heart started to slow down, losing its strength.The guards thought I was afraid of their warnings. They exchanged a glance among themselves before directing their attention toward me.‘You are here because of him and still alive. Otherwise, no woman—”I interrupted them. "I-I don't want to hear it."Their brows furrowed. I looked away from them and made my way to the door before them.My knees were trembling, my hands were quivering, and my heart… was racing.With each step, I felt betrayal.'Did he bring me here to....'My eyes went larger.I recalled my adoptive parents offered me to him in

Third POVThe knocking, the banging, everything stopped after a while. The room, the hallway, the growling, and the noises—everything just went silent.Erica's body slid down the wall as she was still shaking. Her eyes were teary; her breaths were trembling.She could not show more bravery than staying calm like this. The man outside the door was a devil from hell. She could not let him kill her. She didn't escape from the Nightfall Pack to become a slave of the second Lycan Prince.The silence caused her breath to become calm slowly. Her heartbeat became slower, and all she wanted was to leave this palace.She hugged her knees to her chest and rested her head on them. She closed her eyes, praying in her mind."Please save me from this beast. I hate him!"The morning sun slowly rose, lightening the whole world. The sunlight slipped through the curtains, falling on the floor.Erica felt the light on her face. She blinked, moving her body only to feel ache in her back.She realized she

Erica's POVMy whole body froze when I heard Princess Vaila. The world seemed to stop around me. The heaviness in my chest returned with dread. My whole body shook in fear.I did not turn my head to look at him. My body shivered as if Adam's eyes fell on me.Adam approached the table.I stared at the table and didn't dare to look at him. Unknowingly my hands tried to move my chair silently toward Prince Rowan.However, it didn't go unnoticed by others. Because the chair made a noise.I shut my eyes in response.Princess Vaila frowned at me. Prince Rowan chuckled as he said, "She wants to sit close to me. It's okay, guys."I blinked, gazing at Rowan, who smirked at me. Princess Vaila handled the situation as she pulled out a chair for Adam and offered him."Please, brother. Sit."Adam didn't move. His gaze was on me. Princess Vaila followed his gaze and looked at me.With a serious tone, she said, "Erica, you forgot to show respect to Brother Adam. Why haven't you bowed yet?"I was stu

Erica's heart started to beat faster. The slow wind suddenly intensified, and the way everything around her stopped, she was astonished.All she could see was Prince Adam's predatory eyes. They were dark and dangerous.His words stabbed her heart a thousand times. It was more painful than the fear she felt last night.Looking into his eyes, she got the reflection of the night in the Night Fall Pack.In just a blink of an eye, he reminded her who saved her from her cruel mate, the man who almost never let the men rape me. Adam was the one who protected her, fought with them, and then rescued her without any expectations.Erica's eyes turned blurry. She remembered how wounded this man was when she found him in the ForbiddenMountain. She thought she was just a soldier; she brought him to her small cabin, treated him, and gave him shelter for the night. She helped without expecting anything in return, too.Everything was so good between them. She used to respect him and saw him as her sav
