This chapter had me on the edge of my seat! The tension between the Lycan Prince and his 'puppy' reaches a boiling point as secrets from the past finally come to light. The Prince, usually so composed, loses his cool when he discovers hidden letters that reveal the puppy's true lineage—something even she didn't fully understand. The emotional confrontation is raw, with the puppy torn between loyalty and the shock of realizing her entire identity might be a lie. Meanwhile, the rival faction makes a move, ambushing the palace grounds during their argument. The action sequences are chaotic yet beautifully choreographed, with the puppy's conflicted emotions fueling her fighting style—hesitant at first, then ferocious once she decides to protect the Prince despite everything.
What really stuck with me was the quiet moment afterward. The Prince, wounded but refusing help, kneels in the rubble and just... stares at her. No grand speeches, no easy forgiveness. Just this unreadable expression that makes you wonder if he's furious, heartbroken, or both. The chapter ends with the puppy running into the forest, not as a defiant act but as sheer desperation to process everything. The art in this section is stunning—moonlight through the trees, her silhouette dissolving into shadows. It feels like the calm before an even bigger storm.
