In this circumstances, what Kellan said was the right thing to do, therefore, Ethan didn’t have any other choice, but to relent.

Within a few seconds, all the light had been put off and the lake house became so dark. The cold wind blew from the opened window.

Ethan and the rest of six warriors stood guards at the door of the house. There were two entrances, but there was a big window on the second floor and each of the room that could be an access to enter the house.

In that case, they had to stay vigilante, while thinking what they had to do next.

Jasmine stayed inside the room with Kellan. All of them didn’t sleep a wink at all. The anxiety was building up in the air.

“What are you planning to do?” Jasmine asked Kellan finally after a long silent. She was sitting on a single chair, where she was hiding in the darkness. Ethan told her not to get close to the window and she obeyed his order just because he looked so anxious about her safety.

“I am going to meet with my warriors at the border. They must have been waiting for me there.”

“Where are your warriors at right now?” Jasmine stared at the murky sky. The night had grown very quiet, aside from the howling winds in the distance.

“Great Darren city, I have stationed my warriors there just in case something like this happened and all I need to do is to reach them.” He would be able to strike back if he reached them in time and before his brother found that place and attack them first.

“Great Darren city is two days away from here,” Jasmine said, she contemplated it for a while. “With your current condition it will be hard for you to move.”

Kellan laughed at that comment, he shook his head. “King Alexander is a lycan too. You know that a lycan is very hard to be killed. There is nothing for you to be worried about. I healed very fast. I will be fine tomorrow. It’s only me being spoiled, as I stayed here a little bit longer to enjoy the princess’s beauty.”

Jasmine rolled her eyes when she heard that. Obviously, she wouldn’t believe that, after spending some time with him, she knew how flirtatious this man could be.

No, thanks, she wouldn’t fall into such easy trap.

“I don’t enjoy yours.”

It meant to be an insult, but Kellan didn’t seem to see it that way, as he started to laugh when he saw how agitated Jasmine was. “Don’t worry princess, I know that you only didn’t want to admit it, because I believe, my face is my best asset. I have better chance with woman with my face than my status.”

Jasmine rolled her eyes at that comment, because obviously, he became more and more insufferable.

But then, they heard the noise at a certain part of the house and a glass was broken. Kellan’s face turned serious, as he the bed and looked out the window and the door, as if he was anticipating someone might burst from the two entrances. It was so dark outside, therefore, it was hard to tell whether they had an uninvited company or not.

“Come closer to me,” Kellan said, as he beckoned Jasmine to come to him. She was sitting at the other side of the room, hiding in the darkness, but Kellan needed to check what that commotion about, he couldn’t leave her alone in this room. Mindlink Ethan what’s going on.”

“I have.” Jasmine walked toward him. “He said he is checking on it and told me to stay inside the room.

Kellan furrowed his brows, he glanced at the window again, as he pushed Jasmine behind him. He was ready for a fight if there was really enemy around this lake house.

And he was right. The enemy had been lurking this house and despite their effort to make them thinking there was no one here, they didn’t buy it.

Because a second later, they heard the commotion. Vicious growls and roars filled the air.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

As if on cue, a beast crashed against the window and the glass splattered around on the floor. There were two beasts and Kellan immediately shifted out of instinct, while Jasmine was screaming.

The lycan fought the two beasts at the same time, but it was hard, since he was not yet fully recovered and with this fight, he gained new wounds.

Seeing this, after her initial shocked was worn off, Jasmine immediately shifted into her beast too and then helped Kellan.

She fought one of the beasts and killed him..

The adrenaline was too high, she didn’t even realize that she made the first kill tonight. Once they managed to kill the two beasts, Jasmine shifted back into her human form, where she was sitting on the floor with blood on her face.

Her expression was ashen. She was trembling.

“Are you, okay?”

“I- I just killed someone…” She stammered and Kellan immediately understood.

“It’s okay, they are trying to kill you first.” He knelt down in front of Jasmine, he made himself appeared less intimidating. “You did a good job by killing him first.”

Jasmine shifted her attention toward him. She didn’t know what to feel about that. Was that even a compliment for her?

Suddenly, the door was slammed opened. Kellan was ready to shift into his beast again, as Jasmine screeched, but thankfully, it was Ethan.

However, the warrior was not happy when he saw the princess was covered in blood.

“What’s going on?! What happened?!” Ethan immediately approached Jasmine, as he shoved Kellan to the side. The lycan groaned, because he was also injured.

“It’s okay, don’t worry. I am fine. This is not my blood.” Jasmine hastily explained herself because she was scared. She had never seen Ethan this angry before. “I am fine.”
