Chapter 225


    Chapter 225.


    J quietly took the crossbow from her back.


    She pointed the arrow at one of the Lycan soldier’s heads, narrowing her eyes, holding her breath.


    The two soldiers had no idea that death was looming.


    They were still talking.


    “Looks like our King is really in love with that she–wolf. Don’t you think?”


    “Hell yeah. And that she–wolf has no gratitude at heart. The Lycan King wants her


    for Christ’s sake! If you ask me, she should get on her knees and wiggle her fucking butt like a good


    dog, begging our king to take her-”


    WHOOSH!


    The arrow flew across the air and went right into the back of that soldier’s skull, freezing the rest of


    those words on his lips.


    The head of the arrow stuck out from between the soldier’s brows.


    Blood streamed down his face.


    A horror expression froze on his face as he was crushed down to the forest bed, dead.


    Hispanion was terrified.


    He jumped up, clenching his pistol, and looked around, “WHO IS THERE! You are killing the Lycan


    King’s guards! I fucking warn you-”


    He looked from left to right.


    Yet he didn’t check his overhead.


    J leaned off from the tree and fell right on top of his shoulders.


    one hand.


    And held a de against his throat with another hand.


    “…Don’t move,” she leaned down and whispered into his ears.


    The Lycan soldier froze, his body shivering.


    ..L–Lady J?” he stuttered.


    He tried to turn his neck and got a good look at her.


    The de cut into his skin right away.


    “Do you want me to slit your throat?” she warned, “Keep your eyes ahead!”


    The soldier’s neck became stiff, staying perfectly still.


    “Tell me everything back at the castle. How is the searching along?” she demanded.


    “I…If you were up there the whole time, you have heard everything already…” the soldier stuttered,


    “General Clemente is being punished. Prince Wells and Princess Belle are grounded. The King is


    pulling every soldier in the castle into this search…There is no way he will stop until he finds you!”


    J tightened her grip on the hilt.


    Fuck.


    She was hoping that Westin would give up at some point, hence buying her more time to escape.


    Yet he was more determined than she thought.


    Did he really want her that much?


    “Lady J…you–you should really go back and turn yourself in when there is still chance…” the


    soldier begged, “You don’t know the way…How long can youst in this forest anyway? The elders


    are trying to stop the king froming to look for you personally…But sooner orter he will set


    foot in this forest, and you will be found! Just think about his rage when he catches you with his own


    hands…” “SILENT!” J snapped.


    Her heart was thumping wildly.


    She didn’t need this soldier to remind her of Westin’s rage.


    She could imagine it.


    Westin probably wouldn’t kill her.


    But he would make sure that she lived in misery, which was a thousand times worse. than a clean


    death.


    Which was why she had to find a way out of there before he found her.


    “You are right. I don’t know the way,” J let out a coldugh. “But you are here. now. Lycans


    know how to get out of this damn forest, don’t you?”


    Yes.


    That was her n.


    To take a Lycan soldier hostage and to force him to show her the way.


    Has herpass stopped working?


    She would find herself a humanpass


    The Lycan soldier started to shiver, “Y–You want me to… No, I can’t! The King will kill me-”


    “If you don’t cooperate, I will kill you before he does,” J threatened, pointing the dagger at his


    throat. “So which way is it going to be?”


    The Lycan soldier gulped nervously, “Please…Please don’t…I have a family…”


    “So cooperation it is.”


    J jumped off from his shoulder and reced the dagger with her pistol.


    She gave him a nudge with her pistol, “Now move! Don’t y tricks with me. And don’t try circling


    me back to Westin’s! I will blow your head the moment I sense something wrong.”


    The Lycan soldier took in a deep breath.


    He started moving forward.


    J immediately followed him, keeping pointing the pistol at his heart.


    They traveled in the forest in silence, with the heavy fog still apanying them.


    J couldn’t tell if the path they were on right now had any difference from the path that she had


    taken.


    The forest looked exactly the same no matter where she went.


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    But she didn’t see any marks on the passing trees.


    Which meant that she hadn’t been to this area of the forest before.


    The sun continued to set, the forest growing darker.


    It was getting harder to see the path ahead of them.


    Just when J’s patience was wearing out, a long howl from the distance swept the


    forest, sending startled birds flying off branches and into the night sky.


    The Lycan soldier snapped his head up and gasped, “It…It is the King…”


    “How can you tell!”


    “All soldiers can recognize the voice of their King…” the soldier trembled on his spot, “He ising


    to get you himself…Lady J, you can’t escape! Even if you escape this forest, he will find a way


    to take you back–Just return when you have the chance–AHHH!”


    J withdrew her dagger and stabbed it into his left shoulder!


    The soldier staggered holding his injured shoulder, groaning in pain.


    “Next time it will aim at your fucking heart!” J hissed under her breath, “How much longer to the


    borderline?!”


    “Not…Not far…Just another half of an hour…”


    “HURRY! GO!”


    “HURRY! GO!”


    They picked up their paces, dashing across the dark forest.


    J’s heart was beating so crazily that she could even hear the sound of her own heartbeat.


    She could sense the danger approaching.


    Westin wasing.


    She was racing against him.


    They kept going like this for another 15 minutes and suddenly heard a loud hound bark from behind


    their backs.


    J jerked around in panic-


    A giant hound leaped out of the darkness and snapped at her jacket!


    “Fuck!” J cursed.


    It was Clemente’s jacket.


    She tried to pull it back from the dog, but the damn beast would not let go and made a dangerous


    growl at her, showing pointed fangs!


    “It is General Clemente’s hound! It must have recognized its master’s scent! They are not far from


    us-” the soldier yelled.


    J stripped herself out of that jacket and shifted into her wolf.


    She abandoned the hound and the soldier and dashed forward.


    Faster…


    FASTER!


    The wind gushed at her face, rustling her furs. Her wolf was as anxious as she was. Just then, she


    smelt something in the wind.


    An enticing scent.


    The scent of her mate, the love of her life!


    In the distance, behind the trees, she saw a familiar figure standing by the edge of the forest.


    It was him!!!


    “-DARAN!” she screamed at the top of her lungs.


    That man jerked around and looked in her direction.
