Chapter 226


    She could already see his face, even with that distance between them.


    -Daran!!


    She opened her mouth to call to him again.


    But a great force came from her back, knocking her to the ground.


    She snapped her head around to bite the attacker.


    Yet her neck got hit the next second


    The piercing pain coursed through her body and caused her to shift back to human.


    Shey on the ground, kicking her legs in vain, panting roughly. The attacker bent his back and


    caught her throat with one hand.


    With the help of the dim moonlight, she saw the attacker’s face.


    …Clemente!


    “Cle”


    She didn’t have the chance to utter a single word, because he had mped a hand over her mouth


    and dragged her into the bushes.


    She was furious. She tried to fight back with all her might.


    Yet he easily pressed her body to the cold hard ground and tied her fours, taped her mouth shut.


    “…Don’t force me to knock you out,” he whispered into her ears.


    Heavy footsteps came from the near distance.


    Daran rushed over from the edge of the forest.


    He looked around. His handsome face was consorted by anxiety and panic.


    “…J!”


    He started to yell, his voice trembling, “Is that you, J?”


    Tears streamed down from J’s eyes.


    She could see him from behind the bushes.


    They were just a few feet apart!


    She twisted her body and made a muffled cry, trying to get Daran’s attention.


    Yet Clemente held a cold dagger against her belly.


    J froze.


    A chill of horror swept across her.


    …How did Clemente know about her pregnancy?!


    Clemente looked down at her, his grey eyes gleaming coldly.


    DON’T


    He warned her eyes his eyes


    Daran was still calling her name, “JANET! Fuck…J…Please just answer me-” “Looking for


    someone, King Daran?”


    A cold voice came behind the woods.


    A tall and muscr figure stepped out of the darkness, directing an icy gaze upon


    Daran.


    Daran clenched his fists, hatred burning in his eyes as he gritted, “…Westin.”


    “I haven’t personally congratted you on your coronation yet,” Westin said with a


    cool smile on his lips. “Congrattions, you finally got what you wanted. But that doesn’t give you


    the right toe here and make a fuzz in mynd.”


    “Where is J!” Daran snapped.


    Westin spread his hands, “What makes you think that I have her? Maybe she grew tired of you and


    ran off herself…since you are such an obnoxious


    person.”


    “Cut the craps!” Daran roared, his eyes bloodshot, “You fucking took her!!!”


    Westin suddenly burst outughing.


    “No. She left with me, voluntarily,” he said, chuckling. “And she is very happy in the Lycan’snd.


    She has also agreed to recognize our mate bond in the following few days…Oh, and here is a


    message from her and ites down to two simple words: FUCK OFF”


    J shook her head in the bushes.


    Tears running down her cheeks.


    No.


    That was not what she thought!


    Don’t believe in any of that Daran!


    “Fucking lies!” Daran growled. “Hand her over now or-


    “Or what?” Westin asked defiantly.


    -Or I will bloodshed your entire Kingdom. Staring with YOU!”


    He leaped forward, shifting into a giant wolf in midair, and stuck at Westin!


    Westin dodged urgently.


    A hint of shock flickered across his eyes when he saw Daran’s wolf.


    The giant ck wolf had its whole body imprinted with intricate patterns, and a patch of golden fur


    on its forehead.


    It looked like a mythical creature depicted in the ancient tale!


    Westin gritted his teeth and shifted as well.


    The silver–white Lycan and the ck werewolf lunged at each other simultaneously, aiming to kill!


    Their fangs shed like daggers in the moonlight as their bodies collided.


    Westin was sent flying backward and crashed into a pine tree, making a huge crashing noise!


    Daran lunged forward, his jaws snapping at the Lycan’s back.


    He tossed his head and ripped a huge chunk of flesh off the Lycan’s body!


    The silence of the woods shattered as the white wolf howled in rage and pain! J rounded her


    eyes in shock.


    Daran didn’t stand a chance when he first met Westin.


    But the crown empowered him.


    He had be stronger…Even stronger than she thought.


    Maybe he really had a chance of defeating Westin!


    She wanted to see the end of that fight.


    But Clemente didn’t give her a chance.


    In the noise of the brutal fight, he threw her onto his back and carried her dashing into the misted


    forest.


    NO!!!


    She roared internally.


    Don’t take her away! She worked so hard to get this far! She was already so close to the man she


    loved.


    Yet she was still moving away from Daran.


    The sounds of their howls and fights grew fainter and fainter.


    Clemente didn’t stop until they reached the heart of the mist forest.


    He set her down on a rock and ripped off the tape on her mouth.


    She took a sharp inhale of breath, panting heavily, and red at him.


    Clemente bent down to untie her fours.

    Yet she snarled, “-DON’T TOUCH ME!”


    He froze.


    And withdrew his hands.


    …It was a stupid idea to run,” he looked down at her with cold.


    eyes.


    “Stupid?! Your King kidnapped me! He is a shameless abductor! When Daran kills


    him-


    “He can’t,” Clemente said in a t tone.


    “Of course, he can! You saw how he ripped off Westin’s flesh-


    “They are equally strong, yes. But he won’t be able to kill my king. I know that for a fact.”


    J let out a loud sarcasticugh.


    Her chest was about to explode with anger and frustration.


    “The king wille back within an hour. And when he does


    Clemente nced at J.


    There was a hint of pity in his eyes.


    You better pray that his mind is clouded by rage.”


    So they sat there and waited.


    J rested her head on her knees, keeping her eyes on the dark forest.


    She really hoped that it could be Daran who stepped out of the woods the next second, walking up


    to her and telling her that they were going home.


    After what felt like an eternity, a blundering figure came into her sight.


    J’s heart started racing wildly.


    Then it sunk the next second as though she missed a step going downstairs.


    ….It wasn’t Daran.


    Westin walked up to her at a slow pace. His right leg was injured. And there were numerous


    bleeding wounds on his body.


    He looked horrible, defeated..


    Those blue eyes of his, once gentle and soft, were now dark with a storm building in


    them.


    J red at him..


    “…Fuck you,” she hissed.


    She had nothing to lose now.


    She couldn’t be bothered to hide her hatred.


    Westin let out a cold sneer.


    He caught her chin and caressed her skin with his thumb.


    “I love you so much, J…and I can be a really good lover. You know that…” he said in a light yet


    dangerous voice. “… But why do you have to turn me into aplete jerk?”


    “You are a jerk. You always are!” she trembled under his touch.


    Westin lifted his lips into a faint smile, staring straight into her fearful eyes, “You just got yourself into


    a lot of trouble, my love.”
