Nichs gave the white wolf a look that was no less sharp. Both lycans stared at each other to size up and intimidate the opponent.


    Grrrrrr….


    Both Nichs and Lnd let out a roar. Nichs was taken aback when the figure of the white wolf he watched without blinking suddenly disappeared from sight and, within a split second, the white wolf appeared in front of Nichs'' face with glowing blue eyes.


    Nichs'' body was thrown backward. He tumbled and was knocked back through the weeds ten meters away as soon as his body received a blow.


    Nichs didn''t understand what the white wolf wanted to do to him until he was thrown.


    Pain ran through Nichs'' bones, but before he could stand up, Lnd had already run back toward him and jumped high to pounce on Nichs'' neck. The king quickly rolled to the right, got up, and immediately ran. Lnd instantly gave chase.


    The two wolves sped up and broke through the stalks of the weeds that towered over the vast ground.


    "What''s with him?" Amid his fast pace, Nichs wondered in his mind.


    What was the white wolf''s problem with him? Nichs felt an intense killing intent in every attack the white wolf threw at him as he dodged and narrowly avoided each one of them.


    Nichs continued to run, but he stopped when a shadow under the moonlight hit him.


    He looked up, and his eyes widened when he saw the white wolf charge towards him with ws ready to strike.


    Fortunately, Nichs had good reflexes. He quickly mmed his body to the side just before the white wolf''s ws hit his body and ended up hitting arge boulder behind him.


    Instantly the stone shattered into pieces and bounced in all directions.


    The incident was enough to spur Nichs'' adrenaline. Imagine if he had been toote to dodge by a second? He might have ended up like that rock.


    Lnd turned to face Nichs. The hatred in his eyes seemed to never subside. "You run like a mouse."


    A slight surprise was seen in Nichs'' eyes as he thought he heard the white wolf speak to him. But while he was still confused, Lnd attacked him again. This time, Nichs had to fight back as a fight was inevitable.


    They pounced on each other and took turns dropping and rolling among the weeds.


    Grrrr...


    Grrrr...


    Their roars scared the small animals around the ce.


    When Lnd attacked Nichs, Lnd pictured Sophie, Luciel, and Jan.


    ''If I kill him tonight, what will you guys think? I don''t know how you would react if you found out… and what you would think of me. The only thing I know right now is that I''m so afraid of losing you all.''


    Lnd increased the tempo of his attack and showed his superiority over Nichs.


    Roarr...


    Nichs roared in pain as Lnd''s sharp ws hit his back. Immediately, the blood gradually came out and dripped on the green grass.


    The attack made Nichs spontaneously turn to counterattack. However, Lnd very quickly aimed his ws and shed at Nichs'' chest.


    Blood gushed out from the open wound, along came a terrible stinging sensation. But there was no time toment about it as Nichs had to move quickly to evade and counter Lnd''s brutal attacks.


    Grrr...


    Grrr...


    The two wolves wrestled and aimed their ws and fangs to injure each other''s bodies. Wound after wound opened, and blood sttered on the grass and weeds that had ttened from their fight.


    This continued until Nichs'' body was thrown and ended up hitting a tree. A secondter, Nichs'' body copsed together with a tree behind him.


    Grrr...


    Lnd jumped andnded three meters in front of Nichs, then started to slowly step forward while he made an intimidating growl.


    Meanwhile, Nichs got up on shaky legs. His dark fur had turned darker from being covered and soaked in blood.


    Lnd also received a wound, and his snow-white fur was decorated with blood. But the wound Lnd received was not as terrible as the wounds received by Nichs.


    An unpleasant stinging sensation came from every open wound on Nichs'' body. But even so, he tried to stand up. He didn''t want to die like a fool in that ce. Not now and not as a lycan.


    Now Nichs had managed to straighten his body, and at the same time, Lnd jumped to pounce again. But at that crucial moment, some images of fragments of past memories shed through Nichs'' mind.


    The images showed Nichs as himself being a lycan, and he reflexively swung his ws just before Lnd pounced on him. After which, Nichs jumped back to put some distance.


    Blood gradually dripped from the wound across Lnd''s face. For a moment, Lnd held his wound and stared at the blood stuck to his hand.


    Several thin clouds seemed to cover the moon and made the atmosphere in the grasnds darker than before.


    At this moment, Lnd and Nichs once again stood opposite each other and stared intently at their enemy. A gust of wind rattled their blood-stained fur until five secondster, they raced against each other and fought at a speed the eye could not follow.


    All that could be seen were white shadows and dark shadows that struck at each other, ovepping and crashing.


    The rats that had previously been out to look for food, ran back into their burrows as the sound of a wolf''s howl fighting resounded throughout the meadow.


    Meanwhile, Noel and his team, who had recently left the vi and were on their way back to the royal pce, stopped when they heard loud roars and amotioning from the grassy fields behind the shady trees that nked the road.


    "This sound and presence, Chief...." One of Noel''s subordinates looked at Noel with a look that wanted to confirm the situation. Noel immediately nodded.


    After years of working as a lycan hunter, Noel and his subordinates could immediately tell that the creatures fighting at that three o''clock were lycans just by listening to the sound and feeling their aura.


    For a moment, Noel sighed deeply. There were suspicions he had about Nichs, but he never quite managed to confirm them.


    Thest five years where Noel became a steadfast friend and ally of Nichs made him feel that the interests of the king were at the right ce. However, for now, there was nothing for him to do but simply abide by his duties.


    Noel then nodded silently. He said, "All of you prepare, we will catch the monsters."

    It''s day 5 of self-istion, I am feeling much better (I slept most days) and my family seems to be doing okay. I hope I can resume publishing all my pending works (The Cursed Prince & The Alchemists) and maybe give a mass release for "The King''s Wife Is The Alpha''s Mate" next week.


    I already said I will publish a mass release IF THIS BOOK won the werewolf contest. So, your support definitely will help a lot. Vote,ment, and reviews are much much much appreciated.

    So, hopefully, they will announce it soon (thetest is by end of Feb).


    Anyway... if you are my first-time reader and enjoy this book a lot, and now feel sad because you have read thest avable chapter and now have to wait for the next updates, I can suggest you read my other books. I do have 6 others, and 1 is actually free. ALL OF THEM ARE COMPLETED, no need to wait for new chapters to enjoy the story.


    They are ranging from historical to modern and future, a prince who cannot touch women and is dying for an heir, immortal womanizer CEO who was never in love and finally got his karma, a princess from another with three doting husbands, a king who was cursed with immortality and had to wait to meet his wife again after 15 centuries, etc.


    To give you an idea, I havepiled the stats in thement for each book. Which book to start first, how likely you will cry reading them, how likely you willugh, how much you will pull your hair, how doting the husbands in that book would be, etc etc.
