Those words echoed in my brain and circled around in my head repeatedly. Tears bubbled out of my eyes and down my face, and I couldn’t see anything as I walked.

But I didn’t stop walking.

I walked and walked, pushing my legs past their comfort zone. Pain lanced through my legs, but I didn’t stop. I had no idea where I was going, and I frankly didn’t care.

Every breath I took was a punishment, a reminder that the world kept moving forward even when my entire life had just ended.

All because I loved a boy.

All because I wanted him to love me back.

Pain and grief at the life I had just lost wrapped around me like shroud, and a part of me knew that I would never ever recover from this.

But still I walked. That was all that was left for me to do, now that I had been disgracefully sent out of the Pack with nothing but the clothes on my back.

As I walked, I didn’t pay any heed to my environment. So when heard footsteps and voices floating towards me, I froze.

I had no idea what part of the woods I was, only that I had walked a long distance away from home.

My heart started to pound anew in my chest as I walked closer to the voices, and I tried to be as silent as possible.

If Lucas and his friends had trailed me up to this point again, then there would be no escape for me.

But the closer I got, the clearer the voices were.

And the people speaking were not boys. No. They were men.

I crouched down and moved closer, the pounding in my chest making it hard for me to hear anything.

I had no idea if these men were wolves like I was, but if they were, then I had to be very very careful.

Still I got closer, until I could see them clearly.

Four large, muscular men, sitting round a fire. They were bundled in furs that looked and was probably expensive, and they laughed and they ate what looked like meat.

A frown furrowed on my face.

Who could they be?

Merchants?

Foreigners?

Wolves from other Packs?

Chapter 2

“You can’t possibly think that they don’t know you’re here, do you?” a voice drawled behind me.

Startled, I jumped as I whirled around, and my heart threatened o fall out of my chest.

The man who had spoken was leaning against a tree, and his face was expressionless.

He looked bored, and my heart stuttered in my chest at how beautiful he was.

But most importantly, I had to take a step back from him. Because I know who he was, and if he decided that I wasn’t worth his time, he could very well decide to kill me.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, the question scraping along my throat as I spoke.

He raised his eyebrows at me.

“You know who I am,” he stated. His words weren’t a question. It was a statement.

I swallowed a lump in my throat.

Of course I knew who he was. Everyone in school knew who he was, and I had seen pictures of him shared from one group chat to the other.

Half of the girls in school had a massive crush on him. I wondered how they would react if they knew that Kai Thomefall was even more good looking in flesh.

When he realised that I wasn’t going to say anything, Kai went on

“What are you doing here, Princess?” he asked.

“I…I am not a princess,” I said quietly, my voice coming out lower than I intended.

“You are clearly not from here. You reek of tears and sadness, and you are way too fragile to be a warrior. So you’re either the only daughter of an Alpha who lost her way while flower hunting, or you’re a spy. Which one are you?”

My jaw dropped open at his explanation and how totally wrong he was.

But since he had no idea who I was, i figured that it would be better if I left now. Once news spread about what I did, he might end out finding out.

And I wouldn’t want the Lycan King to hear about how disgusting I was, right?

“I’m sorry if I am interrupting anything. I had no idea that I had wandered into your territory. I’ll leave now,” I said quietly.

Kai said nothing, and I was about to leave when he spoke again.

“Which Pack are you from?” he asked.

My heart stopped beating at his words.

If I told him the truth and he found out what happened, my shame would extend into the headquarters where he stayed.

And rumors might even end up filtering into other neighbouring Packs. Lucas would most definitely be praised for being a man, and I…I would become a universal laughing stock.

I shook my head at his question.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think where I come from is any of your business. Like I said earlier, I am more than happy to leave.” I insisted, and my voice came out firmer than before.

I had to protect my pride from this man. He was the King, after. Even if it was weird that he was standing in the middle of the woods and exchanging words with me right now.

Kai cocked his head to the side as he regarded me in silence. My heart flickered slightly at the intensity of his gaze, but I held my ground.

The Lycan King might be terrifying, but he wasn’t going to bully one into telling him my deepest and most shameful secret.

“You are weak, and something clearly happened to you. Your eyes are puffy from crying so much, but you’re too stubborn to tell me who you are or what you’re doing in my woods. You are o proud to be a runway, and too stubborn to be a spy. Tell me what you are, Princess,” he insisted.

Surprise slammed into me at how perceptive he was, and I took step back in a bid to put some distance between us.

My wolf was whining and trying to tell me something, but I shut her out.

Not now.

“I already told you that I will leave now –” I stared to say, but he interrupted me.

“Who hurt you?” he asked curtly.

I froze. Pain flickered in my eyes at his words, and his eyes narrowed at my reaction.

Kai took a step closer, and his expression shifted from blandness into what looked like confusion.

He inhaled slowly, as if he was tasting the air between us.

I was about to take another step away when he spoke again.

“Don’t move.”

His voice was low, and it was threaded with an emotion I didn’t understand. Something about the way he spoke make the hairs on my arms rise, and the whining of my wolf got stronger.

“You are going to answer each and every question now, Princess. And don’t tell me that it’s none of my business, because it is. Whoever hurts my mate is my enemy too. Now tell me the truth. Who. Made. You. Cry?”

The entire world tilted at his words.

Did Kai Thornefall, Lycan King of all werewolves, just call me his…Mate?
