The Lycan Prince’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance)

Chapter 111

Lyra

The moment the door clicks shut behind Kai, I finally let out the breath I’ve been holding. My lungs actually ache from how tight my chest was. Goddess, why does he have to be so intense all the time? Every time he looks at me with those green eyes, it’s like he’s trying to reach inside and suck out my soul. It’s exhausting. When is this feeling ever going to end?

‘You know exactly when,’ Wyndra’s voice purrs in the back of my mind.

‘Don’t you dare,’ I say out loud to the empty room. “Don’t even start, Wyndra. I already know what you’re going to say, and I don’t want to hear it.”

She laughs at me, but thankfully, she doesn’t say anything else.

I take a moment to just sit there, feeling the softness of the mattress under me. I really want to stay in this bed forever. It’s the most comfortable thing I’ve ever felt. But I know I can’t. I have to get moving. I gently remove the covers and swing my legs over the side of the bed, and that’s when I finally notice

what I’m wearing.

My heart stops.

Instead of my own clothes, I’m wearing a long, deep blue t-shirt. It’s huge on me, the hem reaching halfway down my thighs, and the fabric is very soft and comfy. But it’s the smell that hits me first. It smells like cedar, rain, and that distinctive, addictive scent that belongs only to… Kai.

“Why the hell am I wearing his shirt?” I yell, my voice cracking with panic. I grab the fabric and it up to my nose. I close my eyes and take in a deep breath before I even realize what I’m doing. I quickly drop my hand. “Did he… did he strip me? Oh, no. Oh, gods, no.”

I can feel the heat rushing to my face, my cheeks are burning so hot I’m surprised they aren’t smoking. My hands start to shake as I look down at my bare legs. I’m not wearing anything under.

‘Relax, Lyra,’ Wyndra says, her tone bored. ‘He didn’t actually do anything scandalous. You were having a fit in your sleep, remember? Your clothes were damp with sweat and you were shivering. He just changed you into something dry so you wouldn’t get sick.’

1 grip the edge of the table as my head spins. “So that means… he saw me? He saw my nakedness?”

Wyndra snorts. I can practically see her rolling her eyes. And why shouldn’t he? He’s literall your mate, Lyra. It’s not like he hasn’t seen it all in his head a thousand times already.’

“Wynn! Please stop saying that! You keep filling my head with these delusions. It doesn’t matter what you think. I am not his mate His mate is the Princess Rina is his future Queen, and I’m just… I’m the girl he keeps on a leash.”

‘Oh well, you can keep lying to yourself for as long as you want,’ Wyndra replies, sounding like she’s fed up with arguing. But deep down, you know the truth. You felt it when you brought him back to life. You feci it every time he touches you.’

I ignore her. I have to. If I let myself believe for even a second that Kai and I belong together, I’ll end up destroyed.

“I can’t stay in this room forever,” I say to myself, trying to find some focus. I have to find my friends. I need to see Erika.”

But first, I need clothes. Real clothes. If Rina walks in and sees me wearing her mate’s shirt, I’m dead. She won t just lock me in a basement, she’ll probably have me executed on the spot.

I spend the next hour frantically searching the suite. I eventually find a set of my own spare clothes that had been washed and property uuned i scrub my

Tare, pull-on a simple sweater and jeans, and try to make myself took like I haven’t just spent the night in the Prince’s bed.

I slip out of the room and head toward the lecture building. My heart is racing as I check the notifications sent by my virtual assistant, Parish.

“You have missed two periods and one written test, Lyra Diamond,” the robotic voice inferms me.
