The Lycan Prinee’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance)

Chapter 129

Without waiting for Erika to say anything else, I turn and walk away, ignoring the curious stares and the whispers of the crowd. My heart is brea keep my head high. Amara and Talde stay behind, still yelling at her, but I don’t look back. I just want to get to Kara’s apartment. I need the qu

peace.

As I reach the apartment complex, I wipe the tears from my eyes. I feel so incredibly betrayed.

‘I’m sorry, Wyndra,‘ I whisper in my mind. ‘I’m sorry I didn’t believe you shout her.”

‘It’s not your fault you trusted a bitch,‘ Wyndra replies. ‘I just wish you had shown her a lesson when she tried to shame you. A good claw to the face wou done wonders.”

I manage a small, sad smile. “She’s not worth it, Wyndra. She’s already lost everything.”

I round the corner of the hallway, my mind a million miles away, and collide straight into someone.

“Easy there,” a warm voice says.

I look

and see Prince Roman. He’s smiling down at me, looking handsome and slightly sweaty, like he’s just come from the training grounds.

“Hi, Roman,” I say shyly.

Before I can say anything else, he pulls me into a hug. It’s a playful, innocent embrace. “I knew you could do it,” he says, pulling back to look at me. “Not

that I didn’t trust you to ace your test, but congratulations! A bonafide member of the Academy.”

“Thank you,” I say, feeling my face heat up.

He leans down and drops a soft kiss on my cheek. I immediately fight the urge to look around. My heart races, and for some reason, I’m scared that a certam

someone is watching.

Why am even worried about him? I’m doing nothing wrong!

I force myself to relax and smile back at Roman. He’s been nothing but kind and friendly to me.

“I have one question for you, though,” Roman says, his expression turning curious.

“What is it?”

“Tell me, are you actually wolfless?” he asks. “Or do you perhaps have a wolf and you just don’t want anyone to know? I mean, you can treat me right? I con keep a secret.”

I’m so surprised by the question that I anually burst into laughter. Konan stares at me as if he’s confused by my reaction.

“The tact that you think I have a wolf is so funny, Roman, I tie smoothly, shaking my head.

His cheeks redden with umbarassment as he cubes the back of his neck. “Well, I just had to ask. we heard sie ruths around the halls, Brday saying you’re actually not as helpless as your seem.”

Whatever you heard, it’s not true, I tell him. I’m will just me. Now, I real lune të.

Chapter 129

Tturn to leave, but Roman reaches out and grabs my hand, pulling me back. I look at him, confused.

“There’s one more thing we haven’t talked about, Lyra,” he says. His voice drops to a more serious tone.

“What?”

“We didn’t talk about what happened in the maze garden,” he says.

My face immediately heats up. I look down at my shoes, unable to meet his eyes. The memory of that kiss–and Kai’s reaction–is still fresh.

“I’m sorry for kissing you like that, unexpectedly,” Roman says. “I was just so excited when I read your letter. I thought you were finally giving me

I look up, my brow furrowing. “Roman, I hope you know I didn’t write that letter. It was a setup. Princess Rina and my friend Erika… they planned th thing to get me in trouble.”

Roman nods, but he doesn’t let go of my hand. “I know that now. But honestly? I don’t care. I don’t regret kissing you, Lyra. My only regret is that my cousin had to cause such a scene and ruin the moment.”

I stare at him, speechless. He doesn’t regret it?

Roman steps closer, his other hand coming up to touch my cheek. His thumb brushes over the spot where Erika slapped me, his touch gentle. “I haven’t b able to stop thinking about that moment,” he whispers. “That was when I knew. Without a doubt.”

“Knew what?” I breathe.

“That you are my mate,” he says.

I freeze. My heart stops. “Your… mate?” I stammer. “How can I be your mate, Roman? That’s… that’s impossible,”

“Do you not feel the bond?” he asks, searching my eyes. “Be honest with me, Lyra. Don’t be scared to admit it. I feel it every time you’re near me.

I’m so flustered I can’t even find the words to answer. My mind is a whirlwind. I like Roman, he’s beautiful and kind, but a mate bond? Is that why I kind of

like him? How can I be sure?

He starts to lean down, his eyes fixed on my lips. It’s happening again. He wants to kiss me. My heart races with uncertainty. I think of the way Kur looked at me in the garden. I think of the way my body reacts to Kai’s presence.

At the last second, I put my hands on Roman’s chest and gently push him back. “I’m sorry… but… I’m not ready for that komad I can’t.

Roman looks down, a flash of disappointment crossing his handsome features. I feel a pang of guilt in my chest. I hate making him sad, but I just don’t know what I feel right now. My head is spinning from Erikes betrayal and the shock of my own shift that I have to keep sectet
