The Lycan Prinee’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance)

Chapter 151

Lyra

I don’t know why I feel like this, but there is something so familiar about this stranger, yet I’m certain I’ve never seen him before in my life. Maybe it’s the hair, or the eyes that look so much like mine, but I feel like I’m looking at a piece of a puzzle I didn’t know was missing

The guy smiles, and it’s a bright, easy expression. “Well,” he says, a smooth and clear voice, “you should probably stop gawking at me as if I have two heads or something.”

I feel the heat rush to my cheeks instantly. I look down at the floor, suddenly very interested in the dust on my boots “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to stare. You just… you startled me.”

“It’s okay,” he says. He reaches out and gently picks up the book from my hands.

He’s incredibly tall. Standing this close to him, I have to crane my neck just to see his face. He looms over me, but unlike Kai, his presence doesn’t feel heavy or suffocating. It feels light.

This book you see here, is about the Sun God,” he says, looking at the cover. He looks back at me, his blue eyes searching mine. “For you to read and truly

understand this book, Lyra, you have to be open–minded with your shifter. Only then will your mind be able to grasp the knowledge behind everything

written here.”

I frown, my confusion growing. “How do you know my name? And why do you care about what I’m reading? Who are you, anyway?” From the way he talks,

he doesn’t even sound like your average he–wolf you see everyday.

The strange guy goes quiet for a moment. He looks at the book, then back at me, his expression unreadable. “I just wanted to help a stranger,” he says softly. “But if you don’t want my help, then maybe I should just back off.”

He starts to turn away with the white–gold book still in his hand.

“Wait! Wait,” I say as I hastily grab his arm. His skin is unnaturally warm, practically burning through his clothes.

He turns back with a small, knowing smile playing on his lips. “Yes?”

“I didn’t say I didn’t want help,” I mutter, letting go of his arm. “I’m just… I’ve had a weird week. I’m Lyra Diamond. And you are?”

“I already know your name,” he dodges.

“And I asked for yours,” I insist, crossing my arms. “I don’t usually take advice from nameless people in restricted library wings.”

He chuckles playfully. “Fair point. My name is Nick.”

“Nick,” I repeat. It sounds so normal for someone who looks so unreal. I want to ask his last name but something tells me he won’t say. “Do you come here often? I’ve spent every day in this library for a week and I’ve never seen you.”

‘I’m around, Nick says vaguely. “I like the quiet.”

“But this part is off–limits,” I point out, gesturing to the heavy chains on the nearby shelves. “The guardian only let me in because I’ve been pestering him

for days.”

Chapter 151

Nick prine Well, maybe I just know how to bribe the guardian better than you do.”

I can’t help but laugh. There’s something so easy about talking to him. “So… what level are you in? I haven’t seen you in any of the Level One or Two combat

classes.”

“No level,” he says.

I blink, confused. “No level? Are you a teacher? A guest?”

“You could call it that,” he says, not giving anything away.

Ugh! Who is this guy? I need to know him. I want to ask him a thousand more questions. I’m intrigued by him, drawn to him in a way that feels instinctive,

like my fox is leaning toward him. Nick doesn’t wait for my next question as he opens the book to a marked page and holds it out so we can both read.

My eyes scan the ancient text.

It talks about the Sun King–a being of immense power. To wield the power of the sun is to hold the threads of life itself, the book reads. The flame of the sun does not just destroy, it purifies. It is the originator of all healing and restoration.”

I look at the words, my breath hitching. “Healing and restoration?”
