The Lycan Prince’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance)

Chapter 182

The guards begin to drag me toward the doors. I try to drag my feet on the floot but they drag me anyway. Just as we’re about to reach the exit, a voice cuts

through the chaos.

“Stop!”

Everyone freezes. The guards stop moving. I look up, my vision blurry with tears.

It’s Ryan. He steps forward and looks at me. For a second, I see the boy I used to know. The boy who used to bring me wildflowers and tell me I was the

most beautiful girl in the world.

“This isn’t Lyra’s fault,” he says, his voice shaking but loud. “It’s mine.”

The atmosphere in the room shifts instantly. It’s like the air has been sucked out of the hall.

Alpha Rafa stands up, his eyes narrowing. “Explain what you mean, boy.”

Ryan looks at me sadly, a look of pure regret on his face..

“I…I wanted her back. I couldn’t stand the thought of her being with anyone else. I deliberately wanted to mark Lyra so she would be mine again. So I…had her drugged. She didn’t want any of it. She fought me until the drug made her unconscious. Everything in that photo was staged by me and…”

He hesitates, looking at Daisy for a split second, before looking back at the Alpha. “…and my own desperation.”

The shock is absolute. I feel the guards‘ grip on my arms loosen. The pack members are talking loudly now, their eyes turning toward Ryan with anger.

Alpha Rafa let’s out a roar of fury. He storms forward and delivers a brutal slap to Ryan’s face, sending him crashing to the ground.

“I will kill you!” the Alpha yells, his hand going to Ryan’s neck and squeezing so hard. “You tried to force my daughter into a mate bond? You drugged her in

my own house?”

Luna Sarah rushes forward, grabbing her husband’s arm. She looks panicked, her eyes darting around the room.

“Rafa! Please! Remember we’re in public. Stop it! Stop it!” she begs. “We can’t afford to punch him when this is the case! Think about the scandal!”

“He tried to violate my daughter!” the Alpha shouts, trying to shake her off.

“I know! I know!” the Luna says, her voice low and frantic. She turns and glares at me with a look of pure venom before turning back to her husband. “But maybe… maybe we can spin this around so no one loses. Think, Rafa. If we kill him or exile him now, it only makes everything worse. The shame won’t

lessen.”

There is a long, tense silence in the hall. i stay where I am, my breath freezing in my chest. I know the Luna is up to no good. I can see the gears turning in

her head, she’s already calculating how to turn this back into a win for Daisy.

‘What do you mean?” Alpha Rafa asks, his voice trembling with suppressed rage.

“Instead of banishing either of them, the Luna says, her voice smoothing out into that manipulative tone she uses. “I think they should be mated together. Clearly, there is still a bond there if he was driven to such lengths. If they mate, it validates the photo. It makes it a story of lost lovers finding their way

back.”

Chapter 182-

She forks at Daisy, who is new watching with a barely hidden excited expression.

“And Daisy,” the Luna continues, Daisy gets the chance to find her… second–chance mate. She can be the noble sister who stepped aside for her sister’s

happiness. Everyone wins.”

I freeze. My heart feels like it’s stopped beating. I look at Daisy, and I see the look of victory. She smiles at me, showing me that she’s getting what she

wants.

This was the plan. This was always the plan. They didn’t just want to ruin me; they wanted to lock me in a cage. They wanted to bind me to Ryan so I could

never go back to the Academy, never see Kai or Roman, and never be a threat to Daisy’s ambitions again.

“No, I whisper. “No, no, no… this isn’t…”

Alpha Rafa walks over to me. He pulls me into a hug, but it doesn’t feel like a hug. It feels like a shackle. He leans down and whispers into my ear, his voice

low so only the inner circle can hear.

“Daughter, now that I think about it, this might be the best way to end the scandal. If you and Ryan mate, everyone will believe that you’re true mates. The world will stop talking. Do this for me, daughter. Please. I promise to make everything right from now on. I’ll give you whatever you want.”

I push him away with all the strength I have left.

“Nothing will be right! I will not mate with the boy who rejected me! I will not be a pawn in your games! I prefer dying! I prefer being exiled to the darkest

corner of the world before I spend a single night with him!”

Luna Sarah steps forward, her face hardening. “Shut up, Lyra. You have no choice.”

She turns to the audience, her voice loud and authoritative. “My daughter Lyra and Ryan Kent will have their mate ceremony as soon as possible! Tonight!

We celebrate a reunion!”

The hall erupts in cheers. The pack members, always hungry for a celebration and a happy ending, start talking all at once. They don’t see my tears. They

don’t hear my screams.

“No! Please! I don’t want this! Don’t do this to me!” I yell, but my voice is drowned out by the noise.

Luna Sarah ignores me completely. “Someone call the pack officiator. We begin the mating ceremony now!”

“No! Please! I don’t want him!” I scream, reaching out for Uncle Cassian, but the guards grab me again.

“What you want doesn’t matter, Lyra,” the Luna says coldly.
