The Lycan Prince’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance) novel Chapter 185

The Lycan Prinee’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance)

Chapter 185

I watch Lyra. She’s standing in frost of a pulpit, looking small and fragile while standing in front of the alpha and Luna. Her hair is a mess, and her face is pale. My whole body itches with the need to get to her immediately, but I don’t. I stay behind the pillar and watch in silence.

I watch as her mother, the Luna stands up and starts screaming. She’s calling Lyra a whore. She’s saying she will be exiled for what she did with Ryan.

I listen as Lyra tries to defend herself. Her voice is shaky, but there’s a strength in it I haven’t heard before.

“Why should I be exiled?!” she cries.

Some pack members start to speak up for her. I see a girl in the crowd yelling that she agrees with Lyra. Others join in. For a moment, it looks like Lyra

might win against her cruel parents.

But then the Luna shouts and tells them to be silent. She tells Lyra she is going to be exiled regardless.

And then Lyra asks the question that causes everyone in the room to be shocked.

“Who are my real parents?”

I watch in awe as she stands her ground. She’s not the timid girl I met months ago. She’s a queen standing in a room full of peasants. She tells the Alpha

not to call her daughter. She tells the Luna to go to hell.

‘She’s such a badass! Woah!‘ Vlad comments happily.

The Luna gets angry. “You insolent child!” She says as she marches down and slaps Lyra across the face.

My vision goes red again. I want to jump down there and rip that woman’s arm off. I want to crush her skull for touching Lyra. But I hold myself back. I

need to hear the rest.

The guards grab Lyra. They start dragging her toward the door. I’m already about to step out of where I’m hiding, ready to drop down and slaughter them

all. But then, the Ryan boy yells.

“Stop!”

The room goes dead silent. I freeze behind the pillar.

“This isn’t Lyra’s fault,” Ryan says. “It’s mine.”

I listen as he confesses everything. He drugged her because he wanted to mark her by force. He also staged the photo. The alpha surprisingly attacks the boy for doing that to his daughter. This is the first time I’ve seen him act like an actual father.

I close my eyes as every bit of anger I felt toward Lyra vanishes, replaced by a guilt so heavy it makes my chest ache. I doubted her. I believed the lie. And all the while, she was being tortured by these people. She was fucking drugged.

‘Roman was right,‘ Vlad whispers, and he sounds as miserable as I feel. I shouldn’t have let her come back here, knowing what they did to her, It’s more my

fault.

I watch as the Luna tries to fix the mess. She doesn’t want to punish Ryan. She wants to use this in her own favor. She tells the Alpha that they should just

mate Lyra and Ryan together to kill the scandal.”

Chapter 185

Lyra starts to ery and scream as she begs them not to do this.

“No! Please! I don’t want him!”

That’s it. I can’t take another second

I jump out from the shadows of the window. There’s a guard standing by the door, looking into the hall. I don’t even think about it. I hit him with a blow so powerful he flies through the air and grashes into the door of the hall and forces them open with a bang that sounds like a bomb blast.

The room goes silent. Every head turns toward the entrance.

I walk slowly. The only sound is my boots clicking on the floor. I don’t look at the crowd. I only look at her.

“Well, well,” I say, my voice echoing in the silence. “It seems I got here at the exact right time.”

I see the moment Lyra recognizes me. Her eyes go wide, and the terror in them is replaced by something else. Relief. Pure unadulterated relief. That’s right

baby, I’m here now. No one will touch you again.

“Kai…” she whispers.

I walk toward her, ignoring the Alpha and the Luna as they scramble around me. Everyone in the hall bows their heads as I pass, They can feel the Lycan

power rolling off me in waves.

“Your Highness…” the Luna stammers. Her face is white as a sheet. “We… we were not expecting you… we are so sorry… how can we help you?”

“Keep quiet,” I say. My voice is like ice.

She shuts her mouth instantly, looking down at the floor like a rejected dog.

I reach Lyra. I don’t care who is watching. I reach out and cup her face softly, my thumb brushing over the red mark where her mother slapped her. My heart

twists.

“Are you alright?” I ask her. My voice is softer now, only for her. “Have you been hurt? Tell me the truth, Lyra.”

She looks up at me, and a small, faint smile touches her lips. “I’m fine now,” she whispers,

I don’t believe her but I nod.

I turn around. My gaze lands on Ryan. He’s standing a few feet away, looking like he wants to disappear into the ground.

“You,” I say.

I walk toward him. Ryan tries to back away, but he hits the wall.

“You’re the one that drugged her?” I ask. My voice is dangerously quiet. “You forcefully tried to claim her? You fucking dared to touch her?”

The Luna tries to step in again. “My Prince, please… we can explain… it was just a party… most of the young ones were drunk… he was confused…”
