Chapter 199
“You can kill me as much as you wagt when we are safe, he replies softly, his fand gently stroking the fur on my head
The white light begins to fade. I can feel Wyndra’s consciousness rapidly retracting back into the shadows of my mind, helpless against the strength of sedative. The silver fur disappears, my bones shift back one last time as I return to my human form.
My eyes close, and everything goes completely black.
Kai’s POV
I catch Lyra the second her human form returns, her limp body falls limply into my arms.
I drop to my knees on the grass, carefully cradling her against my chest. She looks so beautiful, so completely innocens lying there with her eyes closed silver hair splayed across my lap. My heart breaks for her in a way it never has for anyone else, she is so young, lust eighteen years old, and she has alre been through more pain and betrayal than most wolves experience in a lifetime. Looking down at her pate face, an overwhelming urge to protect her from the rest of the world surges through my veins. I will burn every kingdom to the ground before I let anyone eise hurt her.
Suddenly, my Lycan ears twitch.
I freeze, my entire body locking up as a sound echoes from faraway in the woods. footsteps. The breaking of branches. They are moving through the brush and they are heading straight toward our location. They are tracking her scent.
Fuck.
I snap my head up, glaring toward the entrance of the oasis. I look over at Jackson, who is still sitting in the dirt, looking completely dazed.
“Get up,” I bark, my voice dropping into a low, dangerous command. “Those demons are coming here right now. They’ve picked up her trail. You better find some place to hide yourself if you want to live.”
I slide one arm under Lyra’s knees and the other behind her back, lifting her securely into my arms as I stand up. I turn on my heel, ready to sprint deeper
into the mountains where the demons can never trace us. I have a house, somewhere not too far from the academy and not close to the palace. It’s a place disappear to when I want to be alone. Only Damon knows of its existence. Well, Damon and soon Lyra. I turn to leave.
“Wait!” Jackson yells, making me pause.
I don’t turn back to look at him. My grip on Lyra tightens. “What?” I snap impatiently.
୮
Jackson runs up to me. He drops to his knees right on the path, his hands clasped together. “Please… Prince Kai, please. Let me come with you. Allow me to
follow you.”
“No,” I say coldly. “You’ll only slow me down.”
“Please!” Jackson begs, a sob catching in his throat. “I am begging you. Let me come. I need to be with my sister while she’s still grieving. I can’t leave alone after what happened to Uncle Cassian. Please.”
I slowly turn my head, throwing a piercing glare over my shoulder at him. My eyes flash a dangerous shade of red. “Your sister? Tell me, Jackson. Has she ever truly been your sister? Where the hell was this love when your mother was treating her like a slave? Where were you when Ryan Kent dragged her?”
Jackson looks down at the dirt, the guilt turning his face completely pale as fresh tears spill over his eyes. “I know,” he whispers. “I kww i was a rats. I know I didn’t do enough. But yes… she is my sister. I love her so much, Your Highness. No matter what she is, she will always be my little Lyta. Please.

Please don’t leave me behind to die. Lef ifte come with you.”
Before I can give him an answer, the sound of a voice echoes from the trees just outside the oasis borders.
“Follow the footprints! She went into hidden valley! Move!”
The demons are closer. They are almost here.
I look back at Jackson, my jaw clenching as I make a split-second decision. I don’t have the time to argue, and leaving him here means the demons will
torture him to find out where I took her.
“You better be ready to shift to your wolf right now,” I hiss at him, my voice cutting through the air like a knife. “And you better pray to the Goddess you can keep up with a Lycan pace. Because if you fall behind, I am not coming back for you.”
