The Lycan Prince’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228

The history lecture hall is suffocatingly quiet, save for the rhythmic tapping of the teacher’s heels against the

floor. I sit near the back of the room, my notebook open to a completely blank page.

My fingers tightly grip my pen, but my mind is miles away from the academic building.

Up at the front of the room, the female teacher paces back and forth in front of a large digital chalkboard.

“When we examine Lycanthropy ancestry, we are not just looking at a political timeline, the teacher says, her voice echoing

the whole room. “We are looking at the biological foundation of our entire society. Can someone tell me why the Lycan bloodline

maintains undisputed control over the shifter kingdoms?”

A she-wolf in the front row raises her hand immediately.

“Because of their physical supremacy, ma’am.”

“Exactly,” the teacher nods, turning to write the words Biological Dominance on the board in large strokes.

“The power of the Lycans is unparalleled. A true Lycan beast is the most powerful animal in existence. They possess ten times the

physical strength, speed, and raw sensory perception of any standard shifter species. They are engineered for absolute rule.”

Several students lean forward in their seats, whispering in low tones. They look at each other with wide eyes, completely captivated

by the lecture.

Normally, I would be too, but I remain completely silent, staring down at my desk. My chest feels incredibly tight, a heavy weight

pressing down on my lungs until it hurts to breathe. While the rest of the class listens with excitement, all I can think about is what

Nick told me down in the hidden catacombs.

Our bloodline is far older and more sacred than their entire monarchy.

You will have to kill the Lycan Prince. You have to kill Prince Kai.

A sharp ache blooms behind my eyes, and I bite the inside of my cheek to force back the tears of frustration pricking my eyelids.

But killing him? Taking a weapon and physically ending his life?

A shudder runs down my spine. How am I supposed to do something like that? Why does a terrifying destiny like this have to fall on

my shoulders? I’m just an eighteen-year-old girl trying to pass her classes.

I wish I had never followed Nick down that hallway. I wish I had never found out about the past life, the crumbling palace, or the

secret brother. I just want to go back to being invisible.

Buzz.

The sudden vibration of my phone cuts straight through my spiraling thoughts. I jump slightly in my seat, my heart racing-with anxiety. I quickly glance up at the teacher. She is still facing the whiteboard, deep into her lecture about royal pack treaties.

Stealthily, slip my phone out of my pocket and slide it under the shadow of my desk, keeping it hidden from the students sitting

next to me. The screen lights up with a notification from an unknown number.

My breath cuts as I tap the screen and read the message.
