The Lycan Prince’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229

Frustration mixes with my confusion. I glare at the screen, my jaw clenching tightly. He’s a palace guard, a delta who is supposedly hiding right under the King’s nose, yet he has the time to track my phone? I open the keyboard again, pouring all my panic into the

text.

> Me: Why do I have to be the one to set things right? You said you’re also a fox and a prince of the sun King and Queen. Why don’t you do it yourself? Why don’t you take over the kingdom yourself? Why have you been hiding all these years? >

I hold my breath, waiting. The classroom around me continues to murmur as the teacher describes the ancient wars, but the noise sounds completely muffled to my ears. Finally, a long paragraph drops on my screen.

Unknown Number: Because it’s not my destiny. If you had stayed a while and given me a chance to explain, I would have. You see, you’re special in a way no one else is, not even our father and mother. I’m only a fox shifter, Lyra. I’m not a phoenix. I don’t possess the power and gifts that you’ve been blessed with by the sun itself. That is why you’re the only one who can defeat the evil. That is why I’ve been waiting for you all these years. >

I stare at the text, my mind spinning into a fresh wave of dizziness. Could he really be telling the truth? Is it actually possible that I’m that powerful? I swallow the lump in my throat as I type back.

Me: So you’re saying that you’re not as powerful as a Lycan? How then did our parents rule the shifter kingdom in the past? >

The typing bubbles appear, disappear, and then appear again. Nick is typing for what feels like an eternity before the message finally pops onto my screen.

> Unknown Number: A fox is the only being that shares a link with the sun phoenix. This is because over a thousand years ago, when the phoenix spirit came to our world, it specifically chose the fox animal to link with. At the time, foxes were considered weak and untrustworthy by other shifters, so they lived as slaves and in secret. That is why to this day, foxes are incredibly rare. >

I blink, reading the text rapidly as he continues to send more.

>Unknown Number: Anyway, the phoenix spirit chose a girl who was a fox shifter just because of her pure heart. She became a hybrid of phoenix and fox, gaining powers far beyond that of any regular shifter, Unimaginable abilities like being able to heal any wound, being able to manipulate things with her mind, and being able to wield the sun itself. So she was called the Sun Phoenix Queen. Queen Alara. The first of her kind. >

A gasp dies in my throat. I lean my back against my classroom chair, feeling completely overwhelmed by the historical events he’s telling me. My hands feel clammy and sweaty.

I realize that I possess almost the same kinds of abilities that he mentioned. Does this mean…?

Before I can even process the information, another text message drops

future. So Lyrastra, you are a fox and a phoenix. You are not just a princess, but a queen. And you have to save this world from the

terrible reign of the Lycans and Demons. Read the book of the sun king in the restricted vault if you still do not believe me. Then

you will believe. >

I stare blankly at the final sentence, the name Lyrastra

burning into my eyes. Deep down in the quietest, most hidden spaces of my soul, I know he is telling the truth. Every single nightmare, every single physical reaction I’ve had around Kai, and the immense power Wyndra shows whenever she wakes up, it all fits together perfectly. I don’t want to believe it, but the truth is staring right back at me.

Suddenly, a hand violently grabs my phone right out of my fingers.

“Ah!”

A loud gasp of panic escapes me as I snap my head up. My heart drops straight into my stomach. Standing directly over my desk is the history teacher. Her arms are crossed tightly over her chest, her dark eyes glaring down at me with anger. The entire classroom goes silent, every single student turning around in their seats to stare at me. Shit.

“I am so glad to see you finally decided to join us, Miss Diamond,” the teacher says, her voice dripping with an icy venom.

“Ma’am, 1-1 am so s-sorry,” I stammer, my face flushing a deep crimson as I reach out for my phone. “Please, I was just-I can put it
