The Lycan Prince’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance) novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234

I look at Amara, then back at Isolde. “Your pack is cursed?”

Isolde nods, fresh tears leaking out. “It’s a secret. I’ve never told anyone, not even you, Amara. My pack, the Glacier Pack… we’re cursed. Every Alpha and Luna who mates within the pack dies within five years of the union. So up until now, we have no actual Alpha or Luna. Because of the fear of dying. The curse is designed to wipe us out. My grandma said the only way to break it is if th future Alpha or Luna is mated to a species that isn’t a wolf. I never believed her. I thought the old woman was just going senile Bu

now…”

“Wow,” Amara says, her mouth hanging open. “That is… heavy.”

Isolde stands up, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. “And now, the supposed mate just ran from me like I was something

disgusting. He smelled me, he knew I was his mate, and he ran.”

I feel a deep, aching sadness for her. I want to tell her that I’ll fix it, that I’ll beat some sense into my brother, but I don’t even

know Nick enough to know what’s going on in his mind.

“I…I need to be alone,” she says, her voice flat.

Isolde

“Please, I’m sorry guys. I really am. But… I just need to.” she cuts me off, walking away down the hallway.

I take a step to follow her, but Amara puts a hand on my shoulder, stopping me. “Let her go, Lyra. She needs space.”

I watch her go with my heart feeling heavy. First, my brother claims to be royalty and tells me to kill Kai, and now he’s out here

rejecting mates and breaking hearts? Am I in crazy town?

Amara sighs, turning to me. “Okay. That was intense. But we have other issues to face. We need to talk about Kai and Roman.”

The topic switch gives me whiplash as I blink. “What? Why?”

“Well, Amara says, pulling me toward the cafeteria building, “you’re back in the same space as both of them. Something is bound to

happen. Have you seen or spoken to either of them since you got back?”

I look away, feeling my face heat up. “I… I ran into Kai.”

Amara squeals, grabbing my arm. “Yep! You definitely did! I was counting on that. Did you guys finally get down again? Tell me

everything!”

E

Amara, no!” I hiss, looking around to make sure no one heard. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

“We are going to talk about it,” she insists, dragging me toward the food line. “Over lunch at the cafe, Don’t think you’re escaping

this.”

Chapter 234

I let out a defeated groan, but I let her drag me along. The cafe is packed. The air is filled with the smell of coffee and cooked food,

We grab two plates of salads and find a table near the window.

As soon as we sit down, a guy stops at our table. He’s clearly a Level 3 student, he has that arrogant, powerful posture that all the top-tier academy students carry. He’s tall, with messy dark hair and a confident grin that screams “trouble.”

“Hey,” he says, leaning on our table. “You’re Lyra, right?”

I look up, surprised. “Uh, yeah. That’s me.”

“I’m Andrew,” he says, his eyes roaming over me with a look that makes me feel like I’m being sized up for a fight, or something ́else. “I’ve always been a fan of you ever since you aced those combat arena games. You’ve got spirit.”

“Thanks,” I say, trying to sound polite but unbothered.

“So I was wondering,” he continues, his grin widening, “if you’d be my date to the bonfire that’s happening tonight?”

I stare up at him in surprise. He wants me to date him? I’m about to say absolutely not, and thank you for asking, when Amara

suddenly slams her fork down on the table.

“Of course she will!” Amara chirps. She turns to me with her eyes wide and pleading. “Right, Lyra?”

I stare at her, my jaw dropping. What is she doing? I look at Andrew, who is waiting for an answer with that smug, handsome look on his face. I can’t exactly say no now without making a scene in front of everyone.

“Um… sure,” I mumble hesitantly.

“Cool,” Andrew says, unfazed. “I’ll send you a message online. Hope you accept my request.”

He winks at me and walks away.

My face burns with fury and frustration as I gave my friend. “Are you out of your mind? Why would you do that?!”
