The Lycan Prince’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238

He gives me one last reassuring smile before turning on his heel and walking away. I watch his retreating figure as he heads toward a group of Level I students sitting on the grass near the tree line. Within seconds, he is sitting on the dirt with them, laughing loudly and accepting a drink. This is one thing I truly cherish about Roman. He is entirely genuine to everyone around him,

completely ignoring the hierarchy of this academy.

“Come on, let’s sit,” Andrew says, pulling me forward toward an empty couch.

The exact moment I settle down, a weird sensation hits my entire body. The hairs on the back of my neck stand completely on end.

I feel a heavy, suffocating weight pressing down on me, as if something invisible is burning my skin.

I look up instinctively and my breath completely freezes in my throat. My eyes clash instantly with Kai.

He is sitting not too far from our group, lounging back on a black sofa. He’s surrounded by his inner circle, his sister Princess Kara

his beta, and right next to him, his chosen mate, Rina.

The look Kai gives me is completely terrifying. His dark eyes are locked onto mine, burning with a silent, intense fury that cuts

straight through the smoke and the hundreds of people dancing between us. Even though we are sitting on opposite sides of the

field, the sheer power of his aura makes me feel like he is standing right in front of me, crowding my space.

I hate it. I absolutely hate the way he can make me feel completely helpless with a single look, even after everything he has done to

break my heart. Why can’t I just act like he doesn’t exist? Why can’t I just look at Andrew and enjoy my night?

I forcefully try to tear my eyes away, focusing on the drink menu on the table, but his gaze is like an invisible chain holding my

head in place.

‘Don’t fucking look at me like that when you brought someone else here as your date, little flower.’ A deep, raspy voice echoes in my

head, making me freeze.

I stifle a sharp gasp of shock and press my hand to my chest. He is talking to me through the weird, unexplainable mindlink we

share. My skin instantly feels incredibly hot and clammy, and my throat goes bone-dry. Hearing his voice inside my head feels like a

physical caress against my skin, sending a shiver straight down my spine.

I stare at him across the fire, wondering in a panic if he can hear my own thoughts too if I project them hard enough.

‘I hate you.’ I think fiercely, throwing all my anger and pain into my mind,

Across the field, I watch as Kai chuckles. He shakes his head slightly, finally breaking the eye contact to look down at the ground.

He heard me. Good. He deserves to know exactly how much he has ruined me.

I force myself to turn away from him, plastering a fake, bright smile on my face as Andrew hands me a red plastic cup filled with a

sweet, fruity drink. Here you go, Lyra.”

“Thanks, Andrew,” I say, taking a quick, desperate sip to wet my dry throat.

And I love you…”

I freeze instantly. The plastic cup slips slightly in my grip..I whip my head straight back toward Kai’s direction, my eyes widen with a mixture of shock and disbelief. I’m certain that I must have heard him wrong. I must be losing my mind. He didn’t just say those

words… did he?

But as I look across the flames, the intense look in his dark eyes tells me everything I need to know. He’s staring right at me,

gaze completely unwavering. He just said it. For only me to hear.

Heavy tears instantly gather in my eyes, blurring my vision. He loves me. He actually just said he loves me.

Before I can even process the words, before I can even breathe, Rina reaches out and forcefully pulls his face away from my/ direction. She leans in closer, throwing her arms around his neck, and presses her lips firmly against his.

She kisses him straight. Everyone around cheers for them.

I hold my breath, waiting for him to push her away. I wait for him to look upset, to show me that those words he just said in my

But he doesn’t push her back.

He stays exactly where he is. He closes his eyes, leaning into her touch, and he kisses her back right in front of my face.

A red-hot, blinding fury ignites deep inside my chest, burning far hotter than the bonfire roaring in front of us.

I turn to Andrew with a sly smile.
