The Lycan Prince’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Lyra

I honestly can’t believe someone actually just stepped in to save me from that bully.

The group of four bullies freeze in shock, and so does everyone else in the hallway. I can feel everyone’s eyes on us, filled with a mix of curiosity and pure

confusion.

Who is he?

He’s clearly a student because I can see the academy’s badge, but he feels different. He has that heavy, powerful aura that’s way above normal wolves. The same kind of vibe Prince Kai has.

He’s definitely a Lycan. I can’t help but wonder why someone like him would even bother helping a wolfless omega like me. The bully is actually trembling

in his grip now, trying to pull his hand back, but the Lycan doesn’t move. He holds the guy’s wrist so tight that I’m sure he’s about to break his bone.

‘If you and your little group of hungry wolves ever try to attack innocent students again, I’ll do something so bad to you that you’ll wish you were never

born.”

The crowd gasps. The bully who was acting so tough a second ago, actually starts crying. I-I’m sorry! Please! We were just joking with them!” he blubbers.

The Lycan finally releases him and growls, “Get the hell out of here.”

The four of them don’t wait a second as they scramble away in shame. Once they’re gone, I turn to my savior and shyly whisper, “Thank you.”

He grins at me, his whole face lighting up. It’s nothing,” he says easily.

He’s really good-looking in a soft, approachable way, completely different from Kai’s intense, arresting features. He has a messy mop of blond curls and he’s tall and muscly, looking like he could handle anything.

He stretches his hand out to me. “I’m Roman. Roman Morningstar.”

I dazedly reach out and shake his hand. The moment our skin touches, Roman freezes. He stares down at our joined hands like something is wrong. is there blood on my hands or something?

‘Did you just feel that?” he asks, looking into my eyes.

I look at him, confused. “Feel what?”

He stares at me for a moment, searching my face, before he shakes it off and gives me a warm smile. “Never mind.”

1 withdraw my hand, but then his name finally clicks in my brain. My eyes go wide.

Wait… Roman Morningstar? Like the Morningstars? The royal Lycan family?”

Roman just smiles at me, looking pretty amused. I was wondering when you’d figure that out.”

Dammit. As if having the terrifying Lycan Prince breathe down my neck isn’t enough, I’ve somehow managed to pull another high-ranking predatve into my orbit. And a Morningstar, no less!

What is wrong with you. Lyre? I silently scream at myself

You’re supposed to be invisible!

I am so sorry! I didn’t-I mean…

face is red as I stutter, quickly howing my head until I’m looking at my shoes. I really didn’t realize who you were.”

Roman lets out a loud laugh, making me jump. Your fighness?” he repeats, sounding like I’ve just said the funniest joke of the year. “Whoa. hey, look at me. Stop being ridiculous. Seriously, look up.”

I slowly raise my head, feeling like an absolute idiot. He is still grinning, looking completely unbothered by ray lack of etiquette.

“Look, I may carry the name, but trust me, I’m not a royal,” he says, crossing his arms over his chest.

“But… you’re a Morningstar, that makes-

“It makes me the son of the King’s younger brother,” Roman cuts in casually. “In the grand scheme of things, it means I get a fancy last name and people like those idiots from earlier are scared of me. But a Prince? Nah. That’s Kai’s job. He gets the crown, the brooding stares, and the mountain of responsibilities. Me? I’m just the cousin who likes to skip boring meetings and actually enjoy life. To be honest, I don’t give a shit about half the stuff they

do at the palace anyway. I prefer it this way.”

He smiles freely at me, his eyes bright with a kind of mischief I’ve never seen on a Lycan before.

So he is Kai’s cousin? It’s hard to believe. While Kai feels like a dark storm cloud, Roman feels like actual sunlight.

How can he talk like that? He’s so friendly and carefree. It is a complete 180 from the cruel Prince.

‘Yet, you’re still thinking about that cruel Prince, aren’t you?’ Wyndra’s suddenly asks in my mind.
