The Lycan Prince’s Wolfless Slave (Academy Romance) novel Chapter 79

#hapter 79

I stare at the waterfall, watching the water hit the rocks. It’s the only thing that’s given me any peace since that nightmare in the Principal’s office. Damon is sitting on a rock beside me, leaning back and smoking a thick roll of hemp-the kind only Lycans cao handle without losing their minds. I can still see the look on Richard’s face when my father ripped his heart out. I’m still shaking with rage just thinking about

And then, as if I hadn’t already hit rock bottom, I went and kissed her. I kissed a girl why is supposed to be nothing but a slave to me. What’s worse is that f haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I can still taste her, still feel the softness of her body.

I’ve stayed away from the main school buildings and even the apartment block I share with Kara because I know myself. If I see Lyra again, I won’t just kiss her. I’ll take her in every way a man can take a woman, and I can’t let that happen. Katarina is my future. She is the one who will be my Queen. I have to stay focused on the crown.

Vlad growls deep in my chest, a sound of pure, jagged anger. “But she is ours!”* he snarls.

I ignore him. He’ll learn to understand how the outside world works eventually.

“So, when are you going back to the Academy?” Damon asks, blowing out a cloud of thick smoke. “You can’t just disappear for days, Kal. The King is going

to notice you’re missing from your classes.”

“I don’t fucking care,” I snap, looking back at the water. I’m about to tell him to mind his own business when a voice suddenly cuts through my mind.

Kai… please….

My heart stops. It’s Lyra. Her voice sounds weak, fading, and almost lifeless. A rush of fear hits me so hard I can feel my pulse pounding in my ears. I have to force myself to stay calm so my heart doesn’t give out like it did the last time.

Damon stands up immediately, sensing the change in me. “What’s wrong? Kai?

“It’s Lyra,” I say, my voice trembling. “I just heard her in my head. I think she’s in danger.”

Damon looks at me with pure confusion on his face. “Wait, what? How can she reach you from this far away through a mind-link? Only fated mates should be able to do that across this distance….”

His voice trails off as his eyes widen. He stares at me like he’s seeing a ghost. “Rai… is she?”

“No!” I yell a little bit too fast. Damon reaches out and grabs my shoulder in a tight grip. “I need to know if it’s what I’m thinking, Kai. Because if she is your fated… that changes everything. The King, the betrothal, your entire future.”

I glare at him, my eyes flashing gold. I shove his hand off my shoulder. “I’m going to find her.”

I don’t wait for another word. I let Vlad take over. My bones snap and reform until I’m in my full Lycan beast form. I roar once and bolt through the woods surrounding the Academy, digging my claws into the dirt as I push myself to go faster. Damon shifts behind me and keeps right on my tail.

I pick up Lyra’s scent the second I get close to the training grounds. It’s mixed with the smell of blood and something bitter. I follow it straight to the restrooms. The door is locked from the inside, but I don’t bother with the handle. I throw my weight against it, and the wood breaks as I burst into the

room.

The sight inside makes my blood turn to ice. Lyra is slumped on the floor, her face bruised and her clothes torn. That bastard Salva is on top of her with his hands on her shorts, trying to pull it off.

zom with so much fany that the walls of the restroom shake. I launch myself forward, grabbing Salva by the back of his neck and throwing him across the mom. The hits the stone wall with a crack that tells me he broke a limb or two.

*rll fucking kill you for touching her my beast voice roars, the sound vibrating in my chest.

I’m on him in a second, my claws out and ready to rip his head clean off his shoulders. I want to see him bleed. I want to tear him apart. Just as I’m about to rip his head off, Damon appears beside me. He grabs my wrist, using all his strength to hold me back.

“Kai, stop!” he yells. “Don’t do it!”

“He needs to fucking die!”

“Not now! Lyra needs you. The poison will kill her soon if you don’t take her to the clinic immediately, Kai”

That makes me freeze. I release Salva as my beast slowly withdraws. I turn to Lyra. She’s motionless. Fuck fuck fuck.
