Nicole’s voice broke the silence. Callum frowned and narrowed his eyes at our father. “So, are you questioning my choice?” He said in a measured yet menacing tone.
Our father was stung by his look. When he came to his senses, he slapped Nicole. Nicole turned her head away from the beating, her fine hair falling down, looking extremely disheveled.
She looked at her father in disbelief. I couldn’t believe my eyes either. I can’t believe our father would do this to Nicole, who he loved so much. He steadied his voice and explained to Callum, “I didn’t mean to hide her from you, Your Highness. Nicole is my daughter. She’s my daughter, too. But she is flawed, not quite like us. Of course, if you want to change your mind, we can talk about it.”
“No discussion,” Callum replied deadpan.
“I have found the one I want. Our deal is done.”
Callum bent and held me with his arms, and I covered my mouth so I wouldn’t scream.
What’s this about? What kind of deal?
Behind him, all the Lycans stood up and followed their prince out of the hall. In the moonlight, their black clothes were like the capes of the demons in fairy tales.
Alan’s POV
“Alan, come on, what are you doing there?” Bud said to me. We were the officers of the team that went to the Red Moon Pack. We all know the purpose of our trip. We’re gonna take a she-wolf out of that pack. Our Prince had never met her, but he suddenly decided he wanted her.
This is the night before we enter the Red Moon Pack. We, as the Prince’s generals, were supposed to guard him, but the prince said he wanted to be alone tonight. Bud and I went for a moonlit walk through the woods, a favorite activity of all werewolves.
“Do you think the Prince is in love? He’s never found mate, but he came to the pack all of a sudden just to take a woman away.” Bud bumped my shoulder and winked.
“I don’t know what happened. But since it was the prince’s decision, we have to follow it. He must have a reason for what he did.” I sighed helplessly. Speculation has been swirling around the royal family for a long time, since the prince asked the alpha of the Red Moon Pack for his daughter. Prince Callum is the most famous Lycan in the werewolf world, and his love and marriage are not only his personal affairs, but related to the balance of power between packs and royals.
“Alan, you’re so boring. You must know something,” muttered Bud, “You were the only one who went with the prince to the Alpha Conference last month. When he returned, he announced that he would take the Alpha’s daughter into the palace. The royal gift for the Red Moon Pack was also prepared by you. You definitely have some inside information. Is she the Prince’s mate?”
“Instead of gossiping, you should think about how to make sure the prince’s trip goes smoothly.”
Bud was silent. I know what he’s worried about. As the Prince’s guards, we all feel the Prince’s rampage. He was losing control of himself; in other words, his madness was getting worse.
“Is the prince… The curse working again?” Bud asked hesitantly.
I nodded silently at his inquisitive eyes.
Bud took a deep breath and murmured, “How did it happen so fast? He hasn’t even found his mate yet.”
“Finding a mate is not always a good thing,” I recalled. “Once the curse begins, the rage will grow, and the prince will become bloodthirsty and kill his mate in the rage.”
It is well known that the Lycan is one of the most respected and strongest of the werewolves, especially the royal family, which rules all werewolves and enjoys supreme power and wealth. What is not clear, however, is just how painful the price has been.
The first king went berserk and killed his mate. His mate’s blood bathed his pupils. When he came to his senses, he lay by the body of the Queen and cried for three days and nights before dying of exhaustion.
From then on, every king and his heir would bear the curse. They will remain strong and lonely until they are consumed by rage. Even if they find their mate, they will still be alone. That is their fate.
So the royal family has a secret tradition. When the king’s curse strikes, he will go into the primordial forest and die alone, leaving the Queen and Prince to pass on the crown.
Callum’s curse came too soon, and it made us desperate. He hasn’t found his mate yet, and he doesn’t even have an heir. But the witch said maybe it was a good thing. The moon goddess may be giving his a chance. His curse was different from the one before. Change means opportunity.
Maybe, with a deep sigh, I pushed the sad-looking Bud away. “Come on, let’s stop thinking about it. We’re going to the Red Moon Pack tomorrow, so get an early night.”
“You’re right. Maybe the girl will make the prince feel better.”
……
The moonlight fell through the gaps in the leaves of the forest, and a dozen vigorous black shadows ran quickly through the forest.
The trees of the forest crisscrossed their branches and the leaves of the bushes brushed past us. We like to shift into wolves and run in the deep woods in the moonlight. We can completely release our nature.
It is our prince who is leading the way and running in the front. He was larger than all of us, and his hair was thicker and darker. The moon is in the middle of the sky right now, and that’s when we werewolves are at our most powerful.
I already have a faint whiff of another pack, which means that as soon as we get through this forest, we’re officially in the territory of the Red Moon Pack.
By werewolf rules, if we step into a pack territory in wolf form, it usually means a declaration of war. We didn’t care, but we had to be polite this time, because we were here to meet the girl our Prince wanted. The Red Moon Pack is not strong. Our visit will do them no harm but good. After cooperating with us, they will be under the care of our royal family.
They should treat us with the utmost courtesy, I think.
Suddenly, the prince stopped, and we immediately followed.
“What’s the matter, Your Highness?” I whispered to Callum. “Is something wrong?”
But Callum didn’t answer. He shook his head, sniffed the ground, and became visibly cranky. His hair stood on end, his eyes gleamed with cold, as if he had lost something important.
Bud and I looked at each other and started sniffing the ground, but we couldn’t find anything. The prince’s sense of smell was way ahead of ours. Maybe he found something.
The next moment, the prince seemed to be enraged. His eyes locked in a certain direction, and his wolf overflowed with killing intent. Suddenly, he let out a long and intimidating howl at the moon.
“Woooooooo~”
The power of Callum’s voice shook the trees around us for a moment, and we were struck by the Prince’s angry howling, both of us crouching low and softly giving a submissive howl.
When we looked up again, the prince was gone.
……
When we followed the prince’s scent to find him, he was standing in front of a nearly naked girl. He wrapped his body tightly around her, and covered the girl’s body from beginning to end with a wolf’s tail, as if guarding his hard-won treasure.
Sensing our gaze, Callum’s wolf bared his teeth at us and we backed away slowly.
His watchful eyes gave me the creeps. A thought crossed my mind. Is that the curse… ?
Bud and I looked at each other, and we agreed on what to do next.
We took out a linen handkerchief and put it in front of Callum. This is an item that Callum got out of nowhere. It looks like something a girl might have used, unremarkable, but it can bring temporary stability to the raging Callum.
Sure enough, Callum sniffed and became less hostile to our approach.
As he relaxes, Bud shoots an arrow from his hand, the tip of which contains the sedative he got from the witch. The arrow went right into his neck, and he reached out angrily, making deep claw marks on the ground, and then slipped into a coma.
“I’m glad I brought this for you,” said Bud, sitting on the edge of the lake in his human form. “I’m really under a lot of pressure to do this to the prince,” he complained, touching the sweat on his head.
“On the bright side, your arrow skills are improving again.” I smiled helplessly.
“What about the girl? She seemed important to the prince. Do we need to keep her?” Said another guard, looking at the girl who had fainted.
“She must be from the Red Moon Pack. I don’t know why she’s here, but let’s put her back in her house. We kept it a secret about the prince getting mad again. The fewer people know it, the better. I hope the poor girl will sleep it off. Thanks to the moon goddess, the prince didn’t eat her,” I said, frowning at the speaker.
“Whatever you say,” Bud ends the conversation quickly, and he personally puts the girl back in the room where she belongs, based on her scent.
For some reason, I don’t know who this girl is, but I have a feeling she’s special to Callum, and we’ll see each other again.
Jane’s POV
There is no moon tonight. The rain is like a haze over the earth.
