Chapter 117

Ethan fell asleep, but he didn’t completely put his guard down, his conscience wouldn’t allow that. He was still on alert to the point he would wake up with the slightest sound.

Meanwhile, Jasmine was too tired, she had been running around to help the town people to the best she could and now, she fell into a deep slumber, despite their surroundings.

However, it was better than sleeping while sitting like the other night.

Close to midnight, Ethan was woken up for the fourth time when he heard soft footsteps against the ground. His mind was on alert, as he opened his eyes, but he didn’t make a sudden move.

He waited for this person to come closer before he attacked him

There was only one person, a man, he was sure about that, his scent was too masculine for this person to be a woman, more so the way he walked…

He was getting closer…

He was so close…

And when Ethan felt that person was leaning over him, he moved so fast, his claws slashed that person face. He managed to dodge the attack!

This person had a good reflex, or else, he would have had his throat was being slashed instead.

But, Ethan was not done, he needed to attack before this person could recover, but when he saw his face, his anger and wariness turned into annoyance.

“What the hell you are doing here?!” Ethan hissed viciously when he saw it was actually Kellan. That lycan cradled his bleeding cheek and glared at him.

“Can’t you stop attacking me!?” He growled in annoyance and this commotion woke Jasmine up, which infuriated Ethan

even more.

“What happened?” Jasmine asked, she pushed herself into sitting position immediately, as she looked around her, thinking that they were in some sort of danger.

“There is nothing princess, only a little bit of disturbance,” Ethan replied, he was unhappy to see Kellan was here and the last thing he wanted was for the princess to see this man.

Unfortunately, there was no way Jasmine didn’t see Kellan now she was awake. Her eyes widened in surprised when she saw

him.

“What are you doing here?” She asked incredulously. “I though you were heading to Great Darren city?”

Kellan huffed, he then sat down on the ground, the wound had healed, but the blood on his cheek smeared on his hand and his clothes. Jasmine noticed that.

“What happened with your cheek? Are you hurt?”

Kellan glanced at Ethan, who looked aloof with what he had done to him. “I am fine,” Kellan finally murmured. He wiped the blood with his sleeve. “Only a little bit scuffle.”

Chapter 117

Ethan rolled his eyes and didn’t say anything, he sat down next to Jasmine and observe his surroundings. “What are you doing here?”

Kellan then explained why he decided to go to the town. “I thought I will ask for help to reach Great Darren, but when I arrived, I realized this town had been attacked.”

“Why don’t you leave immediately once you realized it had been attacked?” Ethan crossed his arms. “You could be followed and you will put the other people here, in danger.”

Jasmine nudged Ethan’s arm, signaling for him that he was a little bit harsh with his word, but the warrior didn’t heed that.

“Do you think they will be so generous to follow me here? If they found me, they would have killed me right away, there is no need to follow me to the town that they had destroyed.”

“So, you agreed that the attacker of this town was the warriors from your kingdom?” Ethan drew conclusion.

Kellan didn’t want to admit that, but he didn’t have other choice. “Yes, I am sure they were the one, who had done this.” He gritted his teeth, he felt so bad for those, who had died.

However, they didn’t have time to continue with their lungs and this put them on alert.

conversation when they heard someone screamed on the top of their

“I will go and check,” Ethan said, but before that, he looked at Kellan and groaned. “Stay here and protect her! If something happened to her, I will not hesitant to kill you instead!”

Ethan then shifted into his beast before he could hear Kellan’s reply.

“Why he is so feisty?” Kellan scrunched his nose. Ethan didn’t need to threaten him, because he knew that keeping Jasmine safe was priority.

“Should we check too?” Jasmine asked, she stood up and peeked to the empty street, but from the distance, she could hear the sound of people screaming became clearer. Not only one, but three and then more people screamed in pain. “What is going on?”

Jasmine tried to mindlink Ethan, but the warrior had not yet reached the spot.

“Do you know what happened to the next town?” Kellan asked Jasmine to distract her. “Can we go to the next town and ask for help?”

“I don’t know. I am not sure.” Jasmine then told him what she knew. “Based on what the town people told us, the attackers went away after they managed to kill all the warriors here, or the people that they thought could be a potential danger or fight them back, leaving only the elderly and the children.”

She then told him about Ethan’s assumption that the information about what happened here, had reached the palace and the king must have known about this.

“So your choice are; staying put here until the reinforcement from the palace came or move toward the capital city through the mountain.” Kellan concluded.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

The mountain route was very dangerous, because there was a high chance they would be attacked by monster, but they couldn’t rule out the possibility that they would be attacked by the enemies.

“We still have not decided yet about what we should do,” Jasmine replied truthfully, but suddenly, Ethan mindlinked her and this put her on alert.
