“What is it?” Kellan could see the horror in Jasmine’s eyes, but he didn’t know what actually happened, since he couldn’t hear the mindlink between Jasmine and Ethan.

“We need to run!” Jasmine said, she grabbed Kellan’s hand and then took him to the opposite direction before she shifted into her beast and then runaway.

Kellan followed behind her. He was not fully recovered, after such brutal fight yesterday and it was hard for the two of them to communicate, since they didn’t share mindlink, therefore he could only follow her without knowing why they were running away.

And what about Ethan?

Jasmine headed toward that tree again, the same tree where she was hiding with Ethan last night. He told her to wait there.

It took them a few hours for them to reach this place and once they were there, only then the two of them stopped. The sky had turned bright and the ray of sunlight pierced through the leaves above them.

Almost immediately, as soon as they stopped, the two of them shifted into their human form, because they could no longer maintain their beast form.

They were panting heavily, too tired to even speak, as they laid down on the cold ground covered by the snow.

“Wh- what happened?” Kellan finally asked, after he managed to control his breathing.

“The enemy… the warriors were there, they killed all the people in the town,” Jasmine replied bitterly, she felt so angry because she couldn’t do anything, but even if she stayed, she couldn’t help. More so, they would take advantage of her and make her as a leverage for her father the moment they knew she was the princess of this kingdom.

She didn’t want to put that burden to her king father.

“Ethan…” Jasmine whispered, she looked around her. Her eyes focused at the direction where they came from earlier, as if

“What happened with him?” Kellan approached Jasmine and then gave her the bottle of water that he had with him.

Jasmine was thankful and drank half of it, she gave it back to Kellan, who took a sip.

“I don’t know. I am not sure. He told me to run away after he explained what happened.” She bit her lip nervously. “He will be alright, right? He told me that he will meet me here.” Jasmine pulled her hair anxiously. She prayed that Ethan would manage to run away.

“Let’s wait,” Kellan said.

And the two of them wait until the sun set, but there was no sign of him.

“I should have waited for him…” Jasmine said, her voice dripped with guilt, she hugged her legs and rocked herself back and forth, as she stared at the distance, she hoped she could see Ethan walked toward her and smiled like usual.

“You are going to die too if you waited for him,” Kellan said, he ruffled his hair and then stood up. “I will hunt. We need to eat something.”

“No!” Jasmine held his hand when he was about to walk out of the c**k on the tree. “Don’t go.” She looked worried. “I don’t want to be left alone.”

What if he didn’t come back? What if they captured him and she didn’t know? What if those warriors reached this place and they were separated?

Jasmine didn’t want to be left alone.

Kellan stopped, he stared at her hand that held his, seemingly Jasmine didn’t realize it yet. He could understand why she didn’t want to be left alone. Da**n. He could see the fear in her eyes.

“Can you hunt?” Kellan finally asked.

Jasmine blinked her eyes innocently and then shook her head.

“Hh…” Kellan sighed deeply. “Fine, you can come with me, but don’t make a noise.”

However, hunting with a princess, who had never done it was not an easy task to do and Kellan was close to lose his patience.

After an hour with Jasmine, he finally shifted into his human form and put his arm

on his hip, his eyes filled with annoyance, as he stared down at Jasmine’s beast.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Slowly, Jasmine shifted back into her human form too and looked at him sheepishly.

“At this point, we will not eat anything,” Kellan said, he was frustrated. “We are going to starve and die because of it, before those warriors could find us.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. You will not die just because you **ed dinner.”

“For your information, I have not eaten anything since yesterday.”

“You will not die just because you didn’t eat for two days.”

Kellan was speechless, he bared his teeth at Jasmine and the princess lowered her head, she knew that she was not in the position to argue with him and he was right, they needed to eat, but her conscience couldn’t allow her.

“This is not like this is the first time you eat meat!” Kellan chided.

I eat meat, but I have never seen the animal was being killed!” Jasmine retorted. She was afraid when she saw Kellan almost got a fluffy rabbit. She could see the killing intent in the lycan’s eyes and suddenly it clicked in her mind what was going to happen and before she could prevent it, she had caused a ruckus and made the rabbit ran away.

And that was not even the first time, she did it again a few times until Kellan lost his patience.

“If you don’t want to eat, fine! But, I am hungry, okay. I want to eat,” Kellan grumbled, he rubbed his face roughly when he saw the look in Jasmine’s eyes. “Hh! Look, both of us need to eat, we need all the energy that we can get. We can’t run if our stomach empty, so just stay here and I will return in fifteen minutes. I will be nearby. Close your eyes and don’t make any noise, understood?”

Jasmine nodded obediently, so did her stomach that made grumbling noise. She was hungry too.

Kellan heard that and laughed.
