She really does not have a lot of self-awareness,’ I could not help but think as I stared at the small
figure beside me.
Lia intently looked at the direction where the car would be coming with a serious expression in her face.
Subconsciously, she already blocked the teasing of the warriors and focused herself on the mission.
She is not really aware that I am teasing her on purpose and making herself believe that I have no
interest in her.’ I thought to myself. She is really not aware that my eyes have not left her figure from
the moment we arrived here. Lia repeatedly blinked as she saw that car approaching from afar. In her
hands was my fruit juice that I have given her before. My eyes narrowed at the straw that she would
occasionally sip from every now and then. ‘Hmmm. An indirect kiss, huh?’ The corners of my lips
started tilting.
From the moment we arrived, I had already laid down my sense imprint in the area, so I was aware of
all the movement in our surroundings. At that moment, around fifty werewolves arrived at the forest and
quickly approached the lady’ car. Their movements were hidden by a spell.
The mirth in my eyes slowly faded as solemnity engulfed my whole body. An assassination attempt to
the life of the lady a matter that must be treated with absolute seriousness. ‘Strange, these auras…they
belonged to the Silver Wolves’ Pack?’ I could not help but furrow my brows.
The Silver Wolves Pack is a pack located near Northern Atlanta. Though they possessed some
abilities, they did not possess the power to successfully overpower Halen and the Lady. It only took a
couple of seconds before the members of the Silver Wolves arrived at the road and blocked the lady’s
car. I raised a finger to signal my warriors to halt any movement and observe the situation first.
“How disrespectful. Do the members of the Silver Wolves Pack not know the punishment for blocking
the way of the royal family?” Halen slowly alighted from the car and faced them. “We beg your pardon,
your highness. Indeed, we are aware of the gravity of our actions. But we have something to say to
you,” the leader of the Silver Wolves, who was seemingly their Alpha, stated. His voice was surprisingly
very respectful and apologetic. “Unfortunately, you do not get to say whether I hear you or not,” Halen
replied to him with a smile. “If you don’t move, I will treat this as an assassination attempt and punish
you on the spot,” he added. Suddenly, the Alpha of the Silver Wolves, along with all his members, knelt
on the floor and begged Halen for consideration. Desperation was very evident on their faces. Aside
from their suspicious number, there was no angle indicating that this was an assassination attempt.
This brought Halen in a difficult situation. As the prince of the werewolves, he could not arbitrarily kill
the werewolves who were kneeling in front of him, begging that they be heard for a second.
‘Something is wrong,’I heard a soft voice in my head. ‘Lewis, I feel that the man has something weird
on him. Please tell the prince to back away!’ Lia hurriedly told me. Before I could react to her message,
however, I heard the lady inside the car shouting, “Halen, get away from him!”
Unfortunately, the warning came out late and a green smoke already appeared in front of Halen. He
reacted fast and threw a punch, making the smoke dispersed. However, it seemed like some of it was
already inhaled by Halen, making his body visibly frozen.
“We are just asking for a moment! The royal family is heartless and did not care for the werewolves at
all! All of you just think of yourself!” The Alpha of the Silver Wolves shouted. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
At that moment, the entourage of the royal warriors already surrounded Halen with their protective
stance, ready to charge against the enemy. “No, get away from Halen!” Lady Regina hurriedly ordered,
startling everyone except the alpha of the Silver Wolves who started to maniacally laugh before saying,
“He said that this will bring the evil in you. The lord did not lie.”
On the other hand, Halen looked at the ground before suddenly crouching. He seemed to be suffering
pain as he attempted to control the raging energy inside of him. Unfortunately, just a couple of seconds
later, an inexplicably tyrannical aura started to appear. “So, this is what happened. No wonder… the
lady ended up dying…” I commented before lifting my hand towards Lia. Immediately, black aura
surrounded her, making her invisible and unapproachable. “The prince has lost control of his power. I
will head over there to help. All of you are to stay here to protect your Luna,” I issued an order before
meeting Lia’s eyes.
Halen’s uncontrolled power was enough to destroy the whole lower realm, so to protect Lia, I used my
power to seal her. Unfortunately, although the barrier was the strongest one in land, it effectively cut Lia
off from the outside world. It meant to protect her from anything. But at that moment, she could not see,
hear, or feel anything that was happening around her. Despite that, Lia’s eyes were devoid of fear. Our
mental connection was severed the moment I put the barrier up. But at that moment, the expression on
her face clearly showed confidence and trust towards me. “Ah,” I softly exclaimed, speechless. And for
a moment, I completely forgot about Halen who was on the verge of destroying everyone.
