“Fifty?!” Kellan couldn’t believe what he just heard. That was way too many of them than he previously thought. “Do you mean one five, right?”

“Five zero!” Ethan snapped. “Or at least, that’s how many of them that my warriors could count.”

“How they know? Are they here already? Inside the house?” Kellan looked around the house, as if he expected to see or heard fifty beasts ransacked the entire place.

“No, my warriors spotted them, they are ten minutes away from here. Three of their warriors just tried to barge in again, but my warriors had taken care of them” That must be the commotion that they heard earlier. Ethan shook his head. “There is no way we will be able to fight against fifty warriors!”

Kellan knew their predicament. He contemplated his next move. “It’s not safe to stay here. We need to leave.”

“You put the princess’s safety at risk.” Ethan pointed out the obvious and he was not even sorry to make the lycan felt bad about it.

This time, Kellan’s easy going look had disappeared and he contemplated his next move. “We are going to go separate ways,” he decided.

That was the same thing that Ethan wanted to suggest, but Kellan had voiced it out first.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“You better gathered all the thing that you needed. I am sure there must be a way to reach the nearby town. I will try my best to lure all of them to me.” Kellan had this serious expression on his face.

“Wait! You can’t go out like that, they are going to kill you.” Jasmine stopped them. She looked panic when she saw Ethan agreed with that plan and they were going to do exactly that. “You can’t do that. That’s a suicidal attempt. You could die!” She looked mortified. “You said it yourself that you couldn’t fight properly because you are still recovering, what chance do you stand against fifty warriors?”

“That will be his business, princess. We need to ensure your safety first,” Ethan said. He knew the princess wouldn’t agree with the plan, that was why he let Kellan who voiced it out.

“No.” Jasmine changed her tune immediately when she knew the situation was like this. “You are die. That’s a suicide attempt.”

Kellan gave her his signature smirk, as he pressed his lips to stop himself from smiling. “What? Is the princess worried about me?”

“I am not.” Jasmine immediately shook her head to deny the accusation. “It’s simply because it will weigh on my conscience if I let you die out there.”

Ethan urged them. “There is no time left for discussion We need to leave now.”

“No.” Jasmine came up with something. “Why don’t we all go to Great Darren city? We can find shelter there. You said it yourself that your warriors are there, right? We need to go there.”

“That’s two days away from here!” Ethan protested. The thing that he didn’t say out loud was; he didn’t think they would survive the night if they had to fight against fifty warriors, let alone a two days journey in

this situation.

The weather had become so cold and now the night was chilly. They would have a hard time to go that city.

“It will be safe for us to go to the town. We will find a way to reach there.” Their other six warriors wouldn’t be able to fight against fifty warriors, but they could be very sneaky and reached the town instead, after that, they could ask for help from the warriors that were stationed there.

“No. If we go to the town, Kellan needs to come with us too. It will be safe that way. He will still need to recuperate and from the town, he can continue his journey to Great Darren city.”

“You will put all the people in the town in danger, princess. We don’t know what those fifty warriors would do. You don’t want to see them ran rampant in the town in order to find him, right?”

Ethan knew what he said was rather harsh, because it would force Jasmine to back down, if she learned she would bring trouble to other people.

Right at that time, one of his warriors mindlinked him and informed that their enemy was only two minutes away.

“There is no time for this discussion!” Earlier he had mindlinked the other warriors to pack what they needed to go away from the house. “We need to leave now. They were two minutes away.”

Ethan then grabbed Jasmine’s hand and they rushed out of the room. The other warriors had been waiting for them and Ethan tossed a bag to Kellan.

“We can only help you until here.”

The bag that he tossed to Kellan filled with food that would enough for two days journey and that was the only thing Ethan could do to show his kindness to Kellan’s perilous situation.

“Thank you.” Kellan smiled and then when his eyes fell on Jasmine, his smile grew brighter. He caressed her head. “Don’t give me that look, it almost like you are thinking that I am going to die.”

Jasmine said nothing, but she swatted his hand from her head before Ethan could break his bone and his to survive the enemy would close to zero.

“We need to leave now,” Ethan urged them and then he took Jasmine’s hand to go out of the house from the front door. “Make sure they saw you, so they will not follow us.”

Kellan raised his hand to make an ‘ok’ sign. “Go now.”

Jasmine gave the last look on Kellan before she shifted into her beast, she heard from the mindlink of the warrior that scouted the area that the fifty warriors were there. Jasmine herself could smell their scent in

the cold air.

She hoped, Kellan would survive this. She couldn’t bear the thought that his chance was very slim.
