Claimed

Jasmine was afraid that something bad would happen to Kellan, but at first, she needed to worry about herself and the warrior with her, because right now, not like what they had planned, the fifty warriors had split into two parties.

While one party chased after Kellan, the other party was coming after Jasmine and her warriors.

There were only seven warriors, including Ethan right now and there was no way they could fight against more than two dozen hard battle warriors like them.

Therefore, their only chance to survive was to reach the town as quickly as possible.

Jasmine felt her lungs were going to burst because she was running very fast in her wolf form, but still, it was not enough.

She was the smallest, the more delicate beast among her seven warriors. She was not a fighter and more so, running in this weather was rather difficult.

But in the end, she couldn’t push herself and collapse. Because of that, Jasmine couldn’t preserver her beast form and was forced to shift into her human form.

Ethan and the other warriors immediately encircled her from their enemy.

“Are you, okay princess?” Ethan asked, he approached Jasmine in his human form, as he helped Jasmine to sit down and check on her. She was fine, but it was very obvious to see that she was not in the best condition. The harsh cold wind made it more difficult for Jasmine to move.

“I- I am fine…” Jasmine stuttered. She gulped down with difficulty, as she looked around her and then realized she had slowed them down, soon enough they would be surrounded by their enemies, if she didn’t immediately get up and compose herself.

However, the problem was; Jasmine didn’t have the energy to keep going.

“You need to go… I don’t think I can continue…” Jasmine said, panting heavily.

“Obviously not.” Ethan’s tone was sharp and determined and Jasmine had expected this would be the answer.

She knew Ethan and the other warriors wouldn’t leave her alone to save themselves, if anything, they would have sacrificed themselves for her safety. That was why she felt so bad when she became a burden for them.

If anything happened to them, their blood would be in her hand. She was so scared.

O as they continued to run away.

“Come on, princess. We will go out of the woods and reach the town. We will be alright.” Ethan helped Jasmine to stand up and then shift into their beasts

Jasmine had never run this long before, not to mention against the cold night wind. She was trying to keep up with the warriors, but it was obvious that they were slowing down to accommodate her.

In this rate, they wouldn’t be able to escape. Let alone escape, Jasmine would be the one, who dragged them down to their own death and she couldn’t imagine that.

[You need to leave… you need to go on… I can’t…]

She tried to mindlink them and in the end, she shifted back into her human form, because her body couldn’t preserve her beast form, due to the exhaustion. She shook her head.

“1- I can’t… I can’t go on. Please, please leave…”

Ethan immediately approached Jasmine and squatted down next to her, worried etched on his eyes when he saw her current condition.

“No, princess, we will not leave you.” He then ordered the other six warriors to keep an eye on their surroundings. Their enemy were close and there was only one way for them; fight back.

It was a vain hope for them to be able to fight two dozen warriors, but they had no other choice.

Jasmien felt so bad for her warriors, they wouldn’t be in this dire situation if it was not for her, if she didn’t insist to go to the lake house just because she couldn’t handle her heartbreak, they wouldn’t be in this dangerous situation.

she

She wanted to ask for their forgiveness, but she forced her mind to think of a solution. She bit her lip to fight back the coldness and then remembered something.

“No… there is a way.” Jasmine was trembling now. “There is a way for us to survive this…”

**n it!

Kellan was anxious, he could see that not all the warriors that came after him, chased him, which meant half of them were coming after Jasmine and the other.

He couldn’t let anything happen to Jasmine. Not only because she was not involved in this matter, but also because she was the princess of this kingdom, if anything happened to her, king Alexander wouldn’t let his kingdom off the h**k. The relationship between two kingdoms would be ruined and it would be the innocent lives that would be the sacrifice.

Kellan could only pray they wouldn’t mess with Jasmine, yet he couldn’t help, but worried for her wellbeing.

At this point, Kellan had fought five warriors and his energy depleted very fast. He needed to rest before he ran again, but he didn’t have the luxury.

At the same time, a beast jumped on his back and took him down to the ground, which made the lycan growled in anger. He tried to fight back this beast, but it was so hard, because the next second, there were three more that jumped into the fight,

In a blink of an eye, Kellan had to fight four warriors at the same time.

[How dare you! I am going to have your head on the spear!] Kellan roared to them through mindlink and he could feel how it still affected them, after all, his rank was way higher than them, but it was not enough, since they had shifted their loyalty to his brother.

[We are sorry that it came to this prince Kellan, but we have an order.]

[Let me go and I will spare you.]

[We can’t. This is direct order from the king.]

Kellan expected that much.

Kellan was bleeding profusely, as he shifted back into his human form, because he couldn’t preserve his beast one, since he was badly injured.

His old wound reopened again and there were additional wounds on top of that. His energy had depleted. Chapter 114

He couldn’t believe that he had to hide from these warriors. As much as his body was in pain, it hurt his ego.

“D***n it.” Kellan leaned his back against the tree and when he looked up, snow fell from the murky sky. It was the first snow. “Snow…” He muttered under his breath. He was feeling dizzy and he knew he would be unconscious soon, but he tried to keep it together.

He could die if he fell unconscious now. He needed to move. This coldness would kill him once he fell unconscious, there was a high chance that he wouldn’t be able to wake up again.

Breathing heavily, Kellan stood up and walked away gingerly, he sharpened his senses, just in case, he heard something in the distance. Just in case those warriors were close to him.

It would take longer than two days to reach his warriors in his condition, if he could reach them at all.

Kellan shook his head. He couldn’t go on in this condition. The safest plan for him was to go to the nearby town, which meant he would see that princess again.

But before that, he needed to shake off the warriors that came after him, let them thinking that he went toward different direction.

With that in mind, Kellan battled his sleepiness and his tired body.

Thankfully, he was bleeding profusely, which meant, it would be easy for him to lead them to wrong direction, but once he stopped bleeding, he would go toward the opposite route.

The snow would cover his trace and they wouldn’t know where exactly he had gone.

It sounded like an easy and simple plan, but in actuality, it was so hard, especially when your body refused to cooperate with

you.

At this point, Kellan only moved with a mere sheer willpower.

He wondered if Jasmine had managed to reach the town by now. He hoped she was fine be able to protect her.

and the warriors around her would

However, little did Kellan now, at the same time, Jasmine was hiding inside a c**k of a tree. She knew this cr**k because she used to play around this area when she was here with her family. She would hide here with her little brother.

The tree was so big, so the c**k within was enough to accommodate two grown up people.

Right now, she stayed there with Ethan, while the six warriors went ahead to the town to ask for help from the warriors there, since there was no way they could fight their enemies when they were greatly outnumbered like this.

“Are you, okay princess?” Ethan asked. He looked at Jasmine with worried. He was in high alert, as he assessed their surroundings, just in case they were being attacked or their enemies were too close and they couldn’t escape.

“I am fine,

you don’t need to worry,” Jasmine said. She felt better after she took a rest, but the coldness didn’t want to go away, especially when she saw the first snow. “No wonder it is very cold. It’s snow…” She looked up to the sky and

contemplated.

Meanwhile, Ethan had his eyes on the princess. She looked ethereal, so beautiful and delicate, but then he immediately averted his gaze, knowing how inappropriate that was. The tip of his ears turned red.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“We will be fine, princess. You will be fine. I will make sure of it.” Ethan was determined.

Jasmine smiled, she shifted her attention toward Ethan and flashed him a brilliant smile. “I know. You are here, there is nothing for me to worry about.”

Ethan blushed, he lowered his head. If he could, he wanted to stay in this situation for a little bit longer, but of course, it was only his wishful wish.

“The snow will cover our traces,” Ethan informed Jasmine to reassure her that they would be safe. “You need to take some rest. Sleep, princess. I will stay to watch our surroundings.”

“Let’s take turn.” Jasmine yawned, she pulled her legs and hugged herself, as she rested her head on her knees. She was tired and it was too cold for her, but Ethan was right, she needed to rest, just in case they had to run again. “Wake me up after three hours, okay? You can sleep and I will watch.”

Now Ethan had mentioned about sleeping, she couldn’t help it, but feeling sleepy.

On the other hand, Ethan smiled when he heard that and then nodded. “Alright.” But, he had no intention to wake her up, he would let her sleep as long as she needed. He would stay awake for her.

She would scold him for sure when she woke up, but Ethan would be fine with that, as long as he could keep her safe. That was his main duty after all.

A few minutes later, Jasmine was too tired, she fell asleep so quickly, her breathing was even and her hair fell to the side of her face, as she snored softly.

Ethan took the advantage to watch her sleeping face. It was not every day for him to be able to see her in such vulnerable state. She looked so beautiful and he had this urge to touch her, to brush away the hair from her face.

And somehow, his craziness won, he stretched out his hand and brushed away her hair lightly, so he could see her face without any obstacle. Her full lips were slightly ajar and her long lashes rested on her cheekbones.

How could someone be this beautiful?

Ethan wanted to caress her cheek, but he held back himself and retracted his hand. He chided himself for crossing the line.
