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.

“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 again, as they continued to run away.

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.

“I-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 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…”

D**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.
