Claimed

Chapter 107.

Lycan was the strongest among the shifter, therefore they were feared the most. There were not so many lycan, but all the lycan would come from the royal bloodline.

Therefore, even though this man was injured pretty bad, he still managed to move so fast, to the point Ethan couldn’t avoid him when his hand stretched out and grabbed his neck.

His movement was very precise and lethal, but thankfully, he was not in his best condition, or else, sure enough Ethan would lose his neck before he could break free from his grip.

“What do you think you are doing?!” Jasmine immediately jumped in surprised when he tried to hurt Ethan. She growled at him viciously and pushed Ethan away, but the warrior placed her behind his back in order to protect her.

The lycan snarled, but he was too weak to shift into his beast. “Who are you?” his voice was dark and heavy, because of the pain.

Jasmine breathed heavily, she poked her head from behind Ethan’s back. “He is my personal warrior.”

“Personal warrior?” the lycan asked, narrowing his eyes at Ethan. “From what kingdom are you?” Only people from the royal family and someone important who had personal warrior with them.

Therefore, the fact that Jasmine had one, it meant she was part of the royalty.

“She is princess Jasmine, the first daughter of king Alexander,” Ethan replied, his voice was tight and his eyes still looked at him with worried.

The lycan narrowed his eyes and Jasmine decided that earlier was only a misunderstanding. She patted Ethan’s arm, telling him to relax.

“You don’t need to worry, you are safe here.” Jasmine was about to approach him, but Ethan held her hand to stop her from doing so. He didn’t believe this man at all.

However, Jasmine reassured him.

“I don’t know what happened with you and what you have gone through, but you are safe here. You don’t need to worry. Ethan has sent one of the warriors to look for a healer. He will

return soon.”

“I told you not to tell anyone,” he groaned, but Jasmine ignored him.

“What is your name?” Jasmine took a step closer toward him, despite Ethan’s protest that she shouldn’t be within this lycan’s arm reach.

For a moment, Jasmine thought he wouldn’t answer her question, he had his eyes closed, thus she thought he had fallen asleep, but when she was about to turn around and then left. he finally told her his name.

“Killian,” he said, but there was no other explanation aside from that.

“Are you from the royal family?” Ethan asked, but this time, Killian didn’t answer the question and continue to sleep, or probably he had passed out again.

“Let him to get some rest, tonight must be too much for him.”

“Princess, you are too kind, you shouldn’t have let a stranger to enter the house. He could do something horrible to you.”

Jasmine didn’t agree with him, she turned around and then looked at Ethan. “I didn’t let a stranger enter the house, Ethan. Shouldn’t you and the other warriors secure the area around the house? How could you let a stranger get close to the lake house and enter?”

Hearing that, Ethan lowered his head, he was a little bit ashamed to admit his error, but he apologized for his incompetence.

Jasmine took a deep breath and patted his arm, she was smiling beautifully like usual. “You don’t need to feel bad. I am fine. Everyone makes a mistake, but please don’t be too harsh. That man is badly injured, he will not harm us.” She then walked past him. “We will ask him again tomorrow, for now, you can stay inside the house.”

However, before she could walk out of the room, she turned around and then added.

“Don’t do anything to him. I am sure he is a lycan and it will cause trouble if you harm royal family from the other kingdom.” It could cause a war, especially if this man was died under their care. “Do you know royal family named Killian?”

Ethan paused, he thought about that for a while. “Killian is a common name. I know three princes with the name Killian, but I am not sure.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Okay.” Jasmine nodded. “I will be in my bedroom, if you need anything, you can knock on my door.”

Hearing that, Ethan blushed. It felt weird to hear the princess let a warrior like him to knock on her door, but Jasmine didn’t notice that, she then left the room and returned to her

bedroom.

She continued to read a few pages of her book before she felt sleepy and finally fell asleep. She still remembered that lycan’s sharp eyes.

The next day, the warrior that had been sent to look for a healer had not yet return, which was very unusual. This was not the first time for them to be in this area, thus they must have

known a short way to get to the town and then look for a healer, but to the fact that warrior had not yet returned, it could mean there was something not right.

He should have returned hours ago.

“Send two more warriors to go to the town and look for him on your way there,” Ethan said sternly to his two warriors.

“What happened here?” Jasmine asked, she just woke up and was in her night dress, but she covered it with her comfortable cloak.

“Good morning, princess.” Ethan bowed his head politely. He avoided to see her in the eyes, especially right now when she looked so beautiful with her messy hair.

“Good morning, Ethan,” she said with rather hoarse voice and then yawned. “How is it? The warrior has not yet returned with a healer?”

“I have sent two more warriors to check on the matter.”

Jasmine narrowed her eyes. “Don’t you think it’s weird?”
