"Help, somebody.... please help me..."
Sebastian who was ready to pounce on the man on front of him, stopped and rolled his eyes.
His senses were stronger than anyone in the palace and he could hear things from a mile easily.
"What happened?"
His uncle questioned him as he was mentoring his fighting skills and Sebastian did not need to reply knowing his uncle have heard the voice.
The face of the older man turned pale as he knew what that could be. He turned and followed the voice while Yifang ran after his Uncle.
"What she had caused now? That princess is wanting to die in my hands."
He cursed in his heart following the voice but as he reached the garden, the scene in front of his eyes was enough to boil his blood with rage.
He saw Saya on the ground while a man slapped her. His wolf growled wanting to come out and talked over so he could shred the other man in pieces.
Sebastian let a growl and pounce on the man who was about to mark Saya. His canines were an inch away as Yifang attacked him and both rolled on the ground while Saya fell down.
Kyle took out his coat and wrapped it around the human princess who was trembling with fear. Saya looked up and after seeing Kyle she could not control her tears that rolled down her cheeks.
In the distance, Sebastian pinned the other man down ready to tear his throat when a cold voice stopped him.
"That's enough."
Sebastian paused and looked up where his mother was standing.
"Leave the alpha prince alone. He is a guest here and we do not hurt our guest."
Sebastian glanced at the man and punched him one last time as he freed him.
"Sebastian." His mother, the lycan queen, warned him.
"Did you see what he did?"
He wanted to tell his mother who raised her hand and stopped him.
"May be you should stop your wife walking around and seducing the other men."
The queen then turned towards the man who was getting up.
"Please follow me."
She asked dthe man who put a glance on everyone and followed the queen while Sebastian gritted his teeth in anger.
He then turned towards Saya who was crying silently in Kyle's arms and this filled him with anger.
"Why are you crying now? Can't you stay in the room? Or you wanted to let other men look at your beauty.
Princess, this is not your castle. These wolves will tear you in a second if they had a chance.
Fu*king idiot."
He shouted at her who stared at him in disbelief. She was a victim there and here he was putting all the blame on her.
Her eyes filled with salty water while Kyle glared at his nephew. He helped Saya to get up and took her to his chamber while Yifang rolled his eyes over his uncle's behavior.
"Now you are going to ignore me too. Wow." He followed his uncle who was trying to calm Saya.
After making her sit in a chair, he asked a servant for clean water and checked Saya for any injury. Thankfully, Sebastian was fast enough to save her before the alpha could pierce his teeth in her skin.
If he could have succeeded in marking her, it was going to create a lot of problems for Saya.
"Ouch..." Saya cried as Kyle cleaned her hand. When she was thrown on the ground, she fell on her hand. She did not feel any pain before but now she felt a sharp pain.
Kyle gently examined her hand.
"You tore a muscle. But do not worry it will be healed soon."
Saya sniffed making Kyle gently rub the back of her hand.
"I apologize for everything that happened with you today."
Sebastian who was leaning on the wall, laughed.
"Why are you sorry? It's all her fault.
Do you know what was going to happen if he marked you?"
Sebastian questioned her but Kyle shut him down. He wrapped her hand in bandage and gave her a medicine to drink to lessen the pain.
"What was going to happen if he marked me?" Saya finally asked the question as Kyle was done with everything. He looked up and was hesitant to reply her while Sebastian chuckled.
"Princess, you were going to be his bed toy forever but thankfully Yifang saved you in time."
Saya shivered as Yifang told her the truth. She did not know if this was true or not but she was scared.
She looked at Kyle as if asking him if Yifang was right while Kyle inhaled deeply.
It was time to tell her few things.
"Listen to me little princess.
The life here is very different.
If you are unmarked female, everyone will try to claim you and once someone claimed you, you will be fated to him forever.
Usually, lycans did not force themselves on females but the man you met today was a werewolf. Werewolves, never hesitate if they find a woman they like. They will use them and throw them out of their life."
"But... this is cruel and..." Saya shivered with fear. What was just going to happen earlier? Was she....?
She did not wanted to think about it.
"Don't you humans do the same. r**e woman and even kids. At least we don't harm kids." Sebastian walked towards her and stopped near her while Kyle glared at his nephew.
"Why you haven't marked her yet?"
He questioned Sebastian. Even if he did not want to mate with her, he should have at least marked her. She was living in hundreds of monsters who haven't found their mates yet.
"Why would I mark her?
Is not it better if she gets claimed by a lowly lycan?"
Sebastian chuckled as he put a glance on her who had tears in her eyes while her nose turned red due to all the crying.
He blinked slowly as he stared at her face which was making his heart ache. As Kyle left to bring something, Saya glanced at him who was looking away from her.
"Thank you for saving me, Prince Sebastian."
Sebastian was taken aback by her words. He felt strange yet something warm in his heart.
