Chapitre 39: Prince to rescue!

At the same time, Alice was walking on the path along with her horse. Her heart was throbbing against her chest at a rapid speed but biting her lower lip, she maintained the composure to go through the dark bushes and find the people they were looking forward to.

Coming towards the deeper part of the island, all she saw was the thick bushes and that of some leaves which had grown in the inferior part of the island. 'Strange…once the land outside was so bad and here…it seems so fertile..'

She was shocked but on the second note, her attention was fixed to find her aunt or uncle who must have come here for their personal reasons.

With a log of wood ignited in her hand, she and her horse made their way more inside.

"This place…is scary….." she mumbled in between her breath when the growls of animals were heard.

Her grip on her horse's rope tightened but that didn't hinder her confidence as well. She kept herself intact and soon after, what caught her sight was a cave-like structure that was a little bit far. It was made of rock.

'Probably this is the backside..' and knowing that it is in the heart of the island, Alice's pace increased with her horse.

But what made her feel dread and uneasiness was the sound of snakes and some animals…which were poisonous for sure.

Gulping the saliva present, she was really close to the cave-like structure when she stopped her horse.

Instead of going ahead on her horse, she stopped on the ground and was more interested in walking on her feet to not give her enemies any signs of her arrival.

Her lips formed into a thin line when she made sure to keep her steps with alertness. Yet, her luck wasn't at her side as well since she heard a growl that was very near her.

And probably…this growl was of a wolf…. Somewhere closer to her.

"Oh God…No…"

Alice immediately stopped at her place without moving even an inch. Her breath was stuck in her one breath where she knew that she can't even breathe even properly. It was as if she was killed right away.

Holding her breath, Alice didn't even take a minute sound but seemed like her wish wasn't filed anyways.

From afar, she could see a wolf standing with its eyes shining with anger. The white-furred animal was ready to devour her for his meal and that wasn't on her bucket list as well.

"No…brother." her voice for help didn't even come out where she felt that ended up running away.

Only if there was a weapon present with her but no, she had nothing with her.

Neither no equipment to fight with the wolf.

As her eye met with that of the wolf, the only thing that happened was her grip tightened around her log of wood of fire that she held. That was the only support of hers.

The panicking mode was already switched on when Alice took one step back, two-step and….the more step she took, she found herself even closer to the wolf since her wolf always took double the step she took back.

And the moment was here…. The time when the old wold rain in her direction, she knew she was finished on this island….she was going to be ending up the meal of this animal….

Subconsciously, her eyes closed in the anticipation of any pain she was going to feel just now. Her clutch tightened around her heart even the horse she had run away on its own leaving her all alone with its dense forest.

"Please god….send any angel to save me..…" muttering this in her mind, Alice heard the thunder of the wolf that was running in her direction..where she was just a few seconds away from her death.

"AGHH!!!!!!"

There was a sharp voice entering into her ears when automatically, her eyes flared to gaze at the wolf who lay on the ground. An arrow attacked him, and it seems like it made him sleep. "Wait…this…"

Subconsciously, her head rotated in the other direction to find none other but…the monster vampire on the back of his horse who just aimed the arrow at the Wolf.

"Y…You.." there was nothing she could do right at this point. No, there was literally nothing to express to him who had come from somewhere where she doesn't even know.

As her eyes already wind in horror, the Crowned Prince took the opportunity to come closer to her and come down from his horse.

With his hand still gripping his one arrow, he looked straight at the wolf who lay on the ground. "He will not wake up for some time…"

"I…I thought…you killed him…" she muttered but Cyrus's brown eyes met with hers to find her already feeling herself stress, "No. I didn't, this wasn't my task but to save you."

"Umm Save me?" Alice felt the mind of hers was at a shortage of functioning already.

It was as if, she would collapse on the floor itself any moment, Clothing her heart tightly, there were now words describe the amount of fear she felt right here

But to her dismay, Cyrus didn't leave herself alone in this state. With the visible anger present on his face that showcased his vampire side, even more, he took her wrist to pull her to one of the trees present.

"Hey, what are you doing?! Leave me!!?" she yelled when he held her shoulders against one of the tree's trunks with force.

Looking straight into her eyes, she felt her air already being stuck out of her mind when he asked her in the dangerous tone she has ever heard

"Tell me, what the hell are you even doing here, Princess Alice?!"
