Capítulo 14: Chapter 14

Princess Liviana's POV

"What happened? I cautiously walked on the side of his bed. I feel my hands are trembling. "Who did this to him?" I asked Connor as I examined Philip's condition. He has deep wounds, mostly on his upper body, and his neck got a severe injury. He's unconscious since yesterday, according to Connor.

"A huge wolf attacked him last night. We needed few soldiers to restrain it." Connor explained. "He's safe now; he's healing quickly. He'll recover in few days." He added.

"Why there are so many wolves in this kingdom? Of all people, why him? He's your kingdom's guest." I said as I pity his situation right now.

"We will ask for forgiveness once he woke up. Right now, what we can do is to treat his wounds and make him well." He explained. "Don't you think you're not supposed to be here?" I looked at him reluctantly. "I told you my brother has a strong possessive side."

I shook my head. "I don't understand him. Why is he acting that way? He doesn't seem to care about me since we've met."

"There are things that are better unsaid. Men are usually complicated but handsome." He said, smirking as I shook my head. "Don't you think it's time to know him?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"My brother is a serious type of a man, since he was young he was trained to be the next King. He's always responsible for all the things he does. Instead of playing around like a usual kid, he attended meetings and sent to every kingdom to represent ours. In short, he's really boring." He said as he chuckles.

"Well, I guess he'll be a good King." I commented.

"What I want to say is, you should try to understand him. He will not make a move or act because he's bored. He does what he does because of a strong desire to do it. He has enough reason to do it." He explained.

"And what is that?" I asked.

"To protect what's his. He has a strong desire not to let anyone get what's in his possession like you." He said, grinning.

"Me?" I said in surprise.

"Yes, my dear sister-in-law. He's possessive because he feels threatened by Prince Philip. He thinks that he will get you from him." He shook his head. "Ladies are so naïve. I hope my mate is as beautiful as you, but not as dumb as you." He said and sighed.

"Jerk." I hissed as he laughed. "I already told him that I ended my relationship with Philip five years ago, and I'm married to him now. Don't you think there's enough reason not to be worried about?" I asked him.

"Marriage is something that wrote on paper, my dear sister. Your commitment and your strong feelings towards him are the best security in your marriage." He explained.

I make face. "Seriously Connor, why do know a lot about relationship and marriage? Have you been through this kind of stuff?" I mocked him then he laughed.

"I haven't, but I know those kinds of stuff because I'm a genius and a handsome man." He said. I faked a laugh and rolled my eyes at him. He's always full of himself. Geez.

"I guess we still have a long way to go." I said. "Where is he, by the way?" I asked.

"He's running." He said. My one eyebrow rose upward.

"What?" It's the middle of the day. An exercise should be in the morning. Am I wrong?

"I mean, he's running errands for the King." He explained.

After few moments, the door hanged open to show Colten. He's grinning from ear to ear. "Let's catch fish!" He shouted. Connor and I looked at each other in surprise.

Colten pulled me until we're outside of the castle as Connor followed us. He told us that we're going to the river in the deep woods. We ride on horses then we're off to the river. He's been so enthusiastic while we're on the road. He told us that we will take a bath in the river while catching fish. I didn't know what has gotten into him, but I ride along since he's happy.

Prince Conrad's POV

I was in the woods, roaming around into wolf form when I heard human voices. I sniffed, and I smelled my mate's scents. I followed where it's coming, and leads me to the river. I smelled Connor and Colten's scents too.

I hid on the back of a big tree meters away from them. Connor turned his head in a different direction; I think he smelled me and trying to look for me. I talked to him through the mind link and told him where I was hiding. He just looked at me and nodded.

Connor is trying to catch fish while Colten and my Princess are playing. My ears and my tail wiggled as we hear our mate's laughter. My wolf is happy to see her happy. I mentally smiled.

Suddenly, we hear footsteps coming in our way. I sniffed and confirmed that they're not human but werewolves. I saw them running fast meters away from the river. I immediately showed myself and ran into the river and faced them.

I growled at them that made them stop. There are three rogue werewolves in front of me. "Colten! Connor!" I heard my Princess shouted my brothers' names. Colten and Connor immediately run towards her and put her behind them to protect her. I focused my attention on the rogue werewolves, they're growling at me. They surrounded us as I tried to scare them by growling louder at them but to no avail.

One of them struck, but I got the advantage in the size, so I simply pinned him on the ground and bit his neck. He cried in pain. The remaining two attacked me simultaneously. I shoved the one away using my paws while I pinned the other way on the ground using my other foot. Connor helped me, he used a plank of wood to kill the one on my right while I bit the remaining one until he lost his breath.

I looked at my Princess, who looks scared and worried at the same time. Colten is now hugging him on her waist. I growled at him, but he just chuckled. I heard Connor cracked up as well. Her reaction has changed into confusion. "Are you alright?" I was surprised she talked to me. I was stunned by where I was standing. "Can he understand me?" He asked Connor. He smiled and nodded. She looked at me again. "Thank you for saving us. It's the second time you saved me, right?" She remembered what my wolf looked like. My tails wiggled in happiness as I nodded.

"It understands me! He wiggled and nodded!" She shouted.

"You can touch him." Connor said. My Princess did not hesitate, she stepped near me, and she gently caresses my fur. My wolf's ears and tail wiggled more. Her touch gives a tingle to every part of our body. We're both floating in happiness. "He likes you." Connor said.

"This wolf reminds me of your brother." She said while smiling as she caresses me.

"Does he look like a wolf now?" Connor asked as he laughed nervously.

"It's because of their eyes. Your brother and this wolf's eyes are both brown, and it's glowing whenever I looked at them." She explained.

"A-ha-ha-ha! It's just a coincidence." Connor said.

"It's beautiful." She remarked.

After a while, they decided to go home. Before they left, Princess Liviana hugged me. We almost got insane by her act of affection towards us. I followed them until they reached the castle to make sure they will return safely.

For sure, my wolf will bother me to visit her in a wolf form just to cuddle with her. I hope she doesn't mind.
