“Oh, stop trying. You will never figure it out by yourself.” The blonde vampire clicked her tongue sympathetically. Then she lifted the thick cloak around her body, revealing a trembling, red-eyed Felix.
What the-?!
I looked at Felix in disbelief. I couldn’t help but recall the teenager’s words; he had told me not to believe a word Felix said.
“Why?” I asked, my voice wrought with disappointment and indignation.
Felix kept a straight face and didn’t say anything. His eyes, which were always bright and full of wit, looked unusually lackluster, as though they were clouded by a thin layer of mist.
“Why did you betray me?” I asked Felix again, this time, more forcefully.
“‘Betray’? We were never allies. We’re not the same, lady. How could I betray you?” Felix’s poker face suddenly broke into a smile, like a little devil who had successfully pranked someone. He didn’t show a single trace of remorse.
“You mean you’ve been acting from the very beginning? Including the time we discovered the hole in the wall?” I stared at him coldly, and the laughter of Alva replayed in my mind. I couldn’t believe that Felix would really be that evil.
“No. You can only blame yourself for meddling in others people’s business.” Felix’s expression changed dramatically. He clenched his fists and raised his voice indignantly. “It’s all your fault! The hole in the wall was found by Geoffrey and the vampires thanks to you! If I don’t team up with the vampires now, Alva and I will both be killed!”
I was stunned. I had no idea that the hole in the wall would be discovered.
“If only you didn’t come! Everything could’ve stayed the same! Because of you, Alva and I will never see each other again!” Felix’s voice was heavy with grief. I could tell that he was really sad.
“I… I’m sorry…” My voice was a bit shaky. I had really wanted to help them, but I didn’t expect that my kindness would result in this.
The blonde vampire elegantly walked up to me, her high heels clacking against the floor. She raised my chin with her index finger. “Such being the case, just surrender. Maybe we can spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll skin you and turn you into a lantern. What a waste of a beautiful face though.”
I swatted her hand away and snapped, “What makes you think you can catch me?”
The blonde vampire chuckled and put on a hat. “If I wasn’t confident, how could I join this game with you silly werewolves in the first place? What makes you think you can defeat all of us? You’re outnumbered, honey.”
I pursed my lips. She was right. I was outnumbered, and I knew that I couldn’t get out of this without help. The only solution was to stall as long as possible. Hopefully, Rufus would realize that something was off and would send someone to save me.
“She’s not alone.”
Suddenly, a pleasant, sing-song voice sounded from another direction. When I looked, I found that it was Layla.
What the heck was she doing here?
Sylvia’s POV
“Why are you here?” I looked at Layla in shock.
Ever since Flora said she was afraid of Layla, we had deliberately stopped talking to her.
After coming here, we avoided staying in the same dormitory with Layla, so she stayed with the other female soldiers in the army.
Layla was still charming. She walked up to me and pinched my butt. “I followed you here.”
I was a little surprised. ‘How did she manage to follow me all the way without being noticed?’
“Are you surprised, sweetie?” Layla chuckled and patted my cheek. “I love it when you look surprised and clueless. That is a million-dollar look, you know.”
“Don’t touch me,” I pushed her hand away and stepped back.
Layla didn’t care about my attitude. She patted my head and turned to face the blond female vampire. “Eww! So ugly!”
“What did you say?” The vampire didn’t expect that Layla would provoke her as soon as she arrived. “Come again.” She jerked up and pointed at herself, “Did you say I was ugly?”
Layla nodded, clicking her tongue. “You not only are ugly but also have a weird voice. It’s a pity that you have such beautiful hair. Why don’t I pull them from your scalp for you? I think bald head suits you better.”
The vampire flew into a fit of rage that she lost control of her special power. Just then, lots of golden lights appeared around her and flickered to life.
I quickly grabbed Layla’s clothes and whispered, “Hurry up and leave. I’m their target.”
“I know you don’t want to drag me down. But with my help, you’ll have a better chance to escape. After all, I’m not weak, am I?” Layla said softly.
I hesitated for a moment and glanced at the bunch of vampires in front of me. It was indeed not the right time to act tough.
“I owe you this favor.” I looked at Layla and finally agreed.
Layla burst out laughing and put her arm around my shoulder. “After all, we were roommates. Don’t regard me as an outsider.”
I wanted to say something more, but the vampires on the opposite side were already getting impatient.
“What are you two talking about? Gosh, you werewolves are annoying. If you don’t want to fight, just surrender,” said a resonant voice. It was Glendon, the red-haired duke I had met earlier. He picked up Felix with one hand and tucked him under his arm. “Let’s play a game and see who can catch this little guy.”
He grinned and threw Felix at me. Before I could react, the blonde vampire caught Felix and then threw him out.
Felix was terrified; his face turned pale with dread. The vampire tossed him around like a toy.
Felix was terrified; his face turned pale with dread. The vampire tossed him around like a toy.
Anger surged through my veins, and I quickly turned into my wolf form. Without thinking, I sprang forward, grabbed Felix, and landed safely on the ground.
Once sure the boy was fine, I sprinted toward the vampires and scratched Glendon’s handsome face.
“Ouch!” he screamed in pain. He deserved it for making trouble out of nothing.
Glendon covered the scratch on his face and glared at me. “What the hell are you guys doing? Attack her!” he bellowed his orders to the other vampires.
Layla closely followed me and kicked the vampire that had pounced on me.
She was strong even though she hadn’t turned into her wolf form. Even the vampires around were terrified to approach her.
Then I could feel a surge of power in my body, which felt familiar yet strange. The lycan power in me had awakened as soon as I turned into a wolf.
I couldn’t suppress the surging power in my body. I raised my head and let out a loud howl. The destructive power made the entire place shake violently, and the fierce gale made the vampires lose their balance.
