Before I could say anything, I saw the Lycan King cross his arms on the table and lower his head slightly, looking at me with a predatory gaze. At that moment, an invisible pressure came from his body and quickly occupied the entire room.

“That’s not it. Let’s just…” I spoke with difficulty, trying to get the Lycan King to retract this pressure. I was already almost out of breath.

“Leave him, leave this place!” The Lycan King suddenly snarled at me.

Who should I leave? Michael? No, I couldn’t.

“No,” I said through gritted teeth.

The Lycan King glared at me coldly. He was trying to exert pressure on me to show his authority, and he was trying to make me yield.

I persevered with great difficulty, but at the same time, I felt a familiar feeling from this pressure. But how was that possible? This was my first time meeting the Lycan King!

Leave him, leave him, leave him…

For a moment, it was as if countless voices were saying the same thing. The King also turned into countless figures and surrounded me. My head was buzzing, and the voices were everywhere, asking me to leave.

…..

My head was getting lower and lower under pressure, and my breathing was getting increasingly heavy.

The Lycan King’s face contorted, but they didn’t stop. I wanted to shout and escape, but I couldn’t even move a finger.

‘Please help me, Michael. I’m going to die here.’

“Cecily! Wake up, wake up, what’s wrong?”

I suddenly opened my eyes and sat up straight, panting heavily.

Michael, who was beside me, also sat up with me. He gently pressed one hand on the mark on my neck to comfort me, and his eyes were full of worry. The moment I saw Michael, I felt a lot more at ease. I composed myself, held Michael’s body, and put my head on his chest to listen to his heartbeat.

Michael hugged me gently and patted my back.

“You had a nightmare? It’s fine. It’s all fine now.”

I looked up at Michael’s face. The boundless might of the Lycan King was still there, and only Michael’s embrace gave me a sense of security.

“I dreamed of your father,” I said softly.

“What?” Michael frowned slightly. “You’ve never even seen him. How did you dream of him? ”

“I don’t know.” I shook my head. “But I know it’s him. He has a big office, and he’s scary. At first, he told me about the she-wolves issue, but he suddenly became terrifying and…”

I recalled the scene in my dream and couldn’t help but shiver.

“And then what?” Michael asked.

Then… it’s nothing. I may be too worried. I’ve just arrived at the palace, and I need to familiarize myself with something. You told me you wanted to see them tomorrow, so I was too worried.” I didn’t want the unnecessary emotions in my dream to affect Michael again. It was just a dream and not real. There was no need to make Michael worry about me.

Michael sighed and said, “Cecily, you were trapped in the nightmare just now. After you woke up, you hugged me tightly. Now, you’re telling me that it’s nothing. Do you think I’ll believe you?”

Michael looked at me. “Tell me, what did you dream of my father doing to you in your dream? Did he want to drive you out of here or something else?”

I didn’t expect Michael to guess it at once. I guessed my uneasiness during the day was too obvious.

I hugged his neck and whispered, “It’s nothing. I just dreamed that he asked me to leave you. Then, suddenly, many of him appeared and surrounded me, shouting. I was scared and woke up. It was just a dream.”

Michael’s gaze was focused on me, with a bit of confusion, but more of it was gentleness and tolerance.

“You didn’t go out with Sasha for a walk during the day, did you?” A thoughtful look appeared in Michael’s eyes. “The palace is so big, yet you appeared there and coincidentally bumped into me. Did you two eavesdrop on my conversation with the Lycan King? You guys sure are fearless.”

I looked at Michael rolling his eyes, not knowing what to say.

After all, I didn’t say anything, but he seemed to have figured out everything. However, wouldn’t it seem like I betrayed Sasha if I were to tell him? Eavesdropping on that conversation was not allowed, right?

When I was still hesitating, Michael had already read my expression. He reached out and flicked my forehead. “You guys really went to eavesdrop. Don’t even think about it. With your little brain, before you can come up with any lame lies, the expression on your face has already betrayed you.”

“You were just trying to trick me!” Only then did I react and hit his chest.
