Chapter 37: Sneaking Out
I continued, “You said yourself that you would give a life of honor and do everything in your power to protect . Can’t you even do such a small thing? Or is the famous Lycan prince as free to break his promises as I am?”
“Very well,” Michael said with a smile. “I will give you all of the above, and you’d better keep your promise and stay here.”
For the next few days, I stayed at Michael’s packhouse. He always left in a hurry in the morning and returned in the evening. The butler would provide with three als a day on ti and tea in the afternoon. All my needs were taken care of. The butler would deliver anything to in half a day if I ntioned it.
It wasn’t a bad life if you ignored the fact that I was forced to stay by Michael.
On the afternoon of my last day being grounded, I was in my room watching a video of my professor’s lecture that Michael had sent to when Sasha barged in. I looked at her in surprise. I hadn’t seen her much this week, and I thought she had left.
Sasha sat down on the sofa beside and let out a long exhale.
Sasha said, “Excuse , do you have anything to drink? The weather outside is as hot as a stove.”
Generally speaking, werewolves were afraid of the cold and heat because of their thick fur. The habits of animals would affect us werewolves more or less. Therefore, the more powerful and populous pack was, they would choose to live in the north more often than not. The palace where the royal Lycan family lived was in the far north.
“Uh, there’s so fruit juice there.”
I pointed at the table. The butler had prepared it for in a carafe. It was filled with golden juice and a lot of ice cubes. The butler also filled a large glass container with ice cubes to keep the carafe at a cool and comfortable temperature at all tis.
This fruit juice was given to by the butler two days ago. I didn’t know what ingredients were in it. It might be a mixture of several kinds of fruits. But I thought it was delicious, so I asked the butler to keep providing with this drink for the past two days.
“Juice?” Sasha walked up and looked at with an incredulous expression. “Are you still a child? I’m looking forward to a beer.”
I replied, “I don’t like the taste of alcohol.”
“What?” Sasha said. “Then, you must have never tasted really good alcohol. I’ll take you out to try it next ti, but we don’t have to go into so much trouble for it. Michael must have a lot of alcohol sowhere here.”
I didn’t comnt. I still didn’t know when was the next ti Michael would let out.
I looked back at my computer screen. Sasha walked over, poured herself a glass of juice, took a sip, and said, “It does taste good, but alcohol tastes better.”
Sasha jumped onto my desk without care and bent down to look at my computer screen. Shaking her long, straight legs, she said, “You screwed the last ti. You should’ve at least inford before you ran away. Michael’s mad at . He’s been telling to run errands all week.”
“If I had inford you, would I still be able to go?” I defended myself.
“You’re right. I wouldn’t risk offending Michael by allowing you to go anyway,” Sasha muttered.
“But, for the sake of a week of hard work outside.” Sasha raised her gaze and looked at pitifully. “Shouldn’t you at least make it up to ?”
I looked suspiciously at Sasha. Why did she, a royal Lycan, want to make up to her? What could I do to make up to her?
“Go shopping with . I’ve been bored all week. I think you need to buy so new clothes.”
Sasha walked to my closet and flipped through my old tracksuits before saying, “You need to buy so skirts, high heels, and pretty jewelry. You’re Michael’s mate now anyway, and you can’t change that. Why not buy yourself so new clothes that match your identity better? You’ll be more beautiful.”
Sasha’s offer tempted , but I rembered that Michael had said I wasn’t allowed to go out. I looked at Sasha helplessly. “You know what’s happening. Michael... and I don’t want to drag you down with again.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve asked around. Michael won’t be back this afternoon. We’ll sneak out. He won’t find out.”
Sasha said indifferently, “And even if I listened to him before, he would still find opportunities to find trouble with . I’m not afraid of him now. He won’t be able to order around like last ti.”
I was encouraged by Sasha’s tone and said, “Alright, let’s go together.”
I changed my clothes and was about to go out with her when Sasha reached out and stopped . I looked at her in confusion.
Sasha said, “Wait! Before that, we have one more thing to do.”
