My Lycan Prince's Redemption

During a festive gathering, Claire's amusing joke caught everyone's attention. However, the unexpected turn of events left her stunned. Her fiancé, the man she believed to be her destined partner, knelt before her stepsister, presenting a ring and declaring, "Joe and I have found our fated mates." Claire's father, emotionless, added, "Though it hurts, Cathy is your sister. Support their union; she'll become the new Luna, not you." In an instant, Claire's joy vanished, replaced by a sense of betrayal and abandonment. Fueled by anger, she addressed Prince Louis, who was also present, despite the potential consequences, "Your Highness, please intervene and strip them of their rights. I demand my rightful place." The crowd held their breath, aware of the notorious prince's reputation for violence, including the传说中的杀害亲兄弟的事件. As he approached, a menacing expression on his face, Claire braced herself for whatever punishment might come. Instead, she felt warm hands wrap around her waist, and his head rest against her neck. He took a deep breath and spoke in a deep, resonant voice, "You are a clever and courageous young woman. I can assist you, but there's a price to pay." Caught in a tight embrace, her senses overwhelmed by his scent, Claire realized that her troubles were about to escalate dramatically.
