Rejected by the Alpha Claimed by the Lycan King

Jasmine was so scared when she saw what happened with the town. Many people were injured and most of them were children and elderly, but there was no warrior in sight.

“Princess, I think we need to get out of this town. We need to leave,” Ethan said with urgency when they came closer to the town. They could see that this place had been ransacked. There was no way mere thieves who had done this.

Thieves wouldn’t be able to destroy a town in such short time.

“We need to know what happened here,” Jasmine said, she ignored his warning to leave, as she headed toward the people there. She looked so worried and she couldn’t even hide it.

Ethan came closer to her, he followed her since he couldn’t persuade her to leave this place. The princess could be stubborn. More so, he also needed to know what was going on here.

A few houses had been burned down to the ground, leaving only ashes and charcoal, probably the fire was extinguished because of the snow last night, therefore, they didn’t see the smoke from afar, which meant, the destruction had been going on for quite a while.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

The buildings that were still standing were also destroyed, the doors hanged loosely on its hinges. The intruder must have checked every building here and took the valuable things.

Jasmine walked among the wreckages and her heart was beating so fast, it hurt her to see these people were in dire need of help, but she couldn’t do anything to alleviate their pain.

The children were crying, asking for their mother or their family and Jasmine helped them to stay in one place, she also helped the elderly to gather in one building that was still decent. Ethan helped her too, while the dead…

They didn’t know what to do with their dead bodies. They couldn’t bury them all, because there was a high chance the attackers would return and it was not safe for Jasmine to be around. If they learned her identity, they wouldn’t let her go. She would be in a great danger.

Jasmine knew about that too.

“What happened here?” Jasmine asked one of the elderly, his wounds almost close and he was very grateful for Jasmine’s help. He didn’t even know that she was the princess of the kingdom.

“I am not sure what happened…” he said in bitter tone, he looked around him and grimaced, as he told them about what actually happened.

Apparently two days ago, there was an attack, the warriors in the town fought them all, but on the second day, there were more enemies to the point they surrounded the town and killed all the warriors, also the men in the town, who they deemed could trouble them.

Two days ago… it was almost the same time when Jasmine found Kellan. He was unconscious in her lake house.

From the look of it, Kellan was wrong to think that those warriors came only for him. As it turned out, his brother wanted to expand his territory by taking some part of their kingdom.

“We need to tell father about this. We need to alert father that the other kingdom has breached our territory.” Jasmine was thinking that this matter became deeper than she thought.

Lam sure the king was aware about this situation, the warriors must have sent report about this.” Ethan was familiar with the procedure, that was why he believed by this time the king must have heard about the situation here. “He will send reinforcement.”

Especially when he realized that his lovely daughter was in great danger, since this town and the lake house was very close.

“Still, it will take a week for them to reach this place,” Jasmine said and Ethan agreed. “Should we go to the next town?”

“Those people went to the next town too. I think it will be better for you to stay here…” The elder man said. He looked at Jasmine with worried. “Don’t go there. It will not be safe for you

Jasmine contemplated that information and then agreed it would be best if she stayed there and observed the situation first.

In the end, Ethan found a safe spot for Jasmine to sleep that night, while they tried to figure out what they had to do next.

“I am sorry, princess. I couldn’t find anything here. This is the best I can do. I hope you have a good rest.” He had gathered clean blanket that he could find and make them into makeshift bed for Jasmine, but he had to apologize for that.

Jasmine chuckled when she heard that. “I will be very ungrateful if I asked more than this. Thank you so much, Ethan, for taking a good care of me.”

Ethan looked bashful. He simply nodded and then sat down next to her bed.

“Have you received any news from the other wa
