Please DON'T READ this chapter yet. I will update this 4th week of September!
Good news! My hands have healed now and I'm catching up on writing my missed chapters. My apologies for all the delays. I will replace this chapter with the real one soon, don't worry, and upload a new one for the next day. I really apologize once again.
In the meantime, please enjoy the continuation of the story below titled "The King's Beloved". This is the revised version I am planning to submit for paperback publication. Hopefully, I get a chance someday.

The lupus lunged towards Rania and the sprites. Its heavy footsteps and loud howl alerted everyone. Panicking, they ran for their lives once more.
"W-what happened?! W-why did he suddenly turn back?" Luna asked the other sprites.
"I don't know. I'm sure we managed to hit it."
