Julian's Promise

Harriet blinked at the distracted Julian. She raised her eyebrows high at the young man's side profile. Then, she asked, "What's wrong, Second Prince?"

Julian didn't understand himself. His body suddenly felt hot and bothered, and his brain caught on to something particular. A scent. A delicious scent, to be exact.

"Something..." Julian grasped his chest. His eyebrows dipped further and further down. Then, he began to feel pain.

Some of the Lycans turned to him, eyes full of questions. They felt something was wrong. But then, suddenly, Julian bolted away towards the castle.

"Second Prince?!" Harriet called. "What's happening?"

[Maybe it's rutting.]

"Huh?!" Harriet immediately asked some Lycan to go after him. "What do you mean rutting? Did he just find his mate?!"

[That's possible. He's also a Lycan... and if you don't know, he's my beta too.]
