Nova has returned to the palace.

The Lycan king sat down, his gaze still fixed on Nova. He was overcome with emotions. His wolf is eager and thirsty to claim her as his own. He looked away from her, trying to concentrate on his goal.

Alex knew that if he continued to stare at her, he would become less focused. Nova, meanwhile, found his intense stares unsettling and questioned his presence in the village.

As the Lycan king got up to blurt out some words, she wiped her thoughts from her mind.

"I understand you are curious about my presence. I am here to select my bride. All mated women should separate now." Alex spoke with a commanding tone.

The women who had mates split off from the single women. Alex got up from his chair and approached the remaining women since there were not many of them. Alex did not care that there were twenty of them because Nova was among the ones he wanted.

He examined the women closely without glancing at Nova.
