The Lycan's Forbidden Mate novel Chapter 164

164 Dawn of gods (13)

Ophelia did not bother to imprison the gods. She released them so they could submit their reports.

Despite being aware of the assassination, she truly didn’t think they would storm into her castle, but her instincts told her otherwise. Knowing full well that her castle was too sophisticated for the assassins to desire to follow a window or anywhere, she instructed her guards and maids to let the

assassins in.

Overall, she remained quite enraged.

Seated on the cushion in one of the castle’s cozy little sitting rooms, she balled her fists. “We just have a few minutes more.”

Nikolai just stared. “You should have let me finish them off.”

Ophelia glared at him. “I do not want blood to be spilled unnecessarily.”

Nikolai scowled. Back then, the scent of blood served as a draw. They were aware of the blood moon gods‘ predilection for blood, of course. He folded his arms across his torso. “Ridiculous.”

“How much time do you have?” Asking, Ophelia got up and walked past him.

She stopped as Nikolai grabbed her arm. “You don’t have to think much about this.”

“You said it yourself that it is dangerous to leave the moon activated.” Ophelia mumbled. “I do not want a consequence to happen because of me.” In all honesty, they would have just chosen to fight right away and end the conflict. Ophelia, however, wanted to play by the rules and let Nikolai hear from her father, the supreme master sun god, about his judgment. Nikolai was aware that it was her natural desire to obey the order. So, he did not

ose were unexpected remarks, and Ophelia found herself thinking about hat he had said before right away. ‘I think I want you more than I need you. Then, with a smile, she put her palm on his face, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him.

Nikolai was shocked. Too shocked even to return the kiss.

Leaning away, Ophelia smiled against his lips. “Have you found a reason to stay?”

With a dazed expression, Nikolai nodded.

Ophelia chuckled, her face becoming/redder. She was happy that she had the same effect on him that he had on her.

“You are the reason.” Leaning towards her, Nikolai put his arms around her and whispered. “Goddess Ophelia.”

Ophelia gazed at him, her eyes wide. His eyes flared gently, hers twinkled. She was suddenly struck with realization, and her heart began to race wildly with fear. One of them… was going to die. One of them… She was going to make sure it was her. Living without Nikolai… Could she do that?

She regretted having met him, in a little way.

The servant dipped her head. “There are signs of a high ranking demon trying to cross into the celestial dimension with force.”

Him?” Taken aback by his remarks, Ophelia turned to face Nikolai.

Nikolai slowly released her. “I am acquainted with him. You need not be

concerned because he won’t be able to enter.”

Ophelia gave a slow inquisitive nod.

“It’s time for the ball, your divinity.” With a labored breath, another servant entered and reported. It appeared as though she had been running for many hours.

“Oh.” Ophelia, feeling a little uneasy, pressed her lips.

When Nikolai caught sight of this, he instantly held her hand in his, and Ophelia took a deep breath to collect herself before stating, “Time to depart.” Nikolai then grinned.

The sole division in the sun celestial dimension was in the level of power between the sun gods and the fire gods. The combined might of the nine sun gods was equal to that of millions of fire gods. In light of this, inferiority was only reasonable.

When Ophelia arrived at the altar, where the nine thrones were, she was saddened to see that the eight sun gods were seated. Everybody was staring at her.

Although Nikolai was hesitant to let go of Ophelia, he quickly released her hand when he felt her slowly attempting to break free from his hold.

Without giving it any thought, Ophelia gracefully ascended the steps that led her to sit on her throne, which was situated next to her father. Her
