Chapter 149

• Noel's heart was pounding like a drum. The long-awaited night had finally arrived. He would finally mark his mate. His hand moved to her shoulder, and he felt her shiver under his touch. But then, the magical moment was shattered by a loud crashing sound. Winona looked up at him in panic, and they both rushed out of the Royal mating chamber to investigate the source of the commotion.
• They returned to the throne room to find two of the royal guards struggling to restrain an obviously intoxicated man who kept screaming, "She is mine! She is mine!" The scene was so bewildering that Noel was frozen in shock. Who was this fool who seemed to have a death wish?
• Before he could order the guards to throw the man out, the man's eyes locked onto him and Winona, specifically Winona. He suddenly broke free from the guards' hold and started running towards her.
