Karen and the prince exchanged a worried glance, realizing that they were in trouble.
They had been caught trying to escape, and they would have to face the consequences.

They had been caught trying to escape, and they would have to face the consequences.
But then, out of nowhere, a figure appeared and tackled one of the guards to the ground.
Karen and the prince watched in shock as the figure revealed himself to be a werewolf, his fur bristling with anger.
"Get out of here!" the werewolf growled.
"I'll handle these fools!"
Karen and the prince didn't need to be told twice.
They turned and ran down the hallway, their hearts pounding with fear.
They could hear the sound of swords clashing behind them, and the shouts of the guards as they were overpowered by the werewolf.
As they ran, Karen couldn't help but wonder who the werewolf was and why he had helped them.
She had thought that all werewolves were loyal to the king, but this one had risked his life to save them.
They finally made it out of the palace and into the streets of the city.
Karen and the prince slowed down, panting for breath and looking around nervously.
"We have to keep moving," the prince said, his voice urgent.
"The guards will be after us soon."
Karen nodded, feeling a sense of unease wash over her.
She had no idea where they were going or what lay ahead.
All she knew was that she had taken a huge risk by coming to the palace, and now she was on the run.
As they walked down the deserted streets, Karen couldn't help but wonder what the future held for her and the prince.
They had formed an unlikely alliance, but they were up against powerful forces that would stop at nothing to keep them from achieving their goals.
For the first time in her life, Karen felt truly alive, with a sense of purpose and determination that she had never felt before.
But she knew that the road ahead would be dangerous and fraught with danger.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of hooves approaching.
Karen and the prince quickly ducked into an alleyway, hoping to avoid detection.
They could hear the sound of horses and the clanking of armor getting closer.
"Stay quiet," the prince whispered.
"We don't want to draw attention to ourselves."
Karen nodded, her heart pounding in her chest.
She could feel the sweat on her palms as she gripped her dagger tightly, ready to defend herself if necessary.
The horses drew closer, and Karen could see the gleam of torches in the darkness.
She held her breath, hoping that they wouldn't be discovered.
But then, a hand reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
Karen spun around, her dagger raised, ready to fight.
But it was only the werewolf from the palace.
"Come with me," he said.
"I know a place where we can hide."
Karen and the prince followed the werewolf down the alleyway and into a small courtyard.
There was a door at the end of the courtyard, which the werewolf opened with a key.
Inside was a small room, barely big enough for the three of them.
There was a table, a few chairs, and a bed in the corner.
"You can stay here for a while," the werewolf said.
"I'll bring you some food and water."
Karen and the prince looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
They had just met this werewolf, and they had no idea if they could trust him.
But they had no choice.
They were tired and hungry, and they needed a place to rest.
As the werewolf left to get them some food, Karen and the prince sat down at the table.
Karen couldn't help but feel grateful to the werewolf for helping them.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"And why did you help us?"
The werewolf hesitated for a moment before answering.
"My name is Lucas," he said.
"And I helped you because I believe in what you're trying to do."
Karen raised an eyebrow.
"And what are we trying to do?"
Lucas leaned forward.
"You're trying to overthrow the king," he said.
"And I want to help you."
Karen and the prince looked at each other in surprise.
They had never expected to find an ally in a werewolf.
"How can we trust you?" the prince asked.
Lucas shrugged.
"You can't," he said.
"But I'm willing to take the risk. The king has done terrible things, and someone needs to stop him."
Karen and the prince looked at each other, their hearts beating fast.
They had found an unexpected ally, but they still had a long way to go if they were going to achieve their goals.
As they settled down to rest, Karen couldn't help but wonder what the future held for them.
They had made an unlikely ally, but they were still up against powerful forces that would stop at nothing to keep them from achieving their goals.
The night was long, and Karen and the prince slept fitfully, their dreams filled with danger and uncertainty.
But they knew that they had to keep moving forward, no matter what lay ahead.
The next morning, Lucas brought them some bread and cheese, along with a map of the city.
He showed them a hidden path that would take them to the outskirts of the city, where they could find shelter with some sympathetic farmers.
Karen and the prince thanked him, knowing that they owed him their lives.
They set out on the hidden path, their hearts filled with determination.
But as they walked, Karen couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.
She turned around, but there was no one there.
She shrugged it off, thinking that she was just being paranoid.
"I can't do this anymore" Karen blurted out
"Why not?" Prince Alexander
"Turns out I am not property and you don't own me anymore" Karen mocked
"I thought we had gotten past that," the prince said surprised at her outburst
"You never apologized" Karen noted
"But you agreed to go along with this" the prince added
"For the greater good only and I will continue" Karen retorted and turned her back to leave.
Chapter Four: Karen stood in the training yard, her fists clenched as she watched the werewolf rebels spar with each other. She had been training with them for weeks, learning how to harness her inner strength and become a skilled fighter. She had grown stronger, both physically and mentally, and had gained the admiration of those around her.As she watched the rebels, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see Prince Alexander standing behind her, his arms folded across his chest. "Can I speak with you, Karen?" he asked.Karen's heart raced as she followed the prince to a secluded corner of the yard. She had heard many rumors about him, but she couldn't deny the attraction she felt toward him. She had always been drawn to his quiet intelligence and his piercing blue eyes."Karen, I need to tell you something," the prince began. "The rumors about me being useless and cruel are not true. I have been faking this image to protect myself and my plans for the future of our k
Chapter Five: Karen looked at Jamie, feeling her rage bubble up to the surface. "Jealousy is no excuse for what you've done, Jamie," she said, her voice cold and controlled. "You've hurt me, and you've hurt our family. It's time to face the consequences of your actions."Jamie cowered in the corner of her room, her eyes wide with fear. "What consequences?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Karen took a step forward, her fists clenched at her sides. "You will apologize to me and my fated mate," she said, her voice filled with determination. "And you will leave this kingdom, never to return."Jamie's eyes widened in shock. "Leave the kingdom?" she repeated. "But where will I go?""That's not my concern," Karen replied, her voice firm. "You've made your bed, Jamie. Now you have to lie in it."The rebel stepped forward, his eyes flickering with anger. "And if you refuse to leave?" he asked, his voice low and dangerous."Then we'll make sure you leave," Karen replied,
Chapter Six:The tension in the court was palpable, as Karen and the rebel continued to gather information about the conspiracy. Karen couldn't help but feel like she was walking on eggshells, never sure who she could trust.Every time she passed a group of courtiers whispering, she wondered if they were talking about her. She felt like she was under constant surveillance, and the pressure was starting to take its toll.As she entered the throne room for an audience with the king, Karen couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go wrong. The room was empty except for the king and his advisor, Lord Marcus, but Karen felt like there was a storm brewing."Karen, my dear," the king said, his voice warm and welcoming. "How can I assist you today?"Karen took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. "Your majesty," she said, her voice shaking slightly. "I have reason to believe that there is a conspiracy against me and the stability of the kingdom."The king's expression
Chapter Seven:Karen was taken into custody by the guards, despite her protests that she had acted in self-defense. She was thrown into a dank, dark cell, where she was left alone to contemplate her fate.As she sat in the cold darkness, Karen couldn't help but feel despair creeping in. She had fought so hard to uncover the conspiracy and protect the kingdom, but now it seemed like all her efforts had been for nothing.As the hours passed, Karen could hear the faint sound of footsteps outside her cell. She got to her feet, her heart racing with fear and anticipation.The door creaked open, and Karen was momentarily blinded by the light flooding in. She squinted against the brightness, trying to make out the figure standing in the doorway."Karen," a familiar voice said. "I'm sorry it's come to this."Karen's eyes adjusted, and she saw Lord Marcus standing in front of her, his face twisted in a sneer."What do you want?" Karen demanded.Lord Marcus took a step closer, and Karen could s
Chapter Eight:Karen and Jacob ran through the forest, their hearts pounding with the exhilaration of their escape. They were free, but they knew that they were still in danger."We need to find somewhere to hide," Karen said, panting as they ran.Jacob nodded, scanning their surroundings for any signs of danger. "There's an abandoned cabin not far from here," he said. "We can hide out there until we figure out our next move."Karen nodded, and they ran towards the cabin. As they approached, Karen could see that it was rundown and neglected, with broken windows and a creaky door.Jacob pushed the door open, and they stepped inside. The cabin was dark and musty, with a layer of dust covering everything.Karen shivered, feeling a sense of unease wash over her. "Do you think they'll find us here?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Jacob shook his head. "I don't think so," he said. "We're far enough away from the castle that they won't think to look for us here."Karen nodded,
Chapter Nine: It is almost full moon and all the kids are outside to play under the light of the moon. The women and some men sat about round tables laced and decorated with animal skin which looked like that of a tiger and they were all talking happily. "Go away, you are a girl! You can not play with us!" A little boy said. "I will not go to play anywhere and you do not have the right to tell me that! I play where I want to play." The little girl answered. Their voices interrupted the fun the older women and men were having. They turned and saw nine-year-old Karen already in an aggressive mood, ready to fight Paulo, their neighbor's son. Before they could stop them, Paulo smacked Karen across the face which made her fall hard to the ground, bruising her face and knee. Karen yelled in pain as she looked at her wound. She was so furious at this point and she wanted to retaliate. She got up and used her foot to hit Paulo hard in his tummy. Karen got a strange feeling of power at

Chapter Eleven: Karen and her best friend Paulo got closer to the curtain. They sensed that someone was watching them from there. "Psst" Paulo signaled to Karen to keep shut whilst he tip-toed to see the person that was behind the curtain. "Slowly.." Karen cautioned him as he got closer. "Boom!" They heard a loud bang. Paulo was hit on his head by an unknown person. "What!" Karen whispered to herself angry and scared at the time. She immediately took a piece of wood that she saw there. Karen got closer to the curtain and as soon as she got there, it was all dark. Then, she saw someone but wondered who that person must be because the individual was disguised in black clothes even covering his face. "Who are you?" Karen asked shouting. "Show yourself! Come forward if you are not a coward." Karen said to the person as she held the rod tightly. Before Karen ended the statement, she heard footsteps approaching her from behind. The person threw a piece of stone to hit Karen. She
