After noticing that the wolf was gone and wasn't returning anytime soon, Katherine sighed dejectedly and tried to walk back in the direction she came from, hoping Maximus was back.
Honestly, she didn't want to go to the University anymore. She also knew she was going to get scolded by Maximus for diving into the water and getting her clothes dirty again.
He said he knew everything that happened in the forest behind the University, which meant the elder prince told him everything, including what she was doing and how he had to get her a change of clothes.
Katherine wrapped her hands around herself, walking forward deep in her thoughts, when she felt someone's presence behind her, and before she could react, someone held her hand and pulled her back, making her stumble back.
"What-" her heart skipped a beat when the familiar scent wafted through her nostrils and she gulped, a sigh of relief escaping her lips.
