Dating a werewolf is always a wild ride–even more so when she’s a princess!

But the two of you have been living a surprisingly quiet life in the countryside. Your tranquil life is interrupted, however, when royal guards come knocking, demanding the return of their “kidnapped” princess.

You never kidnapped her, and she doesn’t want to go back. Will you escape the guards, or...?
