The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:

Not only did the mutants develop the intelligence and ability to move, but it also grew to have a strong instinct to attack werewolves. Once a werewolf would enter its territory, these plants would attack him as a group, tearing their prey into pieces. It was for this reason that King Ethan had also forbidden ordinary werewolves from entering this

area of the forest, where there should have been no mutated plants. Fortunately, when I checked, there seemed to be only one tree
