### Summary
The chapter escalates the tension from the previous cliffhanger, confirming readers' fears for Nine Forton. Following the ball, the original novel's heroine, Yuri Elizabeth, is introduced, and Crown Prince Ian Basilios immediately becomes infatuated with her, much to the audience's disgust. However, the primary focus shifts to the frantic search for Nine, who fled in terror. The narrative reveals a significant plot twist, confirming fan theories: Nine is a werewolf. He is violently confronted and injured by another, aggressive red-haired werewolf, who readers speculate is his former alpha. This new antagonist's actions have provoked extreme anger from the audience, who are fiercely protective of Nine and express a desire for Melissa to rescue him and deliver retribution. While some readers hope for a future alliance or friendship between Melissa and the seemingly kind Yuri, the overwhelming sentiment is one of intense worry for Nine's safety and fury toward this new threat, who is now seen as even worse than the original male leads.
