Rescue Refused
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...?

LOVE IT!
Thanks for making this playable on web! (That is where I played it.) The art is really cute.
I loved that last feature point lol.
Such a cozy start! And then I was like HUH IM HORRIBLE AT THIS GAME lol. Loved how the story continues, though I think I missed one ending, I'll have to go back and check. I got a good one and I'm happy for it LOL
Cute art and cute character artwork too!!
