ALPHA PRINCE’S FORBIDDEN DESIRE 101| LENORA
Four days after I asked him to help with Marcus, an envelope arrived in the mail, thick and weighty, sealed in gold foil with Victor’s personal crest. Inside was an invitation with specific instructions—alarmingly specific. It listed the exact time I was to head downstairs to prepare, the exact boutique I’d be driven to, and the exact expectations for my behavior once I arrived at the event.There were no explanations. Just commands dressed up in cursive calligraphy.Much like the night he invited me to dinner, Victor sent a sleek black car to collect me. This time, it took me to a high-end boutique nestled into the heart of the city. The moment I stepped in, I was no longer a person. I was an image to be crafted.The dress they chose for me was pale pink, delicate as crushed rose petals, threaded with soft pearls and thin silk that clung to my skin. My hair was pulled into an elegant updo, a few strands curled and left to frame my face. They dabbed only a little makeup on me, mostly

For a long moment, Victor didn’t say anything. He just stared at me in that unnerving way—like he was peeling back my skin to see what was twitching beneath. I expected him to say no. To laugh in my face. To punish me for making demands.But instead, he reached under his desk and pressed a button. A faint beep answered, followed by Izaak’s flat, ever-present voice crackling through the speaker.“Alpha?”“Prepare the girl,” Victor said simply, then released the button.That was it.I parted my lips, then slammed them shut. I shouldn’t have to say thank you. This wasn’t a favor. This was an exchange—him giving me something I should’ve gotten a long time ago.I just stood there, heart hammering, the edges of my fingers prickling with static. Either way, it was done. He was giving me this—for whatever reason, on whatever twisted impulse—but I would take it. I would take it and hold it tight, because this might be all I’d ever get.Victor rose from behind his desk and smoothed out his suit

I got up eventually, my muscles ached and my bones screamed in protest as I uncurled from the position I’d been bent in for what could have been hours, but it was my heart that began to scream and ache as I stared at the note place tentatively on my coffee table. It looked so normal and felt normal as I picked it up, but for whatever reason, the note seemed to a weigh a million pounds as I picked it up and stared at it. Just ten digits. Curved in soft, hopeful handwriting.I stared at it for a long time, the lines swimming as my vision swam in and out of focus. Then I folded it carefully. Once. Twice. Slid it into the drawer with my old chargers and snapped pen caps—the graveyard of things I didn’t use but couldn’t throw away.It didn’t mean anything. It didn’t.But still, I didn’t tear it.It was more grace than I likely should ever give my mother, but I couldn’t get the image of the heartbreak that flashed across her face at my words. The sincerity in her voice as she left her num

“Tea or coffee?” I asked the woman seated on my couch.She looked up at me, her blue eyes full and sharp at once, and replied, “Coffee.”That was a surprise—my mother never drank coffee—but I made it without a word. Two cubes of sugar, like she used to prefer, a little milk, then I set it on a coaster and brought it to her.She nodded with a muttered, “Thank you,” and took a long sip. I just stood across from her and stared.She looked much older than the last time I saw her. Her hair was longer and more unkempt, though pinned back into one of her typically severe buns. There were more wrinkles on her once-ageless face. Her lips were pulled down in a permanent frown, her posture more slumped. Her hair was grayer. She looked tired—more fragile than I’d ever seen her.Maybe another child would feel their heart ache a little, seeing their parent like this. But I was just trying to figure out how she had found me—and, more importantly, who she might have led here.I kept waiting, tense, c

When I was sixteen, I made the mistake of trying to carve out a path for myself.One of the routes I took involved working toward my PhD and falling for a man—or rather, a boy. He was only two years older than me, with sandy blonde hair, freckles, and the kindest smile I’d ever seen. He treated me better than anyone ever had.All my life, I’d been told I was destined for someone else—the son of the Alpha. But why? Why was I supposed to bind myself to someone I didn’t even love? Someone who didn’t love me either? Someone who wasn’t even my mate?So, for a little while, I decided to defy that destiny. That was how I ended up with my first boyfriend.He was the son of the pack doctor. We met at school shortly after my sixteenth birthday. Unlike everyone else, he didn’t shrink away from me, cowed by my title or the weight of what I was. He saw me eating alone one day and approached with the brightest smile. He introduced himself and waited for me to do the same—something I’d rarely done,

The garden smelled like lavender and fresh earth.I was small again—maybe seven or eight—kneeling in the flower beds beside Mum. The sun hung low and golden, spilling warmth across the hedges and blooming petals. Bees buzzed lazily in the distance, and windchimes clinked from the porch like tiny bells. I could hear the steady snip of her garden shears, rhythmic and familiar, like a lullaby wrapped in sound.She wore her straw hat, the one with the frayed brim and blue ribbon I used to tug when I wanted her attention. Dirt streaked her forearms, her fingernails packed with soil, but she looked radiant—like the sunlight itself loved her.“There we go,” she said softly, reaching down to pat my back. “Your hands are gentle. That’s why the flowers like you.”I grinned, my heart blooming with pride. “I wanna help every day.”She glanced sideways, her eyes warm. “I’d love that. Maybe you can teach your sister how to do this.”I giggled, still elated at the thought of having a little sibling.
