تسجيل الدخولAdam's eyes moved from me and fell on the book. I quickly bent down and picked up the book."I-I just came here!" I lied to him.I didn't want him to know that I was overhearing his private conversation with his favorite woman.I stood straight, holding the book against my chest. His eyes didn't return to me as they were fixed on the thick ancient book cover.I glanced at the book and then at him. "T-This is the book Princess Vaila gave to me. It has all the knowledge of herbs to make them into a cure."Prince Adam finally shifted his eyes to me. I swallowed my breath when our gazes locked.I recalled his conversation with Lenore and felt my heart tighten. I looked away from him and slowly bowed my head."Your Highness, thank you for giving me a job here, letting me live under your roof, giving me better food, and taking my burden without any expectations. I am grateful to you, Your Highness!" I thanked him with a genuine heart.This man was not an ordinary guy. He was the prince, the
I was surprised to hear his words. I slowly turned my head and glanced at him from under the tree.Lenore looked shocked. She leaned close to him, looking at him with a frown.Her hands reached out, and she placed them on his chest, rubbing his skin over the shirt.I quickly looked away.I didn't know why I couldn't see them together. Was it because Lenore was rude to me?By how everyone talked about her, it was more than clear that she was Prince Adam's woman. She might be his girlfriend or lover.I moved slightly, trying to make myself invisible in their sight under the dim light that was coming from the palace wall. I didn't want to ruin their private moments.Lenore's voice came out sweet yet very powerful."Adam, you only gave me the right to call your name. You haven't forgotten our nights, have you? I am a woman who can touch you, who can sleep with you; you can roam around the pack with you. Do you know why?"I didn't want to hear them anymore. But her words somehow caught my
I was surprised. "A healer?"That was a big duty with a lot of responsibility. It needed research and the ability to find something that could cure disease.It was almost like a doctor."How can I be a healer?" I asked; my voice was full of surprise.Princess Vaila frowned at me. "Do you want to stay here without doing anything? Didn't you hear my brother yesterday? He said you are going to stay here."I blinked, looking away from her. "Why did he want me to be a healer?""You ask so many questions, Erica," Princess Vaila grumbled.She was no longer the sweet woman to me who used to give me advice. Well, she once told me how dangerous her brother was. I just ignored it completely that time."I will do that. If he wants me to cultivate herbs here, I will do that."Princess Vaila rolled her eyes. "You are talking like you are doing him a favor. Erica, yesterday you behaved very wrongly with my brother. I let you go because he doesn't want me to punish you. But don't make him mad again."
I glanced at Prince Adam for the last time and turned my back. I didn't want to go inside to have breakfast; I just wanted to ask if he was fine. I couldn't talk to him because of Lenore.I sighed, lowering my head. I walked back to the stairs.I was upset. I didn't know why. Was it because of how those maids insulted me? Or was it because Prince Adam started to ignore me?My eyes shifted to my hands. I lifted them and looked at my palm. Last night I touched his blood. My skin could still feel his fur.I recalled his monstrous wolf and took a deep breath.'How could I hate the wolf who helped me to go to my pack from the forbidden mountain?'I remembered how I rode Adam's wolf. He looked giant but like an alpha. He really knew how to keep his wolf's size in control.'Did he not go scare me?' I thought.I went back to my bedroom. I noticed my breakfast was already in the room. It looked like maids brought my breakfast when I was not there.I had no appetite to eat. I grabbed my phone t
Adam stared at me. His brows were furrowed. There was a thin line developed between his brows, indicating that he was in some thought.Or I could say he didn't like my words."You are right. I don't deserve anyone's sympathy. Just as you said, I am a monster, aren't I?" he grumbled.My eyes went larger. My gaze tried to capture his look, which was enraged at me.Those eyes... I recognized them.They are the same eyes I met last night. 'How could I never notice those eyes? 'I thought.He scoffed at me. I realized he had asked a question, but I was too lost to reply to him.I was about to shake my head in denial when a woman's voice came out."Adam!"I turned my head and saw Lenore walking toward the stairs. She frowned at me while calling Prince Adam again."Adam! What are you doing? Come down. I need to talk to you about something important." Her voice was desperate and filled with anger.Her brows kept moving as she gave me angry glares. I recalled her warning. I looked away from her
Erica's POVThe sky was clear today. But the breeze was misty. The wind moved around with the scent of earth. It was a sign that the sky would soon get clouded and then it would pour sorrow over the world.My eyes were outside the window, observing the beautiful rainy weather.I was lost as I saw a few birds taking their shelter in a long tree, hiding under the long leaves as if it would save them from the blowing wind.It reminded me of the wolf I had touched last night. It was Prince Adam's wolf, monstrous in size and ferocious in look.Last night was a lot easier for me. I slept very late waiting for someone to knock on my door like before. I thought he would come after me.But he never came. I didn't hear another growl or groan after Beta Lucian went to him. I only hoped that Beta Lucian could help him.My eyes shifted from the tree and drew to the other side of the palace. It was Prince Adam's wing that I could see from my window.I saw a few curtains move. I realized he was awak
I didn’t have time to think about Kael.I wrapped a black scarf around my face and entered the market, then headed toward the pack house.Outside, a few maids were whispering.“Miss Nova took that old woman somewhere.”My heart dropped.“Where?” I asked, disguising my voice.Before they could answe
The air seemed to freeze around me. I stared at him, the man I once loved the most.Even after six months, I saw no regret or guilt in his eyes. He was the head Alpha, but he still did not want to find out the truth.Justin narrowed his eyes on me. “Why are you scrubbing the floor? Is this what you
“Kael...” I breathed, relief flooding through me.He looked at me calmly. “You look pale.”“I’m fine,” I lied. “Thank you... for healing me. And for last night.”His gaze lingered on me for a second, unreadable.Suddenly, “Damn the shift,” Kael said coldly. “Why are you so desperate to crawl back
My knees gave up and I fell to the ground. The three men's knees shook, and they also fell on their knees beside me. The growl was so powerful that it shook Justin too. But he controlled himself. The roar and that strong voice narrowed Justin's eyes. He looked behind me, frowning deeply. With pa
