Three days had passed since Flora poisoned Alora. Zack was not pleased with what had happened. He almost could not believe Flora could do such a thing.If he had not witnessed her giving the tea to Alora that day, he would have assumed she was lying.He wondered how Flora had changed so dramatically. He used to think that she was a softhearted girl who could never hurt an insect. But here she was, attempting to kill her sister. She never thought a single time about her father, who had given her a new life in her childhood. She tried to take his daughter away from him.Zack received an order from Alpha Joshua three days ago. He had instructed him to see how Flora was doing today. So today he was going to prison to see Flora.Zack was buttoning his shirt and looking at himself in the mirror. He recalled how Flora used to help him button his shirt in the morning. Whenever he left for the company, she always woke up early to join him for breakfast.Zack clenched his jaw, thinking how time
Flora has been in prison for three days now.In truth, she was in hell. Those who were in charge there treated her as if she were a wild animal that had done something wrong to them.She was beaten, and she was not given any food at any point. Her clothes were stained with dried blood. Her entire body was numb from pain. She was only surviving in water.There was no one in the cell who could ask the guards not to beat her.Flora begged them to let her go, telling them repeatedly that she did not try to poison Alora. But they claimed her family did not trust her. If her father wished, he could save her.Currently, Flora was sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall. She was traumatized.In her cell, she could only smell blood, her own blood.Her wolf became weaker, and her body lost all of its strength.She had realized that in this world, there was no one for her. She was completely alone.Her gaze was fixated on the ground. Her vision had become blurry. Anyone could see the drie
The assistant questioned bewilderedly, "Alpha, are you sure?"With a chilly tone, Aron said, "Do as you are told."As the assistant gulped and quickly nodded, sweat began to form on his forehead."I am going to distract them; then you can enter the police station."A short distance from the police station, the car came to a stop. The assistant stepped down and walked towards the crowd.When the assistant was distracting the reporters, Aron grabbed a black mask and put it on. Then he got out of the car.His long overcoat swayed in the cold breeze as he walked past the crowd without drawing their attention. He passed them on his way into the police station.His assistant was very good at diverting their attention. He felt proud of himself and thought that the king would give him a raise.As soon as Aron entered the police station, everyone turned their heads toward him."Didn't we tell you that no reporters are allowed inside? Why did you dare to come from the crowd?" a guard said, rush
Flora's POV"Please..."The man did not stop beating me. I pleaded with him repeatedly to let me go, but he showed no mercy.The pain in my body caused my eyes to become blurry. The man got down on his knees and grabbed my hair."Beta Zack will not come here to save you. Your father does not want to save you, either. You are useless, nothing more than dust to Alpha's family."In pain, I gritted my teeth and tried not to scream anymore. However, I screamed when he grabbed my bloody cloth.He grabbed my sleeve and ripped it, revealing my bare arm.I was startled.What was going to happen to me?This man was going to...'No, no. I can't let this happen. The pain was already traumatic for me. I could not take this scare forever with me,' I thought.I gathered all my strength and attempted to push him. He gave me a glare when I did it."How dare you push me? Did you really expect to be able to push me with your weak body? But you showed your audacity again. I will not let you go now."He g
My attention then shifted to the whip. The whip was close to my body, but a fair and strong hand was holding it, as if to prevent it from reaching my body.My eyes slowly moved to the man who was grabbing the whip. He was very tall. I could not see his face from where I was sitting. He was standing tall and imposing, and he was obstructing the yellow light.I blinked my blurry eyes as soon as my gaze reached his face that was concealed by a mask. I cleared my view after blinking a few times to get a better look.When I did that, my eyes locked with his dark orbs, and the sensation of shivers spread throughout my numb body.I let out a gasp of shock."Y-You?"I was shocked to see King Aron again.His eyes shifted from my face and moved to my body. I tried to crawl my body but hissed in pain.I noticed his eyes darken as he looked at my blood-soaked white dress, one sleeve torn.After recovering from his shock, the man who had been whipping me asked,"Who the hell are you?"He did not expect a rand
I let out a gasp, quickly trying to wrap my hands around his neck. But because of the pain that was going through my body, I was unable to move my hands.My wounds started to burn from the warm coat rubbing against them, but I still felt warm leaning close to King Aron.When he moved, my hands rested on his chest, clenching his shirt when I felt pain.He stopped, glancing down at my face. I shied away from his gaze. He seemed to understand my condition. He then tightened his hand around my waist while loosening his hold on my upper back.When he exited the cell, the inspector hurried up behind him."Where are you taking her? She is not allowed to leave her cell."Aron paused, turning his head to the inspector. His gaze made the inspector gulp, making him nervous.I slowly raised my gaze to look at Aron. His sharp jaw cleared my blurry view. He even looked good from a lower angle."She is Alpha's daughter, you know. No one can take her away without our Alpha's permission."I heard the
Zack's POVI was sitting on the edge of Alora's bed. She was asleep while holding my hand. I was staring at her, observing her peaceful expression while sleeping.She was completely innocent. But she had to go through so much just for Flora.I remembered when I found her at the border. She was in a situation where anyone could ruin her. She was imprisoned, and I rescued her. What if I had not been there? What might have happened to her?More importantly, this girl had saved me before. If she had not been there, I would not be where I am now.I lifted my other hand and caressed her hair, relieved that she was safe.Today, I was too shocked to respond when her maid, Milani, called. When I got back to the pack house, Alora was crying in bed. Her maid mentioned that she was coughing up blood.When our pack doctor came to check on her, I asked him why he lied that day when he said that she was out of danger. He appeared perplexed at first, but after examining Alora, he explained that it was
Flora's POVThe deep light, capable of piercing anything with its warm glow, fell on my eyes.I fluttered my long lashes, attempting to avoid the light that was obscuring the darkness of my closed eyes.I slowly opened my eyes. When I noticed that my vision was becoming hazy, I blinked a few times.After a moment of clearing my view, my eyes greeted an unknown ceiling.I slowly lowered my gaze to see where I was. I immediately discovered an unknown room.The whole room was clean and cozy. It was pleasant to look around. With its simple white paint and a few pieces of furniture, the room was well-organized.Suddenly I was confused because this was not my room.Where was I?I experienced a burning sensation on my face as the sunlight struck it.When I turned my head, I noticed that the window a few feet from the bed was open. Without the curtains drawn, the sunlight directly hit my face and my body, which was covered by a white blanket.I turned my head away and tried to put pressure on
As soon as I heard Aron's voice, my heart began to pound against my chest. I was immediately taken aback.The sound of his footsteps approaching from behind me caused my body to freeze.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heartbeat. I was embarrassed to think that everyone could hear my heartbeats.Everything King Aron had done for me came to mind. I could not turn my head to look at him.When he walked behind me and grabbed the chair near me, I felt my body become heavier.My eyes widened as I realized I was sitting beside the head chair.How did it slip my mind that the Alpha always sits in the head chair?I swallowed when he sat down in the chair.When he rested his hands on the table, his slender, long fingers caught my attention.I blinked, trying to compose myself. I did not know how I would start my new life here. But this man was the reason I was alive.The sound of a chair moving on the floor was heard in the room as I stood up slowly. I bowed to King Aron and gree
The maids gave me a strange look. "Don't you know?" One of them asked.I was too stunned to respond. I blinked my eyes, scanning the surroundings. I started walking, almost running.The maids began to run behind me."Hey! Miss! Where are you going?""Alpha will kill us if you run away."I could hear them coming from behind me. But my steps did not stop.A large window caught my attention, and I stopped walking. I paused there and peered out.My attention was drawn to the large yard area downstairs. The only thing I could see was the size of the pack house."So am I really in King Aron's pack house?" I mumbled.As an outsider, being in this pack house was a huge deal. Except for the royal family, no one was allowed in the house.I wondered how kind the king was to let me stay here for the entire week."You almost gave us a heart attack!" exclaimed one of the maids, huffing.I shook my head and replied,"I am sorry. I was shocked at first."They motioned to me and said,"Let's go."I fo
As if the ground slipped beneath my feet, I felt like falling from the edges.The news of Alpha William shook me. Did my one hit from a flower vase actually kill someone?I could not believe it.I remembered the cop who was with me in the car telling me that Alpha William had many enemies and could be killed by them. So, all of the blame must have fallen on my head.My lips started trembling. I mumbled,"I-I didn't kill him."Usha stared at me for a while. Then she got up from the bed and asked,"Did you not hit the man?"I looked at her and nodded my head lightly. "I did. He was in a pool of blood, too. But he was still alive."Usha shook her head and said,"Everyone did their best to save him. Even Alpha himself sent the doctors to save him. However, it appeared that you struck him on the head, and he suffered a brain stroke right away. The doctors could not save him."I felt tears in my eyes, flickering. "W-Was I going to die? They must be searching for me to hang me."Usha gave me
I felt like someone was beating my body. I tried to break free from the beat, but I felt a shackle around my body, trapping me and making me a captive of hell.I shook my head, feeling a fire slowly burn through my fur.My fur, which was white like pure, was turning black due to how quickly the fire burned me.I could not feel tears. But I felt something liquid coming out of my eyes.I realized it was blood!I was crying blood.What kind of punishment was I getting?"L-Leave me," I pleaded, trying to flee.The burning sensation continued to move throughout my body, causing me to freeze from pain.I could not help but scream as loudly as possible."NO!"My eyes suddenly flung open, and I blinked.I saw I was not in the dark anymore, or no one was burning my wolf.'My wolf?' I thought.I pressed my hand over my chest and felt my heart beating fast. I felt my wolf inside me, moving.My eyes widened, and I sat up.I looked down and found myself on a soft mattress. My body was covered with
I was not sure if we would be able to reach King Aron. Right now, he was the only man in the world who could save me.As Kayla started the car, I prayed in my heart that I would be able to get to King Aron as soon as possible.I did not know if he would save me. But I did not want to die like a criminal.I remembered how many times he had saved me.I owed him a lot.Though he always told me that I would have to pay him back, he never asked anything from me.The car drove into a path that was surrounded by forest on both sides.“If we enter the forest, we can reach the main road,” Kayla said.I nodded my head, taking a deep breath.As I looked through the side mirrors, I suddenly noticed that two cars were starting to follow Kayla's car.When I saw that those were the police cars, I was completely taken aback. I realized that the cops had learned about my escape and were now following us."Kayla, stop the car."She shot me a look. "What do you mean?""They will catch you, damn it! Stop
Fear engulfed me completely. Without a doubt, they would put an end to my life in prison. My only option would be to flee and make my way to King Aron.I saw the other cops talking to some men near the restaurant. I tried to come up with a plan to get out of the car.After giving some thought, I turned to the man sitting next to me and said,"I need to go to the washroom."He rolled his eyes and replied, "Why?” I lowered my head and mumbled, "I—I have to pee.""You must wait an hour to reach the police station."I shook my head and replied, "I am afraid I will ruin the seats. Help me get into the washroom."He gave me a disgusted look. "Bitch, are you playing with me?"“Please, I can't control it anymore. I will—”"Okay, fine. But don't dare to do anything nonsense."I nodded my head, raising my hand, and wiped my tears away with my sleeve.He got out of the car and kept the door open for me to get out.I climbed out of the car, glancing around me. I tried to find a way to run away.
My eyes moved abruptly. I took a step back, causing my legs to stumble.My father was cutting all the ties with me! Wasn't he the one who asked me to stay with him as his daughter?I would not have stayed here if he had not requested me.I bit my bottom lip as I could not stop myself. I smiled at my father sadly and asked,"Dad, have you never thought of me as your daughter? Please tell me honestly. I promise, I will never ask you again."My father turned his head to face me. I saw something moving inside his eyes. I tried to read them, but he removed all of my hope and replied to me coldly."Do you still have the courage to ask me the question? What did Alpha William do to you? He was a wealthy man who wanted to marry you. But you! You tried to kill him."I did not want to hear anything else. All I wanted to hear was his answer."Dad, am I not your daughter? The daughter whom you adopted when she was a child? The daughter whom you used to dote on? The daughter who you once said was e
I shook my head and tried to get out of bed. I walked toward him and said,"No, Dad. She is lying. I was only trying to save myself. He... He tried to—"My father pushed me out of his way without even listening to me and dashed toward Alpha William. He had a shocked expression.His push caused me to fall against the wall. I moaned in pain as my right leg hit the wall. I bit my tongue to keep from screaming. It made my tongue bleed and left me with a silvery taste in my mouth.My father, Alpha Joshua, knelt and moved his fingers toward Alpha William's nose."He is breathing!" he said.Alora was standing behind him, stomping her feet, which he could not see. It looked like she wanted Alpha William to die so that I would be punished.My father summoned all his officials, who had been accompanying him outside the pack the entire time. Zack was not here since he had gone out of the pack for some work.After that, they assisted in carrying Alpha William to the pack hospital so that he could
Alpha William's eyes widened in shock as the unbearable pain struck his head. He took a few steps backward, his eyes glaring at me, making me feel scared."Y-You—"He could not finish his sentence as his body fell on the floor.I pressed my hand against my mouth to keep myself from letting out a scream. Alpha William's eyes went close. He looked like he was about to die."No, no, no. I can't kill anyone."I tried to locate my phone on the bed. I noticed it had fallen to the floor on the other side of the bed. It might have fallen when Alpha William tried to get close to me.I bit my lip in fear, trying to rush to my phone. However, my leg was hurting like hell.I could not stop myself from screaming for help."Someone, please help!"I heard someone rushing over to my room as I heard footsteps approaching. I turned my head to the door, thinking that it was a maid.But instead of a maid, it was my sister, Alora.She gave me a disturbed look as if she was annoyed by my scream. However, h
