I was stunned when I heard the man.'Y-Your Majesty?' I said in my head.I slowly turned my head to look at the man sitting proudly on the couch alone.He was dressed in a black tailored suit, with his legs folded and one hand resting on the armrest while the other held a glass of wine.I gulped as my gaze shifted to his face and locked on the pair of dark eyes.My heart skipped a beat.I could not move as I could tear my eyes off of him. I gulped when his dark gaze shifted from my eyes to my body.For the first time since I arrived at the club tonight, I felt shy inside, feeling insecure about my looks and my body.When he returned his gaze to his face and met mine again, my cheeks heated.I blinked my eyes when I heard another man.“Who sent you here, pretty girl? How did they find out the king was here?”I could not understand King Aron's gaze since he was so skilled at hiding his emotions. I could not read his eyes.I immediately bowed to him."I apologize, Your Majesty. It's my m
Masked Man? An affair with him?Perhaps they were dreaming, I thought and scoffed. They had no idea who that man was. If they were aware, they would never ask the same question again."Madeline, I thought you called us here to celebrate your birthday," Kayla said with a disappointed look.Madeline shifted her gaze to Kayla, shaking her head. "I apologize if I asked something offensive.""You shouldn't have—"I held Kayla's hand and interrupted her.I glanced at Zack and sneered at him. Everyone seemed to be waiting for my answer with their judgmental eyes fixed on me."Whether I have an affair with anyone or not would be the last question. And did I cheat on your beta? I clearly recall him taking a backstep after returning from the border with Alora. I asked about our wedding, which he had promised. But it looks like...."I moved my gaze to Alora and grinned at her slyly. It was the same look she used to give me whenever my father scolded me because of her.“My sister was already swoo
I could feel Zack's gaze on me while I was speaking with Madeline. I was certain Alora disliked it. Did she think only she could play tricks on me? It was too bad. Because she had already shown me all of her limits. It was now my turn to stay one step ahead of her.I thanked Madeline and wished her happy birthday once again before leaving the cabin.Outside the cabin, I turned left and right to locate Kayla."Where is she?"I looked around but could not find her. "Did I lose her?"I pulled out my phone and dialed her number.Luckily she was not that drunk for not receiving the call."Kayla, where are you?""I... I am in the washroom."Hearing her drowsy voice, I shook my head. She was telling me not to get drunk, but she was the one who ended up drunk."Okay, I will wait for you outside the washroom."After hanging up, I made my way toward the washroom.After a few seconds, I saw Zack coming in my direction.I was dumbfounded. What was he doing in front of the girls' washroom?I tried
Zack's POVI was so mad at Flora that I wanted to break the door and enter the room. How dare she go in with a guy?I had seen her being drawn inside by a man's hand. Who could that be? If it was someone she did not know, why didn't she leave the room or scream for help? Why was she with him?I kept banging on the door. I groaned in anger when I found no response from inside.My heart was clenching with rage. I understood why she was doing this.She wanted my attention. She did not want me to be with her sister.But why was she pulling these ridiculous tricks?Did she not know it could harm the pack's Alpha's reputation?"How can I help, Sir?"I heard a desperate tone of a man. I turned to my side and saw the club's manager rush towards me."Where is the key to this cabin?" I inquired.The manager turned to look at the door. "This cabin's key..."I raised my brows, feeling impatient about what was going inside the private cabin."Give it to me right away if you want to keep your job,"
Flora's POVI could not keep myself from laughing at Zack. He had no idea who he was talking about.If King Aron had stepped out of the cabin tonight, or if Zack had gone inside and seen King Aron in the room, the scene would have been different than he had imagined.I recalled telling King Aron, "I will handle Zack. Don't worry, your majesty. I will not cause any trouble."His dark eyes were serene when he was staring at me with no words. His silence was literally killing me at the time. I had no idea how his men worked under him. It was said that they never spoke while looking into his eyes; their heads and eyes were always low in front of him."You think I can't? Do you want me to go back and check the surveillance like last time?"I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard Zack. Was I going to be involved in the same scandal? This time, King Aron was wearing no mask.I immediately thought about something and said something to distract his mind from this matter."Go and tell my dad a
I gulped when I turned my head and saw King Aron was sitting beside me. His eyes were sharp on me."I-I..."I paused when his eyes moved from my face and shifted to my feet. He frowned, which made me lower my head to look at my feet."Where is your other shoe?" he asked.Being seen with just one shoe on made me feel uncomfortable.I let out an awkward chuckle and mumbled,"Actually..."I slowly lifted my gaze and turned to the window. I whispered in a low voice. "Some boys were following me."I heard him scoffing as if I was lying. I quickly turned to face him and shook my head in response. "I swear."He nodded his head with a look of irritation. "If you roam around alone at this hour on an empty road, what do you expect? Your pack is not safe for women. Your father needs to work on it."I knew he was right. However, I believed my father had worked on it a lot. But some men were born to be shameless.The car turned silent.I kept my eyes on my feet and remained silent. Though I was ne
'Why would he look at me?' I thought, shaking my head.The car drove away from the pack house, passing through the steel gate when the guards opened it upon seeing the car leave.I sighed and turned around to approach the front gate.However, when I looked at the door, I was taken aback.Zack was standing by the door, his gaze fixed on me."Oh, crap! Did he see the king?"I started walking towards the door, ignoring his gaze. When I was about to step foot into the pack house, Zack asked,"Where have you been? Where is your other shoe?” His gaze shifted to my feet, and he looked at me in disgust.I looked down at my own feet. I was so caught up in thinking about the king that I forgot I was only wearing one heel. I was limping to the pack house with one heel!I took off the heel and tossed it to the side. The other pair had been lost, so it was no longer useful. I stepped forward to the door instead of answering his question.Zack grabbed my wrist and turned me around to face him.I gl
I was annoyed by the thought of causing such a disturbance to the king. I glared at Zack, saying,"If you dare to disturb the king, then why not?"Zack was taken by surprise. He had not expected me to say that. He might have expected me to beg him not to tell the king."What's happening here?"My father, Alpha Joshua, had just entered the packhouse and noticed what was going on.To enlighten him about everything, Alora rushed over and said,"Dad, Sister lost her mind. We found out who the mask—"I interrupted Alora and said, "Dad, Zack has been taking herbs and tonics from me for free."There was an unexpected silence in the pack house, which was exactly what I needed.Zack's eyes widened as he stared at me in shock. What did he think? I was kidding with him when I said I would tell my father about it?Alora shook her hand and tried to distract Dad. "No, Dad. Nothing is like what she is saying. She was just helping Zack's mom."My father's brows furrowed as he turned his head to Zack.
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
