The king's question caught me off guard. I immediately turned my head to look at him to deny the fact.However, when I turned my face, my nose brushed against his. For a brief moment, I found myself out of breath. The tip of his nose was cold, giving me goosebumps.I looked into his eyes with my wide eyes.The pair of dark eyes were mysterious. It was as if there were so many secrets hidden inside. It could be pleasant or painful, shocking or regrettable.I did not know how long I could keep looking at them, but I could not take my gaze away."Are you trying to find a new way to get close to me?"I was dumbfounded. A new way? When did I use a technique to get close to him? Everything was just a coincidence between us.Feeling that he was misunderstanding me, I immediately pushed him and moved away.Within a few seconds, I realized what I had done.I got up and turned around, then gasped. I slammed my palm against my mouth."Did I just push the Almighty king?" I muttered to myself."Wh
I stared at the closed door for a long time. The cold breeze touched my face as it blew inside the room through the window. It did not feel like how I felt when I was near the king, very close."What's wrong with me? Why do I start to feel like this toward him? Was it because he is the king?"I asked myself, trying to look for the answer.In the end, I could not reach a conclusion. I had no idea what he meant before leaving.Slowly getting up on my feet, I let out a deep breath.My legs deliberately moved toward the door. I opened the door and looked around, only to find an empty hallway.I walked out of the grand restaurant. When I got to the parking lot, I started to look for my father's car. But it seemed like his driver left after dropping me off.With a deep sigh, I hailed a taxi and headed back to the pack house.It took some time for me to get back to the pack house.As I entered the house, I saw a man sitting on the couch.I took a pause as I looked at him."Zack"He was drink
I managed to return to my bedroom while taking support from the railing and the wall.I could not move my right leg; I was limping.I did not know if I had broken a bone. What would I do then?The night was big, and I was waiting for dawn. The pain would not let me sleep. I was awake the whole night, waiting for the sun to rise so that I could go to the pack hospital for a check-up.I had no idea when my eyes closed. I opened my eyes as I heard a loud knock at the door."I fell asleep in pain," I muttered with a deep sigh.I tried to move my leg to get out of the bed. I was relieved when I found my right foot was not that heavy in pain like last night.I walked over to the door while limping and opened it.I saw my father standing there."Dad!"My father, Alpha Joshua, looked at me from head to toe."What happened to you, Flora? Why didn't you come down for breakfast?"His voice was soft and filled with worry. A sense of emotion blew into my mind. I was happy that my father was concer
I was dissatisfied. My father left the room after giving Zack a nod.As soon as he left, I glared at Zack. “I don't need your help.”Zack walked out of the room and came back with a maid.I frowned at him. “What are you doing? Where is Alora? Does she know you are here?”He scoffed at me and replied, “She is not at home. You don't need to think about her. Or do you want her to be here so that you can put the blame on her?"Did he think I was like her fiancée? It was her job to put everything on me, not mine.When he saw I was not responding to him, Zack turned to the maid and said,“She just woke up. Help her to get ready. I'm taking her to the hospital.”Zack then left the room. I glanced at the maid. She was one of Alora's maids."I don't need your help. I can do it myself."The maid crossed her arms and gave me a weird look. It was as if she was the daughter of the Alpha and I was her maid."Look, Flora. You lost your position, you know that. Now that Miss Alora is not home, you ar
Third POVFlora was stunned as soon as she heard Zack.'Your Majesty?'She slowly turned her head and saw the man of myth. He was wearing a royal blue tuxedo. His hands were inside his pockets. A long black coat was covering his shoulders, hiding his muscles inside.Flora's eyes slowly moved to his face, and she froze. He did not have a mask like he had on other times when he liked to wear one around the people of this pack.His handsome face was something any woman could look at forever without taking track of time.There was an intimidating aura emanating from him, which could deter the other woman from approaching him. However, his charms and authority were something anyone could die to reach for him.Flora gulped as she mumbled,"Y-Your Majesty..."King Aron did not respond to her, nor did he meet her gaze. It made her feel awkward.Flora recalled what Aron had told her before leaving the restaurant last night.She looked away from him, lowering her gaze."It's such a pleasure to
Zack was shocked hearing the curious question from the Alpha King. The king had never before shown interest in someone's personal matters. So, of course, it was quite surprising.Unknowingly, Zack stared at Flora. The answer could not come out of his mouth. It was as if he did not want to say no.Flora's eyes widened as she shook her head at the king."No, no. I am not his girlfriend."She tried to get down, but Zack tightened his grip even more. He was angry at her behavior. She behaved like being his girlfriend was a curse or disownment."Put me down, Zack," Flora said and gritted in pain.Zack looked at her sharply and muttered,"Stop acting like I am forcing you, Flora. Stop creating a scene in front of the king."Flora glared at him, pushing his chest. "If you don't put me down, I will scream in front of the king."Zack clenched his jaw and put her down.The moment Flora's slippers touched the floor, she felt pain in her ankle. She shut her eyes, trying not to let out a moan of p
Zack was stressed out while he was in the car. Alora kept calling him, telling him to save her.He wondered who had the audacity to stop the Alpha's daughter like that. According to how Alora explained it to him, no one was hurt inside the car."I am coming, hold on," Zack said to Alora.Alora spoke as if she was being held captive by some men.Zack rubbed his forehead in frustration.Alora did not have any driving license. Why did she even try in such a bustling city? There were so many people on the road. What if she hurt someone?'He is Alpha's daughter. There is no way Alpha Joshua would let his daughter suffer,' he thought.Soon, he arrived at the location where Alora had sent him.He got out of the car and dashed toward Alora. She was crying as some men gathered around her.Zack got mad at the men. Were they brave enough to touch her? Did they even know who she was?When the men noticed him, they moved back to let him see Alora.Alora's eyes lit up. She rushed over to Zack and h
Zack's eyes widened in shock. Alora, on the other hand, felt her heartbeat slow in fright. She was startled."K-King Aron’s car?"Her gaze shifted to the car, which she had damaged. She never expected anything like that to happen when she started her car.She clearly remembered how to press the brake on time. She had no idea how her car had come into contact with her own. Now that it was the Alpha King's car, no one would believe her.Her lips started to shake just like her knees. She bit her bottom lip, nearly bleeding from fear.The young man was none other than Beta Joy, the Alpha King Aron's beta.Anyone looking at him from a distance could tell he was powerful. The men around them were all bodyguards of the king. Because the king did not want to draw attention in this pack, he sent them away.Zack felt a drop of sweat on his forehead. Just before coming here, he had gotten the opportunity to meet the Alpha King. It was his lucky day that the king talked to him.King Aron was more
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
"What do you mean?"My father's angry voice echoed throughout the study room.I took a deep breath and answered,"He is a coward. He abandoned me in a place full of strangers. He did not care about my dignity.""Are you talking about that night with the king?"I was surprised when I heard him. "Are you aware of it? But you still want me to marry that guy?"My father stood up and said,"Look, he was not willing to leave. In front of him was the king. Who would dare to offend the king? By the way, everyone knows the king does not have any interest in a girl with no origin. If it were Alora, he might think before leaving."Tears rolled down my face. I never expected him to bring it up again.Once again, he reminded me that I was an orphan and he had adopted me. Otherwise, I had no background."Dad, I will not marry him."After saying that, I made my way to the door. My father became enraged by my decision. He spoke up from behind."No one will be worse off than me if you dare to refuse m
I knocked on the door of my father's study room. He might be busy at work. I was afraid that I would disturb his work. But I came here for an important reason. I would never marry Alpha William. I did not want to."Come in."I opened the door and stepped into the study room. I noticed my father sitting on the couch with the four officials.My gaze landed on Zack. He appeared surprised when he saw me. I noticed him frowning at the clutch I was holding as support.He seemed unaware that he had broken my leg. How would he? He was busy with his so-called Alora.I looked away from him and focused on my father."Dad"My father, Alpha Joshua, stood up from the couch and approached me. He held my hand and helped me to sit on a single couch."My dear, why didn't you call some maids to help you get here?" my father asked.I lowered my head, feeling nervous. I was upset while thinking,'Does he care about me only because of the marriage agreement with Alpha William?’I inhaled deeply while bitin
