I was mesmerized by how he was taking care of me. He knew he could not wander the hospital since he was the king, and it would only give people a chance to start gossiping, so he told the doctor to let the nurses accompany me.Not just any ordinary nurse, but nurses assigned to assist the doctor. The doctor's reaction made me wonder if he was a big doctor.Doctor Ken nodded his head. "I am sending them right now, Your Majesty." He then left the cabin.I cast a glance at King Aron. He remained calm, but his gaze was fixed on my right leg.I felt a burn in my leg as if his gaze was so intense that it was affecting me."I could go by myself," I murmured, although I knew it would be tough for me.He grabbed a stool near the bed and sat down. I gulped, recalling the day when I woke up in the Water Garden Villa."How is your day going at the pack house?"I raised my head and looked at him. He was also looking at me.His eyes were serene but dark. Despite knowing that I could not read them,
I felt a chill go through me. The air around me seemed to freeze as I stared at the man. He was mysterious, but also dangerous. His eyes had the power to burn anything with his gaze if he wanted to destroy.The thoughts of him killing the people and demolishing the pack made me feel sick.The blood, the war, the cries—everything was something I never wanted to witness.King Aron turned his head to look at me. When his eyes locked with mine, I saw the smirk fade from his face.I blinked and lowered my head. Was I more afraid of him?But his voice was not cold, but rather softer than I expected. It arrived and made its way to my ears smoothly."Girl, you are too young to know who your people and enemies are. Always rely on your brain rather than your heart. Keep your eyes open."I lifted my gaze to meet his eyes again. I nodded my head when I noticed his eyes were calm."Thank you for helping me, Your Majesty."He did not respond as if he was looking through me, attempting to read my th
One of the nurses patted my shoulder. "Did you think he was waiting for you here? You may be important, but he is the King."I looked at the empty stool where Aron had been sitting before I left the room.'Did I really expect him to be here with me?'Doctor Ken soon entered the room to review my report. He pinned the x-ray report to a whiteboard and lit it up to show me the result.After circling the back of the ankle with his fingers, Dr. Ken said,“This is where one of your bones cracked. A plaster is necessary.”I was taken aback. "Doctor, will I not be able to walk properly again?"He gave me a surprised look before shaking his head. I was startled. I assumed he was saying I was correct; I would never be able to walk properly again; perhaps I could walk with a limp."Doctor, please do something."He let out a chuckle. I looked at him in confusion.“Please, just relax. You can walk again. But your leg needs some time. You will need plaster for at least four weeks.”I rubbed my fore
"Thank you so much."I said to Doctor Ken, who came outside to assist me in getting into a taxi. I told him many times that he did not have to do it and that I could go alone. However, he kept referring to me as the king's people, saying he did not want to disappoint him.After getting into the taxi, I took a look at the clutch beside me. I did not know how long I would have to use it. Doctor Ken told me that I would be fine in one month. But still, I was afraid of it.The taxi came to a halt in front of the pack house. I paid the taxi driver and got out using the clutch.I applied all of the pressure to my left leg while holding the crutch beneath my arm. I had to limp my way toward the pack house.The guards looked at me with surprise. One of them questioned me."What happened to you?"I looked at the guard with a frown. "Didn't you notice how I was in pain when I left the pack house?"The guard seemed taken aback. He might have had a different thought when he saw Zack carrying me o
"What video?"I asked Kayla as I was startled. Did anyone record any videos of the king helping me in the hospital?If they did, how could he dismiss the rumors? He was last seen with me while wearing a mask, and no one knew he was the king. What if I caused his reputation to be damaged here?After all, I was not even the real daughter of an Alpha. I was adopted, a girl who had no idea who her parents were."What's wrong? Why are you looking pale after hearing about another video?" Kayla questioned me suspiciously.I shook my head. "Nothing. I just want to know."Kayla furrowed her brows. "Babe, are you hiding something from me? You are free to share anything with me. I am your best friend."I took a deep breath and decided to tell her everything.Her expression changed when she learned that the king had helped me again."Flora, you can't think it's just a coincidence, can you? You both kept bumping each other without any plan. Or..."I looked at her with interest. "Or what?"I was ho
"No!"I shook my head many times. I could not fall for the king.“Kayla, you have asked that question before. I am going to tell you again. There is nothing like that.”Kayla did not talk about that matter again. But I noticed doubts in her eyes.I could not help but sigh. All of my interactions with King Aron came to mind. I bit my bottom lip as I remembered how he asked me to go to him if I needed help.After spending some time, Kayla left the pack house. I lay down on my bed, staring at the ceiling."His arm is wounded. Who dared to attack the king?" I murmured.I was deep in thought when my bedroom door opened.When I turned my head, I saw my father, Alpha Joshua.I tried to sit up quickly, but hissed in pain. I nearly forgot my right leg was bandaged."I heard you got your leg bandaged," My father said, coming over to the bed.He helped me sit up and took a seat on the edge of the bed. He rubbed my hair and uttered,"When will your bandage be taken off?""One month, Dad," I repli
I could not believe what she was saying. Why would Alpha William like me or want to marry me?I pushed her with all of my strength. Why was I so vulnerable? I did not have my wolf's strength like hers.The push caused Alora to move from the bed. She held a wall and leaned her back against it.She chuckled when she saw my shocked expression."What? Don't you already know about it? You have been planning this for a long time."I frowned at her. "When did I plan? What are you talking about?"She folded her arms against her chest and replied,"At first, I thought letting you go was not a good idea. I won't lie. I was envious when I heard Alpha William, our pack's wealthiest Alpha, wanted you for himself. Though I am with Zack now, that doesn't mean I would let you be with any Alpha. I believe you should marry another orphan like yourself who will not hold a high rank."Tears could not stop flowing down my face as I stared at her. She had a deep-seated hatred for me. Why? Just because his
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
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
