LOGINKai POVI carried Zaria in my arms and took her straight to my room. She was still weak, but that did not stop her from struggling against me. The moment I placed her gently on the bed, she tried to grab my hand and pull me back.I stepped away before she could hold me."Listen to me," I said in a calm voice. "If you keep acting stubborn, I will never let you leave this room. So stay still and rest."She glared at me with angry eyes. Even though she looked pale and tired, there was still fire inside her."How many days do you expect me to stay hidden in your house, I need to go to school and you know that?" she asked.Her voice sounded weak, but I could hear the frustration in it, I moved closer to her and gently lifted her chin so she would look at me, she looked so pretty that I could imagine "You are still injured," I said softly. "You need time to recover. I cannot let you leave while you are like this."Her brows tightened immediately she faced me like she was about to pickup a
Zaria’s POVMy head felt like it was splitting open.Everything was blurry when I first opened my eyes. White ceiling. Soft light. The smell of herbs and something clean… too clean.My body felt heavy when I tried to move, like something had drained every strength I had left. My fingers barely responded when I lifted them slightly."Where am I?" A small sound escaped my lips, that’s when I realized I wasn’t aloneMachines beeped softly beside me. A drip line was attached to my hand. It turned out to be hospital but doesn't looked like general hospital. I forced myself up again, slower this time. My vision cleared little by little.And that’s when I saw it.The room was large. Elegant. Nothing like the dirty places I was used to. White and gold details. Glass windows covered with heavy curtains. Guards standing outside the door like statues.My breath caught, when I noticed I was in the palace. "Why am I in the palace?." I asked no one in particular. The memory hit me slowly at first
Kai’s POVThe road stretched endlessly ahead as I drove, but I barely saw it.Everything in my mind was still stuck in the forest.Zaria in the back seat was unconscious, wrapped in my jacket. Her body barely moved, only faint breathing proving she was still alive. Too still… after everything she had just done.My grip on the steering wheel tightened as I replayed it again.Gold fur. Golden eyes. That pressure in the air that made even my wolf react.A Gold Lycan.I exhaled slowly, forcing my mind to stay controlled, but it didn’t help. My wolf was still restless inside me, reacting to her even now, as if it couldn’t separate her from what she had become.That alone annoyed me,I don’t like confusion. I don’t like unanswered things and Zaria was becoming nothing but that.The palace gates finally came into view.Guards rushed forward as I stopped the car, but I didn’t give them a chance to speak. I opened the back door and lifted her into my arms immediately.She was lighter than I exp
Selena POVThe car stopped in front of the palace gates with a soft sound. The night was already deep, and the cold air made everything feel quiet and tense. The guards quickly opened the door for me.I stepped out without looking at anyone.My face was hard, and my mood was worse.The drive back had done nothing to calm me. Instead, my thoughts were louder now. My mind kept going back to what I saw in the forest.Zaria, the Gold Lycan how was that even possible., that single thought kept repeating in my head.A guard followed behind me quickly.“Princess, you forgot your phone,” he said carefully.I stopped walking immediately, slowly, I turned back to him.My eyes were cold.Without saying a word, I raised my hand and slapped him hard across the face.The sound echoed in the quiet night, He staggered back in shock.“Don’t you know where to put it?” I said sharply.My voice was full of anger, he lowered his head quickly.“I’m sorry, Princess,” he said quietly.I snatched the phone from h
Author’s POVThe black car moved fast along the lonely road. Tall trees covered both sides, and the deeper the car went into the forest, the darker the path became. The sound of insects filled the air while dry leaves moved under the tires.Inside the car, Zaria was weak.Her hands were shaking badly, and her head hurt from the drug they forced into her body. She tried to open her eyes properly, but everything looked blurry.The two boys sitting beside her laughed quietly."She can’t even move anymore," one of them mocked."Good. It will make things easier," the second boy replied.Zaria heard them, but her body felt too heavy to react.The car finally stopped in the middle of the forest, one of the boys stepped out first and looked around carefully."Nobody is here," he said, the second boy dragged Zaria out of the car roughly, she fell hard on the cold ground."Please… leave me alone," Zaria cried weakly, but her voice was too soft.Nobody could hear her, the boys pulled her up again
Zaria POV. He sat beside me quietly. I could still feel my wolf growing weaker inside me, but I did not want him to know that. My body felt heavy, and even breathing hurt a little. The hospital room was silent except for the sound of the machine beside my bed.He looked at me for a long moment before speaking.“Don’t you feel anything?” he asked softly.I looked away from him. I did not know if he could sense how weak my wolf had become. Maybe he already knew. Maybe that was why he kept staring at me like that.But I still stayed silent, I did not trust him enough to tell him the truth.“Tell me, don’t you—”Before he could finish speaking, his phone suddenly rang, he frowned and quickly brought the phone out of his pocket.“Hello?” he said.He listened for a few seconds, then his expression changed.“Yes. Okay. I’ll be right there now.”He ended the call and slowly turned back to me.For a few seconds, he said nothing, then he reached into his pocket again and brought out something smal
Zaria POV The road was dark as I ran out of the building. I stopped after a while and laughed loudly. The way those men chased after me was so funny. Still, they could not catch me. I was faster than all of them.I wrapped my arms around myself as the cold night wind brushed against my skin. My he
Zaria’s POV“Madam, are you awake?”The voice reached me like a distant echo in my half-conscious mind. My eyelids fluttered open, and I saw a lady standing right in front of me. She looked like someone who worked in a palace—her uniform neat, her movements careful, like she had been trained to ser
Zaria’s POV I had just closed from work when my phone rang. I was tired, and all I wanted was to go home, eat, and sleep. I almost ignored the call, but something made me pick it up.“Did you forget the order?” a voice said from the other end. I looked back at my phone. The number was unknown. Th
