Chapter 2

I returned home but I only met an empty house,

"What about Mom and Dad?" I asked Helen my personal maid after I found my way into the house.

"Madame and Master went to the party first" Helen replied without looking at me.

Oh? It has actually gotten to the extent where they leave me and go to a party, This is the first time this is happening.

Well, I'm not surprised. I know things like this will continue to happe

"What's the matter? Shouldn't we also prepare for the party?" I asked her as she didn't make any move.

"Madame and Master said you are not allowed to go to the party or leave the house after you return" Helen replied.

"What?! Wait?! I thought they just found their biological daughter so do they plan to make me a ghost!?" 

"Miss don't say that! There are people around" Helen hurried covered my mouth to prevent from saying more.

In return I bit her palm, "I am very angry right now and no matter what?! I'm going to that party!" I swore and dragged her to the room.

"Miss we can't do this" Helen hesitated.

"Don't worry, If I get caught I will never implicate you and I will take all the blame." I assured her patting her shoulder.

"But still..."

"Helen, If I ever have an opportunity to leave this place will you go with me?" I asked.

"Miss, What do you mean?! This place is your home and you are always welcomed" She asked with worried eyes.

"I don't think it's the same as before, I'm like a thorn in everyone's eyes now. No one wants me here, my value has been used up" I sighed slightly.

"But even so? You have Alpha Maxwell! Today will also be his coronation as an Alpha King, you've loved him for so long he will definitely stand by your side" Helen tried to convince me but I only laughed at how naive she is.

"Which Alpha does not go with his Mate on Coronation day?" I asked her in return.

"Do you mean?!... Miss! I will help you get dressed " Her face changed from confusion to realization.

This time around she is the one that dragged me to the my dressing table.

"Miss you are the prettiest lady so why can't the prettiest lady go to the party" She spoke as she styled my hair and applied my makeup.

After she was done she went to the wardrobe to find a perfect dress.

"You have to steal the occasion today, don't let them see how fragile you are" Helene brought a bright red dress.

"You know, Red is not allowed on Coronation days" I reminded her with a smile on my lips.

"That's true! I will change the dress" She turned to return it.

"No need, Let's go with it. After all I'm wolfless and breaking a few rules is not annoying" I giggled excited of what might happen.

"But... You might he expelled from the pack if that happens" She looked worried.

"Then so be it" I muttered.

"Anyway I like that dress the most" I said as she returned it to my side.

After dressing I looked at myself, and I realized that if will be a loss for anybody to not fall in love with me.

Like! Who wouldn't love such a beautiful and elegant girl.

"Miss, We are fine preparing you but now how do you escape?" Helen brought me back to reality.

"I will jump. We have ladder hidden in the basement, maybe you can bring it over" I said to her.

"I will be right back miss. You can go over there and hide first" She nodded and ran back while pulling her gown with her.

I sneaked around and found my way to the back avoiding all the guards that were stationed. 

It wasn't long since I stood there before I saw Helen running towards my side with the Ladder.

"Omg! This looks heavy, How did you carry it?" I asked her as I helped her station it close to the high wall.

"It's not heavy at all" She smiled at me while wiping the sweat out of her forehead.

"Thank you. And if I leave here in a good way, I will definitely take you with me. If it's in a bad way, I will let someone I trust take you and treat you well" I assured her.

"I will go wherever you go" She smiled.

"Who is there?!" A deep voice came from the side.

"Miss! Climb! climb!" She urged me.

"It's me Helene! Don't come over I'm indecent at the moment!" She screamed in a panicked voice.

"Miss hurry up and climb!" Helene whispered.

"Take care until I return" I gave her a quick hug and climbed up the ladder while she held on tightly.

Reaching to the top, I closed my eyes and jumped down from the height.

But unexpectedly, I didn't feel the pain and it felt as if I fell on a human pad that I fell on.

"Won't you get up?" A cold and unfamiliar voice sounded under me.

I really fell on someone

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I stood and bowed while apologizing.

"I will compensate you later but just take the apology for now" I bowed one last time and ran away.

But before I left, I saw someone walking up to the unknown man in huge strides.

Fortunately, The Palace wasn't far from home. It didn't take long before I reached.

.I stopped at a distance and straightened my hair, taking deep breathe.

Unfortunately I don't have a mirror, But still I patted my face, straightened my dress before taking a step forward like the perfect lady I've been trained to be.

I know I look confident from the outside, but my heart just won't stop beating.

If there is anything that I want, I want my fiance to be different.

I hoped he still cared and loved me, and it was all just a misunderstanding. Because right now he is the only one I can turn to.

Entering the party, I don't know how Mr. And Mrs. Erlod saw me, but they walked up to me in huge strides.

But that wasn't all, At this Moment my hope and love all got shattered.

He never looked at me like that...

"What are you doing here?!" Mr. Erlod asked me but I only looked at a place with a self defeating smile.

"Is she the one?" I asked slowly.

"What are you talking about?"

"The girl with my Mate! Is she your biological daughter?" I asked again with tears in my eyes.

I knew that others were already looking at us.

"Layla! Don't cause trouble!" Mom held my hand but I broke free from her and walked over to Maxwell and Nora.

"Maxwell, It's your Coronation as Alpha. Don't you think it's strange to come here we the a lady that is not me?" I asked him although I could guess the truth but I just wanted him to deny it.

"You must be Layla, I'm Nora. Mom and Dad told me a lot about you" I turned to the girl who wore white clothes looking like a pure and unstained angel.

But for some reason, I don't like her! I just don't!

"You weren't told that he has a fiancee?" I Asked her.

"About that..."

"Layla!!" Maxwell called my name coldly.

"Nora has nothing to do with this!" He defended her.

"I am your Mate!"

"Not anymore!!" He looked at me with Hatred and Anger like I'm some sort of enemy

"What?!" My eyes widener at his words.

"Max don't do it!" Nora pulled at him.

"Go on! I'm all ears! SPILL IT OUT!!"
