Never Again!

Aarhea's Point of View:"Where are you going, Aarhea? You need to rest first!" Amara shouted when I went out of the Infirmary. I looked back at her. I saw her worried face, her angelic face that you would never thought that inside that physical look, she had a devil inside! I walked fast as far as I could. I needed to know what was happening, why I went back two years ago! As I looked at the mirror inside the infirmary a while ago, I noticed that my look was the same as I had looked two years ago. My physical body, my hair, and even my face! I grabbed my phone inside my bag and looked at the name of our personal driver, Mr. Johnson!I dialed his number, and after three rings, he answered it, so I asked, "Where are you?""At the parking lot, Princess Aarhea," he replied. I stopped my call and immediately went to the parking lot. When I saw our car, I noticed Mr. Johnson standing in front, and his face was serious; that seemed he already knew I needed to talk to him. "Explain to me

"Are you certain about that, Aarhea?" Amara asked, stammering, and I knew she was suspicious of what I said.I looked at her, "Do I like I am joking, Amara?" I replied. He frowned, "He doesn't deserve to be your mate, Aarhea! He's weak, wolfless, and we don't know where he came from!" I know what she was talking about, Jake's identity. "And then? Who do you think should be my mate?" I asked her. "Here, Logan! He is perfect for you! Handsome and came from a beta family. He trained to become a strong warrior to protect you and the Crimson Pack!" she replied. I raised an eyebrow because he said, "I observe you pushing Logan on me, Amara. Why is that?" I asked again. She gulped, "I am not pushing him on you, Aarhea. I just...I just concerned about you and the Crimson!" she replied. "If Jake will be your mate and then will be your husband, the Crimson will fall! He can't manage to run the Pack, and maybe, some of the packs in the country will try to attack us!" she explained. I tilt

"Meeting adjourn!" I announced, after our meeting, about the records of Crimson Pack in the leadership of Roman. The elders stood up from their seats, and they bowed their heads before leaving the conference room. "What is the cause of the sudden decision, Princess Aarhea?" while I was looking at the reports, Roman suddenly asked a serious question. I looked at him, "According to the rule, I can take the throne if I find my mate," I answered, reminding him. He tilted his head, "But, you are not capable of taking the responsibilities at this time, Princess Aarhea. If you rule the pack, there are tendencies that it will fall!" he gave his opinion. I frowned because of what he told me. Is he still brave enough to say that to me?After graduation, I trained to be the next Alpha of the Crimson Pack. They taught me how to handle a pack like the different bureaus in finance, defense and order, agriculture, and health. They also taught me some basic self-defense. So, if they thought

"Are you sure you will do that tonight, Your Highness?" Jake asked me as I prepared for the grand celebration tonight. "I have to do it, Jake. I won't let the members of the Crimson Pack be fooled! I won't let the Pack slowly fall!" "If that's what you want, I will support you, Your Highness," he assured me. I nodded and smiled while looking at him in the mirror. Seven in the evening, Jake and I went out of the palace together. I wore a red phoenix gown representing my new life, from death to life. At the same time, Jake wore a suit that fits his muscular body. As I looked at Jake, I felt as if something was changing in him. His nerdy looks made him unique to me. "Do you have a problem with what I wear, Your Highness?" Jake suddenly asked me. "None. Why did you ask?" I asked, wondering why he asked me like that. "You are smiling at me, Your Highness. Is there something wrong with me? On my dress? On my face?" he answered and asked again. I gulped, "No. I- I just noticed

"From now on, call me by my first name," I told Jake while going to school, looking out the car window. "But...""No buts. Just follow what I said.""Okay. I understand," he replied. I sighed and closed my eyes. If he calls me "Your Highness" or "Princess", they might suspect we are both pretending. Two days have passed since the Grand Celebration ended. The announcement and my imprisonment of Elder Lukas became a topic of discussion in the whole pack. Many were surprised at the news that Elder Lukas could do such a thing to the Crimson Pack, but all evidence pointed to him. I was also surprised by what I found out. I know that Elder Lukas was one of Dad's confidants, so it's a big question to me why Elder Lukas did that thing. "Hold my hand," I ordered Jake when we got to the University. Jake looked at me with hesitation on his face. "If you don't hold me, what will they tell us?" I questioned him to make him realize what I said. He nodded before grabbing my hand. I f
