Nora: Rejected Lost Princess You Are The Cause Of The War
Nora's POV With her eyes glistening with tears, mother ran into the study, pulling me into a tight hug that I felt my breath being cut off. Too weak to do a thing, I just stood there as she continued to squash me in a bear hug while muttering some words in my ears. When she finally pulled away from me, I attempted to wipe the tears off her face but she grabbed my hand mid air. “I'm sorry Nora, please forgive me.” She said, tears rolling down her eyes in torrents. “Come on mom, it's fine.” I flashed her a smile, rubbing her palm to soothe her. “That's not the case Nora.” Wiping her eyes with the back of her palm, she took in a deep breath. “I allowed Karen to mislead me. I was a toy in his game and he made sure to sway me with different talks to get what he needed.” Mother went on and on to talk of how Karen had used her but I didn't judge her a bit. If I was in her place, I would have done the same.

Unable to hold back anymore, I charge towards the door, crushing it to the ground with my wolf strength and revealing my attraction. It was a shining orb. It looked so small but it had so much strength that had kept pulling me in and had eventually caused me to push the door down. Still standing there and admiring it, mother made her way to my side with her hand still folded on her chest. “Are you certain you are ready for this?” She asked, eliciting a low grunt from me. My initial request was a confirmation of Karen's story but she brought me here instead, piquing my interest.There was no going back now or anytime soon. Until I found out what is in that orb or what it signified, I wasn't going to leave. “Since you're curious, it wouldn't

A faint mysterious voice called out as a beautiful woman appeared, making Nora gasp.Radiating with excitement and so much energy, Princess Esmeralda who was in her thirties was running around the garden, the smile on her face neatly stamped on it.

It didn't take long for her to locate the cave which was his abode and immediately she got in, she stepped backwards with her hands around her mouth. Lying at her feet was her mate who looked so battered and weak. It seemed like he had been beaten up mercilessly by the pack soldiers. Falling on her knees, Princess Esmeralda tried to make him sit up but the groans which erupted from his lips terrified her so much that she had to give up trying. Still contemplating on what to do, she began to look around the place but it was shabby. “Draco.” She called, leaning over him with a loving look on her face. Tracing his face with her fingers, she went ahead to say, “I have escaped from my kingdom.”Surprised, he mustered all of his energy to sit up and with a look of worry on his face, he asked, “Why? Why will you do that Esmeralda?” “My father wouldn't let me get mated to yo

Nora's POVAt the end of the revelation, the orb shone more brightly, causing me to step backwards and fall on my behind as I shielded my eyes with the back of my palm. “Finally.” I muttered, pushing my hand into my hair as I let out a grateful sigh. I was back in the room where the orb was placed. For a moment, I remained in my position with my teeth holding my lips as I darted my eyes around.“Karen didn't even tell me the whole story.” I muttered.

As if that was not enough, Carlos was wheeled forward and immediately I let out a loud laughter filled with anger and regret. “I should have killed you when I had the chance.” I yelled, baring my canines at him. With my hand stuck in my hair, I sent my teeth into my lips, biting it with no mercy as anger ran through my veins. If only I had remembered that Carlos had an alliance with the members of the Blue Lycan Kingdom, I wouldn't have left a breath in him. Now, there was no use crying over spilled milk. It's time to restrategize and come up with the perfect solution.

Nora: Rejected Lost Princess You Are Like Me
NORA'S POVI gasped as I looked at their faces. They appeared human at first glance, but something was off about their skin. It was too pale, their features too perfect. And their eyes... their eyes were just like mine.Each of them had those strange volcanic eyes I had seen in my own reflection. It was amber irises with touches of gold and red that seemed to glow from within, even in human form. I'd always thought my eyes were unique, strange. Now I was surrounded by people who shared this trait."You're like me," I whispered, the realization hitting me like a blow.The tallest of them stepped forward. Unlike the others who wore identical black robes, his was trimmed with silver symbols. His face was ageless. He could have been twenty or one hundred with high cheekbones and a strong jaw."We are the Ancients," he said, his voice the same one that had commanded me to enter. "And you, Nora, are one of us. Or at least, partly."My
Nora: Rejected Lost Princess Captured
Nora's POVMy heartbeat was faster, my mind wondering what was about to happen next. Even from afar, I could feel her hurt. I could understand her hurting, yet I was the one she intended to kill. The world came back to me in pieces. First sound, then feeling, then sight. I heard her voice, Sorceress Elena, cold with fury. She was going to take revenge, for Elara, her daughter.Who almost killed me. "Starting with these children." Her voice cut through my thoughts.My eyes flew open. Through the haze of pain still in my head, I saw Elena moving toward the building entrance where my kids were trapped in prison. Her hands were filled with dark energy, her face squeezed with grief and rage."No!" I screamed, pushing away from Carlos with strength I didn't know I had. My children. She was going to kill my children.Elena turned, her hair whipping around her face, her eyes glowing with power. "You've taken my daug

THIRD POVNora walked away from them, her mind spinning with the sorceress's demand. Give herself up to save her children? The choice seemed both impossible and inevitable. She wandered through the trees, needing space to breathe, and to think.She found a fallen log a short distance from the cave entrance and sank down onto it. The forest around her was very quiet, as if even the birds and insects sensed the dark magic nearby. Her hands trembled as she pressed them against her face, trying to hold back tears."They're discussing whether your life is worth saving the twins," a soft voice said from behind her.Nora looked up to find Elara standing there, her face partially shadowed by the trees."Elara," Nora said, quickly wiping her eyes. "I didn't hear you approach.""I move quietly," Elara replied with a slight smile. "It's a useful skill for a lady's maid."Nora nodded absently, her thoughts still with her children. "

THIRD POVElder Silvarum continued to talk about the sorceress and her relationship with Carlos and the twins, after everyone had slowly recovered from the shock. "The sorceress has powerful magic, but I believe we can track her.""How?" Griffin pushed off from the wall, suddenly interested."With blood," the elder replied simply. He turned to Carlos. "Alpha, although I don't possess sorcerer abilities myself, my bloodline carries ancient knowledge. And your blood will be the compass.""Whatever it takes to get my children back." "I can perform the tracking spell. I've done similar workings before," Katherine offered. "It's dangerous," Elder Silvarum warned. "The sorceress will have safeguards.""I don't care," Katherine replied dismissively. "Those are my niece's cubs."Carlos rolled up his sleeve and extended his arm. "Take what you need."Katherine glanced at Elder Silvarum, who nodded an

THIRD POV Two hours later, they gathered in the twins' bedroom. Nora had laid out their favorite possessions: Zack's toy sword, Zoe's stuffed wolf, their hair brushes still containing strands of dark hair. Her hands trembled as she arranged the items in the circle Kathryn had drawn on the floor."This should be enough," Kathryn said, kneeling beside the circle. She looked exhausted, dark circles prominent beneath her eyes. "But I need to warn you all. My powers have limits. Especially against someone like the sorceress.""Just try," Nora whispered.Griffin stood back near the doorway, watching the proceedings with a heavy heart. He knew better than anyone what the sorceress was capable of. The years he'd spent in her thrall had shown him the depths of her cruelty, and her power.Kathryn began to chant, her hands moving in intricate patterns above the circle. The air in the room grew heavy with magic, pressing against their skin like

As the fight became even more fierce, she struggled to keep watch over the kids.Not until, she smelled them and the danger around. Nora looked up sharply, her gaze fixed on two Ancients emerging, dragging small, struggling forms between them. Her blood ran cold as she recognized Zack and Zoe, their faces pale with terror as they fought against their captors' grip."Mom! Dad!" Zack shouted, his voice filled with fear."Let them go!" Nora screamed, light flaring around so fiercely that several nearby wolves whimpered and backed away. How dare these people touch her babies!As her anger filled the air, Nora heard the evil laughter of the sorceress. "Now, that's interesting. You've grown stronger than I anticipated. Perhaps those meddling fools didn't suppress your power as thoroughly as they thought."

Griffin Her questions were becoming annoying. I wished I could just ignore it. That perhaps you hope to earn her gratitude. Her affection." Kathryn's voice was gentle but firm. "If so, you should know it's unlikely. She loves Carlos, whatever problems they may have." "I'm not a fool," I snapped, then immediately regretted my tone. "I know she loves him. I'm not doing this to win her over." "Then why?" I stared at the floor, struggling to articulate what drove me. "Because I failed her once before. I won't make that mistake again." Kathryn seemed satisfied with this answer. "Very well. I'll need time to prepare properly." I rose to leave, but paused at the door. "Kathryn... thank you." She shook her head. "Don't thank me yet. This may kill you more quickly than the sorceress's curse. Plus, I'm not assuring you that it is going to work." "At least it will be my choice," I said quietly. "For once." As I left the room, I felt the hunger gnawing at me again, stronger
Nora: Rejected Lost Princess Are You Doing It For Her?
GRIFFIN POVI felt it the moment it happened—a pulse of energy so distinct it nearly knocked me off my feet. I steadied myself against a tree, drawing in a sharp breath as recognition dawned.Nora had connected with her wolf.After all these years, after everything that had happened. She had found Reika again. Although it was a good thing, the implications were staggering—and terrifying. Those hungry powerful beings probably felt it too and their quest for Nora's blood would intensify. "Damn it," I muttered, pushing away from the tree and striding toward the pack house. Elder Silvarum needed to know immediately. Carlos too, though I doubted he'd take the news well.I'd barely made it halfway across the grounds when the first wave of pain hit. It started as a burning in my chest, then spread outward like wildfire through my veins. I stumbled, falling to my knees as my vision blurred."Griffin."The voice echoed in my mind, sickeningly familiar. The sorceress. My mistress. My curse."
Nora: Rejected Lost Princess No Wolf
NORA POVThe next one week flew by very peacefully. More peaceful than I ever expected. "Focus, Nora," Kathryn instructed, circling me as I struggled to maintain the small flame hovering above my palm. "You're letting your wolf nature interfere again."I gritted my teeth. "I don't have a wolf nature. That's the problem."Kathryn exchanged a glance with Elara, that same look they always shared when they thought I wasn't paying attention. It was infuriating."Your lycan blood is still part of you," she said carefully. "Even if you do not have a wolf. She looked down, busying herself with arranging crystals on the floor around me. I'd touched a nerve, I was sure of it."Whatever the case," Kathryn continued smoothly, "you need to separate your magical energy from your lycan energy. They conflict with each other."I'd been trying for days without success. The moment I called forth fire or water, I felt a resistance within me, as if something was fighting against the magic. My head would
