Nora: Rejected Lost Princess ย ย ย You Tried To Make Him Jealous
Nora's POVThese days I have been stressing too much as nothing seems to be going well for me. The news continued to spread like a wildfire without control and it wouldn't be long before I would be summoned to face the elders again.Lying on my bed with my gaze fixed on the ceiling, I bit my bottom lips in a bid to stifle the scream that was about to erupt through them.โWhen are all these going to end?โ I muttered, shutting my eyes tightly.Grasping the sheets, I continued digging my teeth into my lips until I drew out blood. Now sitting on the edge of my bed, I buried my head in my palm only to start tugging my hair as anger mixed with frustration racked through me. โNora! Are you okay?โ George's voice rang in my head, causing me to snap my head up and at once I locked eyes with him. With his hands folded in front of him, he began to walk cautiously towards me. โI can only imagine what is going on in your head right now.โ Holding my shoulder, he said, โAre you alright?โ โNot a

Uncle Damonโs POV Finally, the long awaited war was here. This was the time I was waiting for to unleash my plans and this time around I'm going to succeed with this. Having succeeded in pairing Karen with Nora, I have no doubts that my plan was going to click and it was going to follow that sequence until I ascended the throne. Pacing about my living room, I had my hands strapped across my chest as a smile played on my lips. โYour hardwork and resilience is gradually paying off.โ Elder Richard said, eliciting a nod from me. With my gaze now fixated on him, I slowly lowered myself on the couch, leaning towards him with a smirk dancing on my lips. โThanks to you, things are falling into place. I never expected Elder Tyler to show his support.โ I laughed, clicking my tongue. โYou can say that again. I was genuinely surprised when he attacked Nora. I had no idea that he would do something of that sort.โ He chuckled. After a few minutes of silence, he clasped his hands and with h

Carlos' POVThis was a dream come through and I doubt if I was going to forget this in a hurry. Each time I think of it, I can't help but thank the moon goddess for making me cross paths with Damon. Now, it wasn't as if I wasn't going to find my way out of the pack even if it was going to take a lot of time and maybe I might not succeed. Smirking, I crossed my hands on my chest, staring into space with a look of satisfaction on my face. Justin was yet to join us from Lycan Kingdom even after three weeks of our successful escape. I sighed at the rate my plans were moving swiftly. I was grateful Justin had a change of heart and decided to help me out.Nora on the other hand kept to her promise of going to war with me. It was a tacit agreement she had with me and I knew better than anyone how ruthless she can be when crossed.Nevertheless, I had no regrets as I knew what was at stake before going up against her. I wasn't bothered by the war which was coming up in three days, rather, I

Elder Damon's POVThings kept moving on in the direction I wanted and I couldn't help but to thank my stars. Everything I had in mind to do was already planned out carefully and I doubt if there was going to be any flaw in my plans. My tools for destruction and launching of my plans were active not to talk of my spies who were loyal and were ready to do whatever I asked of them. After the secret meeting with Carlos, I returned home only to meet with one of my spies lurking around. โHow long have you been waiting?โ I asked, announcing my presence and at once he turned around and then did a curt bow. โIโm supposed to wait on you.โ He replied as a bright smile spread across my lips. This was loyalty at the peak and I was already itching to get on the throne so the whole pack will bow to me and do my biddings.โWe should talk inside.โ I said, leading the way.A few minutes into our conversation, he le

Nora's POVIf only I knew that the noise from last night was when the palace was being infiltrated, I would have reacted immediately even though I was a bit weak.โDammit!โ I dug my teeth into my lips as I clenched my fists by my side. At the moment, I was in the throne room with the elders who were lamenting about the situation at hand. My parents were taken from the palace, leaving behind only a handful of us and a few maids and guards who were useless; thanks to the substance consumed the previous night. โThis is an abomination. Whoever must have done this must be an insider enemy.โ Elder Tyler yelled, pulling himself to his feet. With his finger pointed at the throne, he went further to say, โThe throne had been defiled.โ Taking a deep breath, I said, โYou have to calm down as everything is under control.โ Before he could part his lips and start rambling, I quickly added, โI sent tropes out to find my parents and the rest of the captives. They should join us soon.โMy words w

Nora's POV It must have been over half an hour that we remained in the same position. While I bemoaned about my fate, Karen listened to me and he never ceased to comfort me but I couldn't be comforted. Justin had clearly stated in his letter that I was nothing but a weakling and I was the cause of the infiltration. His raw words were foreign to me as he had never said that to me before, but why now?This question kept ringing in my head but I had no answer to it. Then, there was Carlos, as sly as a fox. โIf only I knew this was his plan all the while, I would have allowed him to leave the pack immediately he was hale and hearty.โ I muttered, snapping my eyes shut. โDon't blame yourself, you did well. He is the one to be condemned as he took your kindness for granted making you look like a fool.โ Karen said with a mild tone. โI'm not going to trust anyone, ever again. This is a lesson I learnt th

Elder Damon's POVEven though the motive of the war was met, I was not satisfied with the outcome as I felt it didn't go as planned. Nora was supposed to be killed at the Kingdom and not allowed to cross the borders but somehow, she and the army were able to defeat my army. โBut the end result is still the same.โ I smacked my lips, rubbing my palms in glee. With my hands folded behind me, I made my way out of my home and then began to head towards the palace, a bright smile on my face. The throne which I was always longing for was finally going to mine in a matter of hours. All I needed to do was to make sure the elders buy my ideas, in that way, they will have no choice but to listen to whatever I say and act accordingly. On arrival at the palace, I made my way to the throne room only to meet the elders seated with a mournful look on their faces. โTraitor.โ Elder Tyler yelled, wielding his fingers at me.

Carlosโ POV Looking over my shoulders to ascertain no one was coming behind me, I quickly threw my hood over my head and then stole into the night.Walking hurriedly like someone was after my life, I made sure I kept on with this pace until I got to the borders. At first, I didn't see anyone but on a closer look, my eyes fell on a man dressed in black cloak. โDamon.โ I called, hurrying to his side. Now a few feet away from him, I folded my hands in front of me and then did a curt bow. โIโm sorry to have kept you waiting. Sneaking out of the palace became tedious.โ I muttered. โYou don't have to apologize. I just arrived too.โ He said in a carefree tone, making me let out a relieved chuckle. โThanks to you, everything is going on smoothly.โ He said, with a shrug. โI'm just fulfilling my end of the bargain. I need to make sure everything goes on smoothly so at the end of it all no one would hold grudges.โ I

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 ย ย ย Are You Doing It For Her?
GRIFFIN POVI felt it the moment it happenedโa 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 staggeringโand 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 ย ย ย 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
Nora: Rejected Lost Princess ย ย ย The Witch Healer
NORA POVI woke with a gasp, my body jerking upright so violently that my kids nearly fell off the edge of the bed where they had been sitting.Silence stretched in the room for a long while. My kids hugged me, excited to finally have me back. After a while, Carlos came to sit beside me. "Nora!" His hands were on me instantly, checking for wounds that were no longer there. "Thank the Moon Goddess. You're awake."My head spun as memories flooded back โthe attack in the forest, the children screaming, claws tearing into my flesh. I should be dead. By all rights, I should be dead.Carlos handed me a glass of cold water. "You need this." As I gulped the cool liquid, my eyes caught sight of something across the room a small form lying motionless on the floor, surrounded by my aunt. Blood pooled beneath her.The mute girl. "What happened?" I demanded, pushing the glass away. "Why is she bleeding?"Carlos followed my gaze, his expression grim. "She saved you. Took your wounds somehow."I
Nora: Rejected Lost Princess ย ย ย Rescued
CARLOS POVMy heart stopped as I burst into the clearing. The scene before me was worse than anything I'd imagined.Nora lay in a growing pool of blood, surrounded by seven hooded figures. Their forms seemed to waver between solid and smoke, power radiating off them in waves that made my wolf recoil. Ancient beings. Powerful. Deadly."Get away from her!" I roared, my voice breaking with desperation.One of them turned slowly, revealing a face that wasn't quite humanโ eagyes too large, skin too pale. When it smiled, its teeth were needle-sharp."The mate arrives," it said, voice like breaking glass. "Just in time to watch her die."Rage exploded through me. I didn't care if they could kill me with a thought. I wouldn't let Nora die while I stood by. I charged forward, shifting mid-stride, claws extending as I leapt toward the nearest figure.I was still trying to think about my next move. I was confused about everything, and what step to take forward. But I was certain about one thing.
Nora: Rejected Lost Princess ย ย ย She Is Hurt
Carlos POVI moved towards my office window, and saw Griffin walking away from the pack house. I watched Griffin's retreating back, fighting the urge to slam him against the nearest wall. His arrogance was infuriating, but I needed to keep a level head. This wasn't about my personal dislike for the manโit was about protecting Nora and our pack.As soon as he disappeared around the corner, I pulled out my phone and called Elder Silvarum. I needed to speak with him personally. The message I sent to him was not even enough. The phone barely rang once before he answered."Carlos," his gravelly voice came through the line. "I've been expecting your call.""You always are," I said, a warm smile playing on my face despite the circumstances. "I need your counsel. It's about Griffin.""I know that already." I could hear the rustling of papers on his end. "You mentioned him in your letter."I moved to my table, keeping my voice low. "He's in love with Nora. I can use that, turn him against th

THIRD POVThe attack came at dawn, when the mist still clung to the ground and visibility was poor. Not with armies or weapons, but with whispers.The guards patrolling the pack borders heard them firstโsoft, melodic voices calling their names, luring them into the tree line. Two guards disappeared before the others raised the alarm.By mid-morning, the pack house was in lockdown. Carlos had doubled the guard, positioning his strongest fighters at every entrance. No one entered or left without his direct approval."We do not understand what happened. We just heard whispers, and some of the guards were already gone without trace," one of the guards reported to Carlos. Carlos's jaw tightened. "They're testing our defenses, looking for weaknesses.""But who are 'they'? We've seen nothing, no tracks, no scents."The pack was beginning to panic. They spent time trying to figure out what was going on and how to stop whatever danger was lurking. Carlos was more worried than everyone else.
Nora: Rejected Lost Princess ย ย ย Can He Do It?
THIRD POVGriffin leaned against the wall outside the dining hall, waiting. He'd been strategically positioning himself in Nora's path for days now, trying to catch a moment alone with her. He had become a regular face at the pack house. No one bothered themselves with his presence that much anymore. When she finally emerged, he straightened."Nora," he called, his voice softer than usual. "Can we talk?"She glanced his way, her expression hardening instantly. Without a word, she turned in the opposite direction."Please," Griffin said, catching up to her in a few long strides. "Just five minutes.""I have nothing to say to you," Nora replied coldly, quickening her pace.Griffin reached for her arm but stopped himself before making contact. "You've been acting cold towards me for no reason. If it's something I did wrong, then don't you think we should talk about it instead? Nora scoffed. "Talk about it?" She asked. "Why do you even think you did anything wring? I mean, no one has a
Nora: Rejected Lost Princess ย ย ย Shocked
THIRD POVGriffin moved stealthily through the west wing of the house, keeping to the shadows. Three days of careful observation had finally paid offโhe now knew the identities of at least four of the sorceress's spies embedded within Nora's pack. Most of them were unimportant, and I had not decided what to do with the knowledge yet. But the main spy, the one coordinating it all, remained elusive. It was more difficult to find out who it was. The sorceress and the main spy were being too careful with their interactions, so it was more difficult to find out. "Damn it," Griffin muttered, ducking into an alcove as footsteps approached. He'd been so close to discovering who was reporting directly to the sorceress, the puppet master controlling the others.As the footsteps faded, Griffin slipped out again, heading toward the garden where he could think without interruption. His head throbbed with the effort of keeping up appearances, pretending loyalty to the sorceress while secretly wor
