For the whole 17 years of her existence, Alana did not know the word freedom and happiness having been confined in the basement of her family’s house accused of killing her own mother. She’s beaten, cursed at, and barely survived from crumbs of food thrown at her. She thought this is her final destiny and has accepted the bitter fate of her life not until the night of her 18th birthday, a mysterious alpha appeared at her door telling her that she is the long-lost daughter of the alpha king and claiming her as his mate he’s been looking for several years now.

But I will do anything unless I tell him.His face brightened up when he saw me as he scooped me in his arms and kissed my head abruptly. The gesture got me frozen for a bit before I regained my composure.Every time he does that, I am still left blushing knowing that the alpha prince who’s been known in the country to be the most charming, appealing, and handsome is doing this to me, never making me feel special and beautiful each time.“Why are you so excited? I bet something wonderful happened today, am I right?”He sat on the floor and leaned his back to the wall, his face exhausted but with a light glow on it already as I settled for the chair in front of him ready to tell him everything.I gasped. “How did you know?”He reached for my face and playfully pinched the
AlanaThat morning, Francine came down knocking at the door of the cabin house where I stayed the night.“Our lady? The queen luna sent a letter for you,” she excitedly handed me a piece of a dainty small pink envelope.My heart thumped out of its cage when I opened it and read it. For a few months that I stayed in the castle, I was already able to read and write sentences to the delight of my tutors who complimented me for being a fast learner.I let out an air first before I finished reading the letter.“Alana? What is it? Can you tell me what the letter is about?” Francine asked. She cannot contain her excitement already.“T-The queen luna wants me to visit her quarters.”“Really?!” she shrieked in happiness. “Then come on! Let’s get you dolled up!”She pulled me into the car and went back into the castle.“Pretty dresses should be worn, our lady. The alpha prince made sure every precious piece of clothing in the country that is fit for a noble princess will be brought to you,” Fra
William“Alpha king, queen luna. I am happy to see you back in the castle. I hope that you have enjoyed the new country you have visited,” I greeted my parents while bowing before them in the receiving area of the palace.“Of course, my dear William. Come on. Give mommy a big hug,” Luna Katrina beamed and opened her arms for me.After hugging and kissing her cheeks, I also embraced my father who nodded at me pleasingly.“Dad.”We settled onto the sofa to partake with welcome tea.“How was the party you hosted with Belinda? Did she like it?” the alpha king asked, clearly prying.I am sure what happened at that party already reached him.“To be honest, I don’t think so, dad. I think I ruined it for her,” I told the truth.No point in lying to him when I know he already knew about it.He set the cup down at the coffee table and turned towards his luna. “Dear, can you please leave us for a moment. I just have to talk with our son.”My mother nodded seeing through her husband’s mind. Befor
William“Francine, did you check the lights? The color? Will Alana really like it?”I kept on looking at the blueprint and the interior of the log cabin house I built as a surprise for Alana. It’s by the lake where she enjoys her time looking at the moon and stars and the breeze. I reckoned it would be more comfortable for her to be here if she has a house to stay with.But I am anxious to see what would be her reaction so I want it to be perfect as much as possible. I have chosen everything and built the cabin with the help of some workers because I want it to be more special.“According to her painting instructor, the lady likes baby pink and purple shades so I know she will like the interior of the cabin,” she replied with a big smile on her face seeing how I have been worrying nonstop this morning.I am planning to turn over this to her tonight when the moon is bright above.“Really? That’s a relief. How about the furniture? The paintings we chose? I mean she can always redecorate
AlanaI hid behind William’s back as hundreds of lights held by soldiers and Belinda spotted us in the rain.“Turn off the lights!” William commanded the guards. “You are all scaring Alana!”They quickly put them down while Belinda ran towards us, confusion and disbelief in her eyes.“William, what are you doing with that woman? How could you kiss someone like her?”But instead of answering her, he ignored him and looked at one of the guards. “Give me a blanket now!”Someone hurried at us, putting us under a big umbrella and handing William two blankets.“Here, alpha prince.”He put them all over my shoulders and pulled me closer into him.“Come on, Alana. The rain is still pouring down. You might catch a cold.”“O-Okay.”He picked up my soiled bag from the ground to put over his shoulder as he ushered me back into the path of the castle’s gate.“William, answer me! William!” Belinda chased after us together with all her servants who are scrambling to keep her under the shade of an um
AlanaI cried myself to sleep that night knowing that I really have to leave the palace and William’s side once he married that beautiful woman.Yes, I am his mate but what could a mate like me do for him? My father doesn’t want me. He treated me like a slave. I don’t have a family. I don’t have anything in me for me to be worthy of William.I have nothing against the princess.I am nothing when compared to her.With a small bag in my hand carrying some clothes for me to last a few days, I sneaked out of the room to leave the palace.Droplets of rain pouring down on me but that doesn’t stop me from crying, the brief memories of me and William in the times that we have been together begin to assault me.I don’t know but leaving him like this hurts more than the abandonment of my own father.“Alana!” I heard William’s voice from my back but I did not stop and just continued walking beneath the rain with my head down, tears flowing together with the rain.I must have been imagining becau
WILLIAM“Alana…”I pushed Belinda away to help Alana who was on the floor hurrying to clean the fragments but before I could come to her, Lucas and the other servants already came to her assistance.“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” she kept on murmuring to each and every elite guest in the party but not once looking at my way as if I did not exist in front of her.My heart hurts for her seeing how she kept on apologizing. Why does she keep saying sorry when I should be doing that? She’s hurt I can tell just by her mannerisms. That little fidgeting tells me everything I have to know and yet I am still here in the middle of the dance floor watching her scurry off back into the kitchen.“I will take care of him, alpha prince,” Francine said when she saw me going for Alana.“No, I will do it.”“But alpha prince…”Belinda caught my arm and made me turn back to her.“William, where are you going? It’s just a servant girl. Are you going to leave me just because of her?”“Watch your mouth! She is n
William“Francine, how is Alana?” I asked in the middle of the party that I threw for Belinda Crossworth, the princess of the north whom I was betrothed to.It was not a formal agreement between our fathers but it seemed like the princess is so thrilled with the idea that she is still holding it up until now.She requested my father to come here and the alpha king instructed me to receive her as our official guest.“She is alright, alpha prince.”I sighed and scanned the room. If only I could pull the time. I would really want to run back to Alana. I want to see her now. I wanted to smell her and to look at her puppy eyes filled with excitement once she sensed my presence. “Did she already eat? What is she doing now? Is she getting bored in the room? Please tell her that I will really go to her after a meeting tonight.”Francine chuckled seeing how excited I am even though we only haven’t seen each other for hours. “I am sure the lady will understand you, alpha prince. Alana is a ver
Alana“Alana!”I turned to the window where the voice was coming from and smiled sweetly and waved at William silently who was knocking at the glass asking me to open it. I am afraid that my instructor in proper behavior will catch me talking to him while the lessons are ongoing but she is the one who nodded at me so I immediately leaped in my feet and opened the window.“Yes, my alpha prince?” I asked in a whisper to the man who reached for my ear and put a stem of rose on it.He is sitting on the ladder while my head is out of his room’s window.I blushed and giggled when he stole a glance at the teacher and kissed my head when he saw that she was not looking.He enrolled me into different classes under excellent tutors who taught me things that were only my dream when I was in the cell of the mansion. I was more than eager to learn everything because Francine told me that mates of the royal family often go abroad to get educated about the ways of being one but William took more eff
