ログイン“Speak,” Silas commanded.Zenith started, “No-Noelle had a fight with one of the palace servants who work for Sir Alec.”“Who?”“ Au-Audrey.” Zenith informed him.He silently assimilated the information.“Please, your highness, I am scared. I will appreciate it if she doesn’t know that I told you. Audrey could be devious.” Zenith pleaded. She hated getting into problems like this one and she surely wouldn’t want Alec to know she just mentioned his girlfriend or whatever she was to him as a suspect.Silas knew who Audrey was. He had seen her together with Alec a few times before, and the girl had once boldly consulted him about her wishes to work for him. Calling Audrey to question would require some strategy, because Alec could devise that as a means to cause another problem.He nodded at the waiting servant. “You can leave now.”Zenith bowed and left the room. Silas returned to the bedside, watching Noelle’s chest rise and fall. A sense of protectiveness he couldn’t quite fathom, env
Distant voices surrounded Noelle, but she couldn’t tell if they were near or not. She could barely comprehended anything else except the pain tearing through her body like fire.She writhed, feeling burned everywhere.“Noelle?” Conor, the prince’s servant tried to steady her, his face paling with fear. Together with a few servants, they had been trying to figure out what was wrong with her.He sent one of them to inform the prince, and a moment later, he arrived.“Move” Prince Silas’s voice was heard as he appeared in the doorway, approaching them. He was clad in black suits like he was set to head out, looking all powerful and intimidating in the black material.Conor quickly stepped aside as Silas knelt beside Noelle’s writhing form.“We heard her screams and we’ve been trying to steady her” Conor explained, but Silas didn’t reply.A frown marred his face as he took Noelle in before leaning towards her to access her features, trying to decipher what the problem was. He sniffed her a
Noelle woke up to find herself tucked under a thick duvet. She didn’t remember covering herself the previous night. She had fallen asleep right after the prince did. Speaking of the prince, she turned to the other side of the bed and realized he was no longer there.Her mind drifted back to the events of the previous night; it all felt surreal. Silas asking her to stay with him, sharing a deep conversation, it almost seemed like a dream. A faint smile crept onto her face. The lingering scent of him in the air was the only confirmation she needed to be sure he had really been there.Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Noelle slipped out of bed and wandered over to the long window and that was when she heard noises. The palace seemed to be in chaos, with the sounds of shoutings echoing from below. Her curiosity was piqued, so she slowly left the room and followed the voices, leading her to the palace’s basement.“I said, who are you, and who sent you?!” Noelle would recognize that voice a
Noelle's heart skipped.She wasn’t expecting such a request. Especially not when he’s been cold to everyone else all evening.Did that mean he trusted her? She couldn’t help but get tingled by the idea as much as it made her anxious. Silas was unpredictable. She had learnt to accept that. Or start accepting that…"Okay, Your grace," Noelle muttered, her voice barely audible. The situation felt awkward as she pondered on whether to sit. As if sensing her hesitation, Silas interrupted her thoughts.“Here,” he said, placing a hand on the space beside him on the bed, gesturing for Noelle to join him. Noticing her discomfort, he continued, “I just need company, and you’re the only one close by that I don’t hold a grudge against at the moment.”Prince Silas's voice lacked the usual commanding tone he always used when addressing Noelle. It was tender now, and for the first time, Noelle wasn’t afraid of him. In this vulnerable moment, Silas didn’t seem like the intimidating and enigmatic Lyc
"I’m only doing what the prince has asked of me. If you have a problem with that, take it up with him." Noelle said to her.Audrey’s eyes narrowed, and she stepped closer, her tone filled with menace when she spoke again. "Why should I take it up with the prince when I can deal with you myself? I won’t hesitate to destroy you if you are rude to me, weak wolf.” She threatened deviously.Noelle scoffed at her, plainly disgusted by her morals. “You know, I noticed since the first time I saw you that you are bad news, and I’ve managed to stay out of your way. I’m not even interested in associating myself with you so don’t come for me”Noelle retorted with suppressed anger but just then, Audrey suddenly lunged at her with her nails extended. Though shocked, Noelle skillfully dodged her attack. She spinned around to deliver a swift kick to her side. Audrey stumbled, shocked by Noelle’s strength. Unknown to her, Noelle had spent her recent days and most nights training her wolf whenever she
It was a week later, Noelle had been only eating, sleeping and hanging around Zenith. She also had a palace staff showing her around, the boy named Connor told Noelle that the prince instructed him to show Noelle around, to the palace stables and how to prepare the prince’s riding gear, she wondered why she needed to know that though she could only yield.Noelle also made sure to avoid Alec and the mean red-haired that was his girlfriend.Noelle had contemplated telling prince Silas about what she had overheard, but she remembered Zenith’s caution about staying away from the palace’s business and just doing her duties. Duties that she was yet to be given. Before she was taken away from her previous pack, they were told she would be given off for marriage to the prince, but the prince hadn’t even for once regarded the marriage offer.The only time she had seen him during the week was when he was training in the palace courtyard with Alec and the King’s beta. The prince had seen her but
