Se connecterNoelle 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
Noelle gasped with fear, brushing her hair from her face, and when she turned around, she found Zenith standing there, the very person she had been searching for before stumbling upon what she shouldn’t have heard.Zenith placed a finger on her lips, signaling Noelle to remain silent, before swiftly leading her away from the staff quarters to a quieter area of the palace.“God, you scared me,” Noelle huffed out once they finally stopped.“What were you doing eavesdropping like that?” Zenith asked, hands resting on her hips, waiting for an explanation.“I was actually looking for you. The head maid showed me to your room, and I-I only thought… I was just…”“You were eavesdropping on Alec and Audrey,” Zenith interrupted. “Trust me, Noelle, you’re only going to get yourself into trouble if you keep poking your nose into royal matters.”Noelle frowned. “I’m not like that, Zenith.” She contemplated whether she should tell Zenith what she had overheard, but then…they had only just met the p
The prince carried Noelle to the clinic, which was near the part of the building they were in. He didn’t know what happened, but the moment she temporarily transformed into a wolf, her pheromones had lured him closer, lingering in the room even after she collapsed.The next thing he knew, he was carrying her to the clinic. Doctor Raphael, the werewolf doctor, was surprised to see the prince carrying a mere outcast into the clinic, which led him to conclude that the girl’s condition must be severe. But after examining her, he was surprised to find that she had only passed out due to extreme stress. There was no life-threatening condition.“She will be fine when she wakes up soon. I’ve injected her with a regeneration serum, and her energy will be restored shortly,” Doctor Raphael informed the prince.“Okay,” Silas replied curtly. “Raphael,” the prince called, and the doctor turned around. “Yes, your highness?”“Don’t tell anyone that I brought her here with my hands,”Raphael dared not
