The Rejected She-Wolf’s Return

"Naomi get up! It is past 2 p.m. already; have you forgotten what today is?"My mother walked into my room that afternoon and opened the curtains to the giant windows to let the morning sun hit me directly in my face. This was her usual ritual every morning since I always slept more than I should, especially on special occasion days like today was in the palace. "I want to be in bed today mom, I don't feel like getting up now". I answered her, covering my head further with the duvet to prevent the sun from piercing into my eyes that early in the morning. "Don't be silly young lady, every other person is up already, and dressed. The guests will be arriving anytime soon and the ball will begin". My mother insisted. "But I don't want to attend the party mom"."But you must attend. Your father has asked every daughter of the family to be present, and no one dares disobey the Alpha in this pack". My mother said as she opened my wardrobe and begins to bringing out my dress. She also c

I was woken up by the noise I heard coming from the outside of my room window. I sat up in bed, and felt a wave of dizziness sweep round my head, and I decided to sit still for a while to let my head cool off before leaving the bed. I had slept last night with a heavy heart, and on an empty stomach. I can't tell for how long I had slept, but I could remember my mother left my room late last night, after very long hours of conversations and sobbing. My mother had tried to convince me not to take Lucas serious, and never to take any of his words to heart. "Alpha Magnus had taken you in nine years ago as his adopted daughter, and never as an orphan". She had said, comforting me and doing all she could to make me cheer up and accept our sudden stay as the members of the royal family as our fate. "Hey, wait for me. Give me the camera, I want to take a picture of myself too". A voice from outside the window brought me back from my thoughts of last night. I stood up from the bed, walked

“You're here.” Cleo expressed her joy when she saw me enter the dining area. Everyone was waiting patiently. This was the same dining room where I had dinner every single day of my life as long as I could remember. It looked different today, just like everything looked to me since the day Lucas mentioned that I was just a common orphan. I looked at the people surrounding the table, the ones I had always called my family. The people that were always with me all this while now suddenly looked like strangers to me. I knew deep down that Lucas had messed with my mind. He was there too with a wicked smirk on his face. He was definitely up to something and I knew he was going to come after me. “Good morning, my princess. How are you doing?” My mother greeted me as I sat at the chair beside which was the only one vacant. “Good morning, my Alpha.” I greeted the Alpha-king Magnus who smiled back to acknowledge my greetings.“How are you doing Naomi?” “I'm doing well, my king.” I responde

I found myself waiting patiently at the garden for Lucas. I hoped that whatever it is he wanted to say was very important because I wouldn't like to be seen with a man like him. I didn't like to be seen with men like Lucas especially in this situation. This made me hate him even more. He came after minutes of waiting."Why would you keep me waiting for this long?" I asked him when I saw him. "I'm not as Jobless as you are." I retorted. He chuckled, then looked up to me. "You don't seem to like me very much, do you?" "Does it matter?" "Well. It doesn't." He answered and found a seat for himself. "I think you should make yourself comfortable because this would be a long conversation that you wouldn't like to miss." "Make it short. Your presence irritates me." I argued. That was the only thing I could do. Lucas had power and usually got whatever he wanted including women except me. The only reason he also hasn't slept with the other Princesses was because he was related to them. H

The next morning, I was feeling too tired to stand up to do anything. I was weak and hungry all at the same time. When I finally woke up and checked my time, I found out that it was too late for breakfast. We had visitors to welcome so I had to dress well. It was Cleo's suitor, he was coming to make things official between them both. The sun was bright enough and everything was ready for them to arrive. I had just taken my bath when I heard a knock at my room door. I wasn't dressed so I asked who it was from the inside. .“It's me, Vanessa. The Alpha wants to see you. He says you should come immediately.” The maid answered. “Alright. Tell him I'll be there shortly.” I said out loud and then wondered why the Alpha would want to see me. “Was it because I didn't make it to breakfast today?” I thought. I was on good terms with Alpha-king Magnus but I never had a close contact with him. He was just a step father to me, he was my step sister's father. I gave him the respect as the man
