Chapter 10 What I heard and saw astounded me. I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened earlier even while Gina and I were cleaning a room in the palace. I was aware of the rumors about Alpha Greyson being cruel, but I also understand that it is a leader's responsibility to be cruel and strong in the eyes of his subordinates so that no one despises him.However, seeing the truth with my own eyes shocked me. I've long admired the Alpha King for his elegance and intelligence in all aspects of life, but I can't accept that he would sacrifice an innocent life to achieve his goal.I had no idea that knowing the truth could be so painful. But it's funny how, even knowing the truth, I can't stop my heart from loving him. "I noticed you’re quiet the whole time?" Gina inquired."Because I can't get what happened earlier out of my mind," I admitted as I mapped the floor of the room, we were cleaning."Perhaps you're shocked because this is your first step here in the palace, but such a

Chapter 11 Mrs. Clea quickly snatched me up, went to my room, and shut the door. Yna and Gina were left outside while Mrs. Clea was tense inside our room. "Don't you know how dangerous what you did was, Amara?" Mrs. Clea’s voice was angry. I bit my bottom lip because I knew Mrs. Clea was right. I consider myself fortunate to be alive. Because it's wrong no matter which way you look at it."I'm sorry," I admitted regretfully. I overheard her sighing incongruously. "The last thing Vikki wants you to do, Amara, is get involved with the Alpha King because you know how dangerous he is!" Mrs. Clea said as I bit my lower lip. Is the Alpha King's attitude truly so bad that she fears for my life?"Is he really that cruel, Mrs. Clea?" I asked, looking her in the eyes. I've seen everything earlier, so why don't I believe it now? Is it true that I am so blind to the truth that I refuse to accept everything?Mrs. Clea came up to me. "You are very beautiful, Amara, and this must be one of the reas

Chapter 13 I observed Mrs. Clea, who was agitated in front of me. Gina, Yna, and I are now in Mrs. Clea’s office. After what happened at the Alpha king's lunch, Mrs. Clea is obviously concerned.But I can handle myself. I know it's dangerous to get close to Alpha Greyson. Maybe now he is planning how to torture me. I accept everything again. All I have to do is be strong until I find Shena."Mrs. Clea, I'm fine; you don't have to worry about it," I said to calm her down. She came to a halt and turned to face me. I couldn't see what was in her eyes, but I could tell she was worried about me."No, Amara, you don't know Alpha Greyson; he's...too much for you," Mrs. Clea expressed concern. I sighed deeply and bit my lower lip."Mrs. Clea how about we just make Amara run away now?” Gina suggested. I quickly shook my head at Gina. "Don't! If you do that, you will be the ones who will be punished! I can't let that happen, Gina!” I strongly refuse.“But…Gina is right, Amara. You will be bett

Chapter 15 I still can't believe what happened. I watched as the color of blood mixed with the warm water from the shower that was running down my body. I'm most likely in the Alpha king's chamber right now. And I can't even think about how I got into this situation.I'll never forget what he said. From what he said, he made it clear that I was just prey, and he didn't want anyone else handling me. I can't stop being angry. I can't help but be annoyed by the Alpha king.Why does it seem as if he owns everything the way he speaks? He acts as if he doesn't care about other people's feelings. He can kill in an instant without hesitation. I was reminded of the woman who nearly begged him to save her child. But no matter how much mercy Alpha Greyson professes, there is none to be found.I still can't believe it. Alpha Greyson's heartlessness, mercilessness, and cold-bloodedness astound me. But why is that? I'm well aware of Alpha Greyson's bad behavior, so why does my heart continue to pr

Chapter 17 Sweat dripped down my forehead as I ran across the entire floor of the function hall. My body is also aching from cleaning every corner of the function hall by myself. Everyone is preoccupied with the upcoming party. Everyone pitched in to put up beautiful decorations all over the place.I took a deep breath and resumed my cleaning. I just need to finish this and save my energy for when the guests arrive. I need to track down the old man who captured Shena. And, of course, Alpha Greyson is keeping a close eye on me.Despite my tiredness, I attempted to finish cleaning the function hall. I was finished just as Alpha Greyson arrived. Everyone stopped what they were doing to pay their respects to Alpha Greyson's arrival. When I felt his gaze on me, I stood up properly."Is everything all right here?" Alpha Greyson inquired coldly. I can feel the chill of his voice in my bones. Beta Miguel's words came to mind when I talked to him. What caused Alpha Greyson to develop this per
