Chapter 9Days turned into weeks, and the pain of Alucard's rejection remained etched in my heart. Despite the emotional turmoil I endured, I found solace in returning to the Moon Oriental pack, where I received unwavering support from my fellow pack members, including Jaromir, who stood by my side through it all. The best older brother I could ever have.The revelation of my pregnancy did not spread through our pack, and only Jaromir knew about it as soon as I returned to his dormitory on that day. He remained silent, giving me the impression that he already knew since he noticed that my attitude changed when I went to the royal palace in hasty. Yet, he chose not to confront me or discuss the matter further.While dealing with the heartbreak, completely living life as if nothing happened when I was in the capital, I started to show some signs of pregnancy, like having morning sickness and having an upset stomach if there was food that was not to my liking. Edison noticed it and aske

Chapter 11As I stood in the garden of the Bellwood estate in the middle of the night, the fragrance of hyacinth flowers filled the air, reminding me of the day my life took a dramatic turn. I smiled, grateful for the unexpected journey fate had laid before me. The scars of the past had faded, replaced by the warmth of love and family surrounding me."Faya."My heart melted upon seeing my mother's arrival. Also, the name, Faya, was her and Father's nickname to me from Faustina. "Mother... Are you not sleepy yet?" I asked softly, seeing how she wrapped herself with a scarf on her chemise. "I'm about to, but I saw you here."I offere

Chapter 13"To you, His Majesty, Grand Alpha King Apollo," I respectfully greeted the father of the Alpha King and the other princes, meeting his earnest and stoic gaze. "Your Royal Highness, Crown Prince Alucard..." I noticed him shift slightly in his seat, his breathing reaching my sensitive ears before I looked away. "And Your Highnesses, Prince Alistair, Prince Alejandro..." These two were twins, known as the Twin Garnets for their role as matchmaking cupids, often causing chaotic but amusing attempts at finding potential mates for others. "And Prince Atticus." My eyes then turned to the youngest brother of the current monarch and the youngest son of the previous ruling king."I see." Alpha King Azarius nodded with acknowledgment. "I have heard that you were the long-lost daughter of Dowager Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Bellwood." His voice was deep, and his forest-green eyes were glimmering in amusement."Yes, Your Majesty. I have now become the head of our household after achiev

Chapter 15The atmosphere around me seemed to freeze as Prince Alistair and Prince Alejandro stood before me, their eyes wide with smiles on their lips. It was as if time itself had paused, and the air was charged with the weight of unspoken emotions.Damn it... Of all people I had to meet right now, why Alucard's twin brothers? Once known as the matchmakers of our kingdom, they had the uncanny ability to identify potential mates for individuals. However, they had stopped practicing their matchmaking skills ever since a heartbreaking incident involving the rejection of their mate, who later gave birth to their twin children. It was rumored that their mate tragically passed away, which left them in a state of devastation, but they eventually transformed their lives for the sake of their beloved twins."It's really you, grand duchess," Prince Alejandro finally managed to say, his voice beaming."We did not expect to see you here," Prince Alistair said."Your Highnesses..." Think, Fausti

Chapter 17I raised an eyebrow, trying to hide my surprise at seeing Alucard here. But how could he show himself before me? "Elijah suggested, did he?" I replied with a touch of amusement in my voice. How dare Alucard show himself before me when I was just kidding. "Well, how thoughtful of him."Alucard's smile didn't waver, and his gaze held mine steadily. "Indeed," he replied, his tone laced with a hint of playfulness. "I couldn't possibly resist the opportunity to meet with you, Grand Duchess Bellwood. After all, it's not every day that I get to enjoy such delightful company."I couldn't help but almost roll my eyes at his flattery. Alucard had always been a smooth talker, skilled at weaving words to his advantage. "What do you really want, Crown Prince Alucard?" I asked, cutting through the pleasantries. "I highly doubt you came here just for a casual visit." Although I already knew why he came here.I was just jesting at what I told Elijah, yet this jerk was now in front of me. I
