Chapter 1. LYANNA’S POV.I wake up in the middle of the forest, my sleepwear, pink pyjamas hanging loosely around my body. Fear instantly grips me, and I shoot up from the forest floor so fast like the flash of lightning, darting here and there in the thick darkness, my feet crushing the leaves underneath. Shit. How’d I get here? Where’s mum and dad? Squinting my eyes, I try to pinpoint their exact location amidst the tall trees with its gnarly branches, but all I can see is darkness covering me like a thick blanket. Sweat circles my underarm, making my side itch and I swallow past the bulge in my throat, mumbling a weak ‘hello’. My voice echoes through the chilly air, hitting me with full force, and it nearly knocks the air out of my lungs. Gasping for breath, my eyes widen in realization. Oh my gosh. I’m all alone. No one’s coming for me. Heart hammering against my ribcage, I try to maintain my balance, but my knees are wobbly and I can barely keep steady without the world dancing

LYANNA’S POV. “Hey, are you.. okay?” Dad asks, turning briefly away from the road to stare at me. His deep brown eyes narrow like slits. “Yeah,” I say, slouching further into the passenger’s seat as if wanting to disappear. The dream last night had left me unsettled and I hardly caught any more sleep after that, busying myself with trying to find meaning to what I’d seen. Not like I’d seen much, apart from the big, angry wolf. Those vivid blue eyes kept flashing through my mind, sending chills down my spin every time. Are wolves real? Or am I being some sort of paranoiac? I mean yesterday, I thought I had seen someone and if it wasn't for my daddy, I would have kept walking into the forest! Damn!After a moment’s hesitation, I resolve to ask him what had been bothering me. “Hey, dad. Do you know anything about wolves in a forest?” “No, why?” He’s quick to say, his hands clutching the steering wheel tightly. I shake my head, heaving a sigh. “It’s nothing.” Maybe I’m overthinking

Present Day****Alpha Lord Lugard's PovI am sitting at my desk, having Isadora willingly invade my mind and soul with her green eyes as an emerald and pretty face. Not much to say of her physical changes, she is still the lively little girl who always laughed loudly around the house, whose giggles were so cute. And with golden hair that shone brightly like a goddess.It was so surprising that my heart skipped a beat, almost rendering me speechless when I locked eyes with her. That's far from something I had expected. Lyanna Coblah? Was she deceiving us? I looked straight into her eyes when she spoke and I was sure she wasn't telling lies. And anyways, why will she do that? A man walks in, old with receding hairline and unkept gray malnourished hair, shuffling his feet and finally stopping behind a lectern that he is a few inches taller than. He didn't look like a professor deem for this institution. However, who knows? He could be the most intelligent teacher the school has ever be

Alpha Lord Lugard's PovThis wasn't part of my plans, I never considered it, otherwise, I would have taken care of the matter. And how come? How come he's in Denver schooling when there are so many collages dispersed around the world?And now, here with Lyanna, I don't know how to confuse her so she wouldn't ever think of once being a Princess Isadora? And how will I also handle Roger? Personally, it's going to be pretty much hard for him to convince himself over and over again that I am that slave boy Lugard, at least I have changed but what are her?I stop and turn around, waiting for her to get much more closer. I hold my waist, watching her intently as though it was my first seeing again. Goodness, she's a true beauty. "So now what? What are you coming to show me down here?" She looks around. ,"Well, there's even nothing here to show so please go straight to the point or I leave." "Lyanna, if you knew me, you wouldn't have talked to me in that tone." I grit my teeth

Lyanna's PovDad's car pulls over at the car park, I get down then wave him a goodbye and he drives off. He's always in so early, what happened today, I don't see his car around. I thought to myself while looking around for Drake. "Are you looking for me?" I startle, jump a little then turn around involuntarily. "Hey there, Roger, you scared the hell out of me." I massage my temples as I catch my breath. "Uhm, anyway, how are you?" "I feel terrific, actually, anybody would if they first encountered an angel before they got on with their daily activities." I swallow hard and remain silent for some moment, deliberating on the right choices of words. "I…I don't know what to say, Roger. Or do you think just thanks will do?" "I guess accepting going out to dinner tonight will do. Miss Lyanna, what do you say?" He looks at me intently, his smiles never fading away unlike Drake. Oh, Drake? He barely smiles and when he does, he looks so beautiful,
