Semua Bab The Lost Alpha Princess: Bab 231 - Bab 240

“Where is it? Where’s the dinghy?” Victor asked Captain Burns while keeping me shielded from the fire with his body.“Here, in this compartment.” Captain Burns opened a hidden storage compartment and struggled to pull out what looked like two duffel bags.He placed them on the deck, and Victor helped pull the uninflated lifeboats from the bags.While they did that, I stuffed our bottles of flavored water and the snacks into my mini backpack. I was terrified, but doing something helped calm me a little.What happened? How did the boat catch on fire and spread so quickly?“Take this one to the platform off the stern and pull the cord to inflate it,” Captain Burns instructed. “They are two-person dinghies. You and the girl get in that one. I’ll be right behind you in the other.”I hesitated, afraid to step through the wall of thick black smoke to follow Victor.“Hurry and get off the boat with your boyfriend, miss!” Captain Burns shouted over the now roaring sound of the blaze. “I just f

At first, I was too frightened to speak. Yes, I was scared for myself, but Victor was still asleep. If he woke up and saw a man painting a gun at me, he would try to disarm the man and maybe get shot.“Who are you, and why are you in my house?” the man demanded.“We …we …were on a …ya …yacht that blew up and …and the …life …lifeboat dra …drifted here,” I stammered. After everything that happened, this, being held at gunpoint, was too much.The man lowered the rifle slightly. He appeared to be about as old as Alex and was dressed in old jeans and a T-shirt. He would seem normal if he wasn’t aiming a gun at me.“You were on a yacht that blew up, huh?” he sneered. “What’s your name, girl?”“Duh …Daisy,” I replied. “Please don’t shoot us. We came into your house because we were hungry, tired, and dirty. A shark almost ate us!” I began to cry, and Victor stirred behind me.“Put the gun down, Arthur,” a woman said as she entered the house with her arms full of shopping bags. She was the sam

I blinked the water from my eyes and realized the shadow was a wolf …a black wolf. It must have jumped onto my balcony and entered through the glass door.“Please be Victor,” I mumbled. With my luck lately, a burglar had caught me in the shower. But I was too tired to be afraid. I’d dealt with worse than a burglar in the last few days.I wrapped the towel around my body and flung the shower door open. In the exact second, the wolf shifted human, and my magnificently masculine fiancé stood before me in all his naked glory.“I missed you too much to leave you and go home alone,” he apologized. “I'm wiped out and just want to hold you while we sleep.”“But what if somebody comes into my room?” I asked. Jennifer would be shocked to find Victor in my bed.“You could lock the door,” he suggested.My eyes roamed over Victor’s muscular form. He was breathtaking. Every muscle was defined as if it were sculpted from granite.His wide shoulders and broad chest tapered into lean, narrow hips. His

“Daisy, did you know about this,” Amy asked.“Only for a few days,” I admitted.“And you didn’t tell me right away?” Amy started to cry. “The first thing I would’ve done was call you if I found out something like this about you.”“Amy, it wasn’t my place to tell you,” I insisted. “After your dad told me, he said he would tell you himself.”“Why did he tell you?” she asked.I knew Amy wasn’t really mad at me. The news had been a big surprise for her. She was slowly processing and dealing with a new identity.But I would have to tell her about the party. She wasn’t going to be happy until she knew every detail.“I’m planning a surprise birthday party for you,” I said. “I called your dad from the beach to make sure he didn’t have other plans for your birthday, and he told me he wanted to be alone with you that night and why.”Amy wiped away a few tears with the back of her hand. “But still, you should’ve told me right away.”“Amy, I made her promise not to tell you,” Mr. Gray said sternl

Jennifer helped Amy replace her beautiful ball gown with the plain brown ceremonial robe of a first-shift ceremony. She removed her shoes and all of her jewelry and loosened her hair.“All ready,” Jennifer declared.“Do you have it?” Amy asked me.I patted the canvas bag under my arm. “Yep, let’s go.”Amy walked solemnly beside me, but I could tell by the look on her face that she was almost bursting with excitement.To avoid the guests, we went out the west wing side door and walked around the outside of the mansion to the rose garden. Justin, Mr. Gray, and the priestess were waiting there for us.Amy wanted the ceremony to be private, so a few footmen were standing guard nearby to keep away any curious guests.The ceremony wasn’t as formal as mine, but I thought it was very beautiful.As the witnesses, Justin, Mr. Gray, and I chanted the ancient prayers, the priestess called for the Moon Goddess.“We ask for your prayers and intervention with Lycaon, dear Goddess,” the priestess int
