ROSAELIE The four of them had left the room, each of them marking me in places that were clearly visible. I applied concealer on them once I was done with the shower. Then, I went toward the gown Asher had sent back. “Is this some kind of joke?” I muttered as I held the dress between two fingers as if it were dirty. The dull cream-colored fabric hung limply in my hand; the lace around the sleeves had started to fray. The dress wasn’t ugly because of its simple design. It was ugly because it didn't look like it belonged to me. Anyone with sense could see that it wouldn't fit me. The waist was too loose, the skirt was too long, and the neckline looked so old fashioned that even my grandmother wouldn't probably touch it. And, most importantly… The scent. My stomach churned. “Asher.” His scent still clung faintly to the fabric. And beneath it, the scent of a she-wolf. A sweet floral perfume mixed with the natural scent of another female wolf. My fingers clenched tightly aro

ROSAELIEAsher wasted no time. To prove that I was freaking lying and tried to make me panic.But I remained stood, calmly.The elders rushed toward him as his face turned deathly pale. His breathing became ragged, and the veins on his forehead bulged violently. “You don't believe that, do you? What's with the exception thing? And… Only her? That's really a funny thing I've learned.”He folded his arms. “You got a knack for storytelling.”The elders however weren't going to let it go easy. They couldn't have an infertile Alpha.Finally, sensing that he growled. “Fine. Call the pack healer. Immediately!”Within moments, the pack healer hurried through the crowd.Sweat glistened on his forehead as he knelt beside Asher.“Alpha Asher, please calm down.”“I am calm.” Asher barked, though his trembling hands betrayed him.The healer placed two fingers against Asher's wrist before closing his eyes. His wolf's aura spread gently through the room, examining Asher's condition. Then he drew a

ROSAELIEI stood in the middle of them, my heart pounding as four pairs of eyes stared at me without blinking. Xavier’s jaw was clenched, Lucien’s lips were tightly pursed, Elias’s fingers were tapping his thigh, and Rowan’s shoulders were squared as if bracing against a storm. They were angry… Furious, even, and I knew exactly why but I couldn't understand why they'd even be furious.My time with them was almost up. Just one month left. That’s all. And they hated it.But it didn't make sense when they got so worked up over a plaything.Xavier stepped forward first. “You think this is funny? That you can just walk away after one month as if none of this means anything?”“Wasn't that the deal?” I bit my lips.I couldn't understand what they wanted. Definitely not me. But I guess rather the control over me.Lucien’s voice followed, low and sharp. “Since you think this is just our cold commands… A game, we'll treat you exactly like one today.”As he said it, Elias crossed his arms, bef

ROSAELIE“Come with us,” Lucien said as soon as Asher was dragged away.I was stunned. I didn't expect them to break the ice so soon.Before I could even ask where we were going, they had already grabbed my hand and were leading me to my room.I swallowed hard, and my heart was pounding. Fear began to take hold of me, fear that they would do something to me again.“What is it?” I asked, looking at the four of them in turn.They didn’t speak, instead, they all knelt before me at the same time. I instinctively stepped back in surprise. Even after that, they kept their heads bowed.“W–What?” I covered my mouth, embarrassed by my reaction to their gesture.“We were wrong. You can punish us… However you want.” They all looked like children caught doing something guilty. “We're sorry.”I gasped, not expecting that these four alphas - so confident and powerful - would humble themselves to apologize to me.How could I possibly punish them? I was indeed angry for a bit with them but they had

ROSAELIE“Fuck,” Lucien groaned softly, his eyes darkening with an intensity that made my heart skip a beat and my skin feel too tight for my body. “Yeah, it seems like I am indeed flirting with you.”I giggled and stepped away from him, glancing around.“We should go, let that girl use the car and the driver for now, and the driver can take them back once they’re okay.”Lucien smiled and took my hand before kissing the back of it. His lips lingered against my skin with a tenderness that made my chest tighten with conflicting emotions… Emotions I wasn’t ready to delve into any deeper. “Whatever you want, Princess.”As we stepped out of the car, Lucien moved closer to me.“Do you like kids?” he asked.“No, they’re a menace,” I said, the words coming out sharper than I intended.Lucien chuckled softly, his voice rich and warm like honey poured over pebbles, sending shivers down my spine.“Well, that’s good, because I don’t want anyone else trying to steal your attention either.”As he
