All Chapters of The Alpha’s forgotten daughter : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Fear settled heavy in my chest as Prince Luca’s golden eyes stayed fixed on me, unblinking.“I… I’m sorry,” I whispered, lowering my head. “I only defended myself.”He didn’t answer right away.His silence was somehow worse than shouting. His expression never changed, and yet I felt an invisible pressure pressing down on the room, making it hard to breathe.Finally, he spoke.“You dared defend yourself in the presence of Lycan royalty.” His voice was low. Controlled. Dangerously calm.For a moment, I braced myself for the words execute her.Instead, he stepped closer, slow and deliberate.“Perhaps sparing your life was a mistake.”My heart skipped“But….” he paused, “……everything happens for a reason. There is destiny in every decision.” His golden eyes locked onto mine. “Come. To my room. You will receive your punishment there.”My throat went dry.His room?, Why his room?.A thousand frightening possibilities flooded my mind as I followed him in silence through the vast palace corri

Lyra’s POVWhat are you doing, Lyra?. I asked myself and I immediately shook my head, forcing myself to look away from the forbidden passage.“No,” I whispered to myself. “Don’t even think about it.”I couldn’t afford to lose Prince Luca’s trust. Not now. Not ever. If I touched anything inside this library or disobeyed his instructions, the Lycans would surely believe I had been stealing all along. It would only prove everyone right.Besides, I’ve always been the obedient girl. The one who followed every instruction without question. No matter how badly life treated me, I never let it change who I was. I wasn’t going to start now.With a deep breath, I turned away from the forbidden passage and continued cleaning.Hours passed. The sun gradually disappeared beyond the palace windows, leaving only the soft glow of enchanted lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Dust coated my hands. My clothes were stained from old cobwebs. My back ached from bending over countless shelves. Worst of all,

Prince Luca’s PovI stood by the edge of the bed, my breath shallow as I watched Lyra sleep. She looked so delicate, like a small blossom flower unfurling under moonlight—her dark hair spilled across the pillow, her full lips parted softly, and her body curved innocently beneath the sheer net gown. I hadn’t meant to linger. I should leave, give her space, but my legs felt rooted to the floor. Verek, my Lycan wolf, paced restlessly inside me, a low growl echoing in my mind, flooding my veins with raw, unrelenting heat. The beast wanted her. Needed her. I gazed lower. In her sleep, Lyra shifted, pushing her plump, rounded big bum back slightly, the thin fabric of her gown riding up to tease the smooth curve of her ass. The sight sent a bolt of lust straight to my cock, which strained painfully against my boxers. Slide into her from behind, Verek urged, voice thick with primal hunger. Claim what’s ours. My hands clenched at his sides. I fought it—until her long lashes fluttered

Lyra’s POVThe loud buzzing of an alarm clock jolted me awake. I groaned and rolled onto my back, rubbing my sleepy eyes as the annoying sound continued until I reached behind me and switched it off. Curious, I picked it up and checked the time — and my eyes widened.“What? It rang four times already?”The small enchanted clock read 8:05 a.m. I gasped. “I overslept! This is only my second day as Prince Luca’s personal maid, and I’m already starting on a terrible note.”I threw the blanket aside and hurried out of bed, though the mattress was so unbelievably soft that part of me wanted to dive right back into it. “I’ll enjoy this bed another day,” I muttered. Right now, I had bigger problems.I rushed into the luxurious bathroom and turned on the warm shower. Crystal-clear water cascaded over my body, washing away the last traces of sleep. As I shampooed my hair, I suddenly heard what sounded like footsteps — someone had entered my room. My heart skipped.Could it be… did Prince Luca

Lyra’s POVFor a few seconds, Rowan still held me gently by the waist, making sure I had regained my balance. Neither of us spoke. The hallway had become unusually silent.Then Prince Luca’s cold voice broke through the silence.“Rowan.”His tone wasn’t loud. It didn’t need to be. The authority in it alone was enough to make everyone tense.Rowan immediately released me and bowed respectfully. “My Prince. Forgive me. I was only trying to stop her from falling.”Prince Luca descended the remaining stairs with slow, measured steps, every footfall echoing through the hallway.“Leave.” His icy blue eyes never left Rowan. “And never hold her like that again.”Rowan lowered his head. “Yes, my Prince.” Before leaving, he glanced at me briefly, as if making sure I was alright. Then he disappeared down the corridor.Prince Luca finally turned toward me. His gaze fell on my hands, and his brows knitted together. Without warning, he reached for my wrist. The warmth of his fingers against my sk
