The Alpha's Princess
“I know that, but at least for now, I want to experience what it’s like to be normal. Not to worry about royal duties. To not constantly feel fear and hesitation, knowing royal guards were watching me from a distance.”
She looked at me sadly and gave me a small, bitter smile. “Whether you like it or not, you are our princess. That will never change. And before you say anything, I know you just want to live freely. Make real friends and be accepted for who you are, not because of your title. But you need to accept reality. You need to accept yourself. Accept who you are.”
“In time, Aunt Avery. In time.” I gave her a reassuring smile, and she nodded. “For now… can we keep this between us?”
