The Crown He Couldn’t Touch
Three years ago, I fled my old pack and hid among humans at Westridge University.
As graduation approached, Damian Blackwood—the man I had secretly loved for three years—suddenly confessed his feelings to me. He told me he was a wolf. He promised that as soon as we graduated, he would take me back to his pack and make me the most honored Luna.
I was overjoyed. We spent the entire night together, wild and desperate.
The next day, Damian pulled me into his arms in front of everyone and announced that we were together. I sat on his lap, blushing, certain that I was the luckiest woman alive. I was ready to tell them my true identity.
But then they suddenly switched to the Old Tongue.
"How did the bookworm taste?"
Damian answered casually. "She acts innocent on the surface, but in bed? An absolute whore."
Laughter erupted around us.
"So are you actually going to mark a… human?"
Damian frowned. "No. My size—no wolf woman could take me. I was worried that Juliette, being human herself, might think I'm too rough. So I used Aurora for practice."
"Don't let Juliette know that Aurora and I slept together. I don't want her to be upset."
What Damian didn't know was that I am the Alpha King's only daughter. And I understood every word of the Old Tongue.
I said nothing.
But when I returned home, I secretly contacted my father, the Alpha King, and agreed to return to the North and inherit the throne.
