When my eyes met that pair of violet eyes, I felt my heart race even more.What was this man doing here, alone in a room?"I... I..." I stammered, taking a few steps back."What do you have in your hands?" he asked angrily, snatching the small diamond crown from my hands. "This belongs to my sister!" he growled, irritated."Your sister?" I asked, stunned."Yes, Cassandra Connery is my sister! And you think you can just steal from her and get away with it?" He stepped forward, his hands firmly holding the crown. His eyes were darkened, filled with restrained fury.I was cornered. "I... I didn't know..." My voice trembled, aware that my excuses were useless. The shine of the diamonds seemed to wither before the intensity of his gaze."You didn't know?" he mocked. "You knew very well what you were doing, didn't you?" He gripped my wrist tightly, his fingers digging into my skin
**POV Eleanor**There would be no better moment than this party. People were wearing expensive and extravagant things to attract attention and impress those around them. Amber was in the ballroom, planning to steal some watches, bracelets, rings—anything of value that could be used as an advance payment for the guard. Amber had told me that he only accepted full payment; he feared that after I disappeared, I wouldn't deliver the remaining money. If the Alpha discovered it was him, he would need to flee far away to stay alive.I passed between two ladies wearing tiger fur coats and sparkling necklaces. Alright, think, Eleanor! I wasn’t good at stealing, and this was the first time I was doing it. Rubies are worth about ten thousand dollars each, and small diamonds between twenty and thirty thousand. I just needed something large and adorned with gold. Stealing one big item was better than taking several different pieces; the chance of getting caught would be much higher. The last thief
**POV ELEANOR**"Who are you?" I asked, mesmerized by those violet eyes. I couldn't stop staring at him."That doesn't matter. You're holding my prey. Hand it over!" he said harshly, trying to take the rabbit from my hands."What do you plan to do with it?" I stopped him from taking it, while the rabbit jumped from my lap and hid behind me, trembling with fear, as if begging me to protect it."That's none of your business. Just give me the animal!" he growled impatiently, his eyes darkening to a more intense shade of purple."No!" I replied firmly, pushing him back."Do you have any idea who you're talking to? That animal is mine; I hunted it first. If you want one, find your own!" he retorted harshly, his nerves and veins bulging on his face."I won't let you kill it. It's just a defenseless rabbit. How dare you hunt on the king's land?" I questioned, filling my chest with courage to confront him.He let out a cold, cruel laugh. "The king? The king doesn't care about this; he's kille
**POV Eleanor**Some days later...I was nervous, pacing back and forth when I received a message on my phone from Amber."I found someone willing to help you. See you at the ball tonight. Be discreet!" she wrote.My heart raced instantly. It had been two weeks since I had any news from her, and now there were only thirty minutes left before the ball started. I was almost ready. The maid was finishing curling my hair. I opted for a simple light green dress that accentuated my eyes and was discreet enough not to draw much attention."Finish quickly, she needs to be ready in twenty minutes. The Alpha wants everyone in the main hall," the head maid ordered, and the maid hurried to finalize the last touches on my hair, placing only a few delicate ornaments."Are you sure you don't want anything else? Not even a diamond?" the maid asked, thinking I looked too simple."Don't worry, I'll just wear this!" I picked up the onyx necklace and put it around my neck. The stone was beautiful and per
**Alpha King POV**One week later..."How are the preparations for the ball?" I asked my beta while finishing organizing the papers on the desk."Everything is going according to plan. The flowers should arrive in two days, and the kitchen already has the necessary food stock to prepare a bountiful banquet," he replied, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "Have you decided which girls will be allowed to go?" He raised an eyebrow, insinuating something."Eleanor... I haven't decided for sure yet. Katy is bothering me, but I'm not going to let her go. With her temper, she'll definitely cause trouble." I shrugged, indifferent, while he chuckled quietly. "What's so funny?" I asked, looking up at him."Nothing, I just find it curious how Eleanor always finds a way to fit into your life. I heard rumors that she might be able to get pregnant..." He spoke seriously, adjusting his glasses."Nonsense," I retorted coldly. "She's like all the other women in my harem, who only serve on
**POV: Eleanor**"How are you feeling today?" the doctor asked again, noting the information on his clipboard."Well... my vision is improving, but I still see blurry from a distance," I replied timidly, shrinking a bit."I'll have glasses made for you; they'll help stabilize your vision," the Alpha intervened, carefully analyzing the doctor's consultation.The test results came back early this morning, and the Alpha insisted on waking me up to inform me personally. The results were favorable: I could indeed get pregnant. Since my transformation, my body had started releasing hormones, indicating that I was healthy and fertile. Although I had my doubts, I felt that perhaps this was my wolf's power manifesting in a subtle way.For a few days now, I had noticed that my healing was faster. Bruises and cuts that used to take weeks to disappear now vanished in just a day. It was a small but significant detail, making me curious about what else might be changing inside me."You seem to be r
**POV: Katy**"Impossible!" I screamed, feeling my voice reverberate off the walls. "That bitch managed to catch the Alpha's attention after all this time! How is that possible?" I was furious, and my sister Gaby was trying, unsuccessfully, to calm me down."Katy, please try to calm down," she said, her soft voice contrasting with my anger. "Let's think clearly. You need to calm down; you still haven't had your stitches removed, and the doctor said you need to rest!" Gaby pleaded for me to go back to bed, but I was tired of staying in bed for so long.These past few days had been hell. I had to be away for ten days because of my health, and during that time, the Alpha visited me a few times. But I found out that he had implemented a new system in the palace, where everyone would have the chance to sleep with him at least once a month. The ones chosen were Eleanor and Rachel, but to my surprise, that wretch shocked everyone by showing that she could get pregnant, and I needed to find a
POV ELEANORI opened my eyes in horror, tasting the metallic tang of blood in my mouth, my heart pounding frantically in my chest. The Alpha was so close, so dominant, that I could hardly breathe. His hands pressed against my neck with force, suffocating me.And then, as I looked down and saw the blood dripping between my legs, a wave of panic washed over me. "I'm menstruating!" I screamed, feeling the taste of desperation in my voice. It was the first thing that came to my mind, the only excuse that occurred to me in that desperate moment. "I'm menstruating! With heavy bleeding, and the doctor told me that women during active menstrual flow cannot get pregnant," I cried out, terrified. He immediately released me, and I fell to the ground, finally able to breathe."For how long?" he asked firmly, his eyes narrowing as he searched for any bloodstains on my dress. I quickly knelt down at his feet."Yesterday... my period started last night. It was sudden, I didn't have time to warn you.
**Eleanor's POV**"Ten minutes to midnight, the alpha king is waiting for you in the room!" The maid announced, tightening my corset to accentuate my curves in the dress. "Put more blush on her, she's too pale, and add more red lipstick to her lips. That color enhances her hair," the head maid ordered, scrutinizing every inch of my body with a critical eye.My hair, usually loose and wild, had been carefully brushed and styled into an elaborate updo. The red curls were twisted and secured, cascading over one of my shoulders, while tiny strands of gold had been interwoven into the locks, giving them a subtle and luxurious sheen. The accessories were minimal but carefully chosen by the head maid. A delicate necklace with a diamond pendant rested on my neck, while small diamond earrings adorned my ears. Each piece had been selected to complement, not overpower, the natural beauty and splendor of the dress.I wore a silk dress with gold-thread embroidery, tight-fitting with a huge slit on
