Regina’s POV“W—What princess? I don’t understand…”Melany stuttered in panic.“This is my daughter-in-law, Regina…She is no princess. Just a goddamn orphan that my son brought home a year ago…Maybe you had the wrong person, Sir Hover…”I breathed out a long sigh.I was suddenly tired of listening to Hover going over the same story that he told Angel a moment before, explaining to them that I had kept my identity a secret and that I was actually Ever Moon Pack’s Alpha’s sister.Honestly, what difference did that make?He could tell them that I was a princess all he wanted, and he could force them to respect me, but that didn’t change the fact that I was really just a prisoner here.“Hover…Don’t,” I muttered.He looked at me, “I can make her apologize to you, Princess Regina.”“Oh yeah?” I let out a sarcastic laugh, “But can you set me free? And give me my freedom back? A true princess doesn’t deserve to have her hands tied up behind her back.”He stood on his spot stiffly in silence.
Regina’s POVNigel slipped his hand into my shirt and worked it all the way up to cup my breast.My stomach swirled with disgust as he did that.I would rather be licked by a snake than have him touch me.“Look at me…” he breathed heavily with a grin, “I am fucking a godman princess… fate really treats me well…”No, you wouldn’t.I said icily internally.I wouldn’t let you have it.He bent down to kiss me on my lips. Yet I avoided him.“I want you to please me,” I said in a condescending sort of way. “With your tongue.”He froze.And then he burst out laughing abruptly, “Wow you really know how to boss people around, don’t you? But I have got to say…you look pretty hot like this.”He moved his hands to my jeans and undid the buttons.“Anything you want, Your Highness.” he grinned and buried his head between my legs.And that was the moment I had been waiting for.I abruptly lifted my legs off the bed and wrapped them around his neck and clamped! He parted his lips to gasp but I didn’t
Regina’s POV…Did I want to know?Did he even need to ask?!“YES!”I cried, half-anxious and half-excited, and grabbed Hover’s hand urgently, “How is he? How is Gray? Tell me!”I could still remember the way Gray looked at me when we last saw each other, the way his back gradually disappeared into the distance when he left for the border.We hadn’t had time to talk about that kiss yet.If I knew that it was my last chance, I wouldn’t agree to wait for him to come back to talk.Hover smiled faintly, “He is fine. Alpha Gray is still at the border. But I think that he has heard about the news of you missing.”“Then has he tried looking for me?” I asked eagerly.“No. Your mother let everyone believe that you eloped with Nigel.”…Connie.I clenched my fists angrily.I knew that she was behind that kidnap!I didn’t know why yet but apparently he wanted me gone.“Even so, Gray will come and find me.” I said firmly, “He knew that I had made up my mind to leave Nigel. He would see that there w
Gray’s POVUnder the silver moonlight, I sat on a huge rock outside the military camp.The gentle evening breeze sweeping through my hair as I carefully carved a wooden doll. I made sure that each stroke of my knife was precise.Gradually, the delicate shape of my creation was formed—It was her, Regina.My thoughts were consumed by her. The distant sounds of the camp faded away, leaving me in a cocoon of quiet reflection.I developed this habit almost 10 years ago, when both of us were just kids. She would ask me to bring her present every time I set off to the battlefield. But what decent presents could I possibly find near the border?So I started carving wooden dolls that looked exactly like her. Regina loved it. She would get a new one every time I returned to the palace from border. Before she turned 17, she already had an impressive collection.My hobby was shut down after she met that filthy son of a bitch Nigel. With her gone, I could no longer concentrate. And it seemed meani
Gray’s POVI let the other generals in charge of the frontline and left with a group of my best trusted men. We traveled day and night, and managed to arrived Shadow Valley Pack in 3 days time.I stepped out of the car and took in the sight of Shadow Valley Pack’s capital city for the first time.The place was a stark contrast to anything I’d ever seen.Tall, ancient trees formed a natural barrier around the city, their twisted branches creating an almost impenetrable wall. The buildings were made of dark stone and wood that seemed to merge seamlessly with the surrounding forest.The air was thick with the rusty smell of blood, like a thousand livestock just got slaughtered in the city. I could smell fear and horror in the air.In the distance, there was a grand castle-like shadow rising above the treetops, its towers reaching for the sky, like one of those structures that trapped a princess in it.My heart ached. Was this where Regina had been living in for the past year?It was so d
Regina’s POV“No. Tell him to go.” I said sternly to the servant.I gave another glance at the second floor with a look of disgust.According to the servant, Alpha Torres was here to see me.All the second-floor windows were made of one-way glasses. I couldn’t see who was behind the glass.But it was probably for the best.I didn’t want to see his sinister-looking face anyway.“GO!” I snapped, scaring the servant away.Nigel was riding on a horse by myside. He let out a sigh and said, “Alpha Torres is still our Alpha. You don’t need to be so rude to him…”“He is YOUR Alpha.” I said with a snort, “You can be his lap dog all you want, but I am not lowering my head to him. Unlike you, I am a noble.”I caught a flash of anger on Nigel’s face.Yet he quickly composed himself and said, “Do you want to ran another lap?”“I am tired. Need some rest.”I kicked at my horse running to the side. Nigel tried to help me get down the horse, but I ignored his assistance coldly and jumped off by mysel
Regina’s POVNigel was gone for a long while. So long that I eventually tired of waiting and left the stable myself.There were a few soldiers guarding by the entrance. They hastily turned over and bowed to me, “Princess Regina.”“Where is Nigel?”“He has something to deal with. He asked us to drive you home. The car is waiting.”I gave a glance at the car await and suddenly got an irritating feeling at heart.I would have to face Melany if I went back home right now. She didn’t dare to raise her voice at me now. But whenever she got the chance, she would nag into my ears about how wonderful her son was and how stupid I would be if I didn’t return to Nigel’s side.I couldn’t get a moment of peace in that house.“I don’t want to go home. Take me somewhere else.” I said to the soldiers, frowning.The soldiers exchanged a hesitated look with each other. Then one of them said:“Your highness, Sir Nigel and Alpha Torres made it perfect clear that you shouldn’t wonder around, especially not
Regina's POVI swayed on my feet, my body trembling with terror and dread.Gray…Gray was poisoned? And most importantly, he was poisoned by MY family ring? But how was this possible?!I walked up to him, stumbling along the way. I wanted to see if he was OK. His face was so pale. He was lying there, with his eyes shut, his chest not moving at all…almost like he was already dead…“What are you doing!” Dorain rushed over and shoved me aside, “Stay away from him! Haven’t you hurt him enough?!”I fell to the ground. Tears streamed down my cheeks at this very moment.“IT WASN’T ME!!!” I snapped my head up, crying. “Why would I hurt my own brother?! I didn’t even know that he was here!”“Maybe because you didn’t want Gray to drag you home?” Dorian gritted, advancing onto me, “You eloped! Brought shame to the entire Ever Moon Pack! You were so afraid of the punishment you might face that you murdered your own brother! I didn’t know you were such an evil person!”I shook my head hastily, brea
