After that, everything changed. She was heartbroken and betrayed. Her father also turned his back on her. But fate had other plans for Flora. She came across the mighty Alpha king, Aron Elton. People were scared to approach him. He was the most ruthless man every Alphas had ever met. Unexpectedly, every time Flora ran into him, a spark ignited inside her. Little did she know that their paths were destined to cross.

Flora's POV

“Be careful!” I cried as I scurried toward the maid, who was on the verge of falling down the stairs.

Fortunately, I reached her in time. She looked up at me with wide, startled eyes. "Thank you so much, Miss. You are so kind,” she said, bowing deeply.

Pleased, I smiled warmly. “Of course. You’re all like family to me.”

“Miss Flora,” called a house servant as she hurried over, holding my phone. “It’s Kayla. She's been trying to reach you.”

I accepted the phone and barely got it to my ear before Kayla’s voice burst through the line. “Where have you been? I’ve been calling forever!”

“Sorry. I’ve been busy overseeing the decorations and everything else for tonight’s celebration.”

I was supervising the preparations for the ceremony marking the return of my fiancé, Zack Larkin, the fiercest warrior in the East Hallow Pack. Though my father was the alpha of our pack, Zack had contributed the most to its success. He made me so proud; I couldn't begin to express how much I loved him.

“Oh, come on, Flora,” Kayla said. “It’s just Zack coming back from the border. It’s not like it’s the alpha king.”

I froze mid-step. “The alpha king?” I asked, my brow furrowed. Why would she be mentioning the alpha king?

“Yeah! Guess what? Word is, he’s coming to visit our pack soon.”

Aron Elton, the alpha of all alphas, ruler over countless realms, was coming to visit our pack?

“They say he’s incredibly attractive,” Kayla added in a singsong voice. “The dreamiest of dreamy men will be here! Can you imagine?”

Dreamy? Maybe. Ruthless? Definitely. The stories were legendary.

After a few more words of excitement from her, we ended the call, and I got back to the preparations, while thinking about the news she’d conveyed.

My loyalty was to Zack, so other men, no matter how dreamy, didn’t interest me. I also didn’t understand why so many women seemed to fall for this alpha king, considering his reputation for cruelty.

Regardless, I had never met him, and frankly, I didn’t care to. Why would I want to bother when I already had the man of my dreams, a man I’d fallen for at first sight? At the time, I was sixteen; he was nineteen. Now, I couldn’t believe how quickly three years had flown by. Perhaps people lose track of time when they’re in love?

We weren’t fated mates, but we didn’t care about the mate bond. We had chosen each other and, before he departed, Zack left me with a promise that echoed in my heart. “When I get back, I’ll give you the biggest wedding.”

That was three months ago, and it was the longest we’d ever been apart. My father had sent him to deal with rebel rogues at the border, but not before he approved our engagement. As the pack’s Beta, Zack had fulfilled his duty with honor, and now, he was finally coming home.

“Flora.” One of the older maids caught my attention. “You’d better go and get ready,” she said with a warm smile, while tapping her wrist.

I nodded and headed to my bedroom suite. After a shower, I approached the gown I had chosen for the evening. As I was about to touch it, footsteps sounded outside my room. I assumed it was Milani, my lady’s maid, who would no doubt urge me to hurry.

As she entered, I smiled. “I’ll change in a minute. Stop rushing me.”

But Milani wasn’t wearing her usual smile. Her face was flushed, her expression tense.

I frowned, turning to face her fully. “What’s wrong?”

She hesitated, then bowed her head. “Miss... Zack is waiting for you in the lobby of the packhouse.”

“Zack is back?” I breathed, excitement bubbling within me.

I was about to change when Milani interrupted again. “Miss...”

Something in her voice made me pause. Her gaze flicked to mine—worried, almost anxious.

“What is it?” I asked, my heart sinking slightly.

She sighed before speaking carefully. “Zack brought a woman with him.”

Her words hit me like a punch to the stomach. My breath caught, and my heart skipped a beat.

“A... woman?” I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper.

Where had this woman come from? And what was her role in his life? “Maybe she’s just a friend,” I muttered, forcing myself to stay calm. Still, I rushed to the lobby, where the sight of Zack with a petite woman nestled in his arms brought me to a screeching halt.

My chest tightened. Please don’t let this be what it looks like.

Zack saw me, his face lighting up with a smile. He approached and took my hands in his. “Flora,” he said gently, “I found your sister.”

I stared at him, stunned. “My... sister?” I wasn’t aware I had one.

I’d been adopted, yes, but my father had never mentioned another child. Nonetheless, as my gaze shifted to him, tears and recognition shone in his eyes.

He approached her with open arms. “I finally found you, my dear,” he said, embracing her tightly.

His joy left me speechless as he turned to me. “Take care of Alora, Flora,” he said, his voice filled with emotion. “She has suffered greatly. We need to make it up to her.”

I nodded, still reeling from the revelation.

Then Alora turned to me, her voice trembling. “Sister, you’re so beautiful and capable. I’m so grateful to be here...”

I was about to comfort her, but Zack’s hands slipped from mine.

I froze as he moved to Alora, pulling her into his arms.

“It’s not your fault,” he murmured, patting her back. “This is your home now.”

I stood there, watching him wipe her tears and offer her soft words of comfort. “Welcome to the East Hallow Pack,” he said warmly.

I took a shaky breath, a sinking feeling in my chest. Something told me my life was about to change.

Flora's POVIt had been two weeks since Alora joined our pack, and the whole pack seemed to revolve around her now. But that wasn’t what bothered me. What really got under my skin were the comparisons people started to make between us.Alora was well-mannered and softhearted, traits that seemed to endear her to everyone. Even Milani couldn’t stop singing her praises.I wasn’t jealous. Truly, I was happy for her. She was finally getting the care and attention she had missed out on for so long.But my father’s behavior toward me had shifted, and that hurt. Before Alora’s arrival, I had been the apple of his eye, his cherished daughter. Now, it was as if I no longer existed. He ignored my words, my presence, as though I had never been his beloved child.And Zack... Zack had grown distant. I didn’t know what had changed, but these past few weeks, he seemed so far away.I had returned to my room earlier than usual after dinner because I wanted to do something to entice Zack, to remind him

Flora's POVI wiped the corners of my eyes, staring at Zack’s phone in my hands. Alora’s message echoed in my mind: “She didn’t find out, did she?”What did it mean? What was Zack hiding from me?The bathroom door creaked open, and Zack stepped out, a towel slung over his shoulder. His eyes immediately landed on the phone in my hand. He rushed over, snatching it from my grasp.I froze, stunned by his reaction. “Alora sent you a text,” I said, watching him.Zack nodded, glancing at the screen. His fingers moved quickly as he typed a reply.For a moment, I just stared at him. Then I asked, “Are you hiding something from me?”He froze mid-step, turning toward me with a hard expression.“You checked my phone?” he asked.I ignored his question, repeating mine. “What are you hiding, Zack?”He let out a sigh and replied, “Your birthday is coming up soon. Alora and I were planning a surprise for you. We didn’t want you to find out.”I studied him for a moment, his words hanging between us. My

Flora's POVFor a second, I stared at my phone. I so rarely received videos, and the image on the screen was nothing but a blur—until I clicked on it. The video started, and all I could see was Zack’s face amid a sea of nakedness. My hands trembled as my eyes widened. My Zack… with another woman? How could it be? Tears welled and then streamed, and I felt like screaming.I so badly wanted to see who the woman was, but her face was turned away. Zack’s was unmistakable, though. The man I loved more than anything had cheated on me.A sob broke from my chest, and then another. I cried for a while—who knew how long—and then called my best friend, Kayla, as soon as I felt I could get some words out.She picked up on the third ring, her voice sharp with irritation. “So you finally have time to call me, huh?”I winced. I’d been so busy over the past few weeks that I hadn’t spoken to her.“K-Kayla...” I managed through a sob.Her tone shifted immediately. “Flora? What’s wrong?”“H-he”—I took a

Flora's POVPanicking, I turned toward the door, ready to leave. I put my hand on the knob, and heard voices outside the door.“Oh my God, is the alpha’s daughter really in a room with another man?”“How shameful!”The voices grew closer as they spoke. Reporters? Or a crowd hungry for gossip? Either way, they were gathering right outside the door.I froze as rage bubbled inside me with the realization that this had been Alora’s doing. She had sent me to this stranger’s room, knowing exactly what would happen. She probably tipped off the people outside, too; how else would they know I was there?Why would Alora doing this to me? I’ve never done anything to hurt her.My mind raced, trying to come up with a way out of this situation. Before I came up with any good ideas, the man said, “Interesting,” in a curious fashion. I turned to find him donning a mask that concealed the top half of his face. Then he approached me, and before I think to could react, grabbed my hand. The contact sent

Flora's POVAs time passed, I became the infamous outcast of the pack—the lowest among them all. People whispered about me whenever they saw me. The news of my supposed affair with a stranger had spread like wildfire, and I had become the pack’s scandal. I could live with their judgment, but my father’s cruelty, along with Zack’s, was unbearable. My father, who once cherished me, now scolded me at every opportunity. His distant demeanor had turned into open hostility, as if he detested me. Zack, on the other hand, acted as if I didn’t exist. The day he broke up with me, I moved out of our shared bedroom—not by choice but because he demanded it. Worse, it was Milani, not him, who informed me that the servants had already moved my belongings to another room.When I arrived, I was horrified to find a small, shabby room, so filthy it looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned in months. When I asked the maids for help cleaning it, they ignored me. Were these not the same people I once thou

Flora's POVThe night of the Annual Werewolf Ball had finally arrived. It was the day when members of other packs gathered to celebrate in unity.Everyone seemed thrilled—except me. I had meticulously planned every detail of the event. Yet my father had taken all the credit and handed it to Alora, telling everyone she was the one responsible for the flawless execution. Once the alpha’s daughter, I had been reduced to a mere waitress for the evening, hardly able to believe my father would humiliate me in such a way.As the guests began to arrive, I donned a mask that covered half my face and retreated into a shadowed corner, avoiding their curious stares.Then Zack and Alora entered the ballroom, holding hands and smiling broadly.I clenched my fists, my gaze burning holes into the floor as I forced myself to look away. I didn’t want to waste another thought on Zack.But my father’s voice boomed over the loudspeaker, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.“Good evening, ladies

I really wanted to thank this "stranger," but just as I was about to speak, Alora’s voice cut through the air. “Look at her,” she said with a sarcastic grin. “There are so many men around my sister.” Her words were sharp, designed to humiliate me further.The man beside me turned his glare on her, his eyes blazing with fury. “What did you say?” he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.Alora faltered, clearly taken aback by the force of his presence. Even my father seemed unnerved. His face paled, and he murmured something under his breath as he stared at the man.“Who is he?” Alora asked, her voice trembling as she addressed my father. “Did we invite him?”I was surprised to find my father Alpha Joshua’s eyes widened, panic flickering across his face.Before he could respond, a soldier in a royal uniform stepped forward. “King Aron,” the soldier said, bowing deeply. “I’ve been looking for you.”King Aron?!The most powerful, crucial Alpha King, Aron Elliott?I froze in my place.

Flora's POVThe room felt tense. Alora's betrayal was clear, and her acting was obvious. I couldn't believe what was happening.The waiter quickly pointed at Alora and said, “It’s her! She was the one who told me to do this.”The king paused. Everyone turned to look at Alora. The waiter dropped to his knees, hands clasped in apology.“I was only following her orders, King. Please forgive me…”Everyone now suspected Alora. She saw this and started crying. She looked at our father, Alpha Joshua, and Zack. Her tears were fake.Alora watched me, standing behind the powerful man who protected me, her trembling fingertips digging into her palm. "It was her, she framed me..." She started, but when her gaze met King Aaron’s, she swallowed the words and fell silent. Then, she turned to Zack, her eyes wide with false innocence, her expression full of pity."Did you really send Flora to the hotel room?" Zack’s sharp voice cut through the tension. He furrowed his brows, glaring at Alora. I wat

My wolf’s senses were sharper than most. My hearing was exceptional, and my instincts were finely tuned, as if I could feel the slightest shift in the air around me. As I moved silently through the shadows, I heard the faintest rustle behind me.A chill swept over me. Someone was approaching. I guessed they were sent by Alora.Without hesitation, I spun around just in time to see two figures emerge from the darkness, their hands raised, ready to strike. Before they could even react, I was on them. I moved with the precision of a predator—swift, lethal. They froze, caught off guard by my speed.They had underestimated me, thinking they could overpower a lone woman. But I was no ordinary woman, and certainly no ordinary wolf. I could hear their breathing, feel their movements before they even made them.They lunged at me, hands outstretched, trying to seize my neck, but I was already gone—too quick, too elusive. One of them made a desperate attempt, throwing a punch directly at my face.
