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.

    Third POVThe king's eyes scrutinized the two men. The guards kicked them, causing them to come to their knees and fall to the ground.With a sharp look, Flora cast a glance in the direction of the two men. The two men dropped their heads in front of the king because they were so terrified of him.It was clear from their expressions that they had never expected to be caught so easily."Assassins or spies?" the king muttered.The two men lowered their heads more and began to cry."Forgive us, Your Majesty!"Flora scoffed at the men and turned her head back to the king. With a low tone, she said,"They could be the accomplices who took the pictures of us at the hotel at the time."Her words made the king raise his brow. He shifted his gaze back to her, giving her his full attention."You are right," he let out a chuckle.His eyes were shadowy and mysterious. Flora could not help but try to look deeper into them, feeling lost inside.The darkness was so deep that there was no turning bac

    Flora's POVI could see the beta was taken aback. He might have thought I was Alora, who was roaming around the hall with the title of Alpha's real daughter.But I was not her; I was the Alpha's adopted daughter who had unexpectedly become the thorn in his eye.I felt a weight in my chest just thinking about my father's actions toward me."Well, okay," Beta Joy muttered.I turned my attention to the king. He was silently observing me. His gaze on me was giving me strange vibes.They were not bad, but they were not particularly good for me.I cleared my throat and asked,"Your Majesty, can I leave?"Instead of him, Beta Joy replied,"Leave? Why are you leaving? Aren't you the one who was captured in the photos with my king?"It made me feel embarrassed. That night, because of me, he got involved in this.I now understand why he put on a mask that night. It was because he was not any ordinary man but the king himself!What would happen if he had no mask on? I would have been ruined to t

    The moment I heard my father's response, a wave of pain swept through my chest. Did he just say that he truly felt regret about adopting me?Where would I go and share my pain? The burden was too much to bear. I lowered my head and closed my eyes.Tears streamed down my cheeks, landing on the white crystal floor."I wish I had not adopted you, Flora. Maybe my reputation would not have been ruined today."I tightened my fists on my dress which was the uniform of a waitress. I did not know where my life was taking me.Never in my darkest dreams had I imagined my father saying such a thing. I had just asked that in an emotional state, but he meant what he said."Now why are you standing? Because of you, Alora got sick. Go to your room and don't come out. I don't want to see your face, you are grounded for a week."I heard my father's chilly tone. He sounded furious as if he were not the man who used to tell me how much he loved me.Did I do something so bad that he started treating me li

    I was completely taken aback. Did Zack come here to know if I said something to King Aron?The reality hit me again when I realized that Zack did not care for me but for my sister. That was the reason he came here. His arrival in my room was not to check on me but to get information from me.I let out a chuckle when I felt betrayed once again.Zack looked at me with a confused face."Have you gone insane? What makes you laugh?"Despite the fact that the fever had left my jaw numb, I laughed. Even though my headache was the worst I could bear, I shook my head."I can't believe you came here to ask me about that Alora?"Zack's confused look turned into anger. He gave me a scowl and inquired,"Just tell me if you say something to him that you shouldn't have. He is the King. We can't afford to offend him."My sleepy gaze was fixed on him. I could not help but laugh again at what he said."You seem afraid of the king."His expression darkened. Giving me a piercing look, he said,"Afraid of

    Flora's POVMy eyes swelled up as I blinked and looked around the room. I slowly sat up and let out a yawn.I checked my temperature and discovered that the fever had not subsided. I realized I had not taken any medication last night.I got out of bed and thought about going to the bathroom to wash up.In the middle of the way, I felt something piercing my feet. I hissed out in pain.I lowered my head to look at my feet. Blood was coming out of my feet. A sharp diamond pierced my bare feet.I shifted my gaze to the floor, noticing the broken necklace.The reflection of what had happened last night came to my mind. I recalled how Zack left the room after shattering the necklace that used to be close to my heart.I tried to return it to him, but he crushed it under his feet, reminding me that I was nothing in his eyes. That proposal meant nothing to him, and all of our memories were meaningless.With the pain in my feet, I moved back to the bed. Sitting on it, I lifted my feet and tried

    Zack narrowed his eyes as he looked at me. I could tell he was not pleased.Was it because I was going to expose his lovely Alora in front of my father?Was he aware of everything?I snorted in my head, thinking that this man was really careless about everything. Instead of finding out the truth, he supported a woman who came to ruin our lives. I knew she was the true heir to this pack. It was not like I wanted to rule this pack or attempt to take over my father's throne. However, how could she be so evil to me and claim that I was the main culprit in destroying my father's reputation?My eyes shifted to Alora. She appeared startled by my words. I grinned at her and asked,"Alora, why do you look so nervous?"Hearing me, both my father and Zack turned their heads to look at Alora.I could not believe how quickly she had changed her expression. Her performance was worthy of praise. The award for best actress would have been given to her long ago if she had been an actress."Why are you

    I touched my cheek with wide eyes. I did not dare to turn my head to face my father. I was shocked when I heard that Alora was not in any clips in the video.But how?That evening, the bartender told her that Alora had given him the room card. So how could she not be in the video?"Dad, please calm down. Maybe Sister misunderstood me."Like a thorn, Alora's voice pierced my ear too deeply for me to continue listening to. I looked in her direction.I was so angry that I wanted to return my father's slap by slapping her cheek.She pretended that she was a forgiving person as she tried to persuade my father to forgive me."Please, forgive her, Dad. Let it go."My father shook his head, glaring at me. "You are so kind, my daughter. But this woman..."He pointed his finger at my nose while growling at me."She turned out to be a snake. I had spent years raising a snake. She came to bite me, reminding me that I should not have brought her home in the first place."My heart felt broken and s

    The king's question caught me off guard. I immediately turned my head to look at him to deny the fact.However, when I turned my face, my nose brushed against his. For a brief moment, I found myself out of breath. The tip of his nose was cold, giving me goosebumps.I looked into his eyes with my wide eyes.The pair of dark eyes were mysterious. It was as if there were so many secrets hidden inside. It could be pleasant or painful, shocking or regrettable.I did not know how long I could keep looking at them, but I could not take my gaze away."Are you trying to find a new way to get close to me?"I was dumbfounded. A new way? When did I use a technique to get close to him? Everything was just a coincidence between us.Feeling that he was misunderstanding me, I immediately pushed him and moved away.Within a few seconds, I realized what I had done.I got up and turned around, then gasped. I slammed my palm against my mouth."Did I just push the Almighty king?" I muttered to myself."Wh

    I quickly moved my hand away. He glanced at my face with a pair of narrowed eyes as if he was observing my expression.I lowered my head while sitting beside him."Your Majesty, I heard you are eyeing land in our pack. You are welcome to ask our assistant," one of the men spoke out.The tension in the air eased a little as the man broke the silence. Others nodded their heads as they fully paid their attention to King Aron.'He is eyeing some land?' I thought, fixing my gaze on the floor.I was waiting to hear more. I wondered if the land was somehow related to my father's company."Do you think I need your assistance?" Aroan asked, sipping his drink.The man who had spoken out earlier felt nervous after hearing Aron. It was clear that there was no way they could turn the king's favor toward them until the king himself wanted it.The other man on the left couch cleared his throat. "Your Majesty, you know we are the legitimate businessmen to have your favor. If we get a chance, we will

    Aron's jaw tensed. His brows furrowed as if he was enraged. Anger flickered in his eyes.I was afraid he did not like how close we were.I could feel the intensity of his silent rage. The wind blew through the window, touching my face and brushing my hair against his face.He inhaled and closed his eyes then turned his face to the other side.It was as if the wind had mixed with my scent and entered his nostrils, and he seemed to dislike it.I felt embarrassed and quickly moved away."I—I am sorry, Your Majesty," I said in a very low tone.This time, others did not hear me. When they saw my reaction, they began laughing at me."Silly girl! She could not wait and fell straight to the King?"I wanted to just dig my own grave and bury myself. I had felt humiliated before, but this time felt different."You don't need to laugh. If your wives had been here, they would have done more than that."I froze when I heard King Aron's voice next to me. His words were dark and sarcastic. However, n

    "Your Majesty, please forgive her. She is naive," Alpha William said, drawing me closer to him.I blinked, looking down at William's hand. He held my arm tightly and whispered to me,"Apologize properly, Flora. He is the king capable of killing you here."I got chills just thinking about it. I shook my head, realizing that it was not true. The king would not kill me. He had rescued me several times."Alpha William, did you come here to sabotage our opportunity? We are here to greet the Alpha King. If you want to apologize, have your woman serve the king."Alpha William nodded as he heard one of the businessmen speak. He dragged me towards the couches."What are you doing?" I asked him.“Stay quiet.”He approached the couch where King Aron was sitting. I took a glance at Aron. He was looking at something with concentration. I followed his gaze and found him looking at William's hand, which was holding my arm.For some unknown reason, I did not want the king to misunderstand my connecti

    I did not know why, but just hearing about the king made my heart skip a beat.'The king? King Aron is here!'I turned my head, trying to locate him. But King Aron was nowhere to be found."Where is he?"I heard Alpha William asking his assistant about King Aron. I paid attention to their conversation."He is in the lounge area. I heard all the big heads of this pack are there to please him."Alpha William rose from the chair and said,"Great! We should go there to greet him."I stared at Alpha William. He seemed to be very excited to meet the Alpha King. Who would not be? Having the king here in the pack was a blessing for the Alphas. They were eager to form an alliance with him. An alliance with the Alpha King ensured that no one would dare to attack their companies."Flora, let's go and greet the king," Alpha William said to me.I was taken aback. He did not address me by my first name this time, which was surprising. But the main issue for me was that I would have to face the king

    "Why are you not sitting?"Hearing his question, I gave him a look and asked, "If you leave my hand, then I can sit, Mr. Bentley."He glanced at my hand and let out a chuckle. "Oh, yeah. You are right."He let go of my hand, and I quickly pulled it back. I sighed, fighting the urge to leave the restaurant.'I came here for the deal. So I have to deal with him,' I told myself.I sat down on the chair across from him. I noticed him motioning for the manager to leave. The manager gave him a nod as he left our table.My gaze remained fixed on him. He was Alpha William Bentley. He was his father's sole heir to run the company. According to what I learned about him, he was not very good at business. However, his father had built a big company, and he had become in charge of it. He had the resources that my father required for his business. It might be useful for our pack as well."Miss Flora, I heard you have been sick for the past few months. Are you alright now?"Alpha William's question

    It was the day of the pack meeting with Alpha William.I expected the meeting to take place in the morning at our company. However, I was surprised to learn that the meeting would be held in the evening at a restaurant.Who decided to hold a pack meeting at night? Not just a simple meeting, but a discussion about collaboration!I ignored the fact and started looking for a dress for tonight.I was moving the dresses one by one when I heard a knock at the door."The door is unlocked," I shouted.Two maids entered my bedroom. When I turned my head, I saw them holding bags and jewelry boxes.I frowned at them, shut the door to my closet, and walked towards them."What are these?" Glancing at the bags, I inquired.They put the bags and jewelry boxes on the bed and turned to face me."Alpha sent them for you. He said you could select and wear them tonight."I was dumbfounded. "Did Dad send these?"They responded by nodding their heads. I was not sure why I needed to look my best for a meeti

    I was annoyed by the thought of causing such a disturbance to the king. I glared at Zack, saying,"If you dare to disturb the king, then why not?"Zack was taken by surprise. He had not expected me to say that. He might have expected me to beg him not to tell the king."What's happening here?"My father, Alpha Joshua, had just entered the packhouse and noticed what was going on.To enlighten him about everything, Alora rushed over and said,"Dad, Sister lost her mind. We found out who the mask—"I interrupted Alora and said, "Dad, Zack has been taking herbs and tonics from me for free."There was an unexpected silence in the pack house, which was exactly what I needed.Zack's eyes widened as he stared at me in shock. What did he think? I was kidding with him when I said I would tell my father about it?Alora shook her hand and tried to distract Dad. "No, Dad. Nothing is like what she is saying. She was just helping Zack's mom."My father's brows furrowed as he turned his head to Zack.

    'Why would he look at me?' I thought, shaking my head.The car drove away from the pack house, passing through the steel gate when the guards opened it upon seeing the car leave.I sighed and turned around to approach the front gate.However, when I looked at the door, I was taken aback.Zack was standing by the door, his gaze fixed on me."Oh, crap! Did he see the king?"I started walking towards the door, ignoring his gaze. When I was about to step foot into the pack house, Zack asked,"Where have you been? Where is your other shoe?” His gaze shifted to my feet, and he looked at me in disgust.I looked down at my own feet. I was so caught up in thinking about the king that I forgot I was only wearing one heel. I was limping to the pack house with one heel!I took off the heel and tossed it to the side. The other pair had been lost, so it was no longer useful. I stepped forward to the door instead of answering his question.Zack grabbed my wrist and turned me around to face him.I gl
