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
Zack's POVI stormed out of Flora's room, furious. I thought she was easygoing because she had never talked to me like this before. However, with each passing day, she became a more disrespectful woman.I had no idea how she had transformed into this. I always thought she was a polite and dignified woman. Until one day, I realized how wrong I was. She was actually deceiving me.My blood was boiling just thinking about the videos and photos I had seen that night. I was so angry with her that I wanted to punish her severely. She deserved the treatment she was getting right now.How could she sleep with that masked man while I was busy working for her father's pack company?Turning left, which led me to my bedroom, I walked toward the door.I was angry with her because, instead of pleading for forgiveness, she accused me of cheating on her!How could she even do that?When exactly did I cheat on her?Never!As I walked into the bedroom, I noticed Alora sitting on the bed, using her cell
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
I returned to my room in a sulky mood. I did not understand why no one could see how evil Alora was. She lied so naturally that anyone could fall for it.But one thing that was bothering me was the warning she had given me. What did she mean by kicking me out of the house?It was a pack house, and I, the Alpha's daughter, whether I was an adopted or biological child, should stay with my family here. Why would my dad kick me out of the house?And who was Zack to kick me out?To me, he was nothing. Not after everything he had done over the past few days. He not only supported Alora instead of me, but he also cheated on me.If I let go of his cheating that I had seen in the video, what about the things he was doing right now? He decided to marry the sister of his ex-girlfriend.How shameless!Late at night, my best friend, Kayla, called me as she was worried for me. I told her that the video had nothing but humiliation for me.She was upset and asked for forgiveness for being unable to a
The guard gave me an odd expression. He gave a sigh and muttered on his phone,“Yes, Alpha. Alright, Alpha. I am going to send her inside.”He glanced at the phone as if my father had already disconnected the call. He shifted his gaze to me and shook his head."Your dad is mad at you. Why are you doing this? Why can't you just be inside the house?"I stared at him with a dumbfounded look. He was a familiar guard who always bowed to me when I went to or entered the pack house. Now he was lying to my father about me and pretending to be a nice guy."I can not believe it," I said to him, yanking away the other guard's hand.I was defeated. There was no way for me to win. With a defeated look, I turned to the front door of the pack house and went back inside.The maid who had tried to stop me earlier gave me a mocking grin. It seemed as if she was saying,"I told you that you can not leave the house."I was angry at my own father for doing this to me. I went to my bedroom, losing myself.
I turned my attention to the kettle. I waited for the tea to boil perfectly because my father preferred dark liquor.I turned the stove off and poured two cups of tea.I did not want to go into Alora's room. So when I left the kitchen, I began looking for other maids.To my surprise, there were no maids there.'Okay, so I will go put the cup somewhere and then rush out. I don't want to talk to the woman who wanted me to leave this house,' I told myself and headed to the way where her bedroom and my father's study room were.I had no intention of fighting today. I just wanted my father's love back. I wanted my life to be one in which my father would not look back and say that he regretted adopting me.As I made my way to Alora's bedroom, I thought about the previous evening. I felt like every day was turning into hell.I came to a stop outside Alora's door. I reached up to knock on the door, but when I heard Alora's voice, my hand froze."Zack"Was Zack inside? I was surprised to find
I could not believe what she was saying. Why would Alpha William like me or want to marry me?I pushed her with all of my strength. Why was I so vulnerable? I did not have my wolf's strength like hers.The push caused Alora to move from the bed. She held a wall and leaned her back against it.She chuckled when she saw my shocked expression."What? Don't you already know about it? You have been planning this for a long time."I frowned at her. "When did I plan? What are you talking about?"She folded her arms against her chest and replied,"At first, I thought letting you go was not a good idea. I won't lie. I was envious when I heard Alpha William, our pack's wealthiest Alpha, wanted you for himself. Though I am with Zack now, that doesn't mean I would let you be with any Alpha. I believe you should marry another orphan like yourself who will not hold a high rank."Tears could not stop flowing down my face as I stared at her. She had a deep-seated hatred for me. Why? Just because his
"No!"I shook my head many times. I could not fall for the king.“Kayla, you have asked that question before. I am going to tell you again. There is nothing like that.”Kayla did not talk about that matter again. But I noticed doubts in her eyes.I could not help but sigh. All of my interactions with King Aron came to mind. I bit my bottom lip as I remembered how he asked me to go to him if I needed help.After spending some time, Kayla left the pack house. I lay down on my bed, staring at the ceiling."His arm is wounded. Who dared to attack the king?" I murmured.I was deep in thought when my bedroom door opened.When I turned my head, I saw my father, Alpha Joshua.I tried to sit up quickly, but hissed in pain. I nearly forgot my right leg was bandaged."I heard you got your leg bandaged," My father said, coming over to the bed.He helped me sit up and took a seat on the edge of the bed. He rubbed my hair and uttered,"When will your bandage be taken off?""One month, Dad," I repli
"What video?"I asked Kayla as I was startled. Did anyone record any videos of the king helping me in the hospital?If they did, how could he dismiss the rumors? He was last seen with me while wearing a mask, and no one knew he was the king. What if I caused his reputation to be damaged here?After all, I was not even the real daughter of an Alpha. I was adopted, a girl who had no idea who her parents were."What's wrong? Why are you looking pale after hearing about another video?" Kayla questioned me suspiciously.I shook my head. "Nothing. I just want to know."Kayla furrowed her brows. "Babe, are you hiding something from me? You are free to share anything with me. I am your best friend."I took a deep breath and decided to tell her everything.Her expression changed when she learned that the king had helped me again."Flora, you can't think it's just a coincidence, can you? You both kept bumping each other without any plan. Or..."I looked at her with interest. "Or what?"I was ho
"Thank you so much."I said to Doctor Ken, who came outside to assist me in getting into a taxi. I told him many times that he did not have to do it and that I could go alone. However, he kept referring to me as the king's people, saying he did not want to disappoint him.After getting into the taxi, I took a look at the clutch beside me. I did not know how long I would have to use it. Doctor Ken told me that I would be fine in one month. But still, I was afraid of it.The taxi came to a halt in front of the pack house. I paid the taxi driver and got out using the clutch.I applied all of the pressure to my left leg while holding the crutch beneath my arm. I had to limp my way toward the pack house.The guards looked at me with surprise. One of them questioned me."What happened to you?"I looked at the guard with a frown. "Didn't you notice how I was in pain when I left the pack house?"The guard seemed taken aback. He might have had a different thought when he saw Zack carrying me o
One of the nurses patted my shoulder. "Did you think he was waiting for you here? You may be important, but he is the King."I looked at the empty stool where Aron had been sitting before I left the room.'Did I really expect him to be here with me?'Doctor Ken soon entered the room to review my report. He pinned the x-ray report to a whiteboard and lit it up to show me the result.After circling the back of the ankle with his fingers, Dr. Ken said,“This is where one of your bones cracked. A plaster is necessary.”I was taken aback. "Doctor, will I not be able to walk properly again?"He gave me a surprised look before shaking his head. I was startled. I assumed he was saying I was correct; I would never be able to walk properly again; perhaps I could walk with a limp."Doctor, please do something."He let out a chuckle. I looked at him in confusion.“Please, just relax. You can walk again. But your leg needs some time. You will need plaster for at least four weeks.”I rubbed my fore
I felt a chill go through me. The air around me seemed to freeze as I stared at the man. He was mysterious, but also dangerous. His eyes had the power to burn anything with his gaze if he wanted to destroy.The thoughts of him killing the people and demolishing the pack made me feel sick.The blood, the war, the cries—everything was something I never wanted to witness.King Aron turned his head to look at me. When his eyes locked with mine, I saw the smirk fade from his face.I blinked and lowered my head. Was I more afraid of him?But his voice was not cold, but rather softer than I expected. It arrived and made its way to my ears smoothly."Girl, you are too young to know who your people and enemies are. Always rely on your brain rather than your heart. Keep your eyes open."I lifted my gaze to meet his eyes again. I nodded my head when I noticed his eyes were calm."Thank you for helping me, Your Majesty."He did not respond as if he was looking through me, attempting to read my th
I was mesmerized by how he was taking care of me. He knew he could not wander the hospital since he was the king, and it would only give people a chance to start gossiping, so he told the doctor to let the nurses accompany me.Not just any ordinary nurse, but nurses assigned to assist the doctor. The doctor's reaction made me wonder if he was a big doctor.Doctor Ken nodded his head. "I am sending them right now, Your Majesty." He then left the cabin.I cast a glance at King Aron. He remained calm, but his gaze was fixed on my right leg.I felt a burn in my leg as if his gaze was so intense that it was affecting me."I could go by myself," I murmured, although I knew it would be tough for me.He grabbed a stool near the bed and sat down. I gulped, recalling the day when I woke up in the Water Garden Villa."How is your day going at the pack house?"I raised my head and looked at him. He was also looking at me.His eyes were serene but dark. Despite knowing that I could not read them,
Flora's POVInside a private cabin in the hospital,I was sitting on a bed, waiting for a doctor to come. I looked around the cabin. It looked like a vip cabin.I was thankful to King Aron for helping me get here. However, I could not afford this cabin. I did not want to bother my father about this.King Aron said he knew a doctor here, and he would check me. I could only thank him.He got a phone call a few minutes ago; he went outside the cabin to talk.I was all alone in the cabin. I was embarrassed to show him my face again. Zack had humiliated me enough today.When King Aron asked how I got hurt, I told him that I fell from the stairs. He then asked why I was with Zack. His question was very direct. But I could not lie to him.“Zack was there when I fell. So he came with me to help me today.”That's what I told the king.I knew I did not need to lie. He had seen my bad days and supported me. However, the more I would tell him about my sufferings, the more it would bother him.The
Zack's eyes widened in shock. Alora, on the other hand, felt her heartbeat slow in fright. She was startled."K-King Aron’s car?"Her gaze shifted to the car, which she had damaged. She never expected anything like that to happen when she started her car.She clearly remembered how to press the brake on time. She had no idea how her car had come into contact with her own. Now that it was the Alpha King's car, no one would believe her.Her lips started to shake just like her knees. She bit her bottom lip, nearly bleeding from fear.The young man was none other than Beta Joy, the Alpha King Aron's beta.Anyone looking at him from a distance could tell he was powerful. The men around them were all bodyguards of the king. Because the king did not want to draw attention in this pack, he sent them away.Zack felt a drop of sweat on his forehead. Just before coming here, he had gotten the opportunity to meet the Alpha King. It was his lucky day that the king talked to him.King Aron was more
