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 was shocked to hear the maid. What happened to Alora? How was she poisoned? How?My father's eyes grew wide with disbelief. His body nearly slumped back into his chair."W-What?"For the first time, I saw his vulnerable side. I had always seen him as strong and powerful. But right then, he was lost, as if he were losing everything in his life.My eyes filled with tears, and I hurried over to him."Dad!"I helped him stand up by holding his arm."Are you alright, Dad?"I could not express my worries to him. He broke my grip and dashed out of the room, heading for Alora's bedroom.The maid quickly stepped aside to let him out of the room. I trailed behind him.I was worried for Alora. Though she never treated me well, she was my sister.Since Alora's bedroom was in the same way as his office room, my father rushed inside her room.I walked behind him. As soon as I stood at the door, I saw Alora lying on the bed. It appeared as though she was coughing up poison. The lids of her eyes w
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
Zack was stressed out while he was in the car. Alora kept calling him, telling him to save her.He wondered who had the audacity to stop the Alpha's daughter like that. According to how Alora explained it to him, no one was hurt inside the car."I am coming, hold on," Zack said to Alora.Alora spoke as if she was being held captive by some men.Zack rubbed his forehead in frustration.Alora did not have any driving license. Why did she even try in such a bustling city? There were so many people on the road. What if she hurt someone?'He is Alpha's daughter. There is no way Alpha Joshua would let his daughter suffer,' he thought.Soon, he arrived at the location where Alora had sent him.He got out of the car and dashed toward Alora. She was crying as some men gathered around her.Zack got mad at the men. Were they brave enough to touch her? Did they even know who she was?When the men noticed him, they moved back to let him see Alora.Alora's eyes lit up. She rushed over to Zack and h
Zack was shocked hearing the curious question from the Alpha King. The king had never before shown interest in someone's personal matters. So, of course, it was quite surprising.Unknowingly, Zack stared at Flora. The answer could not come out of his mouth. It was as if he did not want to say no.Flora's eyes widened as she shook her head at the king."No, no. I am not his girlfriend."She tried to get down, but Zack tightened his grip even more. He was angry at her behavior. She behaved like being his girlfriend was a curse or disownment."Put me down, Zack," Flora said and gritted in pain.Zack looked at her sharply and muttered,"Stop acting like I am forcing you, Flora. Stop creating a scene in front of the king."Flora glared at him, pushing his chest. "If you don't put me down, I will scream in front of the king."Zack clenched his jaw and put her down.The moment Flora's slippers touched the floor, she felt pain in her ankle. She shut her eyes, trying not to let out a moan of p
Third POVFlora was stunned as soon as she heard Zack.'Your Majesty?'She slowly turned her head and saw the man of myth. He was wearing a royal blue tuxedo. His hands were inside his pockets. A long black coat was covering his shoulders, hiding his muscles inside.Flora's eyes slowly moved to his face, and she froze. He did not have a mask like he had on other times when he liked to wear one around the people of this pack.His handsome face was something any woman could look at forever without taking track of time.There was an intimidating aura emanating from him, which could deter the other woman from approaching him. However, his charms and authority were something anyone could die to reach for him.Flora gulped as she mumbled,"Y-Your Majesty..."King Aron did not respond to her, nor did he meet her gaze. It made her feel awkward.Flora recalled what Aron had told her before leaving the restaurant last night.She looked away from him, lowering her gaze."It's such a pleasure to
I was dissatisfied. My father left the room after giving Zack a nod.As soon as he left, I glared at Zack. “I don't need your help.”Zack walked out of the room and came back with a maid.I frowned at him. “What are you doing? Where is Alora? Does she know you are here?”He scoffed at me and replied, “She is not at home. You don't need to think about her. Or do you want her to be here so that you can put the blame on her?"Did he think I was like her fiancée? It was her job to put everything on me, not mine.When he saw I was not responding to him, Zack turned to the maid and said,“She just woke up. Help her to get ready. I'm taking her to the hospital.”Zack then left the room. I glanced at the maid. She was one of Alora's maids."I don't need your help. I can do it myself."The maid crossed her arms and gave me a weird look. It was as if she was the daughter of the Alpha and I was her maid."Look, Flora. You lost your position, you know that. Now that Miss Alora is not home, you ar
I managed to return to my bedroom while taking support from the railing and the wall.I could not move my right leg; I was limping.I did not know if I had broken a bone. What would I do then?The night was big, and I was waiting for dawn. The pain would not let me sleep. I was awake the whole night, waiting for the sun to rise so that I could go to the pack hospital for a check-up.I had no idea when my eyes closed. I opened my eyes as I heard a loud knock at the door."I fell asleep in pain," I muttered with a deep sigh.I tried to move my leg to get out of the bed. I was relieved when I found my right foot was not that heavy in pain like last night.I walked over to the door while limping and opened it.I saw my father standing there."Dad!"My father, Alpha Joshua, looked at me from head to toe."What happened to you, Flora? Why didn't you come down for breakfast?"His voice was soft and filled with worry. A sense of emotion blew into my mind. I was happy that my father was concer
I stared at the closed door for a long time. The cold breeze touched my face as it blew inside the room through the window. It did not feel like how I felt when I was near the king, very close."What's wrong with me? Why do I start to feel like this toward him? Was it because he is the king?"I asked myself, trying to look for the answer.In the end, I could not reach a conclusion. I had no idea what he meant before leaving.Slowly getting up on my feet, I let out a deep breath.My legs deliberately moved toward the door. I opened the door and looked around, only to find an empty hallway.I walked out of the grand restaurant. When I got to the parking lot, I started to look for my father's car. But it seemed like his driver left after dropping me off.With a deep sigh, I hailed a taxi and headed back to the pack house.It took some time for me to get back to the pack house.As I entered the house, I saw a man sitting on the couch.I took a pause as I looked at him."Zack"He was drink
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
