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

    I was at a loss for words. Alora's words baffled me. Even when I came into this room to give her tea, I overheard her talking about letting go of the arguments. Did she finally decide to be a good girl?I had absolutely no idea.But in my heart, I hoped she would be safe. I did not want anyone to die.Standing outside the room, I noticed everyone around me. My father was walking back and forth, a worried expression on his face. Zack appeared angry rather than concerned. He might have been on his way to the company when the maid informed him about Alora.I could see him gazing at the maids with a scornful look. He might be trying to observe them.When I saw his gaze, I had one question in mind.'Alora was poisoned. How did that happen?’ I thought.This pack house was where I had spent my entire life. Over the years, no one had dared to poison me. Then why did they do that to Alora?Perhaps she was the biological daughter of the head Alpha; that was how they did it.When Zack's eyes shi

    I was shocked as soon as I heard Alora. My eyes went wide with surprise. My lips parted, but no words came out. I stared at her with bewilderment for a while."What are you saying, Alora?"Zack's voice reached my ear and brought me back to reality. I came to the realization that this woman was accusing me of murdering her.Hearing Zack, Alora shifted her gaze away from me and turned her head to look at him.Since Zack's voice sounded confused, she was startled. She began crying and saying,"Zack, you don't believe me?"Zack cast a glance at me. I could feel his perplexed gaze on me. I did not turn my head to look at him. Instead, I directly questioned Alora."What do you mean? I didn't do anything to you."Alora shook her head as she looked at me."Why are you lying, Sister? I know you hate me so much.""Why would I hate you? Have you ever done anything to make me hate you?" I snapped back at her.I was getting angry at her. How could she wake up and accuse me of poisoning her?I gave

    I saw hatred blazing inside Zack's eyes. I bit my bottom lip, shaking my head."Trust me, I have no idea how this happened. I didn't do anything."Alora spoke up suddenly,"I saw you had another cup with you. You were about to give that to Dad...." she gasped, covering her mouth. Then after a few seconds of silence, she mumbled,"Sister, did you plan to kill Dad as well?"If the ground had slipped beneath my feet, I would have buried my body underground.Why would I want to kill my father?The atmosphere in the room was heated. I felt like I was almost out of breath. I choked on my breath, unable to think of anything. What happened was beyond my understanding.To silence our thoughts, the doctor lifted his hand and shook it.“I have examined the remaining tea in the kettle as well as the tea in Alpha Joshua's study. There was nothing poisonous in the tea. The poison was only found in Alora's cup.”The doctor's words made it clear that the person was only attempting to kill Alora.And

    I stared at my father in disbelief. The air in the room started to choke me as if I was taking some poison. His words came to my ears like stabs in my heart."Dad..." I mumbled, ignoring the tears falling from my eyes.My voice came out in a low whisper. How could he so easily abandon me?Would he do the same if Alora was in my shoes? He could never do that.I was betrayed by the two people I loved the most. It was not just about saving me, but putting their trust in me. Since they did not believe it, they could have just let me go. I said I was leaving. However, they made the decision to punish me for a crime I had not done."Let's go. We do not have time for your drama," the inspector said, dragging me out the door.My father did not look at me when they were pulling me out. Instead, he went to Alora to check on her. Alora was already hugging Zack when he placed his hand on her head.While hugging Zack's neck, Alora's gaze locked with mine. I could see a smile reach her eyes, provok

    "Aahhh!"I screamed in pain. I was curled up against the cold ground of a cell. I could barely breathe. The agony that I was experiencing in my back was getting unbearable.My hands were tied as well as my legs. I hissed as the man who had been whipping me for the past few minutes whipped my back again."I-I didn't do anything. Please let me go," I cried out again.The tears began to pour out of my eyes. I felt my face pressed against the cold floor. I could feel pain in my cheeks too.Every ragged gasp intensified the pain. I could feel the sting of the whips. There were a few guards shouting from behind."The order was for ten whips on the first day. Why are you still whipping her? She will die!"The man who was beating me bent down to the ground. He grabbed my hair and yanked it back with his strong grip.I sobbed in agony, feeling the burn on my scalp from his firm grip.My eyes were shut tightly so I could not see his face. But when he said something, I froze."You insulted me in

    Third POV"Now she is all right, Alpha. Since she is out of danger, you should not worry about her health anymore," the doctor said, bowing his head to him.Alpha Joshua exhaled a sigh of relief and nodded to him.The doctor had spent the entire night checking on Alora. She was calmly resting on the bed. Zack and Alpha Joshua were seated on the bed."Thank you, Doctor," Zack said.He was holding Alora's hand. Worry was clearly visible in his eyes. Alpha Joshua also noticed it.When the doctor left, Joshua noticed Zack's hand and asked,"You seem to be very concerned about Alora."Zack looked at him and replied, "Of course, she is someone I should care for my entire life."Alpha Joshua grinned at him slightly. His daughter was in good hands. He felt better."Alpha, you can rest now.""What about her?" Joshua said, gazing at his daughter."I will be right here with her," Zack assured him.Joshua looked out the window, only to see the sun rising.It was already in the morning.He slowly

    Three days had passed since Flora poisoned Alora. Zack was not pleased with what had happened. He almost could not believe Flora could do such a thing.If he had not witnessed her giving the tea to Alora that day, he would have assumed she was lying.He wondered how Flora had changed so dramatically. He used to think that she was a softhearted girl who could never hurt an insect. But here she was, attempting to kill her sister. She never thought a single time about her father, who had given her a new life in her childhood. She tried to take his daughter away from him.Zack received an order from Alpha Joshua three days ago. He had instructed him to see how Flora was doing today. So today he was going to prison to see Flora.Zack was buttoning his shirt and looking at himself in the mirror. He recalled how Flora used to help him button his shirt in the morning. Whenever he left for the company, she always woke up early to join him for breakfast.Zack clenched his jaw, thinking how time

    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.
