Flora's POV

I was shocked when King Aron said I could stay in the house.

"I can stay here?" I uttered the question with a surprised tone, as I could not believe it.

"For a while," he reminded me, raising his brows in a gesture.

I immediately nodded my head and tried to bow to him. But before I could bow, I felt a sharp pain in my back.

It caused me to grab the bedsheet tightly.

He was the king. I would have to bow to him no matter how much pain I was in.

So I did what my mind told me. I sat on my knees and lowered my head, then said,

"I don't know why I am so fortunate to have the King's help. But I am grateful to you, again."

King Aron did not say anything for a long time as his eyes observed me quietly.

His silence always terrified me. His dark gaze brushed my body like a cold breeze in winter, touching it like salt in a wound.

I closed my eyes, thinking about the meaning of his silence.

I slowly raised my head without his permission and cast a glance at him. When I noticed him star

    I spent the entire day thinking about what the king had said to me. For some reason, I found that everything he said was always correct. He was the king for a reason.If I was not in love, I would have never been so weak. Alora could not play tricks with me. Zack could not cheat on me because before that I would have caught him red-handed.Doctor Usha entered the room and told me that I could only eat nutritious soup for a few days. She said she would mix the tonic with it, which had been imported from the Western pack."Doctor Usha, my back…""Relax, Flora. It would hurt for some time. But you will feel better later."Doctor Usha dressed my wound while telling me about the latest news from their pack. I discovered that the king was here on business, which is why he purchased this villa. He would have to come here often in the next few months."I am surprised that he allowed you to stay here."I heard Doctor Usha and turned my head to her, "Why?"She smiled at me softly and replied, "

    I tightened my fists, feeling upset. Why would I be?I did not scream to disturb his sleep. I was in pain."I-I…"He folded his arms against his chest and frowned at me. His eyebrows were thick and sharp in shape. When he furrowed his eyebrows, he appeared very aggressive. It was quite frightening as if he was about to kill the person in front of him."You what?" he questioned.All I had to do was look away from him. While I was closing my eyes, I took a couple of deep breaths.'I should not be nervous,' I told myself.My eyes slowly raised to meet his gaze, and I responded to him by saying, "I was in pain. I could not help it. Once again I would like to apologize to you, Your Majesty."Aron gave me a hard look. I remained calm as I observed his face. He did not appear to be sleeping a while ago. He did not seem sleepy at all.Suddenly I remembered that Doctor Usha had told me about the maids. No one stayed in this house at night. So it was just him and me, alone.I held my breath, tr

    "Are you sure?"Kyla sounded confused when she spoke. She seemed to be warning me to stay out of trouble."Yeah, I am damn sure. I can't live with the tag of a murderer. Why would I take the punishment if I had done nothing wrong? I know Alora really well. She will stop at nothing to make my life miserable once more. I will not give her another chance this time."While I was talking, I thought about all that Alora had done to me. From the day she came to the pack, she only planned to humiliate me and snatch everything away from me, including Zack.Whenever I thought about Zack, I felt a tightening in my chest. Right now, I despise that man. He had shown the greatest betrayal in love.The next morning,I got up early and put on a sky-blue dress. When I first arrived two weeks ago, I had no clothes. But the king made arrangements for me to live here peacefully.Now that my wounds were healed, I did not want to bother him.When I went into the living room, I noticed Doctor Usha was enter

    The cold night breeze hit my body, causing me to shiver. The street was silent. I nearly forgot what it was like to walk down the street.I was dressed in a thin dress, so the cold air swirled around me. I hugged my arms and walked forward.It had been three weeks since I had left the pack house. It has been one and a half weeks since I received the news from the king that Zack was looking for me. However, I never received any information regarding my father. The king left, and I lost all the information about them.Looking at the dim light on the roadside, I bit my lip and paused for a moment.It reminded me of the light in the jail. How cruel that light was when it turned on in the cell, only to reveal how my body turned blue and bloody.I shook my head, forcing the thoughts to leave my mind.I walked for a long time because I could not get a taxi.When I felt my legs were hurting, I made my way to a seat in the corner of the road.I sat there, trying to clear my mind.My gaze was d

    I looked away from him, trying to walk in the opposite direction. His hand reached out and grabbed mine from behind."Where are you going?" he asked, sounding angry.I inhaled, trying to take deep breaths.How could I melt just looking at him? He was the man who cheated on me; he was the one who never trusted me; he was the one who gave proof against me to my father and sent me to jail.I could not forget the three days in jail when he did not come to see me or bail me out. In fact, when the jailer was about to kill me, he could have saved my life by coming to the prison. But he chose to let them kill me as if he had never loved me once.Thinking about those days, my eyes turned cold. My heart tightened, and my breathing became slower.Although the pain had left my body, it remained in my heart.His grip tightened as he spun me around. I looked into his angry eyes and yanked my hand away."Don't you dare to touch me again," I said coldly.He narrowed his eyes as he stared at his hand,

    My eyes were focused on Zack's face. Though he was this close to me, I could not feel anything inside of me. Perhaps it was due to the fact that he had lost his position in my heart.I sneered at him and replied, "You better not try to find out who that guy is."A frown formed on Zack's face. As if getting in his head that I was not going to tell him about the masked man's identity. He released his grip on my hands and moved away from me.He scoffed at me and said, "You are talking like he is someone bigger than me and your dad."As soon as he let go of me, I let out a deep breath. As the passing view sparkled in my eyes, I turned my head to look at the lamp lights that were illuminated on the street."He is someone beyond your imagination," I mumbled.He turned to face me again. As I waited for the road to come to an end, I chose to ignore his gaze.I did not tell him or the driver to stop the car again. I was curious about whether or not he would take me to the pack house, and if he

    It sounded like someone was running toward the living room, and I heard loud footsteps coming from that direction.After casting a glance in this direction, I noticed that Alora was rushing over here.When her eyes landed on me, she appeared to be frozen in place. For a moment, she was on the verge of not believing that I had come back."Flo-Sister?"Hearing her pretending caring tone, I clenched my jaw. But for some reason, I felt good to see her in distress. It was clearly visible on her face that she was not happy at all.She could not hide her emotion this time. She walked toward Zack and held his arm."Zack, you said you did not care. I mean, where did you find my sister?"Zack did not turn to Alora since his eyes were on me. He replied calmly,"She was on the streets.""Really? Who was she with?"My ears picked up a faint sound of Zack's voice, and I heard him say, "With no one."Before I could hear anything more, my father who was standing in front of me, spoke out,"Why didn't

    "Pfft!"I heard Alora burst out laughing. She continued to laugh until my father turned his head towards her.Alora quickly pulled herself together and stopped laughing. She averted her gaze from my father and focused on me."Sister, what are you saying? That masked man is a guard? People assumed he was a businessman or an important member of our pack based on the video footage from that club night. But a guard?"She could not help but laugh again. Zack's eyes were on from all the time.I could tell he was mocking through his eyes. As if telling me there could not be a better option."Flora, how could a guard help you? Is the king aware of his actions? He used the seal for personal use," Alora asked.With a smile, I said, "Alora, are you not glad your sister is back? You should say thank you to the guard instead of making fun of him. That guard saved your sister. Otherwise, someone would have killed her in the cell.""What? Kill you?" My father's voice came out as a surprise.I did no

    "What do you mean?"My father's angry voice echoed throughout the study room.I took a deep breath and answered,"He is a coward. He abandoned me in a place full of strangers. He did not care about my dignity.""Are you talking about that night with the king?"I was surprised when I heard him. "Are you aware of it? But you still want me to marry that guy?"My father stood up and said,"Look, he was not willing to leave. In front of him was the king. Who would dare to offend the king? By the way, everyone knows the king does not have any interest in a girl with no origin. If it were Alora, he might think before leaving."Tears rolled down my face. I never expected him to bring it up again.Once again, he reminded me that I was an orphan and he had adopted me. Otherwise, I had no background."Dad, I will not marry him."After saying that, I made my way to the door. My father became enraged by my decision. He spoke up from behind."No one will be worse off than me if you dare to refuse m

    I knocked on the door of my father's study room. He might be busy at work. I was afraid that I would disturb his work. But I came here for an important reason. I would never marry Alpha William. I did not want to."Come in."I opened the door and stepped into the study room. I noticed my father sitting on the couch with the four officials.My gaze landed on Zack. He appeared surprised when he saw me. I noticed him frowning at the clutch I was holding as support.He seemed unaware that he had broken my leg. How would he? He was busy with his so-called Alora.I looked away from him and focused on my father."Dad"My father, Alpha Joshua, stood up from the couch and approached me. He held my hand and helped me to sit on a single couch."My dear, why didn't you call some maids to help you get here?" my father asked.I lowered my head, feeling nervous. I was upset while thinking,'Does he care about me only because of the marriage agreement with Alpha William?’I inhaled deeply while bitin

    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,
