Chapter 7Alice's PovAs my hand trembled, an old man entered my room, accompanied by the woman who had shed tears over my return. Our eyes met, and my heart skipped a beat. Was she my mother? And was the man beside her truly the Lycan King?"She was our child. The DNA test confirmed that she is the lost princess," the Lycan King said to the woman, causing her to cry out with overwhelming emotion. I longed to walk towards her, but the doctor advised me to rest and refrain from exertion.Seeking permission, my mother approached me, and when she stood before me, tears cascaded down my cheeks like a river. She embraced me tightly, and I closed my eyes, feeling an overwhelming rush of joy. In that moment, I sensed her love, sorrow, and happiness—an amalgamation of emotions from her long wait to reunite with her lost child. As someone who had never met my parents before, the happiness of being with my biological parents now filled my heart with joy.The subsequent events were a blur, but n
Chapter 8Alice's POVDuring dinner, I engaged in a pleasant conversation with my parents. My mom informed me that Lady Malia had prepared the delicious food on the table, and I was amazed by her culinary skills.As time passed, I couldn't help but share the story of Adam with my parents. My mom had asked about my loved ones, leading me to mention him and how he had rejected me, believing me to be a weak human."So, someone rejected the princess?" the King remarked."It doesn't matter now. You are free to find another man. At the party, you will meet some brave guys who won't break your heart," my mom reassured.I couldn't help but laugh at her statement. "I'm not ready to be in a relationship yet. Family is more important to me than other guys," I replied calmly.Though I still held feelings for Adam, I wasn't eager to meet someone new just yet. My priority was spending time with my parents after years of separation. I wanted to learn about their lives, their likes and dislikes, what
Chapter 9Adam’s POVWeeks had passed. Day and night, I looked for Alice. But I couldn’t find her. Anything that indicates that she was alive has never been found. I felt sorry for her family, Henry told me that their mother didn’t stop to asked him about the update. I stopped in front of the river. I looked at the leaves that flowed in the calm water. “How could I spread the news about her? I thought it was about to stopped. I couldn’t find her, even I tried,” I said those words to me. I gave up. It was not right to forced things that was not good. If she would be back, that would be nice, but if she didn’t, I couldn’t control it. She has chosen her fate. I changed my form and ran back to my house. When I saw Henry that waited for me to came back, I walked toward him and back to my human form. “I was sorry for your loss. But I couldn’t find her. Sorry.” I apologized for their loss. They felt hurt by the disappearance of that weak human, but I couldn’t do anything. I was tired. He
Chapter 10Adam's POVMonths had passed, and our pack had stopped talking about the weak human, including her family. They all returned to their lives as if they hadn't lost a child. Henry became one of my father’s trusted personnel under his orders. Though he often made me feel like he knew something I didn't, I didn't object to his position.At times, Henry dropped hints about Alice without mentioning her name. He missed his sister, and he held on to hope that she might return.Since I became the next Alpha through succession, the pack asked me about my Luna. I informed them that the one destined to be my Luna was a powerful woman, and we needed to wait for her to reveal herself, much like how my father had met my mother. I fantasized about becoming the most powerful creatures alongside my powerful Luna—not with a weak woman who would end her own life.Today, my parents were at my house, and my mom prepared my favorite foods as we talked about my life without my Luna.During our mea
Chapter 11Alice's POVDay by day, I felt myself getting stronger and healing from the past. The wounds, both physical and emotional, were finally mending. I had moved on from Adam, the one who taught me a valuable lesson in life. Thoughts of him were fading, and all I wished for now was his happiness and my own. With the unwavering support of my family and friends, I had made tremendous progress.Their care and kindness were beyond words, and expressing my gratitude with a simple "thank you" felt inadequate."You look beautiful, my princess," my mother gazed at my reflection in the mirror, brushing my hair gently and adding a touch of makeup. Today, I turned eighteen, and my powers as a werewolf would finally emerge. The excitement bubbled within me, and I wondered what it would be like to transform into my wolf form. Would my fur be as white as snow?"Thank you, mom. But..." I hesitated for a moment and turned to face her, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. She gazed at me wit
Chapter 12I woke up early. Since that day happened, I never stopped smiling. I couldn’t believe that I could change my form now. I couldn’t wait to master it. “Good morning. It seemed your smile was better that morning, huh?” Lady Malia said while she gave me her smile. I arrange my hair behind my ears. “I was just happy. I thought that was a dream.”“A beautiful dream.”“More than that.”As I said those words, I looked around. Were my parents not here? Lady Malia noticed me, looking for my parents. “They are not here. But there was someone waited you in the living room,” she said without me asked about it. I frowned and looked at her. “Did I have a visitor?”Who was the person waited me in the living room? Did I know him?“Duke Timeless waited for you since 7 in the morning.” I looked at the clock. “He waited for me for almost an hour? Why did he come here?” Since yesterday, I haven't seen that man. My father said he was my personal trainer, but we never had an interaction sinc
Chapter 13Alice’s POVMy body was full of sweat. I was about to surrender, but when I remembered what he said to me, my heart urged me to show him that I was not weak. That I can be more that what he thought about a woman like me.“Tell me if you wanted to stop. Then admit that you are weak, princess.”“Shut up! You would never hear that. I would never say that, until I died.”I would never let myself told that to me again. I was weak before, but not now. I would never be the weak same useless person before. I closed my eyes, when he added more weight with my arms. “Squat, princess,” he ordered me and tapped my legs. I wanted to curse him, but my energy was not enough. I didn’t want to waste it because of him.“Tell me if you couldn’t handle it.” As he said those words, he laughed in front of me. Was this part of the training? This was not what I imagined. I hoped my parents saw this and saved me from this cruel man.For about an hour, he made me squat while he put some pressure on
Chapter 14Alice’s POVAt last, our training for today was over! I let my body rest in my soft bed, my eyes were closed for a moment. My whole being was tired and hurt. I didn’t know if tomorrow I could still walk. I was tired, I wanted to sleep, but dinner was about to happen for a minute. As my eyes closed, I remembered Duke's face. I didn’t deny that he was handsome, but his attitude was not attractive. He didn’t consider anyone’s emotion, he would tell what he wanted to tell. He was brutally honest. “I was tired,” I said to myself. I didn’t know when the last day of training. I didn’t wanted Duke to be my trainer anymore, could I request it from my father?Being alone, I heard one knocked on my door. I couldn’t get up, so I gave that person permission to open the door. My eyes were closed, so I only heard the footsteps, but even though I didn’t saw that someone, I knew it was coming from my mom’s footsteps. I wanted to opened my eyes, but my tired body didn’t let it.I felt her
