Chapter 18

Alice’s POV

“So, you get mad of me telling the truth?” Duke said, as he stopped.

“You looked down at my power.”

“You have power?”

I closed my eyes tightly, so I could control myself. “I mean, my ability to handle myself.”

He didn’t say a word. He just nodded as if he understood me. He always likes this, he thinks that he knows me better than I knew myself.

We are at the park right now, like how we planned to went here. My parents just went home, and told Duke to assist me until I got home. To be honest, that was not a good idea. I wanted to be independent.

As the wind blew, I hugged myself. Duke seemed to notice me, and looked at his suit.

“You wanted to be independent right? So, you should bring your jacket next time,” he said as if I needed his suit.

“I could handle myself, mister.” I rolled my eyes and walked to the bench. I sat there and I saw Duke’s shoulder fidget who obviously laughed at what word I said.

“We would be in the same university, huh? I hope you didn

    Chapter 19Alice's POVNervousness gripped me as I stepped onto the grounds of HHC University. My father had warned me that some of the professors here might recognize me as the Lycan King's daughter, but I hoped to remain anonymous and be treated like any other student. My desire was to experience the freedom of a normal university life without the burden of my royal identity.Taking a moment to gather my thoughts, I started walking, but my focus faltered, leading me to bump into a girl."Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't see you there," I apologized sincerely, helping her pick up her belongings.She remained silent, merely glancing at me before looking away. Wearing a vintage floral dress with unkempt hair and thick eyeglasses, she appeared shy and introverted."Excuse me," she muttered, before walking away in the opposite direction. Perhaps she was just afraid of strangers or preferred to be on her own.Continuing my journey, I noticed Duke surrounded by a group of blonde and attractive g

    Chapter 20Alice's POV"What do you mean he rejects you as his mate? That was funny," Duke laughed at my statement.He joined me for a lunch break, which I initially didn't want, but he insisted on not letting me go anywhere alone. He seemed like my bodyguard now, after becoming my trainer."But that was in the past," I said.He inquired about my past and whether I had ever felt loved before. I decided to share my story about Adam, even though I didn't really want to talk about him. It was time to move on and find a new love. I was now open to experiencing new relationships, though I wasn't sure if I could find a good man among all the jerks I've encountered."To be honest, I didn't know your story, how the King found you. So, you jumped off the cliff because of one rejection? You are so stupid."Once again, Duke's uncontrolled words hurt me. I put down my glass of water and looked at him with seriousness. He noticed and cleared his throat, trying to compose himself."You invalidated

    Chapter 21Alice's POVThe wind gently swirled around me as I came to a stop in front of Duke. He stood there, waiting for me at the gate. As I looked around, I noticed there were no other girls hovering around him, which was quite a miracle."Who were you looking at?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowing."Your girls?" I retorted, not holding back.Instead of answering, he just laughed at my response. "Let's go? You want coffee?""I want it. But not with you," I replied, straightforward and unwavering.He smirked and shot back, "You have no choice. You didn't have a friend. Look, they didn't want to connect with a war-freak princess."I raised an eyebrow to indicate that he was mistaken about me not having friends."So, what does that mean?""I have a friend now," I said confidently, though it seemed he didn't quite believe my claim."An imaginary friend? Where was that friend?" he teased, scanning the area behind me as if searching for someone I had mentioned.Smiling, I turned my gaze

    Chapter 22Alice’s POV“I was on my vacation that day, I went home after that dinner.”I asked her about the party and the dinner she missed. And even his brother didn’t tell anything about her. So, I thought Duke didn’t have a sister. “But I know some things about you. My father told me about it before, and they talked about how the King found the long lost princess. That was a nice story anyway. At least you found your real parents after all.”I sip my coffee for a while. “How was that coffee?” There was a happy smile on her face as she waited for me to answer it. I tasted it for a moment. “It tastes… It tastes a sweet memory.”She clapped after I said this “That was my favorite coffee. It brings us sweet memories.”“But with a bit of sadness…” I added. For a moment, I remembered my friend Alice. All for the things that we did. All the memories we shared. Everything we dream about. I missed her. I missed the old time with the people I loved. I fell silent for a moment as I reme

    Chapter 23Alice’s POVI waited for Alexa in the garden. She said that there was a problem in her skirt now, so she went back to her dorm. I had free time today, my enrollment was over and I didn’t know where to go. Duke asked me to go out earlier but I refused him. I wanted to be with his sister… Just kidding, I also wanted to be with him but I want him to realized that not everything he wanted, he could get as fast as he thinks. He called me before, but I didn’t answer. As I was alone, I looked at the plants and for a moment, I noticed someone standing at the front of the garden. It was her again, the nerd girl. What was her name again? Alacia? “Hi.” I sat up happily and tried to be closer to her, but she stepped backwards. “Was there anything wrong? I was not bad, I just wanted to be friends with you.”Until now, I didn’t get why she looks afraid of me. Was it because she saw me before, about those bully men? But I just defended myself. That was not mean that I could do bad thin

    Chapter 24Alice’s POVThe night sky was draped in darkness, but the moon still managed to cast its silvery glow. I had recently moved my belongings into Alexa's dorm, and I couldn't help but feel that Duke was well aware of this development. As expected, he continued his bothersome behavior by relentlessly knocking on our door."I want pizza," Alexa declared, her eyes glued to her phone, which seemed to be showing something that triggered her pizza cravings. She even licked her lips hungrily, though we had only just finished dinner an hour ago.Lowering her phone, she looked at me, and I could already sense what she had in mind."What's that look for?" I asked, even though I knew exactly what she wanted.She simply nodded, silently coaxing me to accompany her on her pizza quest."The night is quite deep," I remarked."But I want pizza," she said, giving me a pleading look like a child yearning for a new toy.With a sigh, I relented. If this was what she wanted, I would go along with

    Chapter 25Adam's POVAs the moon concealed itself behind the clouds, I observed the white wolf as it disappeared into the darkness. Unable to shake off the strange feeling it evoked in me, I decided to shift back to my human form."Who was she?" I muttered to myself. Her eyes seemed familiar, as if I had encountered her before.Earlier, on our way to the convenience store, I heard a distress call from a girl in need of help. When I arrived at the scene, I found the white wolf courageously fending off three attackers. I assisted her momentarily, but as the enemies fled, so did she. What was the reason for her sudden departure?Lost in thought, I was jolted back to reality by someone calling my name. It was my beta, Henry. I had chosen him to be my beta due to our close friendship and his unwavering loyalty. However, it wasn't always easy to avoid mentioning his sister around him.Henry approached me, holding a paper bag from the convenience store. "What happened?" he asked directly, c

I couldn’t believe that for a long time, since we separated, I saw him again. His face…All about him…I missed him…I hated myself to felt this way. How could my heart still beat for someone who wished me to die? “I saw him again,” I told myself. “Saw whom?” Out of the silence room, I heard Alexa ask me this. I arranged myself to look at her, and saw that her gaze was focused on me. “Nothing.”For a small talk, the silence embraces us again. We wanted to talk about something, but we didn’t know how to start it. I know she wanted to tell me something but she didn’t know how to approached those words. I heard Alexa let out a heavy breath. “Did you want to tell me something?” I was the one who asked her first.“I wanted to tell you, that what you did last night was not right. You broke one of the rules.” Her words were low. I got up. “What do y

It's been nearly three years since I came here with Duke and met Patricia. The bonds I share with the siblings will last forever, as I'll be getting engaged officially to Duke afterwards. But right now, my focus is on passing these exams.The exams for werewolves are no joke. They test our instincts and transformations, and we're only allowed to transform during the exam. It's one of the rare moments that the school allows us to let loose and show off what we've learned.Duke asked to see me a day before the exam."Are you worried, babe?" he asked."Worried?" I scoffed, not wanting him to know how nervous I was. "No, I had a pretty good teacher." I smiled.Duke smirked. "Pretty good?" he tilted his head. "I'm an excellent teacher."I couldn't help but chuckle at his cocky demeanor. Despite his arrogance, I couldn't deny that he had been a huge help in preparing m

On the other hand, there was Duke, my boyfriend. I knew who I'd be rooting for, but I still didn't want them to fight. What if Duke got hurt?My thoughts were interrupted as I felt a warm embrace from behind. It was my father, the lycan king, who had snuck up on me.

We were called to his office but to our surprise, the principal suspended Adrian.The principal revealed that he was a dear friend to my father, The Lycan king. And as such, he was willing to turn a blind eye toward the pictures."You kids should be more careful. This might be an institution for the supernatural, but common human problems do suffice even if rare. Racism and discrimination for starters."His lectures went on for over an hour. I glanced over a Duke as he struggled to stay awake, he looked cute when he isn't all worked up. We have gotten closer ever since doing the deed a while ago. Patricia kept pestering me to give her the full details on everything that transpired.

    Chapter 43I was still in shock, staring at Adrian with a mix of disgust and disbelief. How could someone I trusted turn out to be such a despicable stalker?Duke's grip on me tightened, as he glared at Adrian with a look that could kill. "Adrian, I trusted you. What kind of sick game are you playing?"I couldn't help but feel betrayed and violated, knowing that Adrian had been following me around and taking pictures of me without my knowledge.Adrian's maniacal laughter sent shivers down my spine. "Oh, Duke. You really think I'm that stupid? I have copies of those pictures and I can still make sure Alice gets expelled.

He sent me more photos of me, in everywhere I went and for this time, I felt terrified. Duke asked me what was happened, and who was the one texted me and I looked terrified. But I couldn’t tell him the truth, I didn’t know how to say it to him. I let out my heavy breath and tried to dial his number. My heart skipped for a moment he answered it. I didn’t say a words, I just waited him to speak first, but it looked like he didn’t want me to hear his voice. For a second that the call ran, I heard the tone of a sad yet terrifying sound of a piano. As the sound stuck in my mind, I felt that the oxygen in my body was not enough. I felt I would faint in any time right now. My world seemed to be in chaos. I held my chest as my heart wanted to collapsed. No words could be explained the things I experience right now. “Alice?
