Chapter 27Adam's POVThe sun blazed high, its rays penetrating through the window. The wind only seemed to intensify the heat, but my mind remained fixated on the captivating sight from the previous night—the white wolf I longed to meet again. If Henry was correct, this familiar wolf might be my future mate, the one destined to become my Luna."I'm glad to meet the Lovemoon Pack's Alpha," Anastasia smiled at me."I'm also glad to meet my friend's Luna."She was stunning—her flawless skin accentuating her long brown hair, and her powerful eyes radiating strength. Brandon was indeed fortunate to have her as his Luna; she would be the finest Luna for the Moonside Pack."Henry Brook," my friend introduced himself."I know you. I saw you yesterday at Brandon's house."I turned to Henry, expecting him to speak."Yeah, he invited me over earlier, and that's when I learned about his upcoming wedding to the beautiful Luna like you.""Aww... Thank you."I mustered a half-smile, surprised by th
Chapter 1Alice's POV "I don't like her."From within the confines of the room, where Adam was engrossed in conversation with his friends, I caught snippets of words that sent a chill down my spine. My hand, poised to knock gently, froze in mid-air as I overheard those disheartening remarks from my supposed future mate. Clutched in my trembling fingers was a carefully prepared meal, a dish his parents had assured me was one of his favorites. I had hoped to surprise him, but little did I know that I would be the one taken aback.My heart sank as Adam's unkind words echoed in my mind. This wasn't the first time I had heard him speak disparagingly about me. He had never been keen on the idea of us being together, always questioning why he should be forced to marry me out of all the women in our pack. His disdain was not a secret, and he made it known to my face."She's like a weak child, constantly in need of protection. I refuse to have someone so feeble as my partner. I despise her ve
Chapter 2Adam's POVIt was a tiring day. When I got home, I immediately went to my room and let my body rest in my soft bed. Blank ceiling appeared in my eyes. "I reject you as my Luna."I heard again those words I said to that pathetic human. Maybe from what I said, she would understand that I didn't like her. Even if she tried everything, I would never let a weak human be my Luna. Alice was weak. She didn't even surpassed my expectations in girls. I didn't know why my parents wanted her to be my Luna. I did everything to be as powerful as my father, and then the one that was supposed be my Luna was a far cry from my mother's strength? That was unfair on my part. There were some other girls who had the power that would make all men turn. But how the hell, among those girls, did my parents choose that pathetic weak human? From the very start, she shouldn't be in our pack. She was not that important, not even beautiful to be recognized. I hated it when my mind kept reminding me of h
Chapter 3Adam's POVIt has been three hours since I came here to the bottom of the cliff. I heard the water waves and felt the wind even colder now. I didn't stop just to find where Alice was. I looked for her body smell. But I failed to find her. She was not here. I didn't find any body of a weak human. Even her orchid scents disappeared. As the cloud hid the moon, I changed my form. I tried even harder to find Alice and went somewhere that might be her hideout. But I never found anyone here. I let my heavy breath out. "Where are you, Alice?" As I told those words to me, I remembered her mom. She cried a lot and thought that her child might be dead now. How could I tell the news to my pack? They might have blamed me for what happened to my future Luna. Soon, I would become an Alpha, and what happened to her was not good for my reputation. My parents would have hated me if they found out the reason why Alice committed that shit.If she did jumped off the cliff, she was so stupid
Chapter 4The Lycan King's POVIt was dark. A little girl cried a lot. She felt scared. She was terrified. The wind became ferocious as the thunder grew irate. In the woods, I ran. I was trying to find the girl who had called my name. I looked all over for her. But I failed to be with her when she needed me the most. She lost. I lost her. I lost my child in the woods. I got up. I dreamed of it again. The trauma had been hunting me every time I slept. It has been a long time since I lost my child in the woods, but it haunted me every time I closed my eyes. I was always looking for her and heard her cry over and over again, while she yelled my name.It was a nightmare that would haunt me for the rest of my life.As someone walked into my room, I wiped away my sweat"Your highness." She bowed slowly. "Nothing to worry about. I was fine." I let her know that nothing could be worried about. "I just... I just dreamed about it again. The same nightmare, when I lost her."I didn't want to
Chapter 5Alice's POVMy whole body was sore. To support my head, I raised my right hand. As I opened my eyes, it was a confirmation that I was still alive. How could this miracle happened? I jumped off the cliff that was so high, how could someone like me survived?This room was new to my eyes. This was not my room, not even my mother's room. This place was not even familiar to me.It was a huge, beautiful room. It was like a room for rich people or the one who came from a royal family. There were some flowers and paintings, and the bed was too stunning to be laid by a useless human. "Where was I?" I asked myself. When I got up, I remembered what happened before. What Adam told me, and what I have heard, make my heart ache. The useless human was still alive. Maybe some other good people helped me. I was grateful that there was still good in every person, but they didn't need to save a weak human like me. No one needed me, so it was not a good idea to be alive. But the one thing I
Chapter 6Alice's PovI couldn't fathom the reality that had unfolded before me—I, the child of the Lycan King. Lady Malia, who had spoken with me earlier, returned to my room with a thoughtful inquiry about my needs. I assured her that I was content and had no cause for concern. She had already provided me with sustenance and tended to my wounds, leaving me with nothing more to desire. Their kindness even extended to healing my injuries.For a brief period, Lady Malia lingered in my chamber, and we delved into discussions about my family. The Lycan King was absent, attending to urgent matters, while my mother accompanied him, as she often did during his business engagements."Do you truly need nothing? I could prepare any dish you desire, princess. Just tell me your culinary wishes," she said with a hint of skepticism, as if she doubted my assurance of contentment.I offered her a warm smile. "No, I assure you, I am perfectly fine. If I require anything, I shall certainly let you kno
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
