EMILLE’S POV Everyone rushed to help my father while I just stood there unable to move. I never thought this would happen to my father in front of me. After regaining myself, I ran out of the house into the woods. I didn’t stop running as I used all my strength to run. I finally stopped when I was almost out of breath. I stopped in front of the mansion, I ran inside after resting a bit. Luckily I met Bryan coming downstairs, I jumped on him without thinking and started crying. The thought of losing my father brought out my soft side and I can’t control my emotions. He didn’t push me off either, I just stayed there and cried on his shoulders. I should be embarrassed but now is not the time to be. He just comforted me for a little while and tried to help me calm down before asking me anything. I thought they said this guy was a jerk and he didn’t care about anyone’s feelings? That’s totally wrong this time, or is he really doing this because he wants something from me? “
BRYAN’S POV This is a huge mess. What the hell happened? I watched as she was taken away. I thought I didn’t like this girl? Why do I feel this way watching her being treated like that? I’m not attracted to her. I am only with her for the benefits but I doubt that now. I faced her brothers after she was gone. “She was with me the whole time. She only came home because she was having a bad feeling. Do you think she would make it that obvious if she really did it?” I asked Alpha Kane. I know their names because I know everyone in their family. Something doesn’t feel right about this incident. Why is her brother bent on blaming her even though she kept pleading innocent? Knowing the kind of girl she is, I don’t think she’s that stupid to implicate herself. He scoffed, “This is a matter within the pack and has nothing to do with you. Why don’t you go back to your own pack and watch over your own people?” “She asked for my help. I have to get involved because yo
EMMILE’S POVI’m still staying in the cell waiting for my brother like the guard said. I didn’t see him for a long time and it’s already getting late I guess. They didn’t even check on me, does this mean that I’ll pay for what I didn’t do? Just when I thought that my brother would not be coming anymore, I saw the door open and he came in with a sly smile on his face. If he's smiling now, then it means that my father is alright. "If you're here now, does this mean father is okay now? How is he? Can he talk now?" I asked him. He scoffed and walked around the cell with his hands behind his back, then he stopped to face me. "Even if he is okay, he is still unconscious and unable to speak. We have done much investigation and someone has to pay for this." He replied showing his anger. "And that person has to be me? Even though you know I didn't do it, you still want to blame me your only sister for this?" I questioned unable to believe what he's saying. "What exac
- FLASHBACK HIGHLIGHT -"Are you sure this plan is going to work?" Alpha Logan asked his youngest son, Kane. Kane nodded, "Of course dad. Trust me, she will have no idea what is going on. This is our only chance to bring her back in place. All the odds will be against her, there will be no chance for her to do anything at all. Then she will fulfill all our wishes." Alpha Logan, Alpha Aiden, Alpha Winner and Alpha Kane are all seated, having a meeting on how to stop the troublesome princess from causing trouble in the pack by going to marry Alpha Bryan. Aiden is more interested in all of this, he still doesn't want Emille to spit anything out. Her father may not even believe her at this point. "Are you serious? You want to go that extent to prove your disgust for your daughter? Can't you just be happy for her once?" Winner protested, hating the stupid plan his brother made. He didn't want to be there especially knowing they are not talking about pack matters, but Emille. His
BRYAN'S POVWhile waiting in my study for the next move, I heard some noises outside. I immediately stood up thinking it would be the troublesome girl again. To my utmost non surprised heart, I found Alpha Kane and Alpha Aiden causing a ruckus in my mansion. These people do know that I could get them arrested for trespassing right?"There he is." Aiden pointed at me. I am three years older than this idiot and he has no respect for me. I smirked and found a seat on the couch again. Emille has been inside for a while now. After slapping me, she decided to relax herself. Perhaps she is asleep and can't hear all the noises these men are making. "Gentlemen, this is my residence. Barging in and making a fuss can make me call the human police on you. I don't want to stop so low to embarrass you. What do I owe the honor of this visit?" I asked them.Alpha Kane scoffed, "Can you listen to him talk? He's asking us questions when he obviously knows why we are here." He said to Aiden and th
EMILLE'S POV Right after my brother and Aiden left, I felt the urge to sneak back home and check what was really going on. What they said can't be ignored? Perhaps my father had woken up already and they don't want to tell me. Maybe that is why they need me back home? Or this could be a silly trap set by my brother to get me back in prison?Either way, I am still going to check if everything is fine at home. I am also curious to know if my father is awake or not. At least he did not die, that's what I am most relieved about.I got into the woods and followed a shortcut back home. I could not help but think about the drama he made earlier. He was acting like he could not fight them. I can't help but laugh at his silliness. Why do I even find it funny that he is doing that? I absolutely don't understand myself either anymore. I finally got to my neighbourhood and sneaked to the house. There's a gate at the back of the house that's an emergency exit, it's usually locked from
EMILLE'S POV After being confused and not knowing what to do next I decided to go back to him. Alpha Bryan. I wanted to vent some of my anger on him. This would have never happened if he had just stayed away from me and pretended he did not see any of the things my ex was doing to me. Of course he did this out of his own selfish interest. I keep asking myself why the moon goddess decided to give me this evil guy as a mate. I know I am troublesome and hard to deal with but there are other girls out there who are ten times more evil than me. What does it mean I am admitting to being evil I am just saying there are so many people in the world he could call his mate why didn't even bother to disturb me if he doesn't like me? I will never stop asking myself this. As soon as I got to his mansion, he came down the stairs with a smile on his face.I feel like ripping his face off because he must be enjoying what he has done to my family. Though my family has a problem, I don't think they
AIDEN'S POV I left Alpha Logan's house and headed straight to a bar to drink my troubles away. It's not that it would be solved anyways. I decided to drive back home and have that drink at home instead of getting drunk at a bar. This is all because of what is happening between Emille and I. She wants to leave me, I don't want to. She thinks it's that easy to leave after everything I have planned to do? I keep wondering how that evil guy came to know everything about me. I made sure I hid her enough so he wouldn't see her, yet he still found her. More than anything, that is annoying. She hasn't told her father anything, they gave me a questioning look when she spilled that I cheated earlier. I thought I wouldn't escape it. ~ FLASHBACK ~"What was that about? What does she mean by you cheating on her?" Alpha Logan asked me. I gave a nervous smile, "I think she is looking for a way to get out of what we want her to do. I also have no idea what she is talking about." Ka
RAFAEL'S POV I wasn’t going to let her go.Not yet.She was still looking at me like I was some joke, like she wasn’t in any real danger. That stubborn fire in her eyes refused to dim, and it irritated me more than I wanted to admit.I had given her a choice—keep my secret, and I’d keep hers. Simple. But simple wasn’t enough for her, was it?She shifted slightly, her gaze flickering toward the door like she was already planning an escape.I sighed. “You’re still thinking about running, aren’t you?”Nora snorted. “Wouldn’t you?”I smirked. “Oh, I would. If I thought I had a chance.”Her jaw tightened at that, but she said nothing.I took a step closer, lowering my voice just enough to make her listen. “See, that’s the problem, little wolf. I don’t trust you.”Her brows furrowed. “Good. I don’t trust you either.”I chuckled. “Of course you don’t. But unlike you, I have something to lose.”Her eyes narrowed. “And I don’t?”I tilted my head, watching her carefully. “Do you?”For a brief
Rafael’s POVI hadn’t planned to say it.The words just slipped out.“I want you.”It wasn’t supposed to leave my mouth, but the moment I saw her face—those sharp eyes, that stubborn chin, those damn lips that had the audacity to smirk at me—I lost control for a second. A single second, but it was enough.Her expression shifted, her brows shooting up in surprise before she let out a small, incredulous laugh. “What?”I clenched my jaw, irritation bubbling inside me. I wasn’t supposed to react like this. I wasn’t supposed to be stunned by her. I was the Lycan Prince. People feared me. Respected me. And yet, she was looking at me like I was some confused boy tripping over his own words.Annoying.I took a step closer, watching as her smirk grew wider instead of shrinking in fear. Most people would have cowered by now. Most people would have dropped their heads and trembled under my presence. But her?She tilted her chin up, daring me.I should have ignored it. I should have let it go. Bu
NORA'S POVI should have listened.That was the thought running through my head as I sat on the cold floor of Rafael’s closet, staring up at him. His smirk made my skin crawl, his eyes dark with amusement—and something else.Anger.But before I could fully grasp how much trouble I was in, my mind took me back to earlier today.FLASHBACK "Anora, get back here!"Whenever my mom used my full name, I knew I was doomed.I stood in the middle of the living room, my arms crossed, trying not to look like I cared. My mother, Luna Emille, paced back and forth, her heels clicking against the marble floor.My father, Alpha Bryan, sat on the couch with his arms folded, watching me with that silent, disapproving stare that somehow made me feel worse than my mother’s yelling."I told you," my mother seethed. "I warned you to stay away from Rafael!""Mom, I didn’t—""Don’t lie to me!" She snapped, turning sharply to face me. Her dark eyes burned with frustration. "Not only did you disobey us, but yo
NORA'S POVI messed up.I really, really messed up.The moment the words slipped out of my mouth, I knew I had just dug my own grave."No, I don't! How am I supposed to know someone kissed you and ran away?"I wanted to slap myself right there and then. What kind of idiot blurts that out? Rafael had just been questioning me, and I should have acted confused, uninterested, maybe even disgusted. Instead, I basically confirmed his suspicions.I could see it in his eyes—sharp, calculating. The moment I spoke, he knew. He didn't have proof yet, but I had just given him something to hold on to."I don't think I've ever told anyone that the girl I'm looking for kissed me and ran away. How do you know that?" He questioned me. I shook my head, "I think you heard wrong your highness. How am I supposed to know if someone kissed you? I just suggested it!""You seem awfully defensive, princess," he said, stepping closer. "Why do I get the feeling that you know exactly what I'm talking about?"I s
RAFAEL’S POVShe didn’t answer immediately. For a moment, she just stared at me as if she had seen a ghost. But then, just as quickly, she scowled. "Move," she muttered, trying to step past me.I blocked her path."You bumped into me and didn’t even bother to apologize," I said lazily, tilting my head as I observed her.She rolled her eyes. "I don’t apologize to people who stand in my way."Feisty.I liked that."Do you know who I am?" I questioned her. She scoffed, "Am I supposed to know?"I don't need anyone to tell me from her reaction that she knows who I am but she's just pretending not to. Is she doing this to get me mad or what? Most of the girls have seen are always mesmerized by my beauty and everything else, but this one is just different from everyone. She won't even give me an opportunity to talk to her, she's exactly like her mother. Even though I don't have to ability to use my werewolf senses, I know she smells really nice. I was about to say something else when I no
RAFAEL'S POVWhere the hell is she?My fists clenched as I stormed through the streets, my mind burning with anger. That damn girl. That infuriating, rebellious girl. I had never met anyone like her in my entire life.She didn’t just humiliate me—she had the audacity to kiss me. Multiple times. Without my consent.I still felt the ghost of her lips on mine, not in a way that made me feel anything good, but in a way that made me want to strangle something.Me. The Lycan Prince. The one everyone feared. And she? A nobody.Yet she had dared to toy with me, slipping through my fingers like smoke every time I tried to catch her. When I finally got close enough, my claws ripped through her clothes by accident, and that’s when I saw it—her white wolf tattoo on her thigh.A symbol of purity and power.But before I could even process it, she had hit me so hard that I nearly lost balance. And then, just like that, she was gone.No one had ever dared to strike me before. No one had ever looked m
Nora's POV"Get her! Don't let her get away!"I kept laughing as I ran around with them trying to catch me, but I knew it was going to be impossible because I brought them to a place where I knew all the exits and shortcuts. It was going to be hard for them to catch me. I'm not someone that can easily be caught just because they want to.I kept turning them around and making them move in circles for more than an hour before I finally decided to leave the place. I was tired of running around. It was like an exercise for me, and I was used to being chased after doing something that I'm not supposed to do. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop anyway.Those bastards were the ones who tried to bully me in the first place, and I only did what I had to do to defend myself. Everyone thinks what I do is extreme, but they are the ones who start everything. I don't just go around looking for trouble—unless they start it. And when they do, I don't take it easy at all. I go all in and do whatev
BRYAN'S POV"Did you just say the notorious Lycan prince is in our territory?" I asked again to be sure I heard correctly."And he's looking for my daughter?" Emille added.Winner nodded. "It's true. Though people don't know he's looking for your daughter, from the description, I already know it was Nora who offended him in the first place."The Lycan family is the only one around, and they are very powerful rulers who have a lot of packs under them and a large territory. They are slightly bigger than ours. They have a lot of warriors and also very powerful weapons that could make them win any war.If I were to say the truth, they have grown over the last few years, and they are well-respected by everyone, including us. No one tries to look for their trouble in order not to provoke them. I've also had a good relationship and cooperation with them, as we are the second-biggest pack.We give them the leadership of the entire werewolf community as the largest pack. Important decisions co
EMILLE'S POV ~ YEARS LATER ~"Where the hell is Nora hiding? That disobedient and rebellious child! I'm going to deal with her today!" I shouted around, looking for my last child, who is also my only daughter.I'm holding a large whip that I'm going to use to teach her a lesson today. This is my first time doing this. The house has always been pampering her, and now she doesn't know her place. I'm going to make sure she doesn't cause trouble for anyone anymore!I don't know why she's so rebellious and troublesome. She doesn't listen to me. She already has more than enough situations to put her in a gentle place, but she is always so troublesome. I know I always encourage her to stand up for herself, but this is way too much."Mom, you can't find her anywhere. She's not at home right now. She's probably out again causing trouble," my eldest son, Nathan, said, coming with his brother, Jaden, who is my second child."That's because everyone pampers her, and she has become a spoiled brat
