"Where?" Alisha asked in shock as she heard Mary's suggestion.

Unable to understand what she meant, they had to leave from here.

Where would they go?

Moreover, her college and the other kids' schools, or this home, is the only thing they have.

If they went to another place, how would things be restarted? That's quite a question.

"I don't know anything, Alisha, but what I feel is that we need to leave. We can't be here, or else he will harm others and then will marry you. No way I want you or the other orphanage kids to suffer, so it's better we escape," Mary explained, all panicked.

"But we don't have money, we don't have a place, we don't even know where we will go!" Alisha questioned.

"We can go anywhere, but it's better than this place. It will be fine. About money, I can sell this house," Mary answered as she sat down, her stress showing all over her face.

Alisha sat beside her, wiping her tears, holding Mary's hand. "Mother, what about everyone's education? Your work, how will we

    "Miss, we can only buy it at this price. The house is old, and you want all the cash in a hurry," the man said, sitting on the chair, negotiating the price."But $50k is too low. The whole house is worth more than that. How can you buy it for so little, Mister?" Mary asked, looking at the man, who appeared to be in his 40s. They were here negotiating the price for the house.This house held a special place in her heart. Her late husband had built it, and they never had children. They adopted Alisha, and after her husband passed away, Mary turned the house into a small orphanage, adopting more children or taking them in after various incidents.Never did she imagine she would have to sell it, but today was that day. She didn't want to face tomorrow knowing Alice would come and cause trouble because they refused to marry Alisha to him.Here she was, ready to sell it now. The only person willing to do so urgently was exploiting the situation, knowing they were in urgent need and taking a

    “Sis, where are we going? Why is Mother selling the house?” one of the kids asked, concern etched on their faces as they all sat in Alisha's room, feeling stressed.Mary was busy downstairs, dealing with the situation, while they anxiously awaited her return, hoping to get some answers.Alisha looked sadly at the children. She didn't know how to ease her guilt, knowing she was the reason for everything. It weighed heavily on her heart.She didn't know what to say or how to answer their questions. The decision to leave had been made, but neither she nor Mary knew where they would go or what the future held.Beyond her own regrets, Alisha was heartbroken, especially knowing how much this house meant to Mary. It held so many memories, especially of her late husband, which the kids might not fully understand.“We will go to a better place. Mother Mary thinks this place is a bit old for us all, and we need a change of surroundings. It will be better,” Alisha lied, forcing the words past he

    "It's my daughter, not a thing, and even if you are the last guy existing around this whole globe, I won't be marrying my daughter to you," Mary retorted, her voice laced with defiance as she squared her shoulders, attempting to conceal her fear.In all her years, she had never encountered people like Alice—wealthy, powerful, and utterly intimidating. This was uncharted territory for her.She knew the danger he posed, evidenced by his underhanded tactics in purchasing her house. If she had known, she would have given the house away for free rather than let it fall into his hands.But now, she realised the extent of her mistake in selling it without proper research. Money could cover a multitude of sins, and she had unwittingly played into his hands.He was a monster, capable of burying her with ease and covering his tracks without a second thought.Even as she filled with these thoughts, one question nagged at her: Why had he bought the house in the first place? The unsettling realis

    "See, Alice, I'm literally begging you, please just stay away from my daughter. She's too innocent for the crap you're trying to pull," Mary resorted to politeness, knowing nothing was working in her favour if she kept behaving like this."I don't see you begging, though. I don't know how sitting counts as begging, but you do sound sincere," Alice said, one eyebrow raised. "But I'm not in the mood to accept sincerity."Mary looked at him with surprise shooting from her eyes. Never in her life had she met someone so heartless and cocky. It didn't matter that he didn't even seem to understand any emotions. All he cared about was what he wanted."Keep looking like that, maybe my heart will melt, and I'll take my Angel with me now. You won't mind, right?" Alice's lips spread into a mocking smirk."Take your money back. I don't want to sell anything, at least not to you," Mary pushed back the suitcase of money, feeling disgusted to even touch it now."Quite a drama, but don't worry. Even i

    "Alisha!" Mary hurried into the room, her footsteps echoing with haste, and glanced at the kids and Alisha gathered together."Mother," Alisha stood up, walking towards her, eager to know if everything had gone well.Mary sadly smiled as she hugged Alisha, her thoughts filled with remorse. 'I'm sorry, Alisha. I never wanted this, but please forgive me someday. I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive myself, but I hope you can.'Her heart ached as she embraced Alisha, knowing that what she was doing was no less than a sin. Yet, it was a choice she made to protect Alisha from a fate even worse.‘It's a marriage. Alice is rich,’ Mary tried to rationalise her decision, knowing deep down it wasn't entirely right. But for Alisha, he wasn't half bad; at least he'd be well-off."What's wrong, Mother? Why do you seem so sad?" Alisha asked, squeezing Mary tightly in her arms."Yeah, why are you sad?" the other kids chimed in, their concern evident."I'm not sad, just tired," Mary replied,

    “Please,” Alisha choked as she thrashed more in Alice's arms, tears spilling from her eyes.Alice took her close to his car, and his driver opened the door for them. He sat inside, placing Alisha in his lap.“Let's go home,” he ordered, and pushed the button to part the partition between the driver and him because Alisha was crying so hard. He didn't want anyone to hear her beautiful crying voice and see her beautiful tears.Vroom! Vroom!The driver turned on the engine and drove off from the place.Alice looked at Alisha, who was just crying now, doing nothing, all shocked, her nose having little red dots, her cheeks all red too, with her choking in her breath.He sighed. “Don't cry anymore, Angel. You're going to get your asthma attack. Please try to breathe in and out.”He rubbed her back as he softly wiped her tears with the back of his other hand.Alisha looked at him, her eyes all red, her heart feeling like it got clogged.Mary's words roamed inside her head, thinking that now

    Alice snapped back, not angrily but not softly either.What did she think his mother was?Even for the world, his mother wouldn't sacrifice him. Maybe she would, but who knows? He did feel a sense of obligation to save others, like Mary did. His mother could sacrifice him too, but he wasn't going to admit that.He was his mother's priority, so it wasn't an issue for the time being.“My mother wouldn't even consider it. I'm sure you threatened her,” Alisha dug her nails into his chest, even through his shirt, scratching his skin.Alice winced a little as her nails dug into his skin. “You're not the one and only child of your so-called Mother Mary, so of course, she has her choices to make. She chose the other kids, leaving you aside. I won't do that to you for anyone, that's for sure.”He patted her head, relieved to see her seeming more relaxed, her breathing returning to normal.He could banter with her for a whole lifetime if it meant he could ease her pain.

    Noticing Alisha's silence, Alice asked, “Angel, do you want to eat something or do something to improve your mood?”Alisha looked at him, giving him a look that clearly conveyed, 'Are you seriously asking this?'“What?” Alice shrugged, looking at her. “I think having your favourite food is good when your mood is bad.”“I don't want to eat anything, I just don't,” Alisha rudely answered, pushing back the anxiety creeping in.This man knows he won and he's not even considering how she may be feeling; he's behaving like a proper jerk.Here she is, feeling nauseous, her heart in grief, and still, he has the audacity to ask if she wants to eat something she likes. It's like he doesn't understand her at all.He is the devil trying to disguise himself as a saint, and she knows one thing: in one way or another, he can never be good in her eyes.She never felt anyone was this wrong or bad, but after meeting Alice, she believes the worst exists, and he is that worst in her eyes.How much hate s

    He glanced up and noticed who barged into his office without even knocking, making a ruckus.“What the hell, man? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?”Alice sighed, recognizing his only friend. “Edward, I'm really not in the mood for chit-chat. You see that door you just breezed through like you owned the place? How about you use it to leave?”“Since when did you get a say in this? I'm here because Aunt Daisy is worried sick about you. How can you just ignore her? You've never done that,” Edward said, pulling up a chair and ignoring Alice's glares.“Not when she's faking illness to buy time for my soon-to-be wife's escape plan,” he retorted, eyeing his so-called friend.“She's not doing it to spite you, Alice. She just doesn't want you to hurt anyone. That matters, you know, even if you don't want to acknowledge it,” Edward reasoned, his expression serious.“I don't want to acknowledge it. You can leave now, Edward. I don't want to hurt you, but you're pushing it,” Alice said, g

    "Have you found her yet? It's been more than three days now," Alice, with a tired-looking face and dark circles under his eyes, asked the guys standing in front of him.His once-perfect face, now disheveled, still screams perfection, but with an air of exhaustion.For the last three days, he hasn't gone to work or slept, as he has tried his best to find Alisha.Even after using his Mafia connections, he is still unable to find Alisha, driving him crazy bit by bit."Sir, we've tried everywhere, but it seems like she vanished into thin air.""Are you even hearing yourselves, motherfuckers? I'm paying your detective firm thousands of dollars to find her, and you still don't have a single clue. How incompetent can you all be?" He shouted at the guys from the best detective firm.He hired police, his Mafia connections, and detectives, but nothing.Where did Alisha vanish? She didn't take any transport, didn't leave any hotel, and didn't take any money, as nothing was missing from his room.

    "Mom, why did you say you'll take her to the pack? We're not even allowed there, and we haven't received a response to your letter yet," Levi followed Maya into the room, while Alisha rested in another room, exhausted from the walk."I've made my decision. Even if we don't get a reply in two days, I'm going to pack. No one can stop me; it's the only way out," Maya declared, her expression serious."What do you mean, Mom? Do you want to get killed? We were banished from that pack. We'll be considered rogues, and you, me, and Rish don't even have wolves to protect us. Plus, Alisha doesn't know anything, and she's cursed," Levi's eyes widened, showing her panic."Do you think we can hide our whole lives? I don't want to hide anymore. Why should we? Especially when I've found the royal heir. It's time to face it, Levi. I left the pack because I wanted to correct my mistake. Now that I have Alisha, I want to go back and stand for what I believe in."Levi sighed, unsure of what to say. As m

    "Did you two have a good walk?" Maya asked as she saw Alisha and Levi approaching. She felt relieved seeing them.She had been stressed, thinking about what they might be talking about because she didn't want Levi to spill everything, or worse, to have a slip of the tongue."Yes, Mom, we had a great talk. I love her; she's totally funny," Levi smiled as she supported Alisha and helped her to sit on the sofa."How are the wounds, Alisha?" Maya walked close to Alisha and sat beside her."Sore, but they're healing faster," Alisha smiled as she spoke."She told me her wounds always heal faster," Levi chimed in, passing on Alisha's words to Maya.Maya nodded, understanding exactly what Levi wanted to say. That meant Alisha had her wolf; it's just the curse that's stopping it.Without a wolf, it's impossible to heal so quickly. But how her wolf is still working even with the curse is questionable.Or maybe it's because she is of royal blood, which makes a huge difference. Normally, anyone w

    “Haha,” Alisha laughed. “I am sharp, I don't think I am innocent, or else how would I be able to run?”Levi moved her head left and right. Even though she didn't know Alisha well, she could still see that Alisha was strangely different while telling everything: how she met Alice and how even her dog got killed.Levi couldn't help but feel something was very weird with Alisha. She wanted to talk about this to her mother Maya, but then she had to come here for a walk with Alisha. But for sure she would have a talk about this whole thing after this walk.There was something very strange about Alisha, an innocence she had never seen in anyone. Maybe it was because of the curse, but she wasn't sure about it all.“You are sharp, no doubt, but you are not sharp enough,” Levi stated.Visible wrinkled lines showed on Alisha's forehead as she heard Levi's words. “What do you mean?”She didn't know what Levi wanted to say. Clearly, it was confusing for her to understand. She did have innocence,

    "Legs feeling comfortable?" Levi asked, seeing Alisha limp.She felt Alisha's unease, understanding anyone would feel the same, so she wanted to make her comfortable."Yes, they are fine. It's just that I'm walking with sore feet, so it's a bit difficult," Alisha smiled as she answered."Oh, it will heal soon," Levi smiled back, holding Alisha's hand to support her walking."To be honest, my wounds usually heal very soon, just like magic. I'm glad my body has immunity and it helps."‘It's because you're a Wolf,’ Levi thought, unable to say it to Alisha's face, knowing it's not the time to reveal the truth.Alisha looked at Levi, noticing she seemed lost in thought. "What are you thinking?"She didn't know what else to ask, but she had to start the conversation. She couldn't keep walking like this.Though it's fresh, the forest is clearly better than city life. The peace and the fresh scent of woods make it so tranquil.She could spend her whole life here, even if she weren't in a situ

    Maya muttered, not knowing what she should say or do. It's literally such a pissing situation. If she can, she wants to kill him for such things.Without meeting him, she can tell how much of a disgusting person he is. Even before Levi and Rish told her about him, she thought he's just some money-blinded person who loves to look down upon everyone because they're rich. But that doesn't make sense now.She can just say he's worse than animals. Even the mate system in the werewolf world doesn't treat women as poorly as he did with Alisha, claiming that he loves her.But what the question here is, how he even gets close to her. That just shudders everything inside her. By thinking, just the mere chance is like he's her mate. The mere thought is terrifying aloneHe doesn't deserve to be mated with Alisha, their queen, but if he is Alisha's mate, no matter how much she tries to protect Alisha. She won't be able to do so.If he is her mate, not even the Moon Goddess can save Alisha.She can

    “Please have a seat. I hope you feel better after resting. Is the chair comfortable?” Levi politely pulled out a chair for Alisha, leaving her shocked by her sudden politeness.Both Levi and Rish were giving her wary looks, as if ready to kick her out of the house. If Maya hadn't intervened, they might have done just that.Even though she knew it wasn't their fault, they weren't being rude; it was because of Alice's behaviour at the shop. She was the one who asked for stones, unaware that it was an exclusive store.How could she have known? It was her first time going somewhere like that, especially coerced into wedding ring shopping, from which she had already run away.When they revealed yesterday that, to save their jobs, they pretended it to be silver rings , Alisha could only imagine the true cost of the ring.Sudden politeness was still very shocking indeed.“Please sit, why are you standing? You're still injured, you should sit,” Rish's words snapped her back from her thoughts.

    "You don't have to worry about anything; I am sure father will reply," Levi said, getting close to Maya and hugging her. She knew how her mother suffered through all this."I regret everything. I am sorry. I can never repay you for what you both lost because of me," Maya's tears started falling from her eyes as she began crying."Anyone in your place would have done the same, Mom. And we are glad you didn't leave us in that pack. We don't want to live without you," Levi hugged her tighter, not wanting to see her mother cry.Maybe she had always been a bit angry or in pain because of what she never got, but that didn't mean she didn't see her mother doing her best for her and Rish.She did sometimes miss her father, but she suppressed all urges, knowing it wasn't something her mother was at fault for.It's just that time was like that, and nobody could stop anything. Everything was meant to happen, and it did."Still, that doesn't mean I should have been so selfish to take you both awa
