Alicia's POV

I was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast, when suddenly the door flung open, and my stepmother stormed in, furious.

"Alicia, you fool," she scoffed, startling me as I stood and bowed to her.

"What do you think you are doing?" she asked, her eyes glaring with anger.

"Why haven't you cleaned your stepbrother's room?" she growled, raising her hand to strike me.

I moved in fright. "Your Highness, I wanted to do that after I finished preparing my breakfast..."

"Shut your mouth, you pretentious fox," she snapped, gritting her teeth as she clenched her fist. "Don't you know you are supposed to finish your house chores before thinking of eating any food?"

"You are so lazy and clumsy, just like your late mother?" She was at it again, insulting my late mum after all she did for her. I was fuming inside but couldn't do anything. I was powerless before her. She looked over at the pot of food I was cooking. "You were busy trying to satisfy your cravings before cleaning my son's room. How dare you?" she snapped as she upturned the pot, making the food pour on the floor. My eyes glistened with unshed tears. All the efforts I had put into preparing that meal had gone to waste. I didn't eat the previous night; I had slept hungry.

I woke up this morning and did my chores. I cleaned everywhere, hoping to clean my stepbrother's room immediately after I finished having breakfast as I was very hungry. Everything changed, everything changed after my father died. My stepmother has become more vile and wicked than she was before. I wasn't allowed to eat meals prepared by the royal chef. She told me I would start cooking my food myself.

"You didn't have to pour the food away, Your Highness," I said through sobs.

"Shut up, you bastard!" she scoffed. If anyone was to be called a bastard, it is her son Enzo. Has she forgotten how they came to this palace? How my mum had taken them in when she said my father, the Alpha and King of the pack, was the father of her son?

"What have I ever done to you? Why do you hate me so much?" I queried.

"I wish you would just die as your mother did and leave the face of this earth, you dirty fool," she scowled as she spat on my face. I felt so disgusted. Why was this happening to me? For how long will I be able to suffer at the hands of my stepmother and stepbrother?

"What are you doing there, just standing?" Her eyes shot daggers at me. "Who will clean up this mess on the floor?" she asked, interrupting my thoughts.

I bent down and started packing the food amidst sobs. "And once you finish packing the food, go straight to your brother's room and scrub it clean. Did you hear me?" She asked, waiting for a response. When she didn't get any response, she charged me. I was infuriated. I knew at some point I needed to stand up to her. If I continued acting dumb, she would always treat me like I didn't belong. This is my father's house. Things didn't have to change for me just because he had died.

"Don't hit me, Your Highness," I snapped, my eyes glowing with a mix of fear and anger. Fear for what my outburst might cause and anger for everything I have been put through since my father's demise.

"What have I ever done to you to deserve this?" I continued. The look on her face showed how shocked she was that I had stood up to her for the first time.

"Are you talking to me like that?" she looked around, surprised. "Wait, did you just raise your voice at me?" she scowled. I couldn't bring myself to speak. My words got caught in my throat. I swallowed hard, dreading what would happen next.

"You despicable brat!" she said as she came at me. As soon as she raised her hand to strike me, we were interrupted by a palace guard.

"I am sorry to interrupt, Your Highness, but your attention is needed in the throne room." She turned to him with curiosity, raising her brows at the urgency in his tone. "What's this about?"

"The Prime Minister, Minister of Justice, and Minister of Defense seek your audience."

"Alright, you're dismissed. Tell them I'll be with them in a minute." She said to the guard who left the kitchen to deliver her message to the ministers.

She looked back at me and smiled wickedly. "Don't think you've escaped. I have some very important guests to attend to..." She moved closer and said in a low tone, "When I return, I'll think of the appropriate punishment for you." She shoved me against the wall and stormed out of the kitchen.

I sat on the floor, sobbing. "Why did you have to die and leave me, Dad? I don't deserve any of this. This was not the life you promised me." I wiped my tears and bent down to clean up the mess my stepmother had just made with the food. Then, all of a sudden, what the palace guard said crossed my mind. "The Prime Minister, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Defense seek your audience."

If they are all here at once, then they must have something very important to discuss.

I stood to my feet and darted down the stairs toward the throne room. I stood behind the door and eavesdropped in a bid to hear what they were saying.

"The forty-day mourning period is over," the Prime Minister said.

The Minister of Defense grunted, "We need someone smart and passionate about the citizens to continue the legacy of the late King Albert."

"The throne has been empty, and it is unsafe for the people. It is time for the rise of a new reign," the Minister of Justice added.

He looked around and gave a low grunt. "By the way, where is Princess Alicia? I haven't seen her around." He shifted his gaze to the queen, who was sitting on the throne with her legs crossed.

The queen put on a pale and worried face. "Alicia is down with a fever, so I told her to rest." Wait, what? I thought. What did she mean by Alicia is down with a fever? How can she lie so blatantly about me?

"Alicia is smart and selfless. At the age of ten, she mastered all the books of the kingdom, and she has a big heart for the people," the Minister of Justice said proudly as he smiled.

The queen sat on the throne, staring at him with grave anger, but she remained mute.

The Prime Minister became furious. "What are you trying to insinuate?"

"She's the king's only legitimate child, and she passed all the requirements to lead this nation," the Minister of Justice elaborated.

"Watch your tongue!" The Prime Minister snapped at him. "The princess is only a lady; she can't do much."

"Prince Enzo is our only option for the throne," the Minister of Defense said.

"He cannot become the king; he lacks in so many areas," the Minister of Justice rebelled.

The ministers started arguing among themselves. I wasn't surprised at how hard the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense fought to defend the queen and justify Prince Enzo as the heir to the throne. They had been frequenting the palace since my father died, plotting with my stepmother and going home with gifts. They have been bribed by her. The Minister of Justice, on the other hand, was one of my late father's true allies and loved me dearly.

The queen banged the table and smiled. "You have nothing to worry about. Alicia will be given the position to oversee the affairs of the place as the Minister of Affairs. That way, she'd be able to support her stepbrother, the prince." I stared at her, and anger brewed within me.

I knew she was lying through her teeth. She would never let me have any position in the palace. She was only saying that to appease the ministers. I have to seize this moment, I thought. This was my chance to let the Minister of Justice know that I wasn't sick as my stepmother had insinuated, and I was perfectly fine.

As soon as I took a step forward and was about to enter the throne room, a hand caught me from behind and spun me around.

"Now, where the hell do you think you are going?"

Summoning all my strength, I pushed him aside, causing him to stagger, and ran into the throne room."Please, don't listen to the queen. There is nothing wrong with me," I pleaded, fear evident in my voice. The ministers and the queen all looked at me in astonishment."Didn't you say she was sick? Shouldn't a sick person be getting treatment?" Enzo looked at the queen, his eyes filled with fury. "Care to explain what is happening? Why did you lie about the princess?""What do you mean by she lied?" the Prime Minister retorted, shooting daggers at him.They argued with each other until the queen said, "Enough!"

The sooner you realize that, the better for all of us," Alpha Astor exclaimed, stunning me before I could create any more disturbances, as I had already gone too far, causing me to lose consciousness almost instantly. "Guards, keep a close watch on her and ensure no one enters the room without my explicit permission. Is that clear?" he instructed the guards, who couldn't meet his gaze, and they all nodded in agreement. I awoke from my motionless slumber and noticed that everything had become quiet. "Ouch... Oh... my head... it... it hurts," I murmured to myself as I slowly placed my feet on the floor, and suddenly, the memories came rushing back. "Did we... did we kiss?" I pondered to myself, and my eyes widened as the memories flooded back. When I had been dazed, I couldn't recall what had happened next, but now, with my pounding headache, it felt like the aftermath of a hangover from too much drinking. I felt dreadful and disoriented, ha

The kitchen restrictions forbidding me from touching plates or cutlery were soon forgotten when the palace maids assigned me more strenuous tasks."Alicia," the head maid called out.Without hesitation, I rushed to her side, lowering my head in a show of submission, avoiding any eye contact. I knew too well the consequences of defiance as the memory of a previous maid who suffered severe chastening, enduring a week of starvation, lingered in my mind."Your duties will include mopping the floors, cleaning the windows, doing the laundry, and attending to her highness in the king's chamber. From this day onward, you are officially assigned as her personal maid. Do you understand?" she snapped, her sharp tone shattering the last remnants of my fading courage."Y-yes, ma'am," I stammered, my voice barely audible."I said, I can't hear you!" she bellowed, jolting me into a state of composure.

It took a good three minutes before he uttered those words.With trembling uncertainty, I finally gave in, gesturing for him to enter. Yet, fear gnawed at me, prompting me to check behind him, making sure he wasn't followed, especially by his supposed Luna.

Astor...you chose this thing over me? This smelly, disgusting thing over me? And you had the audacity to sleep with me yesterday? Are you shameless?" Melissa's anger was evident as she hurled my makeup kits at Alpha Astor, who quickly stepped forward to hold her hands, attempting to calm her down and prevent her from attacking me."Calm down, Melissa. It was a mistake. There's no need to make a fuss about it," Alpha Astor tried to defend himself, desperately holding onto her to prevent any further escalation, as Melissa seethed with fury and a desire to harm me."I didn't come here to cause trouble, Melissa.

I held her tightly to my chest as sorrowful tears rolled down my face, knowing that I would never see her again. Astor's hand rested on my shoulders, comforting me, while Lily also offered her support. After everything she had been through, she definitely didn't deserve to die. I was so torn. I carried her lifeless body as I approached the royal palace, and silence enveloped every corner of the castle. Even the pack, having heard her voice and her last wish, was in awe when she suddenly passed away.Although I and others had known beforehand that she wouldn't survive, as the werewolf doctor had told us she had only a limited time left, her passing still came as a painful shock when it happened so suddenly after she opened her eyes."Alicia, you didn't deserve this.

Moving will open the wound again," Ramirez cautioned, and I obediently settled back into the bed.I clutched my throbbing head, my memory slowly returning. I recalled arguing with my mate, Ramirez, defending him passionately before collapsing to the floor. That was where my recollection ended. The last thing I remembered was thinking about Kael."Where are Kael and Leo?" I inquired, my tone filled with concern, while Ramirez appeared hesitant to respond to my question. His reluctance sent shivers down my spine because I remembered the warning about Kael possibly turning into the beast.The prophecy had begun to unfold, but I had prevented him from harming his father. Maybe I could truly change the prophecy, perhaps I could avert the dreadf

They are so identical that if not for the chains on their wrists, it would be very difficult to tell them apart."Mom," Kael called out, and I glanced at his wrist before responding."Did you just glance at my wrist? Are you as puzzled as others?" Kael questioned, and I quickly shook my head in denial."No, sweetheart, I was checking to see if you're feeling well and ready for the party," I fibbed. Over time, Kael had shown tendencies toward aggression, and I couldn'

Can't he come here himself? Can't he bring the entire werewolf pack?" Lily suggested, gazing at Lex, who appeared weary."I'm afraid, your grace, he can't. The entire werewolf pack has been completely wiped out, and he's left with only a few people," Lex explained, coughing severely."Is there anyone out there?" I called out, and a werewolf soldier came running, immediately bowing to me."Get him some water, a change of clothes, food, and a place to rest," I ordered the werewolf soldier, who raised his head only to bow again before assisting Lex, and they both left promp

I assisted her in sitting down on a chair."Get me a cup of water, and don't just stand there!" I commanded one of my werewolf soldiers, who were all observing the situation."Yes, your grace," one of them bowed and promptly left. He returned with a cup of water, which I handed to Lily. We all watched as she drank it without hesitation, and then she requested more."Take her to the guest's room. We'll catch up with you, Lily, once we're finished," I instructed, observing the werewolf soldier gently guiding her toward the palace hallways. I wondered what had led Lily to this state.

The sudden transition from broad daylight to complete darkness forced us to light lamps to see one another."Inform all the werewolf soldiers to stand their posts. We need to be vigilant and prepared for anything," I instructed my werewolf soldier captain, who promptly bowed and hurried off to relay my orders."What in the world is happening, Rei?" I asked, hoping she might have some insight."Goddess! I thought you had worked closely with your master before her passing. Hasn't she ever unleashed something like this?"

The last time I saw her in the garden, she was badly wounded, and I feared I might lose her. Thankfully, I managed to summon the werewolf doctor, who treated her promptly."Hey, honey, you look tired," Rei said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and settled onto my lap."So, you're not in pain anymore?"

When I glanced beside me, I realized his hand was still holding mine. I gently stroked his hair, enjoying the sight of his peaceful slumber. Observing his calm face was something I cherished. I continued this for over twenty minutes before regaining my composure. There was no denying that Ramirez was a remarkable young man, and any woman would be fortunate to have him as a mate. I considered myself lucky to have ended up with the best.I turned my gaze to the left and noticed that one of the baby's eyes was open, but he was merely amusing himself by sucking his finger. The other baby, with the golden chain, remained tranquil and fast asleep. I could see a reflection of myself in him. Amidst these thoughts, my mind drifted back to Melicia. I wished I could see her at that moment, and tears rolled down my face."What do I do now? Is my mate going to die as
