THIRD POV

The attack came at dawn, when the mist still clung to the ground and visibility was poor. Not with armies or weapons, but with whispers.

The guards patrolling the pack borders heard them first—soft, melodic voices calling their names, luring them into the tree line. Two guards disappeared before the others raised the alarm.

By mid-morning, the pack house was in lockdown. Carlos had doubled the guard, positioning his strongest fighters at every entrance. No one entered or left without his direct approval.

"We do not understand what happened. We just heard whispers, and some of the guards were already gone without trace," one of the guards reported to Carlos.

Carlos's jaw tightened. "They're testing our defenses, looking for weaknesses."

"But who are 'they'? We've seen nothing, no tracks, no scents."

The pack was beginning to panic.

They spent time trying to figure out what was going on and how to stop whatever danger was lurking. Carlos was more worried than everyone else.

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    He Is Mine

    Nora PovI ran through the woods, breathing heavily. My eyes staring ahead of the huge lavender tree upfront. I didn't care if my heart was about to fall off my chest, I was determined to get there in less than five minutes. I wanted to be strong for him. I ran like my life depends on it. Well, my heart depends on it. I hated when he looked at me with such disappointment. "Hey, weakling! Get the hell out of the way!" I heard a grumpy voice, running past me with speed. "She looks so pathetic running like that!" Another sneered, veering past me. "She must be human!" The first one spat out, following his colleague. "Fuck you both!" I spat out angrily, inside of me.As much as I wanted to tell them that, I don't want to look for trouble. I don't want my brother to be caught in-between his duty to the pack as the future beta and his duty as a brother to a pathetic loser like me.If I wasn't so unlucky, I was supposed to be ranked amongst the strongest werewolf in the pack. That's bec

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    You Think I Will Accept You?

    Nora POVI stared at him, his cold-looking face, devoid of all emotions. He was staring blankly at me, as if I were some useless piece of trash. But those weren't the eyes that looked at me years ago. "I am your mate" I managed to blurt out, hating the question he just asked. My hands were shaking and I felt as though there were thousands of spears jabbed at my heart. How could he ask if he was going to accept me or not? If he wasn't going to accept me then what? He wouldn't… I felt shaken and I could feel my hands shaking nonstop. My eyes met his. He was looking emotionless as if I was nobody to him. Didn't he feel the slightest bond? "You think I will accept you?" His voice rang out, making my body shiver involuntarily. But there was a part of me deep down that hated those words.A part that wanted him to look at me like he did some years back. Being mates wasn't a child's play. He shouldn't joke like that. And that's when my ears picked the dreaded words. My legs almost gave w

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    He Wanted Me Dead

    NORA POVI got home, feeling devastated at what happened. I thought he was different from all the others. My heart bleeding in undeniable pain, I dragged my broken soul inside.I was about to push the door open when I heard whispers from my parents. A word penetrated into my ears, my hand on the door growing stiff.“ Do we tell her that she isn't our daughter? She is human. She would never get a wolf. I feel for how she is trying to be what she can never be," that was my dad's voice.“ I forbid it, Nathan. No one will tell my daughter anything. She is my child and I will protect her at all cost," my mother said, with finality in it.I wasn't too sure I heard it right, yet I wasn't ready to let it go. So, I pushed open the door as my heart prayed I heard wrongly. They couldn't be talking about me, right?“ Mum, dad… what's going on?” I asked, my eyes fighting off the wetness around it.As I watched the faces staring at me in shock and guilt, a pang of pain shot through my already damag

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    In A Different World

    Nora POVI tried to open my eyes but the blinding light didn't let me. I stopped trying, letting the tears flow down my eyes. I was truly dead and in the afterlife with the moon goddess.Why did I give that bastard the satisfaction of seeing me dead? I was totally useless and worthless. Maybe I should hunt him in my ghost form, at least that would teach him a lesson.“ My princess, are you alright? Why are you crying?" I heard a melodious yet anxious voice in my head and a tap on my shoulder.Did I just hear someone calling me a princess? Was I the daughter of the moon goddess? That would be great! I could just ask my mother to give me the power to hunt that bastard Carlos! I quickly flung my eyes open, the blinding light piercing through it.“ Ah!" I let out a scream, immediately shutting it again.Even if she was the moon goddess, must everything inside her temple be white? I mean extremely white that I could swear it was all purely diamonds. Slowly, I opened my eyes as I tried to

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    It Wasn't True

    Carlos' PovI went back home after rejecting the human girl. How could I accept such a weakling as my mate? I think the Moon goddess made a terrible mistake in pairing me with her. As I moved closer to the palace, I felt my heart about to explode from the pain of the mating bond. Nevertheless, I was glad I had cut off every attachment with her.I got to my chamber and lay on my bed, trying to put off whatever lingering emotions I was having for Nora. She wasn't worth my thoughts.If only her parents weren't the beta of the kingdom and her brother was my best friend, I would have kicked her out of the kingdom as soon as I found out she was human.Why would my father let a human live among us?“ You are my mate!"Her words echoed in my ears over and over again. Her broken eyes and shattered emotions tugging at my own heart. I swore it had taken me all my willpower to reject her. There was something trying to stop me. Furthermore, It was strange she could feel the mating bond when she

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    She Killed Herself

    Carlos POV“ We found a piece of shoe belonging to Nora at the tip of the cliff. It's likely she jumped off the cliff,” One of the guards had reported through the general mindlink.I heard Justin's mumbling as he raced toward the direction. I also stood there perplexed for another five minutes before dashing over too.Deep down, I had started feeling guilty if ever it was true that Nora committed suicide by jumping off the cliff.“ It can't be true," I kept repeating Justin's denial to myself, convincing myself.I ran as fast as I could in my wolf form and got there a few seconds later than Justin. I walked briskly to the spot and indeed I could perceive the scent of Nora. Since we became mates, her scent was practically hovering around me even if it's a distance away.“ It's indeed my sister's shoe but maybe she lost it," Justin said, trying to convince himself.“ That could be true. We just need to wait for the guards patrolling the river side. If she fell off the cliff, we are like

    Nora POVJust like that, I became a princess after escaping the cruel death my mate had planned for me. As I watched my new family, a tinge of sorrow pierce through my heart. It reminded me of the parents and brother I had known for a long time. A flash of sorrow passed through my very being. I was already missing my brother and my parents. I wonder what they would do when they realize I was gone.“ Can I send a message to my parents? I mean-"“ You can go and visit them anytime, my dear. But, you need to build your energy first. You lost most of your energy trying to survive the fall. Luckily, your father perceived your scent and traced your floating body," my new mother said, patting my hair.Her eyes were filled with undiluted love and care. She was epitome of beauty and regal aura. As her long golden hair flowed all over her face, she looked like the moon goddess herself.“ Tell me, my daughter. Why did you want to kill yourself?" That was my new father asking. His squinted eyes

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Can He Do It?

    THIRD POVGriffin leaned against the wall outside the dining hall, waiting. He'd been strategically positioning himself in Nora's path for days now, trying to catch a moment alone with her. He had become a regular face at the pack house. No one bothered themselves with his presence that much anymore. When she finally emerged, he straightened."Nora," he called, his voice softer than usual. "Can we talk?"She glanced his way, her expression hardening instantly. Without a word, she turned in the opposite direction."Please," Griffin said, catching up to her in a few long strides. "Just five minutes.""I have nothing to say to you," Nora replied coldly, quickening her pace.Griffin reached for her arm but stopped himself before making contact. "You've been acting cold towards me for no reason. If it's something I did wrong, then don't you think we should talk about it instead? Nora scoffed. "Talk about it?" She asked. "Why do you even think you did anything wring? I mean, no one has a

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Shocked

    THIRD POVGriffin moved stealthily through the west wing of the house, keeping to the shadows. Three days of careful observation had finally paid off—he now knew the identities of at least four of the sorceress's spies embedded within Nora's pack. Most of them were unimportant, and I had not decided what to do with the knowledge yet. But the main spy, the one coordinating it all, remained elusive. It was more difficult to find out who it was. The sorceress and the main spy were being too careful with their interactions, so it was more difficult to find out. "Damn it," Griffin muttered, ducking into an alcove as footsteps approached. He'd been so close to discovering who was reporting directly to the sorceress, the puppet master controlling the others.As the footsteps faded, Griffin slipped out again, heading toward the garden where he could think without interruption. His head throbbed with the effort of keeping up appearances, pretending loyalty to the sorceress while secretly wor

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    A Stranger Aunt

    NORA POVI sank onto the edge of my bed, fingers still trembling from what I'd seen in the forest. My chambers offered little comfort tonight, I buried my face in my hands, trying to steady my breathing. I tried to convince myself that what I heard was not real. It was all my imagination. But then, no matter how I tried to convince myself, it would not change the fact. I was struggling to steady my breathing and my heart rate. A knock came at the door, interrupting my thoughts. I felt indifferent about it. Someone was finally here to help take my mind off the thoughts. Again, I felt like I needed time alone to think about everything I had seen. The knock came again, and immediately, Carlos voice followed. "Nora?" Carlos's called hesitantly. "May I come in?"I didn't answer, but he entered anyway. That was Carlos, always assuming he knew what was best."I saw you walk into your room, looking disheveled," He crossed the room and sat beside me, careful to keep some distance between

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    No Trust

    NORA'S POVI stared out the window of my chambers, watching Carlos train with his warriors in the courtyard below. His movements were precise, and powerful.How could I reconcile these two versions of him? The gentle Carlos who I love so much, and the ons in my memory.The past two weeks had been a nightmare of confusion. Ever since I'd touched the pendant in that hidden room, memories had been returning in disjointed flashes. Scenes of violence and loss that left me breathless with grief and rage. And always at the center of these visions was Carlos, giving orders that resulted in flames and death.Yet something deep inside me resisted fully embracing these memories. Something whispered that there was more to the story, pieces I was still missing.A lot had been going on lately. I had intentionally kept my distance from Carlos. I was constantly struggling not to hate

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Confused

    GRIFFIN POVThe forest became denser as I continued my run. I pushed myself harder, feeling the strain in every muscle, welcoming the physical pain as distraction from my thoughts. My lycan form moved with speed no ordinary human could match, leaping over fallen logs and weaving between trunks with fluid grace.Gradually, the blind rage and frustration began to fade. My breathing evened, and my mind cleared enough to think. I slowed my pace, eventually coming to a stop beside a small mountain stream. The water ran clear and cold over smooth stones, and I lowered my muzzle to drink deeply before shifting back to human form.Naked and exhausted, I sat on a boulder by the water's edge, letting the cool night air dry the sweat from my skin. My thoughts inevitably turned to Nora.Despite everything. Despite the bind thaf the sorceress had me in, despite my hatred for Carlos, I couldn't deny that something

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Agreement

    GRIFFIN POVMy heart clenched at the sight of my grandfather, or rather adopted grandfather. It's been five years since I came in contact with him, yet his domineering presence still lingered.I clenched my fist tightly, the stinging pain from Elder Silvarum's slap radiating through my body like fire. The force of it had been more than physical—there was magic in that strike, old magic that reminded me exactly who I was dealing with. My grandfather had always been formidable, but seeing the fury in his eyes now made me remember why he was feared even among the most powerful.His eyes glared into mine, demanding answers I couldn't give. The truth caught in my throat. How could even explain that the sorceress who saved me from death had bound me with magic so powerful that even speaking of our agreement would trigger unimaginable pain?"You disappoint me, Karen," Elder Silvarum said, using

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Enraged

    CARLOS' POVBlood dripped from my split lip, and my ribs ached where Griffin landed a solid punch. But physical pain was nothing compared to the rage burning inside me."What have you done to Nora's memories?" I demanded.Griffin's smile was wolfish. "I simply helped her remember what you really are."Something changed in the air suddenly. A shift in energy that raised the hair on the back of my neck. Griffin rolled his shoulders, and I recognized the telltale signs of what was coming."You!" I accused. His only response was a low chuckle as his body began to change.The change took him quickly—bones cracking and reforming, skin stretching over growing muscle, human cries morphing into bestial growls. Where Griffin had stood moments ago, a massive wolf now crouched, teeth bared in challenge.I had no choice. I let my own transformation take me, embracing the pain as my body shifted forms. Within seconds, I sto

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Coward

    CARLOS POVI stared at Nora across the room. Her eyes, once warm and trusting, now held nothing but suspicion and anger. She had been questioning me for hours now without stopping. "The pendant," she said, her voice steady despite the emotion in her eyes. "The pendant I gave you. You rejected it, right?"I swallowed hard, choosing my words carefully. "The pendant? The same pendant you gave me? Come on Nora. None of those matters right now.""That's not what I asked." Her fingers tightened around the glass of water she held. "In my vision, I saw you reject it. I saw the look on your face. The look of disgust abd disdain. Why?"I remembered how I rejected Nora and her pendant. But telling her that now would only lead to more questions, questions that would inevitably reveal the worst of my past actions. It would only make her hate me even more. "I never rejected the pendant," I lied, forcing myself to meet her gaze. "You're remem
