NORA POV“ Interesting," Karen said, smiling. He moved over to me and brought out a potion. Without being told, I knew it was likely Elder Silvarum potion.“ Did you hate me that much?" I sighed, giving him a pitiful look." Hate? Well, I guess you don't need your strength back. Let me just-”With a wide grin, I quickly took the potion from him and gulped it down without a second thought. The bitterness traveled through my body, making my face wrinkle. Gosh, this potion could kill! “ And she gulped it down without another fuse! Are you that eager to get back your strength?" Karen asked, smiling.“ Yeah. Very eager to show off my aura as the royal princess even if I haven't gotten my Lycan wolf," I stated, putting on the mask.Karen shook his head as we made our way to the camp where Alpha Carlos and the rest were already waiting for us. It was certainly going to be a show for me. As we got close to the camp, I spotted my parents and Justin walking towards me, a mix of emotions swirl
Nora's POVI watched their faces go pale, except for my family. The rest of the delegates including Carlos' father were all shocked and surprised gasps filled the air. Aria's eyes widened in shock, her mouth hanging open in disbelief. She stared at me, her expression frozen in stunned silence."Nora?" she whispered, her voice trembling. " How is this possible?" I smiled, a sly, mischievous grin spreading across my face. "The one and only," I said, my voice dripping with satisfaction.Aria's eyes darted to Carlos, then back to me, her face pale. "But...but you can't be-" she stammered. I chuckled, enjoying the shock and awe on her face. "I am here to negotiate, of course," I said, my voice confident and authoritative. "And to ensure that my family's interests are protected."Aria looked like she had been punched in the gut. She stumbled backward, her eyes fixed on me in disbelief. Carlos caught her, holding her steady as she struggled to process the revelation."Nora, what's going
Carlos POV I stared at the woman who I thought was a weakling all along. The woman we all refer to as a human and I was so foolish as to reject her. I knew it was all wrong to have rejected her because she was weak but then I needed a woman who would solidify my throne. In a twist, the moon goddess did answer my prayers but I was too gullible and prideful to look beyond her weaknesses. I was such a dumb person. My eyes went to Aria, my chosen mate. Ironically, the woman I chose because of her strength didn't think twice before throwing me away. Was this the love she professed? I clenched my fist tightly, glaring at Aria. Something else was bothering me as they took Aria away from the camp. Nora kept mentioning that I wanted her dead. The only guilt I had was hiding the fact that I rejected Nora. I had never tried to kill her. So I demanded to see one half of the pendant. You can imagine the surprise I had on my face when the Lycan king himself brought the broken pendant. I didn't
Carlos POVAs the stinging sensation traveled around my body, I wobbled back at the force she used. It was indeed true that she had changed. I was an Alpha wolf but her one hit got me shaking a little.I remembered the first time she came back to the pack. She also pushed me with such force but I waved it off. Even at the training ground, she must have been the one who pushed Aria, not Karen as they said .As if the embarrassment wasn't enough, that foolish Lycan commander, Karen or whatever his name was, laughed at my misfortune. I clenched my fist harder, the stinging sensation wasn't compared to the redness on my cheek.I rubbed my cheeks, feeling the sting from the slaps, and it was as if my ears had gone deaf, the ringing echoing in my head. When did Nora become so powerful that her strikes could leave me reeling?I attempted to say something, but she spat in my face, causing me to recoil in disbelief.“Are you out of your mind?” she shouted, her anger palpable. “Just look at yo
Carlo's POV “Nora…” My father started, biting his lips. “It’s Princess Nora to you,” one of the guards retorted, causing my father to gulp nervously. “ It's okay, Jill. Let him be…” Nora said, waving the guard off.I sighed in relief. She was still the Nora we knew even if she had become tough. She still respected my father amidst all the power she had. Even my father, who usually commanded her with ease, seemed to shrink under her gaze. “It's my mistake, Princess Nora. I understand that my son, Alpha Carlos, has wronged you, and I sincerely apologize on his behalf. I assure you, I will speak to him so we can reach an understanding. Please, just let him go. The pack is starting to ask questions, and I cannot allow the news of his arrest to spread to the wrong ears.”“That’s not my concern, Viker Alberto. He chose his path. Besides, don't you think he need to pay for all that he did? Or am I so insignificant? Your son did not only reject me, he publicly humiliated me because I was
Nora's POV I watched as Carlos' face became pale and confused at the mention of Aria's pregnancy. I felt angry and would have struck Carlos if I hadn't controlled my emotions. As I turned to leave he suddenly denied the pregnancy but I wasn't interested in his acceptance or denial.With my fist tightly clenched, my anger and frustration boiling over as I watched Carlos in the cell. I slammed my fist on the cage, the sound echoing through the small camp room. "You're going to pay for what you did," I growled, my eyes blazing with fury.Carlos looked up at me, his expression defiant, but I could see the regret lurking in his eyes. He knew he was at my mercy. I smirked, sitting on the vacant chair, leaving Carlos to stew in the cage. I needed to calm down, to watch his agony and how he wallowed in his regrets. But I knew this was only the beginning. Once we are back to the Lycan Kingdom, Carlos would face the full force of my wrath.Having watched him wallow in pity for a while, I wen
Nora POVI felt the unfamiliar sensation of my body as if it was engulfed by brimstones and fire. In my unconscious state, I tried to grasp my sanity yet I felt my body shaking and my muscles contorting. A feeling of my bones rearranging themselves seemed to take over and I didn't want to believe I was changing.Was I getting my wolf? As my body started to change, I felt a searing pain in my limbs, like my muscles were being torn apart and put back together again. My skin itched and burned, my senses heightened yet I remained in my human form.The pain was becoming unbearable.Just then, I heard hurried footsteps and the whirling sound of the wind on my skin. The same skin that felt like it was being torn into shreds. But with the whirling wind, I began to grasp a relief in my unconscious state."Relax, Nora. Open your eyes," he said, his voice calm and soothing. " Don't fight it."I tried to do as he said, but it was hard. As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt the burning sensation ma
Nora’s POVI wanted to ask more, to know more but I stopped myself when I saw the struggling emotions on my mother's face. With a sigh, I resigned myself to the little I could understand as I pushed my hand into my hair, cranking my neck to the side.I restrained the burning desire as frustration rushed through my veins. I hated the fact that I never got enough explanation and it always boiled down to me being different. Yet, I wanted to understand the hurt in my mother's eyes when things like this happened. “Nora.” My mother called, her tone slightly mild yet shaky. Shifting my gaze to her direction, I watched her making her way towards me. Holding my hands, she peered deep into my eyes, smiling weakly at me at the same time. Those beautiful yet penetrating smiles tug deep into my heartstrings, making me want to bury myself in her embrace. “You're different. And that's because you're special. Could you please bear with us until we are ready to let you in?” She whispered, pushing
