Carlos' POV Weak from being starved, I tried to sit up but my body refused to cooperate with me. It was as if the next minute I was going to pass out from hunger and dehydration. But still, I didn't hold any grudge against Nora, in fact, I was itching to see her. If only she would make her visit at this moment I would be pleased. My feelings towards her are... complicated. Even as she starved me in that dingy cell, I couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of admiration for her strength and conviction. Her determination to break me was supposed to get me angry, yet, I found myself drawn to her. “Argh!" I grunted as hunger gnawed at my belly.I couldn't help but wonder if Nora's resolve would ever waver. But her gaze always pierce through me like a cold, calculated knife. She naturally feels excited in my suffering and it seems to fuel her own sense of purpose.The purpose of her revenge for all I did to her. She wasn't vying for revenge because of the rejection but because she beli
Karen’s POV I couldn't hide my emotions anymore. I just couldn't stop my heart from beating for her anymore. At first, I thought I was just being caring toward her because of her weakness. Then I convinced myself that our interactions over the months made us closer.Not until she went back to her former pack. That's when I saw the bastard who rejected her. I couldn't be less angrier. I was prepared to punish the bastard along with her.I grew protective of her and attributed it to being her friend. Not until I observed how that bastard was trying to seek forgiveness while getting close to her again.That was when I let my emotions get the better of me. That bastard Alpha doesn't deserve Nora. She deserves someone who is ready to cherish her in all things, weak or not. I can't believe he still thinks she would accept him.He rejected her when he thought she was nothing!As I left Carlos' cell in annoyance, I decided to take a breather. I changed into my wolf and lung deep into the for
Nora's POV“ He is too weak for you, Nora!" Karen spat out. Why would Karen think that I wanted to go back to Carlos?“ You don't have to be cruel towards him, Karen. This wasn't the friend who had always been by my side. What happened to you?" I asked, gazing at him in confusion.Karen paused as he stared at me too. Then with a disappointed look, he spat out.“ And you are not the fierce Nora who wanted nothing but revenge on that damn man that caused you pains! What the hell is happening to you?" With that, Karen turned around and left the training ground with his fist tightly clenched.As soon as Karen left, some of the prison guards came forward and took Carlos to the infirmary for treatment. Even the other trainees each left the training ground and I was left alone in the training ground, staring into space as I tried to comprehend whatever it is that was going on. Karen's words kept ringing in my head and I wondered if he was right. Maybe I had changed but why? This was the sam
Nora's POVOn arrival at my mother's chamber, it seemed she had been expecting me because she immediately pulled me into a brief hug before leading me to a couch. “I will be right back.” She said and after a few minutes, she returned with a full pendant making my lips break into a smile. The broken pendant from earlier had now been merged. “Here, you can have it.” She said, pushing her hand forward. “Thank you mother.” I replied with a grin, receiving the pendant from her. I was about to place it around my neck when she held my hand and then went ahead to help me with it. Holding the pendant, my lips broke into a smile. “It's pretty, mother.” I said, grinning widely. “It suits you. As always. Sweetheart, never take it off you again.” She replied, caressing the side of my face, a smile tugging the side of her lips. “ Never again, mom. I learnt my lesson the hard way." I replied with a bitter smile. I shook off the sad feeling and decided to tell her the reason I came to see he
Nora POVMy eyes glistened with tears I couldn't hold back, when I saw and perceived the familiar scent of the people who I had known since I was little.My werewolf parents. With a big grin, I ran into their arms, squashing them in a tight embrace. “I have missed you so much, mother. I miss you so much father.” I mumbled, pulling away from them. Although it's just been weeks since I left them at the border, I was already missing them. My eyes searched around them, looking frantic. As if they read my mind, they shook their heads. “ Justin has to take care of the pack since Alpha Carlos is away.”Although I was glad to see my foster parents, I miss my brother. I was also surprised to see them in the kingdom. I thought they would only come during my coronation. “ How did you-"“ The king gave us a token that allows us access to the kingdom.”I nodded while grinning. “I'm glad you have adapted so well.” My foster mother said, smiling sweetly at me while my foster father looked on wi
Nora's POVGrabbing my head with both hands, I let out a low grunt as I bit my bottom lips. My parents kept persuading me to let go of Carlos but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. He was my captive and I wanted it to remain that way for as long as possible. He was the one that hurt me first and not until I healed properly, I wasn't going to let go. I made an excuse and left them so I could think properly. I wonder why they all want me to let him go after all he did. The more I thought about it, the enraged I became and so I was pacing about, trying to calm my racing mind and head which was spiraling with different thoughts but to no avail. “You're finding it difficult to forgive him, not because of what happened at the cliff.” Mrs. Vikings said, making me snap my head in her direction quickly. "I don't know, Mom...Dad," I said, my voice hesitant. "I just can't trust him right now. I need time to process everything."They exchanged a concerned glance. "Nora, sweetie, we unde
Nora's POV It's been two days since my foster parents and Carlos left. I was still preparing for my journey to the Blue Lycan Kingdom and getting to know about the kingdom from my mother too.Walking down the flight of stairs with my hands across my chest, I was visualizing how the training at the Blue Lycan Kingdom was going to be like. Cranking my head to the side, I pushed my hand up my neck, massaging it with as I allowed my eyes to roam around the empty land mass in front of me. “ Are you thinking about him?" A teasing voice from behind me got me rolling my eyes.“ Do you like him that much? I could give him to you," I retorted, glaring at Vina who had a broad grin on her face.“ Nah- he is not my type. Besides, I don't know if I would wake up the next day if I dare it," Vina responded, giggling.Vina was more like a thorn in my flesh. She was always pairing me and Carlos even when she knows our story. According to her, she could still feel our connection. She believes the bon
Nora's POV “ What do you mean, Uncle Damon?" I asked, squinting.“ Don't take me wrong, Nora. I am just looking out for my niece. I hope you actualize your dreams. But then, there are implications when you don't keep your- words, as a royal-"“ Go to the point, Uncle Damon." I cut him off, sensing a negative vibe from his aura.“ The council had given you a year and six months. But then, you are assuring us of your success in one year. That's making a promise or rather a royal promise that must be kept-"“ You are still beating around the bush-"“ Be patient, Princess. What I mean is, if you can't keep your promise, it won't tell well in your future promises as the heir and future Queen. What if you fail and you don't get your wolf? That would be very sad and disappointing. As your uncle-" Uncle Damon concluded, shrugging.With a scoff, I fixed my gaze on my uncle. “ Then I need to train harder so I don't disappoint you, uncle. You don't need to bother about my future promises. Just
