April’s POVLucy slept in my room. It wasn’t the worst experience, though she did snore quite a lot. I smiled and tuned her out.There was a knock at the door, and I jumped out of bed, rubbing my eyes sleepily. As I opened the door, I found a maid standing there with a bundle in her arms and a smile on her face.“Good morning, Miss April. The Prince asked me to give you these.”She placed the strange bundle in my arms, and I looked at it quite puzzled.“What is this?” I asked innocently.“They are clothes and shoes for the banquet. The prince wants you and your friends to look your absolute best. I haven’t seen Miss Lucy this morning and left hers in her room. Please tell her to check them out if you see her. I need to know if they fit or if we need to get new ones for the three of you. We will also arrange for a stylist to finish your hair and makeup later in the evening.”I nodded, smiled, and returned to meet Lucy, who was still snoozing soundly. I shook her violently to wake her u
Rejecting My Alpha Stepbrother 55. You Look Stunning, April
April’s POVI stared at him, stunned, trying to gather my thoughts together. Finally, I could speak, and I tried to sound as sincere and polite as possible.“I really do not think that that is necessary. You are the royal prince, and I am simply in your debt. All eyes will be on you, and I wouldn’t want to get in your way, and I certainly do not want all that attention. I want to present the gift to the Alpha, enjoy the banquet like everyone else, and not have paparazzi in my face.”I saw this look in his eyes but could not figure it out.“Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be in the shadows, April. You are already enough limelight, and you brighten places that you go and people you touch.”I felt my cheeks flood with colour as he talked about me. He was really sweet with words, but I still had to decline his offer. I really didn’t want to be seen with him. Deep down, it just didn’t seem right. Couldn’t he understand?“I still have to refuse. I am sorry.”“April, you really don’t hav
Rejecting My Alpha Stepbrother 56. All Hail, His Majesty!
April's POVI got to Lucy's side, and she chuckled at me. I rolled my eyes while she snickered playfully."What are you doing here? You should be with your boo," she asked with a laugh."Can you just stop? You know it's not like that. Stop trying to play matchmaker."Lucy giggled, but I ignored her and looked around the banquet hall. It was beautifully decorated, and I was nearly blown away in amazement.The lights shone like stars, and rare flowers that were in bouquets were well placed around the room, filling the space with their intricate scent.Everyone was beautifully dressed, and the conversations were light and friendly, with whispers about who would be picked by the Alpha to be the crowned prince."Your boyfriend seems to be tonight’s star. You really are a lucky girl."I shook my head and resigned to the fact that Lucy wouldn't stop anytime soon.I saw Conrad from across the room, shaking hands with different people and conversing lightly.I had been so nervous the entire ri
Rejecting My Alpha Stepbrother 57. The Crown Is Mine.
Conrad's POVI watched as my father walked in with that gold digger, Vivian. I scoffed as soon as I saw her. My father didn't know her as well as I did. More than anyone, I knew that Vivian didn't care about my father. Not after she had tried to climb into my bed more than once with all her flirtatious gazes.She was simply one of the bevvy of ladies my father kept at his disposal for pleasure. But since he chose to bring her along to his birthday banquet, it was safe to say that he had made her his favourite. My father didn't just bring any woman along with him to his occasions. As his first son, I knew that better than anyone.With her by his side, he was beaming from all sides as she grasped his arm. I could only imagine the type of sorcery that that woman had used to be able to bewitch my father to bring her along. I inverted my gaze away from them and turned to where Lucy and April stood. Their gaze was on the Alpha and Vivian, but they looked stunned, their eyes wide with shock

Dorian’s POVLike every other morning for the last few days, the house was silent, and I headed down for breakfast after my shower.I got to the table, but it was the same as the last few days: there was no breakfast. My mother had been absent. I wondered where she had been for the past few days.I sighed and headed to the office.I got a call from Ivar just as I parked my truck in front of my office.“Are you at work yet? I dropped off everything I could find on your desk,” he said hurriedly as soon as I picked up the call, and I heard Emily’s voice in the background.“I will look over it. Spend some time with Emily before she storms into my office,” I teased and ended the call immediately.I sighed. It was going to be another busy day at work.I headed to my office and nodded to the greetings of some pack members who were around. I couldn’t wait to see what Ivar had found on Conrad. Knowing him, I’m sure he would have gone all in.I turned the doorknob, and when I pushed open the d
Rejecting My Alpha Stepbrother 59. Masterpiece
April's POV I watched Alexa's performance come to an end. I was so busy staring at Stacie and trying to get her attention that I missed most of the show. But I could tell from the uproar that it was amazing. I gave Lucy a gentle nudge, and she turned to me. "This is definitely Stacie," I said in a low whisper. There was a subconscious part of me that still had doubts. But I hadn't spent ten years with her for nothing. It had to be her. "I told you so. I knew it was her. I knew I could recognise her even in a crowd of ghosts. I knew that bitch was still living and breathing. The stubborn bitch refused to die." I shook my head slowly and turned back to the high table. I was curious. Why hadn't she come home if she had been alive all this time? Why hadn't she told anyone? Why was she in hiding? Did she do something that made her feel ashamed to return home? Also, what happened between Stacie and Lucy? I heard the spite and hate in Lucy's voice whenever she talked about Stacie. W
Rejecting My Alpha Stepbrother 60. May I Have This Dance?
April's POV I took a step back, and Lucy gave me heartfelt congratulations."Thanks," I said shakily. "I was really nervous.""You shouldn't have been. You were amazing, and so was your painting."I beamed, and the same loud voice filled the air after the applause had died down."We shall now witness the third wonderful gift that our Prince has to offer His Majesty."Lucy was gestured to step forward, and I wished her luck through the mind link.All eyes were on her now, and she seemed a bit more braver than I was."My name is Lucy Kyle, and I am a programmer. I have created a program to solve the problem of organising the Empire’s finances..."A projector was brought out. It was connected to Lucy's laptop, and the entire hall could see the program."It is an accounting software made with simple codes to help organise..."As she spoke, I stole a glance at the high table. Conrad’s stepmother and brothers looked angry and bitter as they listened to Lucy.Come to think of it, they hadn'
Rejecting My Alpha Stepbrother 61. Something Didn't Add Up.
April's POV Finally, the banquet ended, and I found myself back in Conrad's car. I was tired from all the festivities and dancing, but my mind was still working. My thoughts were all centred on Stacie. Wasn't that actually her? Why did she act like she didn't know me? Was it someone else that just looked like her? I also thought about the diary. Those things that she had written about me and the despicable things I did to her certainly weren't true. I couldn't wrap my head around it. Something didn't add up. The question was: what could it be? However, I really hoped that it was Stacie. If Dorian knew that Stacie was alive... perhaps things would return to how they used to be. "Are you alright? You look a little tense." Conrad's arm brushed mine gently, and I was pulled from my train of thought. I smiled at him and tried not to look so bothered. I really didn't want him to worry about me. "Uhmmm... Yeah. I am just a bit tired, that's all. I really enjoyed the party, but I
