**Estelle's POV**
"Father ..." Prince screamed in a trembling voice. His eyes widened and his face suddenly paled.
Just like that, I sneered and tried to run.
I'd heard about Alpha Daren. He was a very smart and decisive Alpha. He could defeat enemies with enormous strength. His prowess was known all over the place so he was dubbed the spearhead of the revolution.
He found various breakthroughs and ideas to advance his pack. Other packs adopted it and applied it to their respective packs.
Alpha Daren was like an admired teacher and philosopher. Apart from his intelligence, his silent and mysterious nature further added to his appeal.
If I heard people's stories, of course, I hoped to meet him someday. I would consider him a role model and a character that I very much missed.
But if I'd met him like this, I really wanted to r
**Estelle's POV**“Get out of my palace and my pack right now!” Alpha Daren pointed at the exit.I was like having a heart attack. Seeing him with such an intimidating aura wasn't the only nightmare for me. I just got surrounded and almost killed by hybrids. But why on the same night I had to be kicked out in such a despicable way?My wolf protested, but it knew it couldn't do anything, including me. Even Prince too. He was just been looking down ever since, glancing at me apologetically.What was he always up to? Was it for helping me or for loving me?Alpha Daren didn't move before I left. Prince pulled my hand gently and whispered, "Sorry."Those were the most hurtful words he ever said to me. I wanted to comfort her, but my heart was too hurt. This was the worst insult done in an honorable way.
**Alpha Cedric's POV**“Estelle! Alpha, Estelle…” the soldier stuttered.My patience ran out as my eyes widened. "What happened to her?" I snapped. My hands and back were shaking. I wouldn't forgive myself if something bad happens to her. My girl, my mate.…I returned to the palace after listening to the soldier's report. I had mixed feelings. My heart was beating chaotically. The ambush of fear was accompanied by suffocating confusion.My body froze after arriving at the palace. Roland gave the same reaction. Our tensed shoulders instantly relaxed.Unknowingly my eyes filled with tears. I ran over to Estelle and hugged her really tight. “Estelle!” I whispered in a trembling voice. The tightness in my chest finally lifted. I could breathe easily. The tension in my body faded completely.
**Alpha Cedric's POV**“Estelle!” I snapped. Did she realize how much I worried about her? Why was she still silent and not answering my question?My fears were mounting. I couldn't shake the jealousy that crept in. She must have gone home with Prince, or at least she had met Prince before she confronted the hybrids.Knowing another man was there for her when she needed someone, instead of me, made me sicker. I was not even sure who I was directing this disgust at. Maybe on her or maybe even on myself.If I had been quicker to find her, maybe I would've dissuaded Prince from having a moment with her. Finally, only our memories were printed forever.In a state of shaking and beating, she tried to move her hands. Sweat poured down her face and body, especially whenever she accidentally saw the dead man. "I returned to the pack delivered by him." She pointe
**Alpha Cedric's POV**Alpha Daren snapped at Prince. "What are you doing here? I told you to stay in your room and not come out at all!”I raised an eyebrow. Wow, this was a family fight. I hated it and I wished I could get out of this situation. But it seemed that was impossible since Alpha Daren was my guest. If a member of his family came, then I had to respect him, even if it was my rival."Are you going to close your eyes and ears, Father?" he asked. He looked like a teenager arguing with his father. Tch, he didn't deserve Estelle! He couldn't even defend himself, so how was he going to defend Estelle?And he should have remembered that Estelle had been chased out of his palace by his father. At that time, he couldn't do anything to protect Estelle, not even just to make sure she returned to my palace unharmed. And now he dared to show his face here? Wasn't he ashamed?
**Estelle's POV**I saw Scarlett deliberately lifting her skirt in front of Alpha Cedric. Her panty was seen and she was happy because of that.Wheezing, she begged him. “Help me, Alpha. Ow, I fell!”Disgusting! Why didn't she wake up herself? She was an adult now and her leg wasn't broken!"You slut," my wolf cursed.It was the only thing that was most annoying here. I mean, I was also very upset but I could still manage my emotions.After all, why would I waste my emotions on a woman as crazy as Scarlett? I was just wasting it.I saw Alpha Cedric chuckle as if it was something very amusing.If I didn't see it in person, then I definitely wouldn't believe it. How could he put up with something as disgusting and vulgar as this? He even purposely took a look at Scarlett's e
**Estelle's POV**"That nail clipper belongs to the hybrids."I widened my eyes and subconsciously gaped. "Really?" I covered my mouth without realizing it. As I recall, the car had been inspected by Alpha Cedric's soldiers. But they found nothing.Prince was very smart indeed. I'd always felt he was more suited to be a scholar or a detective than an Alpha.But I had no right to order him to do something, especially if his fate and future had been determined by his father. I would not destroy a family that used to get along well. And even though Alpha Daren seemed pretty mean, I was sure he loved his son very much. Because otherwise, then he wouldn't care if Prince is close to me.Prince nodded confidently. "Yes. Several people including Scarlett have examined the nails.” He cleared his throat when he saw me scowl at the mention of Scarlett's name. He hurriedl
**Estelle's POV**Prince said he remembered something about hybrids. And he told me about it.Then I tried to convey it to Alpha Cedric as best I could. I had to make sure Alpha Cedric didn't know I got it from Prince because Prince wanted to keep this a secret.“Raising hybrids is a crime, Estelle. Moreover, utilizing their poison as a weapon of war. But my grandfather was very greedy back then so he broke the rules,” Prince said while we were still discussing.Even though his grandfather Prince broke the rules and was greedy, he wanted to make sure his grandfather was not looked down upon by anyone. His grandfather had lived quite a hard life in the past, becoming the Alpha who had to protect his demanding and lazy people.They even did many things so that his grandfather was killed and replaced with a new Alpha. But they failed to do so and inst
**Alpha Cedric's POV**I didn't expect to be infatuated with Estelle's body. I couldn't even control myself whenever I was around her. I'd smack her lips like I was thirsty, I'd make her moan like I needed a lullaby to sleep, and I'd sink myself between her slit and like I need a direction to get home.Every time I saw her, I would be in heating. I wouldn't stop until we both smiled at the end of it all.She hugged me and rested her head on my chest. We were still in the water, half submerged and our feet in the mud and pebbles."I'll make sure you get a good memory before you go," I said meaningfully.She smiled and blushed. We swam and joked with each other. I sprinkled her with water and she would do the same.I took her up over the waterfall, together we would jump and fall in the pool. We laughed, and for the first time, I saw how she is ve
