••NO POV••"I didn't expect it to be so dangerous, that's why I went there," Alexandra lowered her head being guilty of what she had done.David sighed, "Alexa, I know you're still a child, but what you need to understand is everything has a limit, I can accept your stubbornness or childishness, but if it is something that pushes you into danger, how am I supposed to tolerate it?" The air in the grand living room was thick with tension, as even Damien and Dylan came there and stood before Alexandra, their gazes dark with frustration. The usually warm glow of the chandeliers did nothing to ease the chill between them.Dylan checked her carefully, David said to him, "No injuries thankfully, she is fine, looks like she is just shocked, nothing more than that." "Do you have any idea how reckless that was?" Dylan’s voice was sharp at Alexandra as he turned to her barely managing to control her anger, "Leaving the palace, without a word? Without our consent? What do you think you've done
••ALEXANDRA POV••"This dress looks beautiful on you," Dominic handed me a lavender knee length designer frock, glancing at it, I looked surprised, "Should I wear this to school?"Dominic nodded, "I specially made them customise these outfits for your school, don't you like them?" "I love them," I said being overwhelmed by his love and care, "but, don't you think it's too much to wear something like this to school?" Dominic shook his head, "No, not at all, your outfit shows from where you are going, this is Alpha kings' palace, so you've to be someone who makes our place shine with the way you exhibit yourself infront of the public." I nodded my head and went to get dressed, as soon as I came back wearing that dress, Dominic smiled immediately, "You look so beautiful, just like an angel!" I gave a peck on Dominic's lips with a smile, "Thanks!" Pulling me into his lap, Dominic smirked, "If you want to thank me, do it in a different way when we are alone in the night, in a way only
••ALEXANDRA POV••"That was a few days back," Florentia huffed, pulling back and dramatically flipped her golden curls over her shoulder. "Do you know how many things you missed being away from the school? Ugh! I can't wait to tell you everything, come on, you've to sit with me, then I'll tell you all the gossip." Without waiting for my response, she looped her arm through mine and dragged me along, I sighed internally but let her do it not for herself, but for myself, for some reason people are scared of Florentia, if I were to get close to her, people will try to be away from me, that's a good thing anyhow.Florentia was useful in her own way, she knew everything happening in this school, and if I was going to keep my ear to the ground like the Alpha Kings instructed, she was my best source of information. As we entered the classroom, students were scattered around, waiting for the lecturer to arrive. Some were laughing in groups, others scrolling through their books, and a few
••ALEXANDRA POV••"What exactly happened just now? Did I manage to escape from him or did he leave by himself? I still couldn't come out of that scene from my mind.I checked around me, none were there, how come no one is near the bathroom? How did a man manage to come here all the way?Is it a mistake or is he a stalker? Am I thinking too much or is it a plan of anyone? What's happening here? I stomped my foot in anger not understanding what just happened, especially that hoodie guy, it's a voice I never heard, next thing, why did he hide his face? What does he mean by I'll remember him? Why will I remember someone like him?"Should I go and report about this incident?" I wondered, "It's okay if my report takes a positive effect, if not, what if people start gossiping about me? What if it takes turn into another way? No...no, I can't handle it! Should I let it be like this only? No, I don't think, it's a good idea either, maybe after going home, I should tell Clara or Dominic about
••NO POV••"Did she leave for real?" Florentia felt inwardly, "Did I truly overreact?" She turned around to check but there's no traces of Alexandra and she finally realised that Alexandra has left for real."I didn't mean to hurt you Alexa," Florentia clenched her fist, sighing deep inside, "I also want to tell you everything but this isn't that right time, you're not in a proper situation to protect yourself, how can I tell you the truth you're supposed to know at a time like this?" The cafeteria buzzed with chatter and laughter, but a tense silence had settled around a particular place.Celine, Florentia, and Vivan sat close together, their meals were untouched as their conversations are running toward something far more serious than idle gossip.Celine leaned in, with a soft voice, "Why did you react like that, Tia? Did you see Alexandra’s face? Poor girl! She must've felt hearing that you speak like in such a way, we already did a lot to hurt her previously, when things are fin
••DOMINIC POV••"Did you drop her safely?" I asked Caleb who returned palace after dropping Alexandra, he nodded his head, "Yes, my Lord." Since she reached school already, we have some work left to do, she had no idea what we planned to do today, it's better if she doesn't know what we are going to do.Clara stood before us, slightly shaking in fear."When Alexa comes back in the evening, make sure she doesn't step out and stay within the palace, understand?" Dylan giving her instructions.Clara nodded immediately. "Sure, my Lord." David stepped forward, with a soft smile, "We will make sure to come back before she returns from school, if we don't, take care of her for us and stay with her the entire time." Clara swallowed hard in nervousness and nodded her head again, "Sure, my Lord." I said nothing, since both of them already told her all the necessary things, I don't think I've anything to say.With that, we left. The next destination of ours is Alexandra's pack, we made sur
••DOMINIC POV••"Choose you?" I sneered glancing at her body from top to bottom, "Despite you standing and dancing naked in front of us, forget about getting hardened, we don't even have the desire to look at you, for what reason we should choose someone like you?" Her pride is hurt, it can easily be seen on her expression, but covering it, she smirked, "I know you don't want to admit it," before she could touch me, Dylan reacted.In a fraction of seconds, he grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground. She gasped, barely catching herself as she fell on the hard floor."What the hell did you do?" She shouted checking at her body, Dylan's voice was laced with venom, "The hell you deserve, no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you will never be Alexa in our heart." Selene’s seductive facade cracked, her expression twisted into anger. "Alexa, what's so great about that bitch? She is wolfless, not talented, not even beautiful.." Before she could continue further, Davi
••ALEXANDRA POV••"You'll not understand that," Florentia said with a gentle tone, "All I can say to you is, be careful, don't trust anyone, okay?" I don't know whether she is on my side or just trying to fool me, but I can't help but to nod my head.The ride home from school had been uncomfortable, as her words keep on ringing in my ears, strangely it's not Caleb but another beta, he came to pick me up today.The weight of the events of whole day has been suffocating me, maybe I should ask Clara for some coffee, but the tension had only worsened when I stepped inside the palace.The atmosphere was heavy with anger, something I knew instinctively, I could feel it, the wrath of Alpha kings' and their fury is evident on their faces, as they were waiting for me in the living room.I took a deep breath before walking inside, but as soon as my eyes met them, I realised something was wrong.Clara’s face was tense, her eyes darting nervously between me and the three brothers who stood, arms
••NO POV••"Should I really stop thinking about it?" "Do I really have to give up?" "Is it my fate?" "If what he said is truth, shouldn't I take revenge?" Many thoughts and doubts messing with Alexandra's mind almost making it impossible even to take a breath in discomfort.The garden was so quiet, the scent of fresh roses filled in the evening air as Alexandra walking in between those roses wanting to find some peace of mind.The golden glow of the setting sun is filled with warmth but her heart remained clouded with turmoil of emotions. Her fingers gripping the edge of her sleeves, as thoughts swirled in her mind, heavy and bothering.Clara, who had been silently walking beside her, finally broke the silence. "What happened, Alexa? Is everything okay? I've been observing you, lately you're too lost within your thoughts and not at all communicating with any of us, are you okay?" Alexandra hummed in response, her voice softer than usual, "I don't even know what to say Clara, in
••NO POV••"Alexandra... Alexandra" This was the name everywhere heard after that night party, everyone is curious about this particular person because of her closeness with alpha kings.Now, even Kelvin became more curious to bring her back to use her strength and influence.The dimly lit room inside the manor was filled with the scent of burning incense, the thick smoke curling into the air as Kelvin sat at the head of a long, dark wooden table. His expression was grim, his fingers drumming against the polished surface. Across from him, Rosalyn leaned back in her chair, sipping from a glass of wine, her eyes narrowed in thought.The atmosphere was tense with no words. There was no denying the truth anymore, Alexandra was no longer the helpless, submissive girl they once controlled. She had grown stronger, more powerful, and worse, influential.Rosalyn sighed dramatically, swirling the crimson liquid in her glass. “We should have killed her when we had the chance, if not because
••NO POV••"I'll take my leave now Alexa, it's pretty late, I can't be here anymore, let's speak in school further," Saying that Florentia left almost immediately.Just as Florentia left Dominic came inside, his face looking worried as he glanced at Alexandra, "well, Alexa, you have been struck to the room while day, why don't we go out?" "Out?" Alexandra asked with an innocent face, "To where?" Dominic said, "you'll know it, please come with me." She couldn't say no to him at the sametime, she doesn't want to stay at home anymore, so decided to go along with him.He took her to the forest for a date to make her mind peaceful from all the tensions.The night air was chilling, carrying the faint scent of trees and damp soil as Dominic led Alexandra deeper into the woods. Moonlight has filtered through the tall trees, casting silvery shadows along the forest floor. The cool breeze brushed against her skin, but she barely noticed, it was hard to feel the cold when Dominic was besid
••NO POV••"Let me show you something interesting!" Florentia giggled, Alexandra looked confused, "Interesting?" A dim glow from the bedside lamp casts soft shadows across the room, highlighting the delicate golden key in Alexandra’s palm. It was small, light, and seemingly ordinary, but Florentia’s expression said otherwise.“This,” Florentia said, her voice low and measured, “isn’t just any key, Alexa, this is a legacy, a weapon, and now, it belongs to you.”Alexandra turned the key over in her fingers, running her thumb across the intricate engravings. She frowned slightly, skeptical. “What do you mean, it belongs to me?”Florentia smirked, leaning back against the headboard. “It chooses its master. You don’t just hold it, you command it.”Alexandra scoffed, shaking her head. “So it’s a magic key?”Florentia chuckled. “In a way, yes.” Then, more seriously, she added, “Close your eyes, Alexa.”Alexandra hesitated, glancing at her friend’s face, searching for any sign of a trick. Bu
••NO POV••"What's the time?" Alexandra frowned looking around.The morning sun had no place in Alexandra’s world today. The heavy curtains in her room remained shut, blocking out the golden rays that attempted to seep through. The air was thick, suffocating even, as she lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.Her mind was a battlefield, torn between disbelief and the cruel possibility that Theon had been telling the truth.You’re not who you think you are.The words replayed in her head like a broken record.You’re not their daughter, you’re the real Alpha’s child.Alexandra clutched the blanket tighter around her. How was she supposed to process this? If Theon was lying, it was a cruel, twisted game. But if he was telling the truth...Her heart pounded in her chest.The crescent-shaped birthmark on her wrist burned into her thoughts.It had always been there, something she had never questioned. A simple mark. Nothing more. But now… Now it was a symbol of everything she didn’t
••NO POV••"Why am I the one centre of everything always?" Alexandra thought to herself, as she couldn't bring herself to say anything at that moment.However, before she could realise, she fell asleep in the arms of Dylan, and looking at Dylan who is asleep peacefully, Dylan gently caressed her hair, "Looks like you're so terrified, I'm so sorry my love....." She curled herself like a ball in his arms, he also hugged her protectively.As she was sleeping peacefully, Dylan couldn't help but to think what might be spoken by Theon."That bastard! What exactly did he say to her? Why is she so terrified? Did he threaten her or something?" The mere thought of him threatening her, he immediately turned furious, "That bastard, if I were to find him again, I'll bury him alive." "My Lord, we reached," the driver said, that's when Dylan finally realised that they reached the house, he calmly got out of the car along with Alexandra.As she was sleeping peacefully in his arms, he carried her i
••NO POV••"They're coming," Neville sighed dragging Florentia to the another corner.While Neville and Florentia are struggling to come out safe.On the other side, The air at night was so cool laced with the faint scent of roses from the garden surrounding the lavish event. Alexandra stood near the grand fountain, arms crossed, her mind far away from the music and chatter of the party. She had never felt comfortable in places like these, too many eyes, too many whispers, however today she is trying her best to stay calm and not to overreact.She was about to leave when a familiar presence stood behind her."Theon."She spoke his name without turning, already recognizing his scent. A scent that once made her mesmerized, but now only made her stomach twist in disgust."Alexa," his voice was softer than she remembered, carrying an unusual hesitation, it wasn't like this before when he rejected her coldheartedly.She finally turned, facing the man she has hated to the core.His nor
••NO POV••"It's not time yet," Neville coming back sighed, "At that place, guards are heavy, I think it's time for us to go in to clear suspicion of those people." Alexandra sighed, "Did anyone find out about you?" "No, but people almost noticed me, so let's not be here anymore, let's go inside," Florentia said, together all of them went inside without making a sound and stayed in their original position.Just then, music filled the grand hall, a symphony of elegance and rhythm guiding the guests to the dance floor. Theon, with a confident smile, extended his hand towards Alexandra, expecting her to accept without hesitation, "Shall I have a dance with you beautiful?" Alexandra remembered how he insulted her back then and called her disgusted, and asked her sister to dance with him, now he is acting all innocent and good.That infuriated her, almost immediately, but she didn't say anything, not even a word.Rolling her eyes, being unimpressed by his audacity. Instead, she turned
••NO POV••"Why does this voice sound so familiar?" Alexandra felt inwardly and turned around only to find Professor Jackson."When did you meet him?" Florentia whispered, "Do you know him already?" "Are you familiar with him?" Neville asked, Alexandra responded with a gentle smile, "Well, I met him in the library, not that familiar or close." Professor Jackson approached them, his tone polite yet filled with intrigue. "How are you dear?" Jackson asked her gently, Alexandra smiled at him, "I'm fine, thanks for asking me professor, I hope you're doing well....." Jackson smiled back at her, "Yes, I'm doing well dear, glad to see you here, I feel relieved as soon as I seen you." Alexandra couldn't help but to let out a gentle smile, the group immediately straightened, exchanging quick glances before excusing themselves, leaving Alexandra alone with the professor."Woah, Alexa is truly an amazing girl!" Florentia praised her, "Professor Jackson is someone so hard to approach even for
