All Chapters of The Lost Alpha Princess: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

“We better get started,” Victor told me as we sat in my office at Wilson, Inc. “Daisy, did you hear me?”“Sorry, I guess I’m distracted or something,” I said. “I was up late last night, studying those books you loaned me, and nothing seems to stick in my mind today.”Victor looked at me with concern on his handsome face. His gorgeous turquoise eyes narrowed as they studied me.“You need a break from all this studying, but you must be ready for the test,” Victor said.“I want to keep going.” I picked up a file that was sitting in front of me. “This inventory analytics report still has me puzzled.”“I think you should take a break.” Victor’s face looked concerned. “You don’t seem to be able to concentrate lately.”There was a knock at the door, and William rushed into my office.“Sorry,” he said. “Coach wanted to talk to me, and when I finally got to the office, they said that Daisy had already signed out. I thought maybe you took a cab. Thanks for picking Daisy up from school, Victor.”

After I announced my decision, nobody argued with me. Yet the tension in the cabin continued to build as nighttime came closer.We ate our delicious supper of cheeseburgers and potato salad washed down with iced tea while William told us the history of the lake.“The town was built in the early 1800s by a group of Alphas who rented the land near here to Betas for farming,” he said.“The lakefront property was sold to other Alphas for vacation homes about a hundred years ago, and now there are about two dozen cabins around the lake.”“Betas in this area still farm the land or live within the town, working in the shops and stores.”“Has your family owned the property for a long time?” Victor asked.“No,” William replied. “My parents bought it last year as an investment. When I left the city after Daisy’s ball, it was the first time I had been here.”After the meal, I taught the guys dishwashing skills before we all went onto the porch to watch the sunset over the lake.It was stunning.

I couldn’t stand not knowing what William and Victor were talking about. I didn’t want to be nosy, but I couldn’t help being curious.I listened to the latter part of their conversation through the open window of the darkened living room and discovered they were talking about me.It was no surprise that Victor sensed William’s desire to explore a relationship with me. However, I thought William’s idea that Victor was in love with me was absurd.Besides Amy, these two men were my best friends. I was glad they would stay friends with each other.It was also a relief that they understood I would choose my mate. But there were so many changes in my life that I wasn’t ready to take a mate yet.It was just as well. No matter my feelings, my deal with Victor must be fulfilled. I was his fiancée until he became the leader of the Alpha Alliance.The scent of the other werewolves drifted to my nostrils a second after Victor mentioned it. It had to be the wolves from the field across the lake.W

Panic coursed through me when I heard Victor’s words. Everyone had been so friendly to us at the barbecue. Why would they be following us now?Maybe it was a trap. I could hear and smell the wolves running behind us too.With my body quivering, I looked around for a place to shift in private.“Over here, Miss,” Jennifer called. “Come behind this pine tree with me to shift.”I hurried behind the low-hanging boughs and kicked off my sneakers. But before I could remove anything else, I heard a girl calling my name.“Daisy, where are you?” It was Lexi. “Wait for me.”“Who’s with you, Lexi?” I asked. “Just my cousin, Cara. My brothers were following you, but I told them to go home, or I would tell Dad.”I came out from behind the pine tree and found Lexi and another petite young girl with auburn hair.“But we smelled wolves behind us,” I said. It didn’t make sense.“Yeah. Lucas and Liam shifted before they followed you,” Lexi explained. “They can be buttheads, but they wouldn’t hurt you. T

I didn’t want to visit Justin and be the cause of him breaking my best friend’s heart. But how could I allow him to keep lying to her?Why would he want her to think he was a Beta instead of an Alpha unless he was trying to fit in and use her?I cringed when I met Amy outside the school, and she asked me what I had wanted to talk about the previous evening.I couldn’t tell her I was going to visit her lying boyfriend to get him to confess to her he was an Alpha.It felt kind of wrong to interfere this way. But I love Amy and can’t stand the thought of her being used.“I had a fight with Victor, and I needed to talk about it,” I replied. It was the truth, just not the whole truth.“Are you sure?” Amy asked. “It sounded like something worse was going on than you guys fighting again.”“Yeah, everything’s okay,” I said, feeling guilty for not telling her I was checking out her boyfriend that afternoon. But it was for her own good.The bell rang before I had to say anything else, and we ma
