All Chapters of The Lost Alpha Princess: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Instead of going to my room, I hurried to the music room and sat on the piano bench. The soft light from the hallway made the freshly waxed antique wood glow.I was upset and didn’t want to talk about it with Jennifer. It wasn’t something she would understand. I knew she would be hovering near my room, waiting for me to get home and get ready for bed.My fingers brushed over the smooth ivory piano keys as my eyes began to mist with tears.I hated being at odds with Victor. He was always good to me, but he made me so angry tonight.My instincts told me that the young Alpha I was speaking to was not to be trusted. I was looking for a way to turn him down gently when Victor swooped in and acted like a jealous jerk.Everyone except the people closest to me have been treating me with respect since I passed the test. But Victor was the worst. He still acted like I was a child who needed to be watched every second.His eyes were on me the entire time we were at the party. At any other time,

William stopped a moment before I reached his side and turned him to face me.“I want to go with you to the lake,” I said. “Truly I do.” My voice and body were trembling with emotion. “I promise I will go with you unless there is a disaster happening with the company.”I had to make things right with my friends. I knew I had changed, and was still changing, and it must be hard for everyone around me.My closest friends, Amy, William, and Victor, saw I wasn’t the same person I used to be. It had to be hard for them when I didn’t react or think exactly like I used to.They needed to know that just because I was becoming successful and had ambitions, it didn’t mean I didn’t care about them. I still needed them in my life. I had to show them how much they still meant to me.Without my three best friends, my life would be lonely beyond bearing. I realized I must make time for them and make them feel as important as they are to me.“I’m sorry if I seem different to you,” I said in a shaky v

It was great to see Amy so cheerful the next morning. She greeted me on the bench outside the school with a big smile.“Hey, did you get any sleep last night?” I asked as I slid into the bench next to her.“After we hung up, I slept like a baby,” she replied. “I can’t wait to see your office. It's the first thing I've had to look forward to in weeks.”“Your dad is okay with you going with me?”“Yeah,” she replied. “He’s hoping it snaps me out of my funk over Justin. He said I can hang out with you whenever I want.”“That’s great,” I said. “You’re welcome to spend time at my office with me whenever you feel like it.”It was a relief to see Amy in a more cheerful mood, and I was looking forward to the afternoon with her.Time seemed to slow down after I reported to my homeroom and my school day began. I couldn’t wait for it to be time to leave for my office.The highlight of my school day was seeing William in werewolf history, where we spoke briefly, and although we couldn’t talk in cl

“I mean it, Daisy,” Amy said. “Why don’t you like Justin? You’ve never even met him!”“Yes. I don’t know him, Amy, but ….” I began.I had to explain how I discovered he was an Alpha and how Victor and I went to his apartment and demanded he tell Amy the truth.She also needed to know that the result of that meeting was him leaving for the other coast.She would be furious with us both, but I think more so with me. I should have told her the truth from the beginning.“If you don’t know him, how can you not like him?” Amy fumed.“Amy, I'm sorry,” I began again. “It’s not that I don’t like Justin. I don’t know him well enough to say that. But I’m afraid he’s going to hurt you …he has been hurting you, and ….”A loud knock at my door made us both jump.“Come in,” I called, glad for a reprieve. I needed time to think of gentle words to break the news to her and not just blurt out whatever came to my mind.William popped his head into the room, followed by the rest of his fine self.“Hello,

I was ready and waiting at six forty-five on Sunday morning. After canceling my plans with Victor the previous evening, I went to bed after a long run and slept until five a.m.I grabbed a piece of toast and a banana from the kitchen before telling Alex goodbye. He was still in bed, but he gave me a wave and a sleepy smile as I backed out of his bedroom.Dressed in Capris, a t-shirt, and a hoodie, I waited outside for William and his family to pick me up.I was determined not to think about Victor all day as I enjoyed the lake and William’s company. I’m sure he didn’t spend his time thinking about me.All he said when I told him I wasn’t going to the party was, “Okay. Get some rest.”“Don’t let him ruin your day,” Diana said. “You need a break from everything, including him. All will be well again in time, Daisy.”“You’re right.” I shook my head and forced him from my mind. The incident at Gray’s told me I needed to distance myself from Victor for a while. We had become much too close
