All Chapters of The alpha's daughter predestined to his enemy : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

31 - The Voice of the VeilMeridian WaterThe shadows stretched across the forest as I walked in silence. We’d been summoned urgently due to an attack dangerously close to the palace.Since our last night together, the prince and I had grown closer, and he seemed so different from the man I first met. Within the castle, he was reserved and serious, every bit the diplomat. In his father’s presence, he became tense, shrouded in darkness. But when we were alone, everything changed—stolen kisses, caresses, intimacy. His face softened, his posture relaxed.But the onslaught of attacks had worsened, forcing us into constant missions, clearing the destruction left behind, and strategizing to anticipate the wolves’ next move.The prince walked beside me, but something about the night felt... off. My senses were picking up a scent that felt strangely familiar, tugging at the edges of my memory. It was earthy, like the forest after rain, mingled with the coolness of the night wind.“Do you smel

33 – IdentityMeridian WaterI woke up with a heavy weight on my chest, as if my mind were shrouded in a dense fog. The sunlight filtered through the forest leaves, but its warm glow offered no comfort.I shot up suddenly, throwing off the fur blanket that had been keeping me warm. My breathing was heavy, my heart racing. My body was screaming for something—something that wasn’t there. The palace. The prince. That was where I was supposed to be.“What did you do with my clothes?” I demanded, glancing down at the loose, floral dress I was wearing. My voice cut through the silence, cold and decisive.A young man sitting by the bedside stared at me. He was young, and there was something unfamiliar in his gaze.“These are your clothes, Mel,” he said, his tone carrying something sentimental. I scoffed, irritated. He stepped closer cautiously, concern etched across his face—concern I couldn’t comprehend.“No, these aren’t my clothes, and my name isn’t Mel,” I growled. “You’ve got me confuse

35 – Threat: FolderRenan FolderI knew what was coming, but at that moment, I couldn’t help but question my sanity. When Mr. Walter announced that I’d be responsible for escorting her, my first reaction was to refuse outright. I didn’t care who was in the room—my body instinctively tensed. I was being tasked with protecting the girl I had always loved, who was now our enemy.But she wasn’t her anymore. She wasn’t there. Meridian was gone, replaced by a traitor—by a mortal threat.The first time I saw her, I swore I could save her.The second time, when I saw her hurt one of our own, I understood her perspective—she didn’t know who she was and only knew what she had been told about us.The third time, when she looked at me and seemed to recognize me, my heart filled with hope. Maybe we could bring her back...But when I saw her casting, everything I felt shattered. She was willing to sacrifice her life for the prince. It wasn’t just a sense of duty; when her eyes met mine one last tim

37 – THAT SOUNDS... PATHETIC!Meridian WaterThe air around us was charged, electric, as I followed Renan down the narrow path. Every step he took was an annoying reminder that I was in enemy territory, under the escort of a man who seemed eager to put me in my place."Don't try to run," he said, not even bothering to look back at me. His voice was calm, but there was something about his tone that irritated me to my core."Oh, right, because I'd be dumb enough to try to escape unarmed in a forest full of wolves. Have you actually heard of my reputation?" I shot back, laced with sarcasm.He stopped abruptly, forcing me to halt before I could crash into his back. When he turned to face me, his expression was ice-cold."Yeah, I’ve heard plenty about the blood and chaos you’ve left behind. Wow, what a brilliant woman." His words dripped with sarcasm."Thanks," I said with a smirk.The muscle in his jaw twitched, and for a second, I thought he was either going to lunge at me or throw some

39 - I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORERenan FolderI sat in that clearing, unable to move, stuck replaying every detail of the training session with Meridian in my mind. Tonight was the Full Moon Gathering—a night where we all sat around the fire, listening to the stories of our ancestors. It was supposed to be a beautiful night, but I couldn’t focus on any of it. My mind was too full of intrusive thoughts. The clearing had been decorated, and it looked beautiful. The moon was already creeping into the space, and I used to find comfort in its light, but tonight, it felt more like a spotlight, exposing the parts of me I preferred to keep buried.People were starting to arrive, but I kept my distance, leaning against the same rock where I had once talked to Meridian before she was taken. Lauren appeared beside me, carrying a jar of flowers. She always had this lightness about her, as if nothing could really shake her, but her eyes told a different story.“So…” she started, setting th
