I was in the room, dressing up to sneak out when I heard a knock on the door and I ushered the voice in. I glanced at the door to see who was coming in, my eye glanced through Ella, one of the maids in the mansion. As soon as she saw me she bowed her head down avoiding my eyes.
“Good morning ma’am” Ella greeted, her eyes glued to the floor.
I stopped what I was doing and faced her with a narrowed brow.
“Morning, what do you want?” I asked, gazing at her.
“Your parents are waiting for you in the chamber, your father said you should be fast with what you are doing so that you won’t get late for training” She replied.
“Okay, I’m coming,” I said but she stood there.
I gave her an eye signal to leave.
“Oh shit, why did I wake up late? I need to go to the woods before going to training… what should I do now” I thought as I stood up on the chair.
I smiled, packed some clothes into my bag, and jumped out through the window. I glanced around before changing into my wolf form and I ran toward the woods as soon as possible before the guards could sight me.
Running in the woods is what I enjoyed doing so much before my training. My father is the Alpha of the Blood Crest pack and he would never allow me to go out or socialize with people. I had no other way than to sneak out of the palace every day to take a run in the woods since it gave me joy and pleasure.
Hours later~
I was still running in the woods happily when I bumped into two guys, they were naked. I immediately turned back and they covered themselves with the leaf, I faced them and chuckled.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?” One of the guys questioned.
The other guy threatened me but I was not scared of him.
“You mean…”
“Hola,” Someone called.
“I need to go now” I muttered and ran away.
They watched me as I left.
I went to the lake, getting to the lake I sat down at the edges of it and stared at the water, I inhaled and exhaled. After some time staring at the stream, I changed into my human form and dressed up. When I was done dressing, I packed my hair in a ponytail. I was about to walk away when I saw Dante, my bodyguard. I frowned as soon as I saw him.
“How did he know I am here?” I thought.
“Your Highness, what are you doing here?” He asked.
“Me… you mean…I came here to have fun” I stuttered and was about to run away when he stood in front of me.
“Where are you going? Your father is worried about you, he asked me to bring you back” He said with a serious tone.
“Father knows I sneaked out again?” I asked and he nodded.
“I’m a dead meat!” I thought.
Dante and I went back to the pack together. Getting to the pack, we headed straight to my father's chamber. As soon as he saw me he walked towards me and slapped me.
A gasp tore from everyone.
“Did he just slap me right now?” I thought as I stared at him.
Tears streamed down my face, he had never laid his hand on me before but today he did. I ran out of the chamber, my maid called me as she ran after me but I ignored her. When I got to my room, I locked the door and lay on the bed, tears fell freely from my face.
“How could he?” I shouted.
“Your Highness” Anel, my maid called as she knocked on the door.
“Leave me alone!” I shouted in tears.
I stood up on the bed, pushed everything on the floor angrily, and hit my leg on the table. A few moments later, I heard Mom’s voice.
“Sweetie, please open the door,” She said worriedly.
“I don’t want to see anyone,” I said and sat down on the chair.
I burst into more tears. Not long after my mom opened the door with a spare key, I bowed my head down avoiding her eyes. She sat down on the floor next to me.
“Sweetie, it’s okay… your father has warned you severely not to sneak out again but you don’t have some listening ears,” She said, wrapping her hands around my neck.
“Mom, I'm fed up with staying here… why can’t I go out? You guys should tell me the reason why I shouldn’t go out” I yelled.
“The reason is that we are protecting you from our enemies, try to understand please…you know your father loves…”
“No, he doesn’t” I interrupted.
“He loves you, I’m sorry,” She said and hugged me.
She patted my back slowly and kissed my hair.
After a few minutes, we disengaged and stood up on the floor, we sat down on the chair together.
“Anel, you can come in,” She said and Anel came in.
“Get her something to eat in the kitchen” She ordered.
“Okay, ma’am,” Anel said and left immediately.
“Can I leave now?” She asked.
I nodded then she left. As soon as she left, I lay down on the bed. My mind drifted to those two guys I saw in the woods. They looked handsome but the other with dark hair was more handsome, I blushed. I was immersed deep in my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door, I knew it was Anel so I asked to come in but unfortunately it wasn’t her it was my two best friends Fantasia and Rain.
“Hola,” They called with a smile.
“You guys didn’t tell me…”
My sentence was interrupted.
“We heard what Alpha Gebe did to you, that was the reason why we came,” Rain said as she sat down on the bed next to me while Fantasia sat down on the couch.
“Huh? Who told you guys” I asked, gazing at them.
They bothered and glanced at each other.
“I promise not to get angry at the person,” I muttered.
“Hmm” They hummed and I nodded.
“It was Dante,” They said, then I frowned.
“Was he not the one that brought me back to the palace… he was the one that caused it,” I scoffed.
“It’s your fault so stop blaming the poor guy,” Rain said, and I rolled.
“Girls, we are getting late for training, let’s go,” Fantasia said.
“ I bumped into some guys today,” I said as we walked out of my room.
“Who?” A voice yelled behind us.
We turned back and were shocked to see my father.
“Da…d?” My voice was so low and shaky.“Who are you speaking about?” He asked, with a frown.“Nobody, Dad… we were speaking about the new guy that just arrived," I said, avoiding his face.“Do you think I am a fool to believe that?” He muttered, giving her a stern look.I gave Fantasia and Rain an eye signal to say something, they shook their heads.“Your Highness, she was speaking about Dante .” Rain said, having her eyes glued to the floor.“I still don't believe it,” He said, glaring at me.“Dad, we are getting late for training,” I said calmly and ran away with my friends.We didn’t stop running until we were deep into the forest. My lungs burning from being deprived of oxygen, Fantasia and Rain both exhaled.“Hola, why did you let us run?”Fantasia asked with a furrowed brow.“If we don’t run away, Dad will keep asking us the same question," I replied and they nodded slowly in agreement.“Should we go for training now?” Fantasia asked, gazing at me.“No, let's take a rest first,”
She immediately jumped on the mountain and the werewolf floor together then ran fast- the wolf inside me whimpered when she left.“Archer, calm down, ” I said but my body felt a beat hot and my heart kinda heavy as if I was losing something important.This is the first time I am feeling this way.“Is she my mate or what?” I thought.“Did she tell you her name before she left?” He asked and I shook my head no, pretending not to know who she was.“I don’t think she is from our pack because I remembered the eldest warned everyone not to cross the pack border.” He said but I was immersed deeply in my thoughts.I was lost in my thoughts.“Archer, '' He called, drifting me out of my thoughts.“What is it, bro?” he asked as I turned to him.“Nothing," I said and shook my head.He nodded and turned back. He didn’t notice when I left, so I went deep into the forest to look for Hola so that I could warn her to stay away from our pack.After searching for hours, I didn’t see her so I decided to
At night I got to my room, and I met Dad sitting on the bed, seeing him I already knew I was in trouble, I bowed my head down as I towards him.I can feel His eyes fixated on me and my heart raced.“You sneak out again, Hola… haven’t I warned you to stop sneaking out?” He questioned, furiously.“I’m sorry, Dad,” I muttered.“Sorry for yourself, why are you so stubborn? I know you aren’t a princess but I used to treat you like a princess… I told you that you could go out around the pack but don’t go to the forest alone” He said, glaring daggers at me.“I have grown up, I can go wherever I…”I didn’t complete my statement when a slap landed on my face, tears streamed down my face.“Dad, this is the second time you slapped me… why did you hate me so much?” I said in tears.He didn’t say anything, he glared at me and left.I wiped my tears away and climbed onto the bed. Not long after, I heard a knock on the door and I heard Finn calling me but I didn’t answer.“Hola, can you please open
Archer:I left the club angrily and headed home. When I got home I met my mom in the sitting room speaking with the maid. I went to my room without greeting her. I am so mad right now.'How could she say that to me?' I said and hit the table.I rubbed my hands into my head as I sat down on the bed. I was immersed deeply in my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door and I knew it was mom so I didn’t bother to open the door, I wanna be alone.“Archer, please open the door,” She said as she knocked on the door.“Mom, please just go… I wanna be alone for now” I said.“Sweetie, what’s wrong? I won’t leave until you open this door” She said and knocked on the door again.I know she won’t leave until she sees me so I went to open the door, her eyes were fixed on me.“Sweetie, what’s wrong?” She asked.“Mom, I am fine,” I said, avoiding her eyes.“You are lying, what happened please?” She asked, gazing at me.“Fine, I will tell you,” I said and narrated everything to her.She was angry when
Archer Pov:I turned back to see one of the eldest holding my hand, and I yanked his hand away.“Why is he here?” I wondered within myself.“Archer, as the upcoming leader of the pack, you don’t need to behave this way to your park members no matter what they have done to you,” Eldest Remus said, gazing at me.“So I should let him kill me before I take my move… Why are you even here? I already let you know I don’t want to become the leader of the pack because this is the same pack that led to my father's death. He died in the battle and now you also want me to take his step, wait… if I die, who will take care of my mother, can you guys please leave me alone” I half yelled.Everyone stared at me in shock but who cares.“Archer is not as if we wanted to force you to become the pack leader but before your father died, he already wrote a decree, saying if he died we should make his son the leader of the pack or else there should be no leader in this pack, we need to do what he says. This
Adrian Pov:On our way to the elder's place, we bumped into Ryker who was glaring at us dangerously, he smirked as he walked towards us.“Are you guys going to the elder's place?” He smirked.“What do you want?” I asked with a frown but he glared at me and faced Archer.“Archer, before you become the leader of this pack, I have to let the elders know that we need to compete first because we can’t just choose a leader, your father wrote a decree doesn’t mean we should make you the leader. Due to everything that has happened in the past and our enemies are still alive we need to find a strong leader” He said with a smile.Without thinking twice, Archer strangled his neck, he was about to hit him when I stopped him and whispered into his ear “If you do this what will the pack think of you”He glanced at me and released him.“Ryker, I am ready to compete with you… I will make sure you lose to me” Archer said, gazing at him.“Oh. Then let's see," he muttered.We all went to the elder's pla
Archer Pov:The Following Morning, I woke up early and headed straight to Adrian Place. When I got to his Mansion, I met him already dressed up, he was eating at the diner.“Archer, you are here already… I don’t know you will be here early” He said as he sipped the juice on the table.“Have you forgotten I race with Ryker that idiot doesn’t wanna give up” I said as I sat down on the sofa.“That’s true, I am done. Let’s go, I’m done eating” He muttered.We both left the room and headed straight to the woods, we got there and met all the people there, including the elders and Ryker’s family.“Archer, I thought you won’t show… I can see you are scared of me, why don't you give up since you know you are gonna lose this race” Ryker said, walking towards me.“Are you saying that to me or yourself, you should be the one to give up cause you know you will never win” I said and he scoffed.“Then let’s see” He uttered and turned into his wolf form.Adrian patted my shoulder and I changed into m
Hola Pov:I ran straight home, got inside my room, and locked myself inside for days. After two days, I still didn’t open the door, I heard my parents' voices from outside, and even my maid was begging me to eat something cause I hadn’t eaten since the day I locked myself. My mind drifted to Archer again and hot tears rolled down my cheek.“Hola, please open this door… do you want to starve to death, don’t you even care about your health,” My mother said from outside.“Darling, tell us what happened, and stop hurting yourself there,” Alpha Gebe said.I still didn’t open it, I whimpered silently thinking about everything, how am I gonna tell my parents my mate hates me all because we are enemies, I am hurt inside.“Hola, can you open the door, it us” Someone said and I recognized the voice instantly, it was Finn.“Babe, let’s talk about what happened so please open the door” I also heard Rain’s voice.After some minutes, I walked towards the door slowly and opened it for Rain and Finn
