**Estelle's POV**
"Tch, I never assume your type is so yuks, Prince!" Vera clenched her fists accompanied by her blushing face. “You like trash! Are you one of them?"
I could see Prince holding his temper pretty well. Although at some point he seemed to almost lose control. He should have known that Vera liked him.
“I'm trash depending on who looks at me. But I heard many great people complimented and treated me well.” Prince glared at the crowd of trainees who were eavesdropping on their conversation. He managed to drive them away letting only Vera's friends around. He didn't see me hiding in a corner. “If you see me as trash, I will question how you lived all this time!”
"Maybe I'm too holy." Vera sighed, not to be outdone.
"A holy person wouldn't trap another and nearly injure her." Prince pointed at Vera's nose. "You e
**Estelle's POV**Valerie clawed at me until my arm bled.Vera laughed when I screamed. “Hahaha, kill her, Valerie! She was the reason why Hugo was dying right now. Don't let her go!” She gathered with her friends, crossing her arms and grinning happily.My body hit the edge of the table, roaring from the sharp surface. Valerie lost her control, now jumped with her body covered in fur, and was hideous.The only thing I was sure she was Valeri was because she had a mole on her forehead and her very unique eyes.Valerie's fangs almost dug into my back, but I dodged them.“Valerie!” My pitiful voice leaked out of my throat. My shaking knees tried to get up to avoid Valerie who was now tearing the wooden table to pieces.Vera was furious because I always managed to dodge. So, she grabb
**Alpha Cedric's POV**Mord's family was involved in yesterday's attack. I had to do something to deter them. After their daughter, Vera, framed Estelle and nearly hurt her, I had a hard time putting my trust in them back. They seemed to ignore the bad things that Vera had done, even though they knew it.I and Roland were busy strategizing. We'd only found one piece of evidence of the Mord Family's involvement, but we didn't yet know the enemy they were working with.“Because they are very wealthy merchants and often sail overseas, the range of our enemies is getting wider, Alpha,” Roland explained. I agreed with him.“Just investigate once more! This time expand the area! You can use multiple spies to spread across the enemy pack. We have to know whom we're dealing with."Roland nodded and then left.I went to me
**Estelle's POV**My anxiety only got worse when I heard that Alpha Cedric had returned to the palace with the enemies. Some soldiers said he caught them with Roland.My heart was beating fast. My feet ran very fast to meet him at the palace gate, as well as saw whom he caught. I have predicted who, but I hoped my guess was wrong.I was late because he already took the enemies to jail. So, I darted to enter the dark and dank dungeon.I ran into him and Roland while I was in a rush. He was quite startled and then grabbed my arm."You are not allowed in! Why are you here?” The question jolted my courage."I want to see who they are." My hands moved fast in front of him.“You will see them later. Now go back to your room!”"Let me see who they are."&ldqu
**Alpha Cedric's POV**“…When are you going to mark me?”I glared at Estelle as soon as she lowered her finger. I didn't expect she would ask that so soon.I had predicted she would ask when I would mark her, but I didn't expect it to be now, on this day, after all the chaos we'd just been through.My face was red and hot. I wasn’t sure of my feelings. "Why do you ask?" I pretended not to care.Her round and adorable eyes were suddenly dim and cold. "I'm just asking." She shrugged, then went back to treating the wounds on my body."Do you really want me to immediately mark you?"She was silent for a while as she thought. "I don’t think so. I'm just curious. I don't want when we spend the night together, you suddenly mark me without my consent."Suddenly I was irritated by h
**Estelle's POV**Why does Delta Laes had my childhood photo in his office?I checked the photo again and forgot about the report that had slipped from my hands. It was urgent and I needed to know if that little girl was really me.Finding red hair and blue eyes was hard enough in packs around. Only me and my mother had it, as well as my grandmother who had died. Now after my mother was died, I was the only one with red hair.Was the girl in this photo my mother? Did Delta Laes have something with my mother? No. This was not my mother because this photo still looked new. And I was sure I had this floral pattern dress. And that meadow was an area not far from where my old house was. Some of the buildings should still be standing if that picture was my mother’s.Something was wrong and I had to find out about this. I took the photo with me and grabbed my report
**Estelle's POV**My body tensed even more as I heard footsteps approaching and stopping right behind me.Shit!Was it a monster? I didn't have a gun.My legs were ready to run and finally went limp when a hand gripped my shoulder. My eyes widened and my whole body sweated. I would die!“Estelle?”Eh? I knew that voice.Prince!"Why are you here?"I turned around and saw him standing looking at me in surprise. I gave him the same expression."Why are you here?" I repeated his words. My hands were too limp to move properly but luckily, he got the hang of it.“This…” He didn't answer anymore especially after seeing my photos scattered on the floor. He was suddenly very nervous."
**Estelle's POV**"Let's see how tasty you are!" he whispered slyly, lifting my skirt for doing something dirty to me.I had a hard time pushing him away because he pinned me so hard. My wolf roared and nearly made me a killer.The man laughed at the evil thought. He almost reached me until suddenly someone punched him.I broke free and fell into the good man's arms. Looking up, I saw Prince growling with all his facial muscles popping out."Who are you? You are not a member of this pack! Leave her to me! She is a useless rotten Stealer!” snapped the stranger.Prince hugged me tighter as he spun around and kicked his opponent in the face.The stranger’s two teeth fell out and were thrown to random places. He coughed up blood while clutching his aching chest. Suddenly his haughty eyes narrowed, including his guts.
**Alpha Cedric's POV**“Just tell me! You like me, right?”Estelle's fingers dived into my face, brushing me very gently. My pupils widened and my wolf rebelled because it wanted her.“Bump her inside and bring her under our dominance! We want her!” it barked repeatedly."What are you doing?" My low voice hit her soft face. “And why are you being so aggressive? Who taught you to do that?”"I'm not sure." She fell on my lap, bringing our faces closer, and locked me in her charms. "Maybe because you're so attractive."With this close distance, I could smell her scent even though she had injected a suppressant into her body. Did all men also smell the same thing? And somehow it pissed me off a lot.“Do you have the same opinion as me?” She hugged me tighter and fanne
