**Estelle's POV**Alpha Cedric was willing to be my partner at the party! We would come as a couple!Oh, none got any better than this!When the morning came, he still hugged me. Even when I slowly pushed him so I could start working on my chores right away, he seemed to be holding my body so that I would be still in his embrace.I was like a fool all morning because I couldn't stop smiling. Wasn't it a very romantic morning? We were like a couple of mates who got along and loved each other.I looked at his face while he still closed his eyes. His very thick and macho eyebrows, his closed eyes, tall and sturdy nose, very soft lips, very firm jaw, and sturdy body spoiled me the whole night. When I touched the tip of his nose, he spoke and startled me."So, you agree with me, right?"I frowned not understanding what he was saying.My hand moved in front of him. "What do you mean?"He held them in a firm grip. After that, he inched to whisper in my ear. "Rain isn't all that bad."My chee
**Estelle's POV**Scarlett did it! She had damaged my dress!Oh, what should I do? I had to go to a party in a bit but I didn't have a proper dress.I shook my head after that, refusing to lose to her. I couldn't give up.So, I approached my wardrobe again for some decent dresses. But unfortunately, all the pretty dresses that I could wear to the party were all damaged by her.I was sure she did it because she came out of my room with scissors this afternoon!Oh, it was all over!I hugged my body tightly, crying and sobbing.She was so outrageous. Why was she so evil? If she wanted Alpha Cedric, this wasn't the way to go. I had never hurt her in such a cruel way. I never attacked her if she didn't do it first.Doomsday was in sight. I wouldn't be able to come to Vera's party. I didn't have proper clothes and I couldn't possibly embarrass Alpha Cedric by wearing a lousy dress.As my sobs got louder, someone knocked on my bedroom door. I thought it was Scarlett so I grabbed a wooden blo
**Alpha Cedric's POV**Please, Estelle, go! Don't stand by me so you can hear that I'm hurting you right now! Don't make me feel bad!"Oh, so you two are a couple?" Mr. Mord's youngest daughter chuckled. She was Vera, Estelle's friend at the training center. I heard they weren't in a good friendship and it must have made it worse that Estelle didn't come with me. But I had my reasons, which I couldn't just ignore.FLASHBACK ONI got word to go to the Hard Stone pack. It was a pack I had a pretty good relationship with. I needed them to strengthen my supply of weapons and ammunition, and they needed me because I had abundant food sources. Since my territory was in the fertile plains, that became one of the strengths of my pack, Lunar Divine.Alpha Stone, leader of Hard Stone, wished I could come to his palace to discuss food supplies. After the Luminous Red pack declared war on them for some reason, they had to prepare everything to survive until the war was over. One of them was food
**Estelle's POV**“Estelle?” called Alpha Kenneth while raising his hand slightly. "Come hold my hand so I can ask you to dance in front of Cedric!"I was not sure. Somebody, help me! I didn't want to dance with Alpha Kenneth and hurt Alpha Cedric. I meant, I wanted to make Alpha Cedric regret abandoning me, but not if I had to dance with Alpha Kenneth because I was walking toward my death.After having a complicated debate with my head, I shook my head very firmly.Alpha Kenneth glared. His hand which was like a prince's stretched out in front of me turned into an extremely terrifying fist. His muscles bulged as if he wanted to punch me.“Estelle,” he whispered in a voice as hoarse as that of a beast. He was holding back his anger. “I will give you one more chance. I know you are very confused because a very great Alpha like me asked you to dance. You don't need to be awkward and embarrassed. Come and dance with me! We must avenge Cedric together! You don't have to think twice! He do
**Alpha Cedric's POV**I was bored. These dancers kept dancing in front of me on purpose. Though I was not interested in them, and also, I did not want to see them any longer. I just wished I could go back to the palace and explain everything to Estelle. She must be so disappointed and I had to tell her this right now!But where was she?I turned my head to look for her everywhere, including some small gaps between the mingling guests. But she wasn't anywhere. She seemed to just disappear.My worry suddenly appeared. Did she come back to the palace because she was too angry? Or was she not there because she had been kidnapped?My body darted to find her. I didn’t want those representatives of Luminous Red to kidnap and injure her just for me to defend them against the Hard Stones.But then someone held me very tightly.“Alpha!” Scarlett said while holding my hand. She kind of screamed, and people would probably accuse me of bad things.So, I tried to calm down and turned to her. "What
**Estelle's POV**"Did you steal it?"I turned my head when Alpha Gerry approached Alpha Cedric and humiliated him by saying that. What nonsense was this? It was a watch I bought with my money legally! We didn’t steal!Roland who had finished dancing with me now stood quite tense beside me, looking at Alpha Cedric and Alpha Gerry. Then he looked at the beautiful watch on Alpha Cedric's wrist and then realized something."Isn't that a hereditary clock?"Her words startled me. I turned to him confused and slightly panicked. "Are you sure?" My hand moved for less than a second. It was so fast, as fast as my heart beating so fast.Was I involved in a crime involving a powerful Alpha? Damn it! Why were all my plans crumbling and falling apart? I just wanted to pair up with Alpha Cedric at this party and want Vera to stop bullying me with her friends.“Yeah,” he nodded, making me curse inside. “It's famous, at least that's what I know. Before I became Beta, I was friends with him. He always
**Alpha Cedric's POV**"You can't take her to your palace to be imprisoned!" I screamed as I turned to Alpha Gerry, glaring at him.Since earlier I had been silent because I didn't want to be seen as caring about Estelle. The Luminous Red representative was still watching us.But dammit, I couldn't hold it in anymore especially after hearing that Estelle was going to jail. She was innocent! She couldn't possibly steal!"Why can't I jail her?" Alpha Gerry grinned, the one thing he did often. He was great at that, as well as some other bad stuff. "She has committed a crime therefore she deserves to be jailed!" He looked for his men and gave them the code through his eye movements.Several men appeared and complied. They walked like hungry giants to grab Estelle.But I wouldn't just let it!“Sorry, Gentlemen, but she is my maid. So, I have the right to punish her!” I said, walking barely running to head off Alpha Cedric's men.Because of my aura, they backed up suddenly, like a ball boun
**Estelle's POV**Alpha Gerry finally let me go!Oh, that was so close!I thought I would end up in jail and become a sexual resource in his palace, being a woman like Gena only by force.I didn't want that bad thing to happen to me. I still wanted to live quietly and freely and lived in Alpha Cedric's palace.Yeah, he was a pain in the ass, but it sure was way better than living with the evil Alpha Gerry.Roland smiled with satisfaction after Alpha Gerry released me and gave a very ridiculous excuse.“Oh, I can prove to you anytime that my palace is very clean. But I'm too busy now that I have to go back. You're right, I'm a wise Alpha. I already got my watch so I have no more reason to seduce her.” He nodded annoyed at me. "Besides, I don't want to get a curse from her body."He went with his entourage to leave this party hall. Before that, he had advised Alpha Cedric, “Always take care of yourself! Maybe the Moon Goddesses will punish me because you have a mute Stealer in your pala
