**Estelle's POV**
I thought Prince would pull out a dagger and stab me like Scarlett. But he did take out a pair of beautiful emerald rings.
I raised both my eyebrows. "What's this?"
He smiled a little. "Our engagement ring, I mean it was supposed to." Then his smile turned dry.
I took the ring from his hand, looking at its every part. It was a plain ring. But on the inside was carved my name. It was written Estelle on it. The rest ring was still in Prince's grip. It was bigger than mine and had his name engraved on it.
"I've been preparing for this for a long time," he said with a grimace. “Ever since my father said that he had already found my bride-to-be. I didn't even know the size of your future ring finger and neither did mine. So, I used the measurements of a soldier with a height like my father, as well as a member whose height is like yo
**Estelle's POV**As I thought, the stranger was a mean person!He grabbed me and choked my neck. What I thought was a black robe was actually a loose black jacket. His face was not visible because of the hood on his head. I pulled it and saw him wince.“Nice to see you, Stealer!” he said.Who was he? I didn’t know him.I tried to dodge. My throat hurt badly and my eyes filled with tears. My vision was blurry and I had trouble breathing. No matter how hard I tried to attack and break free, I always failed to do so.My hands gripped his hands, digging very deep nails. My wolf took control of half of my body but that didn't set us free."You can't get away from me. You will die!"I almost believed his words, until my savior came again. My body jerked backward and swayed on the road. My mouth gasped as I tried to get air.“Alpha Cedric saved us! I know it!" shouted my wolf.I turned my head as my blurry eyes became clear. There I could see a fight between the stranger and Prince.“Prince
**Alpha Cedric's POV**Estelle just came back from the training center. I intercepted her in front of the palace and she looked very shocked. Her confused face was suddenly very panicked. She must have made a mistake."Did you just get home?" I asked coldly. I combed her appearance, on her two fingers that intertwined because of nervousness. "Did you get into trouble recently?"I sent her back to her room to finish the chores after she shook her head. I told her to meet me at my study when she finished it.Roland returned from his business outside the palace. He gave several reports regarding the progress of the construction of reconnaissance towers on the border. “The construction is already done 50%, Alpha. Security at the border has been tightened. I've asked several other packs for help as long as we reward them later. They are asking us for 10% of the crop.”&nbs
**Alpha Cedric's POV**"Sleep on the bed." I nodded to my untouched bed. I hadn't even laid down at all since earlier.The tiredness that came over me after knowing that Estelle had received a ring from Prince made my emotions explode. I chose to drive it away by reading a book. And soon the intruders came.“Why are you still standing there? Get on the bed!” I said, more like an order. "I don't care what you do. You said you wouldn't intrude on my time."Although hesitant, she nodded. Her gentle footsteps stopped at the edge of the bed and climbed onto it. Her withered body slipped under the covers. She closed her eyes and I returned to my seat.I had to be awake in case the intruders came again. They must be hybrids because they suddenly disappeared in thin air. There were no pure blood werewolves who could teleport. Damn it, what was I dealing with right now?My mind wandered. A second later I woke up and tried to read a book. My senses stayed awake at all times because I couldn't b
**Estelle's POV**I wanted Alpha Cedric, as much as I wanted my voice back. Why was he giving me such a hard choice? "Please," my lips moved even though I didn't make a sound.But damn it he was too assertive right now.My arousal scent filled the room even more, even worse than before. My blurred gaze now only contained his extremely handsome and dominating figure. I liked this side of him, if only we weren't arguing about Prince and Scarlett."Take your pick, Estelle!" His voice was even sky-high when he was angry. Why was he this handsome? And his hardness, I couldn't wait to clamp it. I wanted to feel his power again, wanted to feel his tip hitting every part of my walls. I wanted to moan and call out his name then we would convulsion as our flood gushed from under our belly.My hands struggled to move. My lips moved and he always understood.
**Alpha Cedric's POV**I heard the commotion involving Estelle and Scarlett. But I decided to ignore that. Ever since I heard about the hybrid's attack target, I had to be careful from now on. I didn't want Estelle to get hurt, so I couldn't show too much interest or worry me about herA few days passed. Suddenly Roland gave me some information. We visited a place, a forest that was very dense and quite terrifying. But this was no big deal. I was used to standing and exploring places like this."Are we going to find anything, Alpha?" asked Roland. "I gave you some information but you decided to start your search here. This is not the point I mentioned to you.""I've calculated everything," I said seriously. "And I believe this is a suitable location."It was a forest that was often referred to as the Haunted Forest because not a singl
**Estelle's POV**My wolf was getting out of control, especially when we see Scarlett lowering her collar, showing her cleavage"Impossible!" My wolf snapped. "Alpha Cedric is not interested in her!"I believed the same. But fear still suffocated me. I was shaking and had a really hard time focusing. I even failed to hit Scarlett. My hands staggered and fell into the void. As a result, Scarlett laughed at me because I was a weak girl."This pack doesn't need Luna like you," she sneered while adjusting her collar to normal again. "They need Luna who is tough and can be of use to them." She scanned my appearance with a disgusted expression. “What is your contribution? There isn't any! Unless you want to include causing trouble on the list, then you must have a million contributions!”"I never cause trouble!" Finally, I jerked my hand. I wouldn't let anyone
**Estelle's POV**“Yeah, go to my pack. I will take you. Do you want?” Prince looked at me very seriously. His eyes which were usually like gentle warm honey were now like those of a formidable war general. "I'll make sure you're safe, Estelle."I suddenly choked. At first, I thought this was just my imagination, although I wonder why I have to fantasize about it. I had no special feelings for Prince and expected nothing from him.Clearing my throat, I took a few steps back while lowering my head. Without me saying anything, Prince understood what I meant."If you don't want to, that's fine. I will respect your wishes and opinions.” He was good as usual. Oh, he was so cute.My wolf was partying in my head. It praised Prince excessively.Prince's work was completed shortly after. He complained about several things to me.
**Estelle's POV**"Who are they?" whispered my wolf frantically. “Why are they smiling horribly while surrounding us?”I backed away trembling after realizing that. The people around me had strange faces like monsters. Their gazes crossed with large one-sided eyes. Their messy yellow teeth, their very dirty and dusty skin."Who are they?" My wolf didn't stop asking when I didn't know anything.My step wobbled and I fell on the damp leaves of the forest, making the strange men laugh together. Their smell was very bad, their nails were dirty and long."Our prey is so cowardly," said one of them. His hair was messy and almost bald. Few strands left making it look like a dying creature."Go!" My hand jerked to shoo them away. My voice was hard to come out.“Haha, what did you say?” One of them grabbed my
