**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. "

  **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

  **Estelle's POV** “Estelle, are you Prince's fiancee?” I turned to Alpha Cedric quickly, even more than I had just come to my senses. My eyes widened and I gasped. "You must answer honestly," he said domineeringly. It was like an interrogation and it made me nervous for no good reason. Damn it! "If you are indeed his fiancee, then say it now!" I was having a hard time digesting all of this. I just came into his office to deliver the cake. I thought he was very tired because he had just come on a long journey. It was Roland who said that. So, I tried to cheer him up in my way. But suddenly he was talking nonsense like this? "If you're jealous of Prince and want me to stay away from him, then you don't have to do this." My hand flicked in the air. I was pretty pissed off right now because this wasn't the response I was expecting from him. But

 **Estelle's POV** Prince was too busy that day so I hadn't been able to inquire about our failed engagement. My desire to confirm a few things had also not been realized. Toby asked me to come home now. “Prince will probably be home very late. Sometimes Delta Laes does that too when he's very busy with evaluations. Are you going to stay here until late at night?” Of course not. Alpha Cedric would kick me out if I did it. Well, that was too much! But I was sure he'd be furious. So, I followed Toby. After we became good friends, he would walk when he came home. His driver would follow behind us, driving the car at a very slow speed almost like a snail. "I'm going to walk more often to lose weight," he said excitedly. "You can see the biceps on my arms are getting more visible now." He raised his arms and showed off his biceps. “Well, it's like an inf

  **Estelle's POV** I pounded the pillow on my bed repeatedly, imagining it was Alpha Cedric.  He was very cruel because he didn't want to listen to me and preferred to believe Scarlett. This was outrageous! I hated him! My body swayed on the mattress. I cried even though I was exhausted. My emotions were drained but I couldn't suppress my anger. My wolf swirled with endless roaring in my head. It threw up all the errors that made it hard for me to rest. It said it was disappointed in Alpha Cedric. It also said that maybe we should run away from the palace and choose Prince instead. “At least he loves us, Estelle!” I shook my head in refusal. “Alpha Cedric never appreciates our presence! He even cornered us in front of our greatest enemy, Scarlet! This is outrageous, Estelle! We can't accept this. Let's get out
