Nora's Pov

I turned around on the bed, spreading my arms widely; it's been long since I slept on something this soft. It felt strange, my eyes snapped open when it suddenly dawned on me.

"Fuck!" I screamed sitting up with bulged eyes. I had sex with a strange man yesterday. I slammed my fist throwing my head on the headboard. I didn't even know his name.

My eyes landed on the blue-painted wall, and I remembered his blue eyes and how they glowed in the dark. Mate? He claimed yet I couldn't feel it. Gosh, I hated not having a wolf.

I stepped down from the bed and my eyes caught the white stain on the sheet. My cheeks turned crimson and my nipples hardened. That was the best sex I have had in my life.

I shook out the thought, I shouldn't be thinking about that. I cheated on Leo for the first time and I'm happy. Who does that? My heart clenched with disgust, I'm not the type to cheat. I wasn't raised that way.

I moved wobbly towards the ensuite, feeling disgusted with myself. My stomach churned seeing the sex print on me. The hickey he left on my neck was a mark.

It burned under my fingers, it was beautiful. I didn't even know what to do. I wanted to enjoy the memories of the sex but I hated myself for doing so.

I exhaled by packing my hair into a ponytail as I stepped into the bathtub. I shouldn't be sad, Leo did something worse than I did. He disgraced me, molested me, and still cheated on me. This was just an atom of what he had been doing to me.

I wondered if he had noticed that I ran away, I wanted to know how he would react. I chuckled, picturing him with widened eyes and opened jaw. He'd wanted to run mad.

I stepped out of the tub, grabbed the towel at the rack, and wrapped it around my chest. I'm happy, I'm free. I chanted mentally before stepping out. It felt so good to be both.

My eyes twitched seeing a strange woman in my room. She turned after hearing the ensuite slammed closed. "Good morning ma'am," She greeted with a big smile.

My eyes roamed around her for minutes, her fitted black uniform gave her job away. She was a maid here, but aside from that, her green eyes glowed with joy, showing she loved her job. She packed her hair in a tight ponytail and highlighted her beautiful face. She looked really beautiful.

"Morning," I answered with a small smile. Whether she noticed that I checked her out or not. She didn't use it to react to me but beamed widely.

"The King sent you to me." She answered, her smile brightened at the mention of the King, and I know she cherished him so much. Wait, the king? Which King?

"Which King?" My high-pitched voice filled the room because it was only the Lycans that used King as their title, but the maid just shrugged like it was a normal thing.

"Get dressed in this so you can meet him if you are that excited." She raised a clothes ,bag to my face. I searched her face for any hint but it gave nothing out. Sighing, I collected the bag and walked in,to the ensuite to get dressed.

I hoped it wasn't what I was thinking. He better not be a Lycan. Lycans are more powerful than the werewolf so they love to prove supremacy to the werewolf so we aren't friends but live in peace.

I smiled behind the maid rubbing my palms against each other, my breath became unsteady because I didn't know what he would say. What if he sent for me to scold me for being a slut? No, I'm not a slut. But am I really not a slut? Gosh, I need to stop thinking about this.

"We are here," She announced with the same wide smile. Did she ,ever get tired of smiling? I glanced aro; mythe wide hallway and trembled.

I rubbed my sweaty palms ,around the mini blue gown and pushed the door open. My gaze, went to blue eyes immediately oblivious of everything else in ; sheoom.

The black shirt he wore fitted him perfectly showing his bulge biceps, a blush came to my cheeks as I remembered how my fingers dug into them yesterday. I think he was thinking about yesterday also because his gaze became hot when he stared at the little cleavage showing which made my blush deepen.

"Excuse me," A voice filled with disgust snapped at me and I was forced to remove my gaze from blue eyes. That was when I noticed he wa.sn't alone in the room, a, beautiful lady that should be in her early twenties glared at me with blue eyes.

My eyes dropped to their entwined hands on the table then I noticed a ring on her finger.

My breath stitched as I blinked severally but nothing changed. They were still holding hands and she still had a ring. He noticed my gaze on their hands and he removed it as quickly as possible, but it was too late. I saw everything.

My heart shattered at every step I took toward the chair, I must be dreaming. He isn't married, right?

"So you are the strange visitor we have?" She twirled in between her perfectly manicured fingernails, before leveling her gaze with mine. I shrunk back to the chair seeing the hatred in her eyes. "Well, I'm Freya, fiancee to the Lycan King Zane."

The world stopped moving as the words left her mouth, my eyes spun and I couldn't formulate any word. I slept with a king who had a fiancee. He lied to me! I went from a liar to another chronic liar. My heart clenched in pain, and I could feel my tears threatening to spill out.

I pushed my plates away and rose from the chair quickly. "I'm full." My voice barely came out but I knew they heard me because Freya scoffed.

I sniffed and quickly scurried out of the room. "Nora. Nora," I heard King Zane yell my name before I slammed the door closed.

"Leave her alone Zane, did you have anything to do with her?" I heard Freya questioning and I tensed expecting his answer but nothing came up.

The tears spilled out of my eyes discovering that he denied knowing me, someone that couldn't get enough of me yesterday. Gosh, I'm so stupid! Giving myself freely to a stranger.

I'm done, I couldn't stay here anymore. I don't care if I have nowhere to go. I took different turns oblivious to the gaping looks I got from the maid. Their gossip echoed in my head.

"Oh, poor girl. She fell for the wrong person."

"Man snatcher!"

"She must have thought she would be the next Luna. Oh, shame on her." The disgraceful comments kept coming until I ran out of the palace.

The cold breeze blew my hair around and they stuck to my wet face. I sniffed, not bothering to remove the strands. I'm tired. I'm fed up with life. I just want to be happy. But nothing went as planned. I hated being cheated on yet I did what I hated so much. Will I get over this?

I roamed through the street not minding the way my stomach was growling. I needed to get a place that would hire me as their worker if I wanted to survive.

A car pulled over by my side roughly and I jerked away in fear. "Didn't you see__" My words got stuck in my throat when Alpha Leo stepped out from the back seat? I staggered backward as I breathed heavily. He found me! How did he find me?

He smirked when our eyes met. "Where did you think you could run to Nora?" His eyes flashed with fury as he strode closer to me. My breath hitched as I stood rooted to the ground. I should have ran but I couldn't, I trembled while standing and that only gave him more joy.

His smirk widened as he snatched my hands and dragged me closer to him. “You are mine forever, I own you.”
