When I woke up the next morning, Zander was already out of bed. I didn’t think he would stay with me the entire night but he did. In fact, what woke me up was the door opening as Helena made her way into the room.
She was wearing skinny jeans and a green spaghetti strapped bralette looking crop top and she was holding a bag of clothes in her hand. When she saw me still in bed
she frowned.
“Hurry up; we’re leaving this morning.”
I was confused by her words, “Leaving to where?”
“To the palace,” she face palmed, “Honestly you wolves are slow as hell. Now get up so we can leave.”
“I didn’t know that I was going with you to the palace.” I stuttered, “I haven’t even said bye to my friends.”
I didn’t want to go to the palace. All I wanted was to just live freely and in silence and I knew the palace couldn’t offer me that.
She exhaled deeply and took a seat at the edge of the bed, “Listen to me; you cannot go back to that pack after the way you embarrassed the Alpha’s son. You are enemy number 1 and if you go back there, none of us will come to save you when he decides that he wants to hurt you.”
I opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off, “He hates you now, and by extension so do his friends. Coming with us is your safest bet and besides, did you really think that we stepped in just because we were looking for drama? We stepped in because Zander wanted you with us so you have a choice; come with us or go back there and keep suffering.”
I knew she was right so I took the clothes right out of her hand. She smiled when she realized what my decision was.
“You made the right choice,” she smiled at me, “I will have someone inform your friends about where you are; freshen up, I will be waiting here.”

Before she left, I asked her, “Why does Zander want me?” My wolf thought it was because he knew we were mates but I wanted to know why.
“I think that is something that you should ask Zander yourself.” without another word, she turned on her heels and left.
I took the clothes with me as I made my way back into the bathroom. Suddenly, it didn’t hold the same excitement as it did yesterday. Instead, it held a sense of finality, a sense of anxiety and anticipation.
I have never left my pack since the day I was born. I lived here, I grew up here and I did everything here. It just feels so surreal that in one day, out of the blue, I am leaving and possibly never coming back.
I took a quick bath because I knew Helena was waiting for me and I didn’t want her to get impatient or tired of me. When I was done, I opened up the bag of clothes. that she gave to me. It contained a pair of light blue ripped jeans, a black crop hoodie with some tiny inscriptions on it and a fresh pair of bra and panties- well a lace bra and a thong.
Thankfully the underwear was my size but I had to really struggle to get into the jeans; thankfully, it wasn’t too tight. The top wasn’t something I would usually wear but even I had to admit that it looked pretty cute on me. I towel dried my hair and tied it into a messy high ponytail and I made my way back out.
Helena looked over my outfit and hummed in appreciation before dragging my hand and pulling me out of the room.
I followed her down the stairs of the hotel to the lobby where the guys were already waiting. As soon as they saw me, they made their way outside and into their respective cars. I was to ride with Zander just like the day before.
“Hi,” I said as I got in but all I got was a grunt in response.
I was shocked by his response or lack thereof and a part of me wondered if I had done something to upset him. Throughout the entire car ride, he stayed quiet and when the car stopped at the airport, he got out without even saying a word to me.
I got out and followed behind him as he stepped onto the private plane that was waiting for us.

“Hey,” I tried with Lucas and he turned to me with a bright smile.
“I see you’re well rested,” he led me towards the rows of seats and sat next to Helena so I was forced to seat next to Zander, “Helena sure has good taste in clothes; you look stunning.”

Helena slapped him upside the head and he laughed loudly. I turned to face Zander to see if he was involved in the conversation but his head was kept down and he was blatantly ignoring us. I wanted to ask what was wrong but I also didn’t know if it was my place.
“Don’t worry Lyla,” Lucas said again, “The flight will be over before you even realize
it.”
as over
Lucas was right- the flight in about forty five minutes and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Two really nice women came and offered us food and drinks. All of us except for Zander ate and the food was quite literally the best I have had ever. It was so rich and expensive that it just tasted amazing.
As the pilot announced the landing, we had to get back into our seats and buckle our belts. When the plane landed, the two nice women returned and gave us each a complementary piece of cake which we graciously accepted.
A few cars were waiting for us when we landed and I was shocked and confused because Zander got into a different car this time and I rode with Lucas and Helena. Lucas tried to assure me that I would enjoy life at the palace but the truth is that I was terrified.
They all seemed to be used to this expensive lifestyle and I felt like an imposter in it. I felt like people would know I was a fake and I was scared of what I was going to experience when I got there. Lucas seemed to realize that silence was what I needed, because he fell silent and allowed me to think.
The ride lasted thirty minutes and as soon as it was over, Helena led me over to a young looking woman in a maid’s dress. She whispered something in the woman’s ears which made the woman nod eagerly.
“We’ll be back soon; we have some things to handle,” Helena explained to me, “This is Marla and she will keep an eye on you.”
She left before I could say a word and Marla turned to me with the kindest eyes. She looked like someone I could trust. She probably wasn’t much older than me

and Helena and she had warm brown eyes, mousy hair and kind features.

She led me into the massive palace and made sure to slow her steps so that I could have enough time to admire the beauty of the palace and not get lost with all the abrupt turns that we were making.
She led me towards a massive set of oak double doors. She pulled it open to reveal the biggest room I have ever seen in my life. A massive bed was set at the far end of the room and it was perfectly laid with white sheets and more pillows than I wanted to count. To the left were two doors that I assume lead into the bathroom
and closet.
A huge marble table and chair set sat to my right and a few feet away from it was a massive balcony that I couldn’t wait to explore. The walls were painted a deep black and the room was the epitome of perfection.
“The prince will be here shortly,” Marla explained then she bowed to me and left.
I was in shock that she bowed to me because I am not a royal. I was too busy thinking about it that I didn’t notice when the door creaked open until I heard a small voice.
“Who are you?”
