Story: The Rejected Princess
It was over now.
I smiled softly and said carefreely, “Jalen, if you’ve ever really loved me, you wouldn’t have thought I was joking when I said I wanted to leave you.”
“It’s true, I once loved you. I was even willing to give up half of my life, but everyone deserves dignity and self-love. Nobody would tolerate you hurting them indefinitely.”
“I’ve come to realise that Desmond and I have a better life without you.”
Jalen looked up, acted as if he had just been tortured, and moved forward on his knees.
“Helen, please…”
I frowned contemptuously and took a step back.
However, I decided to seek Desmond’s opinion: “Desmond, do you want to leave with your father?”
Desmond shook his head, determined. “No! I like Mommy, Grandpa, and Grandma!”
Jalen’s eyes widened with despair.
“Send the guest off,” I told a servant. “I’m in a hurry. I still have a billion-dollar contract to negotiate.
The servant secretly laughed. “Yes, Your Highness.”
Jalen just vanished from my life.
I concentrated on expanding the Silverhowl Pack and establishing connections with other packs. Our allies expanded as well.
My exceptional management abilities enabled each pack to complement one another. Our food production, population, and wealth increased exponentially.
With Jeff’s help, I was able to gain the support and love of every pack, becoming the newest queen of the pack alliance. My coronation as queen occurred a year later.
That’s when the newest Alpha from Snowshade Pack approached me with the news.
Jalen had lost interest in managing Snowshade Pack and was removed from his position by his citizens.
Nyra disliked him and told him the truth. Celina wasn’t his daughter.
Jalen could not withstand the blow. He went insane, turned into a rogue, and wandered everywhere.
I swirled the red wine in my hand and smiled broadly.
“What an interesting story, but what has it got to do with me?”
I had detached myself from another person’s narrative and lived as a legend.
