Story: The Rejected Princess
Why would the gentle and kind Nyra say something that could lead to a misunderstanding?
He adored Nyra and wished she and Celina could live with him, but he knew Helen was the best woman for his Luna.
Jalen treated Helen coldly as punishment for her scheme three years ago. He wanted her to work harder and better for both herself and the Snowshade Pack.
He had never been so frustrated before. He rushed to the hospital and discovered Celina’s ward crowded with reporters.
A reporter was curious: “We heard that Young Master Desmond was hurt from being stepped on by a horse. He got admitted to the hospital because there was internal bleeding in his brain, but Master Jalen called away all the doctors just to treat Miss Celina. Is that true?”
Nyra nodded shyly. “That’s true. Celina and I are more important to Jalen. Sigh. There’s really nothing I can do about that…”
Jalen was taken aback. Desmond was seriously injured, and even the reporters were aware of it.
Nonetheless, he had coldly denied Helen’s request yesterday.
The journalist went on: “You’re such a loving couple. Even Miss Celina is treated like a princess. We’re so envious of you. Can you tell us when your wedding will be held?”
Coyly, Nyra replied: “You’ll have to ask Jalen about this. He had decided to break his engagement to Helen. He’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”
The nurses standing to the side stared at Nyra with wide eyes.
“I wish I was born twenty years later as their baby.”
“Wow! A fairytale about an Alpha and his sweetheart. How sweet!”
Everyone began gushing about it when Jalen enquired with a dark expression on his face.
“What are you talking about, Nyra? Why are there reporters here?”
“I…” Nyra thought quickly. She directed the reporters and nurses to leave immediately. “I thought you were the one who called the reporters here.”
Jalen frowned. “I don’t like making my personal matters public.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t say anything to them in the future.”
Nyra lowers her head. She apologised timidly, like a scared rabbit, and Jalen’s heart warmed.
“It’s fine. It’s not your fault.”
“But why would you lie to Helen and say that I gave you jewellery that was exclusive to my Luna?”
Nyra jumped. Her cheeks turned red and she began to cry. Her eyes were as bright as the surface of a lake in summer.
“It’s because I love you too much! I’ve never stopped loving you, Jalen. I pretended you gave me the jewellery but didn’t expect to be misunderstood…”
“If Helen is bothered by it, I’ll explain things to her.”
Jalen rubbed between his eyes and shook his head.
Nyra gave him a daughter. He couldn’t be too harsh towards her.
She smiled with delight.
Nyra knew Jalen too well.
He was accustomed to being placed on a pedestal and assumed that every woman in the world would fall in love with him. Helen put aside her pride as a princess for him, giving him a daughter without expecting anything back.
Nyra only needed to sweet-talk him, and he would believe whatever she said.
Furthermore, he was a proud individual. When the entire pack started talking about Jalen’s impending marriage to Nyra, all she had to do was cajole him into it, and it was done.
