I raised my chin to look up at Noah, stunned. Never in my life, had my parents or elders raised their voice against me yet Noah had the audacity of slapping me.

I watched him with a pair of red eyes, my knuckles tightening in rage.

"How dare you insult Emily like that?" He began, "She is born in a humble family. But, that doesn't give you authority of humiliating her. She is bigger than you by heart."

I rubbed my reddened chin, still itching where Noah had just hit me. I struggled to stand up on my feet. Dylan and Denver rushed to my side and supported me to get up.

"Isadora, are you alright?"

"Are you able to walk? Should we get a ride for you?"

They asked, a failed attempt to show how concern they were for me. Meanwhile, Noah walked forward to the Mountain's guard and snowed him a batch as he commanded,

"I command you to let me and my friend, Emily enter the Ryker Mountain with the one-time Alpha Pass!"

I stared Noah in desdain. The batch he was showing was a treasure to any member of the pack that gives them right to go against any Alpha. But, it can used only one time.

I had begged my mother for two weeks to give Noah that batch on his birthday. Never in my life I had expected that he will waste such a precious batch on such a small occasion.

But, guess Emily was everything that mattered to him, just like he once mattered to me.

The Mountain's guard let them enter. I swallowed my anger back. My grandmother's healtg mattered me the most and it was the right time for the White Tulip to bloom.

If I missed to pluck it now, I would never get it again. So, I ignored everything else and moved forward.

My ankles were broken because of the fall and I could not walk properly. Emily watched me struggling and smiled as she turned to Noah and said,

"Beta Noah, my legs are hurting. I can't walk anymore. Let's rest here."

Noah smiled at her, a very rare sight to watch as he said softly. "Let me carry you then."

Having said that, he immediately picked her up in his arms and walked stern, staring deeply into her eyes.

Dylan and Denver walked by my side. Watching me staring at Emily and Noah with a pair of cold eyes, they immediately suggested, "Isadora, you are hurt. Let us carry you."

"I don't need any of you. I can walk by myself." I said coldly before I enhanced my speed, fed up of their pretence.

But, they rushed themselves and caught up with me.They didn't stop pointing at every flowers they watched and asked, "Isadora, do you like that flower? Should we pluck it for you?"

I kept on rejecting them whereas Emily's hands were filled with a bouquet of so many flowers, each one precious and a treasure of our pack.

As we reached the peak of the mountain, my gaze fell on a tall plant with silver leaves. It had a flower blooming at the top. The whole plant had only one flower and that was what I wanted.

A White Tulip!

"I want that!" A whisper escaped through my lips, and before I could walk forward, Dylan and Denver had already reached to the plant.

"Let us pluck it for you, Isadora!" Dylan said.

"Yes, it will be a gift from us to make up to you." Denver added.

However, they were blocked by Noah. He stood before them. Staring deep into my eyes, he said, his voice cold, "You can take any other flower you want. Emily likes this flower the most."

The twins were taken aback, staring at each other in confusion. They had just promised to give the flower to me but their beloved also want the same flower, despite being occupied with so many flowers already.

"B-But, Princess Isadora wants the flower as well."

"And we arrived here first!"

They had added, but the tone lacking the confidence that needed in the argument.

"How about we race? Whoever wins will get the flower?" Noah suggested.

"Yes, that's a good idea!" Dylan exclaimed, "Let's do arm wrestling! It's a fair plot."

One by one, Noah defeated both Dylan and Denver in arm wrestling. Funny thing was Noah's right hand was injured in the last battle and Dylan was a champion in arm wrestling yet they both got defeated by an injured Noah.

They thought I couldn't see their foolish act. Even a blind could see how easily they had given up.

I laughed in irony, said nothing. I was tired of confronting them. I just watched as Noah plucked the flower, walked past me and handed it in Emily's hands, saying affectionately, "For my beloved!"

"Oh, Beta Noah!" She blushed, like a petal of fresh flower before she threw herself on him. Hugging him tightly she added, "You are the best! I'm so lucky to have you by my side."

I didn't waste a second and walked up to them. Just as they broke their hug, I said, "Name your price!"

"What?" She was stunned.

"What do you want?" I asked, "I as an Alpha blood and the crowned Princess of the whole Kingdom gives you my word that I'll fulfill all your demands... Just give that flower to me."

"You are a princess. You can have whatever you want. I'm just an omega. How can I snatch things from you?" Emily said, her eyes red as she raised the flowers towards me. "I dare not lay my hands over things that you like."

I sneered at her reticulous acting of appearing innocent and bullied. But, the flower was more important. So, I reached out to hold the flower in my hand.

But, before I could grab it, Nolan took it from Emily's hands.

"Is this flower that important to you?" He narrowed his eyes before he walked up to the cliff. I frowned as he held the flower mid-air.

"Kneel!" He commanded, "Kneel before Emily and apologize for what you said to her."

I clenched my fists angrily.

"Stop this nonsense, Noah. I said I'll give anything for this flower. Just name it." I yelled.

"Just do as I say or I'm going to crush the flower in my hands and blow it away." He spat.

My eyes widened in terror as I saw his grip tightening over the flower.

"No wait..." I screamed, "I'll do it!"

With that I suppressed the rage and hurt in my eyes as I knelt before Emily. Looking up into her eyes, I said, "I'm sorry, Emily. I shouldn't have called you a Wrench!"

I shouldn't have call you by what you really are!

Emily didn't look satisfied. My words humiliated her even more. She quickly added, covering her anger and jealousy with the mask of a faint smile.

"Even if Princess Isadora is apologizing, it looks like she is threatening me. Alpha blood is really unshakeable." She said jokingly which caused Noah to kick me harshly.

My nose hit a stone and began bleeding. He didn't care at all. He just spat, "Beg her! Beg her to forgive you."

I glared Noah with a pair of blood shot eyes but the flower in his hand kept me still. I lowered my head, kowtow Emily and said, "I beg you! I beg you! Please give me the flower. I'll do anything for you. Just give that flower to me."

"You will do anything?" Suddenly she spoke, her voice laced with maliciousness and eyes greedy.

"If that's true, then on your mating ceremony, don't choose Beta Noah! I want him. Can you do that for the flower?" She asked, finally letting her mask off.

I smiled in sarcasm. "Even if there wasn't a flower, I wasn't going to choose him. He is all yours."

Noah's face twisted. He looked at me with a pair of cold eyes. "Do you think I believe that?"

I said nothing. Just looked at Emily and asked, "Can I take that flower now?"

"Of course," she said, satisfied with my answer.

She raised her hands to grab the flower from Noah's hands who was still staring at me in disbelief.

I took a sigh of relief as the flower was finally coming to me. But, suddenly the flower slipped through Emily's hands and fell off the cliff.

"Oops! It just slipped away." She said, her voice casual, not surprised at all.

"You, Bitch!" I cursed, "You did it purposely."

Since the flower was gone, I wasn't going to hold myself back.

#Bang#

I slapped her right away!

The slap was so hard that she fell off the grassland, staring at me in a shock.

But, what I didn't expect was that Noah's response could be so crucial.

He didn't think twice before he walked closer to me. Grabbing my hands tightly, he pushed me off the cliff.

I watched him in terror as I saw him smiling while I was falling.

I was falling off the cliff, so high that even my bones would be crushed. Yet, Noah was smiling watching me fall.

A searing pain shot through my arm as I fell. The sudden jolt of adrenaline was quickly replaced by a horrifying realization: this was it. I was falling to my death, and the man I once thought I loved was watching me with a twisted, joyful smile.

My last sight of him wasn't one of regret or panic, but of pure, unadulterated pleasure.

The wind roared in my ears, whipping my hair across my face. The ground below, a mosaic of jagged rocks, rushed up to meet me.

My mind raced, not with thoughts of a life flashing before my eyes, but with a single, burning question: why? Why did he do this?

For Emily? A woman who was so transparently a snake, yet he was utterly blind to it? The thought of his betrayal, of how easily he cast me aside, hurt more than the certain fate that awaited me.

Then, just as I was about to hit the ground, a blur of silver fur and a powerful, muscled body slammed into me. I felt the impact, a jarring force that knocked the wind from my lungs.

But instead of the final, bone-crushing blow I expected, the fall slowed. I was no longer plummeting, but being carried.

The next day when I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in the plain bed of pack's infirmary which was conjusted with a lot of flowers I didn't like.

Dylan and Denver stood before my eyes, holding a basket of fruits in their hands. I wondered where they were when I was being bullied by Noah and Emily, probably watching the fun from behind.

"Isadora, you woke up!" Denver exclaimed, quickly coming up to my bed.

"Goddess! I was so scared." Dylan took his seat on the other side of my bed, a failed attempt to show their concerns to me.

"That Noah! What was going on his head when he pushed you?" Dylan pretend to be angry.

"It was a tough deal of saving you from the fall!" Denver said, placing his hand over my mine, "I'm glad we saved you on time or else we don't know what the consequences would be."

"You saved me?" I raised my eyebrows. Denver's wolf was silver in colour and a wolf that appeared before me was also silver.

So, they finally had the nerves to come save me on time.

But, it didn't matter anymore. Even if they save me on time, they were responsible for everything that happened to me. They had fooled me just to bring Emily on our sacred place, and I will not forget that.

"Thank you." I said, my voice mechanical, devoid of any emotions.

Just then Denver's phone rang. His eyes lit up and a soft smile spread through his lips.

It was Emily's call.

He turned to me and said, "Isadora, you have just recovered. You should be resting. We will not disturb you."

Having said that, they quickly got up from my bed and rushed out. They were so desperate to talk to their beloved that they didn't even bother to close the door of my ward.

It didn't hurt me anymore. I was used to it by now. The only regret I had that I could not get the white Tulip for my grandmother because of their ploys.

I wished I had not accepted the offer of my twin mates and had not let them join me.

I sighed, regretting for so many decisions that I took in my life which had only troubled me in the future, including bringing Emily to my mates' lives that I heard a knock on the door.

And then, without waiting for my permission a bunch of Werewolves barged inside the ward, all in their wolves' form groaning and licking.

"How dare you walk inside without my permission?" I yelled, "You will be punished!"

"Then punish me, baby doll!" One of the strong wolves said, grabbing the corner of my skirt.

"Wh-What are you doing?" I frowned as they quickly pulled the skirt off my waist, leaving me half naked.

I tried to wrap myself with the bedsheet. But, with one pat, they broke the bed in two pieces and grabbed me by my neck.

"Your mother locked us in prison for raping a lowly omega! We will see what she does when we ruin her own daughter." One of them groaned, their eyes burning with the fire of anger and revenge.

"No..." I screamed and ran towards the door. But, they had quickly blocked my way, leaving no room for me to escape.

Desperate, I tried to connect my mother with telepathy. But, her line was busy. She must have been talking to someone through it.

I had no choice but to connect Noah at this moment. As the Beta of the pack, he was the incharge of the pack in my mother's absence.

I had connected him.

"Noah..." I barely managed to focus while those criminals were ripping the clothes off my body, "Save me..."

"Th-They are trying to... molest me. Noah, please help me." I begged.

I had hoped, for the sake of our childhood friendship, Noah would not let me ruined by a bunch of rapists.

But, his cold response sent chills down my spine. "You should have thought about that before slapping Emily. The fuck I care! Go fuck yourself, Isadora."

With that he disconnected our telepathy. My legs trembled in terror and my whole body shiver as if an electric current passed through my veins.

I did not connect him again. Neither did I connect with the twins. I just stared those lustful gazes on my private parts and then I let my wolf out.

I didn't know I could fight this well or maybe it was the desperate situation that forced the strength out of my body, but I kicked those strong werewolves out of me as if they were leaches.

They tried to get up again. But, this time I was quick. Before they could reach me again, I jumped off the window and ran for my life.

I didn't need anyone to save me. Not anymore!

I was enough for myself.
