430–The Princess In Damsel
Byron:
“Fire!” I screamed as I sang along to the song, trying to copy the dance steps.
The rain and storm lifted my mood. I loved stormy weather and the loud sound of wind against the windows. It felt like a melody to me. I liked chaos.
I hated a dull life where you wake up in luxury, do nothing, sign a few files, then come home acting like you achieved something. That was no fun.
“Byron, what the hell?”
Sean walked into my room and turned off the music.
“What are you doing?” he asked, resting his hands on his waist.
“I am stressed, and you know what helps with stress?” I asked, watching him raise an eyebrow.
“K–pop,” I answered. “My favorite band is returning.” (1)
I rushed to turn the music back on, but he slapped the back of my hand.
“Act like an Alpha,” he muttered.
I gave him a look and walked away, then threw myself onto the bed.
“I am bored,” I said.
Of course I was bored. I had stopped dating. I had stopped going to strip clubs. Now I had responsibilities. I had to make sure the pack ran properly.
That meant speaking to council leaders for the good of the pack and doing all the tasks I hated. I hated dealing with those people. They acted important and it annoyed me.
“Anyway, I am heading to the border to see how things are going, okay? We have to lock down all the gates. The storm is getting worse,” Sean said as he walked toward the door.
I lifted my hand and gave him a small wave. I heard him grunt when I did not offer to join him, and then he left. I stayed spread out on the bed.
After a few minutes, I dozed off. My phone started ringing. I could barely find it in the mess on my bed, but I grabbed it and answered, holding it to my ear.
“Hmm, hello?” I asked sleepily.
“Your Highness, I know I am not supposed to bother you at this time, but there is a woman at the border saying her daughter is sick and she needs our help,” the guard said.
I forced my eyes open, but they kept closing.
“Hmm, who is she? Is she your wife?” I asked.

“No, Your Highness. She is a rogue. There is a rogue woman here asking for help.
“Give her some money or just help her. I do not care,” I said, scratching my stom
Our pack did not usually help rogues, and I did not care much about the decision. Sean and the warriors handies those matters. I left it to them.
Then I heard a voice in the background, and I sat up straight in bed. It was Madeline’s voice.
I ended the call quickly and called Sean.
“I thought you had fallen asleep,” Sean said when he answered.
“Forget that. You are at the border, right? Go outside and bring Madeline in,” I said, getting out of bed and fixing my hair.
“What? Are you dreaming about her again?” Sean asked with a loud groan.
“No, I am not. She is outside the border, and that stupid guard is laughing while her daughter is sick. Just go outside and bring her in, okay? I will meet you halfway,” I said, ending the call and rushing to wash my face.
It felt like the moon goddess had heard my wish. I had not wished for her daughter to be sick, but I had wanted an excuse to see Madeline again just once. Now she was here.
Then I ran outside, got into my old car, and drove toward the border. When I arrived, Sean had already brought her inside and was holding an umbrella over her. The sight of her shattered me. I could not remember the last time I felt this way seeing someone in that state.
“Madeline,” I murmured.
She looked at me with trembling lips and showed me her daughter.
“She is dying,” she whispered.
“No, she is not,” I replied. “Help her,” I shouted at Sean.
Sean quickly took Elara from her arms and rushed her to the car.
“Come on, come inside,” I told Madeline.
I took off my jacket and placed it over her shoulders. She accepted it. That meant she did not see me as her enemy, and that mattered more than I could explain. Watching her wear my jacket gave me a kind of happiness I had never felt before.
Within minutes, we drove to the hospital. We rushed Elara into the emergency room, and the doctors were called to do everything they could. I stayed with Madeline in the waiting area.
“I cannot believe he did that,” Madeline whispered.
“Sean, go get her a hot coffee, now!” I called, cursing under my breath because he was moving too slowly.
Madeline was soaked from the rain, and I could see her shaking. Sean gave me a look and hurried off to get the coffee.

“Who did what? You can tell me,” I urged.
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said the name,
“Elgin.”
Hearing it made anger rise in me.
“What did he do?” I asked. My tone must have been harsh, because she looked at me in confusion for a moment.
Then she told me everything he had done.
I had never seen bigger fools than Elgin and Graham. To have a chance to be with Madeline, to have a child with her, and to throw it all away took a special kind of stupidity. Still, I focused on her.
“You do not have to worry about anything,” I said. “I am sorry for what happened before. I could not vote to keep Baxter in the hospital because the ban was still in place, but that has changed. No matter what happens, you will always have my support.”
Then I decided to tell her something that might lift her spirits.
“You know what? You can move into my pack.”
As soon as I said that, I saw her raise her eyebrow. Shock was clear on her face.
“Yes, move in. You are welcome in my pack,” I added firmly.
