The Alpha Prince's Redemption

Exciting News

Nalya

" I have exciting news!" Azura burst into my room, sounding jolly as always. I removed the covers from my face, and she gasped, coming on the bed.

" Nalya, what happened to you? You have bags under your eyes, and they are puffy," she said.

" I slept late reading that book," I lied, pointing to the novel on the table. She jumped up and browsed through it.

" I thought you were a virgin, naughty girl," she winked.

" You had news," I cleared my throat, changing the topic. If I didn't, she'd make me confess to something, and I'm not willing to share.

" Yes, I was contacted by LaCroix fashion house, and guess what?"

" What?" I groaned.

" They want us to do a photo shoot in their latest pieces since we are kinda famous now," she said. I frowned, not liking that. According to Azura, LaCroix is a popular company that is globally known, and the CEO is from this pack, so she empowers young adults here.

" No, I don't like taking pictures," I said, pulling the cover back on my head.

" Come on, it's going to be so much fun,"

" No, now go away," I grumbled. Azura was pointing out all the good things, however, I wasn't interested. My heart was still shattered, and I had no zeal to do anything.

" You said you needed money, right? They will give us money and clothes. Who knows, we can even be their permanent ambassadors!"

" Money? Did you say money?" I asked eagerly, and she nodded. I needed to raise money fast to leave this place for good.

" Fine, but I've never done it so you will have to teach me," I conceded.

Azura nodded eagerly. I got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom. I took a long cold shower. I wore a dress and pumps. It was a little chilly, so I put on a cardigan. We were walking to the staff dining to eat when I saw Rhaegan in the common living room, talking to Kendrick and a beautiful woman with long blonde hair. The woman twisted her neck uncomfortably to look at us, and for a second, her beauty stunned me, however, I quickly evaded my gaze.

"It's honestly not hard, we'll be told what to do. And Nalya, we are talking about one of the high ends companies out there, and they compete with big names," she said.

" It's interesting that a woman it?" I said, impressed.

" Yes, Miss Nadia LaCroix is a big name in fashion, not only in the werewolf community but the human world. Also, she's godmother to the alpha prince and his brother,"

I stopped in my tracks.

" Prince Rhaegar has a brother?"

" Yes, didn't you know?"

" No," I murmured.

" The young Prince Roman... He is lowkey but handsome and popular like his brother,"

" Wait, Roman, like Roma?" I asked, and she nodded.

" Oh yes, I thought you knew because there was a rumor that he was courting you," she said. I shook my head. Roma and I were friends, but I didn't know his station because I never saw him eat at the high table, nor did he mention it.

" Oh, I didn't know that,"

We reached the dining room. As always, so much food was put for me. Azura waited for me to finish eating, and when I was done, we went outside to the garden. We found Zac waiting, in his hands was a camera.

" Zac will assist me, now, sit by the rocks and extend your legs to us," Azura said. I did as she said, and they took a few shots. I stood up.

" Okay, turn your back and look over your shoulder,"

" You're beautiful, now, let's do some freestyle shoots," she said.

" What do you mean?"

" Just be natural and do what comes to mind," Zac said. I did as he said and was having fun especially when a few passersby started cheering for us. My body suddenly became aware, and it burnt pleasantly.

' he's watching you,' my wolf said. I could feel Rhaegar's charring stare on me, and I knew if I looked up, our gaze would meet. I didn't want that, so I stopped, making the small crowd that gathered disappointed.

" Okay, this isn't a show, at least not today... so run along, folks!" Azura shooed everyone away.

" You're a natural," Zac commented, looking through the pictures.

" Thanks,"

" Are you going to the country club tomorrow?" she asked, and I nodded.

" Yes, the whole day, but I'm not working the Friday," I said.

" Good, we can go for the shoot on Friday," she said, and I nodded. I checked the time on her wristwatch and found it was almost lunch. I needed to clean the game rooms while they were eating in the hall.

" Alright guys, I'll see you later. Bye," I waved at Azura and Zac and rushed inside.

I grabbed my cleaning supplies. I started with the game rooms. It was the messiest since some would spend their whole day eating and playing there. I picked up the liquor bottles from the floor and packed them away before cleaning every surface and glass window. I was done within an hour and went to the common area, no one used it a lot because there was no TV, only expensive-looking furniture. I was about to leave when I saw them, Rhaegar and Roman walking side by side. Indeed, they were brothers. How did I not see it sooner? They had similar features, and both were intimidating. The only difference between them was the color of their eyes as Roman's were Amber and the Prince's ocean blue.

They noticed me and exchanged a glance,

' You're openly staring at them,' my wolf hissed in my head, and I instantly looked away. There was no way I could leave using another exit because of where they were. I mustered my courage and carried my cleaning equipment to go past them, but Rhaegar's hands and mine made contact most subtly. My body was electrified.

" Are you well?" Rhaegar asked. I only nodded and left the room.

" You hurt her," I heard Roman say to his brother. I lingered, waiting to hear his response, but he didn't utter a word so I walked away.
