Mine: His Caged Princess
Chapter 55

She wanted to answer him back that she wouldn’t, but at the same time, she knew that he was doing this for her. To punish those who hurt her.

“But I don’t know how to paint,” Arabella responded.

“How do you know? Did you get your memory back? If not, then at least try. Whether you know how to paint or not, I will decide that.”

Arabella furrowed her eyebrow and gritted her teeth in anger. She picked a couple of colors from the box and wondered how to paint.

“Hurry up!!” Wylder said, getting impatient. He wanted to see whether she would paint or not, while Arabella couldn’t understand anything because of the pressure that he was applying on her.

“I can’t.” She shook her head and kept the paint nearby.

“Ara…” He warned her. But ignoring his warning, she ran out of the office.

‘Zahir! CODE RED! Wylder managed to mind-link before Night took control of him. He growled angrily, and his form started changing. In the next few seconds, he was standing there in his Lycan form, glaring at the desk, which had been pissing Arabella since then. Aiden’s face paled, and he wondered whether he should run out or stay here. If he would run, there was a big chance that the predator would chase his prey and kill him in anger, but staying there was also not a good idea.

Night broke the desk from the middle and then started breaking it into pieces in anger. All of a sudden, his mind was diverted when he heard someone opening the door.

Aiden looked at him in fear when he realized that he got caught.

RUN!!

That was the only thing that he could think of at that moment, and he started running as fast as possible, shouting for help, and behind him, Night chased him, breaking the door of the office. He hit Aiden with his hand, throwing him away.

He growled loudly and searched for Arabella’s spicy scent.

When he was busy breaking the desk, Zahir had mind-linked the whole pack to get inside their room as soon as possible because their alpha had again lost control.

Everyone could hear Night growl and roar and stay hidden wherever they could, under the table, behind the curtain, or inside the room. All they had to do was stay quiet, and running in front was the worst thing that one could do.

“Night is angry. Only you can calm him down.” Arya said this to Tiara, who was staying in Wylder’s room without talking about it with him. Also, it was Arya’s idea that she should stay with Wylder, in his bedroom. Eden warned Arya when she suggested this to Tiara, but she didn’t hear Eden’s silent warning.

Eden knew Arya’s intention wasn’t wrong. She just wanted to see Wylder happy, and they knew that his happiness had always been Tiara.

But still, Eden wanted to give Wylder the freedom to decide what he wanted and what he did not, instead of poking her nose into his life.

“Me? I didn’t sign up for handling the anger of a beast who wouldn’t waste a second to kill me.” Tiara said, shaking her head. She knew that magic worked only on a human’s part, not a wolf’s or Lycan’s. That was why they could only erase Tiara’s memory, not Dora’s because all wolves were considered sons and daughters of Selene.

So, it wasn’t easy to play with Selene’s pups’ minds and emotions.

Tiara clearly remembered how Night warned her to stay away from them. It was clear that he had sensed something odd, but that was a different thing, and he wouldn’t replace out exactly what because they had planned everything perfectly.

Arya was taken aback upon hearing this reply from Tiara.

‘Didn’t she tell them before that she would do everything to get Wylder back?’ She wondered. She had watched Tiara grow, and she knew that she loved her life a lot, but she always put her loved one before herself.

‘Because when Liara loves, she loves a lot.’

And if she was claiming to love Wylder, then she shouldn’t have said that.

“I mean, Aunt Arya! I’m an actress. I can’t risk any injury to my face.” Tiara explained.

“Yeah! That’s right.” Arya said, nodding her head in disappointment, and walked out of Wylder’s room.

Eden and Arya didn’t inform Wylder that Sophia and Brandon talked about Tiara and Wylder’s wedding, and looking at Sophia’s condition, Arya ended up saying yes without talking with Wylder. Arya’s instinct had started telling her that she had made a mistake.

Arya followed Wylder’s scent and thought to try to calm him down on her own, but her legs halted when she saw the scene in front of her.

Night was holding the breeder, who was the talk of the pack, in his arms and licking her face. She was running her finger through Night’s fur and giggling at the same time.

“Can you please stop? I’m hungry.” She spoke softly. “And also return control to your human, because he, too, hasn’t had dinner because of work.”

Arya waited to see how Night responded, and she was surprised to see that Night actually listened to her. Arya didn’t stay there and returned to her bedroom.

“You were right.” She muttered, looking at Eden, who was applying body lotion to her legs after a shower. “I shouldn’t have taken the decision on behalf of Wylder.”

“Glad you realized.”

“What should I do? Should I call Sofi and tell her that this wedding can’t happen?”

“No.” Eden shook her head. “Let Wylder decide that on his own. We will break this news to him tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, at the right time. Arya, let me make it very clear that I won’t sacrifice our son’s happiness just because Sofi is sick. Sofi has always treated Wylder as her son, so I’m positive that she will understand.”

On the other side, Sophia Haysbert was lying on the hospital bed, thinking about how she had landed there.

“You’re not my daughter.” She pointed it out, and then the next thing she knew, the woman who looked like her daughter tried to kill her. If not for Brandon’s sense that she was in trouble, she would have been dead by now.

She wanted to scream and tell everyone the truth, but at this moment, she didn’t have another choice but to act like Tiara’s puppet because the lives of both her husband and her Tiara were at risk.
