---------------------------------

The story so far: Theodore has disappeared, Clarissa has become a part of the Alpha King's pack with a new identity - Lilith Kes Riley to find leads on the werewolf council because of her belief that the king must be involved as an apex authority. She couldn't become the secret guard because of Elder Elodia, instead she becomes a part of the pack due to Archduke Alaric interventions, rises up to the ranks, and is now the Commander of Elite Warriors. The Alpha King has returned to the pack and is the same brat from the hotel, she offends him again by attacking his precious daughter. Royal Beta tells her the princess is a werewolf but Clarissa knows he is lying, she is a human.

---------------------------------

Clarissa's POV

The warning from Royal Beta did nothing to stop me from fulfilling my personal plans. Ever since that day, I've been tirelessly chasing after the princess. Of course, not conspicuously but yes, I was trying to get to her to apologize.

Of course, it was not that simple. While locked up in the dungeon, I weighted her usability and so far, she seems the only one who can help me break the ice with King. She is so beloved to him that he is hiding his only heir from the world and has duped everyone by the witch's spell to make her appear part wolf but he can't fool me. I know how witch's spell work and I can sense it on her.

As I can't stage his accident and become his knight in shining armour then I must use the princess, his lovely daughter to get to him. My morals did try to get in between but this is not the time to hesitate. I'm at a point in life where I don't really care if anything happens to her or anybody for that matter as long as I achieve my goals. I need to become his guard and even if I can't get access like the secret guards then at least I can carve out some useful information while staying next to him. However, for that to happen he needs to accept and trust me. Maybe by winning the trust of his daughter he will start seeing me in good light.

I thought it would be easy to lure a child but his daughter is just as stubborn as him. She kept me at a safe distance no matter how many times we 'accidentally' ran into each other. I was not surprised at all by the fact that she denied me firmly whenever I requested to greet her in many of those incidental encounters. But the nerve of that kid!

Whenever we crossed paths, I would always behave so kindly towards her. A sweet smile is always plastered on my face and I try to look as less intimidating as I possibly can to make her comfortable around me but she is always on guard. She would stiffen the minute her eyes would find me. It was as if every time she saw me, she remembered the glint of the dagger pressed up against her small neck.

It didn't bother me although I was the reason behind it. I don't care about her but still at least for once, I sincerely want to apologize to her. She is too young to experience all this. She must be terrified. I can't tell her to not be afraid of me because I may harm her in the future if need be but I do want to honestly tell her to forget about it if she can. It'll be difficult but it will be better for her because I know the suffering these experiences can bring. I can relate to her in that aspect. The tiny conscious part left in me was screaming at me to stay away from her, to leave her innocent self alone, but I can't... I need to do this.
