Alpha's Little Princess Wants Revenge

Elsie’s POV

Five days became five years of waiting for my mate to get me out of the confinement I subjected myself to, for him. But he never showed up. Not back then when he promised to do everything in his power to get me out within five days… also not now, the day I was supposed to be released on a bail request after five whole years.

The fresh air in the outside world soothed my skin, making me feel less disgusted at myself after five years of being punished for a crime I would never commit even if I were to lose my mind.

Five years ago, a few days before I was supposed to be crowned as Luna, my best friend (Kiera), was attacked on her birthday. She hadn't survived the attack and I was going to stop at nothing to bring whoever the culprit was to book.

As the princess of the Pack and the right heir to my late father's throne, I made Finn, my mate the Alpha of my pack with the strong anticipation to rule by his side with all the support I could give as a royal breed.

They claimed they had direct evidence that could back up their claims and they demanded that he follow them to the station. But Finn would never do that. He would never kill my best friend. He would never even kill anyone at all unless they truly deserved it. I was sure of it.

Finn had always been one with a soft heart. He would pardon criminals after minimal punishments if they showed him how remorseful they were because he couldn't bear to have his mate's pack member's blood in his hands.

‘I’m here to rule them by your side, not to kill them off. No matter what their crime may be, they can be redeemed if they recognize their mistakes and they’re truly remorseful’ he would always say and I couldn't be prouder to have a mate like him.

There must have been a mix up somewhere but before concluding, I turned to face him, asking if what the officers said was true. But he confirmed my trust in him. I saw the sincerity in his eyes when he held my hand and promised he wasn't that kind of person and that he would never deliberately hurt me like that.

I believed him. I trusted him, quite
