Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Crystal’s POV:

After some thought, Arron finally nodded his head. “Yes, I know. She’s probably at the orphanage.”

In all honesty, I was taken aback by what he said. I didn’t expect her to be in the orphanage. But after giving it some thought, I was not surprised at all. Beryl was a whimsical girl and rarely had friends. But unexpectedly, she became close with the orphan girl, Alva.

This gave me another headache just thinking about it. When I first came to the border, I had a sneaking suspicion that Alva was not as naive and innocent as she appeared to be. The girl seemed smart to me.

While I was the Alpha here for the past five years, I saw Alva rather frequently because of Beryl, and so I am fairly confident in my assumption.

When I first came here and took office, I was still pregnant. I ran into Alva while I was walking by the orphanage one day, but I didn’t expect she would recognize me confidently right away. Considering her blindness, her intuition was surprisingly accurate. It was hard not to doubt that Alva was extraordinarily gifted in many areas.

But fortunately, she was a sensible girl and didn’t reveal my real identity to anyone.

Alva was around Beryl’s age when I first met her, but she had now grown into a teenager.

When I took Arron to the orphanage, Beryl and Alva were sharing a plate of roasted sweet potatoes together. Their faces were dirty, looking like little cats.

I didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh. I looked down at Arron and found him smiling too.

“Beryl.” I called out to the little girl who was eating sweet potatoes with relish and felt helpless.

Beryl turned around and saw me. She was so shocked that she even dropped the sweet potato to the ground and completely forgot to pick it up. Her small mouth hang agape with hot sweet potatoes stuffed in it. Like a little girl living on the streets, her face was covered with soot.

“Beryl.” I called my daughter’s name again.

Beryl came to her senses, immediately picked up the sweet potato on the ground, and turned around to run away.

Well, she was still angry.

At the sight of this, I felt a twinge in my temple, clueless as to what to do with Beryl.

Alva, on the other hand, walked towards me with a stick in her hand. The girl had already grown up a lot. Her eyes were as clear as the spring water in the mountain, but there was no light in them.

I quickly walked over, held Alva’s hand, and led her to a stone bench.

“Don’t worry. Beryl won’t go far away,” Alva said softly.

“I see. I’ll go find her later. By the way, where is your brother? Isn’t his class over yet?” I looked around and didn’t see any sign of Felix.

After the reconstruction, Felix went back to school like the other children outside the wall. In the past few years, he had won many awards in the school and became a top student. He was now the envy of his classmates and the heartthrob of many girls.

“He went to buy cakes for Beryl after class.” Alva smiled.

I closed my eyes and rubbed the spot between my eyebrows helplessly. “Beryl is bossing Felix around again.”

While we were talking, Felix came in with a large bag full of stuff. The boy had grown up into a tall young man. His blonde hair was neat and tidy, and his blue eyes were gleaming with joy. He quickly walked over and greeted us. Then he reached inside the bag and took out a box of pastries for Arron.

Arron took it and thanked him politely.

Smiling, Felix ruffled Arron’s hair and asked where Beryl was.

“She is still mad at me. She ran away as soon as she saw me just now,” I said helplessly.

“Why? Did you two get into another fight? People who don’t know you might think you are enemies.” Felix joked and showed a look of mock disgust. He was still the same sharp-tongued as before.

As he spoke, he reached into the bag and pulled out a matcha cake for Alva and gave me the rest. “Well, I’m sure these cakes and deserts are enough to make Beryl happy.”
