Chapter 0104

I stay calm, determined not to let their comments upset me. "There must be some sort of misunderstanding. I'm looking for some water-"

"Good luck finding it!" a she-wolf staff member says bitterly. "We only have the lowly water, not the kind good enough for royalty. You'll find no water here for you, princess." I take a deep breath, steadying myself. "I'm just trying to help my daughter-"

"We don't serve your kind here, princess!" this comment from one of the she-wolves is met with loud laughter from a small group of nurses who have gathered around.

"Our water isn't good enough for you!"

"Nothing here for the princess!"

"We wouldn't want to disappoint such a high and might royal!"

The comments fire one after another, all dripping with sarcasm and malice. I turn, scanning each of their faces, and seeing only disdain in their eyes.

I have learned about my growing reputation within Pack DarkWood as an arrogant royal, I've faced harsh comments before. But this? To deprive my sick daughter from water just because they're mad at me?!

I didn't realize until now how serious this situation had gotten.

I've got to find some way to address this... for Mia's sake.

Suddenly, a raspy older voice rings out amongst the crowd.

"That's enough! Leave her alone!!

I turn to see who is speaking, and recognize her immediately. It's Nurse Nadya!

The nurse who aided me when I was hospitalized after my car accident. We had reunited not long ago in this very hospital. And she had treated me with the same kindness, just as she had done those six years ago when she took care of me. "Here's your water, Dear." The old nurse says, thrusting a bottle of water into my hand.

"Thank you!" I say to her graciously. "Thank you so much!"

"You just take care of that darling little girl of yours," Nurse Nadya says to me with a wink. A playful smile rests on her old lips.

"What are you doing, Nadya?! You're supposed to be on our side!" one of the other nurses cries out angrily.

"Nadya's probably only helping her because I bet the Princess paid her! Anyone can be

your friend as long as you pay them handsomely, isn't that right, Princess?"

The crowd is clearly not happy with Nadya's kindness towards me.

"Don't any of you remember what this she-wolf has done for this pack?! What she's done for each of you?" Nadya asks, looking around at her peers, pointing at me. "So what?"

"What difference does that make now?!"

"She's changed!"

They all have a response, a reason why they shouldn't listen to Nadya's beckoning to treat me with respect. But the growing crowd is angry and getting more unsettled with each. passing moment. "She served as the pack's Beta for years! She took care of all of us!" Nadya's voice is more insistent now.

I look at the older woman giving her a smile, thanking her for trying to defend me. But I need to speak up for myself. No one else can do it for me.

I open my mouth to speak when I hear a particularly angry she-wolf voice behind me.

I turn to look at the speaker, seeing their wild eyes as they exclaim, "She wasn't even that good of a Beta anyway! She was hardly good enough to be worth remembering!"

My eyebrows raise at the comment, surprised to hear such a strong opinion about my work.

Then I shock them all by looking directly at the person who said that, and I smile. I smile sweetly, a genuine grin, and the crowd is hushed into silence, clearly not expecting this response.

But I ask in a voice rich with kindness.

"Really?" I smile.
