The Betrayed Princess Rising (Lylah and Ezra) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208

3rd Person’s POV

Finished

Tiara knew Rowan had grown desperate after Lylah left-how that restless edge had slowly twisted into something far less dignified.

But this?

This was something else entirely.

Pure humiliation.

If word spread beyond Blackfang, the pack’s reputation would be stained.

“What on earth has gotten into him?” A scoff escaped Tiara’s lips as she folded her arms, “This is beyond embarrassing. I’ll have someone take it all down by morning.”

“Why is Rowan bothering now?” Lylah’s expression remained indifferent. “Back then, every time I gave him anything I made with my own hands…” Her voice faltered for the briefest moment before hardening again. “He never even looked at them. Just shoved them away into some cupboard like they meant nothing.”

A faint, bitter smile touched Lylah’s lips. “Regret? Maybe. But it’s far too late for that now. None of his stunts will change anything.”

Tiara studied her carefully, then nodded. “I’m glad you see it that way, Lylah.” A smirk tugged at her nouth. “Though I have to admit seeing this embarrassing side of him is so entertaining. And compared to he perfect Alpha Ezra…”

She stopped abruptly, her brows knitting together before she shook her head, correcting herself. “No. That comparison doesn’t even make sense. They’re not in the same league!”

ylah chuckled softly, the tension easing as they began exchanging light, teasing remarks at Rowan’s

xpense.

Tomorrow would be the highlight of Blackfang College’s events-the equestrian race, where young tudents would ride and compete. It should have been a day of excitement, of laughter, and thrill.

et Lylah found herself pacing now, unease coiling tightly in her chest, Ezra had promised he would arrive hat morning.

But he hadn’t.

Her fingers tightened around her phone before she finally called him.

The line clicked, and his voice came through-lower than usual, rougher, like something restrained

eneath the surface.

I’m sorry,” he said. “Something came up. I need to stop by the treatment center for a while.”

ylah’s heart lurched. “Ezra, what happened?!”

“Sshh.” His tone softened, attempting reassurance. “It’s nothing. Just a fever.”

“No. I don’t believe you, Ezra,” she said, her voice tightening. “Are you hiding something from me? Why would you suddenly come down with a fever?”

The words lingered-and then guilt struck her.

What if he had already been unwell back in Lunaris? What if he had hidden it, simply to honor her request to come here? That was just like him-to put her first, always, even at his own expense.

“I’ll come pick you up after the event is over,” Ezra said gently. “Don’t worry about me, alright?”

Lylah fell silent.

Her thoughts turned, searching for something that made sense. Ezra was strong-far too strong for something like a simple fever to slow him down this much. So was there another reason he seemed distant?
