“Can I know a little about you? I don't mind being your friend,” Aron inquired as he stared at the waterfall. It was a sculpture of a wolf with water dripping down its mouth. “Of course, my king, I used to live in Owl Coven village before I came to the palace,” Selene confessed, ignoring the part where she was abused and made jest of. “Then how did you become a breeder in the palace since you are living in Owl Coven? If you don't want to answer, then don't,” Aron said as he turned to look at the woman. “I came to the party like everyone else a month ago. The king found me and made me his breeder." She wasn't ready to disclose too much information because she would just be embarrassing herself. Aron knew the story was not complete, but he wasn't going to pressure her now because he could see her reluctance. “Okay then” “How are you related to the king, Milord? You look a lot like the king,” Selene pointed out and rubbed her neck because of the cold. “Well, I'm one of the distant
Isabella sent out her invitation to some of the nobles' families in the kingdom and some other people she knew. She already has a beautiful dress since the party will be held in the next two days. Lily came into the room and gave Isabella what was in her hand. “Are you sure no one sees you?” Isabella asked; he needed to be cautious. "Yes, milady,” she replied. Isabella smiled as she looked at what Lily gave her. A malicious smile graced her lips.*** Andrew didn't know what to expect as he walked inside the king's chambers for the first time. He has always submitted his report through the use of paper, scribbling down the words and giving them to Harold, who was the closest to the king, being his beta. “Your Highness,” he said, bowing his head. Rayne was busy reading a parchment among all the others lying on the table. “Speak up,” Rayne beckoned to Andrew. “The lady didn't come out of her room for some days, but she came outside twice,” Andrew explained as he stared at the king
“You are allowed to take in any woman and do all sorts of things together. Why am I not allowed to do the same? What makes you the exception and not me?” Selene yelled as she clenched her fist in anger. She wasn't ready to call him by his title, and she dared not call him by his name either. Rayne stopped abruptly when she heard her say that. Could it be that she was right? But she wasn't ready to admit it. “You choose to be weak, so why would you blame me for taking you in as my mate? You couldn't even shapeshift, and most people in the packs thought I brought in a human as a breeder when you were a wolf, but you chose to hide in your shell,” Rayne complained as he took a step closer to her. Selene's face contours in pain as his words sink into her brain. But she wasn't ready to cry for this heartless king. He will not hesitate to poke at her weakness. “Then why are you here when you know I'm weak and don't fit to stand beside you? You should leave and let me be.” Selene explain
“Another woman was murdered yesterday night,” Harold confessed before raising his head to meet the king's eyes. “The body?” Rayne inquired, wanting to know where the corpse was. “It’s in the morgue, your highness. I moved the corpse there this morning.” Harold confirmed. “Then we have to speed up, and it seems I won't be staying long to celebrate the Queen's birthday.” Rayne said, pausing, “What about them? Have they improved?” Rayne asked, his demeanor changing because he knew the ministers would soon come to the palace to demand what he had been doing to curb the killing of the people.“They are ready. I just told them to wait for you." “Pick the best ten out of them and let them meet me outside the gate at night,” Rayne said sternly as he began to walk towards the field. “It is done, Your Highness,” Harold replied, walking by the king's side.The men fought in front of the king and Harold, and Rayne could see they were improving. The best thing now is to check the corpse to se
The hall was decorated with a beautiful intricate design made on the wall; the air was filled with a rose scent; and the chandeliers remained fixed on the wooden ceiling, casting their orange glow on the hall. However, Rayne could smell a unique smell. Though the hall was filled with a rose smell, he recognized this particular smell, which stood out among all the other scents. Rayne turned his head to look at the intruder; of course, he recognized her. Selene descended the stairs in her long, flowery green dress that hung low on her shoulder. The dress clung to her tiny waist with a silver ribbon at the end. Her wavy, long brown hair bounces down the stairs as she descends. Her doe-like black eyes scan the crowd before walking towards a seat. Rayne's mouth waters as he stares at his wild vixen. He followed her line of direction, and he wasn't surprised when he saw Aron waving at her, smiling. His body boiled, and he clenched his fist in anger. Almost all the men were ogling at he
Selene entered the palace like everyone else to celebrate the ball in the palace. Her mother and her two sisters were beside her. Humans and werewolves were present, and the palace walls were painted gray with a mixture of white. A statue of a wolf was positioned beside the hall entrance.When she got inside the hall filled with people, the ceilings were adorned with beautiful chandeliers and burning lanterns, casting a warm glow that embraced the hall, making it look more enchanting and mesmerizing.The girls giggled among themselves, and the people were busy talking with one another in the hall.Selene's sisters were approached by their mates, and they began to talk while Selene stood in one corner of the hall with her mother. Gentle music played in the background, and everyone began to dance. The soothing music eased Selene’s heart and mind. She found herself swaying to the music alone. Almost everyone in the village knew she was a weak wolf who couldn't shapeshift, and they coul
The king has found his long-awaited Fated Luna!" Harold declared it aloud for everyone to hear. Jubilation filled the air as they all clapped their hands together. Almost everyone becomes curious in the hall as they await who their Luna is."Let's rise to our feet as we welcome the King and the fated Luna of Eldoria!" The lights dimmed as everyone stood up from their seats. Selene was sitting beside her mother when Harold made the announcement. All eyes were fixed on the entrance as two figures emerged from the wide-opened door of the hall. Petals of flowers were scattered on the floor they walked on.Selene was happy, as everyone in the kingdom knew the Lycan King had been deprived of a mate since he ascended the throne. Every lady was awed at the beauty of the king; he was undoubtedly handsome in the blue coat that trailed down his body. They all smiled as the background flute began to play. The two couples walked up the podium, and the bright glow from the chandelier on the ceil
“You will be breeder as from today. You will be confined within the walls of the palace." Rayne declared“What?" She asked, and her eyes doubled as she asked this question. This time, she didn't stutter, and she praised herself for this. “What do you mean by breeder? I'm just a young woman living through hard days and struggling. One moment you said I'm your fated mate, and now you say I will be a breeder?"“I thought you weren't listening before, Selene," he said, her name rolling off his tongue like a symphony. “You are my destined mate, but why do you think I would declare in front of everyone that you are my mate? You are weak and powerless. Which kingdom wants a weak Omega as their Luna?"Selene's eyes stung at this as her heart tore into pieces. She wished he could stop and just tell her he was only joking, but why would the feared Alpha King joke about something like this?“I only want to take you in as my concubine to save you from humiliation because you are mine and mine
