LORCAN'S POVThe coronation ceremony was held deep in the heart of the enchanting forest. The crackling campfire illuminated the faces of the expectant crowd as they eagerly awaited their Luna’s grand entrance. I sat alone on my ornate throne, a glass of whiskey in my hand, the bitter liquid doing little to ease the annoyance simmering within me. I should have been the one leading her here, but her rejection still stung, fuelling my determination to teach her a small lesson that she’ll remember forever.I knew she wanted more of me and I could feel her wolf’s submission but her mind is stopping her. I don’t know what goes on that clever mind, what’s stopping her and what was the need to propose this arrangement.I was lost in my thoughts when the chatter of my pack’s member rose and I looked around to check what caught their attention.To my surprise, it was my mate who didn't take too long to make an appearance. She glided through the gathering with an unassuming grace, her presence
FEDORA’S POVRunning through the dense forest, my heart pounded with a mix of frustration and numerous doubts. Lorcan, now my husband and fated mates, seemed incapable of truly understanding me, and it left me feeling irritable and uncertain. Why did he behaved like that in front of everyone.I made it pretty clear that we’ll respect each other’s boundaries.And he behaved as if he own me.Was marrying him the right decision? Could I endure being with such an arrogant asshole for three years, or even three months?Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly found myself caught by Lorcan's wolf, Oscar. As Oscar's gentle eyes met mine, a sense of ease washed over me. Why can’t he be like his wolf? Gentle, understanding and supportive.Suddenly Lorcan's mark, the symbol of our bond that adorned my skin glowed under the moonlight, Oscar's presence became even more enchanting. I couldn't help but giggle as Oscar playfully licked at my hand, which seemed to only fueled Lorcan's jealousy, I could sense
THIRD PERSON POVFedora's curiosity danced in her eyes, eager to explore the depths of the Lorcan’s world and his new pack. However, the allure of intriguing encounters would have to wait, as there were other prominent figures they had to greet first. With practiced grace, Fedora adorned a mask of feigned smiles, growing increasingly weary of being introduced merely as Lorcan's trophy wife.Lorcan only bothered to introduces her when someone asked, else he didn’t even care if she was standing beside him or not.Fedora didn’t like that, she has seen her father appreciating the presence of her mother at each and every step. She grew up in a loving family, her father didn’t say it out loud but he used to express himself through his actions. But Lorcan didn’t even look at her when everyone came to greet them but mostly him.Yet, amidst the sea of familiar faces, a woman emerged, captivating her attention.The woman introduced herself as Sylvia, Luna of the Ebony Pack and chief of the Luna
FEDORA’S POVThe pack hospital stood as a beacon of healing and solace, a place where the wounded and the ailing sought refuge. I knew that within its walls lay a wealth of knowledge and secrets waiting to be discovered. With resolute determination, I pushed open the doors, my heart pounding in anticipation.Standing in front of the central hospital, I smiled happily. This was the most prestigious hospital in the werewolf world, nestled within the Gray Pride pack. I caught a glimpse of it yesterday during our wedding car parade, and the sight filled me with awe. Ever since I made the decision to become a pack healer, I had dreamt of visiting this renowned institution. But I had to stop because my father needed me more at the field than at the hospital.Determined not to draw attention to my Luna status, I chose to dress down, blending into the crowd effortlessly. Only a select few important pack members could easily recognize my face now. I was new in this pack so I doubt that they’ll
THIRD PERSON’S POVAs I prepared to leave, her non reasonable frustration got the better of her, and she resorted to a cunning plan to frame Fedora, hoping to tarnish her reputation.Using her knowledge of the hospital's workings, Melantha manipulated circumstances to make it appear as though Fedora was causing trouble. She carefully orchestrated sequence of events, creating a false narrative that painted Fedora as a troublemaker. Melantha knew that as Lorcan’s foster sister, her word held weight, and others would be quick to believe her.She made it look like Fedora was snooping around and was causing trouble for patients. She bribed few nurses to agree with her.Very soon a small crowd gathered around them where people starting hurling nasty words at Fedora for being insensitive and creating trouble for no reason at all.Fedora had no one with her to protect her, she had no one standing in her corner to support her and she didn’t had any proof to show that she was innocent.But that
FEDORA’S POVI stepped through the front door, feeling the weight of the day's events settle on my shoulders. It had been a long and exhausting day but I still enjoyed every part of it, but right now all I wanted was a moment of peace. However, as I entered the dining room, I could immediately sense the gloominess radiating from Lorcan, my new partner in both life and work.He was sitting at the table, his eyes fixed on his half-eaten dinner. Without even a greeting, he questioned me, his voice tinged with annoyance and a hint of something else. "Do you have anything to report, Fedora?"I couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration at his tone. We were partners, equals, and yet he often treated me as his subordinate. I took a deep breath, reminding myself that keeping a level head was crucial. "Hello to you too Lorcan, you didn’t ask so I am not going to tell you but since we are together now as your wife, I would like to ask how was your day? I hope all went well after that fortuna
THIRD PERSON’S POVFedora's heart raced, torn between the intensity of her feelings, the promise they made before their wedding and the weight of her responsibilities.What has gotten into him?Is he even serious?She should be annoyed at his unreasonable request, but somehow she found his invitation seductive, especially as his lips drew closer to hers. The anticipation hung thick in the air, and her mind wrestled with conflicting emotions.As he inched closer, she murmured, “when the first time we met, you promised me that you will never force me.”Lorcan, however, calmly stated, “I have no intention of forcing you, and I am only asking for a kiss to seal this deal. I know that you want to work in hospital while using your name and I am just asking you to pay the price for it. Consider it a proposal, a normal intimacy between us as husband and wife.”When she didn’t reply he reminded her, “ I know that we have given each other three months, but ultimately, we would need to learn and
