A few hours seemed like a long time. The time for the wedding had finally come. Logan looked at himself in the mirror. An amazing red cape adorned his body and made him seem like a king. Still, his face showed no happiness at all.
'Smile, you should at least show that we can face anything,' Zeger said encouragingly. 'I'm more interested in burning this outfit,' Logan replied, turning away from the mirror and walking out of the dressing room to the room where the servants were waiting for him. 'We can't do anything. The wise man said if we can't change things, we can enjoy them,' Zeger said, trying to cheer Logan up. 'It's not you that everyone shames, it's not you that's naked in public. Easy for you to say,' Logan complained. 'Hey, you forgot, I never wear clothes. You'll get used to it, take it easy.' Logan sighed at Zeger's words, which didn't make him feel better, only worse. 'I wish I was a full wolf right now. Damn!' Logan cursed. Zeger remained silent, knowing that Logan would curse him if he spoke again. It was a good thing he was in a safe place out of Logan's reach, otherwise he might have been exterminated long ago. "Are you ready, Master Logan?" A male servant approached Logan respectfully. He walked slowly and carefully, knowing that Logan was an Alpha who hated Myrene. The news that spread around the palace about the man was not pleasant and he certainly did not want to become a victim of Logan's hatred. "What else do I have to wear?" asked Logan curtly. The young servant smiled cautiously and looked down. "If you're ready, you can sit down for a moment while I make you some tea, master." Logan frowned. He was already getting ready for the party and wanted it to be over soon. Why should he have tea? He didn't need a drink right now. "I'd like to leave right now," Logan said impatiently. The waitress explained patiently. "Soon the other masters will come to congratulate you before the ceremony begins. And Her Majesty, the Queen, will present you with some gifts." Logan snorted rudely. That was a lot of events. "Whatever it is, hurry up. I'm really tired," Logan retorted, walking over to the couch and sitting there lazily. He just hoped that this series of unimportant events would end soon. The other masters? That meant Myrene's men. Logan was a bit curious about them. Because he had heard that they were Alphas. How could they survive under the rule of this evil woman? The maid came in with a tray of cookies and tea. "This is Her Majesty's request for giving you cookies, since it looks like you haven't eaten anything today." Logan just sighed lazily. But he was getting hungry. It was just that he liked cake too much. The servant stood aside and watched Logan carefully eat his food. He secretly smiled at the reluctant but resigned look on the man's face. When Logan had finished all the cookies on the table, Hunter opened the door. Logan cleared his throat and greeted Myrene's bodyguard. He started to get up, but Hunter gestured respectfully for him to remain seated. "Please sit down, master. I come bearing gifts from Her Majesty the Queen." Hunter then motioned for the servants behind him to enter. Logan watched as a line of servants entered the room carrying many ornate, gold-engraved wooden boxes of various sizes. They lined up neatly behind Hunter. One by one they stepped forward and opened the boxes at Hunter's command. The first box contained gold ingots. Logan wasn't interested. What was the gold for? He didn't say anything. Not even a thank you, because he didn't want anything. The boxes were neatly arranged on the table. Clothes, robes, silver coins, swords and badges for the palace horse. When he saw the badge for the horse, Logan laughed. He could outrun a horse. What was a horse for? Was it a joke? But when he saw Hunter's expression, Logan realized that it wasn't a joke. Seriously? "A last and special gift from Queen Myrene," Hunter said and asked another servant to enter the room. In his hand was a beautiful white cat. Logan frowned again. What was that again? A cat? The long-furred white cat looked very cute. His eyes were bright blue. Around his neck was a collar with his name written on it. Lyon. Logan looked at the collar and grinned in amusement. "What's this cat for? Are you serious?" Logan scoffed. Hunter took the cat out of the servant's hand and held it. "Master, you must not insult the queen's gift. This cat is Queen Myrene's favorite. She gave it to you as a token of her love." Logan wasn't interested at all, even though Hunter said it was a token of Myrene's love. The woman didn't understand love, so why give a token of love? Besides a cat? He didn't need such an annoying creature. "I can read your mind. Don't talk nonsense about me," the cat said, surprising Logan. "You can talk?" Logan asked incredulously. Or was he the one who could understand cat language? Ah, no way. "I'm not just any cat. I'm a special cat. I speak human," the cat replied arrogantly. His eyes looked even more disinterested than Logan's. Zeger snarled inside Logan's body. His wild mind raged to tear the cat apart. Logan tried not to lose control or Zeger would make trouble. 'If you come out now, you'll have to replace me at the wedding,' Logan threatened. Zeger snarled in annoyance. But really, he realized he shouldn't be making trouble right now. It was just that the cute cat irritated him. "Your wolf is really cute. I like him," said Lyon, the cat. His words annoyed Zeger even more. Logan snorted. This cat was like Myrene, really annoying. "Can you give him back? I don't need him," Logan said. Logan's words made Lyon's eyes widen. Because no one had ever refused him before. Everyone wanted him. And Logan was saying that he didn't need him. How could he... "You are truly ungrateful! How can you look down on a majestic cat like me?" Lyon snapped so elegantly. "A majestic cat? You're like a jungle cat, what's so great about that?" Logan retorted. Zeger nodded in agreement. Lyon was even more annoyed. "You think I'm willing to make you a slave? I'll have to accept you too!" "W-what?" Logan couldn't believe the cat had just said he was a slave. Hunter cleared his throat before a war broke out between the wolf and the cat. "Lyon, he is your master from now on. Be good. If Queen Myrene hears you making a scene, you know what will happen to Trixie." Lyon fell silent as soon as he heard Hunter's words. He looked away and said nothing as Hunter placed her on the table in front of Logan. Logan grinned. So the cat was threatened by Myrene as well. He couldn't believe that even this helpless creature couldn't escape Myrene's power. "Don't think anything of it! I'm not that weak!" Lyon grumbled, offended by Logan's thoughts. Logan wondered how the cat could read his thoughts. But wasn't this cat a freak, a talking cat? He had just discovered that. As Logan thought, the cat suddenly became alert. His fur straightened. His eyes widened to stare at the door.As Logan thought, the cat suddenly became alert. His fur straightened. His eyes widened to stare at the door. His movements became restless. Logan couldn't understand what was happening to the cat.A servant entered the room and told him that the three masters had come to see Logan. Hunter nodded in understanding. Then he looked at Logan and bowed respectfully."I will escort you to the ballroom when your meeting is over," Hunter said.Logan didn't answer, he was lazy but curious to meet Myrene's men.His eyes widened as the three masters entered. They were all young and dashing. Strong looks and well-built bodies. How could they submit to Myrene so easily? Couldn't they rebel together? He was sure that if they joined forces, they could kill Myrene.Logan's other side recognized the Alpha aura emanating from their bodies. Even Zeger silently showed his acceptance. But still, they were enemies. Logan saw them as Myrene's side, a werewolf who had lost his identity."Good night, Alpha Lo
"Kneel, you can show your people how you look after them." Myrene, the Lycan Queen said in a soft voice. But her tone was insulting.Logan, the Alpha of the Nightshade pack, stood with bated breath under the throne of the Lycan kingdom, in front of many people he didn't recognize, who were now looking at him with a mixture of pity and contempt.As an Alpha with high self-esteem and dominance, he could not allow himself to be humiliated like this. Especially by a young woman who relied on power like Myrene.But, Logan knew one thing, he was there because they were lost. He failed to protect his flock. And they were all now being held captive because he failed to lead.Logan looked down. The chained herd behind him caught his attention with a heavy heart. They looked at him expectantly, but it was clear they would not allow him to grovel before the queen.A Lycan soldier shouted, "Kneel!" Logan was intimidated and under enormous pressure.His pride... Logan clenched his fists. He looked
That night, in the study room."You sure you will serve her again, Atlas?" asked Dexter, one of Myrene's consorts, a twenty-seven-year-old man with a mischievous and sly look in his eyes. A sharp look adorned his charming face."Of course! I can spend every night with her." The man who looked cheerful with an ever-expanding smile just nodded happily. He was Atlas, Myrene's only husband who gave himself up to submit to the queen. His twenty-one years of age made him Myrene's youngest husband."If I were Atlas, I would not hesitate to spend time with the queen. Only for Atlas, the queen is nice and normal." A grim-looking twenty-three-year-old said. He was Levastan. His handsome looks were masked by his silent and gloomy demeanor. There weren't many people who could talk to him.Dexter grinned and nodded approvingly. Myrene appeared to intentionally cause them trouble.The three of them were husbands Myrene married and recognized in the kingdom. Other than them, several men had been capt
Myrene entered Logan's chamber.A spacious and magnificent room with bright shades. The facilities were identical to those of her previous husbands, as the Queen showed no favoritism.“Close the door!” Myrene ordered her bodyguard.Upon closing the door, Myrene was pleased to see Logan groaning in the corner of the room, his gaze sharp and full of anger. If he could have, he would have cursed Myrene the moment she entered the room. Regrettably, he was unable to do so as his mouth was tightly covered with cloth.Logan tugged at the chains binding his hands to the wall, but they held firm. Despite his efforts, the iron shackles proved unbreakable.Myrene approached him and asked softly, “How are you?” She noticed Logan's struggle to break free. Logan's half-kneeling position made it even more difficult, causing him to growl in annoyance.Myrene surveyed the mess around her, feeling as if she was on a broken ship."Don't blame me if I have to tie you up like this," she warned Logan, who w
Logan backed off. "I can do it myself!""Okay. Let me see. I don't like dirty dogs on my bed with me," Myrene said.Logan gave her an offended look, but she was already walking towards a room he believed to be the bathroom. Myrene stood in the doorway and motioned for him to enter.Logan walked past the woman, visibly irritated. He stood for a moment, stunned by the size of the bathroom in front of him. The decorations and carvings seemed out of place in a bathroom. Did they intend to spend all day gazing at that beauty?Logan was caught off guard when he felt a squeeze on his buttocks. He immediately glared at Myrene. She was deliberately bothering him, while the woman just smiled innocently. 'She is really evil,' Zeger said.There was no doubt about it. 'I know.' Logan replied, irritated.He tried not to think about Myrene's presence in the bathroom and watching him shower. He also had to restrain himself from venting his annoyance at the woman's orders. "Shave your balls." One of
Logan wanted to ask more questions, but he decided not to. Despite his anger, he refused to give Myrene the impression that she completely controlled him. There was no way he would allow her to feel that.Logan would rather starve to death than accept Myrene's offer. Especially since he couldn't watch people die so horribly in front of his eyes. He wondered how she could ignore this creature's suffering.All that was left of the human were bones and some parts that looked very disgusting even to him, who was used to eating raw meat."You won't get anything until dinner. So eat up," Myrene still warned kindly.Logan didn't move or look at her. He didn't want to eat at all right now. Instead of being hungry, he felt nauseated.A little smile spread across Myrene's face when she saw the man's reaction. She finished her breakfast, feeling that being nice to Logan was pointless. She told the servants to clear the table. It was impossible to ignore the splash of fresh blood. The servants cl
"You can wear these clothes for now. Later I will bring you other clothes for the ceremony," Hunter said, handing Logan a pair of comfortable clothes.Logan took the clothes and put them on right in front of Hunter."What about my people?" Logan asked, looking at the young man in front of him.Hunter looked very dashing, befitting his title as Myrene's personal bodyguard. Logan was sure that the man was not much older than himself. In comparison to the Alpha of the werewolf tribe, his body was no less muscular.The hunter smiled friendly. Things were different than Logan had expected. Compared to Myrene, the man seemed very different."Your people are safe. Don't worry. After the ceremony, they will be released and we will provide them with large land. And we will make sure they live happily here as part of the Lycan kingdom," Hunter replied.Logan looked resigned and unhappy to hear that. But he knew it was better than letting them lose their lives in vain."Now, I will tell you what
Feruhan could do nothing if Myrene insisted. Whatever his views on the matter would be meaningless since the final decision was in the queen's hands. But he was really worried about the future of the Lycan nation if it came to war. "Capture all humans in the border area. And do not allow any humans to enter vampire territory!" Myrene ordered. The peace treaty was valid, but if one of them entered the border area of the other nation, they should be prepared to become food. This was often used by vampires to obtain human blood. They would lure humans close before eating them. Myrene knew what she was doing. She would completely cut off the vampires' supply of delicious food. Now the nearby areas directly bordering the vampires were under her control, so she could do whatever she wanted. Feruhan nodded. "As you wish, Your Majesty."After that, Myrene discussed many things related to the effects of the war that had just happened and how long it would take to recover since they needed
