Chapter 45POV: Leah DarkwoodA loud whooshing of that thin leather material had cut her skin sharply – blood trickled down, covering some of the dried ones. She wasn’t screaming anymore because it wasn’t affecting her – not anymore.Basically, she had experienced worse than that. She was already used to it. She was.Besides, she already had a lot of scars from that particular object – if it wasn’t for the cream that Aeron had given her to erase the evidence from her skin.But now, she might not be getting any cream from him anymore – for she failed to be the Luna Queen.Leah swallowed hard, but her mouth was too dry now.Bitterness started to drip into her system. It was cutting her heart deeper that the whip that her mother had been giving her.The deep wrath reflecting from the King’s eyes was enough for her heart to break apart and make her emotions void.All of her dreams crumbled down in front of her very eyes. Everything that she had been hoping for since her young heart finall
Chapter 46POV: Tamara DavisHer heart was pounding so hard inside her chest – like it was hurting her a bit, but giving her a tickling sensation in return. She was totally nervous, but she was also excited to be with him.Tamara remembered King Hades in her dreams before everything happened. And after her accident on that cliff – some of her young memories visited her dreams.Although, some of it was still unclear whether it was reality or just a pigment of her imagination, she didn’t know. All that was on her mind right now was the man in front of him – walking proudly like he didn’t care about anyone in the place.Tamara mentally let out a deep sigh as she took a glimpse at his road shoulders, then to his muscular broad back. His golden crown didn’t even falter in its place as he walked arrogantly with his head held so high.His aura was a bit lighter at the moment – but no one dared to great him or sort of.Everything that was happening in her life right now was just too fast for
Chapter 47POV: Tamara Davis“What happened? And where is the King?” Her voice was laced with pure worry and suppressed anger.She knew that she wanted to follow them. She knew that she could be a stubborn Luna Queen – for all she cared!But Doc Dreyson had told her that her parents were now out of danger, and that they were awake a while ago. However, because they had fallen asleep once again before she could even talk to them.Now, Arlan went to the pack’s infirmary to talk to her, but the King was not with him – making her inner wolf groaned in frustration.Well, more of her, being annoyed for not fulfilling his own words. She was expecting him to go back to her and tell her what had happened, yet his second in command was in front of her instead.“I am so sorry, Your Grace, but the King needed to go to the palace because the Were Elders’ Council asked for a meeting.” Arlan seriously stated as he slightly bowed his head.Tamara mentally groaned in frustration, but her left brow twi
Chapter 48POV: Tamara Davis“The King would be here later, Your Grace.” Arlan politely informed her as he went towards the pack’s infirmary after the meeting that he attended with the King and the Were Elders’ Council members.Her left brow automatically shot upwards – giving aura her serious and intimidating expression.“And what was the meeting all about?” She inquisitively asked.Arlan swallowed hard as he hesitatingly stared at her.Tamara let out a deep sigh. She knew that she was giving Arlan now a hard time, but she was annoyed, and it was creeping into her system – which she couldn’t control, and she didn’t know the reason why.“Come on, Arlan, I wouldn’t do a thing, I promise.” She carefully added in a calmer demeanor this time – causing the King’s second in command sighed in defeat.“The members wanted to move the wedding and coronation on the might of the Full Moon.” He prudently stated.Tamara almost groaned in frustration as she rolled her eyes at that particular news.“
Chapter 49 POV: Tamara Vikesh The silence filled up the cold breeze – as the owls kept on hooting in every tree. The fireflies were everywhere, giving further light to the forest – where she needed to go. The moment Tamara stepped out of the Lunar Pack Mansion – the hunters growled a long and loud sound, as if giving her the respect and alerting their master of her presence. She slowly walked down the stairs – still fascinated by what was about to happen to her. “Are you ready?” Her father, Lorenzo, seriously asked – although she knew that he was as emotional as hers – the moment she had stepped foot at the last pace of the stair and hugged him tight. He was wearing a midnight blue tuxedo and his dark brown hair was gelled backwards. He looked so intimidating – like the very first time she had seen him. She just nodded her head as she broke the embrace. She didn’t want to talk for she knew that her tears were already taunting her eyes – preparing itself to be free from her eyes’
Chapter 50 POV: Queen Tamara Vikesh-Pierce “Hail for the King and Queen!” Arlan dynamically cheered as everyone followed his chant. Tamara felt the contentment as they faced their visitors – with every smile pasted on their faces. She smiled at each and every one of them. Nothing could ever beat a genuine smile from people who are true and honestly happy for her and the king. King Hades held his hand into mid-air – stopping their cheers and asking for a short silence – while his other hand was holding her waist. Her cheeks burned for she felt like she was so little being caged inside his arms. She still couldn’t deny the fact that it felt surreal to her. It felt like a sweet dream which she never wanted to wake up. Despite the struggles, the pain, and the grief – she felt like this was worthwhile. For tonight, they were already married – for real! “Thank you for coming here and fulfill my Queen’s request.” King Hades’ voice reverberated around the place – causing her to focus o
Chapter 51 POV: Lamina Darkwood “What the hell did you say?!” Her voice was strangely low, but the fury it held couldn’t be hidden. “I am sorry, but it was announced late. The King was the only one who knew all about it, and he said it all and done in an instant. No one could ever contact anyone. So, I can’t send you a message.” A low manly voice replied from the darker part of the hallway – where a black curtain was hanging. The man couldn’t be distinguished from the darkness – only his black trousers and its shiny black shoes. But Lamina knew who it was. The man that she asked for her to be her spy. But up until now, he was always late in telling her details. And that made her more furious! “You are such an incompetent fool! You always do this to me. I asked you to be one of the king’s loyal men yet, I can’t gather decent information from you.” She annoyingly stated – in between her gritting teeth. “I asked you to know what it was about the competition, but you didn’t even kno
Chapter 52POV: Aeron Darkwood“What the heck happened a while ago, Leah?” He annoyingly inquired his sister, as he followed her into her room.Their parents were so furious at what happened in the palace a while ago, and now, they were in the study room with Elder Courdamus. He followed Leah to talk to her about what she did with Tamara.He knew that something had happened because Tamara seemed to be friendly – with all her smiles and all, but her eyes were too intimidating, wicked, and merciless a while ago.“Aeron, I’m exhausted. Can you just leave me alone?” She weakly stated as she sat on her bed.But he didn’t want to leave her alone. He might have been a weak brother to her, but he truly cared for her. She was his sister. And besides, he wanted to know. He wanted to know what Tamara would tell her.“Just tell me. I know that this is hard for you-”“Okay, then. You really wanna know? I am crashed, Aeron! I am such a loser!” Leah suddenly blurted out as her eyes blurred with tear
