My schedule has been so hectic for preparing the wedding. I was busy commanding the handmaidens for the bouquet and all things. The list of tasks seemed endless: finalizing the menu with the caterers, choosing the perfect music playlist, and ensuring every detail of the decoration matched our theme. Amidst all this, I had to find time for dress fittings and makeup trials. "Your bride looks so beautiful, Your Highness," the wedding coordinator remarked, her voice echoing in the opulent fitting room. As I stepped out, Thomas's gaze met mine, a look of sheer admiration etched on his face. His jaw moved, his eyes fixed on mine, and my heart leaped for a second. "Yes, she is," Thomas replied, his voice a mixture of pride and affection. In the background, I heard Beta Caleb's light scoff. "Is this the last gown?" he asked to the sales lady. Her cheeks flushed and nodded at the beta. "We will take it." Thomas declared with a decisive air. He adjusted his tie and rose from the couch, his
"Is it true, Tanya?" I pressed, my voice trembling slightly. My stepsister stood before me, her eyes wide and shimmering with unshed tears."Of course not, Margareth! I swear it isn't true! How could you think that of me? You're not just a stepsister to me, and you know that! You are my sister in every way that matters," she whispered back, her voice cracking under the weight of emotion. A flicker of hope sparked in my eyes, brightening them. "Really?" "O-Of course, Margs. Remember those times we twirled in front of the mirror, laughing until our stomachs hurt? Goddess, how I miss those moments!" Her whisper was a gentle brushstroke of the memory.My eyes watered as I looked at her. "I miss you.""I miss you too, sister. Look at you, all grown up," she said, her gaze sweeping over me.As she neared, her eyes flicked briefly to Thomas, who still held a protective grip on me.She dipped her head respectfully at him. "Lycan King Thomas..." she whispered, her tone imbued with a mixture
Thomas locked me inside a room for the entire day. He claimed it was safer for me to remain there while he dealt with the rogues outside, eliminating them one by one, and attending to our guests.I remained in my wedding gown, sitting on the comfortable cushion in our room, staring out the window. Below, I could witness the fury of the rogue attack.They ruined our wedding."Cina!" I shouted as I saw the head handmaiden entering my room."Where is my husband?! Has he returned?!" I asked immediately, grabbing her shoulders. She heaved a deep sigh and looked at me with concern. "Queen Margareth, please be patient. His Highness Thomas will return once he has settled the dispute with the rogues.""But it's been three hours since he left, Cina! I can't just stay here and do nothing!""Your Highness, he will be alright," she whispered calmly.I found it impossible to remain as calm as she was!"We can't be certain of that! Please, Cina, let me go out and see my husband!"Cina shook her head.
I woke up early in the morning and got up. My heart flutters in excitement because today is a special day. It's my eighteenth birthday and I will be meeting my wolf! I couldn't wait to shift for the first time!Rumors had it that it was painful for them, but I couldn't care less about that part. Probably, it will just be for a second and it gets easier later. A little bit of pain is nothing compared to the physical abuse I get from my foster family. I just wish my parents were here to see me shift for the first time, but they died in a rogue attack a long time ago."Happy birthday, Margareth!" My one and only best friend, Zen, pops out of nowhere in my room and proceeds to give me a birthday cake. I laughed and hugged her tight.She even placed eighteen candles on the cake! What a lovely girl!The corner of my lips formed into a smile as I hugged her. "Thank you, Zen,” I whispered and patted her back. “But you don't have to do this, though," said I while blowing out the candles on m
"What's that scent?" a low growl nearby us was heard. Zen and I were hiding our tiny figures in the garden, but I think we're doomed now. "What do you mean, Thomas?" his beta asked and Thomas shushed him up. The moment I tried to stand up, the Lycan King had already pinned me on the ground."Mate," he hissed and looked at me in the eyes. I was shocked to hear him say that, but I was more shocked by the fact that my mate is royalty. The Lycan King is my mate? No, it can't be! He has royal blood in his veins while I don't have!His fangs were ready to bite me, but I screamed at the top of my lungs to stop him. The smell of lavender musk and the aftershave of my mate enthralled my nose and system. I crave for his touch, his smell, his voice. I want all of him. With all my remaining energy, I pushed his chest and managed to get up. His beta helped me and asked if I was okay. I just nodded at him, my eyes still on the Lycan King in front of me. His eyes glow in red while looking at m
I will make sure my stepfather pays for what he has done for me, together with my mother. They didn’t even look at me when I was dragged away from my house that night. I was screaming and crying for help. “Please… please, please, I don’t want to do this!”“You don’t have a choice, sweetheart,” his beta named Caleb said and smiled at me sweetly. In return, I shook my head violently and tried to get away from his grip, but he just tightened my hold. “Margareth!” I heard a familiar voice of a girl was heard before I got inside Lycan King Thomas’s fancy and shining black car. Beta Caleb halted for a moment and turned his head to my best friend, Zen, who was crying and running towards me. “Z-Zen…” I whispered, shocked because she got here at the right time. Terrified, because she would be in trouble because of me. “What’s happening!” Zen screamed my name, like she was petrified of losing me once she didn’t. I saw fear in her eyes when she looked at someone behind me – Lycan King Thomas
It’s been a week since Thomas proposed to me. Well, calling that a proposal is hilarious. He’s not the type of man who would prepare an extravagant proposal for his future wife, knowing that we are just in a set-up situation. Not that I’m expecting him to have something for me, anyways…“Miss, you barely touch your food. Are you okay?” A young maid asked me. I was having my breakfast alone at this wide and empty table. It’s always like this. I haven’t seen Thomas’s shadows since he gave me the ring, so with Caleb. They are always so busy.“Huh? Y-Yeah, I’m o-okay. Do you think Thomas will come home tonight?”The girl blushed at the mention of my husband’s name. “I d-don’t know, miss. Perhaps you want to call his office?” she suggested. My eyes bulged out and I immediately shook my hands in front of her. “No, no, no worries. I’m good.”“You’re his wife, miss. I think Your Highness Thomas would understand if you needed something from him.”“I don’t need anything. Thank you.”She nodde
Lycan King Thomas needs to convince everyone, even in his own household, that we love each other. He wants the public to know that a King like him is changed. He holds a reputation for being a ruthless leader of the Blue Moon Kingdom before, and now that he has found his mate and is engaged to her, does he think he could fool the public? It depends on our acting.Everyone is watching our move. The maids may seem to be running around doing errands, but they were gaping at us. And so, I do my part. I tiptoed and brushed my lips on Thomas’s right cheek. I felt him stiffened for a second, but he smirked after that.“I m-miss you, too.” I said, a little bit too loud, for others to hear.Thomas’s eyes sharpened, and I have the last laugh inside of my head. He was surprised with my move. In order to not appear it more awkward, I went to the seat and smiled widely.“Thomas? Come and take a seat.”Thomas’s jaw clenched as I said that. He sat next to me. Usually, he sits at the far end of the
