"Mummy! Mummy! Orion is dead!" Luna called out from her room, and I went running there as fast as I could to the nursery from the tea room where I was having a meeting with the First Lady. As I entered the nursery, I saw Luna standing by Orion's crib, tears streaming down her face. My heart sank as I approached and saw that Orion wasn't moving. I placed my hand on his chest and felt no heartbeat."Call an ambulance!" I yelled at Luna, who ran to the phone to make the call.I turned to the Alpha King, who had followed me into the room. His eyes were wide with shock and fear. "We need to get him to the hospital," I said, my voice trembling.The Alpha King nodded and scooped up Orion, cradling him in his arms. I followed him out of the room and into the hallway, where Luna was waiting for us. We rushed down the stairs and out of the palace, the Alpha King running as fast as he could while holding our lifeless son.When we reached the car, the Alpha King placed Orion in the back seat and

"I think Xavier is seeing someone else," I said to Glenn while we were at the spa one afternoon, and she looked at me with a combination of disbelief and sympathy. "Are you sure? How do you know though?" She asked quietly, gently. She was apparently trying to not offend me or be pushy on the subject especially with how delicate it was. "We have not done anything as a couple in three months, Glenn! Three freaking months! And Xavier is a very active wolf. If he is not getting it from me, he is surely getting it from somewhere else." I said, feeling the weight in my chest. "Oh my! I am so sorry about that, my darling. But what do these Alpha kings want exactly? Why are we not enough for them?" Glenn lamented. "Don't say that, Glenn! We are enough. In fact, we are a little more than enough. This has nothing to do with us not being enough, and everything to do with them just being greedy pigs who can't keep it in their pants!" I said, livid. "You are right, Babe. You are actually righ

"I still have feelings for you, Clara. And what hurts the most is the fact that you seem to have moved on so completely from me." Attus said quietly and my heart sank. Especially since there were still lingering doubts in my mind with regards to the Alpha King. We were cool again, but I couldn't kick away the gut feeling that he still might cheat on me again. These lingering pains are the main reasons why I sought out Attus's company more often. He always understood every pain, every issue. He was my backbone and sometimes, I felt like he could even be my soulmate. "I don't know what to say when you look at me like that, Attus. You know that I am married to your brother, and you are married as well. We should not be talking about feelings for each other. It's simply not right." I chided, even though I desperately wanted him to continue talking to me like that. I wanted the cloud of desire in his eyes to continue to bathe me in its incandescent glow. "I am sorry, C! It's just very h

 "I want to take another bride, Clara. And this is not punishment or anything liek that because I completely forgive you for that Attus thingy, but I just want something new with someone fresh." The Alpha King said to me one morning, and I lost my mind.  I was silent for a long time after he had spoken." What do you mean exactly? Another bride? Like, another woman as a wife?" I stuttered in confusion.  The Alpha King sighed, "Yes, Clara. Another woman as a wife. It's not uncommon among our kind, you know that. And I'm not saying I'll love you any less or treat you differently, but I just feel like I need to expand my horizons, you know?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My heart was pounding in my chest as I tried to make sense of his words. "But...but why? Don't you love me anymore?" I asked, my voice trembling. The Alpha King shook his head and took my hands in his. "Cl

When the Alpha King returned to the castle with his new bride, Irene, I put on a brave face and acted unbothered. I made sure to avoid any interactions with her, staying busy with my own tasks and spending time with my friends. Irene seemed sweet enough, with delicate features and a soft-spoken voice, but I couldn't shake the feeling of dislike that I felt towards her. Perhaps it was because she reminded me of Morrigan, the Alpha King's best friend, who had always been a thorn in my side.Despite my best efforts to ignore her, Irene seemed determined to befriend me. She would often seek me out, offering to help me with my tasks or inviting me to tea. At first, I tried to politely decline, but she was persistent, and eventually, I found myself agreeing to spend time with her.Irene was always cheerful and optimistic, and she seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. But every time we spoke, I couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness and resentment towards her. She had ever
