A beautiful woman stared at the presence of Rachel and Nadlyn. The way the woman looked at them showed different expressions, as if she was passing judgement. It was King Alpha Damian's mother, while Damian himself, standing next to his mother, had just been discussing something."This is Rachel's handmaiden, Mother. So Rachel doesn't need a new servant. She is Nadlyn, she is human, but she is used to working with me," said Rachel, hoping she would not be replaced, for if Nadlyn left her side, she could not watch her, she could not teach her a lesson.Mrs King Alpha was silent for a long time, watching Nadlyn and it made Nadlyn a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head. "Alright, no problem. Your choice of servants is also fine. But since you are my son's new Queen Luna, I have to teach you a few things and make you familiar with the rules in the land of Drakela. Damian has also told me that you want a wedding feast. That is fine, but I will not allow it to be held in the palace." T

"Ahhh! No! I didn't say anything!" Nadlyn screamed hysterically as Rachel chastised her by pulling her hair. Then she pushed her to the floor.Rachel laughed softly as she stared at Nadlyn's sorry state. Meanwhile, Damian could do nothing to save his mate. He laughed too, but it felt hollow. Damian knew it was the effect of what his mate was feeling. Damian tried to ignore all this, he looked at Nadlyn straight in the face."I haven't liked you since I found out you were Damian's mate. You know I loved him first. You really have betrayed me, Nadlyn. Alpha Mother wouldn't have known herself, and Damian wouldn't have told Alpha Mother. So this must be your doing. Or perhaps the Elf Prince also knew that we were fakes? You were close to him and you must have told him, right?" Rachel asked as she crouched down in front of Nadlyn, who was crying with a confused look on her face. Rachel grabbed Nadlyn's chin and then decorated her face with thin claws, hurting Nadlyn and looking at her suff

NADLYN"NADLYN!"I turned as I heard Rachel's call. She had just returned from hunting, and I breathed a sigh of relief to be able to leave my room and get back to doing things around the castle. Mostly helping the chefs with the cooking for Rachel's wedding feast with Damian."Yes? Is there anything Nadlyn can do for you, Lady Rachel?" I asked as I bowed my head, everyone in the kitchen looking at us briefly before returning to their respective activities as Rachel gave them a sharp look back."Come with me," Rachel said, lowering her tone this time. Then she pulled me with a grip so strong it made me hiss softly.When we arrived at a quiet place, it was an enclosed room near the fishpond of this palace. Rachel had locked it, and there were also items such as scrap metal and sharp objects used for hunting. I stared around in horror, it was the first time I had entered this place. The room was very dark, especially when Rachel had locked it."Arghhhh!" I fell down as Rachel pushed my

NADLYNThe full moon had arrived, a full eclipse visible through my bedroom window. I could clearly hear the wolves howling. They were releasing their emotions. Before the eclipse Alpha Mother told me that I must not leave this room. I must lock myself in and not let the wolves come in to mark me. I knew that if I hadn't been marked by my mate, I would have to take care of myself so that the other wolves wouldn't mark me. But I never expected Damian to mark me. He doesn't love me. I let out a long breath, then quickly closed the window Damian had used to enter the room.Before I closed it, I was surprised to see a shadow pass by. I almost swore."I wasn't wrong," I murmured as I rubbed my eyes a few times. "Is that the wolf that hunts here?" I muttered to myself, feeling my hair stand on end, I should close this curtain and go to bed. I don't want to get bitten."Wait!"I was shocked, a hand stopping my movement. I thought it was someone else, but when I saw Damian coming, I breathed

AUTHOR'S POV"Thanks for dropping me off, Arthur. I'm so glad I found these important books, I'll read them. If there is a chance to go out, I will definitely see you." Nadlyn said as she looked at Arthur who was about to leave. They were outside the palace. As the party was still going on, the palace was quiet."Yes, come in. I'm going home. Take good care of yourself and remember what I said earlier.""Of course, be careful on the way!"The two parted ways, Nadlyn quickly entering the palace and heading for her room. Accidentally bumping into someone, Nadlyn's eyes widened as she saw the person's face."Oh my, Damian! You startled me! Aren't you supposed to be at the shrine with Lady Rachel?" Nadlyn asked after stroking her chest. Fortunately, the books she was carrying didn't fall over, as Nadlyn had very quick reflexes."I'm not Damian." He spoke with a flat face."Huh?" Nadlyn gaped. How could this man in front of her not be Damian? Was he trying to cheer her up and make her laug
