“What did you just say?” Asteria stood up in shock when the news of the fate of her loyal servant reached her. “His Majesty ordered to imprison your servant with no water and food for four days, Your Majesty,” a knight told her while kneeling. Asteria did not waste any time and immediately took her robe and wore it. She needed to see the condition of Leilana. **** The underground prison was dark and quiet. The floor was partially wet from the ground above it. Asteria thought it was no place for someone like Leilana. She walked through the dark and quiet hallway of the underground prison with a knight leading the way for her. “We are here, Your Majesty,” the knight told her when they reached a small prison cell. “Leilana,” Asteria called out her servant’s name. “Y — your Majesty?” a voice emerged inside the cell. When Asteria’s eyes adjusted to the dark, she saw Leilana lying on the ground. “Yes. It’s me.” The servant looked up and cried upon seeing her. “My Queen, I didn’

“Try to get to the good side of the king!” Chief Minister Eliphas shouted at Asteria in front of a big mirror. That was the day of the royal ball. The king organized the gathering with the help of Minister Castemont to welcome him and the returning knights from the expedition. Asteria sighed heavily upon hearing the words of her father. “The king doesn’t love me. What is hard to understand with that?” she asked, wondering if her father even understood the situation. “You are the most beautiful woman in Grellis! Anyone could fall in love with you if you wish!” her father growled. His words were heard even outside her chamber. “I wish I could take that as a compliment, but you don’t even treat me as a daughter,” Asteria looked at the eye of her father, who was gazing at her through the mirror. He was standing behind her. Chief Minister Eliphas glared at her. “Do everything you can! The king would undoubted

(Flashback) Three years ago In the kingdom of Grellis, there were three realms- The Great Palace, the noble's region, and the commoner's district. Keane was a famous knight among nobles. Aside from his lineage, he has an outstanding talent and looks. He's the adoration of many noblewomen To escape the eyes of the nobles, Keane and his pal, Darrius, decided to go to the commoner's district to enjoy drinking at the pub willingly. They can freely roam as long as they hide being knights because the commoners weren't familiar with political and royal figures in the Palace. One day, they were drinking at the commoner's pub when a group of violent knights wreaked havoc there. They didn't want to pay their bill. "Are you asking us to pay? Do you dare disrespect us, the knights?" One of the kn

The people patiently waited on the palace grounds despite the dark clouds covering the sky. The rain was not far away, but none of them didn’t want to miss the chance of seeing the king for the first time again after two long years of his absence. Asteria was standing at the top of the stairs with the chief minister and the rest of the council. “His royal majesty, the king, has arrived,” the messenger shouted at the top of his lungs. There was enthusiasm in his voice. The people screamed with excitement as the guards opened the enormous gate. A group of horsemen entered the palace grounds. When the people perceived the king among the horse riders, their cheers became stronger. The king dismounted from his horse, waving to the crowd. When Asteria saw his face again, her heart started to beat faster. She held her chest because she felt like her heart was about to burst. The king looked in her direction, and

It had been almost two years since the king departed from the kingdom to complete an expedition with his men. Asteria became the royal symbol for the citizens while the king was absent. She was always organizing gatherings to acknowledge the people’s concerns. While the aristocrats weren’t happy about her being the Queen, the commoners didn’t share the sentiments. They were thrilled that Asteria became Queen. “We couldn’t thank you enough, your majesty. Our children, despite being commoners, can also become scholars who could attend the academy because of your perseverance as the queen,” an older man told Asteria. A gathering of commoners was happening in the auditorium of the palace at that time. They were sincerely showing their gratitude to the queen. “It’s only natural to give chances to people to follow their dreams, regardless of their status or rank,” Asteria answered. For the past two years, Aste

Esmere POV: It was still raining that night when I woke up. My whole body hurt as I stood up from where I lay down. “Are you all right?” An older man with white hair and a beard asked me as he sat before a small bonfire. We were in a provisional tent that was poorly made. “W-who are you?” I asked as my entirety shivered. “I am an eastern wolf wandering around the continent. Who are you? And why are those northern werewolves adamant about killing you?” Hearing what he had just said, I automatically held my stomach and felt a sharp pain in there. “M- my child,” I murmured with widened gazes. The older man looked at me with a pitiful countenance. “Sorry, but you were badly injured when I came to you that I thought you were already dead. I could not do anything to save the child inside you.” As soon as I heard him say that, my whole world fell. “No. You are lyin

Chapter 22 Esmere POV My eyes widened, and my mouth almost fell upon seeing the situation in the western mountain. The western castle was burning, and the western werewolves’ burned corpses were lying on the ground. “We have been attacked!” One werewolf with me screamed at the top of his lungs. And out of everything that happened there, two enormous wooden crosses particularly caught my attention. There were two individuals pinned in each of them. My chest pounded as I gradually walked toward them, and I screamed in horror upon recognizing their faces. “Mother! Father!” They were lifeless. Silver daggers were pierced into their hearts and their throats. I instantly fell to the ground because of the shock I felt. “W- what’s happening?” I stuttered as my whole body trembled excessively. “Madam! We

Esmere POV A week passed, and the group of werewolves that the western pack had sent to fetch me from the northern castle arrived. Six western werewolves had come to get me, including Ophelia. She was so overjoyed upon seeing me getting out of the castle. “Madam!” she enthusiastically yelled as she hugged me tightly. “I missed you so much!” I wore an oversized robe at that time. “I missed you, too,” I said while smiling. “It’s never the same without you here.” “Sorry, Madam. I left you alone,” she answered apologetically. “It’s not your fault,” I replied. I wanted to tell her the truth about how Elisa manipulated her to go savage, but I thought it was not the right time to spill it out. The maids were at the entrance, watching me departing from the northern castle. Aamon was not there at that time. He left ear

Esmere POV "I am planning to remove my mark from Esmere!" I clutched my chest so tightly as soon as I heard those words from Aamon. I leaned on the wall so I wouldn't fall because of the shock I felt at that moment. "But removing the mark from her could cost her life. Are you ready to face the consequences?" One of the influential elder werewolves asked him. "Yes," Aamon answered without even hesitating. "Let's be honest here. This is also what you want, right?" Everyone in that room fell silent. No one could even answer. "We all think Esmere is not suitable to be the luna if we want to take this pack to a higher and stronger level. So why not just remove the mark from her? You are all thinking that, right?" Aamon spoke again, and there was a hint of anger in his voice. "You also wanted me to mark the rightful one, right?" "But what about the western pack?" Rocco was th

Esmere POV The aloe vera’s scent circulated in the room and greeted me as I woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw an older woman with white hair sitting beside me and massaging my legs. As soon as I felt her touching my wound inflicted by the silver chain, I groaned out of pain. “How are you feeling, Madam?” The older woman asked me when she noticed I woke up. “This is a nasty wound.” “Are you the priest-doctor?” I asked. “Yes, Madam. The alpha has called me to check on you,” she answered. “I heard your health is deteriorating.” I tried to stand but couldn’t since my legs were still shivering. I asked her, “What do you mean my health is deteriorating?” The older woman slightly stroked her forehead as she hesitantly answered, “I heard from the alpha that you are getting weak mentally.” “What?” I exclaimed upon hearing what she had told me. “

Esmere POV Realizing that Aamon would not believe in me, I yelled, “Cecilia! Tell the alpha the things you just told me.” But despite calling for her name, Cecilia didn’t come forward. I looked in the direction where she was standing and said, “Please, Cecilia. I need you to tell them the truth.” The resounding voice of Aamon then filled the room. “What are you waiting for, Cecilia? Come forward!” And that’s when Cecilia proceeded to the room. I stared at her as I clasped my hands in anticipation. I wanted everyone to know that Ophelia was innocent and Elisa was behind everything. “What do you know?” Aamon asked the older maid. “What the hell did you say to the luna?” Cecilia’s shoulder shook as she fidgeted with her fingers. “I- I,” she stuttered. “I have no idea what the luna is talking about.” My heart almost fell out of my chest after h
