“It was you,” the woman who joined us said. Her eyes were white and unfocused. She moved with a guide yet when her unseeing eyes settled in my direction, it felt as if she could see deep into my soul. “Your- Your Holiness.” Jennifer was the one who got her wits about her first. “It is a pleasure to meet you. I am…” Though her words were polite, the expression on her face was not. “Jennifer Slater, you can be on your way.” The oracle spoke with her twittery voice that resonated with power. “Take your little friends with you.” “Your Holiness…” Jennifer started to protest but the oracle whose unfocused eyes had been in my direction, turned to her. “Yes, yes! We will be on our way!” She grabbed the hand of the friend closest to her and they rushed out of the garden. The oracle turned to me. I patted my chest from how frightened I had gotten. There was no reason to be frightened. In the kingdom, the oracle barely had any power. Oracles were called friends of the goddess and her s

I was not the only one surprised by Alpha Koa’s declaration. The Luna Queen’s lips curled up in a way that showed utmost disdain but Koa’s expression remained the same – with a languid, almost mocking smile. “It is your first time attending the hunt so you may be unaware of the rules.” It was obvious that she took great care to restrain herself as she spoke. “The beauty of this contest is that at the end, a Lady of the Hunt is selected. With this much kill, you may just be the winner of the hunt. You cannot keep the glory all for yourself.” “Ah, yes, I have not been able to attend any Hunts. Being the April Prince comes with a lot of responsibilities so I had no time to participate in social activities,” he murmured. “As my mother, you understand my situation quite well but still, I will keep my glory and honour for myself.” “You…” The Luna Queen caught herself before she cursed at him but I could not help myself. I cursed at him under my breath. This was not what we agreed on

KOA’S POV“You have hunted enough meat for us to feast on for months and you even got the flower crown you wanted so why are you still unsatisfied?” Faris, a beta who was terrible at his job of supporting his alpha, asked me. “Did you see her face?” I asked him. “Who?” He frowned. “Persephone Adelard.” I went through all that trouble to make sure Cassius Raven did not get the chance to impress her with a stupid flower crown. I was going to put a damper on the mood between them. She said it herself, she told me she did not care to be the Lady of the Hunt so I did what I had to do to make sure Raven did not get a chance to impress her. Then why did things turn out like this? Why did things turn out well for him and what was Randal planning with his parents? Why did that kid have to exist to annoy me? “Do you mean when you asked to be crowned the Lady of the Hunt?” Faris asked. “Well, I wasn’t looking at her but she did seem surprised when Cassius announced their mating. I w

I was thrown into a panic. Not knowing what to do, I could not think straight. What did he mean by a mating ceremony in a month? How was I to manoeuvre that? All I had stayed by his side to do was facilitate his downfall, not to mate with him. It would be easy to call off an engagement ceremony but a mating – once that bastard put his mark on me, there would be no going back. “Congratulations, Miss! I knew the Alpha would not make you wait long!” Dora and Hannah were by my side with large smiles taking up a good portion of their faces.“Miss, you need to see the awful look on April’s face. She has suddenly fallen ill. I love it!” Dora fist-bumped the air. “The Ceremony is going to be grand and glorious! An event that will impress even the Luna Queen!” Hannah’s eyes sparkled. “Oh, I can’t wait. It will be the talk of the kingdom for years. All those who have been running their mouths will finally shut up!” “I want to rest. You guys should leave,” I said to the girls who were pla

“If she’s bleeding then call a doctor. Why are you looking for me?” Cassius barked at the girls. “What can I do for a bleeding woman? Get out of my sight!” He was red in the face, having lost all his composure even before they brought their drama. “We – uh – she says – um –“ The girls did not know what to say and their eyes naturally fell on me. Since I was curious, I played the role of the kind and benevolent Luna. “Why is she bleeding? Where is she now? Take me to her,” I said to the girls whose eyes were pleading with me. “Where are you going?” Cassius caught my bicep as I made to walk past him. “We are having a conversation. Are you a doctor to attend to her yourself!?” His face twisted up absurdly. “It has nothing to do with you so let her be!” “Cassius, even if you do not feel anything hearing your mate is injured, I am to be the Luna of this pack.” I took a deep breath before I continued, showing I had run out of patience. “It would be strange for me to ignore a pack
A Scorned Luna's Revenge Chapter 47
CASSIUS’ POV April Arlington. What a bitch. I had thought I could find a use for her but she was not only useless, she was also a hindrance. I handled her with lenience since she was my mate and I naturally had a soft spot for her, but that spot was hardening. I could not let one silly omega ruin everything I had worked hard to achieve. ‘She is carrying my pup in her womb,’ my wolf growled. ‘You better think things through.’ My pup? That gave me more reason to end things with her. A pup with an omega? No, no way. Not when there was a woman with a strong bloodline beside me. I could not risk a litter of omegas when I had a woman who would give me alphas. ‘Cassius, this is our pup we’re talking about. Our blood!’ My wolf shouted. ‘If there really is a child in her belly, I will kill it,’ I vowed to my wolf. My words stunned him into silence so I continued. ‘You brought this on yourself. I told you never to touch her but you went against my words. This is your punishment.’

Cassius was up to something. For the past week, he went out frequently without telling anyone and he had dark circles around his eyes the few times I saw him. As his supposed Luna, his sudden unannounced outings meant I had to fill in for him.“The Alpha is not here today?” Elder Mark asked.I was now sitting at the head of a meeting that Cassius had called but did not attend as he was out today again. Sylvia informed me when the Elders gathered with no head so I happily waltzed in. “I apologize but the Alpha had more important things to attend to.” “More important things?” One of them growled. “I spent three hours on the road just to get here. What could be more important than meeting his elders?” “It’s okay,” Elder Mark rushed to appease. “Alpha Cassius has elevated Blood Crescent beyond my wildest dreams. He must be working a lot to get us to even greater heights.” Elder Mark was easily bought and thus not very influential so I paid him no mind. These men were the pillar

“Are you okay, Perse?” Sylvia said as she helped me get ready for bed. My hands shook uncontrollably and I could barely focus on what was happening around me. All that filled my mind were thoughts of Cassius and why he was actively looking for an assassin. Things had changed so did that mean this time he would try to get me away from him by using an assassin? Was he planning to assassinate me and my father? Why did he need an assassin? “Perse.” Sylvia’s cold hand touched my shoulder and I jumped in surprise, whirling around to glare at her. “Miss - what’s the matter? I don’t like how you look. What’s troubling you?” There was no way I could tell her so I just shook my head. If Cassius was planning to assassinate me, then I needed help. Who would help me? My first thought was my father but I had vowed to keep him out of my troubles. My next thought was Koa. Yes, Alpha Koa. He was to be my shield in this mess. I had to contact him for help but most of all, I had to leave this pla

The day had come. The day I had been looking forward to since I admitted my feelings for Koa. The day of my Mating Ceremony. My friends were gathered around me and we talked and laughed, gossiping amongst ourselves before the start of the ceremony.“Here.” Luna Evenly handed me a box. “I was going to give this to my daughter but I ended up with a useless son. Since I am on the verge of death, I would like to see it on display once before I die.”“Are you giving this to me?” I asked as I looked at the sparkling diamond necklace that had been finely polished and screamed of opulence.Its design was old, the intricate patterns on it something that the jewellers in our time would find difficult to recreate.“Why are you giving this to me? Your son has a mate.” I felt uncomfortable receiving something so precious.“His mate is not much better than he is,” she answered with a derisive scoff. “It is customary to receive things like this on the day of your mating. You have no mother to hand ov

You cannot run away from what is coming to you. Especially if Koa Deimos is the person delivering your retribution.I felt a shiver run down my spine as I watched his cruel smile while the enforcers in the hall sprung into action. The Luna Queen had her hands behind her in a matter of seconds while her mate swayed on his feet trying to stop the enforcers from dragging her away.“Leave her be!” He was shouting but the only bit of respect he could command had been stripped away from him now that he was no longer the Alpha King. He was merely a middle-aged man standing in the way of justice and it must have been the last bit of respect the enforcers had for him that stopped them from shoving him out of the way when he tried to obstruct their work.“Koa Deimos, how could you?” The past Alpha King was shouting.Everyone in the hall witnessed the fall of the haughty Luna Queen who made life hell for many.**After the official ceremony, there was a procession. Dazzling white horses pulled an

Rumours were a wonderful thing. They could create a monster that did not exist. I learnt this and used it to my advantage. Thanks to Hannah, Sylvia, Sonia and Hannah’s boy – friend who is a boy – who I never met, I was able to create monsters when I needed them. I was also able to stir the direction of the public as I liked. Thanks to the amazing people around me, I achieved everything I wanted. If there was one thing I learnt in the past, it was the power of people. Having people in my corner helped me.“As always, you are gorgeous.” Emma Rose took a step back as she admired the fitting of her latest masterpiece. “You make my designs shine, Miss Adelard. I am more than grateful that you made your father bully me into working on your engagement – eh –“ Sylvia gave her a pointed look that made her trail off.“You can mention my last engagement,” I said. “We broke up and he died. There is nothing to keep hushed up. I’m unlikely to feel anything if you suddenly bring it up so there is no

Even though I knew what the outcome would be, I was still pleasantly surprised to hear that Koa was officially the Alpha Prince of Deimos. He finally received the title his father had delayed giving him and I was one step closer to my ultimate goal.From the beginning, I promised to make him king and I promised myself that the people who served him would not die as they did in the past and make him lose all semblance of sanity. Now that he was the crown prince, there was little stopping him from finally ascending the throne as soon as the Alpha King stepped aside or lost his life. The throne could only ever go to him now.Satisfied, I got dressed and set out to see him. During the long journey to the palace, I went over the next steps. Would it be ideal to announce our relationship at his coronation as Alpha Prince? Would it be okay to hold a mating ceremony after? Now that the Luna Queen could not do much to discredit Koa and stop him from getting to the throne, she was much less of

KOA’S POV “We cannot give the Luna Queen time to act,” Persephone was saying.As usual, once I returned, she was back to scheming mode. I missed this woman so much, I was just happy to be in her presence. Since I touched her, I had been cursed to crave her and the months we spent apart, I had almost gone insane from the way I missed her. There was very little to hold onto as I thought of her constantly and wondered if something had happened to her or if she had found someone else. Now that we were together, even if all she was talking about was something else, I was content.She looked less burdened now. Even with the fatigue on her face, she moved with a carelessness that I had never known her to move with. Was it because Cassius Raven was out of the picture? Did he have such a great influence in her life? He must have. He had, after all, killed her in their previous life so she must have lived every day cautious of him. I could not explain how awful I felt coming to this realizati

“Fancy seeing you here, Alpha Cassius.”He was as wretched as I imagined. When I thought of my final retribution against Cassius, he was always like this, chained to the ground with dirty clothes and eyes that begged for mercy. There was not much life in his eyes when he raised his head. It was not the apologetic eyes I had imagined but this one was better. The look of resignation filled me with joy. “Perse,” he called my name with a choked emotion. “I am sorry you have to see me like this.”“Why? I am excited to see you like this. I love seeing you like this.”He was nothing but bones hanging inside clothes that were dirty and smelly. That beautiful face that had all the women falling at his face was gaunt and sickly. It had been months since he was captured, months where he tried to escape multiple times but failed; enough time for him to have suffered mental torture and repented of his sins. When I thought of how I spent seven days locked up by this man, I felt that this punishme

In the banquet hall which the Alpha King had prepared to welcome the warriors, Randal dropped a bombshell that ricocheted throughout the hall. He would not be the first prince to give up his title especially when there were other princes and he wanted to avoid a battle of succession but no one expected him to do this, especially not his mother.“Haha, the prince is tired,” the Luna Queen shouted over him. “Where are the servants? Come and help him settle in.”“Your Majesty, we are still in the middle of the welcoming ceremony,” Randal spoke to his mother with steel in his tone. Really, where did the Randal I knew go to? This one was too cold, too detached to be the same man that left just a couple of months ago. “Please, maintain decorum.”“Boy, you better get your wits about you.” The Luna Queen lost all semblance of falsities. “You were born a prince and you must take your duties seriously. How can you even think of throwing them away?”“I have an obligation to Deimos that is why I

“What do you mean I never wrote to you!?” Things got heated between us in no time. “I wrote to you every week. There were nights when I could not sleep, not because I was physically injured but because of the silence from your end. Even when you were not responding and my wolf was too embarrassed to keep sending letters into a void, I still wrote to you. You are the one who never responded!”“You never wrote to me. Even when you did not write to me, I wrote to you but you never responded. I had to stop when it became clear that you abandoned me!” I shouted at him. “I thought you had found a belle in Black Wolves and could no longer be bothered with me!”There were even days when I feared he had found his mate in the Black Wolves pack and he did not know how to break the news to me. There were also days I thought he had been using me and that he had found no more uses for me. I thought all kinds of things, mourned his death when there was no news of him for a while and celebrated when

“You are all set.” Sylvia took a step back to admire the work she had done on me.I looked into the mirror and the woman in front of me was objectively beautiful but I could not bring myself to care much. I could not bring myself to care about a lot of things. My mind was reeling and although the kingdom was jubilating, I felt hollow inside. The rebel leader of the Black Wolves pack had met his end, the rest were being rounded up as fast as possible. Everyone was celebrating the victories and anticipating when the Alpha King’s troops would return.“You are going to dazzle today as always!” The girls surrounding me who helped put me in this fancy dress beamed at me.The atmosphere everywhere in the kingdom was bright. The mood was refreshing. Everyone laughed at things that did not even deserve to be smiled about like they were compensating for the days we were too scared to laugh.“Right. I think this will sell out soon, also.” Dead inside but alive outside, I was still the biggest mo
