He kissed my hand. He raised our hands, with our fingers intertwined, up to his lips and his cold lips touched the back of my palm. I did not know how to feel or how to describe the heat that started from my arm and spread like fire in a dry forest throughout my body.“Alpha Koa…” I had to say something and I did not know what to say so I started with his name.“Koa,” he cut me off. “You can call me by my name as you did earlier.”“Earlier, I was angry. It is rude…” Again, he did not let me finish.“You want to be stubborn to the end.” He squeezed my hand in his. “Persephone Adelard, have you forgotten who I am?”“Are you going to throw your weight about in this situation?” I pursed my lips.“From now on, I will do what I have to do. Your stubbornness is starting to drive me crazy.” He glared at me. “Despite how long we were apart, you did not, for once, miss my presence so I am afraid I will have to take a much more aggressive approach in wooing you. Look forward to it.”“How can you
A Scorned Luna's Revenge Chapter 75
The day came when we finally opened the Adelard mansion to guests. I stood at the door to welcome my guests and although less than thirty minutes had passed since we opened the doors, the place was slowly getting filled up. “Luna Evelyn, you made it.” I welcomed the old lady who arrived with her son’s mate.“I hope it does not turn out to be a waste of my time,” she said as she walked in without sparing me another glance.“Excuse my mother-in-law,” the other woman said. “She has not been out in a long time and has lost her manners because of that.”Luna Evelyn never had any manners but I nodded and smiled along to the excuse.“Pardon my tardiness.” The woman who accused me of trying to live out my fantasies with Koa through Arya’s book arrived.“Miss Rose, I did not think you would make it.”After a little digging, I found out her father was the Beta of one of the seven founding packs of Deimos.“I had other plans but the entire kingdom is abuzz with news of your event. It would be a

CASSIUS’ POV“The Elders have insisted on seeing you,” My Beta informed me with a stoic expression.“When did you get in here?” I was surprised to see him materialize from thin air.“I have been here for around five minutes. You were not in your right mind when I came in. The Elders are here to see you.”My head throbbed as I pressed a hand against my forehead. An impromptu meeting from the elders always meant trouble and I already had enough on my plate at the moment. These days, everything seemed to blur into one. There was no difference between day and night as I tried to pull myself together and attend to the duties piled high on my shoulders.Persephone was not talking to me and I feared she was not bluffing; she was really done with me. I had to take a decisive step to win her back and make sure she never escaped my grasp but I drew up blank every time I tried to devise a plan.“Send them away. I am not in the mood to deal with their drama,” I said to Theo but then my door opene

RANDAL’S POV“I have laboured and toiled to give you everything you have, but still, still, still...” My mother broke down in tears.It was a sniff, her shoulders shook once and then a second time and she was done sobbing.“Why are you hellbent on going against me? Why can you not see that I am trying to do what is best for you?”“Mother,” I called her slowly. “Thank you for your effort but what do you mean? I am confused.” Despite how my heart raced and my chest closed up watching my mother weep over me, I remembered Koa’s lessons.If I wanted people, especially my mother, to see me as a man rather than a child, then I would have to be a man. It was a confusing idea, but if there was anyone I could trust, it would be my brother. He was the only one my mother was scared of and my mother was the scariest person I knew.“Confused about what? Randal, everything I work hard for, the life I live, everything I do, is all for you and somehow, why is it not good enough for you?” She yelled at

Everything was a blur. After Slater, I had more and more work to do. It was not enough for Cassius to lose, I also had to win big. So far, as expected, Slater had swallowed his business and his pack had become unsatisfied with his leadership. Rumours had it that the elders had asked him to step down.Of course, he would not step down. He would not be Cassius Raven if he let one or two critical situations completely ruin him so he would try. He would try time and time again to rise from his fall but I would be there every step of the way to make sure he no longer had any glory days.“Miss, the Alpha is here again,” Sonia let me know with unease in her tone. “Alpha Rufus is not home today, so – he is causing quite a ruckus. What should we do?”“Let him make a fool of himself. Send him away after that.” I got out of my seat and went to bed to stretch.Every day, Cassius came to see me and every day, I sent him away. Persephone Adelard, the only salvation he knew. Now that he was in troub

“My dearest mother has her sights set on you,” Koa said during the tense carriage ride back home. “Your father is in danger, too.”Again, I was staring death in the face.The Luna Queen had decided to get rid of my father and I. It was not unexpected. I knew that once she got it into her head that my father was not a tool she could use, she would not want him to fall into someone else’s hands and would, thus, try to do something about him.“You will be fine,” Koa tried to assure me but he had not died before and kept memories of his gruesome death so he did not understand how I was feeling.“I will be fine only if I can outsmart her fast enough.” I bit my fingers. “You will not always be there to protect me.”“I will be,” he said. “Do you trust me?” He beat me to the punch. “No, do not say a word but trust me. I will protect you.”“It’s risky for me to entrust my life to someone else. You are, after all, the Alpha Prince of all of Deimos,” I repeated the words I had heard earlier. “I w

KOA’S POV“Alpha Koa, a word.” A hard gaze fixed on me. Alpha Adelard looked on the verge of a shift as if he would rend his clothes at any moment and attack me.“Whatever you have to say to him, I must hear it too,” Persephone stepped forward. “It does, after all, involve me.”“Stop being silly. This has nothing to do with you.” He turned to his daughter with a heated glare. “Go to your room and… ““I must have given the impression of making a request.” She did not back down. “Alpha Koa is my guest. If you have anything to say to him, I must hear it. You two have nothing to talk about that does not involve me.”It was amazing to see two very similar people face off. Despite how different they looked, as they openly challenged each other, they seemed very similar..My little spitfire. She was just like her father.“If you insist.” The face-off ended in her victory.Alpha Adelard turned and gave us no choice but to follow behind him. When we entered the parlour, two omegas came to serv

KOA’S POV“This brings it to seven Alphas that have gone missing,” Faris briefed me. “The Alpha King has asked that you handle the investigation and if you do not find them, the blame will be on you. What do we do? Is it the job of the Alpha Prince to find missing people? That is the job of enforcers!”“It is an arduous task.” I read through the profiles of the Alphas that had gone missing. “These men will never be found.”“What – how – what do you mean?” Faris’ eyes bulged. “Do you have a hand in this?” He exclaimed.It was now that I was the hand in this than anything else. Only seven had disappeared so far. Not enough to throw my mother into a panic but enough for her to notice something was wrong. Did she suspect me? It did not matter since there would never be proof that I was involved.I looked at the sword hanging in my office and wondered what sort of weapon Persephone handed to me. It was demonic, rather than something blessed by the goddess.“My father has asked the impossib

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
