"I was wondering, Baby, do you want to invite your parents over for your wedding?" the Alpha suddenly asked me out of nowhere. I looked at him with a blank look on my face. "I… I didn't know that it was possible to… To invite them."I replied, feeling sweaty in my underarms and very uncomfortable. If they had withdrawn Becky from school because of me, what was to say that they would not destroy me or at least try if I exposed my location to them. "If you are not comfortable inviting them, that's perfectly fine too. Even though you really have not told me how you ended with Ethan, that bloody swine!" The anger on the Alpha King's face deeply confused me. Was he angry on my account or based on his personal vendetta with him. "The Rogue King?" I asked, stupidly swallowing every two seconds. I could not believe my fate. I was still very unsure whether or not to divulge my parents' wickedness to the world. I felt too ashamed by what my parents had done to me, and I felt like it was my fa
"You signed an NDA? To not disclose what? The details of your courtship and marriage to X? Is that not a little too much?" Attus asked with his eyes squinted and trained on me. "Oh well… HeHe is the Alpha King. It is important that certain aspects of his life like yeh details of his love life, don't make it to the eyes and ears of the public. It's damage control from the get go if you ask me. I buy the idea actually." I said not entirely in defense of the Alpha King, but because I actually understood his reason behind the decision. Attus gave me a weird look and then shrugged." Well, if you are the one in it and you are comfortable, who am I to have a problem with it." And he starts walking away again. I followed him speedily. "Stop this, Attus! You are Attus. You are my friend and you are very important to me. What you think, how you think, that you even think, is of utmost importance to me. So please, let us just get past this and make up." I paused to look at him. "Please…" I be
"If the food is actually not poisoned, then there is no harm in tasting the food, Gamma. Right?" The Alpha King said calmly, looking innocently at his Gamma, apparently hoping that she was indeed innocent, and that it was all just a mix up. Gamma looks up at the Alpha King with hurt in her eyes. I know that it is fake, but nobody else does. "Son X," she started by calling him by the pet name she always had for him from his childhood, just to garner his pity. "I have bathed you, fed you, clothed you from birth. You have pissed on me, pooped on me, and even bitten my breasts at some points in your childhood." She sighed dramatically. "With all due respect, I understand that she is to be the Luna by this time tomorrow, but you have known me for way longer. After everything, you would actually believe that I would poison you on your wedding eve after being so excited about your finally getting married?" "Gamma, I trust you with everything in me. Which is exactly why I insist that you
After we settled down and I laid in the Alpha King's arms feeling sated and gently rubbing his phallus, I decided it was time to talk business and let him in on my findings. "I spoke with Gamma. And yes, she added the castor beans to your food, but she was acting gassed on orders from someone else. She claims not to know who this person is, claiming they only spoke on phone. But some maids attest to seeing someone sneak around With Gamma in the kitchen." I said calmly. "Now this is getting bigger than I'd thought, Baby." The Alpha King said, looking at me with worry on his face. "Yes. It seems like a whole big thing now." I agreed. "I talked to my mom. We cancelled the wedding till further notice." I sat up quickly. "You did what?" I screamed. "And you did not think that that was something to have discussed with me first? Dammit! You are getting married to me, not yourself! So why would you not talk to me about something like this? It is super unfair, Xavier!" I stood up from the
The Alpha King was unsure what to do about his mother's involvement in his poisoning. He called a meeting to discuss with his mother, Attus, Attus's mom, Gamma and myself. I sat quietly, watching events unfold as I was unsure what to do or what to say. I had never seen the Alpha King look so broken. "Why, mother? Tell me why please? I just need a reason. A good enough reason to explain exactly what is going on here…" The Alpha King said to his mother sadly. His mother, the former Luna, sat silently with her head bowed. Gamma spoke up, "Son X, I believe your mother was trying to protect you. She thought that by poisoning you, she could prevent the war from happening and keep you safe."The Alpha King looked at Gamma with a puzzled expression. "What war are you talking about?"Gamma hesitated before replying, "The war between our pack and the neighboring pack. It has been brewing for years, and tensions are high. Your mother believed that by poisoning you, she could prevent you from m
As the night drew to a close, the Alpha King approached me, a smile on his face. "Thank you for everything. Without you, I don't know if I could have become the leader that I am today."I smiled back at him, feeling a sense of pride and joy. "You did this all on your own. I just helped you along the way."The Alpha King shook his head, his eyes filled with gratitude. "No, you helped me more than you'll ever know. You showed me the beauty of the world and helped me rediscover my joy for life. I will never forget that."As we said our goodbyes and made our way back to our own tents, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. We had come so far, and we had achieved so much. And it was all thanks to the power of peace, love, and friendship.As I drifted off to sleep that night, I knew that there would be more challenges in the future. But I also knew that with the Alpha King by my side, we could face anything that came our way.For we had proven that with the power of peace, love, a
The Alpha King and I discussed at length one evening, and he finally set a feasible date for our wedding. It was going to be a high profile but private affair. I was excited to finally get the whole wedding thing out of the way. But there was something wrong. I had a deep gut feeling that I could not quite shake. It suddenly felt like my inner wolf was slowly yawning after a long nap because I started to feel the dull stabs of pain that I felt back at home when I was a guarded princess. My arms hurt constantly and my shoulders felt raw. My gums hurt like new teeth were about to burst out of them. I took the pain medications prescribed by the doctor, but nothing happened to stop the pain.Determined to not let anything pull me down, I dived deep into the planning of my wedding, acting the perfectly happy bride. The Alpha King was still somewhat aloof, but he was everything I needed him to be right when I needed him to be it. The morning of the wedding finally came, and I woke up with
The news of my shifting into my wolf form spread far and wide in no time like wildfire. The change in my looks was also a huge topic, featuring on magazine covers and in blogs. Being a brunette became a thing of great joy and pride. Having vanquished Ethan, the Rogue King single handedly, the strength and power of my wolf was not to be played with or downplayed. With the news of Clara's wolf being all powerful and virile, trouble came into the Alpha King and my self's paradise of love and honeymoon. I started getting fan mails from wolves far and wide, asking questions about how I got to where I was as Luna and the Alpha King's wife. Some of these wolves were curious about my training and how I gained such immense strength and power, while others were more interested in getting close to me, hoping to join the pack and be under my protection. This influx of attention made the Alpha King uneasy, as he feared for my safety and the safety of our pack.As the days went by, things escala
I nodded, feeling grateful for her words. "I know, but I just don't know what to do. I feel so trapped."Becky leaned in, her voice soft and reassuring. "You're not trapped, sis. You always have options, even if they're not immediately clear. And remember, the only way to move forward is one step at a time."I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of clarity wash over me. "You're right. I need to take things one step at a time. And right now, that means figuring out how to make things better for myself."Becky smiled, her eyes filled with pride. "That's the spirit. We'll figure it out together. And if you need to stay here for a while, that's perfectly fine. You're always welcome here."I nodded, feeling a sense of relief. "Thank you, Becky. I don't know what I would do without you."We spent the rest of the day talking, laughing, and reminiscing about old times. And as the sun began to set, I felt a sense of hope, of optimism for the future. I knew that I still had a long road ahead of
As I continued on my way, I realized that this was one of the most fulfilling experiences I had had in a long time. Helping to bring people together and create a sense of unity was truly rewarding.But my work was not yet done. There were still external threats to the castle, and we needed to be prepared for anything that might come our way.One day, as I was walking through the castle, I heard the sound of horns in the distance. I immediately ran to the walls to see what was happening.In the distance, I could see a group of raiders approaching the castle, their banners waving in the wind. The guards on the walls were scrambling to prepare for the attack.I knew that we had to act quickly. I raced to the queen's chambers to inform her of the impending attack. She quickly assembled her advisors and knights, and we began to prepare for the defense of the castle.The knights were ready and eager for battle, and the peasants were doing their part as well. They had been trained in basic c
I'm thinking of leaving Xavier again."I said at the nail salon with Mila and Ellen, and they looked over at me with pity in their eyes." Don't look at me like I said I'll drink acid, girls!" I said, and they blinked."The Irene problem, huh?" Mila asked, and I nodded sadly."I don't want to resort to making her life miserable," I replied. "But I just can't take it anymore. She's always making snide remarks and trying to one-up me. And don't even get me started on the baby. It's like Xavier has completely forgotten about me and everything we had."Mila and Ellen exchanged a knowing glance. "Look, we get it," Ellen said. "But have you considered giving Xavier another chance? Maybe he just needs some time to come around and realize how much he's hurting you.""I've given him plenty of chances," I retorted. "But it's like he doesn't care. And as for Irene, I don't
Attus put a comforting arm around me. "I'm sorry you've been going through all of that," he said. "But you're not alone. I'm here for you, and so are your friends and family."I leaned into him, feeling grateful for his support. "I know," I said. "But sometimes it feels like that's not enough. I feel like I'm trapped here, with no escape."Attus was quiet for a moment, deep in thought. Then he spoke."I know we can't change everything that's going on in the castle," he said. "But we can try to make things better, in our own small way. We can spend more time together, and with our friends. We can support each other, and be there for each other."I looked up at him, feeling hopeful for the first time in a while. "You're right," I said. "We can do that. And maybe, in time, things will get better."Attus smiled at me, his brown eyes warm and reassuring. "I believe they will," he said. "We just have to take things one day at a time, and be there for each other along the way."I nodded, fee
Months flew past like seconds and one night, Irene's loud screams woke the entire castle. She was in labour. Withy how dramatic she was, hse made life a living hell even for the Alpha King who'd had two children with me and never had to suffer so much with me. "I am dying!" She screamed, scratching, punching and kicking everyone and everything in her way. The midwife and nurses quickly arrived at Irene's chambers, trying their best to calm her down and carry her to the delivery room. It was a difficult task, as Irene continued to thrash around, screaming and cursing everyone in sight.Finally, they managed to get her to the delivery room, where she was immediately immersed in a large basin of warm water. Irene had insisted on a water birth, as she claimed it was the most natural and pain-free way to give birth. But as the contractions intensified, she began to regret her decision.The midwife and nurses did their best to support her through the labor, but it soon became clear that th
Irene sneered down at the little girl. "I don't care what you meant. Just stay out of my way from now on, or you'll regret it."Luna ran off, sobbing uncontrollably, and Orion soon found her and asked her what had happened. When Luna told him, he became upset and ran off to find me. When he found me, he told me what had happened and I immediately went to find Irene."Irene, we need to talk," I said firmly, my eyes blazing with anger."What do you want?" Irene snapped, her hand resting protectively on her pregnant belly."I want to know why you slapped my daughter," I replied, trying to keep my voice calm."She got in my way, and I warned her to stay out of it," Irene replied, her voice dripping with disdain."That's not an excuse to hit a child," I said, my voice rising. "You could have hurt her. She's just a little girl.""She should know better than to get in my way," Irene said coldly. "I don't have time for her childish games.""She's just a child!" I exclaimed, my anger getting t
"I'm sorry," I said again, my voice breaking. "I never meant to hurt you. I love you both so much."Luna and Orion clung to me tightly, their tears soaking my hospital gown. I could feel the warmth of their bodies, the beating of their hearts, and I knew that I never wanted to lose them again.As we sat there, huddled together in my hospital bed, I realized just how much I had to be grateful for. Despite my struggles, I still had the love and support of my children, my family, and my friends. And as I looked at Luna and Orion's tear-streaked faces, I knew that I had to do everything in my power to make things right."I promise to do better," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "I promise to fight my addiction and be the best mother I can be."Luna looked up at me, her eyes wide with hope. "You mean it, Mommy?""I do," I replied firmly. "I'm going to get better for you and your brother. I want to be here for all the good moments, to watch you grow up and become the amazing people I kn
I lay in the hospital bed, feeling alone and ashamed, and I knew that I had to face my husband and own up to my mistakes. I couldn't continue to hide from him, couldn't continue to avoid the consequences of my actions.As he walked into the room, I could see the anger in his eyes, the disappointment etched on his face. He stood beside my bed, his arms crossed over his chest, and I knew that I was in for a stern lecture.He spoke to me in a voice that was both stern and compassionate, reminding me of my responsibilities as his wife and as the Queen of our kingdom. He told me that my actions had consequences, not just for myself but for our entire kingdom, and that I needed to take responsibility for my mistakes.I listened to his words, feeling the weight of his disappointment bearing down on me. I knew that I had let him down, that I had failed in my duties as his wife and as a leader in our kingdom.But even as he spoke, I could see the love and concern in his eyes, and I knew that h
As I awaken in the hospital room, I am greeted by the sight of white walls and fluorescent lights. The room was small, with a single bed in the center, and medical equipment scattered throughout the space. I felt groggy, my head aching, and my stomach churning. The events leading up to my hospitalization were hazy, but a dull ache in my chest reminded me of the intense emotions that I was experiencing.As I looked around the room, my eyes caught a glimpse of the ashtray sitting on the bedside table. I reached out and picked up the ashtray, examining the contents. It was filled with cigarette butts, and the stench of smoke filled the air. I realized that I must have smoked an entire pack of cigarettes, one after the other, in an attempt to drown out my thoughts and emotions.I remembered taking swigs from a bottle of vodka, the warmth of the liquid filling my stomach as the alcohol took effect. I felt numb and detached from my surroundings, lost in a sea of self-pity and despair.Tears
