Diana

To smooth things over and avoid any suspicion from Asher after skipping the women’s ritual, I would give him what he wanted most.

Sex.

I knew how much he’d been yearning for us to fully seal our bond, and this would keep him basking in the euphoria of finally being with his wife.

I walked to Lila’s wardrobe, feeling a pang of annoyance at the variety of lingerie she owned. How many did she need? I pushed through silk and lace until my fingers brushed against a stunning red set. It was bold, designed to tease without giving away everything. The straps were thin, crisscrossing at the back, and the material flowed like a second skin. I paired it with diamond drop earrings and an anklet, giving the outfit a sensual elegance. After some thought, I added a black robe that tied loosely at the waist, just enough to hint at what lay beneath.

Satisfied, I stood before the mirror, adjusting the straps and letting my hair fall in loose waves over my shoulders. I dabbed on a nude lip color

    Diana I lay in bed, pretending to be too weak to even turn my head. The pack doctor stood beside me as he checked my pulse.“Did you eat anything unusual?”I opened my eyes weakly, letting my lashes flutter like a faint breeze had disturbed them. “No, I’ve just been feeling nauseous, but there’s no pain,” I whispered, ensuring my voice wavered like I was barely holding on.He nodded, scribbling something in his notebook before placing a cool hand on my forehead. “You’re warm, but not feverish. I’ll give you something to stabilize your vitals. It’s likely exhaustion or perhaps mild food poisoning. You need rest.”I nodded faintly, letting my head fall to the side. He pulled out a vial and poured a dose of a thick, minty liquid into a spoon. He held it to my lips. I took it reluctantly, coughing weakly to add to the performance.“You’ll sleep this off. If you need anything, call me immediately.” He touched my forehead once more, gave a reassuring smile, and left.As soon as the door cli

    Asher The morning sunlight poured through the curtains. I lay beside my wife, feeling a rare peace. My arm rested over Lila, the warm curve of her back fitting against me like she was designed for it. Her soft breaths were the only sound in the room. She looked like a vision with her hair spilling across the pillow. Even in sleep she managed to look so effortlessly beautiful Her cheeks held a faint flush, the kind you’d swear could only be painted by an artist who understood magic.My chest swelled with love. She was my wife. My mate.Sex last night was intense beyond words. Leaning forward, I pressed a kiss on her forehead. Her lips parted as a soft sigh escaped, but she didn’t wake. The sight made my heart swell. Smiling to myself like a lovesick fool, I carefully slid out of bed, determined to do something that might actually match the brilliance of this woman. An idea struck me: breakfast in bed.The maids froze the moment I stepped into the kitchen, looking shocked and mildly

    Diana Sitting on the edge of the bed, my hands cradled my head as a storm of thoughts tore through my mind. Telling Asher the truth felt like standing on the edge of a cliff, unsure if the leap would bring salvation or destruction. My heart pounded as I played out the scenarios, each more deadly than the last.In one vision, I knelt before him, tears streaming down my face as I confessed everything—the lies, the betrayal, and the truth about who I was. Asher’s face hardened into stone as my words landed like blows. His jaw clenched, and his eyes turned cold and unforgiving. He called for his guards and escorted me out of the castle, banished to live the rest of my life in disgrace.Another possibility flashed through my mind, darker than the first. His temper would erupt in a torrent of Lycan fury. I could see him as a judge and executioner who would demand my head for deceiving the king of the Lycans. I imagined him standing tall, cold, and merciless as our bond disintegrated into n

    Diana Leaving that house felt like breaking free from chains, even though I knew I wasn’t free. My mind raced with the absurdity of agreeing to help those vile creatures. How had I let them push me into this? I hated myself for even pretending to comply. There was no way I’d ever betray Asher, but now, I had to figure out how to escape this mess without raising suspicion. I’d dodged the women’s ritual, but stealing a critical document from Asher’s office was a different beast entirely.Eddie, with his sickeningly sweet smile, offered to walk me home. I mustered a smile, thanking him. It took every ounce of self-control not to tell him to rot in hell. But I had decided to stop challenging him outright. I had to be strategic and act like I was on their side. If I could gather enough evidence to expose them, I could beat them at their own game. So, I let Eddie take my hand, even though the touch made my skin crawl.We walked in silence for a while. Then, out of nowhere, he veered off th

    Diana The Harvest Thanksgiving Festival was in full swing. The open field was alive with movement, encircled by forests and lit by the glow of a bonfire at its center. Wooden tables groaned under the weight of seasonal offerings pumpkins, apples, and freshly baked bread—while children’s laughter rang out as they raced through a hay bale maze. Lanterns swayed gently from branches, casting light across the pack gathered in their finest.I sat with Josh on my lap. His hand was sticky from the honeyed cake he devoured. My heart raced with the weight of Eddie's evil plan, but I kept calm, focusing instead on Josh as he fed me a crumb.The scent of venison and spiced cider mingled with the crispness of the autumn air. I glanced up and spotted Lisa in the distance. She didn't seem like the subdued, broken woman I had seen before. She looked radiant, with a smile lighting up her face as she approached me. She bowed slightly, her eyes glinting with gratitude.“I took your advice,” Lisa said s

    Asher The festival felt like it had dragged on for an eternity. I couldn’t wait for it to end. Every time I glanced at the spot where Lila had been sitting with the boys, a pang of impatience hit me. She’d left hours ago with them, and the second she was gone, my interest in this whole affair evaporated. It was all grating at this point.But I couldn’t cut it short. People were enjoying themselves, celebrating the pack’s prosperity, and who was I to ruin their night? So, I stayed, plastering a smile on my face while holding a glass of wine that I refused to drink. Eddie kept circling me like a vulture, pouring drinks into everyone’s cups, insisting I take more.“Come on, Asher,” he said, his grin wide as he nudged my arm. “What’s the matter with you tonight? Since when did the king become such a lightweight?”I chuckled and took another slow sip from the glass I’d been nursing for the last hour. The truth was, this was one of my favorite wines, aged to perfection, with a rich, velvet

    Diana The weekend passed without seeing Eddie, and I couldn’t have been more relieved. It felt like I could finally breathe, like a temporary dark cloud had lifted. The plan to deceive him with a fake document was still fresh in my mind, but his absence made my worry seem unnecessary. I wasn’t going to waste energy thinking about him unless he reappeared.Meanwhile, Asher was his usual self, showering me with love and spoiling me. He was so attentive that it felt like I was living a dream. I could have stayed wrapped up in his affection all day, but reality didn’t allow it. The boys were set to resume school on Monday, and I wanted everything to be perfect for their first day.After breakfast, I decided to take a trip to the pack's central district supermarket to pick up school supplies for the boys. Usually, the nanny or one of the maids would handle it, but I wanted to do it myself. I needed the break from the castle, and driving through the pack lands felt liberating.Once I arriv

    DianaEddie was in the house. I could smell his stench of trouble from a mile away, and I couldn’t wait for all of this to be over so I wouldn’t have to see his wicked face again. I had already told the maid to inform him I wasn’t home. Asher wasn’t around either, but I could hear Eddie yelling at the maid downstairs, demanding to be allowed upstairs. His voice grew louder, and I heard the unmistakable threat in his tone.I had stayed in Asher’s room since spending the night there, but when I realized Eddie was about to escalate things, maybe even hit the poor maid, I couldn’t stand by any longer. I tightened my robe, steeling myself, and walked to the bannister.“What do you want, Eddie?” I called from upstairs, my voice firm.He looked up, his angry scowl melting into a taunting smirk. “My queen,” he said mockingly, “since when did you start lying about not being home? I came to deliver a message.”I crossed my arms, staring down at him. “Well, I told the maid I didn’t want to see a

    MarcusI struggled to wrap my head around the possibility that two people could look identical.The image of the Lycan Queen haunted my thoughts, making it impossible to think clearly. Whenever I pictured her face, I knew deep down that it was Diana. No one could convince me otherwise. Diana and I had been married for years. She had been my Luna; no one knew her better than I did. Her face, eyes, lips—everything was the same.Well, almost everything. The way the Queen smiled seemed different. It had a breeziness that Diana never used to show. But even if there were slight differences, her refusal to come downstairs and meet her guests during my visit to the King’s territory screamed that something was wrong. I could smell the secrecy. Still, the big question remained: how could my ex-wife Diana be the Queen?Before I left the King's estate, I discovered that the King had twin six-year-old boys. That fact alone caused endless confusion because Diana and I divorced only a few months

    DianaIn the past two weeks, I enjoyed an unusual period of calmness. It felt like a strange kind of sanity had finally returned to my life.I rested from the constant tension of looking over my shoulder. For once, I didn’t have to worry about Marcus lurking in the shadows or Eddie scheming to bring me down. Fear, I realized, had a way of eating away at your mind like cancer. Every move around the house felt weighted with the possibility of bumping into Marcus, and the mental toll was suffocating.During those dark days, anytime someone entered the house unexpectedly, I would stay upstairs and peek from the safety of the second floor until I was sure of the visitor. My nerves had been so tightly wound that I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to breathe freely. But now, with Marcus confirmed to be gone, the fear in my chest eased just a little.Of course, the lies and secrets still lingered. They were ticking time bombs, and I knew that Asher’s pain and rage would be unavoidable w

    Diana Arching my hips, I met Asher thrust for thrust and moved under him, moaning as he filled me.When the climax came, it came for us both. Our bodies fused in one shared hot, sticky release, and I shuddered, blasted by bombs of pleasure. Utterly spent, Asher’s chest rose and fell with each deep, relaxed breath. I smiled warmly as I watched him, this beautiful man who had become my entire world. My eyes were drawn to the trail of tiny hairs running from the base of his neck to his navel. Gently, I reached out and let my fingers brush against them, feeling their delicate texture.I began to rub his chest in slow, soothing circles, feeling the heat of his skin beneath my touch. The moment felt intimate and peaceful, but my mind couldn’t entirely escape the storm of thoughts brewing inside me.That menace Marcus was still here, somewhere in the house, and the thought sank my heart. I knew Asher loved me deeply and would do anything I asked, but how could I tell him to dismiss Marcus

    Asher My guest, Marcus, whom I wasn't particularly fond of but saw as someone I could see an advantage in allying with, had arrived.When he arrived, I had many back-to-back meetings and had to introduce him to Eddie earlier. Now, I joined them as Marcus bowed respectfully.“My pack sends their greetings,” he said, offering several boxes of gifts.“That wasn’t necessary,” I said, trying to keep my tone neutral. Internally, I wondered why I would need gifts from someone here to borrow money.“The queen has prepared us a sumptuous dinner; let’s join her,” I said, leading him to the dining room.The table was set, with the cooks and maids waiting to serve, but I noticed Lila’s absence.“Send for the queen,” I said, washing my hands. One of the maids bowed respectfully and left to fulfill my order.She returned moments later, bowing apologetically. “My king, the queen seems to be under the weather. She’s resting in her room, covered in a blanket, and has requested broth to be delivered t

    DianaAfter successfully obtaining Theodore's hair, I went to the lab to get the testing done. But now I worried about what the technicians would think, and I had to navigate the delicate process of getting it tested without arousing suspicion.Being the supposed queen of the pack put me in the public eye. Gossip could spread like wildfire, and I needed to ensure this matter remained under wraps.I pushed open the door and slipped inside. The receptionist looked up as I entered and had a curious expression on her face. She recognized me and leaped off her chair.“My Queen,” she bowed.I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. "I need to get some testing done.” The head scientist, a man in his fifties with sharp eyes and a calm spirit greeted me. He didn’t strike me as someone who would spread rumors, but the people working under him might not be as silent."This is strictly confidential," I said, looking him straight in the eye when he led me to his office. "Can I trust

    Diana I was getting ready for the night when I suddenly looked up and saw Josh standing at the entrance of my room. His mop of curly hair made him look even more adorable.My heart swelled with love and affection for him. “Hey, sweetie, come here,” I said, patting the bed beside me.He looked at me with a sad expression in his eyes and took a small step forward, holding a stuffed rabbit. My heart went out to him, knowing how he had been feeling down lately. I had been trying to spend more time with him and make him feel better, but with my own problems of unmasking Eddie and his cohorts, I wasn’t giving him the attention he deserved.“Come on.” I opened my arms wide. When he reached the bed, I scooped him up in my arms, lifting him onto the bed beside me. He snuggled into my chest, his hands wrapped tightly around me. I held him close, stroking his hair and back. All Josh needed was love and reassurance, and even though he wasn’t my biological child, if the tide turned in my favor,

    AsherI lay in bed, sensing that something was bothering Lila. She was still, her back to me. I could feel the tension in her body in the way she held herself like she was trying to hold everything together.My hand rested on her hip. I waited for a response, hoping that she would relax into my touch. But she didn't. She didn't stiffen either, but she didn't melt into me like she usually did. Instead, she remained still, like she was a million miles away.Usually, when I touched her like this, she would turn around, snuggle into me, and we would spend the morning wrapped in each other's arms. I wanted to ask her what was wrong and fix whatever was bothering her. But I hesitated, knowing that sometimes, when she was like this, asking for answers only made things worse.So I stayed quiet, holding her, hoping that my presence would be enough to remind her that she wasn't alone. I held her close, feeling her warmth, her heartbeat, and her gentle breathing.Perhaps she was struggling with

    DianaThe hotel doors slid open, revealing a lobby that screamed luxury. My eyes adjusted to the warm lighting that filled the space, scanning across the space in search of Eddie.I couldn’t wait to get this over with. I moved with quiet determination, making my way deeper into the lobby. Just as frustration bubbled to the surface, thinking the bastard hadn’t even shown up, I saw him. He was lounging on a sleek couch at the far end of the lobby, sipping a drink with the smugness of someone who thought they owned the world.When our eyes met, a wave of disgust crashed over me. I didn't bother to hide it. My stomach twisted, but I forced a cold, practiced smile onto my face as I approached him.“Oh, there you are,” Eddie drawled, his tone dripping with mockery. “I was beginning to think you wouldn’t show.”I kept my eyes locked on his, refusing to give him the satisfaction of looking away. Bullies thrived on fear, and I wasn’t about to give him any power over me. His smile widened as he
