Chapter 36The whole palace became busier because of searching for Jules who has not been found until now. Damon also got busier. He made the palace guards focus on our surroundings. Every village was also more prepared because of the impending danger that Jules was carrying.Britney's coming to the palace was also temporarily stopped because Damon was careful about those who came in and out of the palace. So now the only ones in the palace are the guards, elders, councils, and others who have duties in the palace.While Anna and a guard stayed by my side while I tried to distract myself through reading. I am now here in the library and in front of me is the mountain of books that Anna gave me to read. I was bored earlier, and I couldn't do anything. That's why I thought of reading books even though I knew I would only get more bored with this.I looked at Anna who was also reading a book and the guard who was with us remained standing behind the door. I hardly saw him move there. May
Chapter 37I couldn’t believe I was now in front of Neticia's picture. The girl Damon first loved. The first woman he appreciated. The woman who changed Damon's behavior. Just looking at her for the first time and you will know she is not an ordinary woman even though I know she was just a housekeeper at the palace.I turned around the room where I was now. Then this room belonged to Neticia. I explored every corner of the room and just thinking that many memories of Neticia were formed here made my chest ache slightly. Her room looks cozy and neat. Just take a look at her room and you will immediately see that it belongs to a beautiful woman like Neticia. I looked again at the large painting hanging on the wall of this room."Damon missed you...do you know that?" I talked to her picture. I swallowed hard as I felt the bitterness running down my throat. I sighed heavily and smiled a bit while staring at her stunning face."Why? Damon was always beside you…yet you still want to follow
Chapter 38R18A fire was burning in my body and only Damon could give this to me. The way he kissed my lips seemed to drain all the strength I had. Especially when his hand started going inside my nighties. His warm palm traveled freely over my burning skin.I moaned softly when his hands reached my bra and unhooked it. He stopped kissing my lips and dropped them to my jaw. I can feel his tongue grazing on my skin. I can't help but moan every flicker, every suck of his mouth on my skin."Damon..." I mumbled as he began to caress my chest. His two hands are massaging my breasts, his sinful hands are playing with my nipple, nibbling and clipping it with both of his fingers."You like that, hmm?" he hummed while kissing my neck. Shit! Just one kiss and caress from him automatically makes my earthly body come alive with what he does. I feel like he controls my entire being and I can't do anything but do whatever he wants.He quickly took off my clothes and shorts. Only my panties were le
Chapter 39It was punishment indeed. Damon didn't let me sleep all night. He fucks me so hard until I'm exhausted. He finished just as the sun was beginning to rise a little in the sky. That's why when I woke up the next day, I was shocked to see the time on the big wall clock.It's already 12 noon!What the hell? I moved a little and immediately winced when I felt the pain in my femininity and pain all over my body. Shit?! It was even more painful than before! Damn it! Next time I will definitely not make Damon catch me when I do something he doesn't know about!I looked at my body under the thick blanket. I'm already wearing my nighties. Does it mean...Damon dressed me? I don't remember anything. My body stiffened when the bathroom door opened. And I was right. Damon came out there, wearing his white bathrobe, his hair was damp, and he looks so hot!I blinked when we looked at each other. Did he just take a shower? Does that mean he didn't leave earlier? He didn't work in his office
Chapter 40Until now, my cheeks are still red from what Damon did. He kissed me in front of so many people! I know he already did that when we were married but his kiss was different from now because we didn't feel anything for each other before...now I can feel my heart trembling.Many people saw that, so Damon quickly pulled me out of that place and stopped at a jewelry stall still here in the small market. When I turned to Damon, he was already grinning at me. He likes what he did. I can see the sparkle in his eyes. I rolled my eyes at him.I didn't know that he had the courage to do that. I never imagine him doing that because he's used to doing things with elegance. And what he did earlier was not elegant at all. But why is my heart like this now? It's beating so happily."W-What if someone saw us earlier? You're so careless, Damon!” I said to him angrily. He raised an eyebrow at me. My cheeks reddened because of his looks that almost penetrated my soul."Don't worry they didn't
Chapter 41R18The guards were more vigilant in the following days. I also noticed Damon's frequent departures from the palace to join the search for Jules' scent trail left in the Agama Forest.Every time I see him tired, I can't help but feel sad and worry about him. He's been working too much. We hardly slept together anymore because he always entered our room late. I'm so worried about him. Even though he always told me that he was fine.But I know he's not. He will never be. Moreover, he knew that someone might be betraying him and until now Jules can move freely. I want to help him, but I don't know how. I do not know how.I bit my lower lip as I stared at the book I'm reading. As usual, I'm here in the library to read and study even though Britney has stopped visiting the palace. I'm the only one here in the library today because I told Anna to get snacks from the kitchen. I feel safe being alone here because I know there are two guards outside the library.If only I could do s
Chapter 42I closed my eyes tightly. I accepted his violent jabs at me. My nails dig into his back as his pace speeds up. I could hear his violent moans as he continued to thrust into me. My lips parted because of the mixture of desire and pain I felt under Damon.It was different from our previous sex. I did not expect the strength and speed that he is showing tonight. I feel every pain. He's not stopping himself. I feel like he is deaf to all my moans and grunts. He's not himself anymore.But I let him. I let him claim me the way he wanted. I wanted this. I wanted to see all of him. I know I may not be able to accept every pain. I know I'm going to get hurt but I don't want myself to fail Damon. I want him to be satisfied with me. I don't want him to restrain himself from me. I want him to be true to me.I closed my eyes tightly when I felt the tightness and roughness of every caress and touch of his hand on me. Gone the pleasure and lust it was replaced by pain and tears. Every bre
Chapter 43I was in the room having breakfast and Damon didn't leave my side. He stayed by my side and carefully watched me every time I took a bite of food. I can't stop feeling awkward because of what he's doing. But at the same time, my heart felt so happy with the way he was treating me. I'm like a broken crystal that he wants to keep so much."Don't you have work today, Damon?" I asked him. I was about to finish eating when I thought of asking him about that. It's a wonder he didn't leave this morning. He went home early last night, and he won't be working today. Stone might have a hard time because he has all the work. Anna will worry even more."Delta Robin and Stone are both there to supervise everything," he answered. I nodded. It's good that Stone has company. Even though Delta Robin is old I know he can still be counted on for tasks."I'm going to the library today. I'll take Anna with me. You should go now to your work," I said after drinking the milk that was included in
The Final Chapter: Epilogue"Alpha Damon!" I stopped when Anna called me. She knelt in front of me, sobbing, "T-Thank you for saving Stone's life—""I don't want to receive gratitude for it, Anna, because I still can't forgive him for what he did," I explained. She nodded.“I know...but I'm hoping for Athena's recovery soon," she said before I continued walking. I waited a few hours before the doctor came out. I hadn't even showered or gotten dressed when I saw the doctor come out of the room. He's a great doctor. He's a wolf who knows how to operate even a human body."Is she okay now?" I quickly stood up and approached the doctor. For some reason, I feel better while waiting for the doctor to say, "Luna Athena...has lost so much blood, Alpha..., so we need more of her blood, but for now, I've stopped her bleeding. For now, she's stable. But we should not be complacent," he said. Somehow, I feel better. I immediately ordered the staff to go to the human world to get Athena's blood ty
Part 1: EpilogueI used to think that being an Alpha king meant just sitting on your throne, taking care of your people, and thinking of ways that would help the kingdom flourish. But I was wrong. Being an Alpha king means so much more than that; it also includes sacrifices and pain. I questioned my older brother's decisions back then, but I forgot that he's also just like us. He may be a great leader, strong and brave, but he also has feelings. Apart from being the Alpha king of the kingdom, he is also a brother who loves his family.Being the Alpha king has never been easy. When I became the Alpha king, I finally understood Alpha Devon's feelings and hardships, especially when Athena came into my life. Having her is both a pain and happiness. Pain, because she became my weakness. She was my only weakness, not only physically but also emotionally. Everything about her is a source of weakness for me: her tears, her cries, her pains, her broken voice. I can't bear to see her hurt becau
Chapter 65Solitaire... I didn't know why Solidad named her Solitaire. Solitaire is not a bad name, but I don't like the meaning of it. Nevertheless, I need to focus on the things I need to do with Solidad and her daughter. I gritted my teeth as I watched Solidad beg in front of me. She was asking for forgiveness and more time with her daughter. “I can't bear to be separated from my daughter, Alpha Damon! I know what destiny she has and I will never hold her against you, so please...give me a few more years and I promised I will willingly give her to you when she turns eighteen,” Those were her words as she cried hard in front of me.I am not supposed to feel pity for her, but at that time I did. Maybe because every time I see her, my older brother's memories keep coming back to me. This is the woman my brother loved the most. My brother wouldn't like it if he saw her mate crying and begging for my mercy, so I let her go that day. "What's her name again?" I asked Solidad before Ston
Chapter 64It was declared to lift Solidad's punishment. Instead of death, it was agreed that the punishment would be being a slave in the palace for the rest of her life. But Delta Robin appealed because Solidad used to be a queen in the palace, and she doesn't deserve to be a slave in the palace. That's why it was changed again and she was only given the punishment that she was not allowed to set foot in the palace again. It was also agreed that when she gives birth, she will live in the forest of the Agama kingdom for the rest of her life. One day, my grandfather Brandon visited the palace. "I heard that you have now met your mate, Alpha Damon." I welcomed him into my office. The housekeepers served us wine, so this is what we are holding now. "I don't even want to think about it," I said. To this day, I still can't believe that Solidad's pregnancy could be what the Goddess of the Moon intended for me. What else I hate so much is what is happening now. It's like fate is playing w
Chapter 63I let Solidad into the human world where she came from before she met Alpha Devon. I know the loss of my brother is painful for her, and I can't blame her, for asking now to leave the place filled with memories of Alpha Devon. Even I couldn't forget my brother. No matter what I do, nightmares and conscience continue to haunt me. Because Alpha Devon died, I didn’t have the chance to talk to him properly. I regret that doubt led me then, so I didn't approach him immediately when I noticed his strange avoidance of me. I wish I had fixed the space between the two of us before he died.But it was too late. There was nothing I could do to repent because death had taken Alpha Devon forever and all I could do was correct what I thought were his mistakes. Surely, if he were alive today, he would ask for the same thing from me. That's why in recent times and years I have continued the investigation. But when the councilors and elders found out about it, they immediately told me to
Chapter 62I couldn't accept everything I heard. I never thought Alpha Devon would choose my situation over the justice we wanted to achieve for our parents. But how can I face him when I know why he chose me? Alpha Devon had always had a soft heart, which is why he was loved by all the people in our kingdom. One of them is his love for his own blood, and that is his family. He knows from the start that once you sit on that throne, your main role is to protect the kingdom and not your family. But Alpha Devon chose the opposite, and I can't help but blame myself too. If I hadn't been weak and hadn't been taken lightly by the enemies, all of this wouldn't have happened. Alpha Devon would never have had a reason to abandon his role. That day, Jules left the palace. I heard Neticia crying from her room, but I can't comfort her right now because I am also confused and flabbergasted by all the things I found out. That same day, the elders and councilors announced that the hunting season
Chapter 61Neticia often came with me especially when Alpha Devon was busy. She's cheerful and energetic. Sometimes, I will get irritated because of her but I don't have any choice but to have patience with her. I am not like Jules who is always rude towards her.I don't understand why Jules disliked her so much. She's doing nothing wrong besides being annoying, but she's fine for me. Neticia tried to get close to Jules but Jules was being difficult. I don't want to interfere. That was what Jules wanted and there was nothing I could do.Years of being with Neticia made me feel a normal life. She was my playmate and friend for those times I was lonely. Because since the war ended Alpha Devon has been ignoring me. Or maybe I was just overthinking everything. Perhaps he was just busy.I just finished my training with Delta Robin when I passed by Neticia's room. It was slightly open so I could see her inside. She was sitting on a chair and in front of her was the canvas. One thing I've kn
Chapter 60I felt my head aching as I slowly opened my eyes. I can feel the soreness in my body as realization dawned on me. Terror filled me when I realized that I am now tied in a chair while in front of me is unfamiliar people staring at me like they want to tear me apart into a million pieces."Finally, you're awake," someone said. My forehead creased as I narrowed my eyes to look at the man slowly walking out of the darkness. The last time I remember I was on my combat training session with Delta Robin and then someone stormed in and knocked me off. I didn't know what happened after that. I just woke up in this situation."Who are you?" I asked. I am puzzled and worried, but I was trained to be calm in this kind of situation and don't want those restless training to be put to waste. I will be like my brother."I'm the Alpha king of the Rema kingdom, Alpha Rafael," he introduced himself at the same time I saw his face clearly. My jaw dropped as I clearly saw his face. I balled my
Chapter 59DAMON TIMOTHY SCOTThe day I was born was a whole week of celebration. It was repeatedly told by my older brother. I admire him so much since I was a child. I always watched him during a day break and sometimes mimic his moves. Alpha Devon never disappoints me until everything happened.I thought that being in royals is lucky. I can do everything I want. I can have everything I want. But I never thought that being in this family was this difficult. Primarily, when I found out the truth. What I thought was my cousin and friend Jules Simson was not just a cousin or a friend."I couldn't believe you hide this from me, you hide this from me and Damon!" I heard my brother, Devon's tense voice as he spoke. I am secretly hiding behind a wall because when I heard my brother's troubled voice I couldn't help but be curious."This is just for your own good! See what happened when you found out the truth? And you can't do anything with it, Devon. Nothing will change no matter what you
