I was back to Draven’s suite by morning and a little disappointed to find that he wasn’t available. I’d been gone for almost four days but Smythe had been the one to pick me up from the temple and bring me back to the house. We stopped at a restaurant to get food on our way home. Draven didn’t bother to turn up.I had to talk myself out of my sour mood while I took my bath in the shower and reminisced on all that went down with the oracle and my time with the moon goddess, especially what she’d said about Zayden not being mine. Maybe that was part of my punishment for not allowing her in. It’s been about a week since he died, but I still didn’t feel bad about him or that he died. Matter of fact, a part of me wished he’d gone sooner even though guilt wouldn’t make me admit it. I have felt lighter since he died and after my encounter the last few days, I must admit I’ve not felt as good as I feel right now in all my life. It feels like half the burden has been lifted off my shoulders. T

There weren’t many stories about the third lycan prince as there were about the first two that I’d read and heard about as a child and growing up, but not once did I think he was this much of an asshole. My heart was drumming loudly in my chest and a cold enveloped me. Fear and irritation were the only things I felt as the horrific scene continued to play in my head. He’d bragged about having Heather, but I doubt Draven is even aware of this. What manner of animal is he? And what would have happened if Draven hadn’t showed up when he did? Would I have successfully gotten out? I resisted the urge to curse the moon goddess. She claimed to have blessed me with the gift to foretell the future and see the past, yet I didn’t have the power to defend myself. I was weak! My heart froze when I heard a tap on the door, but before my body could move to answer it, the door was flung violently open and my eyes were met with the dark, cold eyes of an angry Draven. Of course it was his suite, and

DRAVENPressure. Unending pressure. It’s what I’ve known all my life. From the minute I was born, the pressure followed me everywhere. It became a part of me, from infant into adulthood. I learnt to handle it, but some days could be worse than others, and today happens to be one of my terrible days. After the scene I’d just walked into with Donovan and my mate, my beast only craved one thing. Blood.The last few days have been horrific. Asides from the pressure from the council and kinsmen to hasten the mating ceremony, I’d had to deal with different conflicts rising here and there within and outside the palace. Our borders were breached again. Plus, the issue with Silver Moon pack that my mate once belonged to. After the unruly behavior of the alpha’s son and seeing those scars on my mate’s back, I was determined to shut down the entire pack. Esme had told me she wasn’t one of the favorites in her pack, and I had the gut feeling that they had all one way or the other contributed to

ESMERAYThe days that followed were catastrophic for me. It feels like after the incident with Donovan, Draven vowed not to leave me idle or let me away from his sight. I felt relieved though knowing that Donovan was no longer in the Lycaon palace and would not pose a threat to me anymore, but now I had to work, train, and attend meetings with Draven, which frankly speaking wasn’t as exciting as I’d envisioned it to be.The first two days in the office had me almost running mad. It was hard to understand half of the tasks delegated to me and Draven wasn’t a very patient person or good at explaining. There was so much to do and even though I was given the littlest tasks, I spent hours trying to put them together. I was slow, but thankfully, Draven hadn’t complained about my incompetence. Initially, the office set up for me was opposite his, but he’d moved my desk to a section of his office just so he could keep an eye on me. When I got lost on what to do sometimes, it was hard to ask

“You are getting stronger, but still not strong enough to carry my mark,” Those were his first words when he laid me gently on the bed “You do know, little mate, that I cannot postpone the mating ceremony any longer,” The bed dipped when he climbed in beside me.I closed my eyes as he pulled me close, wishing I could avoid his words. I have attended a few meetings with the kingmakers, and although Draven defended me before them, we couldn’t put it off much longer. They have wanted for a long time to make Draven their king, and now that he found his mate there was no reason for the postponement.Truthfully, Draven didn’t have to postpone the mating ceremony any longer. Whether I was ready or not shouldn’t matter, except he was skeptical about me keeping any more secrets. I wonder what has become of Silver Moon and Alpha Thane now that his beloved son was dead. And Ailana. I miss her, but I fear that I’d never have the opportunity to see her again and it saddened me. Once the mating cer

“You both look good together. You know I didn’t think for a second that a man like Prince Draven will settle for a woman like you,” Lady Abigail said ‘you’ in the most demeaning way I’d ever heard anyone say it. She was sorting through a large drawer in an ancient house that was stacked with different royal attires. Each attire had its own history and she earlier explained that every incoming Luna got a chance to choose the regalia she wanted on her mating ceremony as opposed to the belief that a particular dress was passed from one queen to another.“Abigail, I need to apologize to you,” I started, but her cold laugh stopped me short. She stopped searching the drawer and turned around to face me. I chose to ignore her cynical look and continued “The other time I accused you…”She raised a hand to silence me “You have nothing to apologize for, Esmeray,” she stopped and sighed “Briana was my only daughter, and she was beautiful….” She started to reach into her garment pockets where she

Abigail had fallen on her knees and cried at my feet after that, but I didn’t fall for her crocodile tears, I knew better. She killed her own daughter and blamed Draven for what happened. What sort of mother is she? But I chose not to dwell too much on that and focus on preparing myself for the mating ceremony which was kicking off in less than ten minutes from now!The other royal luna’s of the noblemen in the Lycaon palace had taken up the responsibility of getting me prepared for the mating ceremony after I made it clear I didn’t want Abigail around me anymore. I’m not sure what gave me the courage to dish out orders but no one disobeyed or questioned them. If I was going to be acting the role of their Luna, it was better to stop showing any signs of weakness around them. I hadn’t seen Draven since he handed me over to Abigail two days ago, but I was eager to see him in the next few minutes. He’d been tied up with duties of his own and wrapping up preparations with the kinsmen. Af

Second chances are very rare, and some believe it to be impossible. It is a known fact that only those highly loved by the moon goddess were given second chances.After Zayden, I never hoped to have a mate because I didn’t want Mena to suffer the same things in the hands of another man. I was better off alone, but I’m sure the moon goddess is seated cross-legged and laughing at me right now. How is this possible?As my eyes slowly started to flip open, I was half expecting it to be a dream, but it wasn’t. It felt too real, and the scent still surrounded me, enveloping me in a cocoon of warmth. My hands tingled from where someone held me. The electric current traveled up my arms and went directly to my brain, making it hard for me to think.“You are awake,” his deep, rough voice held a little bit of concern, or is it my imagination? This man didn’t care for me, and there should be an explanation of what is going on right now. I snatched my arms away from his. He frowned, giving me a d
