“Do I really have to wear these?” I wriggled my aching feet on our way to the mall. So far, Scarlett was proving to be a darling. We have only spent ten minutes in each other’s company since breakfast and I can totally understand why Vadirr was smitten by her. She is a real one. After breakfast, Draven had some important meetings to attend and he told Smythe to take I and Scarlett to the mall for shopping. He made it clear the choice of clothes he wanted on me. No short or tight dresses, nothing revealing, with emphasis on ‘outfits befitting my new status'I was however glad when Scarlett volunteered to go with me. He’d not agreed to it on the spot, but eventually just nodded his head and handed Smythe his credit card. Now alone with Scarlett, I decided that I liked her within the first minute of our being together. She had a great sense of humor and her laughter reached her eyes, but she was pretty chatty and overly inquisitive. Since I got here, she’s the only one who didn’t lo

The last time I ever had a new outfit was during the feast of the moon when I turned eight. I still remembered the look on my mom’s face when she picked out that dress for me. She’d almost gone into tears rambling about how fast I was growing and how perfect the dress looked on me. ‘I bet this was made especially for you Ray,’ she’d told me. Even if I wasn’t exactly a fashionable kid, the look on my mom’s face made me fall in love with the dress. Every day until the war broke out, I admired the little green dress, counting the days till I got to wear it again. But it never came. My parents did the worse and I lived the rest of my life putting on rags that I picked out from the dump at Silver Moon. Ailana gave me some of her clothes, but I could never wear them at Silver Moon. Zayden found them on me and ripped them off my body, telling me how unworthy I was of the dresses. He went on to threaten Aila and we thought it best that she stopped giving me her clothes. In Silver Moon pack,

I opened my eyes and jerked up with a start, a loud gasp escaping my lips as I did. Hot sweat trickled down my forehead and my fingers grasped the blanket tightly around me. I was going to pull it away when I realized I was naked underneath. The room was dimly lit, and the door slightly ajar. I heard whispering but it was hard to make out any real words.I was in Prince Draven’s room, but the last thing I remember was fleeing his house when I saw him having sex with Heather. I remember the headache, Mena forcing herself out, and that’s it. How did I end up naked in Prince Draven’s bed?I heard the door close slowly and in comes Prince Draven. I clutched the blanket tighter to my chest even though I was sweating.“What happened?” I asked him, my voice coming out as a whisper. He didn’t respond, but rather lowered himself to the bed next to me while I moved away from him. Still, I could not shake off the effect his proximity had on me. My mind wandered to the scene I witnessed with him

“Esme,” I stifled a sob when I heard a familiar female voice, wiping my cheeks as I did but she’d already heard me crying. She pulled the blanket away from my face and sighed, looking worried. “What did he do?” she spoke softly with a voice full of concern.I shook my head and sat up slowly but froze when Scarlett unexpectedly pulled me in for a hug. I didn’t realize how much I needed it till she did. Aila was the only one who ever hugged me at Silver Moon, so it wasn’t something I was used to. To the others, I was just a filthy piece of shit. I wrapped my arms around her for a minute until I started to feel better, and when I pulled away, she still looked worried.“Esme,” she paused, studying my face “I know it’s not going to be easy being mated to a man like Draven. He doesn’t know how to love,” she picked her words carefully as she spoke, and I got the feeling that she wanted to say a whole lot more, but she was holding back “But whatever he said to you to make you like this, he di

After eating and taking a bath, I made up my mind to apologize to lady Abigail, but turned out Draven had other plans for me. “Where are we going?” I asked Smythe on our ride to Moon goddess knows where. I wish he’d just left me in the house with Scarlett, but Draven instructed him to fetch me and as he took another turn to the left, far away from the castle to deserted land, I started to get worried. Draven had told me clearly that he wasn’t going to hit me and that he could punish me many other ways, but he’d wanted to torture me the night I came to the Lycaon place, and how can I forget his threat about what he’d do to me if I messed this up? What other evils had I said in my subconscious? What did I tell him? And how did I know about Abigail’s missing child? I was possessed. Not mad. I initially thought that voice in my head was the early signs of madness, but maybe I was possessed by an evil spirit, and Prince Draven sensed it. Smythe stopped at an open field and I was scared w

Heather cracked her knuckles noisily, glaring at me as she did. I moved one step back when she started stalking towards me, and then she broke into a run, throwing her fists into my face as soon as she was close enough. Her fists landed on my left eye and I staggered back, clutching my hurting eye as darkness temporarily clouded my vision.Was this a set up? Did Draven bring his mistress here to beat me up because he couldn’t do so himself? There were other female warriors that could train me but he chose Heather to do so, and her harsh glare didn’t look like someone who had the intentions of training me. It looked like she wanted to kill me.I staggered as I tried to regain my balance “I wasn’t ready,”“That’s no excuse, you have to be ready every time,” she hissed. I was going to respond, but she lounged at me again, kicking me in my stomach and before I could recover, her fists collided with my jaw, sending me flying in the air. My back hit the floor and I groaned rolling over on m

When I got back to Prince Draven’s suite over an hour later, I spent a long time in the shower reminiscing on what happened and crying my eyes out. I felt terrible all over. My wounds were starting to heal but I wasn’t hurting because of them. I hate my life. I have blamed my parents for what they did to put me in this situation for too long but maybe it’s time I blamed myself more. My father never wanted me and he was right not to want me. It’s like he knew I was a curse, he knew that nothing good will come out of my existence. Here I am, a pathetic looser, one who does not deserve to be alive or in the Lycaon place, sleeping in the Prince’s bed. I’m good for nothing and I should have told him that when he brought up this ridiculous idea to pretend as his mate. I haven’t been formally announced as his mate and look at what I have to deal with. Heather was a better match for him. Why didn’t he just marry her and make her his bride? She had it all, the looks, the strength, the respec

“You need to stop. I think you’ve had enough,” Scarlett warned, but I laughed and waved it off, gulping down another glass of wine at a go. That last cup took me from tipsy to drunk.I have never been drunk in my entire life. The only time I ever took alcohol, Aila had made sure I didn’t take so much. I’d been tipsy but not drunk. I remember the events of that day all too well and how much work I had to do the next day when one of the beta’s daughters at Silver Moon reported us to Zella. It was my eighteenth birthday, but Zella didn’t care about any of that. I was given two times as much work as I normally did but I made sure not to tell Aila about it, or else she’ll blame herself and have one of her usual fallouts with Zella because of me. “I’m fine,” I smiled at her, laughing hysterically at the doubtful expression on her face. Big Matt was staring at me too, his usual smile on his face. But everything around me started to spin, and I knew we needed to leave fast or else I make a

“Mommy, Darren says I’m not going to be king,” three-year-old Dayton told me teary-eyed “I want to be king like Daddy,” I glanced at Draven for help. He smiled and picked Dayton up, pecking him on the cheeks first “Oh but you are a king my little man, even better than your daddy,” “But I’m older,” Darren argued. The twin boys were exactly like their father and it made me jealous sometimes. They had his hair color, same eye color, same facial structure and they were already starting to sound like him at this tender age. I carried them for seven months! And I pushed both of them out of my vagina! Yet they didn’t look anything like me. A normal lycan or werewolf pregnancy lasts about six months but these two took their time before deciding it was time to face the world. “Yes you are, by ten minutes,” Draven told Darren. Though the twins were identical, it was not hard for me to tell them apart. I was gifted you see. Draven sometimes struggled to know who is who. “Can there be two king

My face was covered with Draven’s kisses by the time we made it to his former chambers and my stomach hurt from too much laughing. Our things had been moved to the King’s chambers and I didn’t realize how much I’ll miss this place until we got there. The King’s chambers were many miles away, so it was easier to come here. He dropped me gently once we were inside, and I moved round, noticing how lonely it felt.“Why can’t we just stay here?” I asked.“Because it is no longer befitting for a King and his Luna,” Draven pulled my hands and hauled me against his chest “I bet you will like the King’s suite better,” he assured me.“It holds a lot of memories,” I turned back to where a huge portrait of Draven used to be to find the wall empty.“We will make more memories in the King’s quarters,” he winked at me and my heart fluttered again. “Besides, you can always come here to spend some time if you please. There’s going to be a routine maintenance every year until our first son is of age to

ESMERAYIt’s happening! Hard as it is to believe, it is actually happening! If I had the power to, I would have loved to freeze this moment and bask in the joy I feel for just a little bit longer. I wonder why the goddess didn’t give me that gift. My beast howled in my head in excitement as I said my vows and took my oath, swearing my allegiance to the entire kingdom and my loyalty to the people, and my new role.A cut was made on I and Dravens right hands, and we shook hands, making sure there was exchange of blood. A charge of electricity flowed from my head to toe as we did, and this wasn’t the usual electric current I feel whenever Draven as much as touched me, it was different, making me feel even more powerful. Draven occasionally reached me through the mind link to make sure that I was okay, and I assured him I never felt better which was true. My beast felt more powerful, and my senses more alert.Soon after, we were crowned and pronounced king and Queen, and the crowd went on

DRAVEN“Where is Duron?” I asked Vadirr who was hovering behind me.“Right here,” Duron answered, casually walking into the room where I was getting ready to join the waiting guests. I have waited for this day for a long time, worked hard for it. My father had told me several stories about what to expect during the coronation and what and what not to do. Ever since I was born, I was groomed for this day. But with just a few minutes left before I am finally crowned king, I didn’t feel the joy that I thought I would.I knew why I felt the way that I did, but I convinced myself that I could live with it. Esmeray Grayson, the woman that would be my Luna Queen didn’t love me. The sparks between us had intensified more than ever. In the last two days, we have made love even more than the way we had in the past. She still reacted to me the way she usually would. I only had to look at her to get her blushing really hard. She squirms in delight whenever I called her beautiful. I heard the soun

By the next day, I had made up my mind on what to do. I took a fresh shower, washed my hair and put on a particular lingerie he’d complimented once. I covered myself in a robe and waited for him. I was not sure if he was going to come home or not, and I was not going to call his office phone to find out. But I made up my mind that if he didn’t get home by nightfall, I’d go to his office with hopes to find him there.I was feeling unusually nervous, so I picked up a book and started to flip through it. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours, and frustration started to kick in. I lost the courage I had mustered and put the book away. There was no point, maybe I should just give up this ridiculous act. I’d just started to untie my robe when I started to feel his presence. Shortly after, I heard the front door open and my heart pounded loudly in my chest.I tightened the robe around me when he entered. As usual, he didn’t spare me a glance or acknowledge my presence in the room. He w

I’d tried to talk to Ailana after that, but she decided to hide in her room again and wouldn’t let me in, so I thought it best to give her some time to come to terms with it. She wasn’t the only one hiding apparently. Duron too did not show face for dinner and when I asked about him, I was told he’d left the palace unannounced.After my first shift, I found out that my visions were much more clearer and didn’t come with their usual headaches. That night, I decided to visit the oracle as I’d intended to do so a long time now but the events of the last days had not allowed me the time to.Smythe took me to her and I found Cordelia seated at her usual spot on the floor. She looked up as soon as I entered, a wide smile plastered on her face.“Luna,” she greeted cheerfully, quickly rising to her feet. I smiled back at her and looked around her room. There had been a few changes since the last time I came here, and I told her. She nodded her agreement and pointed a chair for me to sit but I

ESMERAYOn the seventh day, we laid the departed to rest. Draven had fully recovered and immersed himself in repairing the damages and compensating the families of the bereaved. He also made sure that those who had invaded his territory were apprehended. None of them went away scot free. Even those that fled, he’d sent trackers to find them and judgment was passed on them.The members of Silver Moon pack were sold off as slaves to other packs. I didn’t interfere with Draven’s decision when he passed it or try to plead on their behalf because I knew most of them probably deserved it. There were a few innocent ones though, but I could only hope that the goddess herself brings them goodwill in their new journey in life. If they were indeed good people, their innocence would vindicate them.Draven, however, avoided me like a plague since he left the hospital bed the same day that he awoke. I watched him from a distance in deep conversation with the new kingmaker and Vadirr by his side. No

DRAVENI cupped my erection as my mate did a little striptease for me. She looked absolutely beautiful and dangerously sexy in her underwear. She was shy, but with every second that passed came a little bit of confidence. She smiled at me, and her smile grew into laughter, but she stopped suddenly and started to get into her clothes hastily. Her smile was suddenly replaced by a look of fear, of worry. I watched her get into her clothes, wishing she would not stop her little show, but I started to get alarmed too at the worry on her face.My heart broke into a thousand many pieces when she started to cry, weeping like a bride who just got jilted at the alter. She was uncontrollable. A woman in distress. I reached for her hands and tried to touch her, but the more I tried to reach her, the farther away she drifted. My heart was pounding in my chest as I watched her drift away from me. “Esmeray,” I gasped, my eyes fluttering open immediately. I tried to sit up, but my whole body felt

“Drop it,” Ailana ordered her father whose gun dropped noisily to the floor immediately she said those words. Her face had a seriousness I’d not seen in them before. This isn’t exactly the type of reunion one would wish to have with ones father.“You are not going to kill your father, are you, child?” Thane’s eyes were on his daughter’s fierce ones.“You are not my father,” Ailana argued “You were never my father, never have, and never will be. I know you never wanted a girl child. The only reason you tried to like me was because you started to realize your perfect son wasn’t so perfect after all,”“What are you talking about Aila? You know you were my favorite. Zayden was a fool, which is why I was going to put you up against him for the alpha seat. You were better than him in every aspect,” Thane reached to touch Aila’s arm but she flinched and pressed the gun tighter into his forehead.“Aila-“ I stopped when a lone tear dropped from Aila’s eye. Her lips were clasped tightly. I didn
