Anthony's povOn the way back to the castle, my mind was consumed with the Alpha's decision to send Emilia to the palace.Indeed, from what I know of the king, he's not pleased because Klaus refused to marry Princess Cecilia. However, due to Alpha Klaus's prestigious status among the werewolves as the first alpha, the king has been tolerant of him. But now that Alpha Klaus has taken Emilia from Alpha Ron, who is currently trusted by the king, I worry about the king's future attitude toward Klaus.I pondered Klaus's predicament. Perhaps he's sending Emilia to the palace to regain the king's trust. But why does it have to be Emilia?That girl with the green eyes. Moon Goddess, who could have guessed my surprise? Almost from the moment I met her, I suspected she was the heir to the Borin family lineage. Emilia's face is almost identical to her mother's, Linda, except for those Borin family trademark eyes.Memories of that night many years ago flooded back to me. Mike Borin happily announ
Cecilia's pov".......You have no idea what kind of situation you've gotten yourself into," a man with red hair muttered, wearing a wizard-like black robe, his brown eyes flashing with malicious intent behind his glasses."Run! Don't mind this strange-looking wizard!" I heard my inner voice, but my feet just wouldn't move, and I watched helplessly as the man lifted my veil."Bastard!!! The hand that lifted my veil should be chopped off. Your eyes should be gouged out!!!" My anger ignited instantly. As the only princess, no one had dared to offend me like this before.I screamed furiously in my mind, but I couldn't do anything. I could only watch as he embraced my waist and planted his lips on my forehead amid my astonished gaze."Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!" I screamed crazily in my mind, feeling the dampness on my forehead, the flames of anger burning even brighter. But I still couldn't do anything, just like a piece of wood bewitched, watching as the man, after leaving his name in my ear, di
Ulysses's POVThe room was empty, filled only with bookshelves and glass vessels reflecting the light.I lay on the floor, surrounded by my manuscripts on magic. I stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling bored.So dull. Without Phoebe's voice, the whole magic castle seemed terribly quiet.The doorbell rang suddenly.I immediately sat up, ran to the fireplace, and settled down comfortably. With a snap of my fingers, a cup of fragrant tea appeared in my hand."Ulysses," the flames in the fireplace suddenly flared up, and Klaus's voice came through."Ah," I sighed disappointedly, thinking someone else was going to talk to me."Ulysses," Klaus's voice continued from the fireplace, and I lazily replied, "I'm here, Mr. Alpha. Your loyal friend Ulysses is here to listen to your troubles. Feel free to speak.""Ulysses!" Klaus's tone grew serious, "What have you done?! Why does Cecilia keep running to my castle? She's always asking about you!""Oh, Cecilia? Does she miss me?" I set down the tea
Cecilia's POV"Ah!" Eileen screamed."You dare to come back?" I grabbed the whip and exclaimed sharply, "Come out! Don't hide.""I'm not hiding."When that male voice sounded again, I looked around suspiciously. The bedroom was brightly lit, but I couldn't see the wizard anywhere."Your Highness," Eileen's trembling finger pointed to the crow, "Your Highness, do you see its eyes turning red?"I was suddenly startled and walked up to the crow.The crow was still tied to a long pole with a copper wire, its mouth stuffed with a large wad of cotton. But instead of its eyes being pitch black as they should have been, they were glowing red. I stared down at it with wide eyes.In an instant, I saw the rope around the bird's beak snap. It spat out the cotton from its mouth, and the copper wire binding it also broke. The black crow transformed into a white dove."Your Highness, it's been a long time," I stared in disbelief, finally realizing that the gems in my room couldn't resist his magic.
Emilia's POVI never imagined I would see Ron again in Klaus's castle, nor did I ever think I would have a day where I would dine at the same table as Ron."Please, esteemed guests, wait a moment. Alpha Klaus will join you shortly. Please be patient,"Anthony gracefully bowed before leaving me at the dining table, subject to the scrutiny of those sitting with me.In reality, I didn't understand why I was seated here. This dining hall wasn't where a slave like me belonged, but Anthony had merely instructed me to change into an elegant emerald green velvet gown without offering any explanation.I sat at one end of the long table, and the scents wafting through told me that only alphas were seated here. Their attire indicated they must be individuals of some status, and they exchanged knowing glances, occasionally casting their eyes to the empty seat opposite them. That was the position of the castle's owner, Alpha Klaus.Clearly, the master hadn't arrived yet, and the banquet hadn't beg
Emilia's POV"Two nights from now," Veronica said behind me, "you will have the king's attention."Veronica's voice was full of excitement, a stark contrast to her usually emotionless face. "The king will meet you in person, Emilia. Do you know how great an honor this is?"I didn't speak. Veronica's gaze seemed to accuse me of being ignorant."I understand, Veronica," I replied finally, sitting by the dressing table, staring at my expressionless face in the mirror.Veronica washed my cheeks with rose-infused water, giving my skin a rosy glow. Two maids brushed my long, thick hair with scented perfume, filling the room with fragrance.Every inch of my exposed skin was covered with a mixture of ground pearls applied by the maids. Soon, my skin shimmered softly under the lamplight."Your body," Veronica made me stand up, and with her sharp nails, she slowly slid over my skin. It felt like being crawled over by scorpions, and I couldn't help but tremble under her scrutiny."Your skin feel
Klaus’s POVEmilia was very afraid, even though she didn't say a word.Even without her speaking, in the dim night, I could still clearly see the changes on her face. I could always make her shiver, although I secretly hated that about myself.After I finished speaking, Emilia slowly removed the black cloak from her body.It was just the most common cloak worn by slaves in the manor, rough fabric, dull black. But when Emilia took it off, revealing her body, I suddenly realized it was like the finest black velvet, only used to showcase the most delicate, most precious gems.Emilia's face was turned aside, not looking at me, her eyelashes trembling, her hands awkwardly hugging her arms."... Hurry up," I hastily spoke, intending to explain that the time left was already very short, but the sudden tension in my throat made me swallow the rest of my words. Emilia always made me lose control, and I hated that.I frowned at Emilia's pale face. She was reluctant but eventually released her a
Emilia's POVWhen I woke up in the morning, Klaus was nowhere to be found in the bed. The empty space beside me held no trace of Klaus's warmth, only the marks on my body reminding me of what happened last night.It wasn't a dream; Klaus spared me.I sat there in a daze, fingers rubbing the soft sheets. Traces of dried liquid remind me of moist skin, entwined embraces, and my breakdown beneath those golden eyes.Oh, my moon goddess, I shamefully covered my head, but still couldn't block out the images from last night.How would Klaus look at me? A useless, inadequate slave? I touched my swollen eyes from crying, sorrowfully thinking. It wasn't my first time crying in front of Klaus, but it was the first time without any pretense, without any purpose, crying like a helpless child seeking help from a relied-upon adult.Last night's fear shattered me. I could endure Ron's abuse, endure beatings and heavy work, but could not tolerate using my body to please Klaus.I had already lost every
[Rose's P.O.V.]Thankfully, Jane finally agreed to go home. I thought the clothes and shoes looked great, but we were spending money like water. I just hoped that Edward would still treat me kindly when he found out.On our way back, Jane suggested that we refreshed ourselves somewhere. Dylan eventually kindly bought me some strawberry ice cream and got a cup of coffee for Jane. We thanked him and I took a sip of Jane's coffee but it tasted as bitter as my previous life.As we drove back to the pack, I finally felt more relaxed. The scenery was so beautiful that I felt like I was living in a fairytale. I suddenly remembered something."Jane, do you feel like there were some moments today when someone was staring at us?""Huh? Like when?""When we were shopping.""That's normal, Luna. It's most likely the shop assistants watching us.""It didn't feel like it. I could feel his gaze, but I didn't know where he was.""Oh Luna, I don't know what you're talking about but it's making my hair
[Jane's P.O.V.]"Jane, this is my credit card. Take Rose shopping."I was having breakfast in the restaurant when I met Alpha and Luna and the former gave me his credit card. This was bound to be a happy day. No female would say no to an all-paid-for shopping spree! And with a sister too. By then, I had already forgotten about Luna exposing my oral sex in public."Edward, aren't you coming?""Sorry, Babe. I have something important to do at work. Dylan will escort you."Luna pouted but I quickly grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the scene.I brought Luna to the front of the castle where a car was already waiting for us there. A big guy got out of the driver's seat and walked around to open the door for us. It was Dylan. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses to match his black uniform. His bulkiness made him look like a wall."Luna Rose, Gamma Jane, it's my honor to escort you.""Dylan, aren't you going to be hot in such a thick outfit?" Our Luna was always a curious baby."Luna,
[Patrick's P.O.V.]Luna shocked me again. I have heard some legends about the Werewolves of Chaos - they are powerful and terrifying beings - but never would I have thought they were real and had abilities that were so powerful.Fortunately, Werewolves of Chaos were very rare. Otherwise, our world would be in chaos. Although I believed Luna would never use her abilities to do bad things, I could only imagine what kinds of destruction they would bring if they fell into the wrong hands.After coming out of Alpha's office, I reported to him that I was going to find Diana after going home first.As soon as I stepped into my house, I heard an argument unfolding. Needless to say, it was between my little brother, Noah, and his lover from the Elven race.I did not mean to eavesdrop, but I heard the elf named Eve yell that my brother was becoming colder to her. My brother responded that she was a liar and I agreed with him. She had tricked him into sleeping with her, then got pregnant, and no
[Rose's P.O.V.]Soon after I gave my first time to Edward, we continued and Edward took me to heaven again and again until I finally had to stop because my legs had gone weak and our stomachs had started growling.Each time we ended a round, Edward would wrap me in his strong arms and look at me as if I were a piece of treasure. And I just knew that he loved me with all his heart, just as I loved him.My first time was with this man, the handsome boy I had met once when I was ten. He was the man I was meant to be with, and I had gone through so much to be with him. I willingly let him pleasure me again and again.My willingness also came with a hidden intention - I wanted to see if I would be able to activate any other abilities after mating with Edward. But this thought only took up a tiny part of my mind. I was willing to give my body, my mind, and my soul to him even without such intentions.We finally got out of bed, only to shower together. We rubbed body wash on each other which
[Edward's P.O.V.]I woke up in the middle of the night and saw my mate curled up next to me in the moonlight. She was getting a little cuddly.Although she was asleep, I saw a slight frown on her face. I couldn't tell if she was dreaming about something bad. After all, the amount of information that was revealed between the two of us yesterday was too much.When Rose and I found out that she had activated her ability, I was worried. Being able to know what other people were thinking was a scary ability to have, to say the least. Rose was also very upset because she was still not used to it. The amount of information she 'overheard' during the second half of the ceremony almost made her little brain explode.I had held her in my arms before we went to bed last night. I wasn't even in the mood to think about whether she could have sex with me anymore. She had seemed a little upset and helpless. So I patiently comforted her and told her to try to get used to having the ability, and if po
[Edward's P.O.V.]I saw Rose looking at me in surprise, but I didn't know what had happened.'Why is she looking at me like that? I only hoped that the ceremony would end soon. I can't wait any longer.'"Edward, what did you just say? You can't wait to have sex with me?" asked Rose to me when the guards started to gather around us."I didn't say anything just now!"I was very confused. I wanted to ask Rose what had happened because I seemed to have felt an extraordinary hot air burst out from her center. However, the other werewolves didn't seem to feel anything unusual. Perhaps I was thinking too much. Was it just a gust of hot wind just now?We didn't have time to communicate because the ceremony was still going on. The guards quickly surrounded and set up cover for us. We took off our clothes and turned into our wolves, Champion and Charlotte. I was once again reminded of Charlotte's beauty and uniqueness.When Champion and Charlotte reappeared in front of the crowd, the pack membe
[Edward's P.O.V.]When I was done with some temporary matters, I found my way back to Rose at the dinner party. She and Jane were standing in front of a round table and I quickly realized that it was Emily's table where she sat with a few of her best friends, and Emily's expression looked terrible right now."Rose, what happened?" I just wanted to make sure that my mate didn't suffer any losses thanks to Emily."Nothing much. I was just chatting with these ladies. They were looking forward to my ceremony."I kissed Rose in front of Emily. Her previous behavior had annoyed me, and I had yet to find a suitable reason to punish or expel her. After all, her father had coincidentally saved my grandfather's life in the past and the former had been given the privilege of clan merit. But that didn't mean that I wouldn't do anything bad to her, especially if she mistreated my Rose.By the end of the dinner, the area in front of the platform outside the castle was already packed with members of
[Rose's P.O.V.]I followed Edward down the stairs to the castle hall for the dinner before the ceremony. Eating during events such as these usually happened in the dining hall. But there were too many people and the dining hall didn't seem to have enough space to fit them all. So Alpha Leon relocated the dining area to the castle hall. It was also the first time I saw so many werewolves in the castle. When they saw us arrive, they stood up and showed their respect.Edward and I had a simple meal before he brought me to each table to do our round of greetings. I saw Lily come back from school to attend my Luna ceremony, but otherwise, most of the people here were unfamiliar faces. The only thing I knew about them was that they were the representatives of every werewolf family in the pack. There were men and women as well as the old and young. I simply kept smiling at them as a sign of friendliness while I greeted them.As we were nearing the end of our round of greetings, Edward was su
[Rose's P.O.V.]In the past two days, everyone had been preparing for my Luna ceremony. Edward said that according to tradition, this would be much grander than the welcoming ceremony. The castle would invite the family representatives of all the members of the pack to have dinner together before they witnessed my coronation together.When Edward and I went to the dining hall for breakfast in the morning, we bumped into Patrick who had just returned from somewhere. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was all smiles."Patrick, seems like you just came back from somewhere.""Yes, Luna. I was with Diana the whole of last night.""You're amazing, Patrick. What trick did you use?""Luna, I'm very sad that you actually think that I'm a person who takes advantage of others. I just hugged her to sleep. Although we kissed, we didn't do anything else.""Oh my God, is this still you, Pat?" Jane joined us. Her eyes were as wide as brass bells as if she didn't believe Patrick's words at
