“She is my Luna!” The Lycan Prince excitedly took my hand and raised it high, announced loudly and proudly. At that moment, I thought I was finally free. Ever since my Alpha father died, everyone I once thought cared about me has betrayed me. My mate rejected me for my stepsister. My stepmother forced me to drink wolfsbane, causing me to lose my wolf. My father’s Beta slandered me, leading to my demotion to a maid...This was my last chance to escape. If I could be chosen... “She’s not fit to be Luna!” my half-sister Delphine objected. “She has no wolf!” For Lycans and werewolves, not having a wolf is a disgrace. Just when I was wondering what to do, a powerful Lycan aura filled the room as a man walked in. The Prince respectfully referred to him as “Uncle”. So, he was the most powerful Lycan of all time, the King’s brother. His gaze was fixed on me as he said in a deep voice, “I choose her.” He was referring to me. “From this day forth, she is mine.” Dear Moon Goddess, can I trust him?
View MoreSadie’s POVI cowered in the dark pantry.I was so terrified of being caught, I could barely breathe. I heard the door to the kitchen creak open. Then I heard a voice come from the kitchen doorway.“Your Highness,” the voice said, respectfully. It was a female voice and assumed it was a maid. “I apologize. I didn’t know you were here. I heard noises and I just came to make sure no one had snuck into the kitchen.”“You didn’t know I was in here?” Arlo asked, a clear note of skepticism in his voice.“Well,” the maid chuckled softly.I heard her footsteps enter the kitchen. “Truthfully, yes I did. I’ve just been waiting, mustering up enough courage to follow you in here.”More footsteps. She must be really close to him now, I thought. He didn’t respond. She continued.“It’s just that, well, I really admire you, Your Highness.” Her voice carried a hint of flirtation. “I’ve watched you fight outside the training ground. You’re magnificent. And your muscles…they’re mesmerizing. So strong.”
Sadie’s POVThe moment I realized it was Arlo, scenes from our time in bed together flashed through my mind.His lips. His warm, wet mouth. His muscular, naked chest. The heat of his skin on mine. His tongue exploring my….My face turned bright red and I broke our embrace, taking a step back from him.Arlo could see my cheeks had turned red.“What are you thinking about, little wild cat?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. His tone was teasing, as though he could read my mind.“Nothing,” I said quickly.“Is that so?” he replied.I was embarrassed. Then my stomach growled loudly, making me feel even more self-conscious.Arlo chuckled softly. Then he reached out and scooped me in his arms. He started walking down the hall. My feet dangled in the air.“Wait, what are you doing?” I asked, confused. Where was he taking me? He turned left, into a hallway I didn’t recognize.“Shh,” he said. “Just relax.”He was taking me into a bedroom! To finish what we’d started!I panicked. I’d lost myself tha
Sadie’s POVI was walking back to my room after an exhausting day of etiquette lessons. The first lesson was the easiest. From there, it had all gone downhill. I’d been given a good education in my pack, but there was a lot I didn’t know. My head throbbed and my legs were so sore, I had to steady myself with my hand on the wall as I walked.Miss Meredith had been ruthless: Lycan Roya history, how to properly address the hired help, Luna etiquette. It was all unfamiliar to me and she scolded me whenever I made a mistake. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, she gave me a three hour long lesson in ballroom dance. It had been grueling! I’d done my best, but Miss Meredith’s stern, condescending demeanor had taken its toll on me.Now, finally, I was allowed to go back to my room. But my stomach growled angrily.I was starving. Throughout the day, I considered sneaking some food and hiding it in my dress. But I’d been banned from eating and I was terrified of getting into
Sadie’s POVDelilah’s words made me feel uncomfortable.I didn’t share his bed. The Prince’s face went blank.“Can’t you see, Griffin?” Princess Delilah said. “She doesn’t deserve you! She’s a slut and everyone knows it!”“Enough,” Griffin said, his voice tight.“No,” she shook her head. “You need to hear this. She’s a whore. And her pack told everyone. You should hear the rumors around the palace! Everyone’s whispering, Griffin. They say you’ve taken a slut for a Luna! It’s embarrassing!”“I said enough,” Griffin snapped.“She tried to seduce her father’s beta, for crying out loud!” Princess Delilah was making no effort to hide her disdain for me. She spat out her words and scowled at me. My cheeks burned red. Everyone at the palace knew? They were whispering about me?“Stop!” Prince Griffin yelled. This took Delilah by surprise. She snapped her mouth shut. “Stop it with the jealousy, Delilah,” Prince Griffin warned. “I don’t want to hear any more of it. Sadie is my fiancée. She’s n
Sadie’s POV“It’s her, Your Highness,” one of the maids replied.“Are you sure?” Delilah asked, scanning me again with her eyes. “Because she doesn’t look like much, if you ask me.”The maids giggled at the insult. They were clearly enjoying the situation. They all had smug smiles on their faces.“She’s the one,” they confirmed.“Huh,” Delilah retorted, her hands still on her hips. Then she pressed her lips together and scowled at me.I didn’t understand. Why was the princess being so mean? Was it jealousy? Was she jealous because I was going to be Luna? But that didn’t make any sense. She was a princess! She was Lycan royalty! Even if I did become Prince Griffin’s Luna, she would still hold a higher rank than me.Why would she be jealous of me?Delilah narrowed her eyes then. She glanced behind me, at my unmade bed, the blankets still askew.Her face changed. Her eyes grew wide.“You slept here last night?” she asked, her voice high and tight.“She did, Your Highness,” one of the mai
Sadie’s POVThe warrior closed the door behind me. Alone in my room, I went and sat stiffly on the bed. I smoothed out the silk duvet beside me, afraid to relax. I was worried that at any moment, Arlo would come through my door.Eventually, I washed up and changed for bed. But I tossed and turned all night. Any sound had me bolting upright. What was that? Was it him? Had he come to finish what we’d started earlier?Morning came and I woke up on the soft bed. I squinted against the sunlight streaming in through my window.I glanced around the room.He hadn’t come.Arlo hadn’t come to see me last night.There was a light knock on the door and the head maid peeked her head in. Seeing that I was awake, she came in, the other maid in tow behind her.“Miss Sadie. We’ll run your bath and help you dress,” she smiled at me.A bath? That was the last thing I wanted. I remembered the baht from the night before when they’d practically scrubbed my skin right off. I politely declined a bath.She pa
Arlo’s POVI sauntered into my brother’s office.“I need to talk to you, Cullen,” I said, fixing my eyes on my brother.“Of course, Arlo. Take a seat,” King Cullen said, waving at the table.Ferrara stood.“I’ll have a maid send in some coffee,” she said, her voice dry. Then she left the room without another word.I took a seat. There was a plate of sweets on the table and I helped myself to one.“To what do I owe the pleasure,” King Cullen asked, raising his eyebrows in an amused manner.“The girl is mine,” I declared firmly. I casually bit into the cookie, then I leaned back casually in my chair.“I had a feeling that’s why you came to see me,” King Cullen said. “That, or you caught word we were having sweets,” he teased.My brother knew me well so he knew my soft spot for sweets.“Please,” he said, gesturing at the sweets. I took another, then he sighed deeply. “I know you’ve claimed the girl, Arlo,” he said. “But I’m afraid it’s not that simple. There are bigger things at play her
Sadie’s POVThe two Lycans stayed like that, their eyes locked on one another.I didn’t understand! How had things escalated to this point? And so quickly? They looked like they were about to fight.But over what?Over me?Why though? They were giving me the false impression that I was somehow important. Important enough to fight over?Yet, at the same time, they were treating me like an object.No one had asked me what I wanted.They growled again.I couldn’t believe this! It was so ridiculous. There was no reason for them to fight. Even the thought of them locked in this standoff made me anxious. If they actually fought…My heart hammered in my chest. There was nothing I could do. If they were going to fight, I couldn’t stop them. I knew better than to get between two strong werewolves in a fight. Especially wolves with so much power and authority.Just then, though, Arlo smirked. He chuckled softly, as though he’d just heard a childish joke. A half-smile curled on his lips and he l
Sadie’s POVThe King dismissed Prince Griffin and I. As we left, I felt the Queen’s glare on my back. She was not happy that the king had declared me Luna. But there didn’t seem to be anything she could do about it.Prince Griffin and I left the room together. I didn’t know where we were going, but I fell into step beside him. He said nothing as we traversed the long halls of the palace.I felt a bit awkward as we walked down the palace hallway. I was confused. When I’d first connected with the stone at the Luna Selection, the Prince had declared me as his Luna. For a brief moment, my heart had soared! But Luna Emma had stepped forward and told him that I didn’t have a wolf. Perplexed, he’d rescinded and rejected me on the spot.But now?I was apparently going to be his Luna again? Why though? Nothing has changed? The reason he’d rejected me in the first place was still there. I didn’t have a wolf.I glanced at him as we walked. His face had an easy-going look to it. I couldn’t help b
Sadie’s POV“The Lycan Prince will be coming to our pack soon to choose his Luna,” my Alpha father said sternly at the breakfast table. “Reject Karter and focus on getting ready for the Luna selection.”Karter was my mate and I love him. “A liar like that is unworthy of my daughter,” My father added with disapproval. He was an intimidating Alpha, tall and muscular, with piercing, stern eyes. Most importantly, he despised Karter.“He’s not deceitful, Daddy,” I said, averting my eyes from his powerful gaze. My voice was small and quiet. “I don’t understand why you hate him so much.”“You have an obligation to bring glory to our family!” my father snapped. “Don't be obstinate, Sadie. I won’t stand for it!” I glanced up at him. He glared at me. My heart hammered in my chest. I didn’t want to enter the Luna Selection. I didn’t want to become the Lycan Prince’s Luna. I tried to reason with my father but he wouldn’t listen. I crossed my arms over my chest. “No,” I said firmly, glaring
