His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 9: Seduction
Sadie’s POVWithout a word, Arlo removed his shirt and tossed it onto the smooth floor. I stared in disbelief.His chest was magnificent, chiseled and muscular. I swallowed hard.I’d never seen a man’s naked chest this clearly before. I’d never been this close to a half—naked man. A rush of emotions ripped through me: curiosity, shyness, fascination.“Why so shy?” he asked softly.“I’m not,” I snapped back. I didn’t want him to think I was some sort of innocent child. And I certainly didn’t want him to know I’d never seen a man’s chest like this before.He chuckled softly. His eyes flitted to the blanket that was practically wrapped up to my chin. “Let me see you,” he said in a sexy growl.I bit my lower lip. I was immobilized by fear of the unknown. I couldn’t just take off the blanket.He tilted his head to the side and raised an eyebrow.Then he walked around to the side of the bed. He held out his hand.“I won’t bite. I promise,” he said, his voice like liquid. I gingerly placed

Sadie’s POVBefore I could even react, I felt a warm, wet sensation on my chest. It took me by surprise. It was an unfamiliar sensation. I didn’t really understand what was happening. I glanced down and saw Arlo’s head at my chest, his mouth on my breast.He was sucking my nipple!My face turned bright red. Of course I’d heard about this. I wasn’t completely naïve. It had just never happened to me and it made me feel a little embarrassed. But as he continued kissing my nipple, the sensation intensified. I watched and was overwhelmed by both the sight of his mouth on my breast and the feeling of his lips on my nipple.I felt something warm and wet flowing between my legs. I couldn’t help. It trickled down my legs.Oh my moon goddess! Would it soak the sheets?What was that wetness? Why was it coming from…from down there?What was happening? His hand reached up and kneaded my other breast. I didn’t fully understand. But this feeling washed over me. It was a longing.I longed for somethi

Sadie’s POVI changed into a beautiful gown given to me by a maid. Then I smoothed my hair and put a bit of makeup on. I was going to meet the Lycan King, after all, and I wanted to look presentable.A warrior was waiting for me at my door. He escorted me into a luxurious office. The walls were lined with books and documents. I ascertained that it was an important place – a place where the Royal Family conducted important business.There was a fireplace with a cozy fire blazing in the corner. There was a long mahogany table in the center. And to my surprise, the Lycan King, the Lycan Queen and the Lycan Prince were all present.The Lycan King looked at me with authority. The Queen’s face, however, was full of disdain as she eyed me up and down.I didn’t know what to do, so I just stood at the end of the table.“This is her?” the Queen scoffed.“It is,” Prince Griffin nodded. “This is Sadie Ambrose, daughter of the late Night Shadow Pack Alpha, Abram Ambrose.”“She’s the one who pass

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 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

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
Last Updated : 2024-10-29His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 15: Princess Delilah
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
Last Updated : 2024-10-29His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 16: Jealousy
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

His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 20: The Maid’s Seduction
Sadie’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.”
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 19: Glorious Food
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
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 18: Scraps Off the Floor
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
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 17: Miss Meredith
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
