His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 9: King Cullen
Griffin’s POVThe maids greeted me at the door, taking my coat. “Did you have a nice trip, your highness?” one of the maids asked. But I waved her off. I was in no mood for pleasantries.The image of Sadie, her hand on the Sacred Stone, the ancient runes floating in the air accosted my mind. We had found her. After months of searching, discarding one she-wolf after another, we’d finally found the she-wolf that could awaken the stone. I needed to tell my father immediately. He would be overcome with joy. But there’s one problem. A serious one, at least for Lycans.Turns out, she was wolfless, a twist I hadn’t seen coming. I wasn’t sure how my father would react to that particular news. But I was eager to find out. I swung open the doors to my father’s office and sure enough, he was there, sipping his nightly bourbon and puffing on a cigar. “Son,” he greeted me as I entered, his face lighting up. “You’ve returned?”“Yes,” I confirmed, taking a seat at the desk. “And what news do

Sadie’s POVMaid Celeste chatted happily with me as she led me to the guest room. She told me a few things about the palace. There was a lake out back and a wonderful rose garden. There was also a tennis court, a horse stable, and several walking paths that wound through the estate. We wove our way through several hallways and up a spiral staircase. Everything was white marble and it gleamed. The palace was unlike anything I’d ever seen, and I hadn’t even seen a quarter of it. “And this,” she smiled, stopping in front of a door, “is your room.”She opened the door and I gasped. The word ‘luxurious’ didn’t even start to describe it. A large four-poster bed sat in the middle of the room, with a cherry oak wardrobe and long beside it. Long, elegant silk drapes covered the windows. “Let me run you a bath, dear. I’m sure you’d love a nice soak in the tub.”She was right. I was filthy from my time in the dungeon. I could even smell my own stench, and I could only imagine what my hair l

Sadie’s POV“Oh my goddess, I… I’m so sorry,” I stammered, my voice finally returning as I quickly looked away, shame flooding through me. How could I have gotten the wrong room? What was I even thinking, wandering the palace alone at night? This wasn’t just any palace. This was the Lycan Palace. That realization made me even more anxious. I’d never seen two people kiss like that before. And she… she was completely naked! This was so far outside anything I’d ever experienced, I didn’t even know how to process it. “I’m really, really sorry,” I managed to say, swallowing hard to steady my voice. “I was just… uh, I was hungry. I was looking for the kitchen.” As I tried to gather enough strength to stop trembling and make a quick exit, a deep voice cut through the silence. “Wrong room,” the man scoffed playfully. “Although we have some pretty tasty treats in here if you want to stick around.”The naked woman balked at his words. Then she looked at him imploringly, shook her head, and

Sadie’s POVI tried to push myself up, but his broad left hand shot out and effortlessly pinned my wrist above my head. I let out a frustrated grunt, glaring at him. Who was this man? I raised my leg in an attempt to kick him, but his right hand caught my ankle with ease. His calloused palm brushed over my calf, slowly moving upward, sending an involuntary moan spilling from my lips. Damn it! He had me completely pinned to the bed like it was nothing. What made it worse—so much worse—was the way every inch of skin his hand touched seemed to ignite, trembling with sensations I’d never experienced before. The heavy scent of red wine filled my nose, making me feel almost lightheaded. I didn’t understand the scent. Where was it coming from? It was pungent and sweet, intoxicating. I inhaled sharply. I wanted to smell it forever. What was happening? I’d just accidentally walked in on a naked woman kissing this man, and now he had me pinned to the bed. Was this how the Royal Lycan Famil
Last Updated : 2024-10-24His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 13: A Morning with the Maids
Sadie’s POVI woke up startled the next morning. Where was I? I clutched at the unfamiliar blankets, disoriented for a moment. Then I remembered…I was in the Royal Lycan palace. I opened my eyes to sunlight streaming through the window and rolled over. “Hello!”What the? My room was filled with maids, all of them staring at me. I bolted upright, clinging onto the blankets at my chin. One of them stepped forward. “Good morning, Miss Sadie. I’m Maid Gloria. No need to be startled.”I noticed that each of the maids held a beautiful gown. They had clearly been waiting for me to wake up. As the daughter of an alpha, I was used to having maids. But never this many. And never ones so devoted. It made me feel a bit uncomfortable to be waited on by so many people. “Good morning,” I said awkwardly, flashing them an uneasy smile. Maid Gloria smiled back, but none of the others said a thing. They just stared at me with suspicious eyes. It made me feel even more uneasy. “Well go on,” Maid Glo

Sadie’s POVIt was a long walk through the winding halls to the King’s office. Maid Celeste stood outside the door, motioning for me to enter. “He’s waiting,” she whispered. “King Cullen doesn’t like to be kept waiting.”I entered the office, trying to quell the nerves storming up inside me. I tried to hide my trembling hands and noticed that Prince Griffin was there, too. The King was sitting in a high-back chair. Prince Griffin was standing in front of him. I walked in and glanced at Prince Griffin. He didn’t look at me though. The King was everything I thought he’d be: regal and imposing with a strong air of authority. I bowed respectfully. The King gave me a slight nod, signalling for me to rise. I carefully moved my way over the Prince and stood beside him, awaiting the King’s further instructions. “So you’re the one who can awaken the stone?” the King asked in a measured voice. Then he clicked his tongue. I didn’t know if I was supposed to reply or not, so I simply nodded.

Sadie’s POVBeta Joshua left the room to deliver the King’s message. But Luna?They were accepting me as Luna, even though they thought I didn’t have a wolf? I was stunned. Prince Griffin was silent, but I noticed he was fidgeting with his shirt. He seemed very uncomfortable. He didn’t want me. I could feel it, sense it. He didn’t want me to be his Luna. The king’s joy was in complete opposition to the stoic way Prince Griffin was behaving. He wouldn’t even look at me. Was it because he thought I didn’t have a wolf? Was that the reason he didn’t want me? If that was the case, it was only a matter of time before I could assuage his concerns. Soon enough, the suppressant would wear off and I could show him my wolf. If that was really his only concern.“You will begin your Luna training at once,” the King informed me, his eyes still ablaze with happiness. “Training?” I asked with trepidation. This was all happening so fast. I was…going to be the Lycan Prince’s Luna? I was going to b
Last Updated : 2024-10-24His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 16: An Awkward Luncheon
Sadie’s POVWhat was I supposed to do? I was speechless as I stood there, staring at the ground. My cheeks were so hot I felt like you could roast a marshmallow on them. Prince Arlo, Prince Griffin’s uncle. And Princess Delilah, Prince Griffin’s sister. Which meant…Princess Delilah was Prince Arlo’s niece. How had this happened? How, on my very first night in the Lycan Royal Palace, had I stumbled upon one of its deepest, darkest secrets. Prince Griffin’s uncle and his sister were…involved. I didn’t dare lift my head to meet the gazes of Prince Arlo or Princess Delilah. The Prince led me to the table and we all took our seats. I tried to focus on my meal, trying to appear calm, but my heart raced. I wasn’t sure how long I could keep up the act. I’d seen something I shouldn’t have seen, and they both knew it. I prayed to the Moon Goddess for some sort of guidance. I had no idea what to do!I felt the Princess’s fiery glare from across the table, sharp enough to cut me clean in

Sadie’s POV“Griffin, can you please leave me and Delilah alone for a moment?” I asked. His face fell and he shook his head.“Why?”“It’s personal,” I told him. I wasn’t afraid of Princess Delilah anymore. When she found out what I was going to do, she would no longer be a threat to me.“I don’t want to leave you. Not even for a minute,” Prince Griffin said, squeezing my hands. My heart fluttered at his words. He was so different now that we were confirmed mates. Perhaps this side of him had always been there, he’d just been holding back because he wasn’t sure about us. But now that he was sure, he didn’t need to restrain himself any longer.“Please,” I said to him. “It will only take us a moment.”He leaned in and kissed my forehead. “I can’t deny you anything,” he sighed, his breath hot on my forehead. “Take your time, my love. I’ll be waiting right outside the door.”Then he rose from the bed and strode right past his sister. As soon as the door clicked shut, Princess Delilah came
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 39: Mates
Sadie’s POVPrincess Delilah stormed into the room. She took one look at me and her brother sitting closely together on the bed and her eyes flew open in shock.“What are you doing?” she demanded.“Sadie is wounded. I’m healing her,” Prince Griffin said as though licking someone’s wounds were a perfectly natural occurrence.Princess Delilah must have known I was back at the palace. Why else would she be in here? I didn’t know how much she knew though. Did she know that Prince Griffin, her own brother, had saved me?I didn’t know what to do. Princess Delilah narrowed her eyes, giving me a threatening look. She was trying to intimidate me.“Why are you here?” Prince Griffin asked, his voice dry. “This is my personal bedroom, Delilah. You have no right just barging in like this.”“I have every right,” she replied haughtily. “I demand to speak to Sadie at once.”She stood, her hands on her hips, glaring at me. I shuddered. Prince Griffin didn’t know yet that his sister was behind all of t
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 38: Healing
Sadie’s POVI felt Prince Griffin’s lips hovering just inches from mine. Instinctively, I tried to pull back, but his broad, warm hand slid to my waist, holding me firmly in place.His touch was gentle yet resolute as he guided me back onto the bed, his movements deliberate and unhurried. The intensity in his gaze burned like a roaring flame, locking onto me with a heat that made my breath catch.I wasn’t sure what he was going to do. All I could do was wait, my entire body on fire in anticipation. Then, his soft, moist lips brushed delicately over the wound on my collarbone.His lips were electric. “Mm…” A sound escaped my lips before I could stop it, a quiet moan born of pure instinct. Had I just made that sound? I couldn’t believe I did! My cheeks flushed and embarrassed, I pressed my lips together tightly, determined not to make another sound.Turning my head to the side, I avoided looking at Griffin’s dangerously handsome face. Instead, I choose to focus on his arms braced on eit
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 37: Lycan Saliva
Sadie’s POVPhysical intimacy?My face flushed at the words. I wasn’t sure what he meant, but I had a few guesses. This was really what the physician had recommended. That Prince Griffin and I become…physically intimate with one another. “What exactly do you mean?” I couldn’t help but ask, my voice tinged with both curiosity and apprehension.“Take off your clothes,” Griffin said seriously.For a moment, I thought he was joking. He couldn’t be serious. He couldn’t honestly expect me to undress myself in front of him. I’d never been naked in front of man before. Surely, he was just kidding, trying to lighten the serious mood. But the unwavering look on his face told me he was doing no such thing.In fact, his expression told me there was nothing funny about this, not to him. “But I’m injured… I can’t—” I stammered. My body was a mess. It was covered in bruises and whip marks. This wasn’t exactly the way I imagined my body would look the first time I exposed it to a man. Even if I
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 36: Two Possibilities
Sadie’s POVMy wolf?My mind flashed back to the room at the whorehouse where I’d been tortured. For a brief moment, Magenta had appeared to protect me. She’d tossed the rogue off of me and my heart had swelled at the sound of her voice. But the moment had been fleeting. As quickly as Magenta appeared, she vanished again. I’d been frantic, desperate for her to stay with me. But she needed time. Yes, that’s what Magenta had said.Prince Griffin’s sharp voice broke through my thoughts. “How did you sense your first mate?”“My wolf felt him,” I replied cautiously. I found his question a little odd, but he obviously had somehow found out about my wolf.“So you do have a wolf?” Griffin pressed, his gaze piercing. I averted my eyes. I could tell what he was thinking. If I had a wolf, why didn’t I tell him? But that was the problem. I couldn’t tell him before. And my inability to tell him had been one of my biggest struggles here at the castle. It was also the reason Prince Griffin was disap
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 35: Back at the Palace
Sadie’s POVWe drove back to the palace and when we got there, Prince Griffin opened the door and lifted me out of the car. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he carried me back through the palace door. I wasn’t sure where he was taking me, but I soon recognized the familiar pictures hanging on the wall of his corridor.Inside his room, he gently placed me on the bed and immediately called for the royal physician. Moments later, the physician burst into the room, his medical bag in hand.“What happened?” the physician asked, his eyes wide at the fragile state of me.“She was tortured,” Prince Griffin said. “Examine her at once.”The physician nodded and approached me. He did his examination as carefully as he could, but even the soft touch of his hands made me grit my teeth in agony.“Here love, take this,” he said with sympathetic eyes. “It’s for the pain.” He placed a small pill on my tongue. I gratefully swallowed it down, praying it would provide a quick respite to the constant
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 34: Out of the Basement
Sadie’s POVI was so grateful that Griffin had saved me but I felt protective of him. Princess Delilah’s secret was dark and I didn’t want Prince Griffin to have to face the ugly truth or to witness anything I myself couldn’t bear to see.In fact, it was something I didn’t want to face at all. I didn’t know whether or not the rogue knew Princess Delilah’s name, but I decided to intervene. It was best if Prince Griffin didn’t know.“Griffin,” I murmured softly after a long silence, my eyes still tightly shut.I felt Prince Griffin immediately move to my side. He waited quietly for me to speak again.“My wounds… they hurt,” I said weakly. It was the truth, my wounds burned and stung and throbbed, but they’d been like that this entire time. I only brought attention to my wounds in that moment to distract Prince Griffin. I was hoping that his concern for my injuries would make him leave this awful place quickly, without ever finding out that his sister was behind all of this. If Prince
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 33: The Last Rogue Standing
Sadie’s POVI opened my eyes, just a crack, to caution a quick peek, but the moment I did, I wished I hadn’t. The room was a blood bath, mangled pieces of the rogues everywhere. It was one of the most horrifying things I’d ever seen. I slammed my eyes back shut and vowed to not open them again.“I want answers,” Prince Griffin demanded. “And I want them now. You saw what I did to the other rogues. I have no problem ripping off your hands too if you don’t start talking.”The rogue stammered. “I was just… just following orders! My boss told me to pick up the delivery, that’s all I know. You’re asking the wrong person.”“Delivery?” Prince Griffin asked.“Yes,” the man said, his voice riddled with fear. “Someone sold her to our auction house. They… they told us to break her in first…”“Break her in?” Prince Griffin interrupted. I could tell by his voice that he didn’t like the sounds of those words. “What do you mean by ‘break her in’?”“She… told us to torture her…”My mind flashed back
His Chosen Queen Luna Chapter 32: Prince Griffin’s Wrath
Sadie’s POV“Which hand did you use to touch her?” Griffin’s icy voice cut through the air, laced with authority that made it impossible to ignore.The rogues looked positively horrified. I didn’t blame them. Prince Griffin’s authority hung so thickly in the air it was almost as if we could touch it. I couldn’t see it because I still had my eyes shut tightly. But I could feel it. “I-I didn’t… I swear, I didn’t—” one of the rogues stammered. I peeked my eyes open for a split second and saw that the rouge was trembling.Griffin glared at him. I shut my eyes again. “Lying won’t do you any good now,” Griffin replied, his tone as cold and final as death itself.I could imagine what the rogue looked like in that moment. He was likely wringing his hands in front of him, his face pale. “I... I’ll give up my left hand! As punishment… please, let me go. I don’t want to die. I’m begging you.” I heard the rogue plead desperately, his voice breaking at the end of his sentence.His left hand? Had
