Charlene’s Point of View ‘Run…’ “Ugh… huff… huff… ahhh! AHHH!” ‘Run away, my child!” I jumped from the bed. It has been two weeks since I started having that dream… a beautiful woman had always talked to me— then at the end of every episode, she would tell me to run away. “Charlene!” I looked at Yulo who looked extremely concerned by my side. I smiled at him to assure him that I was doing fine. I am fine. I should be fine. There are no hunters here— no monsters that would attack me. I should be fine. I was startled when Yulo caressed my cheeks. “Why are you crying and shouting? Was it a nightmare?” Yulo asked me. His form changed since I teased him about being a child. I never thought he could control how old he would look— though he told me that it was the max of what he can change into, he looks like he’s about my age now… and it feels strange yet familiar to receive his care since it felt like I have another brother by my side. “I am just fine, Yulo,” “Did you have th
“Apologies for arriving late, Your Highness,” Charlene bowed with the kind that was accustomed to the Lycan Kingdom. She had been learning numerous etiquette from a very young age that she had these kinds of things already memorized in her head. “It is fine, you should take a seat. I heard you still feel unwell,” Charlene stared at her. It was the first time she had seen the Queen up close. She was mesmerized. The Queen is as beautiful, no, the rumors are even near to what beauty the Queen truly possesses. “It is rude to stare at the Queen like that,” another voice that mesmerized Charlene spoke up. She glanced at the princess who was standing like a knight behind the Queen. She only recognized that she was the princess because she had seen her once at the academy. Unlike her mother, Princess Julian has a blank expression on her face. Her stare is also as cold as how Adhler stares at the other people other than Charlene. Charlene let out a chuckle because she looked just like he
Charlene’s Point of View Her Highness, the Queen, has left after we talked more about things that day… that I have never thought we would talk about. We occasionally dine together with her children, I like how we have gotten closer though she’s also referred to as the King’s Luna. She’s kind… and she deserves to be happy. I do not mind her being married to the King because I know that it was a decision that Adhler had no choice but to do. He had no choice… right? Because as far as I know about politics… the Queen needed the power of the King to protect her children or the people opposing the power of the royalty will eventually turn their back on her. They will see her as a hindrance to their plans. This is one thing I am afraid of since I learned that I have become the fated Luna… because that would be one reason for evil people to gather around me… to my daughter. I touch my womb whenever I want to talk to her. It has been two months since she had been with me and yet… her fat
“Have you checked all the meals?” King Adhler asked Daimon. Daimon had returned to his side after Keiffer was dispatched for a mission regarding the case of the late King’s death. Karev is the one that Adhler positioned to guard Charlene whenever she goes. Though he had his doubts about his decision of putting a man who looks at Charlene with contempt— he could not help but worry about her. And Karev is a strong knight, he will surely keep her safe. “The chefs eliminated all the seafood that they prepared, Your Highness,” “How is she?” “Why don’t you just go and confirm how Her Highness truly is, My King? Has it not been a month since you started avoiding her? You should thank the Queen— she’s keeping her company in the lonely walls of the palace,” Daimon said. Adhler ignored him and figured that Charlene must be fine. He used to visit her at night but at some point— he stopped. He could not bring himself to go to her room without having the desire to own her. To unite with her.
“What should we do about it, My King? The Luna is currently dining with the Queen, should we take her in and question her—” “Do not get ahead of yourself, Keiffer,” “It's not like I suspect her— I like her too as a person, Your Highness, but we have to eliminate every possible thing that might have her connected to this case if you really want to save her, Your Highness,” King Adhler was surprised to hear that Keiffer’s plan was not to get the woman involved but to have her exit the scene if she was really involved. It seems like he really had taken a liking to her. Adhler could not decide what he should feel about that. He did not want to go and overthink the kindness that Keiffer is showing the woman… After all— Keiffer is someone that changes his mind like how he changes his clothes. “You should dress up before the other nobles see you in that garbage. I will do what I need to do about it. You should not stick to the werewolf king for now… and look into the Red Moon Pack Beta
“You should stop this before you get worse, Charlene. Are you really going to stop listening to me!?” Charlene glanced at the children that were hiding behind the door. They seem to follow them to the resting room where the Saint put her. Charlene was about to argue but her body thought otherwise. Her nose started bleeding and her knees were weak. “Your Highness!” Julian, who had been trying not to meddle between the saint and the Luna, ran to Charlene when she was about to fall. “Oh god! Your nose is bleeding,” she turned to the saint who was looking quite angry at the moment. “This is what I am talking about. Tsk,” He sat beside the Luna and took her hand to put divine power in her, but somehow… It is progressing so slowly. “Why is she not getting better, Saint? Is she really that sick?” Julian asked in worry. “You should have stayed rested in your chamber if you do not feel well. His Highness would have understood—” “I am fine, Princess. You don’t have to be worried about me.
“I did not recall calling you here nor giving you permission to enter this area, Princess,” “Where is Charlene?” Adhler’s face darkened. “You do not have the right to know that. A mere princess of another nation? Who do you think you are?” Adhler stepped to the side and was about to get past him, but the princess pulled his arm which truly irritated him. “Princess Louise!” He exclaimed. “I will forgive it this once… Be thankful that you are important to Charlene. If you only had that princess on your name… I would have had beheaded you already for treating me this way.” “You suspect him, do you?” He walked away but stopped after what the young princess had said. King Adhler looked at her as if waiting for the princess to elaborate on what she just said. “You suspect our king of killing your brother— of killing Dia,” she cried. Adhler was a little surprised to see her crying face. It was the first time he had seen the woman cry. He had always seen Louise as a strong woman because
Adhler's Point of View “Like? Her? Do you really think I should like— no. Of course. Of course, King Adhler. Maybe you could interpret it that way. You see, I very much… love Charlene Samarah,” I want to punch him— no. I want to kill him right now. I want to kill this man who killed my brother and is now claiming to love a woman that is younger than his own daughter. Is he not ashamed of himself? He’s a beast… I cannot believe that there could be someone as evil as he is. I clenched my jaw and smiled at him to hide my expression. “You seem surprised…” he said. Who would not be surprised? Does the Red Moon Pack Alpha, Charlene’s father, know about this? Does he know— I heard that the king has been offering him lands and wealth… Was it because he likes his daughter? Does he like Charlene? “You should not get ahead of your thoughts, King Adhler… It’s not like I meant it the way you thought I am,” he smirked. I did not reply. “I love her not because she’s a woman,” he laughed.
