ELODIE'S POVAs I walked down the aisle with my father as my escort, all eyes fell on me. The heavy, pearl one-shoulder mermaid wedding dress brought out the elegance and boldness I wanted, unlike the plain ball dress that Eloise had ruined.The entire Kingdom was present, the atmosphere buzzing with excitement. This marriage ceremony was the most anticipated of the century. Everyone was eager to see the woman who had finally won the Lycan King over.With each step down the aisle, I felt the weight of the past and the future converging. My first gaze landed on Alastair with bandages around his head and bruises on his face. Did Khoas do this to him? No, I'm sure that isn't the case.My mother and Eloise were both trying to keep poker faces, but I could already see and feel the anger eating them up on the inside. Eloise was on the verge of letting out a frustrating cry while my Mom tried to calm her down. My father wasn't an exception. As we got closer to where the King was, he muttered
**ELODIE'S POV**The coronation was over, and everyone left. I was finally led into the palace, and my jaw almost dropped to the floor. The inside was even more extravagant than the outside. I was so lost in the mesmerizing beauty of this place that I didn't even hear the maid and servants bowing to my presence. Well, not until,"Brother!" A voice called out, snapping me out. I looked up to see a man and a woman approaching. I recall seeing these two at the wedding. How did they get here so fast, and what are they doing here, to begin with?The man tried to hug Khoas, who sent him a hard glare. "Do you have a death wish?""Oh, come on, Your Majesty. You can't treat your brother like this."Hold on. "Brother?!" My eyes widened in shock. The King has a brother?"Ignore him, Kian. We are not here for him. We're here to welcome the Queen, our sister-in-law, and the greatest woman of all time.""Me?" I was confused."Of course, Your Majesty. You're the only woman who was able to soften His
**ELODIE'S POV** As I was led to the King's chamber, I kept reciting those words in my head. It was the only way to keep my racing heart calm. I was now putting on a robe that hid what I was wearing inside. When we got to the King's chamber, all the maids disappeared. I let out a deep breath and entered. His chamber was bigger than mine, and everything used to furnish it was grey. There wasn't anything extraordinary, and believe me, I'm not even surprised. Almost then, the door of the bathroom opened, and he stepped out. The instant my eyes landed on him, they widened greatly at the sight before me. There he was standing, half-naked with only a towel wrapped around his thin waist. A hard gulp went down my throat as my eyes traveled from his waist up to the bar of chocolate any other person would refer to as abs. It went further to his perfectly built chest before getting to his wet curly hair, which dangled dangerously on his forehead. My heart tripped off again and started beating
**EROS' POV**I slammed the door of my dressing room shut, still panting heavily.Fuck!Fuck!!FUCK!!!I hurriedly put on something and left my chamber through the back door. I am trying. I am fucking trying to suppress my Lycan from surfacing. He wanted her badly! We both wanted her badly!I couldn't hold it back any longer and let Lyall, my Lycan, take over. I raced out of the palace, all the way deep down into the forest, out of hearing from anyone, and let out an earth-shuddering growl."Elodie.""MY ELODIE..." I growled.When I saw her standing there in that lingerie that barely covered anything, my sense of reasoning went off. The sight of her pale glowing skin, her tantalizing peaks begging to be touched, her soft plump lips begging to be kissed, her blue charming eyes daring me to come closer, her long soft hair that dangled dangerously down her big round ass—every detail of her curves, every single thing about her was driving me nuts.Like the temptress she is, she stood ther
ELODIE'S POV By the time the royal stylist was done, I exuded beauty, perfection, and confidence. Exactly what I needed to meet my family. I needed to show them that the Elodie they all knew was dead! I stepped out of my chamber only to find His Majesty already waiting for me. "Let's go," he held my hand and led me to the Limousine waiting for us outside. He opened the door for me, and I entered. "Don't you think you're forgetting something, My Queen?" he demanded the moment he entered from the other side. I gaped at him in pure confusion. He leaned close and whispered in my ear, "You still haven't decided what to call me... Blue." His eyes traveled down to my lips before looking into my eyes. "Blue? Seriously?" I scoffed. "Yes. That's my nickname for you. Your breathtaking eyes and hair..." He ran his finger through my hair, tucking some strands behind my ear. "Blue," he called in a low, rasped tone, and my heart thumped. "Why are you calling me in that tone? You're creeping m
Ever since my panic attacks started, Eloise has been in charge of the medications I take. It became her monthly duty to refill my pills, ensuring I didn't go anywhere without them. However, since I began taking these pills, my panic attacks seem to be worsening with each episode.Now that I think about it, why were Eloise and my parents so adamant about me not going to the hospital all these years? Whenever I brought up the idea of going to a therapist, they pushed it aside, saying that these medicines were all I needed. And this panic attack, when was I diagnosed with it? If Eloise hated me all this time, then these medicines... What exactly has she been feeding me?I left my room and went straight to my parent's room. The main reason why I had agreed to come here was to find something I could use against my father. Something that I can use to ruin his life.After searching the entire room, I was utterly disappointed when I found nothing. I was enraged, and I wanted to turn the entir
ELODIE'S POV "Thank you for coming to see us today, my child. We're going to miss you so much, but know that the door is always open for you, anytime." My mother held my hand and squeezed them lovingly, a soft smile on her lips."Always be happy and behave," my father remarked. I glared at the two of them before forcing a smile. "I will, Mother, Father.""Your Majesty, thank you for gracing us with your presence today. Please, always keep my princess happy. She has gone through a lot. All she needs right now is someone who will shower her with unconditional love."I snorted to myself. These people should join the film industry already. They would become amazing actors."You don't have to remind me of that," His Majesty began. He circled my waist and pulled me to himself. "I love Elodie more than anything. Her happiness is my top priority."Wow, even His Majesty."We will get going." He held my hand, and we headed outside."Bye, my dear. Take care of yourself, okay?!"I ignored my mot
Eros stood before me, shielding me from the cold rain with an umbrella and looking down at me. Our gaze locked, and I saw many emotions flash through his red eyes. "You must think I'm pathetic, right?" My weak, quivering voice spoke. "I know I am worse than pathetic. You must be wondering how someone like me can ever be useful to you as your Luna." "But all I want to know is why. Why would my family do this to me? My parents, the people who brought me into this world. My own mother." "What did I ever do to them? I was only five, so what could I possibly have known or done to them that made them kill me like this? Is a mere deed stronger than the love of parents, the love of a mother? Then how could my mother do this to me?" Nothing I was blabbering was making sense, but I just wanted to blurt out everything the way it was weighing down my heart. I didn't hold back the tears and let them fall freely as I blabbered. "Why? Why me? Why do I have to go through all of this? All I've eve
