Everything had been so beautiful and perfect, just as I had imagined it would be. I was proud of myself and of Jaden, proud of the path we had managed to forge.

"Attention!" I heard the man shout as the enormous, heavy palace doors creaked open. "Salute the Supreme King and Queen."

"LONG LIVE!" they shouted in unison as Jaden and I approached the balcony, smiling and waving.

Jaden raised his hand for silence, and it didn’t take long for the crowd to quiet down.

“It is well known that we are new here. That we are new to this, but fortunately, we are blessed by the gracious goddess, and she will help us to walk our paths in the best possible way,” he paused. “Thank you for being here in this new phase, and I hope you will support us and welcome us with open arms. We hope to lead our people, our nation, to greatness.”

I smiled softly, letting out a quiet laugh. I looked at him — Jaden was so wonderful. He was born to be a king. He shines like one. His eyes are like beacons that illuminate

OK, I GUESS I HAD A RUN OF BAD LUCK. First, a wrist problem and then a cold that I'm still recovering from, but I'm going to finish the book now. Thanks to those who are following me.

    When I opened my eyes, I sat up in bed, noticing the empty space beside me, and let out a loud, tired sigh. Last night’s party had been so much fun, but I was exhausted from wearing high heels all night.“Jaden?” I called out.No response. I grunted and flopped back onto the bed, glancing over at my bedside table. A small white note was neatly stuck to the lamp. I reached over and grabbed it, quickly reading through the message.“Good morning, love. I’m in my office with Damon. Rest up.”I smiled as I rolled around in bed for a bit before finally getting up, ready to start the day. As I stood up, I began exploring the new room that Jaden and I would be sharing. Well, the new Alpha’s room, since I knew I had a room of my own somewhere.The Alpha’s room was massive, with dark wood furniture and gold accents. The heavy curtains kept the sunlight softened, giving the room a cozy feel. I walked over to the window and opened the curtains, letting the light flood the space. Outside, the roya

    Lilith, Maggie, Katalina, and I were ready for a full day of exploring our new home. From what everyone had been saying, we were in one of the largest cities in existence, but it still wasn’t on the map.Jaden was very focused on something I hadn’t discovered, so I sent a message through Bruno about what the girls and I would be doing. I knew it wasn’t fair that he was working so hard and alone, but I was also doing my job as Luna.This pack was almost like a large city, and I had a lot to explore and discover.“Good morning, girls,” I said cheerfully as we stepped out the front door of the castle. It was really different here; it felt like the air was different. Lilith and I had talked about it while she helped me with my hair treatment.I felt very fulfilled because I had my friends close to me, and somehow, I felt very much at home. It was like being where I always should have been.Lilith stretched her arms up and took a deep breath. “You were right, Malia. Even the air here feels

    After our visit to the Moon Goddess Temple, the feeling of tranquility still lingered as we left the sacred space. The sun shone brightly, and the fresh morning air enveloped us, energizing us for the next stage of our exploration.“Now that we’ve seen the temple, it’s time to check out what else this incredible city has to offer,” I said eagerly. “What’s our next destination, Lil?”Lilith consulted the map she had brought, pointing to various points of interest in the city. “I heard about a famous kind of gallery a few blocks from here. It’s known for its exotic merchandise and delicious food. How about we start there?”“Sounds good, let’s head to the gallery!” Maggie agreed, her eyes sparkling. “I’m excited to see the shops and maybe try some local delicacies.”We made our way to the gallery, but on the way, we stumbled upon an ice cream shop. We decided to stop and get some ice cream to cool off. Given my current pregnancy, I needed to stay refreshed to feel good.When we finally a

    I smiled widely when I saw Jaden. I walked over to him and gently threw myself into his arms. “Hi, dear. How was your day?”“Good,” I murmured. “But it's even better to be home.”The clock on the nightstand read 7:30 PM, which meant we had spent much more time out than we had planned. Anyway, today had been wonderful, and I felt more connected to the culture of the country.“And how was it here?” I asked, looking up at him.“Tiring,” he said, brushing a strand of my hair from my eyes.“You know you can always call on me for support,” I murmured. “I also have responsibilities in this pack.”“For now, you’re busy producing organs and tissues; I think you can take a break for a while,” he joked, and I laughed, rolling my eyes.“I still want to see the kids before dinner,” I said.“I stopped by earlier; they were in the bath, and I decided not to disturb them,” he murmured. “I was waiting for you.”I smiled at him, leaning in for a chaste kiss. As we embraced, I heard the children’s loud,

    The days have been almost all the same. I think the pregnancy has made me slower and sleepier, so by the time I wake up, Jaden has already left to start his work as king.I know he's trying to protect me because of the baby, but I want to help while I still can since, during my postpartum recovery, it will be impossible to do much. Besides, we'll have a newborn to take care of.A week ago, we found out that I'm pregnant with a boy. He’s huge, a bit bigger than the twins were, since he doesn’t have to share the womb with anyone else. I can already imagine that he’ll be a big, strong man when he grows up.I sighed as I placed my feet on the cold floor of my room and shivered. A cold front had arrived in the city, and I couldn’t quite handle it. I discovered that the climate here is much milder than in my old pack — which is several miles away from here.I was wrapped in one of Jaden’s hoodies, which was several sizes too big and reached halfway down my thighs, along with a pair of my sw

    Soph had a mother’s love. She took care of me with a tenderness I had only experienced in my childhood. Now, after my bath, I'm finishing my chicken sandwich while she brushes my hair in front of the mirror in my room.“You have beautiful hair,” she says, gently pulling it back to keep it from falling into my face.“Thank you,” I smile. “So, is the weather here always like this? Does it change so quickly?”“Ever since I got here, yes.” She nods.“So, you’re not from around here?” I ask, surprised.“No,” she laughs. “I’m from the other side.”“Where from?” I ask.“Well…” She clears her throat. “I think this is the only place I’ve really put down roots. I used to travel a lot,” she stammers a bit.“That must have been hard to do with a child,” I murmur.“Actually, no.” Her cheeks flush a little. “I did it alone. Reuniting with my son felt like receiving a gift from the goddess.”“That’s so touching,” my eyes sparkle. “Why did you leave him?”“Oh, I had a problem with my mate, who wasn’t

    "Why do you want to know about my mother?" he asks, his eyes dropping to me with a gleam. "She died, as you know, and—" "No, dear. Your real mother. Didn't your father tell you about her?" I ask. "Oh, that..." He clears his throat and looks at the ceiling. "Dad didn’t give me any photos or descriptions. But he said her name was Sophie, that she lived in our pack, but they were forbidden to live their love after they turned eighteen, when they hadn’t discovered they were mates." He pauses slightly, my eyes widening with each new piece of information. "So, my grandfather took my mother away. They reunited sometime later and spent one night together, making love. The next day, my father found his true mate, and my mother completely disappeared again. Dad tried to move on with his bond, but a year later, when I was only three months old, my mother showed up at his door, begging him to raise me." "What do you mean?" I frown. "Why?" "My mother had a cruel mate, love." His fingers twi

    I woke up with the weak afternoon sun filtering through the curtains, feeling a restless sleep overtaking me. I barely noticed when I fell asleep. The time seemed to drag on throughout the afternoon, and every minute I waited for the results was a torment. I looked at Jaden, who was still sleeping peacefully beside me, and carefully got up to avoid waking him. I dressed quickly before anyone could appear and left my room, checking to make sure I was alone. I descended the castle’s corridors, my heart racing with each step toward the doctor’s office. Each footfall seemed to echo in my chest, reflecting the mix of anxiety and hope I felt. The need for confirmation and the fear of facing a painful truth was almost paralyzing. When I finally reached the doctor’s office door, I knocked softly and entered as soon as he gave a brief “come in.” He was sitting at his desk with a grave expression, which instantly sent a shiver down my spine. “Majesty, the results are ready,” he said, his

    20 YEARS LATER“Darling?” I called as I opened Jaden’s office door.“Beautiful.” He smiled warmly at me. “What do you need?”“Nothing,” I murmured, smiling back. “I just missed you.”“Well, lucky for you, I’m finishing up my work now,” he said, grumbling.“Well, even if you hadn’t finished, I would have insisted you stop.” I said, leaning over his office chair. His hands moved to my hips, pulling me closer.His lips met mine, and he drew me in, guiding my legs to either side of his hips. For the past 20 years, Jaden and I couldn’t keep our hands off each other. It was almost as if our bond was continually renewing itself, which was pretty incredible.Our kisses deepened, and he stood up from the chair with me still wrapped around him, placing me on top of his desk. Jaden's fingers traced every inch of my body.“Jaden, we’re running late,” I murmured, feeling him plant kisses all over my neck and chest.“No one will mind, Malia,” he whispered, as I dug my nails into his shoulders.Jade

    Two months later…The pain overwhelmed me completely. It was early morning, and I groaned as I got up and placed my feet on the cold floor of my room.“It’s time, Malia,” Fawn said in my head.“Oh my God. Not again,” I groaned.“This time, with just one baby, we can have a natural birth,” Fawn said, excited.“Oh, no! It… it must hurt,” I whimpered.“Malia, we’re strong, dear,” she winked at me. “We’ll manage. We always do. Look at everything we’ve been through,” she sighed.I nodded as another wave of pain hit me, and I groaned while getting out of bed to try and go to the bathroom, only to find water running down my legs and dripping onto the floor.Jaden jumped up, startled, and turned on the bedside lamp. “W-what?” He seemed to be trying to process what was happening.“Dear, I’m in labor,” I said, biting my cheek.“We need to go to the hospital,” he said, jumping out of bed and searching for things I didn’t understand.“Call the doctor, Jaden,” I grumbled. “And your mother.

    I frowned, my gaze shifting between the two women. Sophie’s eyes were downcast, her hands trembling slightly as she kept them clasped. I had never seen her like this before — so vulnerable, so frightened. A shiver ran down my spine.“What’s going on?” I asked, my tone now more serious. “Is something wrong?”Sophie finally raised her head, her eyes meeting mine. They were filled with so much emotion — fear, hope, regret. It was as if she was carrying a weight that was crushing her from within.“Jaden,” she whispered, her voice wavering. “There’s something you need to know… something I should have told you a long time ago.”My heart began to race. Malia squeezed my hand gently, a gesture of support, but I could see the concern in her eyes too. Okay, something was starting to feel very wrong here.“Just tell me,” I urged, trying to keep my voice steady. “What is it?”Sophie took a deep breath, her chest heaving as if she was about to dive into the deepest, darkest part of the ocean. “I…

    I was determined. Today would be the day I would reveal everything to everyone. Finally, Jaden would know that Sophie was his biological mother, the one who had been prevented from raising him due to the cruelty of others.When Sophie entered the room to bring my breakfast, she looked as calm and composed as ever. She walked in with a tray and a smile on her face, but there was something in her eyes that made me feel it was the right moment."Good morning, Queen Malia," Sophie said, placing the tray on the table beside the bed. "As always, I prepared your coffee myself.""Good morning, Sophie," I replied, watching her closely. "Actually, I need to talk to you about something very important."Sophie raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised, and sat on the edge of the bed. "What happened? It sounds serious.""It is serious," I confirmed, looking at her firmly.I hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words to express my discovery. Like it or not, it was something serious to share,
