(Migumi’s POV)Hearing his rich and magnetic voice surged a thousand bolts through my body, causing a slight shiver. I bet he felt that, too, because his hand was touching my back.“P—Prince!” I gasped, eyes flashed with surprise.Was it him all this time? Why didn't he speak? I thought he was Nora. He even applied ointment on me even when I called him her name.I secretly pulled the towel that was resting on the table, using it to cover my chest. Thankfully, I was just looking at the wall the entire time. I was thinking about turning around earlier, I’m glad I didn't. He could have seen everything.“H—How long have you been there?” I awkwardly asked when I received no response from him. His hand was just touching my back, not moving.I started to overthink about all the scars I have on my back. Both old and new are a testament of my dark past. It must have been the reason why scars are ugly.“Sorry…” he finally replied. “I wanted to talk to you about what happened earlier. I thought
(Aiden’s POV)In the silent tent, I stood frozen in front of Migumi, my whole body stiffened and lost in thought. Her sweet scent filled the air, and the neutral chirping of the crickets created a pleasant background noise for us.My heart skipped a beat as I felt her warm lips moving on mine. I looked at her with dilated pupils, surprised by her unexpected initiation.This was so unlike her, but I’ll be a hypocrite if I tell you that I don't like this. I have always wanted to kiss her like this the first time I saw her running alone in that dark forest.Time seemed to stand still as I tried to process what was happening. A part of me wants to give in completely, the other wants to confirm if she really wants this.As Migumi's lips moved with mine on a gentle and passionate kiss, my mind raced with a mix of confusion and excitement. I felt a rush of emotions flood through me - surprise, curiosity, and a flicker of something deeper that I couldn't quite name. All I know is that I’m flo
(Migumi’s POV)Opening my eyes, the first thing I saw was the dark fabric of the tent, blocking the morning light. I was awoken to the sound of faint chattering of people outside.I blinked my eyes, realizing that it’s already the next day. I casually sat myself on the bed as I tried to remember what happened last night. I remember taking a bath, and applying medicine on my wounds. After that… everything seemed to be vague.Looking at the small mirror on the table, I flipped the sheets open to check my face on the mirror.Suddenly, I noticed something bizarre. My pupils slowly turned into a dot as I realized what I just saw. I shakingly put my hands below my legs.I felt my bare skin on my hand as I ran my hand up to my legs to what's in between.I—I’m naked.My head automatically looked down to my body, eyes widened in shock, as I confirmed that I wasn't wearing anything underneath. I immediately pulled the sheets to my nakedness, worried that someone might enter and see me.I don't
(Migumi’s POV)Hearing the werewolf prince’s last word made me anxious. It almost sounded like we were under attack by rogues.Fear instantly crept into my eyes, catching the attention of the Alpha who was about to head out. He prompted his Beta to leave, leaving just the two of us in the tent. Aiden went to sit back to the chair in front of me.“What’s wrong?” he asked, a hint of worry in his voice. I sheepishly looked at him. I’m not really expecting that he would stop himself just to ask me this.Since I wasn't used to his thoughtful nature, I found myself speechless. It felt like my tongue had been cut off.The memories of my dark past flashed back in my head like a video tape. I could see myself running as the rogues chase after me like they were on a race for their meal. I don't even know how I managed to escape such a dreadful situation. Just thinking about it brings back the same horror I felt that time.“Hey?”My eyes gazed at the man sitting in front of me. The worried look
(Migumi’s POV)The two corners of my lips lifted, hearing the innocent questions of the young werewolves. They were still having their small fights, and I’m here thinking whether I should stop them or enjoy the show.“You said she is Luna Migumi. Then, she must have an Alpha, right?” Elijah asked his friends.The children turned their heads to look at me, searching for an answer. I gave them a small smile. How do I even answer that kind of question? I was a Luna but—At that moment, I suddenly inhaled a whiff of Aiden’s dominating scent. I glanced to my side when I sensed him standing beside me. I smiled a little when the kids turned their attention to him. It was almost as if they were slowly realizing something.“I am her Alpha,” he briefly answered.The children’s eyes widened in surprise, giggling as they saw the redness of my face. I wasn't still used to Aiden being open about whatever we have. I’m not even sure what to call. He calls me his mate, but we don't even have an offici
(Migumi’s POV)I blinked innocently as enthusiasm glimmered in Prince Aiden’s eyes. The hint of joy on his face tells me that whatever he has to say will surely lift up the mood in our dead silent carriage.“I would love to hear about your travels,” I agreed. His smile widened.His eyes sparkled with excitement as he recounted his adventurous travels to me. I heard that he has visited every City in the country in hopes to find his mate. It sounds like a long story ahead.“Ah, Migumi, you wouldn't believe the culture I’ve seen and the cuisines I’ve enjoyed in my travels,” he began, a smile playing on his lips. “I remember the time I visited the bustling markets of Silverbookshire. There were a lot of exotic foods to try that I’ve never seen before. It turned out to be a haven for merchants who sell weird traditional cuisines to tourists. One of them gave me a bracelet made of shells. I still have it in my closet to this day.”I listened intently as the man tells me about his experience
(Migumi’s POV)Stepping out from the carriage, I was greeted by the sounds of shouting vendors bargaining and roaring engines. I lifted my head to look at the bustling scenes before me.On the wide concrete roads are moving black boxes that have wheels and crisping sounds of bells that weaved through the traffic. It was like a carriage that could run by itself because I see people driving inside of them.My eyes landed at the exquisite shops and lively market stalls lining up the sides of the road.“Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Feast your eyes on the finest silks from the Silverwood, woven with threads of gold and stories of distant lands!” I heard one merchant loudly say, inviting customers towards a display of exotic fabrics. My lips parted as l scanned all the other shops in the small street. They were all colorful and their unique products that I haven't seen before.I could smell different scents; one is the aroma of tangy and sweet lemon cakes that is probably coming fro
(Migumi’s POV)A surge of panic cursed through me as the sea of people pushed me away from the store where Tara and I separated. I tried to push through the crowd to get back to the place where we parted, but the flow of people made it difficult to move against.I found myself getting pushed back further and further away from the place where Tara and I lost each other. I could feel myself being jostled and pushed from all sides, each one seemingly intent on going in the opposite direction.“TARA!!!” I desperately called for her name, but my voice was just drowned out by the noise of the bustling and overwhelming crowd.Each step I took forward, I got dragged two steps back by the relentless force of the crowd.Anxiety started to kick in when I finally lost sight of the store. It only meant that I had gone too far. I’m afraid that the direction of the crowd might take me to some place I don't know. I need to get myself out of here!Looking at the side, my eyes noticed a narrow alleyway
(Migumi’s POV)[5 Years Later]The entire kingdom is gathered in the grand courtyard today to celebrate our son’s birthday. The setup was as extravagant as his spirit with an orchestra band playing live in the corner, and a series of different cuisines to choose from.Aiden and I decided to do a mass potluck for everyone to enjoy. Everyone is welcome to celebrate with us, even the commoners.My mate stands beside me, his hand resting lightly on my back. He smiles, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and I can't help but mirror his joy. He's a proud father, and seeing Kai surrounded by so much love fills him with a warmth that radiates outside."He's growing up so fast," Aiden murmurs, his voice barely audible over the din.I nod, a bittersweet pang in my chest.It feels like just yesterday when I was still cradling him in my arms like a tiny bundle of wonder. Now, he's a boisterous boy, running around, being friendly with everyone. It's something he learned from Aiden."He's a good boy
(Migumi’s POV)[Five Years Later]My lips curved into a smile as the polished marble floors of the hallway echo with the sound of our son’s laughter. It sounded joyous, cutting through the quiet hum of the castle.Aiden and I exchange a knowing smile, our hearts swelling with a warmth that only a parent can understand. Our son, Kai, is like a symbol of luck as he runs around the castle, his tiny legs pumping as he races down the hallway. And just like the usual scenarios, the servants are struggling to keep up with him again."Kai!" Aiden calls out, his voice booming with amusement.I watched him intercepts our son, scooping him up into his arms. Kai squeals with delight, his laughter erupting like a cascade of tiny bells. I look at them, a smile playing on my lips. Aiden sets Kai down, his hand resting gently on his son’s shoulder."You're getting quite the reputation for being a mischievous little sprite," Aiden says, his tone laced with affection.Kai giggles, his eyes sparkling wi
It is an afternoon of breeze, meaning she does her gardening and is enjoying it very much.The smell of freshly turned earth and blooming roses fills my nostrils as I kneel, carefully pruning the overgrown lavender bushes.A shadow falls over me, and I look up to see Aiden standing there, a hesitant smile on his face."Migumi," he starts his voice low. "I have something to tell you."My heart does a little jump. This is what I have been waiting for, to hear from him what he has found out. "What is it, Aiden?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper."The elders," he says, his eyes shining with a newfound hope, "they're finally willing to accept us."A wave of relief washes over me, as it has been in my hopes for this day, hoping someday I'd be accepted into our community. My lips curve into a wide smile, and before I know it, I throw my arms around him, burying my face into his chest."Oh, Aiden," I whisper, choked with emotion. "I'm so happy for you."He holds me close. I feel his arm
(Migumi’s POV)The sound of people's laughs and gratefulness was something that reminds me of the good decision I made for them.Elders of the pack, especially those who were responsible for the finances of the entire pack didn't agree with my plan to distribute bags of gold to the werewolves. They argue that it would ruin the natural order of the economy.“Are you happy?” I asked my mate who is currently busy taking care of the people.She glanced at me and smiled.“Of course!”My lips curved into a smile. I wanted to ask more, but I didn't want to burden her anymore, so I just stayed out of her business.I was leaning against the wall, watching her when Beta Marvin suddenly came to me.“Your Majesty, the Elders would like to remind you of your conference with them,” he reported. My brows arched. I*****The heavy oak door of the council office creaks open, and I step inside. The Elders are seated around a massive table, their faces etched with years of wisdom and power.I feel a kno
(Migumi’s POV)I woke up to the sound of someone's gentle voice pulling me out from my deep sleep. When I opened my eyes to confirm if it was the love of my life, I proved myself correct. “Migumi…”His voice was so soft as his hand gently shook my shoulder. I stir, my eyelids heavy with sleep.I groan, burying my face deeper into the pillow. “Five more minutes,” I mumble.For some reason, I felt comfortable to act like a teenager being woken up by her parents. I dare to request for another minute and more, thinking that I don't have to be so hard on myself anymore.We're safe.“You’ve been asleep for hours,” he says, his hand lingering on my shoulder.I open my eyes, blinking against the light. Aiden’s face is a blur of concern. “What time is it?” I ask, my voice thick with sleep.“It’s almost noon,” he says. “We need to get ready for the feast.”I sit up, pulling the blanket tighter around me. My head is pounding. I feel like I’ve been running a marathon in my sleep.Then, it hit me.
(Migumi’s POV)"It was Diana," she says, her voice barely a whisper. "She tricked me. She made me do it."I watch her, my heart a lead weight in my chest. I know Charlotte,That's something that doesn't surprise me anymore. Diana has always been cunning and deceitful. And I know that Charlotte capable of making mistakes, of being manipulated, but this… this is different.She was a very easy target."You were scared of her," I say, my voice low and steady. "You were scared because she threatened you when you wanted to give up the original plan."Charlotte flinches at my words, her gaze dropping to her lap. She doesn't deny it. She doesn't need to.I know the truth just like everyone else. What happened to her wasn't the first time it happened. It happened to many others before her.The truth is etched on her face, in the way her shoulders slump, in the tremor of her hands."I didn't want to do it," she whispers, her voice barely audible. "But Diana… she said she'd hurt me if I didn't."
(Migumi’s POV)We buried the little boy that same day. It was truly heartbreaking, and a lot of the healers decided to go to his funeral because he had nobody.I wish I could have done more. It feels like I failed him and myself.A part of me blames my situation, but I know for a fact that things could have gotten better if only I did everything to protect the boy.But what can I do? I am only one.The cell door clangs shut behind me, the sound echoing off the cold stone walls. In my hand is a plate full of prison food. This is actually better than the ones common prisoners receive.I learned from the guards that Charlotte is trying to kill herself by starving. She has refused to eat anything since Prince Anthony’s defeat.I guess she was hoping that she could free herself by being loyal to them.This should be the time for her to repent.I stopped in front of her cell, my expression blank and emotionless.Charlotte sits in the corner, a hunched figure shrouded in shadows. Beside her
(Migumi’s POV)The love we shared last night must have been one of the most amazing things that I experienced these last few days.It’s been busy here in the Kingdom. The healers are still in the process of catering the infected werewolves, but I could tell that they're getting better. I have received many grateful messages from people. It feels nice to hear them finally able to accept me as their Luna.Well, it’s not really everyone. There are still some Elders who are demanding that I leave my position. They still don't think I deserve to be here.It was probably due to the fact that the Legend told them bad things about the moonwolf.I have already debunked that, and it’s up to them whether they're going to believe it or not.As long as I know that I’m doin anything to hurt anyone, I won't stop doing my responsibilities as a Luna. The world deserves a savior.“Where are you going?” Aiden asked, scratching his eyes.He just woke up from his sleep. I was trying not to make a sound to
(Migumi’s POV)Without second thoughts, he pulled my legs towards him, sliding them on his sides. I moaned after my private part bumped on his bulge.I excitedly looked at him, feeling more hornier than ever. He gave me a stare that could make anyone wet themselves.“You're so hot,” he whispered in between his hot breaths.I plastered a seductive smirk on my face, feeling his warmth in between my legs.“I know,” I replied, a hint of confidence in my voice. I began gliding myself to his growing bulge. It made him bite his lower lip, while making sure not to break eye contact with me. “Pull those pants down. I missed that little guy.”I watched him unbuckle his belt like a hungry child waiting for her milk.My eyes lit up as soon as it was just his boxer left to cover his private part. I took the initiative to take it down from its hiding spot. I gasped when it sprung out like a toy. It’s very hard and long. It’s almost the same size as a bat.How do I fit that inside of me?“Are you sc
