(Migumi’s POV)“A—Are you certain, Your Majesty?” I asked reluctantly, lowering my head a little due to the intense stares of the people looking inside the shop.They were all thrilled at the royal prince’s unexpected revelation. None of them dare to gossip yet, but surely they're judging me inside their heads. I don't need to check to know that they're looking at me.I just know people too well.It’s not new anyway. I have always been a subject to such discrimination and judgment ever since I left my pack and found myself in Alpha Cyrus’s grip.It always seemed like Omegas like me have no right to feel a bit of comfort in life.That I have no right to be a Luna.“Of course, I am certain. Pick whatever and as much you like. It’s on me,” he confirmed, earning a suppressed squeal from Tara. She squeezed my hand gently, prompting me to dive into the hundreds of dresses to choose from. “I will be waiting for you outside.”That's the last thing he said before exiting the shop to wait in hi
(Migumi’s POV)The smiling princess clings herself into my arm, making me blush in sheepishness. I glanced at King Arthur who doesn't seem happy with everything that's going on at the moment, but is trying to hide it because he didn't want to offend his genuine son.“May I request the Prince to stay behind as I have important matters to discuss with him?” King Arthur said, looking at me as if asking my permission.I felt a surge of anxiety when everyone shifted their gaze to look at me.Why is the King asking for my permission?“U—Uhmm…” I stuttered.At that moment, I felt my confidence slowly fading into nothingness. I was so poised when I presented myself to them, but now I feel King Arthur’s displeasure of meeting me. I can't help but feel saddened.Who do I think I am to expect to dream of joining the royal family—the most powerful in the Kingdom.“O—Of course, Your Majesties.”I cleared my voice.They smiled at me, gesturing to the prince to follow them in the royal office. I fol
(Migumi’s POV)Tara’s eyes are lighting up in excitement as she looks behind me. I turned my head to follow her gaze, and that's when I saw a man entering the training ground with such a commanding presence.He majestically walked towards our direction, his eyes fixed at our spot.He reminds me of Prince Aiden.The man momentarily stopped in front of the young princess giving her a questioning stare.“Greetings, Prince Anthony!” Tara suddenly greeted cheerfully, making me wince in surprise. She lowered her head to pay her respect with a sweet smile plastered on her face. “He looks so much better than how those girls at the compound describe him,” she whispered playfully to me.I widened my eyes at her.I’m sure that his sensitive ears caught that. Tara must have forgotten that higher rank werewolves have more amplified senses than us.She seemed to forget that quite often.I glanced at the Prince’s direction. He was still staring at us, particularly at me. That's why our eyes met. His
(Migumi’s POV)As he slowly walked towards our spot, I couldn't help but plaster a sweet smile on my face. Suddenly, I felt like all my worries went away.There's nothing to worry about anymore because he’s here to keep me safe.“Did I interrupt a wonderful conversation?” he asked, smiling at everyone. Prince Aiden then laid his eyes at me, a hint of meaningful expression from his face. “Shall I escort you to dinner, Migumi?” he greeted, offering his arm for me to take.I stood there in silence, staring at the arm waiting for me. Beside me is everyone waiting for me to respond.I nodded my head, a gentle trust visible in my eyes. “Of course, Your Majesty. It’s my pleasure to have you escort me for dinner tonight,” I replied gratefully, accepting his arm.When I turned my head to look at Prince Anthony, his face seemed to have darkened a bit. However, it quickly disappeared and he even looked at Tara who was smiling dreamingly at Prince Aiden and I.He extended his hand towards Tara, a
(Aiden’s POV)My steps were weighted as I made my way towards my father’s chambers. I am trying my best to calm myself after what happened, but I just couldn't find any reason to understand my father’s decision.Leaving my mate off the announcement is indirectly disrespecting me as the royal prince and the future King of the Kingdom—Migumi is to be my Queen!“Prince?” a man called.I paused momentarily to glance at Beta Vincent who is guarding the King’s chambers. He looked at me confusedly as he lowered his head slowly to pay his respects. . It was probably due to the obvious irritation on my face.“I want to have a word with the King,” I demanded in a stern voice.He glanced at the locked door.“I’m afraid that the King is resting now, Prince Aiden. I will make sure to extend your request to him once he is well,” he replied, a hint of reluctance on his face.My expression darkened.Of course, he will protect the King from anyone as long as they are a threat including me.“I’m not he
(Migumi’s POV)I ignored the boasting lady and just focused my attention on my drunk friend who was dancing wildly in the banquet hall. However, my brows furrowed when I didn't see Tara to the place where I last saw her.I glanced around the room, searching for my friend, but she was nowhere to be found.Not again.Where the hell did she go?!“Look at me when I’m talking to you, bitch!” Charlotte exclaimed angrily. I gasped when she splashed the champagne she was holding at me. The liquid immediately tainted my gown, leaving a large wet mark on the expensive fabric.I glared at her.“What is your problem?” I asked in a low voice.Charlotte and her friend began to attract attention with their humiliating laughter. Her friends seemed to be very pleased with her barbaric actions.“My problem? You,” she sarcastically replied, putting the now empty glass of champagne back on the table. “What made you think that you're welcome in the palace, Omega? The likes of you don't belong here. You’re
(Author's POV)Charlotte ran out of the palace hastily, her hands determined to cover her face from the passersby who were persistent to see her embarrassed face.She could hear them laughing in triumph at her defeat. She is finally humbled by the same rank she had humiliated and mocked for the longest time. The arrogant aristocrat has finally met her match.Another Omega who taught her the biggest and most shaming lesson today.The once high and mighty reputation of Lady Charlotte quickly faded like the wind. She was once the most admired woman in the capital.But now… she’s nothing but a desperate woman who is revealed to have been the biggest female bully of the Kingdom.There's nothing she can hide anymore.She has been caught.“Poor girl. I would pray for the soil to devour me whole if I were scolded by the Queen like that in front of the elite guests,” one old woman said, watching the embarrassed lady run mindlessly away from the palace. She didn't even care even when her pure w
(Migumi's POV)I stood under the shower head, the water raining down on me like a hurricane. This is my first time using this new invention. If it weren't for my friend, Tara, who taught me how to maneuver this, I would have stared at it for who knows how long like an ignorant girl from the province.The experience here in the capital has been amazing so far. It was far different from what I am accustomed to at the Darkwood pack.There are so many things in here that you can't find in Alpha Cyrus’s slowly progressing pack.Well, that's in the past now anyway. I’m not in his pack anymore to worry about the advancement of his pack. My duty as his secret Luna is long done.Stepping out of the shower, I couldn't help but smile at the freshness I felt. I had a really long day on my first day in the capital. I wasn't really expecting to meet the King and Queen, but I guess the Moon Goddess has different plans for me.I stood in front of the large mirror, staring at my reflection. I am alrea
