(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
(Migumi's POV)Once again, I found myself in Aiden’s car. However, this time, I’m not alone in the backseat because the prince is with me while his Beta, Marvin, drives for us. He’s not talkative just like the first time I met him, only responding if it’s the prince who is talking to him.We are on our way to Tara’s shop and I couldn't help but get excited about what's waiting for me.My friend told me about all the preparations. That's why I know that her store opening ceremony is going to be a blast. My friend is anything but a cheapskate. I’m sure that she meticulously prepared everything!“How is your studying, Migumi?” Aiden broke the silence. I smiled at him. I’m glad he asked that because I was really looking forward to telling anyone aside Tara about my recent learning.“It’s great. I study court etiquette in the morning and delve in the history of the royal family in the afternoon. Supposedly, I’m going to have combat training with Princess Abigail tonight but I have left an
(Migumi's POV)“Well… If that's what's going to be our topic, then I suggest that we go take a seat because it’s about to get really hot,” she joked, pulling me into a nearby table. I forced a smile, not wanting to spoil her fun.“You look happy,” I remarked.Her smile widened. “Of course, I am happy, Migs. Prince Anthony and I have done everything a couple would do. We go on dates. We ate on one plate. We ran under the pouring rain. We danced to romantic music. I think I love him…” she dreamingly said, her eyes shaped like hearts as she reminisced the things she did with him.I would have been happy for him if I didn't know about his deception, but all I could think about right now is how evil he is for doing all that just to gain my friend’s trust.How evil could he be to play someone's heart like that?“Do you think he loves you?” I asked, a hint of doubt in my tone which made her look at me offended. It was too late to take my words back however.And I have no plans of doing so an
(Migumi's POV)I can’t stop worrying about what I heard in the restroom earlier. The contemptuous laughs of Prince Anthony and his insulting comments about Tara keeps on echoing in my head. I knew that I can't just stay in my room and pretend that I didn't hear that.Once again, I glanced at the telephone that I have been wanting to grab since I got back home.Separating from Aiden earlier was really heard, especially because there's something I really wanted to tell him. I wish I had told him this earlier.I closed my eyes as I let myself grab the telephone and dial his number.*Toot* *toot* *toot*Its dialing sounds make me nervous the longer it takes. I feel my heart beating out of my che—[Hello?]My eyes lit up as soon as I heard Aiden’s voice.“Uhmm… hello.”What do I tell him now?[Hi, Migumi. It’s 10 o'clock in the evening. Do you miss me already?]Aiden chuckled softly.I wanted to say yes, but there's just no time for me to play sweet couple with him right now. I have to tel
