(Aiden's POV)“What?” I asked in anticipation, my heart leaping in joy and excitement. “Did I hear you right?”She nodded her head softly. I turned my body to face her. I couldn't hide the happiness on my face. I feel like I’m floating on cloud nine.Did I really hear her right?'She said yes, dumbass!'I ignored my wolf’s temper and embraced her in my arms. I hope she could hear my heart beating so fast. God knows how much I waited for this day. I don't think I would be able to control my emotions right now.“Are you happy?” she asked innocently.I pulled away from our hug, looking into her beautiful face. What does she mean? Of course, I am happy. Words are not enough to describe how happy I am right now. I might just…And just like that, I closed the gap on our faces, feeling her lips against mine.“You're gonna to be the best and strongest Luna the Kingdom has ever had,” I whispered to her lovingly, making her eyes filled with tears.I have always known that Migumi is special. Her
(Author's POV)Anthony raced back and forth in his chambers. Inside his troubled mind is the nes spreading across the palace like wildfire about Aiden’s preparations for Migumi’s impending transformation.He knew that once the woman completes her transformation, then there's no way he can replace Aiden with the throne.Earlier, while he was on his way to Tara’s shop to continue his seduction plan with him, he encountered Aiden’s Beta on the way. He was speaking with event organizers who seemed to be very excited with whatever they were preparing for.Of course, the sly prince wouldn't let that pass without knowing what they were doing. He knew he had to know what was going on.“What's the preparations for? Is there any event I’m missing?” he asked, interrupting the conversation between Beta Marvin and the three organizers. They all looked at him surprised. “Forgive me. I was just curious since I think I heard my cousin’s name.”Beta Marvin, trusting him as his Alpha’s cousin, gave all
(Migumi's POV)“Are you sure you will be okay?” Aiden asked for who knows how many times already. I glanced at the man sitting on my bed. He looks dashing in his black suit. His hair is pushed back neatly and his handsome face brings more class to his overall appearance.“Tara will be there, too. Don't worry about me,” I assured him.He gave me a reluctant look.I received an invitation from Prince Anthony for his birthday this morning. I told Aiden about it and that's when I found out that he received an invitation too and just didn't want to tell me because of my previous encounter with his cousin.He didn't want to stress me out but there's no way I’m going to leave Tara alone with that guy. I don't trust him and I’m worried that he might do something to my friend.“You don't have to go. I’ll watch Tara for you. I know that you're not comfortable with Anthony and I’m also uncomfortable when he’s around you,” he said, making me heave a deep sigh. I checked myself in the mirror for t
(Author's POV)Lady Charlotte looked at Migumi with disdain. She dared to wear a luxurious white gown in a grand banquet where the likes of her don’t belong. Does she really think that the people of the Kingdom will accept her as their Queen Luna?“I’m not looking for trouble, Charlotte. I just want to find my friend,” Migumi told her. She regretted checking this restroom. Had she known that the contemptuous lady was here, she wouldn't have entered. She doesn't have time to fight with her.The noblewoman, ignoring her words, started to walk towards her. She walked in circles around Migumi as if judging her everything.“What makes you think you can steal Prince Aiden from me?” she slurred.Migumi didn't respond. She was just standing still while hoping that Lady Charlotte gets tired of her bullying. Her disgusting behavior doesn't really pick a time and place. She just picks at people whenever she likes.“I bet he fucked you already. You reeked of his semen. Is that how you managed to
(Migumi's POV)I have searched every single one of this hotel but there isn't even a strand of Tara’s hair I could find. I tried looking for her especially at the door where they had disappeared which is where the restroom is located but she is nowhere to be found.My jaw clenched upon remembering Charlotte’s attempt to sabotage me.She really took her time to spill slippery liquid on the floor, hoping that I would fall for it and submit to her plans of embarrassing me.She doesn't really know when to stop, huh?I have tried to be civil with her but there are just times where she’s becoming too much. I thought she loved the prince but there are countless times already where she had spoken ill of him.Doesn't she feel guilty about talking to the person she loves that way? Does she really love him in the first place, or does she just want power?This is the exact reason why I didn't want to encounter her today. I knew that my mind would be cut in half. One is worried for my friend while
(Migumi's POV)“We should go, Migumi. I’ll just update once she comes out. I’ll talk to her myself,” Prince Aiden convinced me but I didn't respond.We have been standing here outside the room in the attic where I found Tara and Prince Anthony doing their thing. They haven't come out from the room yet and it seemed like they didn't continue their sexual activity either because we don't hear sounds of moaning.I am not convinced, however, that whatever they're doing inside was agreed upon by both parties. The frightened expression on my friend’s face tells me a lot of stories. I have to know what really happened.They should be out by this time. Why does it seem like Prince Anthony is hiding her from us?“You haven't eaten dinner,” he reminded me. I pretended to not hear him and remained standing outside the door.I’m not certain but the cold breeze coming through the slightly open window from the attic tells me that it’s already midnight. It’s probably around 3 o'clock in the morning
(Migumi's POV)Aiden brought me to a nearby Tea House. It is already 4 o'clock in the morning and the cold breeze of the air is starting to make me shudder.The expensive white gown I’m wearing doesn't really help with warming my body at all.Fortunately, the prince gave me his blazer, making me feel warm. He also wanted to calm me down with a cup of tea, that's why he brought me here.He hasn't asked me about what happened yet.I don't really seem to be in a good situation to talk about it. I’m still overthinking my mistakes. I don't even know if I could ever win over my guilt.It didn't take long before I heard his heavy footsteps approaching. I lifted my head to greet him. In his hands are two cups of smoking hot tea. He put them on our table carefully. “Have some of this chamomile tea. It’s known for its calming effects,” he said.I wrapped my ice cold hands around the warm tea cup. I could see steam coming out of my mouth as I exhaled. It seemed to be colder here in the capital.
(Migumi's POV)Tara approaches us with a smile on her face. I happily faced her, trying my best to hide my previous embarrassment from last time. I don't want to make our friendship awkward because of that.It’s just a pure misunderstanding.“You look wonderful,” I complimented her green dress. She looks elegant and sophisticated in it. Her messy hair from the last time I saw her is now neatly tied into a bun with a cute ribbon.Tara gave me a faint smile. “You too,” she replied briefly.She glanced at the guy standing beside me who currently has his arms wrapped around my waist. She gave him a small smile as well.“May I borrow her for a moment?” she asked.Aiden and I glanced at each other.He’s still worried about my impending transformation but since it is already Tara who is asking a minute with me, he just nodded and smiled. He knows that I am also worried for my friend. It’s a good time to apologize for my wrong understanding of her relationship with Prince Anthony, too.“Let m
