(Migumi’s POV)I woke up to the gentle scent of fresh flowers and the soft hum of the birds filtering through the window. Blinking against the morning light, I scanned my eyes around the unfamiliar room.With furrowed brows, I sat up, trying to recall how I ended up in this luxurious bed. I had never been here before; that much was certain.The last thing I remember is dreaming about being taken away by the royal werewolf prince. I can still smell his scent, his gentle deep voice, his ocean blue eyes that is comforting and—“You're awake.”I winced when a man suddenly popped out of nowhere. In his hand is a tray laden with a delicate breakfast. He set down the tray on the bedside table with a gentle smile.It’s…I—It’s the werewolf prince!“Good morning, Migumi. I thought you might be hungry. Do you like warm pastries and tea for breakfast?” he asked with a handsome smile on his face.Am I still dreaming? Why is the werewolf prince still here? Did I die? Am I dead?!Prince Aiden arche
(Migumi’s POV)The car came to a halt in front of a charming lodging, a rustic yet luxuriously decorated inn that exuded an air of warmth and comfort to my anxious heart. Aiden immediately got out of the car to carry my unconscious friend inside.I followed them silently, ignoring the piercing pain in my stomach. It seemed like my bandages had unraveled because of the tension back there earlier.As I trail behind them, I couldn't help but notice the marvelous attention to detail in the interior. From the soft cushions on the cabriole chairs to the soft glow of the warm lights that bathed the entire room with golden hue. It felt like a sanctuary in the middle of a chaotic world.My heart flattered in awe as I slowly realized that both of us had been saved.Tara and I made it.Prince Aiden guided me to the cozy corridors and the elegant room. I smiled faintly as I scanned my eyes to the different artworks plastered on the walls.You can tell just by looking at the place alone that it is
(Aiden’s POV).I stood frozen in the middle of the living room, the echo of Migumi’s hurried footsteps fading into my ears. I stared at the spot where she had disappeared from with a hint of confusion and disappointment.Deep inside, I knew that her sudden retreat wasn't a rejection but a reflection of her own fear and uncertainties. I understand that it's hard to trust again after what she's been through.‘Why the hell are you just standing there?!’My wolf, Speed, blurted inside my head. I emotionlessly diverted my eyes away from the main staircase.“We shouldn't force her…” I briefly replied, earning a silent groan from my wolf. I could almost feel him struggling to take control of my body but he could never do that unless I granted him the permission to do so.It’s understandable that my wolf wants to immediately complete the bonding process with Migumi. After all, we have waited for so long. But we can't just force ourselves to her.She’s my mate and I respect her.Guilt hacked i
(Migumi’s POV)In the soft glow of the young daylight, I sat perched on the edge of my bed, staring at the clock on the wall. I closed my eyes as soon as the hand pointed at eight, indicating the time I have wasted sorting my thoughts.I have been awake since four o'clock. I didn't want to disturb anyone, so I just stayed still in my spot, not wanting to call Nora. Besides, I needed time alone.All I could think about the moment I opened my eyes was what's going to happen to me next?The royal werewolf prince is kind enough to accommodate me in his place, but I know that I can't stay here for long. It’s only a matter of time before people start calling him out.I don't want to trouble the prince. He’s too kind to receive such backlash from his subjects.I have to—My thoughts were quickly interrupted when the door suddenly opened and a tall figure came inside carrying a tray laden once again.The warm, buttery, and sweet scent of the freshly cooked pancakes wafted through the air, dis
(Migumi’s POV)Seeing the tear-streak faces of the young civilian werewolves made my heart clenched in pain. Their soft cries were like knives stabbing my chest. I tried to maintain the reassuring smile on my face, but my tears betrayed me.I wanted to be a pillar of strength for them.These children are already scared as it is.I have always known that Alpha Cyrus is evil, but I never imagined that he would stoop so low as to allow his soldiers hunt innocent and defenseless children.In the past, he used to use prisoners as prey to train his soldiers. He would make them chase after them like savages. If they managed to escape, then they are spared, but if caught, then Alpha Cyrus would be laughing at their severed heads.That cruel Alpha must have lost for resorting to using children for his wicked training methods. It’s a clear sign of his untreatable fucked up mind.“Please, help us, Luna Dianne. I can't run anymore,” one child begged, pulling my dress.My hand gently wiped the tea
(Migumi’s POV)Amidst the cloudy weather, we embarked on a journey across the town, our hearts heavy with hope for safety. I had to throw away some of my baggage, so that the four young werewolves could squeeze themselves at the back, while I sat here at the front seat with the Prince.He hasn't spoken a word since we left, but I know that inside his head is a million thoughts running at the same time.My guess is that we have been traveling for about three hours now. It’s almost lunch time, and I know that the pups are already starving at the backseat.If only I had brought some snacks to feed them.“Only two minutes from here is a charming bakeshop. We can stop by to have some of their fresh bread and hot drinks,” Prince Aiden suddenly said as if he could read my mind. I was just thinking about telling him that. “Are you a fan of bread?” he asked.“Yesss!!!”The children chimed in unison, making me chuckle.I guess that's where he bought the croissant he got me last week. It tasted
(Migumi’s POV)I stood there, my heart racing with anticipation, my eyes closed, waiting for the moment that Prince Aiden would finally close the gap on our faces. I could feel his hot breaths hitting against my face, his warm presence close to me.My toes curled as I felt the cool breeze blowing my hair. I knew right then that I needed his kiss to give me warmth.But instead of the subtle kiss I had been dreaming of, I felt a gentle touch in my lips. It didn't feel like a kiss. It felt like a thumb brushing against mine.Confused, I opened my eyes, only to find Prince Aiden staring back at me with a teasing smile plastered on his face.“Are you pouting?” he asked, his voice a hint of playfulness.My face instantly turned red in embarrassment. I looked away immediately, avoiding his gaze. I could still feel him smirking even when I’m already looking at the other side.What was that, Migumi?!Were you actually thinking that the Prince would kiss you?!Is it because of the potatoes that
(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
(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
