Kingsley's POV
"Well, I mean you two look so different."I had just reached the office door when I heard this.Could someone please explain what was happening here?I'd only been gone for a moment, and now my Luna was talking animatedly to someone about her Alpha?Finley's voice rang out, "Kingsley is exceptional. As the eldest son of the Lycan King, he was raised to uphold the highest standards and has never tarnished the Lycan bloodline since becoming the Alpha of his pack. He is well-tempered, patient, and has diligently trained each and every one of the pack, leading the pack to its current state. I won't lie, everyone in the pack trusts him."Just as my heart warmed at Finley's words, Freya's voice suddenly interjected, "Wait, are you sure you're talking about the same person I know?""In all my life, I've never encountered someone with a worse personality than him, who seemingly would get angry about everything. Every time he gets upset, he wFreya's POVSoon after, production commenced on The Luna of the Lycan King in a discreet manner.No media notifications were issued, and news of the filming kickoff remained undisclosed on all platforms.Even every cast and crew member signed a non-disclosure agreement, obligating them to refrain from uploading any photos, videos, or audio recordings related to the shooting location.Violation of the contract would result in termination, fines, and a threefold payment of liquidated damages.The opening ceremony proceeded exceptionally smoothly.On that occasion, I finally had the chance to meet the male and female lead actors of the drama.Perhaps due to some unknown reasons, the pace of filming picked up right from the outset.A member of the crew divulged that Michael aimed to wrap up the production before the year's end.While my role wasn't extensive, it was rather diverse in nature.Following a full day of shooting, I felt fine aside from the discomfort caused by the weighty cost
Freya's POVIt took a considerable amount of effort to relocate Kingsley to his own room. After sweating, I went to take another shower before lying down on the bed and slipping into a deep sleep.The following day, upon waking up, I descended the stairs. Kingsley, who had returned to his usual self, was having his breakfast. Upon noticing me, he turned his head awkwardly and mumbled, "Your breakfast is ready and still hot."I flinched momentarily, then responded, "Thank you, but I need to head to the hospital now."Unexpectedly, Kingsley chimed in, asking, "Do you need a ride?"I froze for a moment and replied, "Don't bother. I still need to go to the theater after my visit to the hospital. You can go to deal with your own things."With that, I departed and soon found myself en route to the hospital.My mother Livia's condition remained unchanged. Since that day when she had reacted to watching the videotape chronicling my life from childhood to adulthood, there hadn't been any oth
Kingsley's POVI drove on, glancing in the rearview mirror at Freya seated in the car, wearing a displeased expression, while sunlight bathed her resolute face.I pursed my lips slightly and said patiently, "There's a Chamber of Commerce event being held on a cruise ship tonight, and you're accompanying me.""What?" Freya asked, turning her head, looking somewhat surprised.I calmly responded, "Yes, I thought a cruise ship experience might appeal to you, especially since you've never been on one."Freya raised an eyebrow, displaying mild disinterest. "Well, it doesn't seem necessary for me to go. Don't you have several beautiful secretaries in your company? Couldn't you just pick one of them to accompany you?" Freya hesitated, her reluctance apparent.Observing her hesitation, I grew somewhat irritated. "You're my Luna, and of course, I want you there."Freya opened her mouth as if to reply but ended up saying nothing. Without waiting for me to spe
Freya's POVI bowed to the crowd and then inclined my head toward Kingsley."Alpha, may I leave now, please?"I really didn't want to spend another minute here, and I didn't want to give Tracy any more opportunities to insult me.Kingsley nodded, and I seized the chance to quickly exit the dining area, leaving the ballroom and heading out onto the deck to blow off some steam.Thinking of a scene from a movie or TV show I had watched before, I playfully placed my feet on the railing and spread my arms wide, feeling the oncoming sea breeze mixed with the scent of the ocean. "I'm the king of the world!"I yelled out to the ocean, feeling the boredom in my heart suddenly swept away."And who am I supposed to be? Your queen?"Kingsley's muffled voice suddenly came from behind me, and I turned with difficulty to see him standing there.His gaze held an unusually dark, lustful gleam that made my heart feel like it was about to burst from my ches
Freya's POVAfter that night, it seemed like a wonderful change was occurring between Kingsley and me.Kingsley and I settled into a routine. If he was at home instead of traveling, I'd play the piano, sing lullabies, or perform other soothing songs, and we'd spend almost every night together, like teenagers falling in love all over again.When that occurred, we would have breakfast together, and then he'd head off to work or a business trip while I continued with my day.It didn't matter how late he came in or how hectic his day was; he always brought me some kind of gift.It amazes me how considerate he can be. Books, jewelry, chocolates, and once even a teddy bear - all of these gifts adorned my bookshelf. However, usually, he would bring me a bouquet of flowers.I was on the set, in the middle of a shoot, when I received an unexpected call from the hospital. I quickly picked up the phone."Freya, you need to come to the hospit
Freya's POV All the voices in my ears seemed distant; only the doctor's voice rang clearly in my ears.Novia's eyes were red, and she held me, saying in a muffled voice, "Freya, you have to be strong. Go inside and take a look."I clenched my hand and whispered, "I'm fine."With that, I headed toward the operating room.Livia lay there quietly, her face covered with an oxygen mask.The mist from her breath was no longer visible on the mask, and the numbers on the instrument next to her had dropped to a very low value.She was so thin that she seemed to blend in with the surgical bed beneath her. All this indicated that the person in the hospital bed was nearing the end of her life.I took her hand. Livia was skilled at painting, and the knuckles of her middle finger were covered with calluses from years of painting.When Livia was healthy, she wasn't particularly thin, so there was s
Freya's POV"The doctor said it's a miracle you were able to conceive, considering your history with wolfsbane. So, Freya, what are you planning to do now?" Novia inquired, fixing her gaze on me.Finley, too, shot a nervous glance my way for a brief moment.I comprehended the underlying message in her words.However, from the moment I discovered my pregnancy, I had no intention of giving up on this child.Despite Kingsley's frequent absence when I needed him the most and the fact that this child wasn't a product of love, this baby was still my child and would eventually become part of my family.I placed my hand on my stomach and met Novia's gaze. "I will have the baby."Novia nodded, displaying no surprise at my decision.It suddenly dawned on me that Kingsley's mother had administered wolfsbane in the medicine she had given me earlier. She had also frozen all my financial assets when my mother was critically ill
Kingsley's POVThe people around me who attended the funeral offered to step aside.I tightened my lips and walked over to Freya with a solemn expression.In just a few days, Freya had lost a considerable amount of weight, and at this moment, her face appeared pale.The moment I saw her, my heart ached.I stepped forward and gently placed my hand on Freya's shoulder, casting a cold glance in Theo's direction as my inner wolf let out an angry growl. "What were you about to say?"Theo immediately shifted into a falsely ingratiating smile and inclined his back, "Nothing. I meant to say that I'm certain that you'll take good care of Freya."I gave him a cold glance and remained silent.I turned to Freya and whispered apologetically, "I'm sorry I'm late."Freya replied in a hushed tone, "It's alright. You've always been late after all."As we exchanged looks, Freya's gaze seemed distant, as though I wer
