Aurora froze on her spot.She didn’t know what to say or how to react.She did get Lord Kurt to play along with her act…but looked like that it got her into bigger trouble.“Yet this reminded me of another issue.”Damien changed to a more relaxed posture and looked at Aurora intently, “Your youngest
Damien let out a snort.There was no way to tell whether he was happy or mad from that snort.“Fine. Then ask the elders to bring the other candidates here and we will have the first screening right now,” said Damien nonchalantly.Right now?Aurora was caught off guard.It was happening a lot faster
Fiona’s mouth dropped open.She couldn’t believe what he just said and stuttered, “W—Why…What have I done wrong? Your majesty…I—I don’t understand…”Damien’s gaze was cold as ice, “Nobody disrespects the young master and certainly can’t call him ‘silly boy.’ You should feel lucky that I am in a good
The elder decided to give her a second chance and asked, “What do you normally do for leisure? Do you like reading? Painting? Or perhaps gardening?”Aurora shook her head, “I just sit around and do nothing.”“Which school did you graduate from?”“I dropped out of school early. Not a learning materia
Aurora’s mind went blank.Damien didn’t kick her out? But…why?She intentionally downplayed herself. Anyone with a right mind would think that she was not qualified to be the King’s Luna.Yet Damien didn’t explain his decision.He simply got up from his crown and left the room. The elder and Lord Ku
“…I—I don’t know.”He said after a while, “You should pick a pretty lady, I guess?”Damien’s eyes flickered across Aurora’s face, “You believe that Lady Kurt is the prettiest among all of them. So you think I should pick Lady Kurt?”“No, not Lady Kurt!” the boy cried anxiously.“But you said that sh
They ran down the path through the garden and saw Aspen collapsed on the ground not so far from here.The boy rubbed his forehead, with tears circling in his eyes.Standing in front of the boy was Lady Ellington.Aurora rushed to hold the boy in her arms. “Aspen! What happened?”Aspen twitched his l
The tension between them started to build up again.“No.”Aspen replied loudly, “I don’t want to go to your orchard.”Blanc and Gabriel let out a sigh of relief.Ellington looked super embarrassed.“Are you sure? It will be fun. I bet that you have never been to a private orchard opened up just for
Kevian gave her a warm smile. He then shocked everyone by dropping down on one knee.“Congrats, Gamma Aurora,” he said, kissing on the back of her hand. “You deserve all the happiness.”“Kevian, get up,” Aurora whispered. “You’re a king now, you don’t need to do this.”“And you’ll always be my Gamma
The preparations for the wedding began immediately.Damien spared absolutely no expense. He wanted everything perfect—he was obviously going for the wedding of the century.They decided to get married in the castle at Ever Moon Pack, where Aurora grew up at. The venue was quickly transformed into a
Aurora and Damien stood there for a long time. She waited till the last bit of her son’s scent faded before turning away. Sadness filled her heart and it hurt like crazy. She also wondered if she was a bad mother. But she knew this wasn't goodbye forever. Like Aspen said, he would always be her son.
Damien shifted back instantly, pulling Aurora into his arms so tight it almost hurt. But she didn’t care. His heart pounded wildly beneath her ear, like he was terrified she'd disappear if he let go for even a second.“Fuck…Fuck!” he cursed, his voice rough and desperate. “I take my eyes off you for
Aurora looked at Lance nervously. “What do we need to talk about?”Lance glanced at Westin, irritated. “Westin, can you give us a minute?”Westin crossed his arms, leaning against the tent wall with a cold smirk. “I’m her husband. Whatever you want to say, I can hear.”Lance narrowed his eyes but di
Everyone stared at Damien like he'd totally gone crazy—including his own elders.Aurora was already married—to Westin, of all people—and they even had a kid together. What Damien asked was beyond insane.“My King,” one elder tried to reason nervously, glancing between Damien and Aurora like someone
Aurora didn’t close her eyes once that night.Anxiety twisted her heart painfully, filling her with dread. She couldn’t shake the horrible thought that Damien might take out his anger on Aspen just because he thought Aspen was her and Westin’s child. She prayed for him to think harder on what she to
Westin stood tall and powerful on the windowsill, moonlight shimmering around him, casting a fierce glow over his stern features.“I said, let go of my Luna, Damien,” Westin growled, his green eyes locked dangerously onto Damien.Damien’s jaw clenched tightly, eyes blazing with fury. He pulled Auror
Aspen quickly stood before her and opened her tiny arms. "Stay away from my mom you evil King!" he cried, bearing his teeth at Damien. But Damien ignored him. He stepped forward, eyes cold and fierce and fixated on Aurora, voice dangerously quiet. “Did he just call you Mommy?”Aurora instinctively
