~Storme~

It was finally the day of the meeting. Honestly, it wasn’t something that I was looking forward to.

Meeting my stepmother again after all these years was a wound that I didn’t want to reopen.

But then; I guess I can’t escape things like this with the kind of position that I’d been given.

Grace and I moved around, inspecting every inch of the room. Servants darted from one side to the other, arranging the last few details, ensuring everything was perfect before the arrival of the other Lunas.

Everything looked just as it should. Elegant. Refined.

"Are you sure it looks alright?" I asked, glancing at the long table set for the Lunas of the different Packs. “I feel like this isn’t enough. Do you think more Lilies should be added to this table?”

"Everything is in order, Your Highness," Grace reassured me, her smile soft. "Just relax. You’re ready for this."

I wanted to believe her. I really did. But my heart was racing, and the nerves clawed at me, making it hard to focus on any

    ~Theo~“You’ve become really sloppy,” Fred said, swinging his blade at me. I narrowly avoided it, a tight grin curling at the corner of my mouth.“You're the one who’s sloppy,” I retorted, stepping back to regain my balance.I gripped the hilt of my sword tightly, my muscles straining as I dodged Fred’s attack. Perspiration formed on my face, and my breath came in short gasps.“You sure about that?”Fred’s attack came quicker this time. He directed a fake swing at me and immediately followed up with a quick jab. I blocked the strike, feeling the force of the return attack on my arm. “Alright,” Fred agreed reluctantly, “I’ll admit, you’ve gotten faster. But you can’t deny that you’re distracted.”“Distracted?” I raised an eyebrow as I brought my sword up to block his next attack.“You’ve been distant,” Fred said, pressing the attack. “I’ve noticed you haven’t been fully engaged during our trainings lately. It feels like your mind is somewhere else.”I didn’t answer him right away. He

    ~Storme~“I heard that you caused quite the ruckus in the meeting today.”The news of what happened had gone more viral than I thought it would. I guess it was unheard of for a queen to simply ban a Luna because they were in disagreement. In fact, as the meeting ended and I left for my room, I heard whispers of the servants already calling me ‘The intolerant queen’, which I didn’t really mind.I’ve had enough of everyone trying to stomp all over me. That incident made me realize it. From now on, I will match any energy given to me. It was far more exciting than cowering and trying to be a good queen.King Marcellus had sent for me barely hours after it was over. He didn’t just need me to clarify what was wrong. Knowing a bit about his personality, he was probably pissed at my show of power.He’d warned and reminded me severally to never try to show my powers as a queen to the public because the title was just a show for him. Too bad, I’m not going to listen to him anymore. I’m abo

    ~Theo~Being the king’s son does have its own advantages. For instance, being able to get into any room in the palace at will, which explains why I’m in Storme’s room tonight. I’d wanted to speak with her after the incident, but she was already gone by the time I got here.She would be in my father’s room right now, attending to him.I felt my heart explodiy like an airbag. It wasn’t out of joy. It was out of jealousy. Of course, I was jealous. This was why we needed to talk about so many things, making our relationship public inclusive.The secret love was already getting tiring. It’s a matter of time before we get caught anyway. So why not just make it public ourselves?I clicked her door shut, walked to her bed, and laid on it. It felt as soft as her skin, and I bet the pillows were filled with her scent as well.Taking the pillow on her side of the bed, I brought it to my face and inhaled deeply. A sly smile covered my face as I did so.“Hmm,” I breathed, “Such a bad girl. You’v

    ~Storme~I woke up the next morning feeling so light. That was probably the best sleep that I’ve had in a while. Enclosed in warmth, a little smile played on my lips when I saw Theo still beside me.Last night was the first time that we’d been together for hours without trying to eat each other up. We’d spoken about a lot of things and tried to know more about ourselves. A few times, I almost slipped and told him about the weird things that I noticed about me, but I stopped myself just in time. I couldn’t let anyone know. Not until I was sure what was wrong with me.Last night, I had poured my burdens into him, allowing him to share the ache and the frustrations that I felt. And he had held me closer all through.It almost felt like a date. Just pure tenderness and sweetness. It made me almost feel like I was falling in love with him.I lay still for a moment, simply watching him as he slept, his breathing deep and steady. Even in sleep, he was breathtaking. His strong jaw relaxed,

    ~Storme~You’re dangerous,” Theo murmured, tracing lazy circles along my spine.Proud was an understatement of what I felt. I’d pleasured the almighty Theo. It wasn’t just a one-way thing now. And the way he had whimpered under my control…phew.There was nothing sexier.“What do you expect from an alpha wolf who goes by Storme?” I retorted, giggling. “Of course, I’ll be dangerous.”He drew me closer to him and planted a kiss on the crook of my shoulder. Slowly, he began to go down, until he got to the sweet spot on my neck.“Baby,” he rasped, running his hand down my arm, “Why don’t you let me mark you? We’ve been doing this secretly for a while and I’m so eager to show you off to everyone as mine.”For a moment, I was tempted to say yes to his proposal. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? He’s my fated mate after all. Wolves are supposed to celebrate members who are finally able to be with goddess chosen mates because that would mean becoming better and stronger at anything you do

    ~Storme~Her house wasn’t as rough and unkept as I expected it to be. After I discreetly asked Grace to get me the directions to the Tribe’s oracle, I’d expected to see calabashes, talisman, and all the other things that I’ve seen oracles use.But it was unexpectedly clean. Without being told, one wouldn’t even know that the occupant of the house is a shaman.I tiptoed in when no one answered my knock after the third time.“Hello?”I peered in, not wanting to invade more privacy than I already have. Silence greeted me once again.“Could she have gone somewhere?” I muttered.This was such a waste of effort. Finding her place had been a hassle, and even taking time not to be seen by the king or anyone who would report to him. There was no sign of her anywhere close.I turned, intent on leaving. But an object caught my attention. It was a glass globe-like thing that had markings all over it. Quite rare, and not something that could be seen anywhere.“I wonder what all these writings mean

    ~Storme~Almost a week after, and nothing has changed. Marcellus must still not have believed anything that Geniee told him, because from the next day, I noticed a particular set of guys following me discreetly wherever I went.Five werewolves whom I was sure were omegas. They were so bad at being discreet that I wondered how they had survived for so long as the king’s spies.Because of this as well, I also minimized the time I spent with Theo. I was already desperately missing him, but all I could do was talk to him through our mind-link. Our phones were almost useless.Ever since I gained the mind-link ability, I barely knew where my phone was, unless there was something that I needed to research on or a book that I needed to read from my favorite author.Which was why I decided to come to the library this afternoon. Theo had said that it contained almost everything one might want, and with its gigantic structure, that was to be expected.“Where could it be?” I muttered as I searche

    ~Theo~The second Storme stepped out of her room, I knew I was in trouble.“You look…stunning” I gushed.If I was being honest, she looked more than stunning. So stunning that I could barely breathe properly as I looked at her. She was like a moonlit lake. A sunrise breaking through the clouds.She had no idea what she did to me. No idea how dangerously good she looked when she walked toward me, the mini sequined dress riding up her thighs, her lips painted a sinful shade of red.Red. Just like I asked.I leaned against the wall, arms crossed, letting my gaze sweep over her, slow and deliberate.“You listened.” My voice came out rougher than I intended.She arched a brow, tilting her chin up. “Of course I did. But this better be worth it.”I grinned, pushing off the frame and closing the distance between us. “Oh, baby doll,” I murmured, brushing my thumb along the curve of her bottom lip. “It’s going to be more than worth it.”Storme’s breath hitched, but she held her ground. That was

    ~Theo~Days after, I avoided Storme as much as I could. Her rejection had hurt me tremendously, more than I ever imagined that I could. Choosing to stay with my father rather than building a new life with me? I could never understand that. What was she so afraid of, anyway? I’d told her countless times that I was going to protect her.A sigh of defeat left my lungs as I covered my face with my hands. My body has felt weak ever since, unable to do most of the things that it used to. Maybe a run would do me some good right now. Yes, I should do a bit of sprinting.Willing my body to move with me, I stood and went to the little door hidden in the deep crevices of my closet. It was a door that led to a very private and secret place where the royal family could go for a run and get back into their rooms without worrying about their nakedness.The moment I transformed into my wolf and began to sprint through the woods, the wind hitting my fur, my paws hitting the soil, trying to drain my

    ~Theo~The moment we stepped back into the hall, I felt the shift in the air, and the change in Karen’s body language.She had recovered quickly from her shock, too quickly for my liking.I kept my expression neutral, but my body remained tense, every nerve on high alert.Karen sat gracefully in her seat, her lips curling into a knowing smile as she swirled the wine in her glass. “This is interesting,” she mused, her gaze flicking between me and Storme.Storme didn’t react. She was always careful, always guarded. But I could feel the way her pulse had quickened, how she had subtly shifted, and how her body turned stiff.Karen knew something, but she wasn’t going to expose us. At least not yet. She wanted to play the long game.I clenched my jaw, my mind already working through the possibilities. If she had wanted to ruin us immediately, she would have screamed the truth the moment she saw us together. But instead, she was choosing to bide her time, to weave a web of manipulation bef

    ~Storme~As Theo and I walked side by side into the palace’s private garden, I couldn’t stop the thoughts that kept on warring inside of me. I couldn’t hold off the jealousy that I’d felt seeing another woman trying to lay claim on my mate.My heart was beating an unsteady rhythm, but my face remained composed.The moon goddess must be having such a fun time, seeing how she had managed to turn such sensitive matters into a game. Maybe this was part of the cruel fate that she had prepared for me.Get married to the father, and be the son’s mate.I must really applaud her for her twisted sense of humor.Theo had barely spoken since he followed me out of the dinner. I could feel his emotions crackling in the air between us; anger, frustration, perhaps a little bit of desire.His fists were clenched at his sides, his jaw tight. I thought that I could have apologized for the way I acted, but I didn’t think that I did anything wrong. He was the one who had allowed her talk about his sexine

    ~Storme~“You haven’t said a word to your fiancée since she arrived, son,” Marcellus grunted, popping a forkful of steak in his mouth, “Isn’t that rude?”Theo’s jaw tightened, and his fingers drummed against the table in agitation. But before he could speak, Karen turned to him with a radiant smile.“I think he’s just overwhelmed to see me, Your Majesty.” she purred, resting a hand on Theo’s arm as if she had every right to. “It’s been far too long, Theo. Didn’t you miss me even a little bit?”Theo didn’t respond immediately, his body tense beneath her touch.“And you seem to have been working out more these days. You’re all so bulky more than you used to be. And you look even more sexy.”Oh, now she’s feeling him up like dough. And what does she even know about his muscles? I slid a aside glance towards her all snuggled up in Theo’s arm.And why wasn’t he trying to get out of her grasp? Was he enjoying her touch that much?Hmph! So much for telling me how much he wanted to imprint

    ~Storme~The next day, Grace prepared me for the introductory dinner which the king had called for Theo’s fated mate.Even as Grace helped me with my clothes, hair, and makeup, I still felt uneasy. There was this tightness in my chest, almost as if my windpipe had been blocked. Air could hardly penetrate, and before I knew it, I couldn’t take it anymore.I clutched my chest, bending over and gasping for breath. A shaky breath left my lips, and I began to feel the beginning of a sob bubbling in my throat.“Your Highness,” Grace asked, concern etched on her forehead, “are you alright? You suddenly look pale.”What was this feeling?Why did I feel like I was about to lose something extremely dear to me?‘You know you could always let him know that you don’t want to see him with any other girl instead of letting us suffer like this.’ Sunny whispered in my head. ‘Just tell Theo. He’d do anything for you.’‘This isn’t about Theo, Sunny,” I mind-linked, “I just feel sick.”‘The very moment y

    ~Storme~“Why am I suddenly having so many unfortunate incidents in my life lately?” I muttered as I made my way to my room, clutching the book to my chest like a baby.Getting to my room, I brought up the book, my heart aching at the roughened edges and the bent spine.“Who was that crazy girl by the way?” I fumed, trying my best to smoothen the cover. “She’s so lucky that I’m trying to avoid any more attention this week. I could have dragged her all over that library by her hair. Stupid bitch!”I had barely finished straightening it to my taste when someone rapped on my door. It sounded urgent so I quickly went over to see who it could be.Theo stood at the door, his charming personality on display. I turned just as he shut the door behind him, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. He looked breathless, his broad shoulders rising and falling as he flashed me a dangerous smile.A rush of warmth spread through my chest, wicked, and intoxicating at the same time. The anger that I felt

    ~Storme~After the frustration of everything that had happened within the week, I decided to go to my most favorite spot in the palace; the library.Thankfully, the two people who I was avoiding the most right now weren’t heavy users of the library. Marcellus had a whole study in his wing, while Theo wasn’t a very heavy reader. So, the library was always almost empty or occupied with a few sets of people.I sighed contentedly as I leaned against the chair, the pages of my book putting a smile on my face. This was one of the few places where I could be alone, where no one expected anything from me because of my title. Here, I was just Storme; a lover of books, and a seeker of quiet moments.That quiet moment, however, seemed to elude me because of the bad decisions that the female lead kept making. I wanted to reach into the book and give her a vigorous shake so that she would quit making decisions that would hurt her at the end.“She’s stressing me out so bad,” I murmured, sighing

    ~Storme~“I can’t believe this. How could you betray my trust in this manner? I trusted you!”I couldn’t tell if I was upset because she had lied to me, or because it was with the last person that I expected it to be. And why does everyone need to sneak around to love themselves? Is there no more free love in the world?Grace stood by the window, her head bowed deeply. Her lips parted as if to explain herself, but I beat her to it."What were you thinking? I thought we were closer than that. You couldn’t even tell me about that?"Grace flinched but quickly lifted her chin in defiance. "Your Highness, it's not what you think. We weren’t—""I saw you," I cut her off. "By the lake. You and Fred. You were kissing. A minute later and you two would have swallowed each other’s faces. Do you still want to tell me that it isn’t what I think it is?"Color bloomed across her cheeks, and she looked down again. I knew that I was being too touchy about a subject that wasn’t really mine to care abou

    ~Storme~I paced around my room, gazing occasionally from my window to see if I could get a glimpse of Theo and the king. I wondered what they could possibly be talking about.It’s almost been thirty minutes and they haven’t gotten back. I haven’t seen signs of either Theo or his father.Maybe he already knew about us? Or was it about Theo’s mating to his chosen mate?I exhaled deeply and plopped on the bed. I’ve always known that the risk of what Theo and I were doing was too much.A knock rapped at my door as I was still berating myself, and a servant walked in.“Your Highness, the king is demanding to see you right now.”My heart jumped straight into my mouth. I swallowed hard, trying to put on a mask of indifference.“The king? Did he tell you why he wanted to see me?”The maid shook her head. “He just said to make sure you come to his room immediately.”I waved the maid away and straightened my clothes. I haven’t had the chance to take off the shimmery dress that I’d used for the
