Serena's POVAfter Sylvia left the palace, everything had been a breath of fresh air.Everyone, servants and guards included, became somewhat freer to express themselves and I wasn't always trying to be a step ahead of her if she was plotting something.It was like she was the dark cloud hanging around the palace and now, it's finally lifted.Even after the scandal, things still weren't that bad. Yes, everyone is working tirelessly to find who this corrupt wolf is but there is no pressure.Maybe it's because Arden tells us that.Speaking of Arden, he has been very busy lately. He is always releasing statements, addressing the pack and going for council meetings a lot these days.I don't know how to feel about it because we haven't necessarily talked about ourselves after the night we shared.I try not to think about it though but it was a night I won't forget. For the first time, I didn't feel like a servant or a sneaky link.I felt like his mate.I wish he were here so I could at lea
Serena's POVI looked around admiring every bit of detail put in this place and I'm in awe. Soon, Rachel took to the stand and gave a speech."As we all know, today is our beloved Serena's birthday and we want nothing but the best for her. Serena, you have been more than a friend to me. You're like a sister and I will always love you. I hope this is your happiest birthday yet. Cheers.""Here, here." The others echoed.I walked to her and gave her the tightest hug I had in me. "I love you so much Rachel." I pulled from her and I could feel tears about to drop from my eyes."No. No. You promised you won't cry." She said,"I can't help it." I giggled and tried to fan my eyes for the tears to go away."Happy birthday Serena." Gilly said as she hugged me from behind. "It's good to see you happier now.""You knew about this?" I asked."I wanted to tell you but Rachel made me swear I wouldn't tell you. But I told Zone after you left.""You are unbelievable Gilly." I said."Yeah, how dare you
Arden's POVI woke up with a feeling of calmness and warmness. I haven't felt this way in years and it was because of her. The woman that has haunted my very being with her presence and her absence makes me crave her even more.The sunlight hits her face making it glow in the sun but she turns away from it and buried her face on my chest.I chuckled lightly with how adorable she looked after doing that. I kissed her on her forehead and watched as her eyes flutter open."Good morning my darling." I said."Good evening." She said and stretched."How did you sleep?"She smiled. "I slept well. Actually, better than I have in a few days.""It's good to know." I kissed her forehead again. "Darling, I have to go."She furrowed her brows and pouts. "Why?"I wanted to stay all day in bed with her doing nothing but admiring her in all her beauty but I couldn't. I have important things to attend to."I have to meet Gilly concerning the investigation of the corrupt wolf. She said believe she migh
Arden's POVWithin minutes of notifying the Kingdom of what Sylvia and her father plotted, other pack Alphas came for the trial. It was truly shocking to see such a quick response to this situation.I saw Zone walk in and I was surprised he would be here to witness the trial. A part of me believes Serena asked him to go just in case I might be attacked.I chuckled to myself at how funny yet adorable that is. She needs to understand that I am the King and I can also protect myself. But it's Serena, she never listens to reasons like that.I decided to pay attention to the trial but it was generally boring. With a lot of talks and back and forth. It took me everything not to yawn and walk out of here. That would be disrespectful but then again, do I care?"If I am going to be tried, His Majesty should be too." Those were the words from Sylvia's father that got my attention."He had a mistress and his wife to be, my daughter was on the same roof as him." He bellowed."That doesn't justify
Sylvia's POVI was alone and broken. I had no family, no friends and no allies. I was completely alone. I have never felt this way in my life. I, Princess Sylvia, who had a good number of guards and servants under my control had no one to turn to.I missed my father and I lost without him. He would always tell me what to do. He always said there's always a way out of a problem but I don't see any way out. He was a good father and he looked out for me the best way he knew now. He wasn't ruthless enough.If he had listened to me and launched an attack on Arden the moment he kicked me out, Arden would have been in shambles. He would be begging me to come back to him and I would have gone back to him because I love him. Unfortunately, he didn't feel the same.I had to steal food to get by and I had to hide in abandoned buildings to spend the night. This was an awful way to live my life. Not even the slaves in the palace lived like this. They had a bed to sleep in, a comfortable room and f
Sylvia's POVShe looked at me with a blank expression. She must wonder why it's taking me so long to decide on if I agree with her. To be honest, I want to agree with her."Do I know you can trust you?" I asked.She cackled loudly. "Trust me? You are really talking about trust? Says the wolf betraying her people. But no matter what, I know what you mean."She cleared her throat. "You wanted power to get back at the Lycan's King's Luna, right?" She asked."You know what I want. Stop playing games!" I yelled."May I remind you that you are the one who called me out for my help," something possessed me and I could feel my bones cracking. I screamed with the pain I felt. "So, don't test my patience."She stopped what possessed me and I fell to the ground. She tuts and walks around me."Oh dear, you are pathetic. Still pinned to a man who doesn't love you but you direct all your anger and hatred to his Luna." She said,"That's not true. His mate is the person who ruined things for me. I am
Serena’s POVZone didn’t let me watch the execution because he thought it wasn’t I should be watching which I hated. I didn’t want to do it out of spite though. I felt bad for Sylvia. I know she has wronged me in more ways then I can count but I just felt an execution was a little too much.I heard she even confronted Arden after the execution and guards admitted that she threatened him but Arden was unbothered for some reason.I don’t have a good feeling with Sylvia still being out there because who knows what she is up to and what or who she is scheming with.She’s truly desperate and she will reach out to anyone for help. She has nothing to lose after all. I just hope I am wrong but I am usually not wrong about these things.Also, I don’t want to bother anyone else with my thoughts. Everyone seems like they are finally breathing fresh air and I don’t want to be the person to dampen the mood. I will just sit back and watch the activities in the palace return back to normal.Arden go
ANOTHER DISASTERSerena's POVAfter spending some intimate time with Arden, I decided to meet my friend who gave Arden that ridiculous advice. I wanted to confront them and ask why they would think of such an idea but I had another plan in mind.I entered Rachel's room and both her and Gilly were seated there. They looked at me like they knew nothing about Arden's proposal and the public knowing about the proposal. They looked excited and they tried their best to hide that excitement."Hey, Arden was looking for you." Rachel said."Oh, I already saw him." I said and chuckled. "And he mentioned something very funny. Apparently, the whole kingdom knows I'm his Luna now which is strange because he hasn't asked me to marry him yet."They both looked scared and I was glad with the reactions I got. I need them to realize the gravity of what would happen if that plan did go wrong. Also, this was very fun to watch. I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they realize I am just messin
