Thea POV I sat on the table shifting and turning uncomfortable on my seat. I wasn't enjoying the party one bit, and the whole shit was going on again. I just needed to go to my room to relax my head as soon as I could. I turned to Damian to whisper to his ears and tell him that I would like to get back to my room as the coronation had already been done and it was just the party time. Damian looked at me in confusion to ask if there was anything wrong, and I shook my head, so he said that I wasn't enjoying that I could retire back inside. "Fine then, you can go." He said, and I took my leave after bowing happily to him and some other important guests at the table. After making sure I ate to my full and stood up from the table. Damian instructed a guard to me who was meant to follow me until I reached there successfully but I unfortunately couldn't reach there in time. When I thought I had gone missing, something wasn't adding up. I'm sorry because it isn't mine. I got to my
Thea POV "Who are you?" I screamed as I jerked away from the light. It was so bright that if I hadn't covered my face, then I would have gone blind. There was no answer, but instead, the light kept reducing; the light dimmed a little, and the person behind it began to show his/her face gradually. It was a woman, not just a woman. She looked mysterious with full grey hair. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" I repeated as I moved backward, trembling in fear. "My daughter..." She began as she studied me while laughing mysteriously. "I'm not your daughter!" I retorted. "Thea, you'll die a mysterious death just like the past Luna did." She said, and I stood in shock as the strange woman spilled out what she claimed to be the truth about me. "What? No, no. It can't be!" I protested and I was about to tell her how she was mistaken because I wasn't the true Luna of the pack. It's a contract arrangement, and once my three months are done, then I'll be a free m
Damian POV Finn, my beta walked into my office to find me in deep thoughts."Good day, my King." He greeted.I was crowned the King a few days ago after choosing Thea as my Luna and Queen in front of everyone."What is it?" I asked, frowning."My King, I brought information concerning the Luna. I'm sorry it's coming late but we've been so busy with the coronation." He said and dropped a file of papers on my desk."You can go." I dismissed him.I had told him to get all the necessary information about Thea after my father allegedly said that Thea was a witch.I scanned through the papers, her whole biography was before me.Thea was a servant at the Shadow Moon pack because her parents died during a war...I immediately closed it. Thea was by no means a witch or whatever it was that Father said she was. Well, that was already cleared a long time ago before Finn brought the papers today but I decided to scan through to satisfy my curiosity.I walked out of my office to get some fresh ai
Damian POV "Father, you need to stop talking and resting now," Thea said softly. I furrowed my brows at her, that was the first time she had called the King Father. "My daughter, I know I'm not going to get better, so I'm prepared to go from here, but I want you to tolerate each other and be the best of yourselves." My father said weakly as he addressed the two of us. Thea became teary, even though I couldn't see her face but the sudden hoarse voice was clear enough to know that she was grieving inside. I squeezed my father's hand firmly, "Father please, just rest a bit.""It's okay son. I bless the union between you and the Queen. I want you both to be happy together and rule the Kingdom peacefully." These were the last words of my father before he gave up the ghost. His once tight hands around us loosened as he dropped dead right in front of us. "Father..." I called out and rocked his lifeless body on the bed. There was no answer. My father, the King was no more. "Father,
Damian POV"I think this is a better idea." The Elder stood up to second Thea's opinion and all tribe members quietly listened to hear my final decision.I nodded my head as I glanced at Thea, a proud smile playing softly on her face. "I support you all. The opinion is a good one, I think it's already time we get rid of some unnecessary traditions. Placing Kings will be a new law from henceforth." I declared and they all applaud Thea. "Thank you." Thea mouthed softly to me. I smiled at her, she was truly a good soul. Even though our marriage was just a contract, she didn't behave like it.So real.I cleared my throat as I addressed the pack members, "From henceforth the law of burning the corpse of Kings has been lifted. Instead, they'll be placed in a tomb, and we'll frequently visit them to pay our respects." I imposed. "We accept your declaration, our King." Everyone chorused. I passed the order to some guards to get a tomb ready for the King. We placed the King in a tomb and
Thea's POV"Look who we have here." I was lost in thought, scribbling poetry on a paper that I didn't hear the library door creak open fast enough for me to hide. When I heard it, it was already too late, my assaulters have already seen me. Hiding out alone in the library has never been much of a peace but I was left with no choice when the rate at which I was being bullied increased. There was no one to ask for help from because no one really cared about what was being done to an omega or a slave and worst of all an orphan.I grew up without knowing my parents except my grandmother who had been recently sick. Grandma told me they died in war as they were our pack warriors. And the bully increased when the Moon Goddess paired me with the Alpha's son. Could life be any more pathetic?But the joy I found was that my mate didn't resent me as much as they all do, maybe it was the mate bond or he truly cared for me but was helpless because of the taunts of being mated to an omega slave. N
Thea's POV It wasn't Jacob but one of the palace security or maybe a guard because he was dressed in all black and even wore a dark helmet that made it difficult to see his face. Which guard or security had the nerve to stand up to the Beta's daughter? Maybe he was new because Nuella literally lived in the palace ordering everyone around while hovering around Jacob like an annoying bee. Everybody knows her.Everyone would look away when she was up to her cunning tricks because nobody wants to upset the pack's future Luna and get in the wrath of the Alpha. "Excuse you?" Nuella inquired, looking at him with contempt, "Who the fuck do you think you are?"My heart shivered at the thought of my saviour getting in trouble in an attempt to save me but he didn't look like he was scared, instead he pointed to the door, "Run along cowards."Nuella moved towards him menacingly, and her friends cowered behind her in fear at the aura he emits, "you have no right to tell me what to do. Do you kn
Thea's POV The guards came straight to me, holding me in place as they made me go on my knees. "What's going on?" I cried to no one in particular. "You stupid bitch! How dare you try to lure the future Alpha?" Beta Cam barked at me, swinging his hand forcefully across my face, "Now accept the rejection!"I looked towards Jacob who quickly turned his face away, "Ja...jacob, please!" I sobbed, blood spilling down my lips where Beta Cam has slapped me.Nuella grabbed my chin tightly as she spat at my face, "you're just a lowly orphan and you don't deserve Jacob. So accept the rejection now, bitch.""Don't make this harder for us Thea. Just say the words and accept the rejection." Jacob begged from the room.I hung my head, tired from the whole pain and drama, "I, Thea Clover accept your rejection, Jacob Onyx as my mate."Nuella let out a strangled laugh as Jacob and I dropped to the ground, holding our chest in pain. But then the pain faded immediately. Our mate bond was broken.Jacob

Damain POVI searched around but couldn't find Thea, she excused herself a few minutes ago that she wanted to go use the bathroom. But it's been almost 30 minutes and Thea had been out of sight. I signaled Finn, my beta, who was standing guard behind me, "Hey, have you seen the Queen?" I asked him and he shook his head. I was starting to get worried as the crowd and celebration continued without Thea in sight. It wouldn't be right for me to look for Thea. I had been crowned the King, and I couldn't possibly leave the throne empty in front of everyone to go search for her. I turned to Finn, "Go look for the Luna, and make sure you get here with her." I ordered and he left immediately. My father and some other Alphas came forward to pay their respect to me as I was now crowned the King. One after the other all the other Alphas paid their respects to me and even dropped the gifts they came with.Even though I was happy that I finally succeeded my father and also got married to some
Thea POV "Hey, I'm sorry about her. I hope you don't take what she said to heart." Damian said. I nodded to his words and moved to sit at the dressing table."Fine then, I'll go now. You don't need to worry about Pamela; she's just here for the coronation, and after that,t, you'll see her no more." He added. "Okay," I replied and he headed towards the door. "But she said something about the Royal family..." I said and he halted halfway. Damian turned to me sharply, "What did she say about the Royal family?" He asked in an urgent tone. "She said there's so much that I don't know, is there anything wrong with the King or anyone?" I asked curiously. "No, there's nothing you should worry about." He said but I didn't believe him. I peered deeply at his eyes through the mirror, "You sure?" I asked again. "Yes?" I stood up and walked towards him, my eyes never leaving his, "Damain, you can always talk to me about it." I assured him. Even though he was saying that everything was fi
Thea POVDamian helped me off the floor whilst the cheers and applause went on. I had survived the pack's ritual, and everyone was cheering and singing happily for me. Some were even whistling about it. For the first time, I saw the prince smiling. He shot me a big smile as he helped me up. He turned to the crowd and cleared his throat to address them, "As we all know, my Luna to be had passed the ritual, and with the authority vested in me, I hereby pronounce her the future Luna of the western tribe as we await her coronation." He said and raised my hand in victory. The announcement erupted a lot of laughter and cheers from the crowd as their voice rose even higher. The Wolf King walked up to me and threw me into his embrace, "Congratulations, my daughter." He said as he pressed me into his tight hug. But I could feel this uneasiness in him, doesn't he like me?The Wolf King moved closer to Damian to whisper something to him.I was shivering from the cold, and the robe could b
Damian POV I retired to my room with the information my father had just told me. Thea was a witch? But we didn't smell it on her. Werewolves were blessed with this keen sense of smell, and we could detect a supernatural just by their scent, but it was different with Thea. By her scent, we could tell that she's an Omega.The ritual was in three days and then we would confirm Thea's true identity if she was a witch or not. If she was a witch, then she would collapse and die just by drinking the blood of a werewolf bug. If she wasn't, then she'd survive it.******We all gathered in front of a raised altar; a priest was chanting, walking round the altar while Thea knelt before it.She was stripped of her clothes and tied to a robe, ready to go through the process of the ritual.I was hoping and praying upon hope that nothing would go wrong because that would mean I would go through the pain of being forced to marry Pamela, the daughter of the Darkfang pack.The Spirit Weaver started to
