Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 115 – We All Suffer
In the weeks that followed, the reports I received from my intelligence unit were utterly disappointing, leading to nothing, a frustrating dead end.No trace of Joanna was found near the Kingdom, no whisper of her whereabouts, no clue to her disappearance. There were notes of the Crown Prince becoming a ghost of his former self, gaunt and depressed, a shadow of the powerful Lycan he was. The monarch was buzzing with rumors, speculation running rampant, since the Royals had never released an official statement about the matter, their silence fueling the gossip mill. And since Joanna had never been formally introduced to the werewolf community, the King was undoubtedly trying to save face, to control the damage from this entire, messy episode.The Prince had kept his mate a secret, failed to formally announce their engagement.He hadn’t even had the chance to reveal his true nature to Joanna, their wedding night was stolen from them by my actions. So, consequently, the Royals were in a

Joanna's Point of View“Two babies! Twins!” I whispered, my voice trembling with disbelief, my eyes glued to the monitor. Two tiny figures lay nestled within me, two precious lives taking shape.And there, unmistakable, were the signs, a boy and a girl, gifts from my husband, miracles growing inside me. Tears streamed down my cheeks, a torrent of joy and wonder, as I stared at them, still unable to fully comprehend the miracle unfolding within me.“My grandchildren!” Mariam squealed beside me, her voice choked with emotion, her eyes brimming with tears.“At last! Moon Goddess, thank you for these precious gifts!” She was crying openly now, all composure lost, her joy overflowing. Never had I seen her so emotional and vulnerable before. This was what she had planned for, what she had risked everything for, the safety of her unborn grandchildren, the future of the Royal bloodline.She took me in a soft embrace, her touch reverent, as if I were porcelain, easily broken.We were both a me

It was late afternoon when Mariam arrived at the Kingdom pier. The yacht had discreetly dropped her off a few kilometers offshore, allowing her to navigate the final stretch to the mooring jetty in a small, unassuming motorboat. There, Chief Warrior Walther waited, as he helped her disembark and secure the vessel. The warrior was her trustee, his assistance was invaluable.As she passed through the guarded gates with Walther, she settled into a waiting SUV, the familiar surroundings a stark contrast to the secluded paradise she had left behind.“Everything quiet on the home front?” she inquired of the warrior, a sigh escaping her lips.“Yes, Your Highness, the situation remains unchanged,” Walther replied mournfully, his tone reflecting the somber atmosphere that permeated the Palace. “Prince Clyde is still not himself. He’s a shadow of the man he once was. But he’s throwing himself into his work, taking on more of the King’s responsibilities. He works late into the night, even Secre

Mariam slipped out of the King's office, leaving him immersed in his weighty responsibilities.She proceeded to the entertainment room, to wait for Walther's arrival. She crashed onto a plush sofa and started to tap impatiently with her manicured nails on the side table, a nervous tic betraying the storm of anxieties swirling within her.She had to persevere, she reminded herself, for Joanna's sake. The young woman was bravely battling the tempestuous cravings of pregnancy, a trial Mariam totally understood, having endured the same intense desires during her own pregnancy with the Crown Prince.Finally, the Chief Warrior entered the room, a satisfied grin spreading across his face.Mariam leaped to her feet with excitement."Do you have it? It's absolutely crucial to have the correct brand. Clyde isn't fond of just any wine."Walther nodded contentedly, presenting her with a bottle of the finest, most exquisite wine."No room for error, Your Highness, this is it," he declared confiden

Crown Prince Clyde’s Point of ViewUtterly exhausted, I slammed the last file shut, the paperwork finally complete.If everything went according to the outlined schedule, this project should be another resounding success, bolstering both the family coffers and the Kingdom’s resources. Thus far, every endeavor I’d poured my energy into had proven profitable, despite my state of mind being far from optimal.Despairingly, I banged my head on my desk, the dull thud a physical manifestation of the ache in my heart.How much longer would I have to struggle with this gaping hole in my soul, this gnawing emptiness in my life? I missed Joanna with an intensity that bordered on physical pain, a longing that eclipsed even the agony I’d felt when she was first taken from me.Every night, I dreamt of her, of our last night together, the memory a bittersweet torture.She would smile at me in my dreams, her lips moving, but no sound would come out. It was as if she was trying to tell me something, t

Crown Prince Clyde’s Point of View stillThe wine was flowing freely, the conversation light and jovial, yet beneath the surface, a current of tension thrummed. Mariam’s forced cheerfulness, Jace’s carefully constructed nonchalance, it all felt too much. A prickling suspicion settled in my gut, a sense of unease I couldn’t quite place, though the welcome distraction kept me from dwelling.I matched Jace drink for drink, a foolish attempt to prove to my mother, and perhaps more importantly, to myself, that I could hold my liquor. But the wine, subtly laced with wolfsbane, had a more potent effect than I’d anticipated. Soon my head began to swim, my vision blurring at the edges. The room seemed to tilt precariously, the laughter and chatter around me fading into a distant, muffled hum.“Easy there, Clyde,” Jace chuckled, lifting another glass of wine in the air. “Don’t want you falling asleep before the celebrations even begin.” There was something ambiguous in his tone, a double meanin

The next morning, I awoke with a splitting headache; the remnants of last night's heavy drinking had significantly dulled my senses.My eyelids felt like lead, and a dry, cottony feeling coated my tongue.As I forced my eyes open, it took a few disoriented moments to get my bearings, to fully comprehend my surroundings. Then, a surge of warmth flooded through me as I remembered Joanna, the passionate night we had together.The initial, almost frenzied desire had given way to a slow, tender exploration, a rediscovery of the deep bond we shared. We had reveled in each other’s arms, lost in a whirlwind of shared passion, creating memories that would forever be etched into my soul. A soft smile crept over my lips as I recalled the way she moaned my name, her body responding in perfect harmony to mine.My hand reached out instinctively, searching for her warmth, only to find the space beside me empty. A jolt of unease coursed through me. I sat up abruptly, my heart pounding in my chest, an

The Kingdom was a whirlwind of activity.Banners in the royal colors fluttered from every available balcony, and the air hummed with the excited chatter of the assembled guests. Servants scurried about, making last-minute adjustments to the decorations, while musicians tuned their instruments, preparing to fill the grand hall with festive melodies. Secretary Jace's mating ceremony, was just an hour away, and the preparations were reaching a fever pitch. Elena, the chosen bride, had been discreetly escorted to Jace's family estate nestled in the rolling hills outside the Palace walls.Back in his opulent Palace apartment, Jace meticulously prepared for the ceremony. He donned the traditional attire of his office – a richly embroidered tunic of deep crimson, a heavy sash of woven gold, and a jeweled clasp that shimmered with an array of precious stones. Satisfied he studied his reflection in the full-length mirror.Alessandro, sitting on a plush velvet chaise, watched him with a nagging

Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 167 – EPILOGUE: Echoes of Destiny
Twenty years later... "Come on, Clyde, the boys could arrive at any moment. Why are you dawdling today?"Queen Joanna expressed her irritation at her mate's sluggishness, who seemed in no rush to welcome their sons.The Princes had spent two years in Latin America, undergoing rigorous training alongside the sons of Joyce, Alira, Alia, Elena, and Janice. The younger generation had received basic combat and strategy training, a biannual rite of passage overseen by the Council, while the older ones immersed themselves in advanced studies of logistics, business, and management. Among them was Crown Prince Joachim-Georg, his return eagerly awaited. His triplet sisters, however, remained in the Kingdom, much to their displeasure.The eldest, Princess Ciciane Taylor Mariam, had made such a fuss that Clyde had no choice but to allow her to take martial arts training under Chief Warrior Rubio. This girl was a true rebel, known in many packs as the "warrior Princess of trouble."However, she w

As if he had been waiting for this precise cue for an eternity, Xin surfaced, taking over from his human.Clyde's head took on a shape as if carved from wood, the golden fur shimmering as it manifested on his face. Possessively, he cradled Joanna’s face in his hands, lifting it toward him and kissing every inch of it, a fervent declaration of his love.Caught off guard by the strong, untamed power that enveloped her, Era stiffened, her senses reeling. She closed her eyes, savoring the intoxicating rush flowing through her, a wave of pure, unadulterated energy.“No need to panic, love,” Xin whispered to her, his voice a soothing balm against her surging anxiety. “I have never given you reason to doubt me. What is this?” Era leaned against his chest, surrendering to his silent, persuasive power, her resistance melting away like snow in the summer sun.“Joanna is insecure,” she confided in a low murmur, a confession whispered on the edge of a sigh. “She fears that a fated mate might sudd

As they stood before the grand, imposing doors of the Palace, Butler Clark came before them, his presence as steady as the ancient stones of the building itself.Clark was the same age as Alpha Maceo, but unlike the Alpha, who retained a youthful vigor, the signs of aging were etched deeply into the butler's face, revealing his years of service and loyal duty. Moreover, the butler was not as athletically built, nor did he move with the same fluid grace as Maceo.“Alpha, are you here to speak with the King?” he asked the visitor icy calm, his tone devoid of any warmth. “Please, follow me, the family is on the back terrace, enjoying a moment of respite now that Queen Joanna needs her strength.”Before the Alpha could offer a reply, Clark turned on his heel, clearly expecting the pair to follow him without question.The Alpha and his granddaughter exchanged a surprised glance, before stepping into the grand foyer. They walked through a long, winding corridor, passing a bustling, fragrant

"What did you say?" Alpha Maceo of the Falcon Crest pack thundered, his voice reverberating through the sterile confines of the Royal doctor's office. "Man, run the tests again! This… this cannot be true!"His face, normally a picture of composure and quiet strength, was now flushed crimson, a mask of disbelief and rising fury. He glared at Doctor Andrew, who sat calmly across the polished mahogany desk, his expression carefully neutral. Andrew held out the thin sheets of paper with the results.He read the conclusions aloud, his voice steady, each word a hammer blow to Maceo's bewildered mind, shattering the carefully constructed facade of his reality."Alpha, these are simple English words, and I assure you, I read them correctly," Doctor Andrew sighed, his eyes reflecting a quiet understanding of the turmoil raging within the older man. "And I assure you, I have run these tests five times. I could hardly believe it myself. But your wolf knows the truth. During the collaboration to

Nervously Sybille stepped into her new mate's apartment.Even though they had spent hours together in the vehicle returning to the pack, he had barely spoken to her. Kenrick had worked on his iPad the entire trip. He checked news channels reporting on events in the Kingdom and Woodland. He was meticulous, his brow furrowed in concentration.His phone also constantly buzzed and vibrated.His colleagues worldwide wanted his personal account of the events surrounding Alpha Abel and the Royals. He answered them with clipped, precise words, his voice a low rumble.Although he always treated her respectfully, she could clearly feel his underlying power.Kenrick was definitely Alpha material. His dominance and confidence radiated from him. The intense look in his eyes demanded obedience. His strong grip on her hand, when he did touch her, revealed his inner strength.Sybille knew she should not underestimate him.She had not interacted much with him before. Her attention was constantly focus

In Woodland, a convoy of vehicles, somber and silent, rolled to a halt before the imposing, massive gates.Three vehicles peeled away from the main group, one of them a hearse carrying the body of the fallen Alpha Abel. A lone warrior approached the lead vehicle, where Kenrick sat in the back with Sybille.As the guard drew closer, he inhaled deeply, his senses sharp, and his eyes widened in shock."Alpha Kenrick," he stammered, disbelief thick in his voice. "We received no word of your arrival. We knew Alpha Abel was defeated since the pack link with him was severed, but the circumstances were shrouded in rumors."The warrior sprinted back towards the gates and pressed a button.The heavy gates began to slide open, granting the cars access to the pack lands. He sent an alert through the mind link, informing the pack of Kenrick's sudden arrival.A flurry of activity erupted within the packhouse.There was no time for formal celebrations or to prepare a grand welcome. Everyone rushed t

“Clyde,” Joanna murmured weak as she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze meeting his.The Crown Prince, his face carved in relief and overflowing with joy, kissed her all over her face as his heart is overflowing with gratitude. The past few minutes had been a terrifying ordeal for the entire family, a roller coaster of emotions that had left them breathless.“Yes, I’m here with you,” Clyde beamed emotionally. “You scared the hell out of me, my love. What would become of me without you by my side? If you ever decide to leave, don’t forget to take me with you, this life is nothing without you.”Joanna smiled, her eyes filled with a deep, unwavering love.With difficulty, she lifted her hand to stroke his face, her touch feather-light, her eyes shining with an affection that transcended words.“Will you mark me now? Make me your legal wife and my werewolf mate?”The Crown Prince laughed, a sound of pure, unadulterated relief, and pulled her tightly against him, his tears glistening in the

Crown Prince Clyde stood at the head of the large Council Board table, his posture rigid as the hall began to fill with spectators, their eyes eager and whispers buzzing with anticipation.Everyone was curious about the recent, chaotic events, and it was crucial to provide clear explanations, to dispel the confusion that hung heavily in the air. Once everyone had taken their seats and the Royals stood at some distance in front of him, Clyde addressed the attendees, his voice resonating with a solemn gravity.“As you all know, my wife, Joanna, was the fated mate of Alpha Abel,” he stated the obvious. “With his death, the bond was broken, not only with the marked mate but also with my wife. But Joanna is human, and she carries my twin pups, which adds an immense burden to her already fragile state.”He paused, letting his words sink in, as he heard gasps of shock ripple through the room.Some whispered among themselves, their voices laced with accusation, blaming him for what had happen

"Jace, I can’t bear to lose her," the Crown Prince softly growled with anguish, as he leaned heavily against the cold, sterile wall outside the ward where Joanna was being examined.His knuckles were white, his body trembling with suppressed terror."What could have caused all this? Was it the breaking of the bond with Alpha Abel?""I believe so. Sybille went through the same experience, but her Lycan helped her through it," the Secretary replied gravely. "Joanna is only half-transformed, and her wolf is still too weak. And the pups, man, this is dire."Fifteen agonizing minutes later, the doctor emerged from the examination room, his face a mask of grim concern, his shoulders slumped with a heavy weariness. Clyde and Jace rushed towards him, their hearts pounding with dread. The doctor's posture alone spoke volumes, painting a bleak picture."Doctor, my wife…" the Crown Prince stammered with fear. "Will she be okay? I beg you, do everything in your power to save her. Joanna must reco
