CEDRIC’S POV

The journey back to Elgin proved to be a grueling one, with the heavy snowfall in Dowin slowing our progress. Despite Venus's initial hostility, he had graciously provided us with a carriage, which had allowed us to take shelter at his manor the previous night.

As I rode in the carriage, Marci noticed my chapped lips and handed me a luxurious fur coat. "My Lord, please wear this," he suggested. I gratefully accepted, wrapping the coat around me. The extra layer of warmth was a welcome relief.

Given the simplicity of our carriage – deliberately chosen to avoid drawing attention to ourselves – there wasn't enough space for me to lie down. I stretched my legs out as far as I could, trying to get comfortable.

Hours passed, and the carriage continued to move steadily along. Marci dozed off, his head bent forward. As the temperature rose, I shed the fur coat, no longer needing its warmth.

I leaned forward, calling out to the coachman, "Hey, how much longer before we reach Elgin

The physician suspects poison, but strangely, she couldn't find any traces of it. I've kept Emmeline in my room, refusing to let anyone near her. I just can't trust that someone won't try to harm her.Just then, Alfred, my personal guard, interrupted my thoughts. "My Lord, Beta Colima is in the lounge, insisting on seeing you today."I've been avoiding my aunt, unsure if I can control my temper after what she did to Emmeline. "Tell her to leave," I instructed Alfred. "I'll see her when I'm ready."Alfred hesitated, his eyes narrowing as if there was something he wasn't telling me. "Speak, Alfred!"

Why would my aunt invite a member of the Council to my manor without warning me? I dismissed Alfred, instructing him to inform our guests th

I suspected poisoning due to the prolonged recovery time, but since no one had entered the dungeon after the guards locked it, I doubted my theory.Now back in my room in Lord Cedric's chambers, I felt relieved to no longer be under constant surveillance. "Lady Emmeline," Juliet said, bowing as she set the tray on the table.I smiled, turning to her. "Please, Juliet, just call me Emmeline. No need for formalities."Juliet let out a sigh of relief. "Thank the goddess! Calling you Lady Emmeline makes you seem old."I burst out laughing at her words. Only my parents and Nima had ever called me by my name; everyone else had addressed me as Lady Emmeline since childhood.Since my return to my room, Juliet had been serving me more often, and we'd grown acquainted. She wasn't a bad company, and I found her pleasant.Juliet helped me out of bed and handed me a cup of cinnamon tea, my

    CEDRIC'S POV I settled into my throne, listening intently as Marci read out the message from Lord Carlos. The annual Blood Moon festival, a grand ball where supernatural creatures of Elgin mingled, was to take place tomorrow night. And I was invited."Why would he invite me?" I asked Marci, curiosity getting the better of me. As a rogue wolf, I was deemed a disgrace to the goddess and never received invitations to such ceremonious occasions.Marci folded the scroll, his expression thoughtful. "I'm certain he's up to something." I sighed, rubbing my forehead. It was too early for this headache.Marci's eyes widened as if a thought had struck him. "Why don't you ask Ava?" My frown deepened at the mention of her name. "And why would I do that?"Marci's tone was matter-of-fact. "We all know Ava fancies you, but she'd never admit it because you're a rogue." I shook my head. "I won't ask her anything. She's obviously spying for her father.”Marci opened his mouth to counter my words, but a

Nima, my nanny, scolded me for my recklessness, but I couldn't help it – I hadn't seen Father in a year.The carriage stopped outside, and Father dismounted, his worn leather coat and weary eyes telling stories of distant lands. I lifted my ball dress and flung myself into his arms."Easy girl, your old man's waist can't carry you anymore," Father teased, pulling my nose.I laughed, basking in his scent. Santos Gray, renowned scientist and my role model.Mother's gentle tap on my head broke the spell. We laughed, entering the house together.Over dinner, Father shared tales of his revolutionary project. I listened intently."Dad, take me to Elgin sometime?"

    Cedric POV I sat on my bed, cigarette smoke curling around me, the bitter scent lingering in the air. Nightmares still haunted me - the memories of Santos Gray slaughtering my parents."My Lord, are you alright?" Lily, my occasional companion, asked. Her voice was laced with concern, but I wasn't interested.I grasped her wrist, my grip tight. "Out. Get out now."Lily's eyes widened in surprise at my sudden aggression. "My Lord, if I—"I cut her off with a low growl. "Leave."Lily cowered, fear etched on her face, before hastily dressing and departing with a hasty curtsy.I crushed the cigarette beneath my heel and lit another, the flame dancing in the morning light. Lily had ruined my already sour mood.As Cedric Silver, the Rogue King, or Alpha, I answered to no one. Leader of the rogues in Elton, my rule was absolute.The morning bustle of servants and maids filled the air, their noises amplified by my werewolf hearing. The cacophony grated on my nerves.I glared at Colima, my a

Maybe this place wouldn't be so bad if the goddess had truly led me to my mate.But my optimism was short-lived.As I took a step closer, he pushed me to the floor with a harsh growl. His eyes blazed with hatred, making me tremble."Mat..." I tried to say, but a stinging slap silenced me."It's Lord to you... Lord Cedric to you, spawn of Satan!" he snarled, his voice dripping with venom.I cowered, quivering under the intensity of his gaze. The same look of contempt I'd received from everyone in the manor.The Council had dumped me here earlier than scheduled, and already, I'd faced unimaginable hostility. Some had even spat at me."Lord... Cedric, I am your mate," I stammered, speaking softly, fearful of provoking him further. I'd heard stories from my father about the rogue pack's brutality.Cedric's glare

    CEDRIC’S POV I sat on my bed, legs crossed, and glared at Ava, my fiancée. As the Council leader's daughter, our relationship was strictly business. "Why did you come to my manor unannounced?" I scolded, annoyance etched on my face. Gray's daughter, who had collapsed, was already on her way to the infirmary. Ava tilted her head back, incredulous. "We're getting married in the next full moon, and you're still cold to me?" I remained unmoved. "Ava, I'm not obligated to care for your feelings. Now, answer me: why are you here unannounced?" Ava rolled her eyes and poured herself a cup of tea. "My father told me about that...woman serving in the manor. I came to see for myself." I dismissed her with a wave of my hand. "Now that you've confirmed it, you can leave. I have a funeral to plan." Ava opened her mouth to pro

    EMMELINE POV I slowly opened my eyes, wincing in pain as the world around me came into focus. I was lying on the forest floor, my body throbbing with agony. Memories of how I got there were hazy and unclear. The black wolf, Lord Cedric, stood before me, his intense stare piercing. His scent revealed he was my mate. Fearful of exacerbating my injuries, I remained still.After several minutes of staring, Lord Cedric let out a warning growl. He huffed and turned to leave. I attempted to call him back, but my voice came out scratchy and coarse. "Help...help me..." I growled, pain searing through my body.The wolf paused, turning to glare at me. Something about his bloodshot eyes sent shivers down my spine. As I lay there, struggling to form coherent words, my energy waned. Pain intensified, and my vision blurred. I tried to focus on Cedric, but his image distorted and faded. A creeping numbness spread through my body, and I felt myself being pulled down into darkness. My eyelids grew

    EMMELINE POV The warm sunlight streaming through the window illuminated my face, and the sweet melody of birds chirping in the trees outside gently roused me from my slumber. I lay still for a moment, disoriented, before realizing I was still in bed, clad in the same attire I had worn the previous night. A flush of embarrassment spread across my cheeks as memories of the master's calloused hands on my bare skin flooded my mind.I shook my head vigorously, attempting to dispel the unwanted, sultry thoughts that clouded my mind. Gratitude washed over me as I realized I had awoken without the master's presence in my room. I wasn't sure how I would have handled the embarrassment of facing him after the events of the previous night.A soft knock at the door broke the silence, drawing me out of my reverie. I glanced towards the door, noticing that it wasn't locked. "Come in," I called out, my voice slightly husky from sleep.Elara entered with a bright smile, carrying a basin filled with

I dismissed him with a wave as I left my room and walked to the waiting carriage outside.We were headed to Dowin to meet with Alpha Venus, the city's duke, who shared my hatred for the Council. I aimed to secure his alliance with my pack. If Lord Carlos decided to remove my pack from the treaty, I would need at least one alliance with a werewolf pack.The carriage was warm, thanks to the lamp inside, as winter had already set in in Dowin. I had chosen a plain carriage to avoid drawing attention to myself and blend in as a commoner.Marci and I climbed in, and the coachman urged the horses forward. My aunt would oversee the manor as my second-in-command until my return. Hours passed, and we remained on the road, but I could sense our proximity to Dowin due to the increasing cold."Any specific information I would need to know about Alpha Venus that will help us?" I asked Marci, seeki

    EMMELINE POV For days, I had been packing the new belongings I'd received as Lord Cedric's concubine into his chambers, just as he had instructed me. The servants all gave me disapproving stares, but none dared confront me, fearing that Lord Cedric would behead them if they crossed me. As Elara and I finished packing, we sat on the bed, panting heavily. "This is the last of it," Elara told me. I used the back of my hand to wipe the sweat off my forehead. Elara turned to me with a curious glint in her eyes. "Everybody is saying that you have seduced Lord Cedric." I frowned, skeptical. "How could someone like me seduce Lord Cedric? He has seen so many women." Elara scoffed, "You're a fair lady, though due to circumstances, you had to serve as a maid in the manor. Your skin is soft as silk." I laughed at her words, but there was no denying the truth in them. Without bragging, I knew I stood out from the other servants in the manor - not just because of my physical appearance, but als

    CEDRIC POV As I pulled away from the kiss, Emmeline's pupils dilated, her eyes locking onto mine with a desperation that bordered on madness. I yanked her closer, my fingers digging into her waist as our lips clashed in a frenzy of teeth and tongues. The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, suspended in a sea of desire."Call me master," I whispered, my breath hot against her ear. The words sent a shiver coursing through her body, and she arched into me, her moans growing louder.I licked the column of her neck, my teeth grazing the tender skin. The urge to mark her, to claim her as my own, was overwhelming, but I restrained myself, barely. "Say it," I growled, my fingers tangling in her hair as I pulled her head back.Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes as she parted her lips, the scent of arousal wafting up to tease me. "Mas...ter..." The word was barely audible, but it was enough.I smirked, my hands slipping into her garment as she blushed a deep crimson

    EMMELINE POV I sat in my bunk bed, my mind reeling as Lord Cedric's words echoed in my head: "Become my concubine." It was a command, not a request. Before I could respond, the pack delta, Marci, burst into the room, citing an emergency. Lord Cedric dismissed me, saying he'd request my presence later. As I sat there, lost in thought, Elara entered the room. "What's bothering you? You've been sighing," she asked, eyeing me with concern. I forced a smile and shrugged. "It's nothing." Elara looked skeptical but didn't press the issue. She climbed up to her bunk bed, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I ran my fingers through my tangled curly blond hair, feeling a bit frazzled. The silence between us was palpable until Elara spoke up. "We're getting another roommate tomorrow." Since Bertha and Bethany were beheaded, their beds have been vacant and I expected people to replace them. But not this soon though. Elara leaned down so that she could face me, “aren't you curious to k
