Maria's POV

“What happened? What’s going on?!”

The sudden explosion of cheers woke me from my drowsiness. I looked around in panic, and only after confirming that there was no danger did I finally relax. I grabbed Mandy, who was leaning on a broom and watching TV with great interest.

“Mandy, what’s going on? Why is it suddenly so noisy outside?”

“That’s not noise, Maria,” Mandy said, revealing an ugly smile with a mouth full of crooked teeth. “Alpha Louis just announced his heir!”

Hearing the name that hadn’t appeared in my life for so long, it took me a few seconds to finally react. “Louis? Prince Louis?! He’s become the Alpha King now?!”

“You really are a country bumpkin.” Mandy rolled her eyes dramatically at me and disdainfully pushed my arm away. “That happened last month. Haven’t you heard? Our Alpha even has an heir now.”

“Heir?”

The moment of confusion was quickly replaced by a surge of joy.

Yes, the heir—it must be my Chris! My Chris has become the heir of the kingdom. That m

    Claire's POV"Oh my goodness, this is absolutely stunning!" Olivia gasped, covering her mouth in excitement. "Claire, promise me you'll wear this dress for the proposal!"Before us was a breathtaking blue slit dress, displayed in the store window. The sun shone through the glass, creating a wave-like effect upon the dress, and thousands of Swarovski diamonds glittered like stars in the gentle sunlight. It was so beautiful that I found it hard to catch my breath."It's so dazzling," commented Helen, my wolf.Before coming to this high-end boutique, I had always imagined the dress I would wear for the proposal. In my mind, it had to be elegant, stunning, and most importantly, beautiful enough to outshine my stepmother Rachel and my stepsister Cathy.This dress was not only going to be the special one for the proposal, but also a symbol of my departure from this dreadful family. Everything was going to start afresh, and my future would be as glamorous as this dress."You have to buy it!"

    "Claire! Your sister's going to try this dress on," Olivia's anxious voice pulled me out of my reverie.I came to my senses and found Cathy directing the staff to try on the dress for her."Wait!"Facing Cathy, the staff was embarrassed. "Excuse me, Miss..." She looked at her apologetically. "This lady was here first...""So what!" Oh God, my nosy stepmother Rachel joined the chaos."Do you know who I am? My daughter is the Alpha's daughter!" Rachel c.ocked her neck as if her eyes were growing under her nostrils. "Do you have any idea what we're buying this dress for?"The staff lowered her head. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I don't understand your situation. Please don't be angry."Rachel scoffed. "You're just an Omega. Cut the crap and take that dress off!"The staff looked troubled, her eyes drifting between Cathy and me.Olivia, in a panic, shook my arm and whispered, "Claire, what are we going to do? They're really out of line!"I was just about to say something when Rachel turned to anoth

    (One hour before the party)"Dear, where are you?" I looked down at the text message I sent to Joe 15 minutes ago.He didn't reply."Claire, hurry up!"Olivia and her brother Kyle Lucchese were waiting for me. I looked down at my phone again, put it in my bag, and walked over to them.Forget it, he must be busy with something. I need to pretend that I don't know anything and show a surprised and moved expression when he takes out the diamond ring. I guess he must have hired a photographer to capture this important moment. I have to play my role well.After the car started moving, Kyle looked at me a few times in the rearview mirror. "Claire, I almost thought today was your wedding."Olivia and I exchanged a secret glance. Today is not my wedding, but it is a more important day than a wedding."But you two should be careful about what you say and do today.""This party is for young people from various packs to gather and find our mates, right?" Olivia said.Kyle gave her a white eye. "

    Cathy's POVUpon seeing Claire's shocked expression downstairs, an unprecedented feeling of satisfaction overwhelmed me. I had never felt so liberated before. After all these years, I had finally won against her. And, I was sure that I would keep stepping on her head from now on.But as I grinned, my father, who was walking ahead of me, turned back and warned me with a stern look."This is my first time visiting royalty with you, Cathy," he said with a serious expression and a menacing gaze that sent shivers down my spine. "Don't disappoint me. If you embarrass us in front of Prince Louis, I will never take you out again in my life."I was scared, speechless, and my mother kept signaling me from the side.After a few seconds, I replied with a pale face, "I understand, father."As we entered the room, I unconsciously began to recall Claire's calm and collected demeanor. I remember her smile when she interacted with the other pack members. I disgustedly realized that I was still trying

    As I witnessed Joe kneeling before my sister, my mind went blank. It felt as if someone had struck me hard on the head with a baseball bat. A deafening ringing in my ears left me dizzy, almost unable to stand.I took a step back, covering my mouth, staring at them in disbelief. I heard my sister, using her deliberately sweet voice, utter the words that were meant for me, addressed to my boyfriend— yes, my boyfriend, Joe."Of course I do, my dear," she pretended to glance at me casually, then eagerly extended her hand for Joe to slide that sparkling ring onto her finger. "I'm more than willing. In fact, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."How could this be?l I had dreamed about this proposal for a long time, and now my sister stole my lines and my happiness.!There must be some mistakes, I thought.An overwhelming sense of absurdity made me involuntarily burst into laughter. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Mrs. Smith looked at me with a mix of astonishment and concer

    I roared at Joe, consumed by anger.At this point, I finally understood Mrs. Smith's concerns were not unfounded. I had indeed paid a heavy price for my naivety, an overwhelming price."Listen to me, Claire..." Joe attempted to justify himself. He probably had never seen me in such a state before, as I had always been the gentle and composed perfect girlfriend in his presence. I coldly stared at his mouth moving, but not a single word registered in my ears.The man I had once loved now made me sick!I heard my wolf wailing and weeping within. Betrayed by the person I loved most, deceived by my own family, and discarded like a disposable child by my own biological father... Three consecutive blows left her in such agony and she felt like she was dying.Tears blurred my vision, and I realized I must look disheveled at this moment. But I no longer cared about any of that.At that very moment, my only thought was revenge.I swore to the moon goddess that I would make them feel this pain t

    "My Mate."After Prince Louis uttered those words, the entire banquet hall fell into a terrifying silence.The tall figure of the man cast a shadow over the crystal chandeliers. I looked up, gazing at his distinct jawline, my expression blank with astonishment.After a brief moment of silence, all the werewolves in the banquet hall stared at me in shock. The room erupted in a clamor from all directions. My stepmother looked at me in disbelief, her face contorted with anger.Cathy, on the other hand, jumped up from her seat and shouted at me like a madwoman, "Impossible!"Her cheeks flushed red with anger and disbelief. She pointed at me, ranting, "She's just a clown! A fraud! Prince Louis, you must be mistaken. She cannot be your mate!"As I heard her arguing with Prince Louis, my reaction was not anger but amusement.What a foolish woman—"Cathy!"Sure enough, before Prince Louis could speak, my father intervened. He turned around and slapped Cathy's cheek with force. The slap echoed

    He carried me all the way to the outside of the hall.A black Bentley was parked outside, adorned with the silver-gray royal emblem. A Beta respectfully opened the car door for us.Prince Louis carried me into the car. He held me tightly in his embrace. My head was forced to rest on his shoulder, and my cheek was pressed against the smooth and exquisite white shirt.I could hear his heartbeat clearly, like a steady and powerful drumbeat, knocking against my eardrums, merging with the sound of my own heartbeat. Remembering the gazes of the werewolves watching us as we left earlier, I could only bite my lip and bury my flushed cheeks in the man's embrace.It all happened too quickly.It was only when the car door closed, and the narrow and dim space inside the car made my nerves tense up again.I cleared my throat, straightened up, and was about to speak, but the man bent down and held my ankle, removing the remaining high-heeled shoe.The words I wanted to say instantly got stuck in my

I took the paper Kyle handed me and scanned it quickly, frowning. "Isn't this a bit too formal?"Kyle shrugged. "Well, Your Majesty, tonight is an official ceremony. After all, every werewolf will witness Claire becoming our Luna.""Alright."I nodded in agreement, folded the paper, and tucked it into my suit pocket. Then, I checked my watch. "How long until the wedding starts?""About twenty minutes. Perhaps you would like to wait outside? The media is ready."Glancing out at the castle lawn, I saw the sea of people and cameras aimed at the wedding venue. Surrounding the crowd were countless armed guards maintaining order.I withdrew my gaze and chuckled. "This might be the grandest ceremony of the year, don't you think?""Well, perhaps the grandest ceremony of the century."Kyle responded with a smile. "Shall we

Damn, my waist still looks a bit bulky."Am I the only one who thinks this dress makes me look fat?""Yes, my dear Luna."Olivia, who had already helped me change into the third wedding dress, rolled her eyes at me. "You look absolutely stunning, Claire. You're just experiencing a common condition called pre-wedding anxiety."As she spoke, Olivia lifted the large train of my dress to prevent Kitty from stepping on it."Don't believe me? Ask Kitty! Kitty, do you think Claire looks beautiful?"Caught off guard, Kitty turned around, holding a flower basket slung over her shoulder. It was empty of petals, but she already looked as cute as a doll.Oh, how I wished my first child would be a girl as adorable as her! I silently prayed to the Moon Goddess.But the sweet Kitty couldn't hear my thoughts. She tilted her head and carefully examined

    Louis's POV"This will likely be our last meeting, Prince Louis."In a small tavern near the Southern Forest, Garfield Evans, clad in black and wearing a hood, sat across from me. The arrogance and ambition once evident in his demeanor were replaced with a bitter smile and an unhidden hatred towards his enemies."I suppose so," I replied, ignoring Garfield's raised glass and instead downing my drink in one gulp. "After all, the Southern Forest is a terrifying place. Even my brother met his end there.""Well, dying in the same place as Liam would be a kind of luck," Garfield responded with a resigned smile, but I could see the sincerity mixed with sorrow in his moist eyes."Don't forget, this time you'll face not only the horrors of the Southern Forest but also the secret organization hiding within it, which opposes the royal family. They are your real enemies.""I'll never forget that, Your Highness. Rest assured, I will avenge Liam before I breathe my last!"The rekindled murderous i

    Claire's POV“So… you really plan to exile Evans?” I asked cautiously after listening to Louis recount the events in the dungeon the previous night. “What about the Black Mountain pack? They’re already stirring, trying to overthrow the royal family. Won’t this only fuel their ambitions?”“On the contrary. I plan to convene the Council of Elders and hold a public trial for Garfield Evans. Once his crimes are exposed to all the werewolves, everyone will understand why I imprisoned him. By then, the Black Mountain pack will have no justification for opposing the royal family.”Louis calmly analyzed the situation while peeling a grape and placing it in my mouth. I nodded thoughtfully, but then immediately spat it out, wrinkling my nose.Louis looked at me in concern, “What’s wrong?”“The grape tastes bad,” I said, my mouth puckering from the sourness.“Really?” Louis glanced at the grapes on the table and immediately summoned Alfred.“Your Highness.”“Claire says the grapes are bad.”“Bad

    Garfield's POV“Say it again—what did you do to him?!” I tightened my grip on Maria’s throat, feeling an overwhelming urge to snap it right there and then.“Tell me, Maria, what else did you do to him?!!”“Let go of me! Garfield!”Maria's face had turned purple, her flailing legs now dancing on the edge of the abyss. Even this couldn’t quench the burning hatred I felt for this woman.Blood debts must be paid in blood!Anger surged within me. Just as I resolved to end her wretched life, a figure crashed into me. My injured leg gave out, and I fell into a puddle, releasing my hold on Maria."Seize them all!"Prince Louis’s commanding voice echoed in the dank, hollow dungeon. Within moments, torches illuminated the damp darkness. A squad of armed guards swarmed the small cell, capturing Maria, Rick, and me, dragging us before Louis.“Prince Louis, Evans... Evans tried to kill me!”Louis’s appearance was Maria’s salvation. She cried out, reaching for Louis’s robe, but he recoiled in disgu

    Garfield's POV"Alpha!"Just as I was coaxing Kitty to finish her broccoli, a figure once again climbed through the window."Rick?" I narrowed my eyes at my beta, my tone growing stern. "I don't recall ordering you to enter the castle again.""I'm very sorry, Alpha."Rick's expression was serious under my rebuke. "I followed your instructions that night, intending to take Chris from Maria's villa. But I discovered something important that I felt I had to report to you immediately."I scrutinized Rick. Though he wasn’t particularly sharp, he had always been loyal. If he claimed to have made a significant discovery, then…I set down the bowl in my hand and said, "Go ahead. What did you find out?""Last night, Chris suddenly fell ill and was rushed to the hospital.""What?!" My voice involuntarily showed my anxiety. "How is he now? Is he alright?!""No. In fact, I overheard the doctor and Maria talking. The doctor said Chris's illness is congenital and very difficult to cure—unless Maria

    Maria's POVThings were progressing smoothly.I walked quickly through the castle’s corridors, followed by three or four guards. They were accompanying me to retrieve Prince Liam’s portraits and belongings on Louis’s orders. However, these items were useless in saving my son’s life. The only person who could save Chris now was someone else entirely.“Ouch!” I exclaimed in pain, clutching my stomach and suddenly squatting down.“What happened?!”“I... my stomach hurts.” I faced the approaching guards, looking distressed and speaking weakly, “I’ve been too stressed about Chris’s illness, and my stomach problems have flared up again.”“What should we do?!” One of the guards scratched his head, looking worried. “Should I notify Prince Louis…”“No, there’s no time to waste!” I bit my lip, feigning great pain, and interrupted the guard’s suggestion. “The most important thing now is to get Prince Liam’s portraits and belongings! If Chris wakes up, he will surely want to see his father first…

    Claire's POV“What? Chris is in the hospital?! What happened?!”“Calm down, my dear.”Louis gently pushed me back onto the couch, but his brows remained furrowed. He turned to the guard who brought the news and asked, “Could this be another one of Maria’s schemes? Is she trying to gain sympathy using Chris?”“No.” The guard lowered his head and relayed the information he received from the doctor about Chris’s condition.“Moreover, I inquired with the emergency team that responded that night. They all confirmed that Chris nearly suffocated to death.”The words “nearly suffocated” left Louis in silence, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of worry for the innocent boy. No matter what Maria had done, Chris was just a child. Besides, he was Liam’s only son.Thinking this, I turned to the guard and asked, “Which hospital is Chris in now?”“Saint Richard’s Hospital, but Chris is still unconscious. The doctors have recommended no visitors.”It seemed Chris was gravely ill this time. Both Lo
