The officials in the presence didn't appreciate her arrival. Her identity as a human always became a debate in their mind. Even they expected Lucien to drive her away. Unexpectedly, Lucien only smiled warmly at her concern. He loved to see her features whenever she was worried for him.Lucien gestured with his hands to come at him. Isabella stepped forward gently. Unexpectedly, Lucien dismissed all of them, finally getting relaxed by her presence," You all can go now! I will settle down this matter today!"The officer all grunted internally before leaving with a poker face. They all thought that Isabella was putting an act only to show her importance. As soon as they were gone, Isabella turned her head away to ask him again with a pout," You didn't answer me! What's going on?"Lucien replied with a heavy sigh, playing with her curls," A wolf is killing people in the mortal world. Our race would be questioned if It didn't stop. However, our tropes aren't able to find the creature!"
Isabella furrowed her brows together, tried to get through his words but Draco appeared like having an inner battle in spouting the last part of his words. Then his lips parted once again with a frustrated sigh," The council house won't approve you. Therefore he can't even be a ..."" I never knew that my cousin has so much free time at this hour.", Lucien's voice rang from their back, starling both of them from back. Isabella whipped her head back to see Lucien walking over to them.His one hand fisted inside his pocket, he was speaking with a mysterious smile. Draco hung his head low after his arrival and no longer continued his speaking." Your Majesty! ", Draco greeted before tilting his head up to glance at Lucien. His gaze were calm and composed which made it hard to detect what was going on inside his mind.Realizing the silent glare from Lucien, Draco cleared his throat awkwardly before saying," I was just chatting with Isabella. She is new here and is feeling bored. Nothing
Hedy clicked out her tongue hardly. She badly wished that she could keep her words buried but the crime had been committed already. Isabella's track slightly halted before touching the ground.She whipped her head aside. Brows tightening together,she blurted out shockingly," What??? What..did you just say?"She heard crystal clear but a part of her wished that she heard it wrong. It was already bad enough for her to marry a creature like werewolf. Now, hearing out from Hedy that how ill reputated person Lucien was only reminding her that how screwed up she was here.Hedy pressed her lips together silently. Isabella held her gaze on Hedy, wished to know more about the man that she married but an yelling tone echoed out from the indoor area of Castle," Hedy... Your pup is missing..Come to find her.."Hedy's eyes widened apart slightly. Panicking, she apologised to Isabella before scurrying away," Hold on a second, My Lady. I think that my daughter has run out from the castle again."
Isabella was stupified for a few moments. Lucien was so close to her face that one single movement,their lips would crash against each others.Was he being serious here? Would he really tell her everything if she kissed him?Isabella's brows drew together tightly. Taking a glimpse of his alcohol, she exhaled a soft sigh and muttered frowning at his demanding face," You are drunk, Lucien. You shouldn't speak like that."God knows how many glass that he had devoured so far! Lucien was frustrated ever since they had their meeting with those Alphas. They reminded him of his painful memories that haunted him even in sleep. He was depressed and didn't even bother to count how many glasses he had devoured so far.As the time passed away, its aftermath effect had began terrible slowly. Isabella figured it out fast. As a proud man like Lucien, he would never ask a kiss from her like this. Besides why would he tell that? He had someone else in his heart, isn't it?Lucien mumbled,his conscious
Quinton had the best evening sight that one could ever see in her life time. That's how Isabella felt witnessing her first sunset here in Quinton. Her memories drifted away to the moment when she pushed Lucien away from her. It was not like she didn't like being cuddled by her hot smoky husband. A part of her heart feared that if they shared more moment, she would fall into this relationship deeper. Prevention is better than cure. But she noticed something during that moment. Once she refused his touch, a look of hurt flashed across his heated eyes.Why did he look so pained? Did he expect something else from her?Isabella's thoughts snapped when she heard Hedy's ringing voice behind her. Turning around, she found her holding her purple short gown for the evening. Hedy gestured with a smile," My Lady, it's ready."Isabella looked at her reflection into the mirror unblinkingly. She appeared more civilized today in comparison. Her exaggerating V lined dress was fitting against her slim
Everyone focused their attention on the doorway once the voice reverberated throughout the hallway. Isabella was the first one to whip her head back surprisingly. She wondered who was so generous to speak for her in the werewolves realm.Her eyes were a little surprised to find a beauty in the skyblue gown. Her posture was elegant. With her hairs tied into a bun behind her head, her collarbone was much more highlighted which increased her beauty two times higher. She was smiling at the crowd but her sharp words cut like dagger into Ikaya's heart whose expression paled after spotting the woman on the doorway.Lucien called out a name shockingly," Elena!!"Elena Xander Mitchell, the first cousin of Lucien had come to visit the castle after a decade of her husband's demise. After Lucien having a human mate news had spreaded throughout the kingdom, Elena found it necessary to make an appearance. After all, she knew what could possibly be going on in the castle. She was so busy in handlin
Half an hour, they spent in awkward silence. Lucien's anger kept rising up and she appeared like some hungry, angry beast who would pounce at you anytime soon. Such a feeling was suffocating But Isabella was being patient with him. She assumed that he needed moments like this to control his emotions or feelings.During this short time, her hands streched out countless times to grab his hands but she just couldn't do it. There was an invisible wall between them which made her feeling like she shouldn't do certain things with him. Taking another close attention of his pale face, Isabella couldn't just stay normal anymore.Isabella streched out her hand to place it on his shoulders. Lucien's body relaxed under her touch. Like water in the fire, his muscles relaxed and she could tell that his breathing was getting normal.Lucien finally parted his lips to speak. Turning his head aside, he looked into her astounded eyes before saying," The calligraphy explains a scene that happened in the

" You are hurt! Why aren't you healing yet?" Oksana remarked as she looked down at my fresh wounds. I had noticed as well that my wounds weren't getting any better. But the wounds in my heart were much bigger than this. Words of that old woman still haunted my heart.Was I not the legitimate king?I was grateful that Oksana still paid attention to me. The rest of the pack was busy taking care of the members who had been hurt. Vittoria replied, looking between me and Oksana," He..he is hurt by any person with magic. Magical wounds don't heal so fast, Luna."Oksana's face crumpled in concern. She muttered, appearing uneasy," All...all of them??"I hummed, touching the bandage in my hand," Yes! We couldn't stop the impact. Just one spell shook us all."Oksana looked worried, her eyes melting in fear. Vittoria suggested, gaining Oksana's attention," We should..check others as well, Luna. Some of the werewolves didn't have any family."Oksana nodded in return and left me alone in the
walked straight to the border of the south. The attackers were supposed to be here. If it was one of our allies, we could join together. But if it was our enemy, we had to go through a second battle.My steps froze before reaching the border. I spotted the black familiar clothed people, that strong familiar scent. I didn't need to check who they were. My expression turned stormy as I walked to them furiously, meeting my people in the front." Boss!!"Remo stuttered, appearing uneasy. He looked like he wanted to say something but I cut him off with a growl," YOU ARE HERE!! BY WHOSE ORDER? MY FATHER?? YOU ARE STANDING IN MY WAY, REMO AND I WON'T CONSIDER ANY MERCY."Remo apologized, his face sinking," Pardon me, Boss, but..we are indebted to the king. It's his order to attack the Dark Moon Pack."I growled, stomped forward," I TOLD HIM!! All I wanted was to win Alpha Kendrick's trust. Since he is stubborn about his decision, I will need to fight you here. I CAN'T BE DEFEATED HERE! "
" We are here, Alpha. What's the way that you want to use to break into their land? I suggested the best part! "Although the plan was ready, Alpha Kendrick had the final say. He snatched the map from my hand and replied coldly," The north and south border is open. Why should we take the West? They have guards over there."I reasoned, remembering the background of the dark moon pack, " They have magic on their side, Alpha. I don't think that we should go through the West. What if it's a trap? That's why I suggested the West."Alpha Kendrick growled at me, his behavior with me getting colder these days," Nonsense! To cast magic, someone should be present there. If there is no one at the border, who would cast a spell on us? We are heading through the north and that's the final."I wanted to say something more but I saw him, already moving with the troops. I understood the fact that Alpha Kendrick was doubting my judgment. I stopped explaining myself and followed him closely. All I w
Trust?? Once it was gone, it could never be back.I told myself several times that everything was going to be alright. But after everything was falling apart in front of my eyes, I realized how wrong I was. Oksana kept her distance from me. After days, she didn't meet me. Even though the final preparation for our attack on the Dark Moon Pack was here, she didn't come to wish me. We were all in the yards, waiting for Alpha Kendrick to come out and join us for the mission. It was surprising that my father didn't push me anymore. I thought that he would be insisting on winning the Dark Moon Pack. At least, he didn't tell me yet and I expected nothing from him." Beta! We are all ready!", the young warrior, Ethan told me after checking on his group. They were too young to join the mission but to be honest, they were the strongest group that I had ever trained. Ethan's group was loyal to me more than their Alphas. I had trained them like my own babies and taught them everything. I believe
" What are you.. Dimitri..." Oksana pushed me away, standing up in a shot without putting her clothes back. I still didn't realize my mistake until the long canines poked my lips. I snapped it off before standing up as well. My lycan was getting out of control. I didn't fully transfer myself to Lycan form for a long while. My lycan side was thrashing to come outside. We were especially obsessed with our mates. Hence it wanted to claim Oksana badly.Oksana stood with a panicked expression. The distrust in her eyes was killing me. I cursed myself under my breath. I should have paid more attention to myself. Oksana spoke again, putting back her clothes," I want to know!!"I muttered, staring at her numbly," What??"She blurted through her gritted teeth, frustration flaring in her eyes," The truth!! You aren't a WEREWOLF. How did you get here? Why didn't anyone stop you? Above all, how did you shift yourself into an average wolf? I WANT THIS ANSWER, DIMITRI."A sharp feeling stabbed i
I wanted to know what Kendrick was going to do with Vittoria's arrival. Dimitri had already explained everything. After Vittoria showed up in front of Kendrick, he didn't look good. Kendrick was seated in his seat as we arrived together. Kendrick asked curiously, eyeing Vittoria from head to toe," Is it true that you can see the future? If you are that powerful, why did your pack kick you out?"Vittoria's shoulders stiffened when Kendrick mentioned her pack. I guessed that she wasn't comfortable sharing her relationship with the pack. One of the main reasons was that she didn't trust us yet or it was her dark spot. Vittoria replied firmly, her eyes dropping down,"I decided to leave the pack, Alpha. I was assaulted by the Alpha. I had to leave to save my life."I felt sorry for her. Raemon was already clinging to her. They said that children were another form of god. They could tell who loved them genuinely. I felt as though Raemon had already started to like Vittoria. We never had
" Who is she? She smells different!" I stopped exercising in my new office. There wasn't anything special about my office. It was only a small desk with an old shelf next to the desk. Since I had stopped going to the training center, I was focusing on learning all by myself. Even Dimitri couldn't help me here since our close contact could raise questions in Kendrick's mind.Dimitri entered with an unknown girl with him. She looked pale and dirty. Dust was all over her face and an oversized shirt was barely covering her body. Dimitri replied, taking a look at the girl," Vittoria! A rogue! She wants shelter in our pack for a few days. I thought, You could help her."I shot a glare at Dimitri. We had enough internal troubles already. Bringing another rogue would cause controversies. I scolded him in front of the girl, leaving the equipment aside," Are you crazy? You didn't take Kendrick's permission yet. She can't stay here."Dimitri suddenly blurted, stunning me with the information,
SHIFT!!" " I SAID, SHIFT !! "I growled at the wolf who had been caught by the patrol guards. It was rare to see any wolf trespassing our territory. The other pack had only one or two defensive teams to guard the territory. But we had four which were double than regular packs. Alpha Kendrick was paranoid about sudden attacks in his pack. Ever since his family was killed by a group of rogues, he strengthened the defensive system. Everyone in the land knew how strong our border guards were. So, they avoided any trespassing on our mainland. Jade growled, glaring down at the wolf fiercely," She is stubborn! Why don't we just throw them in the dungeon??"I shook my head, refusing his idea," No, Jade! We can't.. We can't put someone in the dungeon without knowing her crime. We have to know why she trespassed on our land. "I shifted my eyes at the wolf again, asking with a growl," I SAID SHIFT OR I WILL HAVE TO FORCE YOU!"The wolf was stubborn. It was a brown wolf with white marks on
I stayed silent at his words. I knew that the possibility was zero since Dimitri was my chosen mate. Having different mates was common among werewolves. But being a Luna, it was different. The scenario would have been different if Dimitri was my fated mate. Now that, it happened all of a sudden, everyone would think that we marked each other on purpose. Dimitri waited for my answer I replied with a sigh," I don't care, Dimitri but we have to wait until Raemon's future is secured."Dimitri asked again, stepping closer," What about Kendrick? Will you leave him?"I felt the pain in my heart. As a werewolf, it wasn't easy to end a mate bond. But I had decided on it already. When there was no trust and love for each other, there was no point in keeping the bond. I replied with a long sigh, locking my eyes with Dimitri," I will as long as you are faithful to me and don't betray me, Dimitri. I don't care about the acceptance of the pack but I wish for their goodwill. After all, they are
