In the land of Blue Stone, the snowflakes descend from above. The air is quiet, and a peaceful calm covers the land. Each snowflake pirouettes gracefully before settling on the ground, transforming the world into a pristine white canvas. The trees, adorned with a glistening layer of snow, stand in quiet reverence. The muffled sound of footsteps and the occasional laughter of children playing in the snow create a harmonious melody, punctuating the tranquil winter scene. People selling in the market, hurry to find shelter, fearing that the heavy snow might damage their goods. Amidst the chaos in the market, deep in the forest, a silhouette was seen moving briskly among the trees. The tall trees couldn't shield him from the heavy snowflakes; his hands trembled, and the cloak he wore couldn't protect him from the harsh weather. He continued to walk in the woods and felt relief when he noticed the tower ahead. However, he still needed to walk more before reaching his destination. He glance
Selene sat down in her room, pacing around. She stares at her reflection in the room. She was in pain because of what Rayne said today, and she wished in her mind that it wasn't true. “I hate you,” she muttered under her breath. Her eyes are becoming teary, but she is not going to cry, not now. “Not again, Selene." "It's time for you to wake up from your fantasy dream," she said, but she wasn't sure if she would have confidence in doing that. To wake up from her deep slumber. “I will make him want me,” she said aloud to herself as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She had always received praise from her mother and father in the past, and she knew she was a beautiful woman many men couldn’t refuse. If not for her weak state, she might not be here right now. ___ “Papa, what if the mate bond wasn't involved? Would you still love Mother? Selene asked her father under the tree in front of their house. At this time, she was around eighteen years old. “I already loved your mo
Selene entered the palace like everyone else to celebrate the ball in the palace. Her mother and her two sisters were beside her. Humans and werewolves were also present. The palace walls were painted gray with a mixture of white. A statue of a wolf was positioned beside the hall entrance. When she got inside the hall filled with people, she couldn't help but admire the interior design of the hall. The ceilings were adorned with beautiful chandeliers and burning lanterns, casting a warm glow that embraced the hall, making it look more enchanting and mesmerizing. The girls giggled among themselves, and the people were busy talking with one another in the hall. Selene's sisters were approached by their mates, and they engaged in a deep talk while Selene stood in one corner of the hall with her mother. Gentle music played in the background, and everyone began to dance. The soothing music eased Selene’s heart and mind. She found herself swaying to the music alone. Almost ev
The king has found his long-awaited fated Luna!" Harold declared it aloud for everyone to hear. Jubilation filled the air as they all clapped their hands together. Almost everyone becomes curious in the hall as they await who their Luna is. "Let's rise to our feet as we welcome the King and the fated Luna of Eldoria!" The lights dimmed as everyone stood up from their seats. Selene was sitting beside her mother when Harold made the announcement. All eyes were fixed on the entrance as two figures emerged from the wide-opened door of the hall. Petals of flowers were scattered on the floor as they walked inside the hall. Selene was happy, as everyone in the kingdom knew the Alpha King had been deprived of a mate since he ascended the throne. Every lady was awed at the beauty of the king. He is undoubtedly handsome in the blue coat that trailed down his body. The people smiled as the background flute began to play. The two couples walked up the podium, and the bright glow
“You will be breeder as from today. You will be confined within the walls of the palace." Rayne declared “What?" Selene asked, and her eyes doubled as she asked this question. This time, she didn't stutter and she praised herself for this. “What do you mean by breeder? I'm just a young woman living through hard days and struggling. One moment you said I'm your fated mate, and now you say I will be a breeder?" “I thought you weren't listening before, Selene," Rayne said, her name rolling off his tongue like a symphony. “You are my destined mate, but why do you think I would declare in front of everyone that you are my mate? You are weak and powerless. Which kingdom wants a weak Omega as their Luna?" Selene's eyes stung at Rayne's comment and her heart tore into pieces. She wished he could stop and just tell her he was only joking, but why would the feared Alpha King joke about something like this? Receiving no reply from her, Rayne continued. “I only want to take you
Selene opened her eyes and looked at the bathtub, but she couldn't find the King. She didn't have time to look at the beautiful room and the gemstones on the wall. She dashed towards the door in a speed of light. Selene tried to unlock the door, but she couldn't, despite pulling the handle with every ounce of strength in her. Suddenly, the doorknob and the door were pushed open. Selene moved back to at least hide from the person but the figure had already come in. Selene saw Lady Isabella walk in, clad in a short night dress that accentuated her figure. Selene could see the tips of her breasts poking out of the cloth, and she smelled of roses. Selene bowed her head as the woman gave her a dirty look. “Are you one of the sluts that the King beds? Where is the king?" Isabella asked the strange woman in the beautiful clothes. Isabella could see the girl was not a maid because she wore a fancy dress. “I'm not a slut, my queen," Selene interjected with gritted teeth, as she couldn'
Selene woke up to the sound of the bell that went around the palace wall. She yawned softly and wondered how she managed to sleep after crying so much last night. The room was still neatly arranged, with some of the candles already burned out. Selene sits upright on the bed and wonders what kind of state her mother will be in. She knew no one cared about her, but her mother was different. She rose from the bed and attempted to at least attempt to make her first escape in the palace to know how far he could go when the door suddenly opened. The devil comes in and closes the door behind him. “You are awake. How was your night?" Rayne asked as he leisurely walked around the room as if he owned it, but still, he owned everything. “I came to your room last night, but you were sleeping soundly when I came in. It's hard to believe that a weak human like you could snore loud," Rayne explained further after receiving no reply to the first question he asked. Selene didn't want to think abo
“Where are you taking me?" Selene asked as they began to walk down the corridor. “To have breakfast," Rayne replied curtly, and he took another turn. He opened the door, and the smell of the aroma of food assaulted Selene's nostrils. Her mouth watered when she saw the meals served on the table by the maids, but she wasn't alone with the Alpha king. In the spacious dining room, there were six chairs, with a long table separating the chairs. Four people were already occupying the chair, with two chairs left vacant. Selene saw the Queen, Isabella sitting, and some other people whom Selene couldn't remember except Harold, whom she remembered to have seen that night at the party. The beta was in the room. Selene followed Rayne to the table before sitting on the empty chair beside a woman sitting close to Isabella. Queen Isabella was the first person to break the silence as he touched Rayne's hands before saying, “I have searched the palace for you but couldn't find you." “Well,
