Edward:

As soon as I woke up the next morning, I headed straight for the Palace. My Beta, Harvey, had called the council elders together as there was an important meeting to be held.

Lianna was still fast asleep and didn't even move an inch as I walked around that morning. It made me wonder how much she must have given up sleep to cater to my brother.

I slowly started to loathe him. Lianna was the gentlest soul I ever knew. She was always smiling t everyone and trying to make everyone feel better. So why the fuck did he do all that to her?

And they were mates?

It was beyond me how he could do such to her. Fucking beyond me how the little brother I had thought to respect people turned into a monster.

Fuck him.

I climbed into my car and zoomed off towards the Palace.

I arrived in less than ten minutes and handed my keys to one of the guards hanging around.

"The elders are waiting," Harvey said as soon as I got to the entrance of the Palace. He fell into step w

    Edward: "Brother!" Ethan called after me, the sound of his boots thudding against the grounds. "Wait and listen to me for crying out loud!" "Take care of things," I said to Harvey. "Make sure no one gets hurt." He nodded and stepped out of the Palace. Slowing down, I turned to Ethan who had just stopped running and was breathing heavily. I was almost disgusted at the sight of him. He had grown plump over the years which was a rare occurrence for our kind, as we had an amazing metabolism that made it hard for us to store excess fat. For him to have gotten this big, that meant he was probably engaging in awful and disgusting acts of gluttony. "What is it?" I asked, folding one arm over the other. "Why did you just walk in here to disrupt everything?!" He cried. "Things have been going really well, only for you to come here and poison the mind of my elders!" "Poison the mind of 'your' elders?" I burst into laughter. "Oh, c'mon. Don't even say that. I saw the way you

    Ethan: I paced from one end of the room to the other. I was fucking angry. Fucking livid! Just when I thought things were going right, my brother had to return. Fuck him. Fuck him for ruining things for me. I grabbed the decanter of alcohol I had been drinking and crashed it into the wall. Its content spilled to the ground and I leaned back, breathing heavily. "Fuck!" I screamed. "Fuck this!" The door was pushed open and a maid timidly walked in. I immediately glared at her. "What the fuck are you doing here?" "Alpha Ethan, your Luna requests your presence." At this time? What the fuck was wrong with Freya? Did she not realise what was going on or did she just have a fucking time blindness? Fuck her! "Get the hell out of my sight. Right now!" I growled. She nodded immediately and slipped out of the room. As soon as the door clicked shut, I began destroying everything in the room. I pushed the desk and turned it over, scattered all the files around and pushed the

    Lianna: When I woke up, the house empty. I stepped out of my room and found a note plastered against the fridge. It was a note from Edward telling me he was going to be out for a few hours and that there was breakfast for me in the microwave. I smiled, my fingers grazing over his beautiful cursive handwriting. I remembered this handwriting from a long time ago. I used to love staring at him write at the time and whenever he caught me doing that, I would unabashedly tell him how much I loved doing it. But now, it felt different. He wrote like someone who had his life organised and I fucking loved it. While I had breakfast, I took my time to look around. Of course, this was a suite, but it looked like it was a living space, tailored to fit someone with a specific taste. The meal was also nice. I had oatmeal and cinnamon flavoured pancakes for breakfast and by the time I was done, I was already sleepy. Somehow, it made sense why I was always getting tired after doing

    Lianna: Edward's words lingered in my head for the rest of the day. He sounded so passionate about wanting me to get back and Ethan. And although, I loved it, it made me feel like that was all this marriage was for. Don't get me wrong, I knew Edward and I weren't for each other. Even the tiny sparks I felt whenever he randomly brushed his fingers against my cheek or touched me was only a response borne from years of lack of intimacy and genuine physical contact. So I knew I felt nothing for him. Whenever I stared at him walk around or awed at how much confidence and charisma he had, it was just me yearning for something that I missed over the years. And this evening, his Beta paid a short visit. I'd seen him a few times at the Palace and he had also been there to watch Ethan abuse me one of those days, so it made me really ashamed and uncomfortable. "Hello," He smiled at me as he walked into the kitchen. I forced a nervous smile back and waved at him. "Hi, ther

    Lianna: I woke up the next morning to a knock on my door. Rising to my feet more slowly than I usually did, I realised that my stay here was reducing the anxiety I had lived with for years while being married to Ethan. Padding my feet against the plush rug in the middle of the room, I pulled the door open to find a stranger standing by the door. She was a young girl, about my age, with a shock of strawberry blond hair that complemented her brown eyes. She had freckles on her face that had been lifted by her side smile. "Hi!" She waved at me. "Hi?" I greeted back. "Uhm, is there a reason why you're here?" Edward came up behind her and nodded. "Yes. She's here to dress you up and do your makeup. We will be going out in public today." My heart immediately skipped as soon as he made mention of that. "What? Outside? Why?" "Because you're the future Luna. You need to address the people." I felt like I was going to have a panic attack. There was a build-up of sweat

    Lianna: My hands trembled as we made our way out of my room. Edward was waiting outside, by his car, and he was dressed impeccably. My breath hitched when he raised his head to look at me and I saw that his hair e fell to the side of his face. His hooded gaze grazed my skin and I found myself taking a step back and almost falling into Ingrid who burst into laughter. "Don't tell me you're staring at our future Alpha King like you want to devour him in one sitting." I glared at her. "You're starting to become a nuisance." She giggled and stood behind me. Over the few hours that we were together, I slowly started to like her and now, I knew I had made a new friend. It was such a rare thing to happen in my life because girls never liked me. I was always seen a competition and I never understood why they saw me that way. It was either they called me a slut for forcing myself on Ethan which wasn't in any way true, or they decided I was just a woman who wanted him for his money.

    Lianna: While Ingrid spoke on the phone with Edward, I sat there quietly, trying not to listen to whatever they had to say. Of course, I was sad. Sad that he had left without acknowledging me or even being there for support. Once again, I felt like I was being neglected. Once again, I felt like I didn't matter and hell, it made me want to cry really badly. Well, I wasn't going to. I was going to be strong and I wasn't going to let my past experience with Ethan dictate my emotions. We finally arrived at the hotel. I said my goodbyes to Ingrid and went into the hotel. According to her, Edward was back. I trudged my way in, nervous that something I didn't like was going to happen. Was he going to yell at me for doing something wrong? Was he going to treat me his Ethan treated me, or even worse? I stopped at the door, heaved a few deep breaths before I pushed the door open and walked in. And standing there, in a dimly lit room, was Edward. He held a bunch of roses

    Edward: I remained calm, watching as Ethan paced from one end of the room to the other. I could sense his tension and I knew why. He had been too ashamed to come out yesterday, while Lianna and I addressed the crowd, probably because he didn't want to hear the people talk about both of them. But I couldn't care less. And since he was still Alpha King for the next seven days or less, I considered that and honoured his invitation when he asked me to visit him. "Why?" He stopped abruptly. "Are you doing this to spite me in any way? Because it makes no absolute sense why you would do this to me!" I cocked my head to the side, feigning confusion. "What are you talking about? What did I do to you?" He gave me a stern look, obviously upset that I was pretending not to know what he was talking about. "Are you being real right now?" I shrugged. "If you don't tell me why you're upset, there's no way I am going to know. You know that, right?" "She was here yesterday to ad

    Lianna: The rhythmic pounding of my horse’s hooves against the soft earth was the only sound filling the otherwise quiet forest. The air smelled fresh, crisp with the scent of damp leaves and wildflowers, but even nature’s beauty wasn’t enough to untangle the tight knot in my chest. I had meant to hurt Ethan, and I had. I could still see the stunned look on his face, the way his body had hung in the air, helpless against my power. I had meant every word I said to him. But now, my hands trembled slightly as I gripped the reins. Not out of regret. No, I didn’t regret defending myself. I was just… exhausted. Tired of fighting. Tired of proving my worth. Tired of people like Ethan acting like I didn’t belong, like I was nothing. I breathed in deeply, trying to focus on the soothing sounds around me—the rustling of the trees, the distant call of an owl, the steady rhythm of my horse’s breath. The waterfall wasn’t too far now. A place of solitude. A place where I could just

    Edward: The moment Ethan stormed into the room, the air shifted. The heavy scent of sex still clung to the space, and from the way his face twisted in pure revulsion, he caught onto it instantly. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” His voice dripped with disgust as his sharp gaze flickered between me and Lianna. “You’re desecrating the goddamn council chamber like a couple of feral animals?” I pinched the bridge of my nose, exhaling slowly. I had anticipated his usual self-righteous nonsense, but this? This was a new level of insufferable. I barely had time to fix my trousers before Lianna, still standing beside me, turned to face him, her posture rigid. Ethan wasn’t done. “And you,” he sneered, directing all his venom at her. “It’s no surprise you’d spread your legs anywhere, like the—” I didn’t get a chance to warn him. Didn’t get a chance to tell him he was about to dig his own grave. Because the moment the words left his mouth, the temperature in the

    Edward: The hall was a miserable place to be. A suffocating blend of polished wood, solemn faces, and discussions that made me want to bash my head against the nearest pillar. We’d been talking about fund allocations for the past hour, debating over statues, benches, and lamp placements like our lives depended on it. I barely listened. The moment Lianna stepped into the room, the droning of the elders became nothing but background noise. The heavy oak doors had barely shut behind her before my full attention snapped to her. She carried herself with that effortless grace, the kind that made men lose their senses and women secretly envious. My mate. My wife. My undoing. A slow smile spread across my lips, my fingers drumming once against the table. “You’re late, sweetheart.” She tilted her head, amusement flickering in her sharp eyes. “I wasn’t invited.” I leaned back in my chair, never breaking eye contact. “An oversight. Join me.” Lianna raised a brow, g

    Ethan: The palace had become insufferable. I couldn't even stand it and knowing how I could be in situations like this, it was best I actually just let myself out. For days, all I’d heard were whispers, giggles, and hushed voices barely containing their excitement over the King and Queen’s newfound inability to keep their hands off each other. It was nauseating. The way they spoke about them, like some perfect, celestial couple destined to be together, made my stomach churn. Every corner I turned, it was “Did you see how the Alpha King looked at her?” or “I swear I heard them last night.” The worst part? I had heard them. Once. Just once. And that had been enough. I’d been walking past Edward’s chambers when I heard Lianna’s voice—breathless, desperate, moaning his name like it was the only word she knew. I had frozen, every muscle in my body locking up as the sound echoed in my skull, seeping into my bones. That was the final straw. I couldn’t stay in the palace a

    Lianna: Kisses, soft kisses. Caresses. Nips here and there. Fingers digging into skin and running through smooth silky hair. The sounds of moans and grunts, hisses, naughty phrases and words of appraisals. Legs entwined in each other and tangled under sheets. All of these combined together to release several hormones that contributed to my orgasm. We were yet to start but I already got my first orgasm and I could feel another one coming as Lucas worked his fingers on my clit. I lay in bed, naked and vulnerable. I had no control or power over myself as I'd surrendered it all to Edward. His lips returned to my core, lapping up the wetness that had built up over the time he'd been concentrating on another part of my body. "You taste so good," He sighed. "I want to keep getting you wet and just lapping up your sweet smelling juices for the rest of today but that would tire you out and make things really boring for you." He didn't even wait for me to speak b

    Lianna: The palace halls were dimly lit with golden candlelight, flickering against the polished stone walls. My boots clicked against the marble floors as I walked beside Edward, my thoughts still lingering on the peaceful hours we had spent by the waterfall. It felt good to be back home after I had left in anger. Edward was really kind about it and I really appreciated it. For once, I felt somewhat at ease. Edward turned to me just as we reached the grand staircase leading to the royal wing. "I need to speak with Harvey. Won’t take long." I nodded, barely paying attention. "Go ahead. I'll see you at dinner." As he disappeared down the corridor, my eyes landed on a maid hurrying out of Ethan’s chambers. Her head was bowed, her steps rushed and unsteady, as if she were desperate to escape unseen. I might have ignored it had I not caught the way she sniffled, her fingers trembling as she clutched the edge of her apron. Something about the way she held herself—l

    I could barely walk but I had to. I mustered up strength from within and took us over to the bed. I was yet to come down from my new high and I needed a breather. Lianna pressed her hand against my chest. "Wait." She smiled. "You need to rest. Your eyes are droopy." "What are you talking about?" I asked. "You sound tired. You should rest a bit. You just had the best orgasm. You deserve to rest or sleep." "But I want to..." She pressed her lips into mine, automatically shutting me up. "Rowena." "Shhh," She smiled again. "I love seeing you this way. Vulnerable and all mine. It's enough to get me by tonight." "I'll be awake at midnight. You better be." "I can't sleep," She chuckled and laid her head on my chest. "I just want to watch you sleep. I miss you so much." "So do I," I brushed her soft, plump lips that looked plumper after the intense kisses we shared. "You're so beautiful, Lianna. I'm not surprised why you drive me crazy. It's not just

    Lianna: His large hands cupped my whole face as he devoured my lips. My body immediately surrendered to his touch, begging for more and more and more. His fingers dug into my skin and he pushed me against the table behind me, grabbing my thighs and slipping me into the table. A soft moan escaped my throat and he yanked me forward, breathing hard against my cheek. The tip of his nose grazed mine and like two puzzles made for each other, we tilted our heads and everything fell into place. I yearned so badly for him and I didn't realise how much I wanted him until this moment. I didn't realise how much I had missed him until now. My hand pressed against the thin fabric of his top, trying to feel his bare skin from the thin holes of the fabric. A beautiful sensation crawled up my body, driving me to a point of craziness I couldn't control. I wanted him. I yearned for him. My skin sang with delight as we continued to kiss. I didn't want this to end. I wanted

    My back hit the wall at the same time he gripped my waist. Yanking me flush against him, his lips began to glide against mine, deepening the kiss. His tongue scoured my mouth, like he was searching untouched depths and it drove me to a point of craziness even I couldn't understand. I tugged against his shirt, almost at the edge of saying 'fuck it' and doing whatever he wanted me to do. A soft moan escaped my throat. That was a driving force for Edward because he sank his fingers into my hair, holding onto my scalp. His free hand curled around my hip and he lifted me in his arms like I weighed nothing. His lips left mine for a moment and I was made to stare at his face. His eyes had gone shades darker, intense darkness lurking behind them. His lips were slightly swollen from the kisses and so were mine. But there was something about his that drove me crazy. I wanted to take over him. I wanted to dominate him, to make him feel good. I could barely recognise
