Chapter 64 - A Dead Giveaway

Pretending that everything was fine–like I didn’t have an orgasm in front of all these people–I controlled my panting state and looked up. The man who had unknowingly interrupted us stood a couple of feet away, his innocent eyes lit towards me.
Aero was seething, I could tell from the tight fist he made under the table, but he also was in control, making a considerate expression when he realized who it was.
“Your Majesty,” General Halcynos lowered his head and placed a hand on his chest. “May I request one dance with Queen Serena? It would be an honor for this poor, old man.”
I awarded him a smile, one that was agreeable to his request. The man was asking properly, but of course, the last decision would come from Aero, so I turned to him and waited for his answer.
His face didn’t show any anger. It was masked well with his neutral expression. Then, suddenly, a

< Serena > “Lord Hale!” I gasped, so sure of myself despite not seeing his face. He chuckled underneath the mask first before taking it off and dropping it to the floor. “You’re very perceptive, my queen.” He reached out trying to take my mask too. Quickly, I moved back, disengaging myself from his hold. “As far as I remember, you’re not invited in this party,” I stated whilst giving him a frown. He just tipped his head ever so slightly to the side in response. “Have I ever cared for such insignificant invitations?” he said. He stepped forward, I stepped back. Deep inside me, my heart was hammering a beat of fear. I tried to keep my face neutral and my spine straight. If anything, I didn’t want him to see me cowering, but still flashes of pictures of him soon biting
THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM Chapter 66 - Staking His Claim
< Aero >I had no reason to see General Halcynos as someone I would get jealous of, so of course, I allowed Serena to dance with him. Honestly, out of all the men in this hall, he would be the only person I’d prefer Serena to dance with, but as far as trust goes, Elijah would be in the top rank, Halcynos would be second, and third would be my Beta and Alphas.I watched when they danced in the center of the dance floor, but soon, my attention was diverted to my brother who decided to approach me. He stood on my left, holding a wine flute that was already half empty.“You’re too stiff. Loosen up, brother. You’re the one who decided to throw a ball, so you should enjoy it,” he said before drinking the remaining contents of his flute.I remained silent, but took his advice into consideration. I admit I was feeling uneasy. Just seeing Serena surrounded by so many faces, so many males...it just

< Aero >I would have preferred to bring her in my chamber to finish what I started, but like Elijah said, we were needed in the party.Serena was quick enough to compose herself once she realized we were back in the stage. Spotlights immediately found us, giving us no room to talk. She just gave me a meaningful glance just as the voice-over explained the steps of the ritual. I decided to control my unstable self; promising to question her for later.Yes, blessing the snow moon was part of Phanteon tradition. The Alpha King and his Luna was expected to do the ritual; raising a plate of wheat in the air against the moon’s light together with a chalice of water and the first pup of the year’s cloth wrapping.The whole time, I guided Serena through the process since she was still learning our traditions. In the end, she looked effortless, not rousing any suspicion at all from all who watched
THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM Chapter 68 - A Time for Reckoning
< Aero >"Brother!" Elijah's voice boomed across the receiving room the moment I heard the main door swung open. I already knew he'd be visiting me this early morning after my show of possessiveness last night. He was either happy that I got hitched for real or angry that I didn't tell him sooner. I was curious to know which reaction he'd show.Finishing up the buttons of my coat, I stepped outside my bedroom and faced him."Hey, what I saw last night, that was real right?" he asked in a hurry, his face completely curious.My mouth curved into a small smile."Keep your voice down, Serena is still asleep," I replied.Slowly, he stretched his head and looked past me to the double doors I had intentionally left open."Ha! I knew it!" he exclaimed in a joyful tone. "I knew you're going to surrender."Then, he gave me a smirk,
THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM Chapter 69 - The Queen's Heart
< Serena >Hurt wasn’t an enough word to describe what I felt while looking at the betrayal before me. Pain of any physical kind couldn’t even match up to the anguish I felt deep inside.What I felt was pain caused more than slicing me open with a blade, more than pouring acid on my insides, more than chopping me into pieces, more than bleeding me dry...My bright world had completely turned dark and gloomy and for a brief moment, I thought I had died.Actually, dying was preferable than witnessing this highest form of treachery. What was worse was I was present to witness it all. Inch by inch of their nakedness. Inch by inch of their lewd connection.They were so engrossed that none of them appeared to notice me. Rhea kept on moaning loudly, enjoying every bit of Aero’s embedded cock, while the latter was in his own world of pleasure, grunting and groaning. The tautness
THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM Chapter 70 - The Marking
(Earlier this morning...)< Aero >Elijah continued to walk beside me when I entered the throne room. Two guards immediately lowered their heads. With a flick of Elijah’s hand, they left. I found this unusual. He usually wasn’t sensitive to extra eyes on us.“I’m happy to see you finally found your true mate, brother,” he stated, stopping at the base of the stairs while I continued to climb up.“Same goes to you,” I stated over my shoulder, hinting his relationship with Serena’s friend.“Well, ye...ah, about that,” he replied hesitantly. I picked up an uneasiness from him that instant.“You have a request,” I said, more of a statement than a question when I sat down my throne.Elijah wasn’t the type to ask a request from me. He only does it when needed, and I sensed this was exactly that time.“I’m planning to propose to Rhea, brother, and I n
THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM Chapter 71 - Pieces of the Puzzle
< Serena >I found myself standing beside a boulder, silently staring at the golden lake inside the Baltic Forest. It looked the same as the last time I saw it, but the sky was dark. The lake and the surrounding diamond-looking flowers now seemed to glow even brighter. They seemed to call to me...seemed to draw out a feeling of nostalgia inside me.I was at peace, completely relaxed until a movement opposite where I was disturbed my solace.From across the lake, a young man emerged from the darkness. He was wearing a black royal suit. From the crest embroidered on his right upper chest, I realized he was someone of status in the Kingdom of Phanteon.I was far away from him, but when I really scrutinized his features, I could see, as clear as day, exactly who he was.King Aero...Or in this case, a younger version of him.And I could see just how melancholic hi
THE ALPHA KING'S CLAIM Chapter 72 - The Mysterious Luna
< Aero >When I woke up earlier this morning, I found Serena surrounded by the bugs. Two were hovering above her, another two were perched on her shoulders while three more rested on her feet.This scene here wasn’t new to me anymore. I had been so accustomed with the bugs that their presence felt like a routine already in our lives. They didn’t stress me out like before nor did it evoke a jealousy within me.Serena was sleeping so calmly that I didn’t want to bother her. I just continued on staring at her whilst welcoming the blissful feeling growing inside me. This woman will be my life forever. No one will replace her and no one will take her away from me. She’d be the mother to my sons and daughters. She’d be this kingdom’s best queen.However, I couldn’t keep myself from thinking about her real identity. This one problem had turned out to be the biggest hurdle we had to face.

EpilogueSerena“Ryland! Raziel! Rule! Be ready!” Aero roared as he paced in front of them, acting as game master in this friendly competition of brothers. He was dressed in nothing but trousers while the triplets, as usual, copied their father, acting as if their pre-pubescent muscles could contend to Aero’s bulging ones. The three were lined up within the yellow line, ready and waiting for the red flag to be released.I sat on the stone bench outside the mini arena of Alchidna just observing them. On my lap was Scarlett, trying to shake her baby maracas to the best of her ability. She just turned two five days ago while my triplets reached their teenage status a month before that.Scarlett was a heaven-sent to Aero and I. We were never sure what gender we would be blessed in my second pregnancy, but luckily, it was a female. A princess. Aero let me name her, and I used the Earth name of t

Chapter 57 – Baby StepsSerenaAero broke our kiss when we arrived in our favorite spot in the hot spring.“Welcome back,” he greeted and gave me a wink.I chuckled at this and turned to face the area where we made lots of cherished memories together—well, mostly hot ones.“Don’t just stare. Go and dip. You need to rest. I’ll massage you.”Hearing this, I tossed him a disbelieving look. “What? The great alpha king wants to massage me?”He pulled down his pants and straightened before me with pride in his eyes. “Yes, but you should know I only do this to the woman I love.”“Well then, massage away, my dear alpha king,” I answered before I bit my lower lip.My heart fluttered when he touched me again, first to caress my shoulder and next to trace the mate mark on my neck and the crescent moon mark on my wri

Chapter 56 – The BeginningAeroI didn’t doubt Serena when she said she wanted to deliver our children in a cave and with me assisting her. She trusted me with our sons’ lives. She didn’t second-guess me, so it was only right I shouldn’t second-guess myself too.Obviously, this wasn’t what we planned at all, but considering the circumstances, this was the best we could get. Serena seemed contented, so I was contented.Seeing her in pain, it sliced me to pieces. I wished I could fight this battle with her. I wished I could feel the same pain as what she was feeling, but I knew this was an obstacle reserved only for her.When our firstborn arrived, my happiness was over the moon.A father. The word echoed in my head repeatedly.I couldn’t believe I am a father now.I wanted to celebrate, but I knew it was best to do so later. Serena was due to deliv

Chapter 54 – Precious SoulsSerenaA sound of a cry and a huff escaped my mouth when I realized who just materialized inside the cave. My husband, who looked so good, so handsome, but also so worried, stood before me. My heart instantly leaped in joy.Finally, he came and right on time.“You never called me,” he said as he stepped forward toward me.“I was about to,” I answered, half wincing, half smiling.His warm hand contacted my cheek, and I reveled in the feel that it brought.“How are you feeling?” His gentle eyes landed on mine. His other hand touched my contracting belly and moved it up and down the roundness.“Tired,” I replied. “I’m in labor, Aero.”“I know,” he simply answered. He looked so calm on the exterior, but I knew deep inside his many emotions were swirling

Chapter 53 –The Scent of the QueenAeroI must say, Calaheim did me a favor. The area where the portal ended brought me inside a house that sickeningly smelled like Sofia. I was in a foyer in what I could reckon as the second floor, judging from the nearby stairs I spotted and the grand chandelier hanging on a beam just leveled with my line of sight. Below me, I could hear a woman talking—or more like complaining—together with a man groaning in pain.I instantly recognized their voices. One was Dr. Rutherford or Hilda with a rougher tone now than before, and the second was from Viscount Daniel.Slowly, I inched closer to the stone balustrade to spy on the situation. The viscount’s rough state made me clench my hands instantly.He was shirtless and bloody, with his arms and chest wounded with a slicing cut of a blade. This blade was visible on Hilda’s hand. The edge was pointed to

Chapter 53 –ForgivenessAeroHadon was sneaky, but I was sneakier. What I did was to only use my enhanced sense of smell to locate him everywhere he went in Ehnrelil. I observed enough distance between us; hid under the shadows or behind the walls and watched his every move.First, Hadon went to the Council of Elders’ tower. Did some paperwork there until he left two hours later and went to the Rexhus Tower. There were priestesses in training there. He observed them with a disappointed face and demanded more from them. Like a boastful man, he showed his spells—cheap magic tricks that even a fae child could do. But there was one that caught my eye. It was the cloaking spell he used when he kidnapped Serena.I gritted my teeth while I watched him show it off to the priestesses. I wanted to rip his throat apart, but I knew I had to be mor

Chapter 52 –Tailing the FaeAeroQueen Adna looked morose when I teleported to her throne room. Gone was her beauty. Gone was her radiance. She sat on the throne, slumped, silent and without life. It was ironic to watch her like this because I knew, if I was a female version worrying about Serena’s welfare, I would look the same.When she noticed my entrance, she perked up and her expression lightened a bit.“Have you found her?” She stood and asked without delay.I shook my head and maintained my neutral face. My anger remained on the surface just waiting to explode; waiting for me to unleash it to the right person. I just needed to find this person first.“No, I still haven’t, but I found out who took her,” I answered.Queen Adna’s worried ex

Chapter 51 – The Luna EscapesSerenaLike what Viscount Daniel said, I ran—or more like plodded—as far away as possible from Sofia’s house.The house was impressive—that was my first impression when I first glimpsed it en route to my escape path. The walls were made of white bricks and it was covered in vines almost deliberately to camouflage it with its surroundings. It had a landscaped garden and toadstool pathways—a standard in every fae house, but hers was a weird dark violet. The house was surrounded by autumn-colored trees and lavender-green grass; quite picturesque if not for the owner and the people living in it.The bluish color of the barrier was visible around the house, yet I couldn’t quite figure out the depth of its coverage: how many kilometers it stretched or how high it reached the sky.D

Chapter 50 – Her Majesty’s SaviorSerena“What does it feel to be hopeless now, luna? It’s fun, right?” Hilda stated as she continued to stare down at me. Her mocking voice was dripping with confidence, so similar like her daughter’s. I wanted to lash out, give her a witty reply, but the state I was in reduced me into a moaning mess.I embraced my contracting belly and ignored her instead.“Your husband will never find you. You are doomed,” she continued, still with the viscount by her side, just looking at me with no emotion in his eyes. “My daughter’s house is imbued with her magic—from the surrounding landscape to this very building we stand, and with Hadon’s help, this place is forever hidden. No one can enter unless I will it so.”“Mhhhh!” A whimper of
