CHAPTER 75: PLEASE HELP ME EVERLY;As Kaelan bolted out of the temple, I stared at his disappearing figure, speechless. I didn't understand why he acted the way he did.What have I done wrong?It wasn't my fault that his fallen warriors couldn't be revived. I told him I couldn't do it but he insisted. Now he acted as if I was responsible for their deaths.I dusted myself, shifted into my werewolf form and took off.I ran faster than a speeding vehicle and was in the castle in no time.I halted when I saw a figure standing at the entrance, barely holding herself up. As I moved closer, I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see Kaelan.He left me in the temple but I got home before him.We ignored each other but our focus was on the figure standing in front of the castle gate.Isabella.She looked disheveled, and her once perfectly styled hair looked tangled and fell around her bruised face. Her dress was torn, and dirt clung to the fabric. A gash could also be seen running down he
CHAPTER 76 : HE TREATS YOU LIKE TRASH EVERLY:I didn't have dinner because I was upset. Isabella was back to cause trouble between Kaelan and I.She didn't just want me to enjoy my marriage.The silence in the castle made me feel very bored and lonely. Kaelan hadn’t spoken a word to me since the night we found Isabella at the gate, looking vulnerable. I was used to his brooding face, but right now? I just don't know what to think any more..I needed air.And a distraction. A shopping trip would do me good. At least, it would keep me from obsessing over Kaelan’s ridiculous silent treatment.I dressed simply—nothing too flashy—and headed to the market in the nearby town. It was bustling with activities. I inhaled deeply, letting the sounds and smells ease the tension in my chest.I was admiring a pair of silver earrings when I felt someone’s gaze on me. The hair on my neck rose instinctively. Slowly, I turned.A man stood a few feet away, and looked at me with open curiosity. He wa
CHAPTER 77: DON'T PUSH ME EVERLY:Kaelan has not changed his cold attitude toward me and I'm not comfortable with it. I don't know if he was still mourning his fallen warriors or just mad at me for failing to bring them back to life.Whatever reason he had, I was done putting up with the silent treatment.It had been two days since he complained about my little conversation with Jordan and he still hadn’t spoken a single word to me. He didn’t even act as if I was there when we had our meals. He would just sit there, eating silently while I fumed.I hated this.I had tried to break the ice more times than I could count. I’d bought him some shirts but he just tossed them aside and said nothing.I’d sat next to him, brushing my fingers against his but he moved his hand away. I even wore one of his shirts to bed last night, hoping the sight of me wearing his clothes would make him laugh but he pretended not to notice.I was done..I was at my breaking point.And if he wanted to be stubbo
CHAPTER 77: GIVING MYSELF A BREAK EVERLY:I dragged my luggage back to my room and fell on my bed, covering my face with my hands in frustration. A festival in two days and I wasn't even informed about it until now?What is Kaelan trying to prove? That no matter how powerful I became, I was still under him?I can't believe the Alpha King felt insecure to me. Our relationship problems started the moment Isabella set her foot in this pack. And now that she has succeeded in turning Crescent Moon upside down, Kaelan is blaming me.Talking of Isabella, where the hell is Kaelan hiding her?If he insisted on keeping her in Crescent Moon, I don't really care as long she stays out of my way.Jordan said something about Kaelan sleeping with my step sister right under my nose.How true is that?Its better not to think about it. Men are polygamous in nature and can hardly stick to one partner. However, it would be a slap on my face if Kaelan sleeps with Isabella.She doesn't even like him like
CHAPTER 78: WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?EVERLY:I continued to look at the direction of the door even after Kaelan had left. Deep down in my heart I was very worried. It seems as if all we do these days is drift apart.The disturbing sound of my heart as it leaped against my chest made it impossible for me to focus.By now, my fingers could no longer grasp the knitting pins. I tossed them aside and stood up. I didn't want us to go on this way.We really needed to talk.I moved around the entire packhorse looking for Kaelan. Eventually I found him in the pack bar, helping himself to a vodka.I stood in a corner and watched him gulp down the content in a glass cup, then hauled the cup across the bar. The glass cup hit a wall and made a crashing sound that caused me to flinch.I summoned the courage and walked over. Something was definitely bothering my baby.He slumped on the armchair, and turned his gaze away as soon as he saw me coming. I went behind him, placed my hands on his shoulders an
CHAPTER 79: HAVE MY HEIR EVERLY:I went back to my room after I spent a few minutes with Kaelan, telling him how great a leader he was even without being very brutal. But he still insisted on going back to his ruthless Alpha status.I was working on another sweater, a pink turtleneck sweater for a baby girl. Knitting has become my hobby and I like the way it keeps my hands busy. That way, I won't worry about everything Kaelan and I had been through.I didn't look up when I heard someone opening the door. Kaelan's scent always told me when he was around. When he walked in, his boots didn't make a sound against the floor but I could feel his presence. “Luna,” he called me with a husky voice. I looked up. He was dressed in his usual dark tunic, fitted black pants, and a leather belt that held his dagger. His long hair was tied back in a low knot, but a few strands had escaped, brushing against his sharp jawline.Without a word, he walked over and plucked the knitting materials from
CHAPTER 80: GET ME PREGNANT EVERLY:“Baby, I like the scent of your body,” Kaelan said as he sniffed my skin. “So intoxicating.”I smiled and said nothing. He was very close and my body had already begun to tingle.Kaelan reached around my waist and pulled me closer. He licked my neck, down to my collarbone and sucked my skin continuously for a while.His hands traced my hip up and down while he continued to sulk my skin. By now, my entire body has started to heat up.My breathing has increased and my body waited in anticipation, knowing what Kaelan can do to me. He hovered over me and stared directly into my eyes. “What's on your mind, Luna?”“Get me pregnant,” I murmured without thinking. “Make me carry your heir.”“Aww! I will do that,” he smirked. “Just give me a minute.”His hand moved down to my thighs and he caressed gently. Then his hand moved up and rubbed my pussy gently. “Oh Kaelan!” I moaned softly.He moved up and kissed my lips passionately, making me gasp for breath.
CHAPTER 81: PREPARING FOR THE FESTIVAL EVERLY:I am Crescent Moon Luna, and Kaelan has assigned some duties which I must fulfill. It doesn't matter if I'm experienced or not. Luckily, I have a lot of loyal friends who can help with the festival preparations.I will try my best to make sure that the Moonfire Festival is celebrated successfully. But I was still worried about Kaelan. The thought of him out there, alone, facing who-knew-what, made me worried.Still, I had no choice. I had to be strong. I had to lead.The Moonfire Festival was one of the most important celebrations in Crescent Moon. It was a way that we honored the bond between the pack and the Moon Goddess. The festive activity revolved around feasting, dancing, and strengthening our unity. This year, we felt it's important to celebrate because people are worried about the way the pack keeps losing it's warriors. Having a feast would ease up the tension a bit.I called the key members of the pack to the council chamber
CHAPTER 101: I DON'T WANT THINGS, KAELAN.KAELAN: I’d taken the priestess’s vial in a desperate move to ensure that our packs survive against our enemies' growing threat. But the price was a chilling void where my love for Everly should have been. Or, at least, the expression of that love.The feeling was still there, buried deep in my heart, but the ability to show it was gone.And she's been so cold lately and has been avoiding me.I bought her a diamond ring and other expensive jewelry to show her that she was still precious to me. I didn't think I could face her yet, so I sent Owen to give her the gifts.I waited anxiously for her to come to me. But she didn't. Instead, Owen came back with the package and a note with Everly's handwriting.“What did she say?” I asked, my voice rough, as Owen entered the room.He shook his head, looking so grim. “She didn't take the gifts, Alpha. Not even a single one.”“She refused them?” My voice cracked and I could feel my heartbeat accelerati
CHAPTER 100: WE'RE WELL PREPARED KAELANThe moment Everly left, I felt so frustrated that I punched the wall until my fist began to bleed. I wanted to tell her everything. But how could I, when I wasn’t even sure I’d ever go back to being normal?Owen came back in and stood in front of me, waiting for me to give him attention. I stared at him blankly and it made him feel a little uncomfortable. “Alpha, Zeus has moved faster than we anticipated.”I leaned forward and my weight made the polished wood to creak in response. “Faster how, Owen? I thought we had eyes on him.”“We do,” he confirmed, and lowered his gaze down to the folder before returning to mine. “He may not be able to buy weapons directly, but he’s working through proxies—human criminal syndicates.”“Really.”“Yes, Alpha. He’s negotiating a deal, an arms deal, with the Serpent’s Coil cartel. They’re… well, they’re not exactly known for their peaceful resolutions. They’ll provide the weapons he needs in exchange for someth
CHAPTER 99: I DON'T NEED THIS KAELAN:I was going through some files in the office and got a message from Kenneth, a business associate of mine about the latest market trends.I'm a werewolf Alpha but I also run a lot of flourishing businesses. I've been away from the metropolis for a while but my businesses are in capable hands.Kenneth and I chatted for a while, while Owen stood before me, his face devoid of emotions as always.I knew something was wrong. Something seems to be always wrong these days. As soon as I was done chatting with Kenneth, I gave Owen my attention. I knew something was wrong but I knew I couldn't tell what it was until I heard from him.“Speak,” I ordered, my voice sharp.Owen looked at me directly. “Alpha, Zeus is furious about the new threaty. But he's not giving up. He’s resorted to meeting with underground arms dealers, trying to find a way around the restrictions.”I clenched my jaw. “He won’t succeed. The mayor may be human, but he knows better than to
CHAPTER 98: A GROWING DISTANCEEVERLY:I was so pissed with Kaelan’s sudden change of attitude towards me. I can hardly believe this was the same Kaelan I had married. He claims to still be here when actually he isn't.As I stormed out of the bedroom in anger, I expected him to catch my arm, pull me to himself and show me that he was still here indeed, but he didn't.My chest heaved with frustration as I hurried off. I wasn’t even sure where I was going, but I needed to get away from him. Away from the coldness in his eyes. Away from the emptiness that had replaced the man I loved.I walked through the long corridors of the packhouse, and tried not to make a sound. The moonlight still glowed beautifully in the sky. It reminded me how beautiful our love had once been.Our love was once as beautiful as the full moon. Now, all I felt was a void.I leaned on the wall and felt utterly helpless.“Luna,” Owen called as he approached. “Are you alright?”I turned to face him, and tried to sm
CHAPTER 97: A DANGEROUS AGREEMENTKAELAN:I was in such a great mood after I defeated Marcus. I knew the battle wasn't over but I needed to celebrate this little victory. I had breakfast with my Luna, specially prepared by our chef. Back in my chamber, I pulled Everly to myself.“Come to Daddy,” I said sweetly in her ear and rubbed her belly. “I want to pump my seed in here.”She blushed different shades of red while I pressed a kiss on her forehead. “Come,” I dragged her hand and slipped it under my panties. I wanted her to feel my manhood. She was still blushing but she followed every of my moves. It's been days since I touched her.Now I expected my cock to roar to life after that soft caress by my luna but I felt nothing.I pulled off every single clothing on my body and sprawled on the bed. “Play with Daddy,” I told her, pulling her toward myself. Everly got to work. She kissed me tenderly on my lips while she ran her hands along my arbs. Her thumb circled my nipples and I ex
CHAPTER 96: DEFEATING MARCUS KAELAN: My warriors have assembled outside the castle gates, their armor gleaming under the pale moonlight. The energy in the air was tangible. It was as if a storm was brewing, waiting to be unleashed.Owen moved to my side, his sword strapped across his back. "The scouts just returned. Marcus has fortified the Silver Cross pack with twice the number of rogues. And the humans he recruited? They're armed to the teeth."I smirked. "Good. It'll make crushing them all the more satisfying."Everly was standing close by but her eyes were down and she played with her fingers. My heart went out for her.She was nervous, obviously afraid for me. I walked up to her. "Hey, sweetheart, something on your mind?”She didn't respond.I stared at her for a while. “Make sure you stay here."She scoffed. "Like hell I will.""Everly!"She lifted her chin stubbornly. "You might be immune to silver now, but that doesn’t make you invincible. You need me."I let out a breath
CHAPTER 95: LET'S GO TAKE SILVER CROSS BACK KAELAN:I coordinated my warriors, and gave them instructions on how to attack the enemies and defend themselves. Also we spent the rest of the evening making handmade bulletproof vests.It might not be sophisticated enough but it would certainly make a difference. The hours before dawn passed in restless silence. I lay awake, staring at the ceiling of my chambers, the vial of silver liquid still wrecking havoc with my body. Everly hadn’t returned to our room after storming out of the meeting. I knew she was angry but she'll get over it. Being mated to the Alpha King comes with a cost.A knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts."Enter," I called.The door opened gently, and Owen entered, looking grim. "It’s almost time for the battle, Alpha."I sat up, running a hand through my hair before standing. Owen watched me carefully, like he was afraid something would happen to me.But I didn't give a damn.I grabbed my own vest and followed
CHAPTER 94: JUST ENOUGH FOR ONE WOLF KAELAN:“Kaelan, are you sure about this?” Zion was speaking to me all of a sudden. “I'm worried about the effects she mentioned. Think of what would happen if you lose your memory and can no longer remember a thing. It would be worse than being attacked with ammunition.”I continued walking, but my face felt so tight it hurt. “I won't lose my memory.”“And what if you lost your ability to love. What would happen to your beautiful Luna? She's too young to put up with a man who can't love her.”I paused and thought about it for a while. Well, this was a matter of life and death. We need to be alive first before we can talk about love, right?When Zion received no response from me, he moved ahead.“You know, Kaelan, there can be another way around this. You can talk to Alpha Jordan. He has connections to those who can supply you with sophisticated weapons.”I paused and looked at him. “That's an excellent idea but there's no time. An arm deai takes
CHAPTER 93; BEWARE, ALPHA KaelanZion led the way since he was going to introduce me to the priestess. The journey to the priestess’s domain was tedious. We drove for a while and packed at the base of a mountain. Then we climbed the mountain on foot. We are werewolves and climbing the mountain wasn't such a big deal.However, we had to shift and fight a few mountain predators before we made it to our destination.The smell of ancient herbs made me realise we were near.I saw a wooden door in the distance, adorned with runes that pulsed faintly, as if it was alive. I raised my fist to knock as we got closer, but before I could, the door opened on its own.It was dark inside and I couldn't see a thing. Then I heard someone’s voice from the darkness within. "Come in, Alpha of Crescent Moon."I paused, and glanced around. She certainly was something. She knew who I was.After I summoned enough courage, I entered and dragged Zion along with me.The only thing that lit the room was a sma
