CHAPTER 13: I LOVE YOU TOO

KAELAN;

It was getting late and we needed to get out of the forest fast. Not that I was afraid—a Lycan King can never show fear—but I didn't want to put Everly in any form of danger. The fastest way to get back home was by moving in our Wolf forms.

I caught a glimpse of her Wolf today but it wasn't very strong. So I shifted back to my Lycan form and crouched down, ordering her to climb on top of my back. She hesitated for a moment and obeyed. As she held tightly onto me, I raced with a lightning speed.

In a quarter of an hour, we were back in the castle.

As we returned home, I noticed Everly was unusually quiet.

Too quiet.

“What's on your mind, beautiful girl.”

“Nothing,” she said without meeting my gaze.

I watched her all evening, hoping to see a change in her attitude but she remained cold and aloof. Dinner was served and as we settled down to eat, I focused my gaze on her.

It was unlike her to sit silently, with her fork pushing food around and he

    CHAPTER 14: SHE IS A ROGUE EVERLY:“Alpha King,” Elder Jonas greeted. His graying hair was a testament to his decades of service to our kingdom. His tone was respectful, but the unease in his eyes betrayed his intentions.“Elders,” I said, standing tall. “I summoned you all here to introduce my mate to you. Her name is Everly and she is from the Silver Cross, one of the pack's within our kingdom.”Jonas exchanged a glance with Elder Miriam, the oldest and often most vocal member of the council. She's also Seraphina 's mother.“Oh you found a mate,” Miriam said, her voice sharp. “ And her name is Everly.”The sound of Everly's name on Miriam’s tongue sent a flicker of anger through me, but I kept my face neutral. “Yes?”“She is... a rogue,” Jonas began delicately. “We understand if you claim she is your mate, but her arrival has stirred unease among some of the pack.”“Unease?” I echoed, my voice dangerously low.Miriam folded her hands with a stern expression . “She was chased out of

    CHAPTER 15: REVEALING THE PROPHECY EVERLY:As the last elder left the chamber, Kaelan took my hand and led me to his room. This was the first time I've entered his room and it made my breath hitch. His room was spacious and luxuriously furnished. I stared at his portrait that hung on the wall. It was a captured image of him, sitting on his throne, wearing all the regal attires of a Lycan King. It was beautiful.Suddenly, Kaelan turned me around and pinned me against the wall, gazing at me with lustful eyes. I blushed and lowered my lashes, unable to meet his gaze. He lifted my chin so I could look at him. “You’re beautiful, Everly,”“Thank you, Kaelan. You are handsome too.” I blurted before I could stop myself.His gaze became more intense and he lowered his lips to mine. His lips brushed mine in a seductive way and I felt my body ache for his touch. He deepened the kiss, while his hand moved down my back until it settled on my butt and squeezed gently. He kiss me so passionately

It was almost impossible to believe that there would be such a strong prophecy about someone as insignificant as me.All these years I had lived like a puppet, thinking I was created by mistake. But the Moon Goddess had bigger plans. Oh how I wish I could bring prosperity to the werewolf kingdom instead of doom.Well, I was just going to do my best and leave the rest for the goddess above. Kaelan and I spent the rest of the night in each other's arms while he occasionally traced wet kisses around my neck. I returned to my room in the morning and found breakfast already waiting for me.Kaelan had left early for a business engagement so we aren't sharing breakfast today. I ate my food in silence, feeling bored already. I can't really explain it but I've begun to feel empty whenever Kaelan wasn't around.I didn't have much activities to participate in, in the castle, especially after Kaelan

I could see her chest heaving and her face pale.“What's wrong, Everly?”“I had a nightmare,” she said softly.“What was it about?”“An unseen force crept into my body and I felt suffocated,” she told me.I searched her face, wondering what was going on. Just then, I received a message from Duncan, my Beta through the mind link. The werewolf council members are here to see you. “Go and have a bath,” I said to Everly.”I'll be back in a short while.”—I walked into the Council Chambers and felt the tension in the room. I took my seat and glanced around the faces of the elders, wondering why they were here. The Council Chamber was usually a space for calm delibera

Out of curiosity, I stood and listened, pressing my ears to the wall."Everly is a threat!" Miriam’s voice was sharp, and the way she spoke about me felt like a stab to my heart. “What she did today is nothing but witchcraft. You’re risking the pack for whatever feelings you think you have for.""I will not banish her," Kaelan replied, his voice firm and unwavering. "She’s under my protection, and she has done nothing to harm this pack. I will make her my Luna.”I felt my heartbeat quicken in fear. Luna. The way the elders spoke ill of me, made me sick to my stomach and I suddenly felt that I didn't want to be part of this pack anymore.Kaelan’s pack didn’t trust me. They didn't want me. I was a stranger, an outsider, and my presence was causing

They’ve already crossed into our territory."My body tensed instantly. Today seemed to be a bad day. I had just gotten off arguing with the elders and now this? "How many are they?""At least twenty," Duncan said. "But there could be more. Marcus appears to be... organizing them."Marcus. This is a bit serious. Rogues were typically scattered, and disorganized, and most times they acted on impulse. The fact that Marcus was involved meant they have strategized and that could be trouble.I turned to Everly, “I've got to go, my love.”“Can I come with you?”“No. Not even in your dream.”“But I could be of help,” she said with pleading eyes. “Please.”“The answer is no. Go get some rest, I can handle it.”I watched as she pouted and walked away reluctantly. Then I tu

I sat in my study, and stared at the map of our territory spread out before me. Duncan soon walked in and stood nearby, his expression grim."The timing of this attack," I said, breaking the silence. "It’s too convenient."Duncan nodded. "You’re thinking someone inside the pack tipped them off?""Not just anyone," I said, my jaw tightening. "A member of the displeased Council members might have thought to put me on edge."Duncan’s eyes widened. "That’s a serious accusation, Alpha.""I don’t make accusations lightly," I said.

The only explanation I could come up with was my refusal to let her go to battle with me.“You know, Everly, time will come when we'll go to battles together, side by side, defending our throne, our people and our love. But there's no need to rush. You need to learn and be incorporated into our ways of doing things.”When I saw how she shivered, I put a jacket over her shoulders and led her closer to the fireplace. We both felt warm as we sat down by the fireplace, my thumb brushing over her knuckles. "You’re important to me, Everly," I said softly. "I don’t want to see you hurt."She looked up at me, her eyes searching mine. "I’m not used to someone caring so much," she admitted."You’ll have to get used to it," I said, a smile tugging at my lips.Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out a sleek

Ava, the cook, stood trembling, while Maria, my maid, twisted her fingers nervously.Kaelan’s voice was like a whip as he addressed them. "Who prepared Everly's lunch today?""I… I did, my king," Ava stammered."And who served it?"Maria stepped forward hesitantly. "It was me, Your Majesty. But I only brought the tray from the kitchen. I didn’t touch the food."Kaelan’s piercing gaze swept over them both. "If either of you is lying, I will find out. Do not test me.""I swear, I'm innocent," Maria cried, tears streaming down her face.I stepped forward, placing a hand on Kaelan’s arm. "Kaelan, I’ve known these.two for months. Let’s dig deeper before convicting them."He tightened his jaw but nodded. "Fine. But we can't let them go yet. They have to be kept in a cell until the investigation is over. if they’re innocent, someone else is guilty.”Kaelan ordered the guards to sweep t

Instead, he took a deep breath, visibly calming himself.“Seraphina was pleading with me to release her mother,” he said evenly. “That’s all.”I scoffed. “She was practically glued to your body.”“I didn’t encourage it,” he countered. “And I didn’t touch her. I would never touch her, Everly.”I wanted to believe him, but the knot in my chest wouldn’t loosen. “It didn’t look that way.”He took my hand and led me to my bedroom. Placing his hands gently on my shoulders, he said with a soft voice, “Look at me, you know me better than this. You think I’d betray you? After what we've just been through?”The knot in my chest loosened a bit. “Seraphina is beautiful, Kaelan. Probably too beautiful for you to resist.” I turned away from him. “I think you like her. Maybe not as much as she desires but you certainly feel something for….”His eyes darkened, and before I could finish, he pulled me in

They will guide you.”Kaelan placed a protective arm around me as we left the temple. I looked up at him as we made our way home. “I don't know, Kaelan, but I think I believe everything she said.”“Me too. And I believe in you.” he said as he kissed my forehead.As we stepped into the threshold of the castle, Seraphina stepped forward boldly and gave Kaelan a hug.I was very exhausted and even feared I might collapse any moment. The ritual had drained every strength in me and I couldn't wait to enjoy the comfort of my bed. But as we approached the grand doors of the castle, I heard a woman’s voice.“Alpha!”Then Seraphina just appeared from no where and threw her arms around him.I froze, the sight rooting me in place.“Seraphina,” Kaelan said in a casual way. He didn’t return her embr

The awakening ritual will reveal the extent of your power.”I was reluctant and my heart beat kept increasing. Kaelan’s voice was soft beside me. “I’m here, Everly. You don’t have to be afraid.”I summoned courage, moved forward and knelt down. I wasn't afraid anymore but I knew my life will never remain the same.I found it hard to look into the shimmering eyes of the priestess. It was like molten ice and somehow unnatural. She pointed to the stone altar at the center of the room and told me to go there.“Lie down, child,” she said. “The awakening ritual requires your full submission to the moon’s power.”I felt reluctant and looked back at Kaelan, hoping he could reassure me. He stood tall, his golden eyes locked on meHe was silent but I knew he was solidly behind me.“I'm here with you,” he murmured, not taking his eyes off me . “I’m not going anywhere.”Swallowing hard, I nodded and sprawle

Given the way I was raised, living a life of luxury was something I didn't know I could indulge in. Now , I felt so feminine and elegant and ultimately… beautiful. Someone knocked at the door and snapped me out of my thoughts. Before I could answer, Kaelan walked in. His commanding presence filled the room, and his sharp gaze immediately landed on me.“You’re rying on your new clothes?” he asked, smiling as his eyes roamed over me.I felt my cheeks flush. “I, uh… yes. Just wanted to see if they fit.”“That dress fit perfectly,” he said, with a low and husky voice. He walked over to where I was and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his chest. The warmth of his touch sent a shiver down my spine.“I hope you enjoyed your day, my future Luna?” he asked. His thumb caressed my cheek, and his gol
