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

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    EVERLY, STOP!

    CHAPTER 83: EVERLY, STOP!Everly:I was angry at the sight of Viktor mocking my baby. And seeing the armour in his possession made me mad. I didn't need to taste blood before the shadows came.The sound of Viktor’s mocking laughter was enough to turn me into a beast. While he clutched Kaelan’s armor in his filthy hands, holding it up like some twisted trophy, I struck him with the speed of lightning.The shadows circled me like a snake and everything around me turned golden.I could feel the power as it flooded my entire system and I knew I was in my primordial form. My claws lengthened and my strength multiplied. I slammed my fist into his ribcage with jet speed, cutting off air from his lungs. One second he was grinning, the next, he was spinning through the air, slamming against a tree with bone-cracking force.He groaned in pain, and tried to stagger to his feet, but I wasn’t done. I had only just begun.I raised my hand, and my claws glowed golden. The energy pulsed from my cl

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    THE MOONFIRE CELEBRATION

    CHAPTER 84: MOONFIRE CELEBRATION EVERLY:I used my super speed and caught up with Kaelan a moment before he got to Crescent Moon pack gate. He didn't turn to look at me even when I knew he heard my scent.We entered the gates of the royal pack house together. Kaelan carried the armor with one hand and supported Viktor's body on his shoulder with the other.The entire pack began to hail and cheer us. The warriors howled into the night sky, and their voices sounded very powerful, and unified. The song made me shiver in awe.Some shifters beat the drum in the distance, and the rhythmic and steady sound made me joyful. It set the tone for the festival that was already in full swing. I could see bonfires as it blazed, casting golden light across the clearing where pack members danced in wild, graceful movements. We are werewolves and we loved to celebrate under the full moon.Kaelan acknowledged the cheers before he tossed Viktor into the dungeon like a sack of rotten meat. He locked t

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    THEY'RE MY FAMILY

    CHAPTER 85: THEY'RE MY FAMILY EVERLY:“Put your hands up and shut your eyes,” many warriors, about six of them, were busy punishing a young man.I moved closer and gasped. Evan, my brother,was on his knees, one of his hands pressed against his side where blood seeped through his tunic, while the other hand raised up high. “What the heck is going on?”Evan’s face was contorted in pain, and his breathing was laboured. It was as if he wasn't getting enough air. Crescent Moon warriors had their weapons drawn, and their eyes burned with anger.My aunt was on the ground, and her hands were with iron cuffs.They must have been mistaken as spies.Kaelan had given a strict order earlier today.The sight of my brother at the verge of death made me growl with so much fury that the ground beneath us seemed to shake.“What the hell are you doing?” I roared, stepping between Evan and the warriors. “Let them go!”One of the guards, a burly man with a scar across his cheek, narrowed his eyes at m

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    HE STOLE MY MATE

    CHAPTER 86: HE STOLE MY MATE KAELAN:I slept restlessly and got out of bed quite early. I took a slow walk around my palace, making sure my authority was felt. Today, the council members and I are having a crucial meeting. I am the Alpha king but the opinion of my people matters whenever I'm making a decision.I entered the council chambers and sat on my throne, waiting. It didn't take long at all before the council members came in one after another.I acknowledged their greetings with a stiff expression.It was probably the look on my face that made the grand hall seem so tense but I liked it that way. The more afraid of me they were, the better.The werewolf council members sat in a semicircle, and waited for me to address them.Without wasting any time, I spoke with authority as I addressed the council. “Viktor has failed as an alpha and must be stripped of the title. He has allied with rogues, enslaved his pack members and even stole my armor—an artifact that symbolizes the str

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    NO LONGER AN ALPHA

    CHAPTER 87: NO LONGER AN ALPHA KAELAN:Everly spoke with equal confidence. She wasn't at all intimidated by the sharp gazes shot at her by the council. “He made it clear he didn't want me. And I accepted his rejection because he threatened to kill me if I didn't accept his rejection.”Alpha Ronan frowned as he turned his focus on Viktor who seemed less confident now. “Is this true?”Viktor let out a dry chuckle. “She’s lying. She left because she was angry. That doesn’t mean I rejected her.”Everly countered his claim firmly. “You stood in front of the entire Silver Cross pack and rejected me! You called me weak and worthless, accused me of sleeping around when I was still a virgin. “You said you would rather be mate-less than accept me as your mate. And to make matters worse, you banished me from the pack.”The room fell into silence.Viktor’s smirk faltered for just a second before he sneered. “That’s just your version of the story.”I rose from my seat and walked toward him, and

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    HE HAS TO EARN IT

    CHAPTER 88: HE HAS TO EARN ITEVERLY:I knew it was too soon for me to talk about this but I just couldn't wait for Evan, my twin brother, to take back Silver Cross, the pack that Viktor had stolen from our mother before she died.Kaelan didn't utter a word until we entered his chamber. I wrapped my arms around his neck and brushed a kiss across his lips but he didn't respond. His lips remained tightly closed.He was no longer as affectionate as he used to be with me but it didn't stop me from snuggling up with him whenever I had the opportunity. Acting high and mighty was alright with me, as long as we still committed to each other.“Kaelan, please say something.”“About what?” his tone was nonchalant.I rolled my eyes. “About Evan, my twin brother taking over the leadership of Silver Cross.”Kaelan’s expression hardened. “No.”I blinked. “No?”He walked over to a chair and sat down.. “Evan isn’t ready, Everly. I can’t just hand over an entire pack to him. He has to earn it.”I felt

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    STAY AWAY FROM EVERLY!

    CHAPTER 89: STAY AWAY FROM EVERLY EVERLY:Evan was happy with his little progress. And I was impressed. Being motivated, he made sure he trained every day. I went to meet him in the training ground as always, so we could train together. He was eager to show me how much he has improved and kept throwing one punch after another.I dodged one of his punches and went for a counterattack. But the moment my fist was about to make contact with his shoulder, I felt strong energy radiate from him, sending me flying backward.I hit a tree nearby and almost gut injured. I coughed as I struggled to regain my breath. “What the hell…?”Evan was equally shocked as he stared at his hands in shock. “Did I… did I just do that?”I got to my feet, and rubbed my sore arm. “Yeah. Yeah, you did.”His eyes were wide. “How?”I walked toward him, panting profusely. “It’s obvious you have a gift, Evan. You’re not just a werewolf.”He swallowed hard. “But… I’ve never done anything like that before.”I placed a

    CHAPTER 90: FIRST ASSIGNMENT Kaelan: I turned around and headed back to the royal pack house, but Owen's voice came into my head through the mind link. “Alpha, I need to see you .”I ignored him and entered my chamber. But he was right there waiting. “What do you want,” I thundered once I saw him.Owen took a deep breath “Alpha, Marcus has taken over Silver Cross. Viktor’s fall left a power vacuum, and Marcus filled it before anyone could act. He declared himself Alpha and crowned Seraphina as his queen.”I growled in anger as my chest rose and fell. Marcus—the rogue leader. That filthy bastard had been circling like a vulture, waiting for a moment of weakness.“Get me Evan,” I ordered and took a seat. Evan entered my chamber in a flash. He seemed eager to please me.I turned to Evan, and eyed him for a while. “Looks like your first assignment as a potential Alpha has arrived.”Evan knitted in-between his brows. “My first assignment?”“Yes, Silver Cross pack has been hijacked by a r

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    EPILOGUE

    EPILOGUE It was the full moon and the gentle breeze stirred the trees, making the palace look very alluring.Crescent Moon has been peaceful for so many months now. This was a hard-earned peace. The occupants of this pack and palace had gone through years of struggle, sacrifice and resilience.Kaelan stood on the balcony of his chambers, and surveyed the vast territory he now ruled. The once-fractured packs of the country were now unified under his reign, and Crescent Moon had become a beacon of progress. He had built industries that now flourished, and provided security and wealth, while the werewolf college he had also recently built ensured that future generations were educated in both the ways of the world and the sacred traditions of their kind.He heard the soft giggle of his toddler and turned to see Everly standing in the doorway. Her eyes were filled with warmth as she carried her son, Maxine in her arms.Maxine was now a vibrant toddler with wild curls and eyes as deep and

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    THE HEIR IS HERE

    CHAPTER 159: THE HEIR IS HERE EVERLY:When Kaelan returned in the evening and learnt about the Carter incident, he became very angry with me.“I told you not to leave our chambers. What did you go to the clinic for?”“I'm sorry, Kaelan. I only wanted to comfort the boy.” I explained.“And what did you get in return, huh? You almost had yourself killed with my pup in your womb.”“Oh, this is all about protecting your pup,” I said calmly.“Don't get me more upset than I already am,. Everly,” he said coldly and stormed out of our room.A moment later, I heard him yelling at someone downstairs and when I looked through the balcony, I saw him yelling at Owen. He told him he was incompetent and couldn't handle a simple task of protecting the Luna.Owen was on his knees begging.I wanted to go downstairs to explain things further but I knew it would make him even more furious. So I held my breath and wished he could calm down. He did calm down eventually but things never remained the same

    CHAPTER 158: DUNCAN IS DEAD EVERLY:When we left the clinic, Kaelan decided to go to the library to check things out. He was going through some reports when Owen knocked.“Come in,” he responded impatiently.Owen walked in with hesitant steps. “Alpha, Duncan request an audience with you.”Kaelan closed the file in his desk and turned to him. “Is this some kind of a joke? Do you really think I'm jobless? You should know the rules, Owen. I don't go about entertaining wolves from the dungeon.”Owen bowed. “I'm sorry, Alpha.” And then left the room.We spent a few more minutes in the library and then went upstairs. From this moment onward, Kaelan became clingy. He never let me out of his sight. It has been weeks since the rogues abducted me from the market and almost killed me but I still had nightmares. Kaelan was worried and decided that we should seek the help of a certain witch. But I didn't want to go.I couldn't visit a witch with a pup in my womb. Kaelan decided to go alone. I

    CHAPTER 157: ARTIFICIAL FINGERS?EVERLY Viktor let go of my hand when we stepped out of the cell where the rogues had kept me. The building was hidden in a remote forest and I wondered how Viktor was able to locate this place.“I didn't come alone,” he said as if he read my mind. “There are ten Lycans out there, destroying the rogues.”He led me through a hidden path and I saw a car in the distance, waiting.“You brought a car.” I was pleasantly surprised.“Yes, I know you can't shift because of the pregnancy and walking more than twenty miles back to Crescent Moon would be dangerous for you and the pup.”I was impressed with Viktor's thoughtfulness. Who would've thought that the werewolf’s greatest villain had such a good side.I got into the car as soon as we got there and Bennett drove the car away.Beauty was at the gate of the car, pacing. She knew Viktor and the Lycans had gone to rescue and she was obviously anxious. I told Bennett to stop so I could go down. Beauty ran into

    CHAPTER 156: YOU TOOK A BLADE FOR ME EVERLY:Kaelan had been gone for three days.The palace felt empty without him, and each second, I looked forward to his return. It doesn't even matter that Beauty was always in my room, keeping me company.To distract myself, I decided to go shopping with Beauty. “I need some fresh air,” I told her that morning. “And I'm yet to buy baby stroller. Maybe I will see the one I like in the market today.”She grinned. “Sure. Can I come with you?”“Of course,.you can. Kaelan will be mad if he finds out I went to the market alone,” I told her.“Then we need to take some guards,” Beauty suggested. “Just for protection.”I nodded. “Okay. Two or three guards will do.”Beauty went downstairs and informed Owen that we needed three guards to escort us to the market. He made them available immediately.I told the guards to wait in the car when we arrived at the market. I didn't want what happened the last time Beauty and I came to the market to repeat itself ag

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    YOU'RE WELCOME, BABE

    CHAPTER 155: YOU'RE WELCOME, BABEEVERLY:I felt so furious hearing Kaelan talk about my past in that manner. I don't know if it's the pregnancy hormones but I get easily annoyed these days.I didn't make a fuss. I simply left him in the kitchen and retreated to my room. I always did that whenever Kaelan annoyed me.“Luna, I'm sorry,” he said as he entered my room, a few minutes later, looking worried. “I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”“You don't always mean to hurt me but you always do,” I replied dryly.I was busy knitting a cap for my unborn pup. Kaelan wrapped his arms around my shoulders and buried his head in my neck.“Don't be annoyed, my Luna.”I didn't utter another word.The silence between us grew awkward.“I'm planning on going for a short business trip.” he whispered.I dropped the pins and turned to him. “Oh I get it. You're fed up with me and now you want to abandon me with your pup in my womb.”Kaelan withdrew his arms from my shoulders and gazed into my eyes. “Ho

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    I DESERVE WORSE

    CHAPTER 154: I DESERVE WORSEKAELAN:I instructed Owen to take off Viktor's shackles and get him a room in the warrior's lounge. I provided a few pieces of clothing and some toiletries for him. He looked too haggard and really needed to clean up.“I will never again fail you, Alpha.” Viktor couldn't stop expressing his gratitude.But I didn't let my guard down.For days, I kept a keen watch over Viktor, trying to see if there was a reason to doubt him. But there was none yet.Perhaps I needed to put him through a test. And I wasn’t going to make it easy.This morning, Everly curled her arms around me, sleeping soundly. I gazed at her beautiful face. It looked a bit fragile and I couldn't help but plant a wet kiss on her lips.Then I untangled her arms and got out of bed. I headed straight to the tiny room I had given Viktor in the warrior’s lounge.Most of my warriors weren't happy about sharing the lounge with the same terrorist Alpha who had seen to the death of so many Lycans in C

    CHAPTER 153: THE OATH OF A FALLEN ALPHAKAELAN:That same evening, I had a series of meetings with the new packs that wanted to join our league.Luckily, Everly was in a good mood and I didn't have to deal with her mood swings.But Viktor wasn't done getting on my nerves. Why would Viktor request an audience with me after all the terrible things he had done?I can be ruthless when I want to. But I can also be considerate. It wouldn't hurt just to hear him out.Owen was in the library with me, waiting for my response. “So what does he want?” I asked, barely looking up from the reports on my desk.“He says he wants to apologize.” Owen informed me.Viktor wants to apologize? That's interesting! For a moment, I didn't say a word.Everly was on the couch, reading a book on pregnancy. She looked up suddenly. “Maybe you should hear him out.”I scoffed. “You think he’s changed?”“I think he has nothing left to lose,” she said simply.That was true.Viktor had lost his pack, his status, his

    CHAPTER 152: THE SCHEMER’S LAST TRICKKAELAN:Evan had organised an after party but Kaelan and I didn't bother to attend. We have duties to perform and I needed to leave before my pregnancy hormones start acting up.Kaelan drove us back to Crescent Moon and as soon as we saw Owen, standing by the gate, looking grim, I knew something was up.Kaelan pulled to a halt and whined down the glass. “Is there a problem?”.Owen sighed as he scratched his head. “It’s Viktor. He’s throwing a fit in the dungeon.”I frowned. Viktor? We had almost forgotten that he existed. He had withdrawn to his shell after he lost all his ten fingers.Kaelan also frowned. “And I'm supposed to be bothered about that?”“Alpha, Viktor has been making a fuse all day,” Owen reported, looking annoyed. “Everyone is fed up with his tantrum.”Kaelan stepped down from the car, crossed his arms and leaned on the car. I stepped down too but I didn't go to him. I was tired and wanted to go upstairs. The way I rubbed my stoma
