ADESSA: I should have known better that nothing good lasts forever. Especially for someone like me—a lowly, orphaned Omega. The last year has been so perfect that I thought I had finally found my place in this world, right in the arms of my mate, Alpha Kael. Kael chose me to be his Luna out of revenge to the female who broke his heart. His reasons didn't matter to me. And though I knew he could never love me the same way he loved Desiree, I have nothing to complain about. Kael was the ideal mate—the perfect Alpha. I was lucky to be his. I was so immersed in the bubbles of my perfect world that I forgot he was never mine in the first place. When tragedy struck, and he awoke with no memory of us, I found myself alone in the shambles of my dreams, witnessing the man I loved walk away with the woman who had broken him. In the blink of an eye, I was back in the same place I was before I met him. KAEL: My life has always been perfect. I am the Alpha of one of the strongest packs on this side of the country and betrothed to the woman who will be the perfect Luna to stand beside me. So when I woke up with no memory of the last two years of my life, married to a woman I had never met and couldn't remember, I began to question everything around me. I wanted nothing to do with her. She is not the Luna I envisioned to end up with. ¤¤¤¤¤ THIS IS A STANDALONE NOVEL AND NOT CONNECTED TO MY PREVIOUS BOOKS/SERIES. Follow me on my socials for updates and teasers — author.cassa.m.
ดูเพิ่มเติมKAEL.Fuck! Fuck!There were more clues, for sure, not just the one given by Adessa.They were still outside, and I could see them taking off their boxers or briefs. Some already had nothing under their pants. From the expression on their faces, I knew they were celebrating because I was still fucking fully clothed. Only my Beta bore a different expression—he looked defeated, just as I felt. But there was no time to feel sorry. I tried to raise the window beside me, but it was locked. My gaze went to the driver, and I saw his window was open. I hastily grabbed my shoes off my feet and slipped my hand between our seats, throwing my shoes outside.“Hey, you can’t do that!” The driver snarled at me, and I just raised my hands up in surrender as I sat back. He abruptly nodded his head, like he was apologizing, and dropped his gaze. He probably realized I ranked higher than him. I breathed heavily as I waited for someone to throw my shoes back in, but it looked like no one from the out
DANIELLE.I was helping them dress up Princess Adessa for the first night of the game, but I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t stop thinking about the prince. Prince Esriel left the breakfast hall and only returned when the princess was done eating, just to pick her up. He didn’t even glance at me and was nowhere during dinner. Earlier, before we headed to the breakfast manor, while the guards were helping the princess into the car, he whispered to me that he would not sit with my lady and Alpha Kael and that we could eat together. I didn’t reply as he had moved away before I could say anything, but I didn’t object, so I was baffled when he left the dining hall and didn’t come back.I was glad Beta Landon was there, so I didn’t have to eat alone. Not that eating alone was ever a problem, but I did hope Esriel would join me, so it would have been more devastating if I had expected that and ended up being alone. “Someone’s at the door.” Miss Mariel said, and it snapped me back to the present
KAEL.“Look who’s back?” Alpha Randolf exclaimed the moment we entered the main receiving room of our home manor. We just came back from breakfast, and since I heard movements in this area, I nudged Landon to head this way. I nodded at them and inserted my hands into my pockets. “Why are you all gathered here? Are we being summoned?” I asked, my eyes shifting to everyone. “The first clue was given while you were away.” Prince Vaidas spoke without glancing at me. He was busy carefully running his thumb along the edge of his dagger.“And what is it?” I asked. I didn’t like this. Why was it given while I was away?“Why would I tell you?” Alpha Randolf scoffed, then glanced at the others who were looking at us. “Or I should say, why would we tell you? While you ate breakfast looking at the beautiful princess, we ate looking at each other’s fucking face. Not an appetizing sight. So I guess it’s only fair you go blindly to the first task.”Most of them chuckled at his words, and those wh
ADESSA.“Can you move his chair to my right?” I asked. “My lady, the instruction was to have both of you sit at the ends of the table.” The main server, a soft-spoken older man, replied.“I understand that. But I am also instructing you to move his chair nearer. I cannot, for the life of me, speak loudly. I don’t want to shout just to keep a conversation going.” I smiled bashfully at him. “Yes, of course, my lady.” He then instructed his companion to comply. I was glad he didn’t question my request anymore. Kael smiled broadly as he took his seat on the right side of the table, and soon, they proceeded to serve us. I glanced at Danielle and saw her sitting at a round table with Landon. My brother was nowhere in sight.“Where is Prince Esriel?” I asked the main server. “He stepped out, but he left four guards by the door and instructed them that no one is allowed to go in and out, including you, my lady.”“I see…” I didn’t ask anymore. Once they left us. Kael reached for my hand, a
ADESSA.Kael and his Beta were already waiting for us when we arrived at the Spring Manor. I didn’t know Landon would be joining, but he was the least of my worries. “You need to control that smile on your face,” Esriel told me as he guided my arm to wrap around his before patting my hand. We followed the host toward the dining hall while Danielle trailed behind us. “Everyone here could tell you’re more excited than the participant.”“But I am,” I said giddily.“You need to learn to act with no emotions. Not too happy, not too sad. Just enough.” He whispered, and I playfully rolled my eyes. We passed by the line of servers, and there was only a female with them. The moment she bowed down and curtsied before me, I smiled at her and acknowledged her cheerfully,“I like your hair.”She was caught off guard, and a red tint crept into her cheeks before she smiled widely at me. “Thank you, Princess Adessa.” She mumbled in reply.“You are indeed a stubborn one,” Esriel said, chuckling soft
ADESSA.“Alpha Kael won tonight,” Esmaeel said in a flat tone.A gasp left my throat as I jolted, excitement coursing through my whole body, knowing I would get a moment with him.The King grabbed the paper from the butler with a dark expression. After he returned the paper, he dismissed him and the other servers. He then guided me away, almost to the door, and I could see my brothers and sisters-in-law looking at us.“Now, tell me, Adessa, that Kael has lost his memory? That he couldn’t remember you.” His voice was accusatory. I would have ignored it because the important thing was Kael won. But a part of me didn’t want the others to think Kael was just putting on a show, so I didn’t stop myself from replying, especially since no one else was inside this room except our family. “I’m sure Kael didn’t remember this. But his Beta does. He has a great second in command, Father. He was very attentive to his Alpha and Luna. So if you think Kael is the only problem for Prince Vaidas, whom
KAEL.Watching Adessa take Prince Vaidas’ drink was painful, but seeing her choose all other drinks but not mine after his, was even more torturous. The one I made didn’t even catch her eye. She chose the Mango Daiquiris after the Prince, and it was only then that I regretted using it as a decoy.What if when I was still in agony over losing Desiree, I had made her that drink and she ended up loving it? Then I just pushed her into Draco’s arms. If this were the case, I prayed to Selene that she would pick the other one who prepared the same drink. Any others would be better than Draco.I couldn’t focus anymore. She was smiling and talking with her brothers about whatever drinks she had in her hands, which made the waiting even longer.After what felt like an eternity, she finally picked up my drink—third to the last. Like the others, she turned to face us and raised the glass in our direction. There was nothing special in her eyes, unlike when she raised the first three cocktails an
KAEL.I moved on to the green drink—the one for Adessa. Like the first two, I just let my hands move on their own while praying to Selene that I would not lose my concentration and momentum. I didn’t care anymore if someone was watching me. I hoped the first two drinks would be enough to confuse them if I actually knew what Adessa’s favorite drink was. Gratefully, my hands kept moving as if they knew what they were doing. My mind was telling me different measurements, but it seemed my hands knew and had their own calculations on how I should prepare and handle this drink. Also, I initially thought I would use a martini glass for it, but I subconsciously picked up the coupe one. I strained the mixed drink from the shaker and poured it into the glass. There were three cocktail drinks in front of me, and Landon was beaming as if we had already won. I was leaning on the counter, my fingers tapping on the marbled top, as I stared at what I had prepared before my eyes caught sight of a
KAEL.“A simple game of chance…” I murmured, repeating the words of the host.I listened as the task was given, and even after we were asked to begin, I remained in my place, staring at the counter in front of me. The challenge was to fix a cocktail drink for the princess, and whoever owned the drink she chose would get a chance to have breakfast with her. Simple as fuck, right? Well, it wasn’t. Because I had no fucking idea which drinks she liked. “How the fuck will we win this when her ex-husband is here? He obviously knows what she wants!” Alpha Randolf blurted it out, and I could hear the others agreeing. “Instead of complaining about something you cannot change, why don’t you move forward and do the task given and give it your best shot?” Prince Vaidas spoke with a calm demeanor before he walked over to the main bar, followed by his second in command.“At least there’s one person in here who still has the right frame of mind,” Landon said in a hushed tone.I had no idea if I

The last year has been so perfect that I thought I had finally found my place in this world—right in the arms of my mate, Alpha Kael. Fated mates are a rarity, and for a wolfless Omega like me, the chances are, I would never find my fated mate. Without a mate destined for me, I thought I was bound to walk this earth alone. Because I was sure no one would take a chance on me.But then I met Alpha Kael, and on that same day, he offered me a contract to be his Luna—to save his pride and his name from the betrayal of his fiancee, Desiree.I had just turned eighteen and was legally allowed to marry while the Alpha was already twenty-seven years old. Everyone around him was pushing him to settle down.
