After Azalea gave her Alpha title to her fiancée, the Beta, he betrayed her by impregnating her sister. He broke their bond and chose Azalea’s sister as his Luna. It was the most painful and horrible experience for Azalea. And as if that wasn’t enough, Azalea was forced to replace her sister, who was supposed to marry the ruthless Lycan prince, Federico, by tradition. Both of them didn’t want the union, so they agreed on a contract marriage. The deal was to be discontinued after Federico got his heir from her, but things didn’t play out as easily as they’d bargained.

The scenery transformed significantly from the familiar forests of her homeland to the immense, daunting buildings that now encircled her. Looking out of the window, she was filled with thoughts about what was waiting for her. It was rumored that the lifestyle in this realm was distinct - more rigid, and severe. She pondered what part she would play in this situation, aside from being Federico's wife. Could she expect to receive respect? Is it simply viewed as yet another device for the kingdom to profit from?The carriage slowly stopped, causing Azalea's heart to race. She inhaled deeply, preparing herself for what was about to happen. One of the guards opened the door, and she emerged gracefully, attempting to conceal the anxiety that seized her.The courtyard was filled with people, including members of Federico's group and individuals who appeared to b
Chapter 18Azalea moved with several emotions in her mind while she trailed behind the guards and elders towards the car that was waiting, with a jumble of conflicting thoughts in her mind, the elders of the Red Moon Pack were friendly, and the guards showed respect, but none of it eased the turmoil she felt. A combination of fear, anger, and anticipation of the unfamiliar tightened in her chest.Taking her place in the back seat of the car, Mrs. Allysa, who had stayed mostly silent during their previous talks, smiled warmly at her. "Dear, you should feel honored," Mrs. Allysa started, her voice gentle with a touch of pride. Marrying the oldest prince is a wonderful honor. In the past, I was presented as a present to the monarch. It is a custom, one that enhances the connection among packs.Azalea hardly noticed her, her gaze locked onto the path ahead. She couldn't shake off the echoes of "gift" and "tradition", leaving a bitter taste in her mouth. She was not considered a present. S
Chapter 17Azalea knew it was time for her to go down and face the life Mack and Ophelia had chosen for her; she regretted all her past events right from crowning Mark the alpha of the pack and not standing up for herself when Ophelia spoke to her without respect.Now as she thought about it she wished she had done something to change her fate and to change the way things were happening now but nothing could be done. Not anymore.Two maids walked into her bedroom with a smile on their faces and she rolled her eyes mentally.Azalea stood at the top of the magnificent staircase, feeling her heart race as she gazed down at the spectacle unfolding below. Ophelia and Mack were by the entrance, showing respect by bowing to Federico's pack members. Seeing the two of them together, smiling and being friendly, caused her anger to rise. Her claws' sharp edges trembled, her fingers moving involuntarily, as her inner wolf became agitated. However, she couldn't allow that to occur at this moment,
Chapter 16Federico remained in his quarters, his eyes fixed as he looked out the window, observing the sun rising higher in the sky. He had become used to the weight of his duties as the upcoming ruler, but that didn't mean he had to enjoy it. Thoughts of his impending marriage, responsibilities, and family tensions filled his mind, clouding his thoughts. The sudden rap at the door interrupted his train of thought."Enter," he invited, his voice crisp.Jones bowing, entered the room with his trusted advisor. "Your Majesty, did you ask for a status report on the princess?"Federico gave a confirming gesture, his jaw tightly closed. "Did my dad send agents to check on her?" He spoke in a curt tone, showing his annoyance with the whole situation.Jones remained still, his expression showing no emotion. "Yes, Your Majesty. The monarch dispatched a small number of reliable scouts to investigate the princess's history and her present condition. All appears to be in place for the wedding to
Chapter 15Soft beams were cast across the walls in Azalea's room as the morning light filtered through the large windows. Lying in bed, she gazed at the ceiling, absorbed in thoughts about what lay ahead for her. The manor was suddenly filled with the reverberating sound of loud, joyous music coming from outside. She became rigid, understanding immediately the implication. Federico's bundle had been delivered.Azalea abruptly sat up, her muscles tight, and cast the blankets aside. The beat of her heart quickened in her chest, and she sensed the usual surge of anxiety starting to rise within her. Today was the long-awaited day, the one she had been anxious about for weeks. The way she lived was going to be forever altered. With hardly any time to collect her thoughts, she saw the door to her room slowly open, and two maids entered with their heads down in deference."Miss Azalea, good morning," greeted one of the maids with a soft tone, exhibiting formality in her voice.Azalea gave a
Chapter 14Federico faced the tall, intricate doors to his father's chamber, his expression indifferent yet his mind in a whirlwind. He was aware of what was waiting for him behind the door - his father and probably his brothers. It was impossible to avoid. Inhaling deeply, he pushed open the door and walked into the room.Predictably, Leandro and Thomas, his siblings, were already present beside their father, King Marcos. The room remained magnificent, with tall columns and walls decorated with luxurious tapestries, yet the mood was uneasy. Upon his arrival, Federico quickly spotted the annoyance visible on his brothers' faces, with their eyes narrowing in response. He couldn't care less, despite their clear resentment.King Marcos was seated in his tall chair, looking intently at Federico as he entered the room. His father appeared calm, yet there was an indiscernible heaviness in his eyes, casting a somber atmosphere over the room."Federico," his father started, speaking with a st
Chapter 13Ophelia's smile reappeared in the peaceful corridor outside. She walked slowly and carefully down the corridor, her heels making a soft echo on the stone floor. All the pieces were coming together perfectly. Azalea had to endure pain to solidify her place in the family, and before long, her sister would be gone from her life forever.While walking, she pondered about the upcoming wedding. There was just a matter of time left before everything was sorted out, and Azalea would have to accept her new duty as Prince Federico's wife. The marriage would strengthen alliances, and with Azalea out of the picture, Ophelia could move forward with her plans without her sister always hovering nearby.There was a lot of hustle and bustle in the palace as servants and courtiers got ready for the big ceremony. Ophelia enjoyed observing them labor, aware that soon she would have everything she desired at her fingertips.However, a sense of unease lingered in her thoughts, challenging her to
Chapter 12Azalea angrily returned to her room, breathing heavily, with her hands tightly balled at her sides. Although her crying had ceased, the pain in her chest persisted, throbbing in sync with her heartbeat. The betrayal by her sister, the person who should have supported her, hurt more than any physical injury. How did everything fall apart so quickly?She walked back and forth in her room, her fast and uneven steps matching the storm of thoughts in her mind. Once, she had imagined discovering her soulmate, experiencing love, and finding something genuine. However, everything had now been taken abruptly. She was not given a choice and was treated like a mere piece in a political scheme, a marriage intended to benefit others rather than herself.The door quietly opened with a creak, and a hesitant maid entered, her eyes slightly widening as she observed Azalea's restless pacing."Is that Lady Azalea?" the maid inquired, her voice gentle and slightly unsure as she noted the tense
Chapter 11Federico walked briskly through the thick forest, his mind racing, feeling frustrated like a relentless itch he couldn't relieve. He felt the cool night air on his skin, with only the distant chirping of crickets disturbing the silence. However, he quickly acknowledged that he was not by himself."Without looking, he said 'Maya,' anticipating her arrival before she even spoke. Her quiet, shadow-like movements always caught his attention.Moving ahead, she came out from behind the trees. Maya, the daughter of the king's most trusted advisor, tended to show up when Federico was most cautious. Her black hair flowed over her shoulders, and her eyes, consistently gentle when gazing at him, expressed a blend of worry and another emotion."Did you anticipate my arrival?" she inquired, her voice tinged with sadness but accompanied by a small smile. "I've never been good at being sneaky."Federico eventually shifted his gaze towards her, its intensity softening a bit as he looked at
