Two months Later.
It's been two months, two freaking fucking months! I sighed as I sat on my chair with my head hung up staring at the ceiling.
Miller is dead.
I couldn't help but tear up just thinking about it, he was found dead in his apartment unfortunately it was murder but no one knew who did it. We tried all possible ways to find the killer but we couldn't, no traces, just nothing.
Things were just going south, in just two months my life started falling apart. Mack, on the other hand, became different immediately after he was crowned. A few days after the ceremony he changed towards me. He stopped caring, stopped sleeping in the same room with and on top of that, he still hasn't marked me or made me his Luna. Each day I've asked him countless times and he just ignored my question saying 'he is busy?'
I tried hard to remain possible but I couldn't. Ever since Miller died I felt so alone and lost, I can't even confide in Ophelia. She is my twin but she is also like a stranger, everything feels so lost.
Maybe Miller was right, maybe I made a mistake. Or maybe Mack is too busy dealing with Alpha things and I'm here overthinking. Ophelia also has a lot on her plate too. In a few days, she would be meeting with the Lycan Prince. My head is cramped with different thoughts, opinions, questions, and answers. But which one do I follow? Which one is true? The negative thoughts? Or the positive ones?
I heard someone knock on my door but I ignored it, I heard another again so I answered. "Who is it?"
"It's me Princess Azalea, Alpha Mack requests to see you in his office now."
Princess? It should be Luna Goddamn it!
"Okay, I'll be there."
I got up from my chair, showered, and changed into something light and simple. I left my room and headed for his office. When I got there I saw him and the elders discussing, they stopped when they noticed me.
"Good morning, Princess-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I yelled at the elders. "Who the fuck is princess ugh? It should be Luna for fucks sake."
"Will you calm down!" Mack roared, he stood up and walked towards me. "What are you screaming about?"
"What do you mean Mack? For how long sill you push me aside and toss me around."
He sighed and smiled. "Azalea, honey, look I've been busy okay? I'll do the needful but now is not the time."
"Busy? With what exactly? And when is the right time? When I'm old and grey? You must perform so fucking do it! Marry me and make me your Luna! Fucking mark me! I'm your fiancee for fucks sake."
"Look," he placed his hand on my shoulder. "Like I said, I will do the needful when the time is right, I have things to handle right now. "
"Like what?" I asked him as I folded my arms.
"Alpha things to do, I'm sure you wouldn't understand." He smiled innocently like he didn't just rub shit in my face. "Well anyway I called you to let you know that, we still haven't found any update on Miller's case, it's been one month now. I suggest we drop it. "
I couldn't believe my ears, I threw my head back in laughter. "Drop it? Are you fucking kidding me, Mack? DROP IT?! MILLER WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD!"
"Look Azalea, I understand you're in pain and I am too, he was a good man. But nothing was found, no break-in, nothing. The maids and guards who lived with him said they saw no one. From what I could gather, it's suicide. "
"Miller would never commit suicide, Mack. He wouldn't! He was tough on the outside but he was a very nice and caring man! Why would he?"
Mack sighed and called Elder Simon over, as he started walking closer toward us, I noticed that he held a tiny bag, he handed it to Mack who opened the bag and I gasped at what I saw. Drugs, sleeping tablets.
"This was found under Miller's bed. He was addicted to taking them, the doctors also found antidepressants in his system during the autopsy. I know it's hard to believe Azalea, but this can only explain it."
I shook my head in disbelief. "Miller was like a father to me, if something was wrong he would tell me. I can't believe this."
"Sometimes parents hide their deepest secrets from their children to save them, I suppose he didn't want you to worry. It was a gun that killed him, it was a knife and he slit his wrist with it. You saw his body with your own eyes. It's hard to accept but I'm sorry."
I looked at him in the eyes and for some reason, I believed him. His eyes looked sincere and filled with pain and regret.
"Can I hug you?" I blurted out.
"Of course." He hugged me and pecked my forehead. "I'm sorry Azalea, I'll make things right and put things where they finally belong. Just give me time."
"Okay, I love you."
"Hmhm, love you too." He pecked my lips lightly. "You can go rest now, I'll meet you later, okay?"
"Okay."
10 PM
I woke up again for the fifth time today, and still, Mack wasn't there, I sighed in defeat as I stood up from my bed.
"I need a walk." I wore a hoodie and left my room, I got outside of the palace and sat at the back staring at the sky.
"I miss you Miller, but why? Why did you hurt yourself?" I had so many questions but I couldn't bring myself to ask him, he wasn't even here to answer them.
As I was lost in thoughts, I heard some voices from the window, I wanted to ignore but the voices sounded familiar so I tiptoed until my ears could reach where I would be able to make out what they were saying.
"Ophelia, we have to act fast." I heard a male voice say and my heart almost sank because I knew that voice even in my sleep. Mack, what was he talking about? I pressed my ears against the window to listen and hear properly.
"Well, what do you want to do?" The second voice was my sister's
Wait, Ophelia and Mack? What were they discussing? Did they have a plan? Was something wrong? Why won't he involve me? I knew she was way stronger but I felt betrayed. Is a war going on? I know I shouldn't feel jealous but I can't help it! As I was lost in my thoughts, I paid no attention to what they were saying until I heard something that shocked me.
"After all I'm pregnant and it's yours."
No freaking WAY. My mouth fell wide open. "It can't be... “

Chapter 6I felt my body go numb as if my veins were filled with ice. *Pregnant?* My sister, pregnant... carrying Mack's baby? It seemed too good to be true. Perhaps I had misunderstood. Perhaps my thoughts were deceiving me.However, I was aware of the truth deep inside. I heard it. Every word.The pain struck me with the force of a blow to the stomach, leaving me breathless. What possible reasons could have led them to do this? What could have driven *him* to do such a thing?I couldn't remain in that spot anymore. The burden of what I had heard was overwhelming. I spun around and clumsily made my way back to my room, feeling my heart beating rapidly in my chest. My mind was filled with swirling questions, each one more painful than the previous one. What is the reason? How could Mack betray me in such a way? And with Ophelia, of all individuals?I fell onto my bed and buried my face in the pillow, feeling as if the walls of my room were closing in on me. Tears clouded my sight, yet

Chapter 7 Ophelia remained in the poorly lit room, running her fingers along the boundaries of the spellbook placed on the table in front of her. She possessed a peaceful and sharp mind. She had completed the necessary tasks, but now she must guarantee that everything went as planned. There was one final move left to do—and she would require Mack's assistance to achieve it.Mack stepped into the room, feeling the noticeable tension between them following their recent discussion with Azalea. Closing the door softly, he looked at Ophelia's face searching for any emotion. However, as per usual, she was impossible to interpret."What is the reason for summoning me?" Mack inquired quietly. Since Azalea's confrontation, he had hardly gotten any sleep. He felt guilty, but he couldn't allow himself to lose focus at this moment. Not while there was so much on the line.Ophelia kept her gaze downward. "We must discuss Azalea."At the mention of her name, he became rigid. "How about her?"Ophel

Chapter EightFederico walked back and forth in his study, his keen eyes scanning the large room, which was softly lit by the flickering fireplace. He mulled over the recent news he had gotten from Mack's group - a proposal of marriage. Addressing *Azalea.*"Incredible," muttered Federico through gritted teeth, his fists tightly clenched. After years of hard work, he had built up his empire and gained the admiration and intimidation of both Lycans and wolves. Getting married was the least of his concerns, especially to a woman whose family had nothing to bring to the table besides the diminishing status of an old lineage.The large man named Gabe, his most trusted ally, entered through the creaking door. Having been by Federico's side during numerous battles and shady negotiations, Gabe understood the Prince better than anyone else."O Great One," Gabe started, speaking with a quiet and deferential tone. Mack's message was received earlier today. "They're advocating for the marriage p

Chapter Nine Azalea remained seated near the window, gazing at the moonlit forest outside of the pack house. The night was eerily silent, yet her thoughts were far from calm. Recollections of her past vibrant existence replayed continuously, teasing her. Her dreams were once filled with visions of a future where she would find a loving partner, a soulmate who would value her and see her true self, beyond the complexities of family dynamics.However, destiny had different intentions.Her life fell apart like sand slipping through her hand. She lost everything due to a single mistake, a moment of anger and arrogance. Reflecting on the time before the betrayal, she remembered a world brimming with hope. She had always been a little bit of a dreamer, eagerly waiting for her soulmate to show up soon. Azalea had frequently envisioned the instant she would make eye contact with him - her genuine match - and experience the attraction, the connection that linked them. It was the solitary comm

Chapter 10Federico walked confidently through the impressive corridors of his father's palace, with the tall columns and shiny marble floors mirroring his movements. The smell of new polish lingered in the atmosphere, blending with the subtle floral scent coming from the garden in the courtyard. But none of that was important to him. The grandeur of the palace, the symbols of monarchy and authority, seemed empty. He had visited this place so often that he was no longer impressed by it.He gritted his teeth while walking past the portraits of his predecessors, each with a stern look of power as if the burden of royalty had taken away any happiness they once had. It seemed like a caution, a hint of the consequences if he allowed his father to get his way.He was heading towards the throne room, where his father, the Lycan King, was waiting. Federico was aware of what this visit would involve. There would be no courtesies, no friendliness. Purely cold analysis and predictions, as usual.

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

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
THE LYCAN KING'S CONTRACT LUNA chapter 13
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

Alpha Federico I paced around in my study room and I couldn’t stop reminiscing on what Isabelle said, I didn’t want any of that to happen, Azalea mate can’t come back…he can’t claim what already belongs to me.If only she could just suddenly feel her inner wolf and get pulled to her mate, then I could use that as a chance to kill her mate but it’s fucking locked!!I angrily threw the cup in my hand to the wall and shattered into pieces and I couldn’t help but yell in anger.“She is mine!!!!” I yelled as my hand couldn’t even stay in one place and I didn’t know when I had gone for something else and threw everything around just when I was going for the vases when the door opened and Lucy walked in.“Alpha Federico !!” She exclaimed while staring around in surprise at how I had just ruined my study room, I still couldn’t stop myself from shouting out loud.Lucy noticed more things were about to get destroyed by me and rushed up to me, pulling me in for a tight hug.“Stop it, Alpha Fede

Azalea’s povAfter Isabelle walked away, I turned my attention to Luther who was still angry, “What did she mean by I tried to steal Kade from her and I am going to have to fight her for Alpha Federico’s attention?” I said to Luther who was silent.I moved closer to Luther but he stepped back. “The palace is in a Cold War and you are the main character,” Luther said, still avoiding my gaze, I knew he wasn’t telling me all and I didn’t want to force him as I didn’t want to ruin the mood we had already begun with.“You don’t have to explain it to me anymore, I already know the kind of person Isabelle is so you don’t have to even tell me anything,” I muttered before walking up to him with my hands widely opened, and that, he hugged me tightly but it didn’t last for long as he pulled away.“I wouldn’t want my father to find us here, it won’t be a good boast if Isabelle sees Alpha Federico locking you up, you know how crazy my father can be,” Luther said before grabbing my hands and taking

Luther’s povI couldn’t believe I had just almost spilled the only secret I had, how could I have been so dumb to think of telling Kade I was Azalea’s real second chance mate, But keeping it a secret was also really tiring and I could only hope that things would change from now on because I wasn’t going to for any reason give up on Azalea, I would fight my father to the end just to make her mine again and I knew just where to begin.I walked into the garden and Azalea was alone there reading her novels as usual while I stood still and quietly watched her as she seemed to be smiling to herself.“You must really love the novel?” I questioned before taking a seat beside her.I stared at her from head to toe and I couldn’t help but be more determined, she belonged to me yet my father deflowered her but I couldn’t say anything. All I did was feel jealous over something that belonged to me but I couldn’t do anything.He continued to maltreat and beat up my own mate as if she belonged to hi

How dare you claim her just because her mate isn’t acknowledging her yet.” He muttered but that made me chuckle even more as I moved closer to him.“Do you know who my mate is? Do you know where he is now or why he abandoned her?” I whispered to him and I could see him flinch a little like he had something to say.His grip on me slowly released and before I knew it he pushed me away angrily.“You all are so wicked, now I know why Azalea doesn’t

Alpha KadeI knew that Isabelle was always right to me but something about the way Azalea sis felt these things made me doubt my feelings for Isabelle. Did I really love her back then or did I only do it for power? And now I still didn’t have the power I had yearned so badly for. Alpha Rozan also played a trick on me and only gave Isabelle to me just to secure more names amongst the packs of Alphas.But looking at Azalea I had so much regret. “Why do you continue to say she stole me from you Azalea when we never belonged to each other to begin with?” I questioned,“You were my mate first but you never listened to me, you neglected me and because of you, my wolf is weak and unable to identify my second mate!!! all because of you!!” She yelled before sitting back angrily.“So you were the reason why her inner wolf was locked? Stopping her from finding her mate.” Luther said and looking back at him and then back at Azalea I could see the rage in his eyes, something was wrong somewhere.

Azalea’s pov“How else would you be able to find my mate mostly in this situation where my inner wolf is very weak,” I said to Lady Rosa who smiled before taking my hand in hers and we walked towards my chamber and when she was sure no one followed us, she locked the door and sat me down on the bed.“You have always been so ignorant about your inner wolf and the more you neglect and forget about her the weaker she becomes.” Lady Rosa said to me very silently and I realized what she meant.“So all I have to do now is train my inner wolf or what?” I questioned.“More like that, you have to train her and prepare her for whatever is coming, if you are ready enough we will be able to pull her out just enough for you to find your second chance mate.”“But I don’t want to find him, lady Rosa.” I stuttered, I already have Alpha Federico and even though I have to hate him with seven other women I was still content and didn’t need a man who couldn’t search for me.“That can’t be, have you ever

Azalea pov I turned back to Kade who chuckled loudly, “are you scared?” he muttered but I still stood straight trying to act like the words didn't get to me.“Who said I would ever need my mate, as long as I have Alpha Federico as a mate means nothing to me,” I said boldly trying my best to hide the drought in me.“You are something, you are a witch that Isabelle calls you,” Kade muttered,“What can my mate provide for me that Alpha Federico hasn't given me, even if I meet my mate at this hour I still won't care so there you have it,” I exclaimed before turning around only to see Luther standing there in utter shock as it seemed my words had gotten to him and he was being very sad about it.“Luther,” I called out softly but instead he matched up to me angrily as he held me tightly with my hands.“How can you be that cruel!!? How can you reject your mate even before meeting him!!” Luther yelled but his grip on me hurt even more than the words he uttered.“Why couldn't he find me when

Azalea’s povI woke up the next morning to see Lady Rosa standing in front of me with a towel and other maids in her back.“Good Morning my queen.” Lady Rosa and in fright, I stood and made sure to clean my eyes more than once just to be sure that nothing was wrong with me and neither was I seeing double.“Why are you all here? I told you I could take care of myself and Lady Rosa. Why are you even here, do you want to threaten more on how to do things?!!” I yelled but Lady Rosa still stood a bit calm.“We apologize and would like to still take perfect care of you.” Lady Rosa said not even sparing me a glance.“Huh, you apologize? Do you know I can sack you at this rate and with the kind of authority I have!” I said to Lady Rosa who immediately fell to her knees throwing the towel to the ground and putting her hands together to plead with me.“I am truly sorry my Luna, I shouldn’t have acted the way I did to you so please forgive me.” Lady Rosa said and that confused me even more beca

Isabelle povI turned my full attention to Lucy who still seemed bold despite all that I just said and I knew immediately that she had heard something and that’s why she was here.“Aren’t you scared? Are you not scared of what she can do to your family or should I say to your whole pack when she is a fully fledged Luna?” Lucy whispered to me as she continued her pace towards me with the same blunt smirk she had from earlier in the throne room.“She cannot do anything because she is only the queen of this pack and not mine,” I said to Lucy who chuckled loudly.“She can do so many things and that includes things you don’t expect.” Lucy continued and that made me confused as I kept quiet and silently waited for her to say all the things she had to say before I started claiming Azalea couldn’t do anything to me because at this rate I also don’t know what she can do to me.“Alpha Federico has initiated for a while thousands of bloodthirsty werewolf armies to be under Azalea’s command and w
