Chapter 18

Azalea 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 19Azalea remained seated in the car while it slowly made its way toward the imposing gates of the Red Moon Pack's domain. 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 20Azalea remained motionless, scanning the grand hall with her eyes. The ceremony had ended, and now she was standing beside the man who had just become her husband. Federico's name. The name by itself held a significance that caught her off guard. She still sensed the warmth of the gazes from those who had seen their marriage, the murmurs that trailed her like a chilly wind. However, right now, standing in such proximity to him, everything seemed dulled.Federico stood next to her, his eyes far away, his face icy and mysterious. He had remained silent towards her since their vows were exchanged, and now, as the formalities carried on, it appeared that he was happy to maintain the silence.Azalea sensed a tight feeling in her stomach. Her wedding day did not go as she had envisioned, nor did meeting her future spouse. However, she had not anticipated kindness from a man such as Federico. She had heard about his cruelty and goals long before she got to his realm. However, spec

    Chapter 21Federico relaxed in his seat, a slight grin of contentment appearing on his face. He finally had the crown of power within reach. For years, he had planned, and engaged in political maneuvers, and now everything was falling into place. His ambitions had been burdensome before, but today they felt easier to carry. Triumph was close.Gabe and Jake sat in their seats across from him, enjoying their drinks. Both had served as his loyal companions, aiding him in maneuvering the dangerous realm of the kingdom's political landscape. Having witnessed his ascent, they also reveled in his contentment.Gabe congratulated Federico as he swirled his glass. "The crown is almost in your possession. King Marcos won't endure much more, and you will assume his position.Federico's smile grew a little wider. "It's just a waiting game now." After the formal procedures are done, the actual job starts.Jake tilted his body, his eyes shining. "And after acquiring the crown, we can address those w

    Chapter 22As darkness descended, Azalea perched on the edge of the grand bed, absentmindedly running her fingers through her hair while her new maid, Vick, delicately undid the complex buttons of her bridal gown. The day's heaviness burdened her shoulders, and despite the luxurious setting fit for a queen, she still felt completely confined."Here you go, madam," Vick whispered gently, moving away as the final button was unfastened, causing the dress to slide down Azalea's arms. "You are now liberated from it."Azalea gave Vick a tired but appreciative nod and smile. She was still unfamiliar with being spoken to so formally, but she guessed it was something she would have to become accustomed to. She had not fully accepted the reality of her new life yet, and as she looked at her reflection in the mirror—now wearing just a plain nightgown—she pondered about what her future held. How would her life unfold in this unfamiliar realm? She had been informed about the significant difference

    Chapter 23Azalea says still, watching the birds flying outside as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains. Her body was stiff from the strange way she had woken up in Federico's arms. It was a shock, to say the least. She could still feel the weight of his hands from when he had pulled her closer, even though, as soon as he’d woken, he had thrown her off like she was nothing.The coldness in his eyes, the disdain in his voice when he reminded her that they were married under a contract and nothing more—it stung. She had felt humiliated, but she knew better than to show it. There was no point. This marriage wasn’t based on love or affection. It was purely transactional, and that reminder was clear in every interaction they had.The sudden knock at the door had pulled her out of her thoughts. She sat up, unsure of who could be visiting so early but the unfamiliar face did no justice. The door opened slowly, and a tall, graceful woman entered the room. Her eyes were sha

    Chapter 24The grand dining room of the palace was as imposing as it was beautiful. Long, ornate tables stretched across the room, filled with platters of fruit, bread, and fine meats. The air smelled of fresh herbs and spices, a testament to the royal kitchen’s excellence. Yet, despite the splendor, there was an underlying tension in the air that made Azalea’s stomach churn as she stepped into the room.Azalea entered with Vick, her steps hesitant but measured. She immediately noticed Federico and Maya at the far end of the room, standing together near the head of the table. They were deep in conversation, their heads closed as if nothing else in the room mattered. Azalea’s chest tightened at the sight, but she reminded herself of the nature of their marriage—this was a contract, not a love affair.As she moved closer, her eyes met Queen Selena’s sharp gaze. The queen sat at the center of the table, her regal posture commanding attention. The moment she saw Azalea enter alone, her br

    Chapter 25Azalea sat stiffly at the dining table, barely touching the food in front of her. She could feel the tension in the air, thick and suffocating, as conversation buzzed around her. Federico sat across from her, his attention completely absorbed by Maya, who seemed to be the only one capable of drawing any emotion out of him. Every laugh they shared, every fleeting glance, made Azalea feel more out of place, more unwanted in this royal family that didn’t seem to care about her.A tight knot formed in her chest, and she knew she couldn’t sit there any longer. She gently placed her fork down and stood up, causing a brief pause in the conversation around her.“I’m not feeling well,” Azalea said quietly, her voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions inside her. “I think I’ll go rest for a while.”Federico didn’t even glance her way. Maya shot her a curious look but quickly returned her attention to Federico as if Azalea’s presence was merely a passing thought. Queen Selena w

    Chapter 26Leandro stood before his mother in her private quarters, his arms folded across his chest, still fuming from the breakfast earlier. Queen Lucia paced slowly, her steps deliberate, her eyes cold as they considered their next move."You need to get closer to Azalea," Queen Lucia finally said, her voice measured. "Make sure she trusts you."Leandro's brows furrowed, his mouth twisting with distaste. "How do you expect me to do that? She barely knows any of us, and Federico is all over her. The girl is nervous around him."Queen Lucia stopped in her tracks and turned to face her son. "Exactly. She feels isolated and confused. If you play your cards right, she'll cling to anyone who shows her warmth." She gave Leandro a pointed look. "That's where you come in."Leandro sighed, his fingers tapping lightly against his arm as he mulled it over. "You think she'll open up to me? She probably doesn't trust anyone here.""She will if you approach her the right way," Queen Lucia said wi

I knew that I wouldn’t dare tell them that I had just stolen my own son's mate.“It’s nothing, I just remembered that I need to discuss something with Luther.” I lied before moving backward a little and then left the secret room and went back to the palace.I staggered slowly through the hallways as I was unable to believe what just happened…it began to make perfect sense to me, that was why Azalea wasn’t able to stay away from Luther even though my inner wolf was very weak.It was because of the pull which she kept feeling and that was what I had always thought was cheating.“I tried to separate them but I was just making the situation worse and their bond to keep getting close,” I muttered to myself as I staggered like a person who was drunk, I stopped again when I realized something.“How am I even sure that they haven’t slept with each other in secret already?” I asked myse

Susan walked towards me with a smirk as she became so close to me I could feel the harsh breath from her nose on my skin making me very uncomfortable.“I understand what you mean,” I said but I still didn’t understand what the secret was all about.“I know you think the secret is a minor something but I called you here just to let you know that I would make your life a living hell, I liked you back then as I always thought that you would favor us when you became the Luna but now we all paved way for you to be the queen and now Alpha Federico made you the queen even without a ceremony and you threw us all away,” Susan said with bitterness oozing out of her voice but I still stood cool as I knew deep within me that she was the one who took that photo but with the way, I saw things now I knew she couldn’t do anything… she just wanted attention and to be favored by alpha Federico she was not as determined as Lucy.I walked up to her

What good I possibly do to Isabelle that would make her regret ever being born into this world or even being in this pack?I don’t know why Alpha Federico can’t just chase them all away, at least Alpha Rozan left but why weren’t Isabelle and Kade leaving?Suddenly I remembered Kade and that made me angry with myself, I don’t know why I always remembered him. He rejected me and yet acted so emotionally with me,I stood up from the bed and wore my key favorite dress to stroll around and that’s when I searched around for my novel from the other day but couldn’t find it, “where could I have kept it?” I questioned myself and then I remembered the night of my intimacy with Luther, he had collected the book from me while he kissed me and took me to his room and that’s when I recalled seeing him drop it on the shelf in the hallways.I checked on Alpha Federico and he was still fast asleep,

Do you know what I passed through just to be with you!!” Isabelle yelled at me with a teary voice and even though I felt so much pity for her and tried to come close to her I rem

Well, think again!” I recalled,How dare she do something like that, how can she say I was trying to steal what was hers ... .Alpha Federico didn’t even belong to her and still, she was in love with Luther.“I can’t take this, for goodness sake she almost killed me there and Alpha Federico couldn’t even stop her,” I muttered to myself before taking my seat and angrily starting at all the injuries in my body, I can’t believe I would need to hide my body due to how badly she treated me.I looked at my phone on the floor and I was slowly tearing up and unexpectedly the tears slid down my cheeks.“I should call Father,” I muttered and rushed to my phone as I tried turning
