When is the next full moon?" I asked, my fingers brushed over the counter top.

Xerces was slicing up some carrots for some kind of soup he's making. He pursed his lips while he concentrated on not chopping his fingers up.

"In a few weeks. Why?" He scraped the carrot into the pot and turned to look at me. I poke my bottom lip out and shrug my shoulders.

"I just uhm not wanting to have a heat again. And especially when you’re that strong. You know, wolf thing," I tried to explain without embarrassing myself.

Xerxes raised an eyebrow at my shyness.

"It only really hurts when you're still unmated,” he said. I felt his eyes on my body before they ripped away from me completely. "But you won't have to worry about that,” Xerces added, stirring the pot.

"Why?" I asked. I've already confused myself. I took a seat at the nearest barstool and spun around to ease the awkwardness.

"Trust me when I say I have a strong self-restraint. Yeah?" His back is to me but I could almost feel that he

    Zehra didn't want to come there and live with people she had never met. And she didn't want to live with Cade either at all. The horse halted, and she sucked in a breath for a second; there was no noise until trumpets blew, and everyone gathered to welcome their King and his new mate. The entire palace was busy with the preparations for welcoming their King back. A grand feast was being prepared to mark the new victory, one of the many the King had achieved. "What if he marries the Nortlander she-wolf?" Riff asked as Queen Nethaira turned to face her sister. "Cade is not a fool," Nethaira answered as she opened her small casket to take out her kiseru (expensive smoking pipe fit for royals). She then opened a gold box, picked some scented tobacco, and filled the bowl of the pipe before lighting it up with a lighter flame. Soon enough, a fragrant orange and some lavender arose from the smoke she puffed. "A man will not go to war for a whore, Nethaira," Riff said sternly as she step

    Zehra heard a loud voice chanting-like praising their King as her carriage was carried inside the gates to someplace she didn't have any idea. Even if she was with Ember, Zehra's heart was still beating wildly. She knew she was far away from home and now doesn't know the way back home. She heard footsteps outside as the guards probably returned the horses to the stable. It went quiet for a bit, but suddenly, someone opened the curtains, and Zehra gasped as Ember jumped in front to protect her. "Looks like the king brought a two whore from another kingdom," a man spoke as he grabbed Zehra's hand and pulled her off the carriage, pushing Ember away. "Leave her alone!" Ember said before jumping to the man and shifting mid-air before landing on top of him and biting his hand while holding Zehra. The man let go of Zehra, who ran to the corner, followed by Ember in her wolf form, and snarled at those men who wanted to get near her. One of the men shifted into his wolf and attacked Ember

    "I want to see how the woman looked, Cade," Letisha said to her nephew and son. The servant was done preparing her bed and waiting for the command to take her on it. "You will be, Mama," Cade replied, smiling at her. "I heard she was beautiful and came from royal blood; is it true?" "Yes, indeed. I could tell she's a white wolf just like the color of her smooth hair."Although it's rare, Letisha seeing his nephew genuinely smiling was one of the few occasions Cade could do. She believed that the Cade she used to take care of when he was a child was still there. The Cade he was now somewhat honed by the tragedy he was in a few years ago. People call him a beast, a demon, and a killer, but to her, he was just a wounded little wolf and grew into a somewhat feral wolf. She believed his old boy must be somewhere hiding behind a persona he created. "I hope she'll save you, my child," Letisha said. Cade only smiled at her. "How about you go to sleep now, and tomorrow, I'll let you me

    Zehra looked at herself in the mirror; seeing her face with blood on it, she almost cried. She was the reason why Cade took someone's life. Before that, countless deaths from her kingdom happened because of her, too. When will it end? Why did Cade keep on killing people? Did he like killing them, or was it just another deadly obsession?There were too many questions, and yet they will remain unanswered. She stood up, groaning in pain a little. She stripped her clothes off and went for a hot bath. There was a red bruise on her stomach from the punch of that man who almost raped her. Sighing softly, she got into the hot water, wanting to feel better than she felt right now. After taking a bath, Zehra sat on her bed-no, his bed, wearing her light pink gown that ended on her ankles. Her hair was wet and curly. When she sat, she pulled her legs to her face, thinking about everything that happened. "My lady," Ember entered, worried about the look of her lady. "Are you tired? Did you eat

    Zehra's face paled as tears dropped from her eyes. She was scared of Cade doing what he said to her. The pain of being disrespectful is too much for her to bear. Zehra is a she-wolf who was highly respected not because she was a princess but because the Northern Wolf respected women. They are equal to men regardless of their rank. "This Alpha is too much, Zehra!" her wolf commented. "How dare he treat us like this!""This man is a rumored murderer. He's ruthless. He can have what he wants, even killing a whole kingdom just to obtain what he wants," Zehra agreed. "If only our mate-"Zehra and her wolf's small talk interrupted when Cade gripped the sleeve of her light nightgown and yanked it down. The soft cloth yielded to him, ripping down slowly. The nightgown ripped and fell down, leaving her arms bare. Zehra had a thin white slip, which was sleeveless, that ended on her mid-thigh, revealing hints of her cleavage and her long legs.The moment Cade's eyes made contact with the col

    "This is against Lord Fenrir's principle, Cade," came a voice as Cade turned to face Suzane, Letisha's sister who married Cade's father's brother and lost her title as the former Queen. Suzane married her real mate after the King's death, her husband. Cade stretched as his servant removed his armor. He then turned his attention to his mother. "You wouldn't be my mother if you didn't question, would you?" he replied. "You got what you wanted," Suzanne spoke as she circled in. "And now what?" she asked, her eyes peering at him. "I'll claim her as mine in front of Lord Fenrir and the people." He spoke like it was the most obvious thing possible. "You will, but one of your consorts. Nethaira is already their Queen; you can't just throw her away. People had come to like her," Suzanne said. A cold chuckle left Cade's lips as he bent down, dismissing his servant. "Was that a statement or a question? Because as far as I remember, I am not six, and you are not the Queen of this Kingdo

    Zehra's heart beat so loud. She was just reading the sacred book of Wolf Code by her elders to calm her heart from uneasy thoughts clouding her. She closed it gently, her heartbeat rising as she took in his rugged warrior look. His face was tanned with a layer of sweat and dirt, his eyes cold and dark. Cade's long hair was running wild like the fierce mane of a lion instead of the wolf he was. And the sword that hung from his torso scared Zehra the most. She heard a lot about Cade. Despite being a werewolf, he loved to use his sword rather than his teeth and claws. He loved chopping bodies and severing heads with that sword of his. Cade leaned down, and his lips pressed to Zehra's neck. She felt her body stiffen as her breathing grew. "You can't…can't touch me like this. It is a sin for both of us," Zehra said, trying to push him away from her. A deep chuckle rumbled on Cade's throat as she felt his soft lips replaced by his teeth. He started to suck and bite the place just above

    "It's nice to meet you finally," Lorkan said, giving Zehra a charming smile. Cade's eyes narrowed at his gesture. He clenched his fits in anger as a million thoughts passed his mind. Lorkan has a bubbly personality despite being ruthless like him in a battle. He can easily make any she-wolf fall for him. And this idea made Cade very angry. Cade has always been possessive and has always been controlling. It was in his nature, and it was something people around him had to live with him. Being controlling, his people became loyal to him, whether out of respect or fear. It didn't matter as long as they were devoted to him. And being possessive, he never let any enemy breathe near his territory or things he loved so much. Zehra passed a small smile to everybody as she sat, looking around at the food. All of it was pure meat since they were werewolves, something she was not used to seeing at home. Although she loves meat, she also adores seafood and craves it right now.The maid served

    "What are you doing out of bed?" The voice asked, concerned as Zehra peeked up at the man. She felt his hand pull back from her lips as she looked down, trying to calm her racing heartbeat. For a moment, she had been scared to death he was those same men who tried to rape her. Zehra shuddered at the memory. The man was Argus. "I wanted to get some water," she spoke, hugging herself. Argus looked down at her. She looked so vulnerable and fragile right now; he felt like hugging her close, kissing her- doing anything to make her feel alright. "I'll get it for you then. You shouldn't be out here alone; how's your fever?" Argus asked as he walked over to the kitchen and poured her a glass of water. Zehra watched him."I don't know, but I feel alright now," Zehra replied, taking the glass from him as she drank it one big gulp. She didn't realize just how thirsty she was. Argus smiled as he took the glass from her. "More?" he asked, and she shook her head. "No, and thank you."Argu

    "I'll stay here," Cade huffed, and Eadric nodded, leading him to the big sofa set on the side. The doctor immediately set to work, cleaning his now-opened wound and stitching it up again. The master entered shortly after with his kit. He was old, but he was among the best masters in the entire kingdom, equipped with a keen sense of smell and sight. Cade didn't believe in any herbal medicine alone. But he believes in poison, just like the deadly Wolfsbane. Cade can ingest large portions of Wolfsbane, which wouldn't affect it. His people would wonder why those deadly substances weren't affecting him. And Cade would only shut his mouth, keeping his secret alone. The maestro sat next to Zehra and mixed a few herbs in his drink. "What was the last thing she ate or drank?" he asked, his voice calm and soothing. "I brought her milk…like I-I do every night with honey," Ember spoke, her voice trembling as she fearfully glanced at Cade once. Cade gritted his teeth. "The drug given to her

    "Yes. And roses, please," Cade said, running a hand through his hair. "Aah, the future Queen doesn't like roses. It's a beautiful flower, but she hates them. She likes these wild peonies," Edward answered, picking them out. Cade frowned. She did? She definitely surprised him. "Have you met her?" he asked, and Edward nodded. "She's a kind she-wolf, your majesty. She's like a rose but with the humility of peonies," Edward said, handing him a bunch. Cade smiled, thanking him as he hurried to walk to her room. He hoped Zehra's gentle peony soul could try forgiving him. Cade frowned when he saw no guards that should be guarding outside. Why were there no guards? Where are they?Opening the door, the sight in front of him enraged him. A man on top of Zehra and other men surrounding like a freakish pervert and watching his Zehra! Cade's grip on the peonies became tight until his knuckles were white, and the fragile peonies bent down, giving in to his brutal grip. He shifted into his

    "I don't want to marry you. Never. So, what if I say no? How will the wedding and mating ceremony take place then?" Zehra replied, dropping her food on the plate."You won't say no," Cade said; his voice was slow but laced with such ferocity, and his eyes switched colors. His wolf was trying to take over, and Zehra couldn't help but shudder. "Why can't I? You have taken everything from me: my peace, life, and happiness. You took away the chance of me meeting my mate, and yet you have not taken my voice about marriage and everything! I will never marry you. Never!" she yelled, standing up. Cade stood up, too, his eyes dark and his elongated canines showing. He walked towards her, grabbed her hand, and pinned her to the balcony railing.Zehra screamed from fear as she looked down, her entire body bent just over so that if he wanted, he could throw her down. "I try to be nice to you, and this is what I get? Why are you being such a bitch? Listen to me carefully, little rabbit; no matt

    Zehra could hate him as much as she could; she's still his. She's the only moon who shone brightly in his darkened life. And he's not going to let go. Putting on some clothes, he combed his wild and long hair back neatly, his hands rubbing the side of the beard that grew on his face. Turning, he left for the terrace. The terrace was his favorite place to dine. Reserved for the royals alone and special meetings, he is often here alone or with Letisha. This place was the place that his father built for him. He ordered a servant to fetch Zehra for lunch with him since yesterday he still had some hangover from the moon's pull, and seeing her with Argus added to the anger he suppressed. And Cade decided he would start playing 'nice' for her. Walking to the spacious terrace, he saw Zehra sitting on his chair, looking out at the beautiful view of his kingdom and the river that crosses it. Zehra's innocent yet fierce beauty had long captured him, and the beast of him approved. Both agree

    To forget that Zehra was destined to marry a man who scared her beyond words, to forget how cruel and manipulating him and how utterly miserable her future looked at him, she heaved a sigh. She knew she would never escape from this nightmare. "I shouldn't keep you from your meal," Argus said. "Come, I'll escort you back." Argus interrupted her thoughts as she nodded with a small forced smile, trying to forget the million grey things that flooded her mind. "Can we go this way? I haven't had a tour of the place," Zehra admitted, her heart yearning for her own home. Argus nodded with grins as he led her there, explaining everything to her. "What is that?" Zerha asked, pointing to a flowing fountain, mocking him a little. "And that is a fountain," Argus answered, his tone quite serious. "How utterly magic! Of course, my poor eyes have never seen a fountain before," she said, and his cheek flushed as she laughed."Ohhh.""I'm not retarted as you take me for," she added playfully."F

    "There's nothing you can do about the curse, my King," Cade's trusted right hand and best friend Eadric said when they visited his underground prison. "Unless…""Unless?" Cade was eager. He wanted to know if he had a chance to end his curse. His secret would be exposed soon if nothing would be done. "You will make the girl love you, your majesty.""She hates me," Cade said. "That's because you were too possessive. If you change your approach, maybe she will like you," Eadric replied "When will that happen? The bastard brother of mine was at home already. And his interest in her Zehran is obvious," Cade growled."Then perhaps how about you change your approach, my king? Maybe Zehra will like you," Eadric replied as he shackled Cade's wrists with silver shackles connected to the wall. Cade hissed with a sudden jolt of pain as soon as the silver touched his skin, but Eadric proceeded to what he was doing. He then wrapped his whole torso with heavy chains, and each end was also conne

    Zehra sat down at the table for lunch next to Letisha, who passed her a soft smile. She had fallen asleep only at dawn the next morning when Letisha left. At exactly noon, she had been woken up in time for lunch by the King's order. Zehra had not eaten anything since yesterday, so she didn't mind being woken up. She was dressed in a plain blue abaya and tied her long hair in a tight bun. She didn't mind wrapping her head again because she had already broken the Moon Goddess dress code. Her white-as-cloud hair was now free for everyone to see. Cade looked at her, his eyes fixed on hers as he saw her sit. He hated how Zehra didn't look at him with her beautiful brown eyes. He hated how her silky long, silky hair tied and hidden away from him. Everyone uttered a prayer for Fenrir, but Cade didn't feel kike closing his eyes. His entire body seemed to be restless. The wolf in him, the conqueror, and the lover in him seemed to want Zehra in more ways than she gave him. Cade wanted all

    "Stop! Stop, please stop!" Zehra groaned as soft moans left her lips. Cade's lips felt soft, sending shivers down her spine whenever he touched them. Cade didn't stop. It seemed like he couldn't, and he knew it was true. "You are my future Queen and mate! I have the right to kiss you. You are mine!" Cade growled in her ears. Zehra shivered as his hot breath fanned her neck, and everything he had done to her went through her mind. "I don't want to be your Queen! I don't want to be mated with you! You are a monster! I'm not yours!" she spat on his face. Not liking what she said, Cade bit her on the skin below her ear roughly, causing her to whimper. "Nobody will dare to take you away from me, Zehra," he warned. "Even if you meet your mate, he will end up dying before you."Zehra tried pushing Cade away, but he caught her hands and roughly pinned them to the bed's headboard, making Zehra scream in pain. Her eyes watered as she writhed in pain. Cade's strength was no joke, and Zehra
