Dinner was ordered, and I, along with the other maids, promptly went to the dining room and set the dishes on the table. As we left the room, Elena walked past us, entering first, followed by Catherine and the Lunas on their way to the dining area.

We maids lined up neatly to let them pass. The Lunas looked at me with disdain; they knew who I was, the fraud.

How long will that label stick to me? If they knew the truth, these Lunas would bow down to me.

"Or maybe they'd try to eliminate you," Lona muttered. "You're a descendant of a pack that was destroyed. More like wiped out on purpose."

I ignored Lona's words and followed the other maids back to the kitchen. Once there, I quickly searched for my bag and was relieved to find it still there. There was no way it could have been lost or stolen. I decided to leave it where it was.

"Hey, what's your name?" one of the maids called out.

"Delilah."

"Come join us in the kitchen. We need a break, too," she invited warmly.

I sat awkwardly in a

    The guards took me out of the cell a few hours later. I didn't know precisely how long it had been, but the sky was dark when I looked out the window on the way to the hall. All the royal alphas, along with Wanda and Bishop, were already gathered there. I was ordered to kneel before the empty throne, my head bowed low.The doors to the hall opened again, and I caught Elijah's scent. A shiver ran down my spine as he passed me. I could feel his anger, though I couldn't tell who it was directed at. Elijah took a seat on the throne and stared at me intently."You poisoned Queen Catherine, I've heard. Delilah, how many more times are you going to cause trouble?" Elijah asked.I swallowed hard and shook my head. "Even if I protest my innocence, the accusation will stick to me. So, my king, I've accepted whatever sentence you decide."Wanda cleared her throat. "Just have her beheaded, father."What? Beheaded? If I were really to die, she and Catherine would be the first to come after me. An

    "Yes, I did," Elena replied bluntly.I stood up, and anger immediately surged through me. "Are you too much of a coward to admit what you did, Beta Elena? That you had to blame me?"I should've brought a recorder so everyone would know that Elena was the one who poisoned Catherine. I was the only one hearing her confession, and it all felt pointless.My teeth clenched, and my hands balled into fists. If we weren't in this cell, I would have beaten her to a pulp. I never feared Elena, even though she was Elijah's sister."I could admit everything, but I'm not the one who needs to leave this place, Delilah. You're the one who needs to get out of this palace." Elena crossed her arms."You hate me that much?""I don't care about you. I care about my brother's position. Do you understand?"Elijah's position? What did she mean? Bishop once said that Elena always had her own agend

    Right at midnight, I heard the faint sound of a wolf howling. Whether it was a sign from Bishop or Michael, I didn't know, but it immediately put me on high alert as I rushed to the cell door. There was no sign of anything, not even footsteps echoing down the narrow corridor. Just silence. Suddenly, more howling erupted, sending shivers down my spine. An attack—that's what I gathered from their warning cries. But why? Why would Michael and Bishop go to such lengths to stage an attack just to get me out of here? A faint smell of smoke reached my nose, followed by distant sounds of chaos that grew louder. What the hell was going on? I heard hurried footsteps entering the cell block, and then I saw Michael panting heavily. "This was your plan? To cause a riot?" I asked. Michael's face was as pale as the moon, and he shook his head frantically. "There's an attack by rogue wolves! They're attacking the palace!" he shouted. My eyes widened. "Rogue wolves

    "Elijah, wake up!!"Tarron's voice jolted me awake and made me jump from the bed to the floor. There was a grave danger here - in the palace. I grabbed a shirt and rushed out of my chamber.Vincent came sprinting down the corridor, panting heavily. "My king, rogue wolves are attacking!"Rogue wolves? What kind of nonsense is this?"They came from the back of the palace," Vincent added."But how is that possible?"Kyler shook his head quickly. "I don't know, my king.""To the armory now, Vincent! Secure it!" I shouted.A loud explosion rattled the glass windows along the corridor. A bad feeling settled in my gut—the blast had to come from the armory. We rushed to the back of the palace, where chaos reigned.Maids and workers ran for shelter while the guards rushed in the opposite direction—toward battle."Secure the gate!" I ordered."The gate has been breached, my king!" one of the guards shouted.We sprinted do

    It felt like I had spent months stumbling through the dark forest with my wounds, fighting my way to Eugenia's boutique. My steps were unsteady as I searched for a way to the edge of town.As dawn approached, I finally reached the main street. I wanted nothing more than to collapse to the ground and surrender to fate, but I had to survive.I kept walking until I reached Eugenia's boutique, where people stared at me in shock. Some even looked panicked at the sight of me covered in blood.But no one dared approach.Seeing the boutique before me, my last ounce of strength pushed me into a sprint until I reached the front door."Eugenia!!" I croaked.My body swayed, and I could no longer hold myself up.Everything went dark...I awoke to a sharp pain radiating through my entire body. The scent of lemongrass filled the air, bringing warmth and comfort. I was lying on a bed covered with white linen, a blanket draped over me.My gaze shift

    The "Welcome to Pinecrest" sign caught my eye as the bus passed. A jolt went through me, like the rush of a roller coaster. I was back. Although I wasn't sure if my presence was welcome here.The bus pulled into the terminal, and I hurried off with the last few passengers. I stepped into a nearby convenience store and grabbed a bottle of water. The clock behind the cashier said eleven at night."You traveling alone?" the cashier asked as he took the money I put on the counter. "Be careful, girl. You should stay alert at this hour."I simply nodded before hurrying out. My footsteps echoed lightly on the sidewalk as I walked through the quiet night toward downtown.My plan was to stay at a motel before going to Jeremy's pack. I wanted to observe him first, maybe for a day or two, before building up the courage to face him.The streets were deserted, the shops all closed. But despite the emptiness, I wasn't afraid. Pinecrest was my home, the place where I grew up. There was a sense of sa

    I didn't tell them much after I returned to the palace, especially the parts about being tortured by Tracy, Benson, and Catherine. Knowing that Evelyn and her two children had appeared at the palace was enough to make Dad and Jeremy furious.Aunt Disa? Even more so. She couldn't contain her anger.However, I told them most of what had happened at the palace, including the attack by the rogue wolves a few days ago.I felt there was a connection between the rogue wolves' attack and Eugenia's kidnapping. After all, Eugenia was once part of the royal family, even though she had renounced her title as royal wolf.They must have thought she knew the palace's secrets—the keys of the Crescent Moon Kingdom."This is getting more complicated. Someone is claiming to be the heir of Crescent Moon. Does this wolf even exist?" Jeremy's eyebrows almost met in the middle; he always did that when he was deep in thought.Dad looked at me. "Yes, I believe many of the former royal family survived. Delilah

    "Michael!" I cried.I quickly pushed past Jeremy and grabbed the guard's arm to free Michael."Let him go! Michael is my friend!" I shouted in panic.I saw Michael's face, bruised and bloodied—he had clearly been badly beaten. But instead of helping, Jeremy grabbed my arm, his expression growing even more fierce."We're trying to protect you, and this is how you act? You know better than anyone that no one can be trusted except your family!" Jeremy warned."But, Jeremy..." I yanked my arm out of his grip. "I would have been dead if Michael hadn't helped me get out of that cell and run."Jeremy's eyes flickered in Michael's direction. "Take him to the cell in the back. Keep an eye on him."The guards nodded immediately in obedience. They moved to take Michael away, and Dad followed."Michael, it's just protocol!" I shouted.Jeremy suddenly grabbed the back of my neck and clicked his tongue. "I warned you, Deli!"He half-pushed m

    I took a deep breath as Eugenia finished dressing me. A satisfied smile spread across her face, and she looked absolutely thrilled."This time, I'm really dressing a queen. A real queen," Eugenia said, her voice trembling as if she were about to cry. "Oh, I'm so sentimental. But if Beta Vincent could see you now, I'm sure he'd give you his smile. Without saying a word.""His expression says it all."Ah, I wanted to cry too. I missed Vincent."Do not cry, my queen. Save your tears! For today is your day," Eugenia said hastily.There was a knock at the door, and Eugenia quickly opened it. Aunt Disa entered with Elijah, both of them stepping forward. Their faces showed the same stunned expression, completely mesmerized by me.

    I looked for Elijah, but he had been missing for the past few days. Even the others didn't know where he had gone, so I began to wonder what was wrong with him.I still hadn't decided whether to rule the kingdom without an Alpha. But one thing was clear: Elijah was my mate. If I became his Luna, Elijah would retake the throne as King Alpha.And if not... our relationship would remain that of mates, nothing more.The uncertainty made me uneasy. What was I to do? I needed Elijah's advice.I wouldn't mind him ruling beside me, but doubt crept into my mind.What if Elijah felt overburdened? He would once again sit on a throne that wasn't rightfully his. I was sure that thought weighed heavily on his heart.

    Catherine's body was carried by the royal alphas, treated with care and reverence despite her father's heinous deeds. Catherine was just a victim of Camden's greed. I watched as Camden's face turned pale at the sight of his only daughter lying lifeless. He howled in agony, mourning her departure.Regret never comes at the beginning.This was Camden's reality.Elijah stood and faced me. I could feel the restlessness in his aura, the uncertainty as our eyes locked."Why, Delilah?" There was disappointment in Elijah's voice. "So it's true? You were purposely raised as a secret weapon by the non-royal wolves?""Wow! Watch your mouth, Elijah," Jeremy scoffed."Stop! Both of you!" I sna

    The plan had been carefully laid out, and everyone was already marching to the palace to destroy Wanda. Alderwood was eerily quiet, with no one outside. Even the shops were closed. In the human world, they only knew it as a gang war. Yes, that was the rumor that had been spread. And the police could not do anything about it. They were only guarding the perimeter near the residential areas. "What's going on, my king?" I asked as we passed the closed shops. "I just want to end this war. And repay a debt to someone." My eyebrows almost furrowed. "A debt?" "Yes." Elijah nodded. "If it weren't for him, I might not be with you now." Who was Elijah talking about? One of the royal alphas approached Elijah, interrupting our conversation. "At the last crossroads, we will all regroup and go to the palace together, my king," the Alpha said. "We'll wait for the others if they haven't arriv

    Our conversation was interrupted by a knock at the door, and I quickly opened it. Eugenia and Michael stood on the threshold, and I immediately pulled them both into my arms."Eugenia, I'm so happy to see you!"It had been months since I had last seen Eugenia, and guilt was eating at me for not standing up for her when she was kidnapped.Eugenia wiped away tears. "I'm glad to see you too, Deli. I was so afraid something had happened to you.""I'm the one who was worried about you. Especially after you were taken. What happened after that?"Before Eugenia could answer, Elijah approached us and said a quick goodbye."I need to meet with the other alphas. There's something we need to discuss," Elijah said.I nodded. "Okay, my king.""See you at dinner." Elijah gave a small smile.After he left, Eugenia and Michael entered my room, and the three of us sat down to talk.Eugenia told me what had happened to her after she had been taken.

    The news that Orson, Fergus, and Arlington had been taken down brought euphoria to the Davenport pack. I was grateful that there were no casualties, and most of the pack members from the three alphas decided to surrender.They had sworn allegiance to Elijah. I felt a tremendous sense of relief."We have already made plans to attack the palace in a few days. The rogue wolves have attempted small attacks several times, but we've been able to handle them," Jeremy reported over the phone."That's great. Thanks for the update, Jeremy.""Hold on, Deli. Elijah wants to talk to you."My excitement grew. Then I heard Elijah's deep, sexy throat clearing."Delilah?" he called.

    The Arlington estate lay ahead—not too far, but I could see it was heavily guarded. Riddick stood beside me, glanced over, and nodded politely."In the end, we stand together against a common enemy. You once sought my help, and... here we are," Riddick chuckled softly. "Fate has led us in circles, only to bring us together again.""Thank you, Alpha Riddick. Especially in such a chaotic time, I did not expect you to offer your help.""This is for the good of all of us, King Elijah. Not just the interests of one side," Riddick said, patting me on the shoulder. "Let's get ready."When my palace was attacked, I fought back with everything I had to defend my territory. I had experience in war.But to attack another pack? That was another story.Maybe it was my mother's blood running through my veins, but I wasn't like Edison or Elena. They were raised to be superior royal wolves. Me? I was just a lost cub with Omega blood in my lineage.If I had E

    The moment I saw the birthmark on my twins' shoulders, my head felt like it was going to explode. I had studied the kingdom's history from the beginning, and I knew that the Celestial Moon was cursed until their empire collapsed.And it was true—that was the symbol of the Celestial Moon Kingdom!Is this a joke? I denied it, thinking it must be a coincidence.So, in addition to Crescent Moon blood, do I also have Celestial Moon blood flowing through my veins? Why would this happen to my twins?"Deli, the she-wolves won't say a word! There's nothing to worry about. Besides, it's just a birthmark—it doesn't mean anything," Aunt Disa said."Do you really think so, Aunty? Even you can't lie to me. Your face says otherwise; you're worried, too!"Aunt Disa fell silent as if confirming my fears, which made me even more anxious.We were already in the middle of a war, and now this problem had to arise. What should I do?"We'

    Upon returning to the Davenport Pack, Elijah immediately joined the other alphas in the back terrace area. A tent and chairs had already been set up for the royal alphas to sleep and have meetings with Jeremy.I was about to head back to my room to check on the twins when Jeremy approached me and stopped me for a moment."Deli, I need to talk to you about Elijah," Jeremy said bluntly.I didn't bring up his earlier statement about being willing to accept me anytime, as if it was a subtle threat to Elijah. Instead, I just nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed while Jeremy sat down on the sofa."What do you say about King Elijah? What about him?" I asked."We still haven't decided whether to tell him about you—about who you really are, Deli. We're afraid the royal wolves might turn on you... or worse, try to eliminate you.""We both know they are not as savage as the rogue wolves. They have honor and keep their promises, Jeremy."
