As I walked down, holding the sides of my robe, I focused only on Elijah. I avoided eye contact with anyone else, refusing to look anxious. Elijah was the only familiar face here, even if he was a bastard.He looked in my direction, and for a moment, I felt... admiration? He wasn't drooling, but it was my first time seeing something else in his eyes. The wolves moved aside, allowing me to walk straight up to him. I nodded politely to both Elijah and the old man beside him."I apologize for my absence earlier," I said to Elijah.He was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh. "It's fine."An elderly hand reached out to me, and the man introduced himself. "Bishop Lennox, my queen. It's a pleasure to meet you.""Delilah Ramones, Mr. Bishop." He took my hand to kiss it, which caught me off guard—I'd assumed we'd just shake hands. It was awkward, to say the least. Elijah shook his head slightly and leaned in to whisper near my ear."Elder Bishop," he whispered."Nice to meet you, Elder

The banquet passed in serene peace, and I felt relieved when it was over. After Eugenia took her leave, I freshened up and stared at my reflection in the dressing mirror.I wasn't sure what I'd gotten myself into, but I didn't feel at ease. Elijah's scowling face kept flashing through my mind. Maybe he was the source of this relentless tension in my life.Why does he keep glaring at me when I've done everything he told me to do? I didn't pick a fight with Elena; in fact, I think I handled it elegantly. Isn't that the kind of Luna Elijah wants? A queen who has poise, dignity, blah, blah...It gives me the creeps if I have to be some kind of perfect doll.The bedroom door swung open without a knock, and I knew it was Elijah. He hadn't even taken off his suit; he had just loosened his tie and walked straight towards me. I stood up and turned to face him."I did what you asked, didn't I?" I blurted out before Elijah could say anything."And you think that was impressive?"I frowned. "What

Elijah left the mansion for a few days, and I felt much freer without him here, watching me like a hawk. I should read the books Vincent left for me and have them finished by the time Elijah returns. But reading about manners, psychology, and how to analyze others is not my cup of tea.Instead, I've been spending time with the maids, chatting in the garden, or, like now, baking soft cookies. It's so relaxing, and I love it."You really should read those books, my queen. What if King Elijah decides to test you?" Flo asked, looking worried."He'll probably just ask me for a summary. There isn't a wolf alive who can remember every page of every book," I replied unperturbed.Tris gave a wry smile. "But King Elijah does."Really? That's scary.We heard hurried footsteps coming down the hall, and then Kat's pale, worried face appeared in the doorway. She was breathless and looked utterly freaked out."Beta Elena is here!" Kat announced in a panic.I froze. What is this witch doing here?"Q

My head felt a little light after I had eaten and enjoyed a few pieces of Turkish delight as my sweetest escape. This wasn't normal. Had I eaten too much candy?My stomach hurt, too, and I wasn't sure why. Now, a cold sweat had begun to break over my skin.I tried to sit up as the nausea overwhelmed me, but my vision was blurred. What was happening to me?My breathing was uneven; something was definitely wrong with my body. I needed help!I was so weak I could only crawl to the door. But it felt so far away I couldn't make it any further.Elijah, where are you? Elijah! Help me!...Two hands, warm against my body, lifted me up, and I caught the scent of musk with a hint of lemongrass."Delilah! Delilah!"The voice echoed in my ears. Who was it? Was it Jeremy? No, that voice..."Elijah?" I whispered.My eyes slowly opened, and Elijah's worried face came into focus."Elijah?""You're going to be okay! Just hold on," he said.I heard a commotion around me, and then someone forced a drink

A few days after I started to feel better, I was told to rest most of the time. It was boring, especially since Elijah only gave me books to read. Twice as boring.But today, after I finished breakfast in my room, Elijah walked in. I almost jumped off the daybed at his sudden appearance. He didn't say hello; he just sat down next to me."You're feeling better, aren't you?" he asked.I nodded. "Yes, I think so.""I've asked Eugenia to send you a proper dress."We looked at each other for a moment before I quickly looked away. Frankly, being under Elijah's gaze was uncomfortable, especially when he was in such a calm mood."When the dress arrives, get ready because we're going out," he continued."Where are we going?""To the castle. I have something to discuss with the royal wolves." He sighed. "It concerns you, too, so I need you by my side."I couldn't help but nod, even though a strange uneasiness overcame me. I would have preferred to avoid these royal wolves altogether, but how co

The maid looked nervous, unsure of what to do, and I froze, afraid to touch the appetizer before me.What was Elena going to say? Was she going to tell the royal wolves here that there had been an incident at Elijah's mansion? No one was supposed to know!Suddenly, Elijah dipped his spoon into my soup bowl and tasted it. His action caused everyone to stare in amazement.Elijah made a soft, polite sound of approval and looked at me. "It's okay, Delilah. Go ahead, you can eat," he said.Elena sighed, clutching her spoon tightly. "You were careless, my king.""Thank you for your concern for Delilah." Elijah nodded. "But there's no need to worry."I looked at the king, amazed that he would go far for me. If someone had poisoned the food with wolfsbane and it affected me, my death wouldn't change much. But what if something happened to Elijah?Elena was right—he was too careless.Why was I suddenly worried about Elijah? He wasn't anyone special to me. In fact, he was my master, and I was j

“My queen, you must eat.” Flo looked at me with a worried expression. “If you don’t, you’ll get sick.”I shook my head. “I’m not hungry, Flo. Just take the food back.”“But, my queen...”“Please. I don’t want to eat.”Flo didn’t dare argue. She just nodded and carried the tray out of the room.When my mind is in turmoil, I lose my appetite. I’d rather stay in my room until my feelings settle. It’s not that I want to be dramatic and get sick.I know my limits; I’ll eat if I’m hungry.The door opened again, and when I looked over, Elijah stood in the doorway, carrying a tray. He seemed slightly annoyed as he approached me and set the tray down on the table with a bit of force.“Refusing to eat?” he asked.I didn’t answer, instead turning my attention to the window I’d asked to keep open. At least looking out kept me from feeling too trapped.“Did you lose your voice?”“I’m not hungry,” I replied softly.“Delilah...”“I know I’m useless, or whatever you want to say. Please, my king... I

"My queen... my queen..."The whisper jolted me awake, and I glanced to my side to see Kat standing beside the bed. She nodded politely, then smiled."King Elijah requests that you dress quickly. I've got your clothes ready," Kat said."What are you talking about, Kat?" I mumbled, still half asleep. "Where are we going?""I'm not sure, my queen. But it's you who will be going, not me."I threw the covers aside and dragged myself to the bathroom. When I looked out the window, the sky was still dark."What time is it?" I asked."Four in the morning, my queen."My mouth dropped open; it was too early. Where was Elijah taking me so early?I didn't protest much and followed the king's orders. Our relationship had improved slightly, so I didn't want to upset Elijah again. I had to minimize the chances of Elijah getting angry.In about ten minutes, I was dressed and rushed out. Elijah was waiting outside with Vincent. As soon as he saw me, Elijah checked his watch, then scoffed irritably."T

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 Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 139. The Birthmarks
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'
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 138. They Leaving
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."
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 137. Meet the Twin
My eyes caught a figure standing on the terrace. Elijah stood tall with his back to me. A bag was slung over his shoulder, and he wore a cap.The guards stood guard over him in a tight formation. As soon as I saw him, I ran toward him."My king?" I called out cautiously.Elijah turned, his gaze meeting mine almost unblinkingly. His face looked fine—no wounds, no signs of harm. The moment our eyes met, he smiled at me."Delilah...""Thank the moon goddess, you're all right, King Elijah.""I'm sorry... I must have worried you, didn't I?"We embraced. Relief washed over me now that I was finally reunited with him. Even though our situation was on the brink of disaster, we were together again. No matter how heavy the burdens ahead, we would face them together.The sound of approaching footsteps made Elijah turn away. He turned to the doorway where Michael and Jeremy stood, and he gave a small nod."Alpha Jeremy," Elijah acknowledged. "I

"I can explain, Jeremy!" I squeaked.Jeremy scoffed and shook his head in disbelief. "You're causing trouble when we're trying to solve a problem!""They came here to help us!"But Jeremy didn't give me a chance to speak. He walked off with the patrol leader while Dad half dragged me inside."Have you thought about Aurora and Albert?" Dad's voice was soft - not judgmental, just concerned.I took a deep breath and looked at Michael. A small sigh escaped his nose as he walked beside me, Michael's head bowed."You're hurt too. What if you were hurt worse and didn't survive?" Dad continued. "Let's treat your wounds first—yours and Michael's, okay?"I just nodded obediently and walked into the living room. As soon as Michael and I sat down, Dad left the room. My eyes focused on Michael."I'm sorry, Michael," I whispered regretfully."It's okay, Deli. Alpha Jeremy has every right to be mad at me. I should have protected you.""But yo
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 135. Bringing Allies
The rogue wolves attacked viciously but were no match for our Alpha pack. The Alphas met every punch, bite, and claw with even greater force.The adrenaline coursing through my veins burned hot. Even when my arm was bitten and torn, I fought back immediately, sinking my fangs into the rogue wolf's throat. His body thudded to the ground before he went limp. Despite their greater numbers, they were all forced to retreat.We could hear the defeated whimpers of those who managed to escape. Most of the remaining rogues lay dead. Some Alphas were injured, but they could still walk and bear the pain."Come on, let's go!" Michael urged.The sight of bodies strewn across the streets and dark pools of blood staining the ground made my stomach churn. I escaped my gaze and hurried after the Alphas toward the city's northern edge."You're hurt?" Michael asked.A deep bite mark throbbed on my right arm, but I could take it."I'm fine." I clutched t
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 134. Escape from Alderwood
When we arrived, the hideout felt cramped and hot. It was in the basement of a restaurant, deep inside, like a bunker.Dozens of royal wolves hid there, mostly alphas. Of course, they were the primary targets—if captured or eliminated, their packs would automatically fall under Wanda's control, along with her rogue wolves.When Michael and I entered, the Alphas looked uncomfortable, as if they had just seen us rise from the grave - both of us."Young Master Michael?" One of them stood and approached, then pulled Michael into a tight hug, sobbing. "It's good to see you! I have never believed that you were a traitor! I knew it!"One by one, they hugged Michael, their voices thick with emotion as they cried and ranted about Wanda's cruelty. Only then did they seem to realize that I was there, too.Don't say it again—I've heard enough of that "fake Luna Queen" nonsense."Queen Delilah? I didn't know it was you!" another Alpha said to
