141. Worries About the True Heir
Last Updated:
2025-03-23 02:00:29The 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.

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.

"Isn't she lovely?"Mom looked at me in awe, and I immediately felt shy. I was wearing a long white dress, off the shoulders. Earlier, Mom had said I looked like a moon goddess.Then Mom turned me around and showed me off to my two step-siblings, Benson and Tracy. They both smiled as we exchanged glances."Beautiful," Benson complimented, giving two thumbs up.Tracy quickly slipped her arm through mine. "Come on, don't keep Jeremy waiting."I felt so lucky to have a mother and two step-siblings who cared so much about me. They had been there for me through the hard times and the happy times of the past few years.Dad married Mom four years ago, and my life has been magical ever since. The loneliness I used to feel was gone, with Benson and Tracy always there to support me. Especially now that Jeremy had chosen me to be his Luna. And now, the moment I had been waiting for had finally arrived."You go ahead, Mom will catch up with you at the ceremony," Mom said. She stroked my cheek. "I

I don't know how long I had been unconscious, but the sky was still dark when I opened my eyes and felt pain all over my body. I could smell blood, though I wasn't sure what part of me was injured. My body lay on broken branches and twigs that had miraculously saved me."Oh... my Goddess," I whispered hoarsely.I didn't dare move, the pain was unbearable. Maybe I had broken bones, I wasn't sure. If I had been a normal human, I would have been dead.Then everything that had happened came rushing back to me and I felt a deep shock. Benson and Tracy—I never thought they would betray me like this. We cared for each other all this time.If they had been cruel to me since our parents got married, I wouldn't be surprised to end up in this terrible condition. But they were so kind, which made their betrayal even more heartbreaking.My body sensed something else. There was a powerful insting, sharp and almost intoxicating. The aura felt strange, exuding strength, passion, sadness, and yet a se

My answer was only tears streaming down my face because I didn't know how to convince Elijah.Elijah brought his face closer, then forcefully lifted my head. His lips locked onto mine, taking my breath away. His kiss was so intense that it scared me to my core. Then he released my lips, almost pushing me away.Elijah licked his lips. "Even your taste isn't like a Luna's. Any Alpha would be attracted to his future mate, would admire her, and she'd have an everlasting scent."Was that true? I'd seen other Lunas; they seemed calm and warm, some even wise and strong.Had all that been taken away from me when Jeremy chose Tracy to be the Luna of our pack? Was I really just an outcast wolf now? Where did I belong?"You're useless to me, Delilah," Elijah said as he stood up.So he was going to end me, just like that? He could just discard anyone who wasn't valuable? How cruel!"It's decided, you're going to be my slave."What did he say? A slave? No, I won't be anyone's slave. I'd rather die

Elijah arrived at the boutique right on time, and without saying a word, he took me away. We rode in another car, a black limousine, and I had to sit next to him, feeling very uncomfortable.William's pack lives in another part of Alderwood. Elijah had separated from his family, though his reasons remain a mystery. I didn't dare ask, of course.From his brief explanation, I learned that his full name was Elijah William. He was a descendant of the royal pack, twice my age. I would never have guessed that this 38-year-old man looked at least a decade younger."By the way, how old are you?" Elijah asked.I cleared my throat. "I turned 19 in May.""You didn't shift, yet?""Last year.""Your wolf?"What was going on here? Why was he interrogating me like this? I couldn't calm down at all."I didn't..." I choked out. "My wolf. I don't have it.""That's strange. Maybe it's still hidden somewhere. Or maybe... you're just not worthy of having one."His words tore at me, but I remained silent, c

I returned to Elijah's mansion, greeted by the silent stares of lifeless objects that only added to the place's suffocating loneliness. Elijah gestured for me to follow him to his study, and with a heavy heart, I followed.Returning to the mansion, I held back the sadness that was welling in my chest. I didn't dare cry before him, but the tears finally spilled over when we were alone."Stop crying!" Elijah ordered sharply.I began to shake as his intimidating presence filled the room. He walked over to the window and exhaled deeply."Were you intending to sacrifice me?" I asked, gathering my courage."Listen, I told you to be quiet and do as I say. Remember, you are nothing but my slave!""What kind of king are you to make me your Luna, condemned to the same fate as the last one? You're a tyrant!" I shouted.I didn't care if he tore me apart in his rage. A quicker death might be better than being haunted by a curse."I won't be your next victim!"Even as an Omega, I still wanted my li

Nothing significant happened after we made our deal. I wasn't confined to my room; I could walk around the mansion only in certain rooms. I hadn't seen Elijah in a week, only Vincent occasionally.I never ate in the dining room, preferring to eat in the kitchen with three other Omegas who worked here as maids: Flo, Kat, and Tris.They'd all been working here for almost two decades since Elijah became Alpha King at twenty. The same was true for Vincent, who served as Beta and hadn't left Elijah's side in all those years.They were careful with their words, and none mentioned the rumored curse on Elijah's former Luna."Hurry up with your meals," Kat urged her two friends. "We have a lot of work to do before tomorrow."Tomorrow, the mansion will host a grand banquet to which all the families and alphas under Elijah's rule will be invited. The event will introduce Elijah's Luna, which is me.A feeling of dread filled me. First, I couldn't eliminate my fear of the curse despite everything.

My eyes slowly opened as waking came to me. My whole body ached; even after sleeping, I still felt exhausted, as if I hadn't rested enough. Sunlight streamed through the large window where the curtains had already been drawn. What time is it? The sound of a spoon clinking against a cup woke me. I peeked out from under the covers. Elijah was sitting on the daybed, dressed in a black kimono, his legs crossed quietly as he sipped his coffee. The aroma wafted over to me. "Wake up, sleepyhead!" Elijah ordered. I didn't answer, instead burrowing deeper under the covers. I wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing, so how could I get out of bed like this? I heard his footsteps approaching, and I grew more alert. Suddenly, he yanked off the blanket, and a rush of cold air hit my entire body. "No!" I yelped, immediately covering my sensitive parts even though it felt pointless. "I'm embarrassed." "I explored every inch of you. What's there to be embarrassed about?" He snorted. After everythin

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."

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
