last update Last Updated: 2025-01-04 16:21:47

It feels like I just blinked, and today is my coronation as Queen Luna. Eugenia had already done my makeup and dressed me in a beautiful light blue wedding dress. She said Elijah would also wear a soft, light blue suit to match my gown.

"You look stunning, Delilah. I'm getting goosebumps just looking at you," Eugenia said with a smile.

Her words suddenly reminded me of what had happened a few months ago when I was about to be crowned as Luna. Back then, even when Jeremy and I truly loved each other, a tragic incident happened to me.

This time? We were about to deceive everyone, including the Moon Goddess. Fear crept in—Elijah and I were about to pretend to be mates. Could anything go wrong?

I took a deep breath. Hopefully, nothing bad would happen, and everything would go smoothly until Elijah found his true Luna.

"Delilah? Is something wrong? Why do you look so worried?" Eugenia asked, noticing the change in my expression.

I swallowed hard. "My heart is racing, Eugenia. I'm not roya

    I peered from behind Elijah's back, fear overwhelming me, but part of me wanted to fight. All I could do was stand there, trembling, unable to act. I should do something—anything—but what?"King Elijah, I—""Just be still, Delilah," Elijah cut me off.I could hear the royal wolves whispering about the daughter Camden had mentioned. A few alphas stepped forward, their faces hard with suspicion."What about the coronation? What happens now?" an Alpha asked from the crowd."Cancel it, of course!" Camden shouted, his sharp eyes on me."Get her down from there!" another voice demanded.This felt like a nightmare. As the Alphas approached, Elijah immediately went on high alert and threw punches at every Alpha who attacked."No one touches my Delilah!" Elijah growled.But the Alphas seemed deaf to his command. They surrounded us. One, twice Elijah's size, tackled him to the ground. Others grabbed me and pulled me away from him.

    I was thrown into a small room with dim lighting. The only furniture was a bed and a shelf with some clothes. At least it was better than a cell. But still, was death better than being a slave?"Elijah won't just sit back, Deli," Lona's voice echoed again. "He'll find a way to get you out."I sat on the edge of the bed, and all the tears I'd been holding back poured out. It hurt so much to be separated from Elijah, especially when I knew he was my mate. Why were we meant to be one when things forced us apart?"Why are you coming to me now, Lona? Where have you been all this time?" I asked.If Lona had come earlier, back when I first shifted, this couldn't have happened. Perhaps I would have become Luna for Jeremy and wouldn't be living this nightmare now."I came when I was meant to. If not, I might never have come into your life," Lona replied cryptically.I wiped my face and dried my tears. "Still, there's nothing I can do now. I'll be a slave for the rest of my life.""Who said tha

    When I arrived, Catherine's chamber door was slightly ajar. I took a deep breath, let it out quickly, then knocked quietly. I could hear whispering voices inside; they seemed unaware of my presence. I knocked again, harder this time, and the door opened.My eyes met Catherine's daughter, who blinked at me a few times without saying anything."Who is it?" Catherine's voice called from inside."The she-wolf."Why did her words cut so deeply?Maybe she had heard I was pretending to be her father's Luna. Unsurprisingly, she hated me instantly, especially considering the history between her mother and Elijah."Let her in," Catherine ordered.Catherine's daughter opened the door wider and walked over to her mother, sitting at a vanity while someone styled her hair."What's she doing here, Mom?" she asked, giving me another sharp look."I need to talk to her about something, Wanda," Catherine replied.So Elijah and Catherine's daughter was

    As I was about to turn around, someone pushed me into the room so firmly that I almost stumbled forward. The door slammed shut, and I immediately spun around."King Elijah?" My voice caught in my throat.Without thinking, I leaped forward and wrapped him in a desperate embrace. The longing was suffocating; my chest felt tight. I feared something terrible had happened to him, though deep down, I knew no one would dare hurt Elijah.Still, I'd rather sacrifice myself for his safety than risk losing him. All I wanted was for Elijah to be safe and happy."Delilah," he murmured, his warm embrace enveloping me. His strong arms wrapped around me, and I inhaled his familiar scent, a soothing balm to my troubled heart. Tears trickled down my cheeks as emotions overwhelmed me. Was this what it felt like to have a mate? The pain of separation was like being torn apart."I've missed you, King Elijah," I whispered."You can't imagine the torment I've endured being away from you, Delilah." He press

    I realized that Evelyn, Tracy, and Benson must have brainwashed the Camden pack, which explains why they hate me. My presence in Elijah's life must have caused chaos in the Camden pack. Now, I'm facing a double whammy, and there's no way to escape.I remained silent, my lips closed. It was all I could do."You've got some nerve hanging around my father, don't you?" Wanda sneered, her smile dripping with malice. "My father won't protect you anymore. So don't even think about trying to curry the slightest favor. I won't allow it!"Suddenly, Wanda stepped forward and pulled hard on my hair. The pain was unbearable, and as she dragged me, all I could do was struggle and try to break free. I couldn't even defend myself!I could hear Evelyn laughing, her expression one of smug satisfaction. I had always seen her as a mother figure, but now I could see her true colors."I won't tolerate your filthy body or your disgusting face wandering around the palace!" Wanda hissed. "Listen carefully, Om

    "Oh... Is Queen Deli about to cry? Can't call for her king anymore?" Benson sneered with laughter. "Deli is no longer a queen, so the king can't protect her anymore."Honestly, if I attacked Benson right now, he'd lose. We'd often sparred, and Benson always lost to me. He claimed it was on purpose, but I knew he was a weak wolf.Still, I refused to take the bait because that was what Benson wanted. Attacking him would be a serious offense, and I could be severely punished. Vincent had warned me to be careful, and I intended to heed his advice."Clean this room, Deli. It smells like your lies. If I still sniff it tomorrow, you're in big trouble," Benson sneered again.The coward walked away, followed by the other maids, leaving me gasping for air and trying to control my anger."Let's clean up this mess, Deli," Lona said gently. "And later, there will come a time when I will tear Benson to pieces until he dies."I couldn't help but smile despite the tears streaming down my cheeks. When

    I hurried to peel the vegetables and finished before lunch. Wanda's introductory event was scheduled for later, so I sat and waited, looking for the right moment to slip away. But what should I do?"Don't be reckless," Lona warned me."If my theory is right, Elijah or Vincent must know about it.""You have no proof, Delilah. Don't be ridiculous."I stopped listening to Lona and concentrated on a strategy for entering the palace's inner chambers. If I didn't act now, I would be trapped there. Tomorrow would only make it harder to find Elijah or Vincent.Now was the perfect time, with so many people arriving and everyone's attention focused on the festivities.The door opened, and the head maid immediately scanned the room, her eyes landing on the pile of vegetables I had already cleaned. I dared not look at her, but I could feel her eyes on me."You have nothing else to do? Everything's peeled?" she asked, double-checking.I nodded."I can't assign you to work in the palace, even thou

    "Enough!" The scream came from Catherine's lips, and my eyes widened in disbelief as I saw her slap our daughter across the face. Instinctively, I grabbed Catherine's arm and shook my head hard at her. "Catherine, what are you doing?" I asked. But Catherine ignored me, her attention focused on Delilah. Her gaze was cold as she stared at my mate. "Go back to your place, and don't show your face here without proper authorization!" Catherine ordered sharply. "If you do, I won't hesitate to punish you accordingly!" "Cath—" Suddenly, Wanda interrupted me and threw herself into my arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Dad! I can't accept the way Mom is acting!" she cried. "You're being disrespectful, and I didn't raise you to act like this!" Catherine snapped. She quickly bowed her head to me in apology. "Forgive me, my king. But I've been raising and teaching Wanda all this time. If you disapprove, feel free to punish me." "Dad!" Wanda continued to cry. My goodness, what's gott

    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.

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."
