97. The Queen's Night
Last Updated:
2025-02-07 02:35:31The scent of flowers lingered as Catherine emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a striking red satin robe. Her gaze flickered towards me briefly, and it was incredibly annoying.
While Nana and I prepared her evening gown, Gema and Cassie immediately began drying Catherine's hair. Tonight was her first mating night with Elijah.
Ironically, I prepared the bride to look beautiful and alluring.
"No perfume," Catherine ordered. "King Elijah will inhale my natural scent because we are mates."
Gema and Cassie nodded and smiled shyly. Hearing that, I wanted to vomit right then and there.
She did not need to spell it out—I already understood.
If Catherine was so confident, she wouldn't feel threatened by me. Yet she had to make such a ridiculous remark. I get it; she wanted to emphasize that Elias belonged to her now. So be it.
"Your gown, my queen," Nana said quietly.
It was a gown designed to seduce—sheer, revealing every

"Delilah..."I woke up to the sound of someone calling my name. Looking around the dark room, I saw no one else was awake. Who was calling me then? Was it Lona?"It wasn't me," Lona replied."Then who is it?" I whispered.I slipped out of bed and opened the door carefully. No maids were allowed to wander the corridors near the Queen's chamber, but my curiosity got the best of me.The guards wouldn't be around; they were probably stationed at the gates. There was no reason for them to be patrolling, not tonight--it was the king's mating night with his Queen. No one was allowed to disturb them.A hollow feeling twisted in my chest. Was Elijah really with Catherine right now?Strangely, I felt no connection—nothing at all. Had they not started yet?Without realizing it, my feet carried me toward the Queen's chamber. I knew I should stop but slipped into a small side room next to Catherine's quarters. It had a large vent, whi

"Keep your voice down, Catherine; there's nothing to be angry about," Elijah said."But, my king, she knew she wasn't allowed to come out of her quarters in the middle of the night!" Catherine snapped."Delilah saw an intruder. I only confirmed where she saw them." Elijah explained to Catherine in soft words.Hearing Elijah's words, Catherine seemed to hold back her emotions. She wanted to lash out, but Elijah's presence kept her in check. Besides, what Elijah said wasn't wrong, and she had no real reason to be furious."Go to your room, Delilah," Elijah ordered.I nodded politely to both of them before hurrying to the maid's quarters. My heart pounded; once again, the bell saved me. But what puzzled me was why I was always the one to see the intruder. Was this figure intentionally revealing itself to lure me out?"Don't get involved in things like this again, Delilah," Lona warned. "Otherwise, you might be the one who gets blamed. Once or twice,

"The meeting with the Lunas distracted from the rumors of the intruder, my king. Your advice was brilliant," Vincent said.I just nodded. It was just a precaution to avoid more significant problems. If the royal wolves got even a hint that the security in the palace was weak, they would see me as an incompetent king.Unfortunately, the intruders had still not been found. No one knew whether they had escaped or were hiding, making the situation even more dangerous. If they returned, they might cause more trouble.If it hadn't been for Delilah, someone would have died during Catherine's coronation—either me or her."Vincent, gather all the commanders' guards tonight. I need to talk to them. I want to change the patrol routes in the kingdom," I ordered."Tonight, my king?" Vincent looked surprised. "But... won't that raise questions? You're still in your mating period with Queen Catherine.""You think I can make it with her?"Vincent fell silent

What had I done wrong this time?For days after the Luna meeting, Catherine acted irritated with me. Well, she was always cold and displeased. But to blame me for her frustration just because Elijah never visited her chambers wasn't my fault.I was never assigned to guard the small chamber, which made me feel free. If I ever had to be there, even if I didn't hear anything, I could still be accused of something ridiculous.How did I know that Elijah never visited? From the other maids. They pitied Catherine because Elijah was too busy handling royal affairs during the king and queen's mating season.For example, tonight, Cassie and Nana brought up the subject again. The two of them loved gossip more than anything."I can't imagine what it's like to be a queen. It must be exhausting, always having to put the kingdom before yourself," Cassie whispered as we ate dinner."Well, that's the price you pay, right?" Nana shrugged. "I'd rather have that life than

My steps trembled as I walked down the hallway, feeling like I couldn't take another step. The world seemed to be spinning, my stomach twisting in pain.When I reached the gates, the guards gave me a confused look."Hey, are you okay?" one of them asked."I need to see Elder Bishop," I whispered."All right. If you're sick, go to the healer."I just nodded and forced myself to walk to Bishop's chamber, which was quite far from the Queen's quarters.Cold sweat soaked my body, and my vision blurred.What kind of potion was Catherine planning to give Elijah? Was she going to poison the king?When I arrived at Bishop's chamber, two guards blocked my way."I need to speak with Elder Bishop. It's urgent," I pleaded."Elder Bishop isn't here. Come back tomorrow."Ah, this isn't happening!I didn't know what would happen if I didn't see Bishop. If I went to the healer, they would find out what I drank and who gave it to me. That wo

I awoke with a dull ache all over my body, yet it felt strangely satisfying. My sleep had been deep, dreamless, and restful.And now I was fully aware I was in the King's chamber. Then, the memory of me trying to seduce Michael, only to end up with Elijah, hit me like a thunderbolt. Had I lost my mind?"Welcome home," Lona's voice echoed in my head. "You're finally awake.""What happened?""It seems Catherine tried to slip a stimulant into Elijah's tea. Next time, just throw it out. You never know—it could be poison.""That was an accident, Lona. I never meant to drink it myself if it hadn't stopped Cassie."I let out a small sigh and touched the empty spot beside me on the bed. Cold. Elijah was gone.Heat rushed to my face as flashes of last night came flooding back. Even though my consciousness had been hazy, I could still remember everything. Our bonding had been intense—pleasurable, even. I couldn't say it was beautiful, not under the influence of that cursed potion.But it had fe

Returning to the maids' quarters and celebrating this small victory felt satisfying. As I left the hall, I caught sight of Catherine's sour expression, and it felt so good to see her utterly defeated."You're asking for trouble," Nana said worriedly. "Queen Catherine could come after you, Delilah.""I only did what I had to do," I replied."You shouldn't have defended Gema."Of course, hearing Nana's words, Gema and Cassie immediately fell silent. Especially Gema, whose face turned red with suppressed anger."You're the one who caused the trouble, so you should take responsibility for it!" Nana accused. "Queen Catherine will be watching all of us now, and it's all because of you!""I had already accepted my fate when Queen Catherine ordered me to lie, Nana!" Gema snapped. "But Delilah stood up for me! Now I know who my true friends are and who aren't!""I'm not against you! But your actions have put us all in danger!"The tension between them escalated, and I quickly stepped between t

The following day, at dawn, I carried a basket of laundry from the Queen's chamber to the outer part of the palace.I passed through the gates that led to the Bishop's chamber and his family's residence and headed for the garden. His chamber faced the garden, and I tried to remember which window belonged to Michael's room."Which one is his room?" I murmured, scanning the row of windows."Try the one that's open," Lona suggested. "You could climb in.""Good idea.""In case you get caught and beheaded, maybe I should say farewell now," she added sarcastically."That won't happen."I set the basket down near the bushes and climbed up the ledge. It wasn't too tricky; I could do it.After a few minutes, I reached the open window and inhaled a familiar scent. Michael!I slipped inside and found Michael fast asleep on his bed. I hurried over to him."Michael," I whispered, shaking his shoulder.His eyes fluttered open, and our eyes locked for a moment before he jerked awake."Shit! What are

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 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'

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."
