Melissande's POV (before her period in comatose)

The realization that came with the contents of the letter felt like a dream, and I remained there, staring at the inked words until I realized that I was running out of time.

Since Eloria had taken most of my clothes, I packed the remaining items, which were a pair of sandals and two gowns. Hester had left a full tumbler of the weird-smelling herb. This reminded me of Doctor Allira's betrayal and the fact that she was going to get away with it. I downed the herb in one gulp and stepped out of the room, closing the door behind me.

I stopped and looked around, memories of the first time I set foot here flashing across my mind. I would be fine. Things would turn out well for me, and I would look back and smile very soon.

Dante and Drey had taught me lessons, and I would be sure to apply them in my life. I would make sure they regret everything they did to me. I would cause them twice the pain they caused me. As I walked into the center

    Aurelia's POV A knock on the door sent me out of my dazy mind, jolting into my thoughts with an intensity that brought me forcefully into the bedroom. I looked around me, my eyes widened in conster, my heart palpitating with fear. I didn't seem to be in the place where the book had been glowing. Instead, I was in the bedroom, and the book was on the floor, as normal as any notebook could be. “What has just happened?” I asked myself, placing my hand on my temple to suppress the headache that had just begun to creep in. Djurek's journal had been glowing, and I had heard a voice that was telling me about the Queen of the Nine Wolves and the Andals. The voice told me that they were looking for something or someone, and there seemed to be a time for it. “Aurelia!” A voice called out, as the knocking on the door intensified. I bent down, picked the journal off the floor, returned it to its place on the table, and then walked to the door. “What were you doing? He asked,

    Dante's POVI hate the rain. The cold weather weakens me, the slippery ground irritates me, and the whole ambience is one huge turn-off. The forest has always been messy, but the damned rain has worsened everything. The wet grass slapped my legs as I walked along, flying insects attacking my face not to mention the sickening scent of petrichor. “How long till we're there, Griselda,” I growled, just as I ran into a mud pool. My shoes get stuck in the earth immediately, and in my attempt to remove them, the shoe comes off my legs. “Oh shit! What is the meaning of this!”“It is mud, Dante.” Griselda said slowly rolling her eyes in derision. “There is nothing wrong with getting stuck inside it. After all, the hunters who provide the game we eat and the soldiers have to endure much worse conditions than them. And to think you are a king to be”“Spare me the lectures Griselda,” I made the anger and cantankerousness in my tone visible enough for her to feel. “We have been on this journey

    Dante's POV The confident look on the Lunar Gladys face struck an indescribable chord within me. As much as I would have loved to ignore it and act casual, this chord suddenly mixed with my feelings and I found myself cowering.I hated confident people, especially women. They reminded me of Melissa, and Aurelia. They made me feel less of myself, and very intimidated. It was easy to threaten a less confident person and have them do anything you want. I used the opportunity to access this ladies' look properly. She was just as everybody had called her—dark and exceeding shining. I wondered what the cause of her unique appearance was, but most of all, I wondered why she wasn't with Gareth. “I have heard a lot about you Alpha Dante of the Northern lands.” Her words cut through my thoughts, sending shivers down my spine. “Would you like to sit down?” She gestured to the small couch in the center of the room, and this warm reception thawed at my confidence the more. Everybody in the l

    Dante's POV The mention of Melissa's name brought different myriads of emotions flashing through my mind. I became reminded of those days she would send her ladies under disguises to my castle. I remembered even catching them trying to escape with Melissande at one time. On the day Melissa escaped from my castle with her swollen belly. It was one of Lunar Gladys women who assisted her. I also vividly remembered now, of how much I had actually hated this woman. I hated her. She was corruptive, and it would be needless to say she was partially responsible for some of the broken marriages in the land today. She advocated for gender equality, and the women who misconstrued thus negatively, picked fight with their husbands and strived to compete with them. Many betrothed Lunas, easily rejected their mates, and once their parent intervened, pacifying them or trying to force them back into their union, they would run to this blasted place and seek solace among useless women.

    Aurelia's POVDjurek insisted that I remained in the castle and discarded my plan of going to check on the dark skinned Luna. but I ignored his words and waited for him to go about his political business before sneaking out with his,Beta Aaron.A deep part of me against the idea of the disguise, but since it was the surest way to assure my safety, I opted for it. I added temporary dye to my hair to make it grey, and I switched my royal ball gowns to rags. “I still don't understand why you have refused to also go with me in a disguise,” I said to Beta Aaron an hour after we have begun our journey through the silence and cold forest.“Your words are very funny your Highness,” he said in response. “I don't think there is anything for me to hide, whoever recognizes me knows better than to attack me or attempt any silly move. You can be rest assured, you are totally safe with me.”His words were fleeting, but I chose to revel in the temporal warmth that came with it. He was a kind person,

    Melissande's POV (9 months ago)I didn't know how long I was gone, but I didn't wake up in the hospital decorated fancily. Rather I woke up in what looked like a shabbily decorated bedroom with old paintings and dull walls. For someone who wasn't expecting to wake up at all, the whole image appeared surreal so I got off my back instantly to see if I wasn't inside my grave or in hell or any of those crazy places. To my relief, I wasn't dead and I wasn't in hell. But to my shock and awe, I recalled that I was supposed to be dead because my memories weren't clouded like when I had the car accident. I also remembered that Eloria's ladies had shot me not with an ordinary gun though but with a silver bullet! She was definitely going to kill me but why wasn't I dead and what was this place. I tried to stand up but a sharp pain spasmed through my shoulders pulled me down. I lifted my blouse and peered inside and there it was, the spot where the mad men had shot me. I put my hand into m

    Aurelia's POV The next series of events happened so fast, so surreal that I thought I was dreaming. Everyone in the pub was now looking at us, the heat in their gazes piercing straight into my soul. Sensing my distraught, Aaron shifted closer to me and grabbed my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “Don't give them the impression that you are scared.” He whispered into my ears as he slipped a dagger into my hand. “I'm going to try and deceive them. While I do so, pack every valuable you can and get ready to bolt. You understand?” I nodded absent-mindedly, the heat in his breath, adding to the prickly feelings under my skin.Aaron also nodded in response and walked to stand in the midst of the gathering crowd around us. “Listen up men, ”he began. “You are beginning to make a mistake, there is no way the lunar of this almighty land would be in this type of solid place. I know very well that you all recognize me, but the woman there.”They stopped, and pointed towards me, while I

    Aurelia's POV I sensed an element of truth in Beta Aaron's words, the bounty hunters might truly be unto us, and there was no telling what they will do to us if they set their eyes on us. “Don't you think you should find a way to fix your torn clothes?” Aaron asked after we had cleared up the firewood site to confuse our trailers as to our location. “No, I'm fine. We have more pressing matters at hand.” “Are you sure about this?” “I'm very sure,” I bent down, grabbed the bag on the floor, and slung it over my shoulders. Aaron didn't look convinced. In fact, there was an incandescent glimmer of concern on his face, but I ignored it and walked past him, in the direction of the only pathway in the forest. “How long till we get to the coven?” “We should arrive in 5 hours from now,” he answered. “The women will be very glad to receive you or they might just be the opposite.”“What!” I stopped in my tracks, my eyes widening with shock. I spawn around immediately.“Do you mean they

    “Happy married life Melissa!”I reached for the flower bouquet but she snatched it out of my grasp. “You don't need to shout like I'm a lovesick teenager.”“But Aaron thinks you are a baby,”“No, he doesn't.” She lowered her gaze, but I had already seen the redness crawling onto her cheeks. The wedding was over, and a crowd of guests had begun to file out of the temple. We had just finished saying prayers and were now waiting for the carriage that would take us home. “Aaron thinks you're tender baby Melissa, that is why he is going to make a good husband.”Melissande blushed again, but I could see the affection in her eyes. It felt good to love and be loved back. To have someone who knows you more than you know yourself. Melissa had to suffer in her life and the moon goddess rewarded her with a second chance mate, a good and prudent man. Aaron and Melissa became close after the war with the shamanists, and after 4 months, they became official and now they are happily wedded.“I'm

    Aurelia's POV “You seem to like spending time in the library, I have never seen you anywhere else. Do you mind telling me what exactly you gain from here?” I didn't turn around to look, there was no need for me to. Djurek could busy his mouth all he wants, I will not make him head of the council. “You seem to be engrossed in the book you are reading.” He said again, walking closer to my reading table. “What is the title and who wrote it?” His exuded an unnameable aura not to mention how irritated his lavender perfume made me. “I don't think I want to discuss books.” I finally turned to look at him. “there's a lot of things going on kind of and it is up to me to shoulder them.” “And I thought the nurses told you to relax. You have received your due date and you cannot afford to be stressed. The council is going to hold their return tomorrow; let me address them. Give me the list of issues you have been trying to solve. Take a breathe and relax. It is not going to hurt.”

    Unknown POV “How sure are you that our plan will work out?”Elio stood on the top of the tower gazing down at the werewolf land from its insurmountable height. The land was oddly still, but it was all for one reason, the Alpha king of the south had gotten into trouble in the land of the Andals. This thought brought a small smile to his face and he nodded satisfactorily. “I like that Djurek has finally gotten the perfect reward for his desperation and theft." He said again. "He went about conquering and making Dante look like the idiot who knew that he had been blind all this while. Oh, I can't wait for Dante to emerge victorious and wipe out these disgusting moon servers.” He squeezed his face in disgust as if these people were nothing but trash. “I hate the fact that that bitch was able to plan a counter action to the move Dante and Romeo had planned.” Gareth said, spreading a scroll map on the table. “I have always known that she was the unknown Queen, I sensed it the instant m

    Unknown POV The southern lands broke into an uproar the instant they learned about the misoccurrence which shook Djurek in the land of the Andals. They were particularly agitated about the Darnish’s treachery and their decision to play on the king's intelligence. The Danish were never friends with the king. Every attempt they made to get closer to him was to be able to access the throne of the Southern lands which they saw as their inheritance. Two days after news of the war in the land of the Andals broke out, people of the Southern lands gathered in front of the palace and decided to hold a meeting. The meeting was headed by one of Djurek's soldiers. It consisted of the villagers, as well as the nuns from the moon temple. “Alisson Darnish is in there,” The head of the soldiers, Jackson, said raising a hand and pointing a finger at the magnificent building. “She declared asylum and has doubled the guards in her chambers.” “But which foolish guard will remain loyal to her after

    Djurek’s POV The weight of the battle pressed against me like an unforgiving tide. The rain fell heavier, washing away the blood on the ground but not the memories of those who had fallen tonight. Dante’s body lay broken at my feet, his eyes wide and lifeless. My muscles burned, my wounds seared, but I had survived. I had won. Around me, the tide of the battle had turned. Aaron’s soldiers cut through Romeo’s and Dante’s remaining men like blades through rotted wood. Victory was at hand, but I couldn’t celebrate. The air still crackled with dark energy, a presence that sent a shiver down my spine. I turned toward the castle, my claws sinking into the sodden ground as I sprinted back inside. I passed the bodies of the fallen, both allies and enemies, their lifeless forms haunting me as I made my way toward the main hall. The sounds of battle echoed from within—clashing steel, cries of rage, and the roar of wolves. Then I saw him. Romeo. He was retreating down the corridor, his ste

    Djurek’s POV The hall was magnificent, but to me, it felt like a tawdry. The gold chandeliers above sparkled like false stars, their light catching on crimson banners and ivory curtains draped along the walls. Roses—too many roses—perfumed the air, their cloying sweetness suffocating rather than soothing. Rows of knights lined the edges of the room, their polished armor reflecting the flicker of candlelight, their expressions impassive. The sound of murmured conversation and the occasional clink of goblets filled the space, but I heard it all like distant echoes. The unknown queen stood beside me, her delicate frame hidden beneath an intricate white gown, her face concealed behind a thick lace veil. She held herself with an air of fragility, her hands clasped in front of her as if to hide nervous tremors. But something about her stance was off—too stiff, too deliberate. Romeo stood nearby, his sharp features twisted into a mask of feigned pride. His eyes glinted as he glanced at me

    Aurelia's POV Every day of my life now seemed like a novel or puppet movie one would normally sit and watch at the rowdy village square. I began my life as a slave, tending to people and getting punished for crimes I knew nothing about. I endured starvation, emotional abuse, domestic violence, and even sexual harassment. But I was standing on the land's citadel now, gazing down at the realm in its infinite beauty and hidden ugliness. I am Aurelia Visenya Moonfrost. The unknown Queen of the Andals and Nine Wolves. The daughter of the Moon goddess, protector of the realm, ruler of the wolves and the image of the Moon goddess. I was no longer a slave, this was what the moon goddess had destined me for, and it was only appropriate that I lived up to the title. I would take revenge now, Nicholas, the Lerman brothers, Gareth, Nicholas's family, Dante, Allison and even Djurek. The goddess’s powers now flowed in my veins, and I could feel my bones replaced with irons and stones. This re

    Djurek's POV My life's dream was finally coming true. It was all beginning to take shape. I would become king of the werewolf land in three days, after all these years of patience. Even though Romeo was not a worshiper of the moon goddess, he was not a bad person. I see diplomacy and intelligence in him, and after my bride and I have left the land of the irregular wolves, he is going to do a good job ruling in our absence. And my bride, the unknown Queen, was beautiful enough; I used the word ‘enough’ because she wears a veil to cover her face. She was a moon worshiper, who had lived mostly all the years in her life in the moon temple. She was tall, had white hair, and had a nice voice. She would remain in the veil until the wedding rites were completed. I was not exactly comfortable with not seeing the face of the woman I was to marry, but then I reminded myself that the wedding was not for love or any mutual attraction. It was a duty, a requirement I had to fulfil to get my d

    Aurelia’s POV The sudden blast rippled across the atmosphere and shook the building to its roots. We staggered back and forth, holding onto whatever we could find for support. After a short while, the maddening noise subsided, only to be replaced by blood-curdling cries and chants. “Oh no!” Justin cried out, his voice trembling. “We are under attack!” “It’s the villagers,” his pregnant wife added, her face pale. “They’ve come to mob us!” “Is it because of me?” Lunar Gladys asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Before anyone could respond, the loud chanting grew louder, filling the air with menace. “We have found the unknown Queen! Release her to us this instant. We shall no longer be ruled by a demonic. Let us have the Queen!” My legs suddenly felt too weak to carry the weight of my body. I clutched the table for support, feeling my heart hammer in my chest. The announcement Justin made about my true identity was real—my whole life was being stripped away from me in an insta
