"Ahhh! No! I didn't say anything!" Nadlyn screamed hysterically as Rachel chastised her by pulling her hair. Then she pushed her to the floor.Rachel laughed softly as she stared at Nadlyn's sorry state. Meanwhile, Damian could do nothing to save his mate. He laughed too, but it felt hollow. Damian knew it was the effect of what his mate was feeling. Damian tried to ignore all this, he looked at Nadlyn straight in the face."I haven't liked you since I found out you were Damian's mate. You know I loved him first. You really have betrayed me, Nadlyn. Alpha Mother wouldn't have known herself, and Damian wouldn't have told Alpha Mother. So this must be your doing. Or perhaps the Elf Prince also knew that we were fakes? You were close to him and you must have told him, right?" Rachel asked as she crouched down in front of Nadlyn, who was crying with a confused look on her face. Rachel grabbed Nadlyn's chin and then decorated her face with thin claws, hurting Nadlyn and looking at her suff
NADLYNDamian jumped into the room, then closed the window and came closer to me. Spontaneously, I stepped back, watching his every step carefully. The closer he got, the more my back hit the wall of this room. He smiled wryly, then crouched down in front of me. His hand suddenly pulled the blanket halfway off my face, surprising me."Is that a curse?" Damian asked in a low voice, his eyes scrutinising my damaged skin. I was really scared, but I didn't dare say anything."I heard you got it when you were born. You were banished and sold to a poor prince who wanted to enjoy your body. Then, when the prince got bored, they sold you again. Finally, King William bought you and brought you to the palace." Damian told me the story, looking at the look on my face.I couldn't bear to listen, so I covered my ears as his words made me imagine those painful scenes. Then I spontaneously shouted to stop his story. "Stop!"Damian showed me his crooked smile, I knew he wanted something, so he came i
NADLYN"NADLYN!"I turned as I heard Rachel's call. She had just returned from hunting, and I breathed a sigh of relief to be able to leave my room and get back to doing things around the castle. Mostly helping the chefs with the cooking for Rachel's wedding feast with Damian."Yes? Is there anything Nadlyn can do for you, Lady Rachel?" I asked as I bowed my head, everyone in the kitchen looking at us briefly before returning to their respective activities as Rachel gave them a sharp look back."Come with me," Rachel said, lowering her tone this time. Then she pulled me with a grip so strong it made me hiss softly.When we arrived at a quiet place, it was an enclosed room near the fishpond of this palace. Rachel had locked it, and there were also items such as scrap metal and sharp objects used for hunting. I stared around in horror, it was the first time I had entered this place. The room was very dark, especially when Rachel had locked it."Arghhhh!" I fell down as Rachel pushed my
NADLYN"Shhh!" Elisa told me to be quiet, her index finger on my lips. I closed my lips tightly."It's safe," Elisa said again, pulling her finger away from my lips.My eyebrows raised in surprise. Why did she tell me to keep my mouth shut?"Why mum?" I ask her."Just be alert. Because someone is watching us." Elisa said with a faint smile, then quickly finished her task of treating my wounds. I felt something warm embrace my heart. Alpha Mother had been very kind to me. She already knew that I was the real Queen Luna. Maybe that's why she cared so much for me. But how did she know? No wonder Rachel was so angry with me, because Alpha Mother's attitude was certainly different."If she hurts you again, I'll give her a warning." Alpha Mother looked at me seriously. She had finished and was about to get up from her position as she told me to eat. "When you're finished, have someone pick it up and clean it up."I nodded in understanding. Then Alpha Mother's smile returned. "Thank you, Mu
NADLYNThe full moon had arrived, a full eclipse visible through my bedroom window. I could clearly hear the wolves howling. They were releasing their emotions. Before the eclipse Alpha Mother told me that I must not leave this room. I must lock myself in and not let the wolves come in to mark me. I knew that if I hadn't been marked by my mate, I would have to take care of myself so that the other wolves wouldn't mark me. But I never expected Damian to mark me. He doesn't love me. I let out a long breath, then quickly closed the window Damian had used to enter the room.Before I closed it, I was surprised to see a shadow pass by. I almost swore."I wasn't wrong," I murmured as I rubbed my eyes a few times. "Is that the wolf that hunts here?" I muttered to myself, feeling my hair stand on end, I should close this curtain and go to bed. I don't want to get bitten."Wait!"I was shocked, a hand stopping my movement. I thought it was someone else, but when I saw Damian coming, I breathed
NADLYNThe temple was used as the venue for the holy wedding of Alpha Damian and Lady Rachel. I was the representative who escorted Lady Rachel to meet Alpha Damian and hear their vows. Apparently a mate bond is real, for I felt the pain deeply.I closed my eyes for a moment, then took a few breaths. I took a step back when Lady Rachel no longer needed me. I couldn't bear to see her anymore. So I decided to get out of there."Hello, we finally meet again."I turned to find Arthur. It had been a long time since I had seen him, as he had always been confined to the palace. I smiled happily when I saw him. He was still the same, always handsome. But I didn't have a crush on him, I just thought of him as a friend."Arthur, how are you? Are you all right?" I asked him.He smiled slightly. "I should be the one asking you, are you okay?" Arthur asked me back."I'm very well, don't worry. I think I want to ask you a lot of things. But it can't be here," I said as I looked around and saw many
AUTHOR'S POV"Thanks for dropping me off, Arthur. I'm so glad I found these important books, I'll read them. If there is a chance to go out, I will definitely see you." Nadlyn said as she looked at Arthur who was about to leave. They were outside the palace. As the party was still going on, the palace was quiet."Yes, come in. I'm going home. Take good care of yourself and remember what I said earlier.""Of course, be careful on the way!"The two parted ways, Nadlyn quickly entering the palace and heading for her room. Accidentally bumping into someone, Nadlyn's eyes widened as she saw the person's face."Oh my, Damian! You startled me! Aren't you supposed to be at the shrine with Lady Rachel?" Nadlyn asked after stroking her chest. Fortunately, the books she was carrying didn't fall over, as Nadlyn had very quick reflexes."I'm not Damian." He spoke with a flat face."Huh?" Nadlyn gaped. How could this man in front of her not be Damian? Was he trying to cheer her up and make her laug
Evening came quickly and everyone was busy preparing for tonight's dinner, as they were expecting important guests from several other kingdoms, including Rachel's father.Still in her wedding dress, Rachel looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was in her room with Nadlyn. She also told Nadlyn to get dressed up for her father's arrival."Show me our old chemistry. I don't want you to worry about us being apart. It will let you know that you are my biggest enemy right now," Rachel said as she looked at Nadlyn in the mirror."Yes Lady Rachel, I can act perfectly. You don't need to worry. I won't let you down and embarrass you, because it's not just dinner with your father, is it? There are also some princes and werewolf kings from other countries.""Of course, especially since Damian's twin brother is already here, don't go near him either! He's not on your level and he can't know the truth!""I never told anyone, Lady Rachel." Nadlyn defended herself."What about Alpha Mother? How
