In an instant, Sashal felt the earth crumble beneath her heels. She unconsciously dug her nails into her palm. Her knuckles turned white as if it would pop out anytime.
Sashal could not muster the strength to face Jermaine with her current expression. So she slightly lowered her gaze. She tried to hide the roar on her face with a forced smile.
'So in the end it's like this, hm? It dates faster.’
Upon returning to her position, the first official event she would host as The Wolf Queen – the woman of the highest standing in the Southern Olf Kingdom- was appointing another woman to be her husband's concubine.
Even the cheap comedy shows open at the public market couldn't be funnier than this. She almost fainted at the hilarious twist of fate.
"I understand. I will arrange it as soon as possible. Just leave it to me, Jermaine.”
And once again, she was forced to do all of this for her survival. She wanted time

Sashal rolled her eyes. ‘What a joke. Now of all people, this kind of man dare to approached me? Is my disguise that good?’ There’s a hint of sarcasm mixed in with the ridiculous awe from what she thought. Sashal had heard from Bella before that, recently, there were a lot of ladies who kept a male courtesan by their side. The ladies will decorate their male courtesan's appearance with luxurious items or beautiful jewelry, then show them off on several occasions. It’s like having a peacock contest. This is a trend that is impossible for Sashal to follow. The male courtesan never caught her eye, not because she wanted to maintain her honor as the wolf queen. Objectively speaking, Jermaine had an awe-inspiring face with no comparison. The Arena host was shouting as a new round of matches would start soon. This time, she heard the name of her one-pick among many fighters who would compete in the ring. “MENITTO!” A loud cheers followed after the host shouted his name. Menitto is a r

‘How did this man know?’The question flashed through Sashal’s mind.It’s hard to tell about her pregnancy while wearing a puffy dress and an oversized robe wrapped around her body. Moreover, her belly is also yet to protrude much.Even the Arena staff who escorted her to the VIP booth did not mention anything about her pregnancy. Pregnant women are not allowed to enter this place, you see. So how did this man find her pregnancy?Sashal didn’t usually feel this intimidated. But that night, she felt a swirl of cold air in her chest, knocking to warn of danger.Her initial guess about the man as a male courtesan slowly crumbled.‘He knows my identity, somehow.’That was why the man’s questions, which she took as a mere rhetorical question, were actually directed at her, the wolf queen.Her cover had been blown by a strange man who deliberately approached her.And the unpleasant feeling that immediately spread across her chest upon realizing this made her tense up even more as she faced

“Oh, Your Highness! Since when were you here? Did you just finish freshening up?”Rohan wiped his hair which was still dripping wet, with a white towel as he circled Faresh. He was wearing a relatively small bathrobe for his large size, as if he deliberately flaunted his body muscles, especially on his thighs.That made Faresh sigh as he shook his head."What is it?" Rohan throws his towel aside.He knew Faresh wasn't the type to walk into someone's bedroom when the occupants didn't allow it, especially if it was Rohan's, the Alpha of Moon Shone Pack of The Northern Kingdom.So there must be something urgent that made Faresh there at the moment.“Your Highness Alpha Rohan, really, where have you been these days? We've been looking for you." A sulky tone came out of the mouth of a man with a skinny but sturdy body made of muscles.Faresh looks pissed, but Rohan grin instead.Rohan sits on his bed freely. Spread his bare thighs like a beast. He ignored Faresh's judgmental look. After al

Rohan Bin Roshad, the 23rd Alpha of the Moon Shone pack. His 21-year life was at the top of the food chain, with a high status where everyone only knew how to be careful around him. Great and magical powers have flowed within him since he was born into the world, no exception of the enchanting shell that lures women to flock to his side. Silver hair, golden eyes, charming features, and a smile that rarely shows but is deadly when it appears. Be it a beautiful face or a great body, he got it all. When expected to be cold and cruel to the bone, he shows a warm and pleasant attitude toward his mother alone. When expected to be so out of order, he practices the Moon Goddess’ teachings earnestly like a model student, not wanting to accept the Moon Goddess’ anger. Indeed, he is such a man that most women could only dream of because Rohan doesn’t glance at any woman. That’s his cruelty. He didn’t allow the women to approach him as he declared in front of his people that he only wanted t

Faresh put his hand on his chest. “I will not say a word about this to anyone, and will shut Rojja’s mouth tightly.” “I can always count on you.” “But, why does Rojja know about this, Your Highness?” Rohan crosses his arms in front of his chest. “Because I came to him to ask a few things related to courting a mate, like you said earlier.” Faresh blinked, confused. Doesn’t courting a mate only need to be done by pulling the woman onto the bed? It was impossible for Alpha Rohan not to know the most basic method. “I see. But again, why is it Rojja, Your Highness? I don’t think he’s the right person for you to turn to for advice regarding courting a mate in a good way. No way, did you do as he said?” Rohan blinked slowly. “What’s wrong with Rojja?” “He talks too much and acts too little. Moreover, the way he spoke was so cheesy and cringey, it made women curl their fingers like a chicken feet after hearing him seduce them with strange words. He’s greasy for a werewolf.” Faresh twir

That memory served like an alarm. It made her heart race and chest tight, but she didn't feel that bad about it. That is… another form of surprise for her. ‘Why did that man suddenly appear?’ Sashal pinched her cheek as she shook her head left and right in disbelief. She thought she could chase away the shadow of the silver-haired man flirting with her in the Arena by doing that. But it didn't work. The more she tried to erase the memories of that night, the more precise the image of that man in her mind became. A rare silver-haired man knelt in front of her. [Wouldn't it be better to start wearing flat shoes, lady?] “ACK! Whoa! Whoa… no way…” -“What? why? Just why are you suddenly screaming like that? What happened?!”- Sashal grabbed her head like a madwoman and shuddered, "Did I just hear his voice?" -“Who's voice? Hey, who's voice?! What's wrong with you? I heard nothing!”- Besides the image of his, Sashal also heard that man's low voice. With no command, her brain replaye

‘Jermaine is here?’ Sashal turned her head sharply in various directions while maintaining her vigilance towards Rohan. When Rohan mentioned her husband was just around the corner, she didn’t expect to find Jermaine is really just around the corner of her garden. And he wasn’t there alone either. “It seems like your husband had a companion over there,” Rohan said while taking steps toward Sashal. But Sashal still didn’t give him a chance to get closer by stepping back, away from the window. It was all she could do to keep the male intruder at a safe distance. Rohan shrugged his shoulder, then complained like a child. “Oh, come on, lady. Do you feel a threatening force coming from me?” Sashal tightened her jaw as she answered internally, ‘No. Exactly because I feel nothing of the sort, including your presence, that’s why you’re dangerous.’ Even in the world of poisons, colourless and odourless were usually the most lethal. Then what about the man in front of her who easily barged

While serving as a Queen and living in this room for five years, I have never heard a commotion like cats fighting in front of my room. But, thanks to the commotion created by whoever was behind this door, I was completely awakened. I shudder. ‘That was a scary dream in one way.’ -“What dream?”- ‘Nothing important. You don’t need to know, Shan.’ -“Tch. You hardly ever dream, but once you had a long dream like earlier, you wouldn’t tell me about it. You know, I’ve always been curious about how dreams work! You cheapskate, hmph.”- I smacked my dry lips and sighed in surrender. Shan won’t force me to tell her, but she might sulk all day. It would tire me emotionally as Shan’s emotional waves would also be conveyed. But that’s better than telling her about my dream. Talk about pride, will you?What can I tell her? That I’m being h#rny, so I’m dreaming of erotic things until morning comes, where the male lead in that dream isn’t Jermaine, but a suspicious man I’ve only met once in the

“Ruri will come here?” Sashal sounded excited. “Yeah, she is. But I need to scold Menitto first for giving news about you to the other party.” “Come on, you know Menitto moved because of my orders. He did it because I wanted Ruri to also hear this good news on time.” Sashal pout. It melted Rohan's heart so much that he couldn't help but smile. “Alright, alright, you can have fun with your friends. But, are you sure you're okay?" “Yeah. Thanks to the herbal medicine I made, my body felt lighter after giving birth. And I recovered quite quickly." “You're still pale.” “But I'm fine, really. I know very well how unbearable the pain was after giving birth to Roschal, so I know that my current condition is the best.” Rohan frowned. "I still regret I couldn't keep you company during those hard times." “You don't have to. We just played our respective roles at that time.” Sashal kissed the back of Rohan's palm. “By the way, how long will Ruri visit?” “Ah, about that, I also want to di

The night felt agonizingly prolonged, with each passing minute stretching their apprehension. It was only when the first light of dawn graced the sky, followed by the long-awaited sound, that a sigh of relief finally escaped the lips of everyone outside the room. With the rising sun, Rohan passes through the big door with a bouquet and baby Roschal in his arms.He arranged the flowers in a large vase quite skillfully, like someone who was used to doing it. It was unimaginable coming from an Alpha. After that, he sat on a chair next to the bed."How are you feeling, my princess?" Rohan stretched out his hand to caress Sashal's head.“It never gets better than this, dear,” Sashal answered with a chuckle despite her pale face.Watching Sashal's expression, Rohan couldn't stop himself from kissing her pale face. Not only he but baby Roschal also doesn't want to lose to his father. He hugged and kissed the face of his mother, whom he had not seen for four days. He did it well enough that S

Not only do we have to fight the legendary creature for which we don't have the right answers, but we also have to fight against time. Everything seemed to be moving faster than usual, even though the Calamity had not yet been fully pushed to the point we agreed on. If it continues like this until the sun disappears behind the horizontal, then what we are trying to do will be meaningless.“We need more people on our side to make the Calamity come to that spot on its own accord, out of frustration.”Alpha Deen had the same thoughts as me. I nodded as I looked towards the Northern warriors. They glanced at each other. I could understand their hesitation about becoming the raw bait to lure the Calamity. Meanwhile, Rohan and the others on the other side didn't look like they were in good condition after fighting nonstop. It had been going on for over four hours, and time was not on our side.“I'll do it. But you know that with just one person, it won't attract his attention. So, you have

Out of surprise, the steps that stopped suddenly slowly found their rhythm again despite signs of hesitation by the warriors. However, it was not visible from Alpha Duke Gustaav and Kaesang as they made their steps so clear. Seeing the fearless temperament of the two men, Jermaine became even more agitated.“How dare all of you! How dare you challenge me here!” He created even more duplicates of his wolf, probably hoping the Alpha Dukes would stop in their tracks.When Alpha Duke Gustaav and Kaesang stopped in their tracks, he smirked. He glanced curtly at me, then bared his teeth.“You guys aren't going anywhere. I'll make sure you receive the same punishment as that traitor!”“Traitor? Who?" Alpha Duke Gustaav retorted in a sharp tone. “Ah, you're talking about yourself?”"What?"“Your Majesty, ah no, nephew, don't you dare get in our way to fix the mess you've made.” Alpha Duke Kaesang warned."What are you talking about?"“Stop your damn whining, Alpha King.

“Ugh,”As the ground began to swallow us, Rohan tried to lift my sinking body. He dug the ground around me with his claws while Ansel shouted.“It's me! Ansel! It's me!”He kept shouting those words out of his lungs several times as if that could stop what was happening.I couldn't grasp my mind as panic enveloped my whole body. I tried to only focus on getting the lower part of my body out of the ground while not burdening Rohan who managed to free himself from this terrible pull.“I'll get you out. Don't worry." Rohan kept calming me, who was starting to feel numb to everything around me, apart from the sound of my heartbeat, which filled my head.At that moment, like a miracle, the ground stopped rumbling all of a sudden. Like it never swallows us. 'Huh?'“Damn it! Finally!” Ansel cursed, but I could catch the tone of relief from his curse just now.Before long, I could understand why.Several people were standing on the surface of the land that had not collapsed, surrounding us. “

“Beta Duke Avimelech, what is this madness? I'm sure now that you helped that woman escape, stage it as she died tragically. And there is also that Alpha. Hah, so you're also a traitor.” Gamma Marquise Blaine glares at us each, spitting bars of slander.There's a hint of fear in his trembling eyes, yet he dares to bark at us. I'll have to give him a round of applause next time.“Whatever you say, sir. You can accuse me of being a traitor or whatever, only if you get out of here safely, though.”“Guards!” With his calling, all the guards gather shielding him and his companion. “Did you just threaten to kill us all, Beta Duke Avimelech?!”Rohan bursts out laughing. “Haha, haaa… It's not us, you moron. Have you forgotten where you are now? The Calamity can easily swallow all of you. What a jester. And you worked with these clowns for years, dear?”“Exactly, my words.” I shook my head.“Wait~ What is this~ Have you all… haaaa, also see the former queen? Huh? Am I not the only one who saw

A huge chaos and crisis was unfolding before my eyes. I still vividly remember how this small town alive even though the darkness of night shrouded it. But now all of that is engulfed in a big fire. We literally bathed in a sea of fire.The only reason why we were still fine despite the flames that enveloped us was thanks to Alpha Deen's divine energy. I'm not sure how his ability works, but it kind of protects us from being touched by fire.Even though I couldn't really feel the heat of the fire surrounding us, my chest felt tight, as if all the air had disappeared. My hands are shaking. And after a suffocating silence, I stretched my hand out to Rohan. He grabbed my hand.I can see this choice happening because of two possibilities. One, the desperate actions of the survivors to keep the Calamity away from them, or Jermaine ordering the burning of this entire city.This guess was reflexively projected in my mind because he often advised me to burn things he considered useless. He a

“I should have seen this coming and put another guard beside him on your side. But picturing two men following you around everywhere ticks me off so much.” A low growl sounded out under his rough breath.I could understand from his gaze why he felt upset at this situation. I would probably feel upset if I were in his position. He is accustomed to leading people who obey his orders and put aside their personal ideas for the community's welfare. But now he meets someone like me as his Luna.In this part, I admit my mistake towards Rohan. So I need to do that to appease his upset. I glanced at Alpha Deen and Sir Rojja, who were acting indifferent, although I'm not sure if they were really indifferent to our conversation. I still have to do it even though I have to bear the shame for the rest of my life.I took a breath from my mouth, then let out the spell. “I miss you soooo much that everything in front of me reminds me of you.

After receiving solace after a long time from the letter written by Ruri, a painful realization came to me instead. Because what I consider a brief entertainment is a misery for almost everyone in Southern Olf. They lost two important figures at the highest level of command, who were supposed to help them reorganize the state order.Well, I don't know how they look at Luelle, whether they feel they can lean on her or even think of her as nothing. But it's different with Jermaine, their Alpha King.They have relied on the authority of the Alpha King for many years, from generation to generation. And so far, their life in Southern Olf is not so bad because of the sense of security provided by Alpha King's predecessors, then now by Jermaine and... me, to be honest.Knowing it's frail, it must be devastating as they can't hang on to Jermaine's rope. They must be afraid that the more they cling to the rope, the more they fall. Their best shot right now is to depend on high-ranking wolves f
