"Grace, what are you doing?" I held her wrist trying to stop her. Not only did she look afraid but she muttered something to herself while trying to pack her things in a little brown leather suitcase on her bed. Her room was smaller than mine when I was living in the basement but decorated well, with fresh flowers on the bed stand. Pure white duvet, and curtains that matched well with the flowery wallpaper on the wall. The plain duvet and curtains gave it a nice contrast so it doesn't look busy. It gave your eyes somewhere to look at, and admire. Vintage. I loved it but that wasn't why I was in her room. My mind just liked to wonder and not face the reality of any situation. "I'm leaving this palace, and going back to my mother's pack." She answered without even looking at me. I could see she was serious about her decision but that was too drastic. We can talk about this situation and I'm sure we were going to come up with a plan to counter Laura's lies. She clearly can't keep
Today I woke up with a tightness in my chest which I was familiar with, and I knew which day it was. I felt like I was carrying a huge burden on my shoulder, and believe me no she-wolf should face that. Another year of rejection at the Choosing. I looked at myself in the mirror for about an hour wondering what was wrong with me. My eyes weren't that big to scare a potential mate, half the population in the world has light brown eyes right?My lips may have not been plumb, and pink like I would have loved, but they were not bad either. My height wasn't something to brag about, but as a she-wolf I was happy standing at 5'8. I had hip bearing hips that could easily carry an Alpha even though that wasn't what I would prefer. Black long hair, again was a universal colour, so why was this happening to me? Why was I the cursed she-wolf? "I know you've been disappointed these past couple of years, but I'm sure this year will be different." My mother tried to convince herself more than m
A howl filled the air signalling the beginning of the Choosing.I stood up from my chair, shaking my head trying to rid myself of Igrid's words. Her words had so much meaning but I couldn't decipher what she was trying to tell me. Did she know something I didn't? Could her words be true? Did the moon Goddess grant me another chance at having a mate? I hated what her words were doing to my psych. She was giving me hope. Hope that I had lost four years ago. I hate this feeling. I decided to stop overthinking and go inside the hall where the Choosing was taking place. I didn't want to be the last person to enter that room bringing more attention to me than I would like to.Inside was very fancy, and for some reason they went back to my favourite theme, I had seen in the Choosing. The Luna eclipse. I couldn't help the smile that graced my face even in the face of this atrocity exhibition called 'The Choosing.'Someone shook me, since I was lost in the decorations that soothed my soul
Ingrid left as soon as I gave my answer. I didn't know what she was up to, and how she was going to pull this off, but the prospect of leaving here, chosen, brought a smile to my face. Yes, once the fog passed a little I remembered her name. I was a little anxious, but I couldn't wait to hear my name being called by the scary Beta. For the first time in six years, I looked forward to hearing his gruff voice. Was I too optimistic? Should I leave room for disappointment Incase Igrid couldn't pull this off? I really wanted to, but for some reason I knew she would pull through for me, and was going to do as she promised. Yeah, I was a little naive but I didn't care. This is the best hope I ever got. Once suitors heard 'cursed girl' they looked the other way, but this Igrid girl and whoever she was working for, didn't care. Which was the cause for the hope that rose in me. After our talk, I finally relaxed and sat back down not minding the whispers anymore. Fuck them right? Imagine
"Luna Queen!" I blurted out bowing in respect, and my father bowed respectfully too. "Don't do that, little pup. That's so impersonal. You can call me Queen Mother, and you must be Mr Stademan." She turned towards my father, extending her hand to him. I think he was as shocked as I was. Did we get into the wrong room? I swear I saw my name written on the blue door. "Luna Queen. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, but we must be in the wrong room. We are sorry to disturb you." My father bowed again. "Don't be silly Mr Stademan. You're where you are supposed to be. I am the one who chose your daughter for my grandson." She said with a smile, and I interrupted without checking myself or who I was talking to. Damn mouth, always blurting things out without my consent. "But he is married. I just saw his wife with him in the hall. Unless you have another grandson we don't know about, I don't see how that is possible?" The glare I got from my father was enough to kill a bull, never min
I looked totally different, beautiful but still different. The hair, the expensive clothes and heavy make-up was not who I was. Yes, I was a girly girl who liked to doll herself up when I have time, but I didn't go to this extend. They call the look natural but I have more makeup on my face than anything else. How is that a natural look? Do they even know what natural mean?My hair that was black, now looked brunette with highlights. My lips were painted nude, so were my nails. I was wearing a champagne off shoulder lace gown with sleeves that reached under my elbows. The dress was decorated with lace but had a silk skirt which didn't look bad if I say so myself. I loved heels, heck I had bunch loads at my house even though I didn't pack any when I came to the Choosing but these silver pumps I was wearing now, were to die for, an inheritance I was going to keep for myself after this shitshow ended. "Are you ready?" Ingrid asked from behind me. I was admiring yet hating on myself i
"He started it." I complained like a pup after being scolded. "Queen mother, you know me. I don't behave like a lunatic. I am a respected Alpha not some mutt who can't control their tongue." My so-called husband responded even though I wasn't talking to him but his grandmother. "Calling me a cursed girl in front of my father is holding your tongue? Is that Alpha like?" I shouted at him. "Permit me to kill her, your majesty!" He growled at me. "Both of you, shut up!" Luna Queen growled at us. "No one is dying today. Do you hear me? Bryce doesn't even think of touching a hair on her head. If you ever touch her, I will kill you myself." She warned "...and you!" She turned to look at me, and I immediately bowed down. "Bryce is not only your husband but your Alpha, addresses him as one. Instead of you two fighting you should be figuring out how you are going to give me a heir tonight, which is not negotiable" she said the last part the minute our mouths were about to open. "Tonight?
Silence. Nope awkward silence, that's what we were left with. We finally made the decision that even if we were forced to be intimate, having an audience was much worse. Now, the question remains, how the fuck do we do this without guilt or feeling dirty?"I'm going to take a shower, and you can also do it after." Bryce told me. How dare he? I was not one of his subjects. I will take a shower when I feel like taking a shower. "Why you first?" "Do you want to do it, first?" He raised an eyebrow at me, like I was a stubborn pup. The truth is, I didn't. I am not sure I want him to see me naked yet. Heck, I didn't even know how we were going to be intimate without touching. This was my first time, and I never thought my first time was going to be this awkward. If I had known, I would have taken Paul on his offer in tenth grade to have Netflix and chill. That way, at least I knew I was going to enjoy it. "No, I was just asking. I should have known that even a single question would t
"Grace, what are you doing?" I held her wrist trying to stop her.

" I don't understand what you're telling me right now, Bryce." I paced in the infirmary hallways. I had thought everything was coming to an end. The lies, and the deceit but now he's telling me we have no proof? How the fuck not? I did my part, now he needs to do his part too. What the fuck was stopping him now?He must tell me outright what the fuck he is talking about. Isn't an affair forbidden in the Royal palace? The DNA was going to prove that the child belonged to Ethan and not him right? So what the fuck was he waiting for and what was so wrong about that? Why is he making me feel so stupid and frustrated right now? I was doing this for him, the pack and the Royal household. Why does he make me feel like a bad guy? Fucken why?"Forest, calm down. I get that you're angry and anxious right now but can we speak about this later? I need to be with Laura in there right now. She needs me and I need to get answers from the doctor on why this happened. Royal households don't get
I was on my way to see Grace when I heard a commotion on the third floor. I wasn't going to pay heed to it, since I had a mission and I wanted Grace to help me with it but my heart stirred me toward the loud voices anyway. I wasn't Luna yet, and there was nothing I could do to help or set the situation down the stairs straight but I still went there nonetheless and I was surprised to hear Laura's voice. She seemed angry but with who and why? The crowd didn't help either. They seem like they would kill for her. It saddened my heart to see her loyal pack members love her so much, when she was the one betraying them. How hurt are they going to feel when they find out she is a cheat and a liar? The truth coming out was going to be bittersweet for me. I didn't want to break the pack members heart but at this rate we didn't have a choice. She had to be stopped. I got closer and pushed my way through the crowd until I was in the middle of them. The scene before me was not what I expec
Laura. How do I prove to Ethan that Grace is never and was never on our side? His plan was fine but the thing is, I want him to be responsible for some of the things we did. I want him to rot in jail or put to death for trying to harm the next Alpha King. No one was going to take Bryce away from me, not even the Goddess herself. I thought, changing into something comfortable, but I still felt unwell. I didn't know if it was physical or emotional. I have been feeling like that since last night but I thought I was going to sleep it off. Maybe it's the stress of seeing Bryce warm up to that tramp and spending more time with her than me. He hardly comes back to the bedroom anymore. The last time I spent time with him was three days ago. Fucken three days, and even then he was not present. I could see his mind and thoughts were somewhere else. I had to beg for him to touch me, me. Imagine begging for sex, when you know very well any male wolf would have jumped at the opportunity to t
Ethan.The hate I feel for this pack is unparalleled. Everyone here thinks I'm stupid. Stupid little Beta always coming second right? Wrong, they're all going to pay for taking me for granted, and the first one will be Bryce. He is my childhood friend but what has he ever done for me? Absolutely zilt, nothing. Six years ago, I only wanted one thing. One person, Laura but he took that away from me. Took away the only woman I have ever loved, the only family I had left.Does he think I forgot about that? That we have moved on from that betrayal? He must be feral.My parents died protecting his parents. The Royal family only knows how to take, and nothing else. Another person that thinks I am stupid is Laura. She wants me to commit a crime punishable by death so she can be with Bryce? I don't think so. Everything is going to come back to her. She is the one going to be punished for her sins, and once that happens, I will take Bruce's little virgin and make her mine. Unlike them, I
"Stop distracting me. I have something to tell you!" I pushed his face off my neck. The sex in his office was spectacular. The thought of someone knocking or hearing us made it a little dangerous and I loved it. It made it more intense. "One more. Can I eat you?" He asked but for my ego I would describe it as pleading. My pussy was that good. Once was not enough he wanted more, and at this rate pregnancy was a sure thing. "When you entered this office, you told me you wanted to work. What happened now? Don't you want to work again?" I teased him. "Work can wait. I am hungry, and you refuse to feed me!" He tried pouting but it didn't suit him. You can tell that it was the first time he tried to pout. Is the big bad Alpha finally opening up to me. Does he feel comfortable enough to be himself around me? It's a lie, I must be seeing things. "Are you pouting, Alpha?" I teased again, and he chuckled. It was a nice melody. For some reason it made me feel happy to see him this way. T
Bryce. "I'm the next Alpha King. I'm not supposed to be taking this nonsense especially from a whore. What is wrong with that picture? You're Queen Luna. Proudly selected by the Goddess, and the last lycan. Fix this mess." I paced in my grandma's office. I couldn't take this anymore. Things were getting out of hand, and for what? I wasn't going to let one of my pack members die, and sacrifice themselves because they thought they had no other choice. They thought their family was in danger and the worst part is, we knew the culprit. How long were we going to play dumb?"Calm yourself, and lower your voice. Being Queen Luna doesn't mean I'm above the elders. I'm doing this for you, Bryce. You need to be the next Alpha King. No matter what it takes. I listened to your father, and let him choose his mate, look what happened? They gave me you. A huge black wolf tarnishing our image. We both know without a lycan in our family the throne is leaving this family. Do you want Alpha Derri
"I have been in this pack for years now but I didn't know women in this pack are going through so much. I really thought I was bad luck. Thank you so much, Sophia." Talisha happily said. You could see that a weight on her shoulders was lifted. I wish I could say the same but I couldn't. Loretta's words from last night still haunt me. Was she being snarky as always or was she really afraid for her family? What the hell was going on in this palace? Who was behind all this, and why? The way what happened last night affected us, Bryce and I, just cuddled the whole night without saying a word. I think he was just as confused as I was. Who had this much power to even elude the Queen Luna, and mess with the Royal pack?"Sophia!" Talisha called when she saw I was lost in my thoughts yet again. "Sorry. But that's why I brought you here. I knew hearing the storues from other women will help you too, and you won't feel so alone." I told her. I wasn't even listening the whole time. My only
"Where are we going? It's already so late at night. The Queen is going to be so upset that we didn't do the deed" I followed behind him. After our talk we sat on the bed for a while. I hoped he was going to make his move but he didn't. I wasn't going to be the one to initiate sex. I was going to do it but I wasn't going to initiate it. Does it make sense?Instead of doing the deed like we were supposed to, he was dragging me somewhere else. If Bryce thought I was going to let him touch me in public he was wrong. I'm not that kind of girl. That thought of having sex outside excited me. Contradicting my previous thought. Do I even know myself?"We can have sex when we come back. Right now, I have a present for you. Earlier I thought you were not ready to receive it but after our talk I realised you deserve to see it." He explained but didn't let my hand go. If Laura saw us now, there was going to be drama and I was not in the mood for it. "My birthday is next month, not today." I c
