Chapter 49

I closed my eyes, scared that the fire beneath my skin would burn me to a crisp.

When I woke up again, I was in a bath of water and steam was rising all around me.

“Arnou?” I called out in confusion as my vision cleared.

“Yes, Daciana, are you okay? I was so worried.” Arnou said in a rush as he came with a bucket of cold water and poured it into the steaming bath.

I blushed hard when I realized what had happened.

I had gone into heat and Eva had rushed Arnou.

“Oh my gosh. Don't even speak to me. I'm mortified.” I groaned with my face in my hands.

“Hey, come on. You don't need to be embarrassed in front of me. We're getting married soon, remember?” Arnou said with a small smile as he sat on the edge of the bathtub and splashed some cold water on my hair.

“Yeah well, you're not the one who was begging me to mate with you,” I whispered as I raised my head from my hands and stared at him.

He didn't reply to me though, he was staring at me. I followed the line of his eyesight an

    I sighed in relief and sipped my drink as quietly as possible.I could feel the pins sticking me in different places and my leg was cramping badly.In irritation, I kicked off the clinching heels that had my toes in a cuckold and wriggled my toes, pleased at the sudden freedom.I was hiding out on the floor of the dressing room at the dressmaker's shop.I had to hide and eat something because Alisa was like a relentless manager who was after my life.Earlier today, I resolved to please Alisa. Yeah well, Herley can have her. That resolution has flown out the window.Alisa had pleasantly told me that my wedding dress was ready and it was time for the final fitting. I should have known it was too good to be true.Alisa was right on one account and one account only. My wedding dress was ready. And before you think it was a hideous piece of fabric, it wasn't.It was extremely beautiful but that's not the reason I'm hiding out, eating on the floor of the dressing room. No, the real reason

    Chapter 51I grunted once again as the royal carriage kept moving up and down the bumpy road.Alisa was sitting beside me and chattering about how beautiful my dress was and some other thing that I could barely concentrate on.“Alisa, what's the relationship between Arnou and Herley like?” I interrupted whatever she was talking about.She turned her head to look at me in surprise.“Oh. They're a bit close I guess. That's normal though considering the fact we all grew up together. Why? Is there a problem?” Alisa asked.“Just curious,” I replied to her with a fake smile.After that Alisa seemed to pick up on my mood and stayed silent for the rest of the journey home.When we arrived at the palace, I looked around surprised. The servants had been busy while we were gone and the entire palace and grounds had been decorated.I knew they were going to decorate it in anticipation of the wedding guests that had begun to arrive but I didn’t expect them to get it done so quickly.“Daciana, come

    Chapter 52“Alisa, when did you find the time to plan all this?” I asked Alisa in horror.“A secret of the trade,” she replied with a mischievous smile and pulled me into what I deemed my hell.The entire room was covered with makeup and hair equipment, and four servants who were in charge of doing my hair and makeup stood with their heads bowed before Alisa and me.I heaved a sigh of resignation and allowed Alisa to begin her ministrations on me.“I still won't understand why this is necessary. I'm pretty sure I don't need all this makeup and elaborate hairdos for Arnou to tell me my dress looks pretty.” I said to Alisa with an irritated eye roll.“Oh come on Daciana. No take backs, you already agreed to allow me to do your hair and makeup.”“I'm not refusing, I just don't see the need.” I groaned out in mock frustration.Alisa just chuckled and ignored me.I sank into my makeup chair and the servants started working on me.I smiled a bit as I remembered the way Alisa had defended me

    I spun around panicked. Everywhere was dark and I still couldn't see anyone.“Arnou!” I screamed out in hopes that he might be nearby. But all I got in return was silence.I was just about to shift to my wolf so I could see in the darkness when I heard a loud sound.I ducked quickly with my hands above my head in fear, then suddenly the clearing was filled with light.The sight before me nearly took my breath away. The entire clearing had been decorated with lights and flowers. It was so beautiful, and I kept staring trying to make sense of the scene before me.“Happy birthday!” I jumped in surprise at the sound of more than thirty people yelling birthday wishes at the top of their lungs.“Happy birthday Daciana!” Alisa yelled out as she came up to me and enveloped me in a hug.I looked at her surprised. Was today my birthday? I had not celebrated my birthday in so long, I had forgotten about it.I mean technically today isn't my real birthday but seeing as I don't know who my real

    Today was the day.The day that would inevitably change my life forever and I was getting married to the love of my life.I had spent the last night in my room because Arnou couldn’t see me until it was time was our joining.I wasn’t worried though, now I knew the only reason Arnou snuck out in the mornings with Herley was to plan my party.I had awoken as early as 3 am this morning unable to sleep due to nerves.I kept thinking about what Alisa had revealed to me last night.I wasn’t a judgemental person, I believed that love came in different shapes and sizes.But Alisa is a Princess, I doubt Arnou knows about her secret and I’m not going to be the one to tell him either.I just hope he’s as accepting of her as I was.“Your highness, are you ready for your bath?” Brie said.I had been sitting at my desk since before dawn amusing myself by unwrapping the different gifts I had received the night before.I knew when my room door had opened and my maids had filed inside.

    I stood in shock, unable to move a limb or even cry out in distress.I slapped a palm across my mouth as I choked back the sobs that threatened to overwhelm me.Alisa was looking in confusion. She still didn’t get why I was shaking so badly.I took a deep breath and tried to calm down a bit so I could tell her about my dress.But before I could speak, Gloria looked at the dress trying to investigate my insane reaction.She shrieked in outrage when she saw my tattered wedding dress, Alisa and the other servants hurriedly turned to view the dress as well.Alisa screamed out at the sight of the huge rips that raked down the dress.Someone had shifted and railed the dress apart with their claws. Alisa was so furious she wrapped her hand around one of the maid’s hair and began to pull on it.I tried to stop her in shock, but she shrugged off my hand.“What is the meaning of this? Why would you destroy the dress? Tell me exactly what happened to the dress immediately.”Alisa yelled at the m

I tried taking deep breaths.Eva was weeping from joy and I was happy but I was mostly concerned about not tripping on my dress.My face was slightly hidden behind my long lace veil but I was sure everyone could see my wide smile.The train of my dress trailed behind me and I peeked a look at Arnou’s face from under my veil.He looked tearful. I chuckled a bit as tears welled up in my own eyes.“You finally got me to agree didn’t you?” I shot at him cheekily.He seemed startled at my message and I smiled even wider in amusement.“I admit, I panicked when you didn’t show up,” Arnou replied.I got to the podium where Arnou stood waiting for me and Granny placed my palm in Arnou’s own.The crowd that had gathered all around to watch our joining burst into loud applause and o blushed as red as a tomato.Thank God for my veil.Gr

    EPILOGUE Narrator’s POV The woman floated around the ballroom in the arms of her beloved and surrounded by her pack members. Her subjects for she was their sovereign and their High Luna. Her heartbeat thundered with that of her husband. He was happy, she could feel it. So why wasn’t she content? Why did a niggling feeling seem to burrow away at the back of her mind? “My love? Are you okay?” The lycan asked as he focused his attention on her. “Yes, Just. I need some air. Please walk with me,” Daciana requested as she dropped her arm from Arnou’s shoulder and held on to his arm. . “Of course,” Arnou replied. No questions asked. Together, they walked out of the ballroom, their absence causing slight worry in a red-haired girl and her friend. “Do you feel a bit better now?” Arnou asked her as they walked down the palace hallway hand in hand. “Hmm. It’s just, we haven’t had this much peace and happiness in so long. Am I crazy, if I feel like it’s not permanent?” A slight frown

    Chapter 223Narrator’s POVThe night was dark and the prison cell was cold yet the girl didn’t shiver or whimper. She stood with her arms chains and a resigned look on her face.The goddess knows this time she tried. She had looked on as everyone dropped to their knees and begged her. And even though she had dreamt, for months of the day they would all recognize that they wronged her, In that moment, all she felt was genuine worry that her best efforts wouldn’t be enough.It seems almost ironic, as she had been a proud, confidant general, Second only to the lycan and primed to be his high Luna. But living about those dreadful humans for months would do that to anyone. They would grate at you until all your confidence faded away.She knew the golden-haired woman wouldn’t die. She had taken measures against that a while ago but looking into the fearful faces of what had once been her family, Herley decided to scrape together what remains of confidence she had left and do her best.And i

    Chapter 222Daciana’s POVI stood in silence as I watched Arnou open my bedroom door weakly.The utter fear and grief on his face when I had agreed to end out marriage kept on replaying in my mind but I shook my head to clear my thoughts.Arnou stepped out into the sitting area and I followed closely behind him.The moment we came out, Maliya pushed herself out of Alisa’s arms and stood up with a fearful look on her face.“Well? What do we do now?” Alisa asked softly as she stood up and threaded her fingers with Maliyas.It gave me great joy to see that they had reconciled.“Nothing. We do nothing but wait fir it all to be over and I take this chance to say goodbye,” I replied her before Arnou could open his mouth to speak.He clenched his hands by his side in anger and I could feel the waves if his emotions and his hurt flooding through me.“But your children? Daciana reconsider this. Maybe there’s something we can do or-“ Danica said with a frown on her face.I walked up to her and

    Chapter 221Daciana’s POVI gasped as Triss yelled and everyone in the room turned to stare at me.Maliya blinked confused but I could already sense the animosity pouring from her at Triss’s announcement as she listened and didn’t hear any heart beating in my chest.“EVERYONE OUT!” Arnou growled suddenly as he pointed at the door.He was afraid. That much I could feel, but he was also incredibly relieved and that brought me small peace.My legs shook as I pulled myself to a seating position and Triss snarled at Arnou angrily.“I left just for a few minutes. What did you do? Where’s Daciana? Why is that thing in her body? She demanded angrily as her eyes flitted to me for a quick second.Hurt racked my body as tears pricked the back of my eyes and I started to speak. To tell Triss something. Anything that would make her know, I wasn’t some strange enemy but Arnou beat me to it.“I SAID LEAVE!” He yelled angrily as the doors of my bedroom swung open and several palace guards rushed in.

Silenced and immune to the world.“Yes. Someone similar, except I was alone, but you’re not. I’m here with you, and together we’re stronger,” Eva’s soothing voice flooded my brain, and I smiled in ecstasy.Perhaps this place, this dark cocoon, was better after all.The sweet feeling of peace that lingered in my limbs, the love between my wolf and me We were made for this, just the two of us. No one else mattered.“Yes. We are,” I whispered back as a content smile flooded my lips. This place was perfect. Paradise.None of the suffering above could touch us here. Here we were happy and here we would remain-“NO!” The sharp scream of someone cut through my peace, and I blinked violently, disturbed.That wasn’t my wolf! Who was that, and why were they disturbing our peace? Were they trying to take

    Chapter 219Maliya’s PovI groaned weakly as I blinked open my eyelids.“What’s going on?” I croaked to no one in particular.“Here, have some water,” A voice said calmly from my bedside.I sat up slowly and stared at Alisa in shock.She had dark circles under her eyes and looked extremely tired but apart from that, I could almost not tell she had been battling a magic wielding, Vampiric child just hours ago.Wait! What time is it?The last time I had seen Alisa, she had been battling Star by herself while Prince Xavier faced off some other Vampire.The moment Verena died and told me to get Herley for the high Luna, I knew I had to leave before the Vampires finished off Alisa and Xavier and came for me too.I crawled to their horses that they had left unattended, and this one is surprisingly because I have no idea how I achieved such a feat but I dragged my naked and poisoned ass up one horse and held on as hard as I could while the horse raced away.The goddess surely had a hand in m

    Chapter 218Arnou’s PovPower surged through me. Expanding as the warmth of the fire licked at my fingers greedily. For a moment, I feared I was drawing on Daciana’s power too much, and I retracted my hand.It was unmarred, and when I turned my head around to stare at my wife on the bed, she lay unmoving, like the power draw hadn’t affected her at all.I already knew she was powerful, but it just put into perspective just how powerful she is.More confident than the first time, I put my hand into the flame again as the familiar feeling of warmth licked at my fingers. The fire danced like it was alive, and it was relatively easy for me to pluck a piece, almost like breaking off a branch of a tree.I withdrew my hand from the fire, and with the little piece swimming in my palm like mercury, I poured it into the tube and stood to my feet.Everyone in the room, including Herley, watched in surprise. It was almost like she hadn’t expected me to be able to do it.“You stuck your hand into f
