Revised chapter 5

Chapter five

I was standing mute in the garden staring at Arnou like a statue. Because truth be told, I didn't think I heard what he said correctly.

He couldn't possibly be asking me to marry him, moments after I got divorced.

Stuff like that only happens in movies, and this was reality.

"I'm sorry what?... I don't believe I heard you correctly." I asked Arnou in disbelief.

"Yes you did. I just asked you to be the Lycan queen.

Daciana, will you be my luna?." Arnou asked again with a slight chuckle.

At this point, I was utterly bewildered. I mean why on earth would Arnou ask me to be his luna?

I know that the Lycan kings pick their own mates. Because it's so rare for them to find their fated mates.

But even if by some stroke of luck, Arnou had fallen hopelessly in love with me and wanted me for his luna.

It didn't explain why he would propose bare moments after my marriage ended. And in front of all these people too.

"Why?" I asked, still in a state of shock.

  • The Lycan King's Rejected Mate   Chapter 6

    Revised chapter 6Chapter six I still remember all the pain and humiliation I received from him and Nikkini. I crossed my arms as I stood in the gap between my open door. "What do you want?" I asked in a harsh voice.He smiled widely at me. Gods, I can't remember the last time Eden directed a smile at me. Yet here he was smiling like he was the most pleasant person on the continent."I just wanted to apologize for everything that went down today." He said pleasantly.Eden has never apologized to me for all the things he put me through over the years. Now just because I could potentially become the Lycan's luna and technically outrank him, he's trying to suck up to me. I can't believe I ever loved such an unflattering person. Just the thought of it is ridiculous.He looked so ecstatic, I couldn't even help but wonder if he was affected by our divorce at all. I mean, he didn't even mind that I was going to be someone else's mate. He showed not even an ember of jealousy. Honestly it ki

    Chapter 7I was so glad to see the gentle approval on Arnou’s face when I gave my reply. He seemed pleased that I was walking away from such a bad situation.“What time do you want to leave? Just say the word and it’s done” Arnou asked me. I looked at Eden and realized that I couldn’t stomach to be here, another minute. Not with Nikkini about to take over my chambers. I didn’t necessarily need to be the Lycan’s luna but I could at least use this opportunity to leave.“How about immediately?” I asked a bit tentatively scared that I would seem too eager.Eden looked at me, a look of wide panic on his face and yelled “No, if the Lycan leaves before the annual gala is over, I would become the mocking stock of all the other alphas.”“It’s a bit late for that don’t you think? I can assure you that you’re already being mocked for rejecting your luna in front of the others lunas.” I said with a mocking smirk at him.Arnou pointedly ignoring Eden, just looked relieved, and said to me.“I was ho

    I stood in front of that door, with my heart beating fast in my chest. Arnou took one look at my pale face and asked if I was okay with concern in his voice.Honestly, I was just trying to focus on my breathing, I was too nervous to even pretend like I was alright.“I know you’re tired. It’s been a long day for you, with everything that went on today, it’s a miracle you’re still on your feet. I’m sorry for being so inconsiderate. I should have seen it earlier. We can meet my family together whenever you’re ready to do so.”Arnou said softly in a calm voice.And slowly, my racing heart calmed as Arnou’s woodsy spicy scent Arnou flooded my senses.I was so tempted to ask him to delay the meeting. I knew he would agree in a heartbeat but I took one look at Alisa’s face and knew I had to do it. If only to prove myself, and wipe that contemptuous look from her face. Besides If this was going to be my new family, I needed to make a good first impression. Not a weak one.And so, squaring m

    Alisa’s offer to be my tour guide filled granny with pleasure and filled me with dread. Before I could object again, Alisa clamped her arm around my arm and said way too sweetly“Come on now Daciana, let’s go.”I knew that at this point if I refused, grandma might consider me rude. So I put on a fake confident smile and stepped out of the room with Alisa.As soon as we got out of my room, I smiled a meek smile at her, hoping her feelings towards me had changed. All it did was incite a laugh from her. And so the tour began.We went from room to room, and Alisa was a surprisingly good tour guide. Even going as far as to give me the backstory for some of the artifacts and impressive rooms we passed.But I was too wary to probably enjoy the tour. I knew Alisa didn’t like me so I spent the better half of the tour worrying about why she volunteered to be my tour guide and what exactly she had planned.But as time went on and she didn’t pull any nasty surprises I actually started to enjoy my

    I smelt the shadow before I saw it coming towards me. It smelt like rotten eggs and full sewages. It took all I had not to gag as my heightened senses were flooded with the nasty smell.I saw the black shadow looming ahead of me, come closer and my heart started racing. I knew I had to keep calm so I could think and act clearly.The shadow got nearer and nearer. The closer he got, the more I tried to prepare myself for the inevitable.When the shadow finally came into view, it was a wolf.The slight bolt of relief I felt upon discovering it was a wolf soon vanished as the wolf came into full view.It was very massive. Big in the way only powerful wolfs could be. Its fur was black like obsidian and it was covered in wounds. Small cuts, open sores, and badly healed scars. It looked absolutely terrifying.I wondered if it was a rogue wolf, which had gotten lost or barely survived a fight. But when I looked into its piercing golden eyes, there was nothing human in that gaze. No it was pu

    I looked at Arnou in blatant surprise. I had not yet agreed to be his Luna, so to be invited to the meeting was a privilege.“Why do you want me to attend the meeting?” I asked surprisingly.”“That’s because I might need you to describe what happened in detail. That way we can create a detailed plan according to your description.” Arnou replied.“Oh alright.” I replied.We all left my room and moved towards the meeting room Alisa had showed me earlier during the tour.I was bone tired and I still felt a dull pain where my flesh tried to knit itself, but I put on a brave face and followed them into the meeting room, limping a bit.Some officials, several of whom I had met earlier in the day, were already waiting for us in the meeting room. Herley was also in the meeting room, I schooled my face not to show shock. Now I understand what Alisa meant when she said Herley was greatly valued by Arnou. I mean in my former court, females were not allowed to attend such high ranking meetings

    New chapter 12I watched Alisa get up from the sofa and stomp towards me. I swear this bitch was obsessed with me.I couldn’t think of a single thing I could have done to make her furious.I made a quiet resolve to simply ignore her and go straight to my room.Alisa started yelling before she got close to me.“You stupid girl, who exactly do you think you are?”I’m a very tired woman who just wants some sleep but I kept my response to myself.I walked past her trying my best to get to my room, but Alisa was not having it.She pulled me back by my arm and spun me around to face her. “Let go of my arm, I’m not interested in your drama.” I said with irritation as I pulled my arm back.“Oh please stop acting like you’re all innocent. Only a coward like you would go behind my back instead of confronting me.” Alisa said crying with anger.“Okay its official this woman has lost it”My wolf said in anger. She was tired and annoyed; I mean there’s only so much harassment a she-wolf can take i

    Chapter 13I looked up at Herley in mild confusion, but I dropped the pastry. I stretched out my hand to pick up a donut but she stopped me again.“Not that one, it’s prepared specially for Arnou.” I scoffed in annoyance but I kept my hands to myself. Arnou noticed our strange exchange and looked curiously at Herley.“Herley, what exactly would happen if someone else eats from the pastry that was prepared for me?”Herley blushed a bit and said.“Nothing exactly but it was prepared for you.”“Well since it’s mine. I’ve decided Daciana can have from the pastry if she wants.” Arnou said with a small smile.I flashed Herley a triumphant smile and picked up the initial pastry I had selected.I looked around Arnou’s office and noticed how sparse the decoration was. He had no personal items in his office and the décor was mostly beige.I stared around while eating my pastry.“Do you like it?” Arnou asked me curiously.Honestly I wasn’t a fan of moody colors but I wasn’t about to tell Arnou

    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

She was supposed to have some time to name her babies and hold and say goodbyes and…and…I pushed a trembling Alisa from me blindly as I crawled toward the burning figure in the middle of the dungeon.She didn’t even scream!Loud roars of anger resounded throughout the room as the Lycan sped into the dungeon and went straight for his burning wife.How could she do this?She burned brightly, with the flames so hurt that they charred my skin as I crawled towards her.As I screamed, cried, and sobbed, I vaguely registered someone wrapping their arms around my waist to keep me from reaching her.They didn’t have much success with the Lycan as he ran headfirst into the fire like it was water and held onto his burning bride.As I cried, I realized where the air should have been fil

    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.

    Chapter 220Daciana’s POVIce flooded through my veins as I gave into the darkness. I was gone, drifting afloat in the darkness.Was this how Eva had felt? Was this how she had lived for months? 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
