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.

    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

    I held the tray that contained enough food for Daciana, Alisa, and I.I knew what Alisa’s preference was but I had no idea what Daciana would like to eat.I had watched her at breakfast, she seemed to like all the food served well enough. As I approached our table, I had to avoid been constantly stopped by the pack members that wanted to congratulate me on finding my fated mate.I knew Daciana was hungry, and I wanted to serve her the food while it was still hot. The scene I beheld at the table made me pause for a full minute. Alisa and Herley were engaged in a passionate conversation, laughing with joy and all. That wasn’t a strange sight, for some reason Alisa and Herley had always been close.No, what made my heart rent was Daciana. She sat there trying to include herself in the conversation politely but was ignored constantly.I would have to tell Alisa to be kinder to Daciana. I mean the woman had left everything familiar to her behind, and followed me across territories tryin

    Daciana’s POVI paused and looked at Arnou in surprise. He asked me to bring out my wolf to play with him. I’m a little bit confused though and I’m not sure if this offer was given to me as a friend or as a mate.“Arnou, are you giving me this offer as a mate or a friend? I asked him nervously.“The offer can mean whatever you want.” He replied softly with his hands still cupped around my face.Eva was beside herself with excitement, she was practically itching to come out and play.“Come on Daciana, you know we like him. His wolf is probably sexy. Just say yesss. Please.”“Shut up Eva.” I growled out in embarrassment.Arnou chuckled a bit.“Your wolf?” He asked in amusement.“Yeah, she’s excited about coming out to play.” I replied, smiling a bit as my cheeks burned hot red.“And are you?” Arnou asked me with a slightly nervous expression on his face. “Just a little bit.” I replied jokingly as I emphasized how little with my thumb and index finger.My joke broke the tense atmosphere

    Oh my gosh Arnou and I were kissing. I could hardly believe it, I loved the feel of his lips on my own.I loved the way we moved together in sync and when his tongue touched my own I felt weak in the knees. Arnou and I were still kissing when we heard someone cough.Arnou and I jumped apart in surprise and saw Herley stood looking at us with a stricken expression.Herley ran up to Arnou and grabbed his arm, wrenching it with force away from me.“Arnou! Come on there’s an emergency. Granny fainted, we need your help, please hurry.” Herley cried out as she gestured for Arnou to follow her.Arnou hurriedly followed her and as they walked briskly ahead of me.I ran quickly after them, I know I saw Herley before and I’m very sure she was spying on Arnou and I.The three of us burst out of the woods behind the office, and Arnou raced ahead of us to find out exactly what was going on.As Herley wanted to run after him, I held on to her arm and pulled her back.“Come back here you scheming wi

    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
