2024-10-29 19:42:56“I’ve discussed with the priest, he will see us tomorrow in a private meeting.” Richardson said.
It was really happening. Richardson was divorcing her.Ten years ago“Do you think you would ever divorce me?” Megan asked. They were returning from their law class.“You always ask such ridiculous questions Megan.” Young Richardson said.“I’m just curious. It is allowed so, I was just wondering.”“You’re my mate.” He said plainly, looking her dead in the eyes.“I love you, Megan.” He added. Megan turned red.It was the first time he ever said that he loved her.Richardson laughed at her reaction.“I do love you, Megan. I can’t imagine a life without you so no, divorcing you will hurt me more than it will hurt you.” He said.Present“Okay.” Megan said numb.“Megan…” Richardson said. “You do understand right?”“Goodnight, your majesty.” She wasn’t going to show him any emotion. He didn’t deserve that.Megan left his office and headed for her quarters, it was already past the usual time she retired for the day.“Megan!” Megan froze. She had successfully avoided Aspen for the past month except their almost encounter in the garden and now Aspen was right in front of her quarters.“I had been giving you space knowing how surprised you must feel about the whole thing.” Aspen started.“Surprised?” Megan thought to herself.“I want you to know this wasn’t my intention. It all just happened.” Aspen said, tears pooling at her eyes. Megan didn’t buy it.“I certainly didn’t want to take your husband or steal your position. Ric explained everything, we need this so that our child will be legitimate. It’s for the pack.”That statement was starting to tick her off, ‘for the pack’. Sounded like mockery to her face.“Ric?” Megan asked.“Sorry, Richard.” Aspen said. “I hope you can forgive me, we’re best friends!” Aspen added.That single statement threw Megan over the edge and she slapped Aspen right across her cheek.“Megan! What do you think you’re doing?!” She heard Richardson from behind her.“So it was a trap.” Megan said. “That’s more like you, Aspen.” Megan said looking down at Aspen who was dramatically sitting on the floor, holding her cheek.“What has gotten into you?!” Richardson asked, grabbing her shoulders rather painfully.“Apologize to Aspen this instant!” He yelled at Megan.“What if I do not?” She asked.“If you will not apologize, I will not provide a room for you in my castle after our divorce. Which was my initial plan as we were once married. I will not have you harming the mother of my child.” He said, a slap to Megan.“So be it, your majesty.” Megan said.She looked up at him and entered her room but not before noticing the slight smirk on Aspen’s face.Aspen’s plan was all coming togetherTwo years ago.Aspen had just returned from her shopping in town.Her parents were waiting for her in the living room, viscount and viscountess Bridget.Her parents hated the rule of Richardson and Megan.This was because when the kingdom was transitioning, Megan and Richardson appointed titles to the families they deemed noble.Megan’s parents were titled and duke and duchess while the Bridget’s were titled as Viscount and Viscountess.A title, yes but was nothing compared to the title of duke and duchess.Ever since then, her parents have hated Megan, believing she was biased towards her own family.“Hello mom, dad.” Aspen said and dropped her parasol.“It’s been three years. Aspen still hasn’t provided an heir.”“I wonder if there are some issues with the queen conceiving.” Aspen kissed her teeth.Megan wasn’t any queen. A queen that cannot provide an heir is no queen but a figurehead.“Maybe you can offer to be the king’s mistress. I’m certain no daughter of mine is infertile.”Aspen laughed, “how? I’m not even allowed in the castle. Daughter of a Viscount seeing the queen, they would never allow it! And Megan doesn’t even send for me.”Megan never sent for her because she was always out of the kingdom on some assignment or the other.“It’s alright child, it will play out. Leave it to me.”Was her dream going to become realized? She had loved Richardson since she first laid her eyes on him.Her and Megan were teenagers and Richardson had come to visit Mega with the biggest bouquet of flowers she had ever seen.She was jealous. Why did Megan get to marry the best man ever just because she was a Brighton?She hated that she had to act like she was happy for Megan when she actually wanted her fiancé.Could her parents actually pull something that would make her have Richardson?The present.Aspen’s dream was coming true! She made sure to approach Megan when she was upset and stationed her maids close by so they would hear the commotion!It was only a matter of time until the word spread like wildfire to everyone.Megan was going to know what it felt like to be the subject of mockery with no one on her side!Related chapters

Word traveled fast in the Jared mansion.The news was that Megan had slapped Richardson’s concubine who everyone now knew was Megan’s friend.The general perception was pity for the queen and disdain for the alpha. However a few people thought Megan was rude and ungrateful towards Aspen and Richardson.Megan however, was more worried about how the visitors from the west would take the rumor.“It’s the word around the castle.” One of Rhode’s aides said to Brian who reported directly to Rhode.“It seems that Luna is losing face amongst her own subjects. I almost feel sorry for her.” Brian said.Rhode felt indignant about the whole situation but there was nothing he could do to help Megan here. He felt all the more motivated to convince her to remarry him.His agenda for the day was simple, discuss with her about future collaborations between their clans.She needed her to see him as someone she could trust.Megan got out of bed and got ready for the day. She was wearing a lilac colored

The next morning, Rosetta and Brianna were drawing Megan’s bath when they heard a ruckus outside.“Is that Aspen, what is she doing in your quarters?”Brianna and Rosetta rushed out of the room.Aspen successfully swiped some gold jars from the hallway where Megan’s room was at.When the cleaners reported it missing, Aspen suggested that they searched everyone present.What Rosetta didn’t know was that Aspen had sent one of her maids to plant a piece of gold on Rosetta.During the search, one of the people searching found the gold on Rosetta.“That can’t be right! I’ve never touched anything in this hallway! I pass through it countless times a day.”“Yes! This is a mistake!” Brianna seconded.Everyone present was starting to murmur. Megan came out of her room, hearing the chaos.“What is the matter?” Everyone bowed. Aspen hated it.“Luna, some mini gold jars and trinkets are missing from the hall. Ms. Aspen suggested we do a search down of everyone who frequents the hallway and we fou

Megan left the garden, her mood now sour.The next morning, Rosetta was fixing pins in Megan’s hair when Richardson barged in.“What has gotten into you?!” He yelled.“Rosetta, please excuse us.”As soon as she left the room, “I don’t follow.” Megan said, looking at her reflection in the mirror.“What has gotten into you Megan?! Why are you so bitter towards Aspen?! You’ve changed!”Megan chuckled.“Changed, your majesty?”“Yes! I thought maybe last night would soften your mind but it seems it’s made up!”“I thought you would remain friends with Aspen!”“So you had sex with me because of Aspen.” Megan felt insulted.“Is it wrong? You have clearly been jealous.”“Why bother? What’s the point if I cannot get pregnant? You could have just kept ignoring my needs. I’ve been just fine.”“I see that now. I certainly regret it.” He spat and left the room.A tear slid down Megan’s face.That was probably the meanest thing he ever said to her. She hoped no one was eavesdropping.“Oh, your highn

Aspen’s parents came to the mansion to see Aspen and Richardson.It was the first time Richardson was ever seeing Aspen’s parents with her.For him, it was awkward. Seeing guests with a woman that wasn’t Megan.Aspen would be his wife soon anyway.“Your majesty.” The baron and the baroness bowed before Richardson.“Please, rise.” Richardson said.Aspen was sitting beside her parents. As she was not yet his wife, she couldn’t sit next to him per their custom.“Thank you for having us, alpha. Your castle is as breathtaking as always.” Baroness Bridget said.“Thank you, Baroness.”The air was awkward, Richardson didn’t want to have to see them but he thought it rude not to see his future in laws.Aspen had pleaded with him to see her parents. She wanted her parents to see the kind of life she was living. In the castle.“We just wanted to see the father of our grandchild.”Richardson gave an awkward smile.“It’s good to meet you both, your daughter is a good woman.”“Thank you, your majes

Jason took her to a part of the city that was busier than the central area where the institute was.There was a lot of music and dancing, very different from where she was from.“Stay close to me.” She heard Jason say through the noise.On reflex, she held his arm which made him laugh.“Stop laughing at me.” She said.“Sorry.”“You happened to come on one of our festival days. I promise it’s not this busy all the time.”“Okay!”Jason led her to what looked like the residential area.He led her to an igloo looking hut and they both entered.“We don’t have any hotels around here, as we never get tourists.” He said as they entered the hut.It was dimly lit and very cozy looking.“I’m not a tourist. I’m here on an official assignment.” Aspen retorted back.“I apologize. It just seemed like you wouldn’t have gotten a place to sleep if I left you there.”“I’m sure I would have been fine.” She snapped back.Jason raised a brow.“I’m sorry.” Aspen apologized, “I just can’t believe they left m

Aspen was woken up from sleep by the smell of fresh bread.She got up and traced where the aroma was coming from.“I didn’t know you had a kitchen.”Jason laughed, “I didn’t exactly give you a tour yesterday.” He started.“I’m aware our houses look like boring huts from the outside but inside, it’s pretty much the same as houses in the East.”“Except the outside bathroom.” Aspen added.“Except the outside bathroom. Though there’s also a reason for that, same as to why our houses look like huts from outside.”“Why?”“The water can make the rooms humid.”“Oh. Which can make it more cold?”“No. Which can make the thick layers we wear very uncomfortable.”“That makes a lot of sense.”“It does, doesn’t it? Here.” He handed her a piece of warm bread and a cup of tea.Aspen sniffed the cup and smiled“Tastes even better I promise.” Aspen took a bite of the bread and her eyes went wide.“There’s no way you made this! I could never get bread this good at home!”Her reaction warmed Jason’s hea

Megan was in her office attending to her duties. Duties that would soon belong to Aspen.She remembered spending most of her childhood and all of her teenage years training for the position of the wife of the alpha and future king.Never in a million years did she think she would be rounding up her projects, giving up the things she loved.Megan cried herself to sleep every now and then. She didn’t believe it would hurt this much if her marriage was purely political or if the mistress was a total stranger.It was hard for the queen. She hated especially that they had Rhode Wales and his entourage around.She had her guard up more than usual because Rhode was always at places where only she and Mason’s owner would know.Mason’s owner had never shown up and despite Brianna and Rosetta pitching to her that Mason’s owner was Rhode Wales, Megan simply couldn’t fathom it.

“Does this mean he saw me going or returning from my greenhouse?” She asked herself.“You went alone to your greenhouse, your majesty?!” Rosetta exclaimed.“Keep your voice down. I just took a stroll.”It wasn’t completely a lie. She did take a stroll, just that she had a destination in mind.She didn’t feel like telling Rosetta about seeing Rhode Wales or her nausea which led her there.“Luna?” Rosetta called from the other side of the table.“Yes?”“Brianna and I have been talking and we decided to tell you.”Megan dropped her pen and looked at Rosetta, “I’m listening.” She said, wondering what Rosetta and Brianna wanted to tell her.“We will follow you anywhere!”“I don’t understand, Rosetta.”“If you plan on leaving the cast

“It’s delicious.” Megan said as she took her first bite out of the deliciously roasted venison.“It’s lamb.” Rhode said as he took a bite out of it.The two enjoyed a quiet lunch. Apparently, it was a rule that the king could not eat alone under any circumstance. There needed to be servers with a physician present in case there is a risk of food poisoning.Another thing that was very different from the East.After dinner, the couple walked back to Megan’s chambers. She didn’t show it but she was very glad that she didn’t have to continue with her little charade of being unemotional.She did it for years in the East but the thought of doing it again stressed her. She was grateful that she could be herself, whatever that meant and wasn’t quite ready to take on the role of the stoic queen.She didn’t show it but she was glad Rhode didn’t leave her to her thoughts and assumptions though he was late and she had already jumped into a million and one conclusions.When they entered her room,

Megan froze as he walked towards her, pulling her towards him. His hand rested gently above her waist and his other hand, supporting her neck. She was frozen in shock, at a loss for words. “I’m sorry.” Megan could not ignore the pounding of her heart. It felt like anyone within hearing distance could hear, she was sure Rhode heard it. She stuttered, and she never stuttered, “I don’t understand…, my king.” That did it. “Oh, for heaven’s sake, Megan. Don’t do that with me, not you. I’m not my king to you.” Rhode paused. “I’m Rhode. Just Rhode.” Rhode held her eyes, his deep purple eyes boring a hole into her eyes. She had never been in a stare down before but she was clearly losing. Megan kept quiet, unsure of what to say in response. She was not upset at him for anything he did or did not do but she did have a resolve until just now. And Megan never broke her resolve but a deep purple pair of eyes staring into her soul was making her reconsider her decisions. “Is it somethin

“Never, my lady…”“We would never think of such a thing.” Mary said to Mirabel, eyes filled with worry.Where was this suddenly coming from?Mirabel smiled, “I see. Let us go.”Mary and Lily both looked at themselves before following behind Mirabel. She was acting strangely but they knew to not ask questions. It was not their place to.In her room, Megan was actually surprised at the fact that she shed no tears despite the fact that she felt her heart physically shatter.Perhaps she cried out all her tears in the East.‘I did cry a lot.’ She thought to herself.
The Remarried Luna Chapter 56
Mirabel? Who was this woman? Was he not going to introduce Megan? She stood beside Rhode while he and this unknown woman who looked very known to Rhode engaged in a staring competition with Rhode and he with her.Was this tension she felt?“My king.” The unknown woman curtsied and walked past her and Rhode.“Let us go.” Rhode said to her. Megan was greatly confused but masked her emotions. Was he not going to tell her who the lady was? Mirable, was it? She thought she heard him call her that.He continued pointing out different places to her but if she was being honest with herself, she heard nothing that he said.In fact, she was beginning to get pretty upset. She wasn’t asking for his entire history, she just wished he would tell her about people she would eventually see.Like that girl back at the inn and now this, Mirabel.She didn’t look like a nobody. She was dressed like a lady and had ladies with her.Did she live in the palace? She must since she was in the west quarters.M

Megan turned a very bright shade of red, “what?” She blurted out, flushed. He was flirting way more than usual lately.Rhode chuckled. He admitted to himself that he did things intentionally so he could see Megan turn a bright shade of pink. He loved watching the stoic Megan Brighton getting all flustered.“You always tease me.” She said, plopping down on her bed, pouting.“I’m not teasing, my queen. I did miss you.” Rhode said, taking a seat at her vanity, where he had sat earlier.“I know I’ve asked this before but, how are you? Do you like it here? Do you like your room?” He paused, “Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable?”Megan smiled. He really was mindful of her.“You don’t have to worry so much about me, Rhode.” “I am very comfortable.” Megan paused, “Although, I can’t determine how things will be after the wedding.”“That is true. Nonetheless, I’m sure they would love you.” Rhode said, very sure.“They?” Megan asked, unsure of who he was referring to.“Your

Rhode never opened the letter because he had no plans on ever getting married and thought that the letter would be filled with advice he was never going to have any use for. However, after he decided on his mission to the East all those months ago, he started to think that maybe he would have use for the letter after all.His plan did involve wooing Megan Brighton but a part of him did not believe he would be able to pull it off. She was married to her mate after all.Who would have thought?He broke the seal and opened the letter, met face to face with his brother’s nostalgic handwriting.He had often gone back to reread the other letters, which were helpful tips on how to be king, not that he took most of the advice. He and Michael had different ways of doing everything. It was the thought that Michael put into writing them, despite how ill he must have been that warmed his heart.Michael knew that Rhode would find the box.I’m writing this last because knowing you, you would probab

Brianna did her best to hide the surprise she was sure was evident on her face, “sir Brian.” “Hello my lady, do you have a moment?” Brian asked her. She looked into the room to see Rosetta raising two thumbs to her, giving her the go ahead. “Okay.” Brianna breathed, closing the door behind her. The two walked down the hall and took a left turn down to the palace grounds. “I wanted to see you,” Brian started, “It troubled me that it seemed like we left on a bad foot earlier today.” “Oh.” Brianna said softly. She did not think he noticed. “Yes, I meant it when I said I would like us to be friends. I hate having misunderstandings.” Friends. That was the only word that rang in Brianna’s ears. Were they friends? “I understand Sir Brian. I did feel someway seeing you flinch at me but I now realize that you probably do not like it when people touch you. I should have asked before reaching for you.” Brianna said simply. For some reason she felt really flushed despite the fact that th

Richardson got up quickly from the floor which had been his bed since the day of the divorce. He unlocked the door and rushed outside. He was met face to face with Lord Anthony, his chief advisor.He thought there would at least be a few people at the door but it was just Lord Anthony. The one person he really did not want to see.“Your majesty…” Lord Anthony began. He always wore such a stern and strict look on his face. Richardson could swear that he had never seen him crack a smile. Voluntarily or involuntarily.“Good… day, Lord Anthony.” He said, unsure of what time it was.“I cannot believe I had to lie that something is wrong with the mother of your child to get you to leave your chambers, my king. It has been two d

The sound of Megan screaming was almost deafening. Rhode shut his eyes immediately, “I apologize!” He said, taking a step, then another backwards until he was out of the room. As he shut the door, he said “I promise, I did not see anything.”Inside the room, Megan was flushed. Truth was, she wasn’t undressed or improperly dressed. She was standing in front of her new vanity and taught to decorate her hair with what was left of the flowers. She had just started to realize how ridiculous it looked and was about to take them out when the door flew open.She looked at herself in the mirror, cupping her face, “did he really not see anything?”She sighed and reached for the first flower petal sticking out and laughed at herself. She never thought to do anything this silly when she
