“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 together

Two 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!

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

    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.

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 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

    The room instantly became quiet when the door swung open to reveal Megan standing at the entrance. She tried her best to appear brave and unafraid, but it was not an easy task.The disdainful eyes of Lord Fuhler bore down on her in supreme distaste and the cunning eyes of Lord Aldrien look at her from beneath his lashes. She noticed that Geoffrey was back and from the look on Rhode's face he was clearly not happy with it, and that made Megan furious as she vowed to get to the bottom of the problems she was seeing so clearly on the surface.“You summoned me, alpha?” She asked with a curtsy and Lord Aldrien snorted at the act as he stared at her with his beady eyes.“Oh look, her royal highness understands basic courtesy after all.” He exclaimed with a snide edge to his tone, and she could Rhode gripping his chair in anger.No!

    “So, you are getting married?” Rosetta asked with incredulity and Megan chuckled, yeah she could not blame her ladies for not believing their ears. A few days before she had made a whole ass deal out of getting married and now she was accepting it? She could tell they were confused. But she was never going to go back on her Decision.“Yes Rosetta, I already answered this.” Megan laughed in faux exasperating and Rosetta shook her head in amusement.“Well, my word. What do you think, Bri?” She asked the silent Brianna, and Megan turned as well. She was also interested, Brianna had been strangely quiet and she was really worried. She hoped it was nothing serious at all. But to her relief, Brianna gave a faux sigh.“Oh nothing, I was just jealous is all.” She finally confessed, and Megan exchanged amused looks with Rosetta before turning to give her attention to Brianna.“Well jealous of what?” She asked, and Brianna sighed, and nodded at the ring on her finger, causing Megan's eyes to wi

    Moving stealthily, he gestured for Aspen to follow him and she did. They were both being careful of course. A single step on the wrong branch could alert the growling villagers that she was right there.Funny how she came to end a threat, but was instead now in a situation where she was actually in danger. She shook her head to remove the little moisture from her eyes. She could not afford to fall in fear now. She could do this. She would go home with her baby intact.“Keep up!” Rudolph snapped, his eyes already yellow, showing that he was already healing. And Aspen sighed in relief. She had no need for a weak wolf, ignoring the fact that she was the one to have put him in the position in the first place.“Alright, fine.” She snapped back, her back bent as she made sure she was concealed by the thick undergrowth of the forest.Together they traveled fast, and soon the woods around Aspen were a blur, and she turned her face to sniff the air. She could smell the smoke of the city. They

    Aspen is famously known for her very special ability to make the worst of things. Now she did not do that on purpose, but for some reason it always happens. She was reckless, unthoughtful, and impulsive, and all those things in the worst ways.But as she backed away from these people with the strange eyes that gleamed with feral hunger, she knew that she had made the worst decision yet. Shrinking back, she tried to ignore the stares that Insisted on following her. The ones that cried that she did not belong there with her shiny and fancy clothes. She could see children, wild-eyed and hungry, baring their teeth at her as they let out growls made vicious by the fear of starvation. The public well to her left creaked as a small looking woman with darting eyes drew it open, before flexing a sympathetic yet annoyed gaze on Aspen, and she moved back, desperately searching for her carriage.It seemed her driver had slinked off and left Aspen to her fate, and the thought sent a bitter tast

    For the umpteenth time, he imagined marching over to the kingdom of that weakling and stampeding on his throat, ripping out his teeth and claws, and breaking his legs..He was sure that if it ever came to it, he would take Richardson easily. The male had been timid when Rhode entered his Kingdom for the first time. When he had been introduced and stepped up to Richardson, he had realized his aura. He did it subtly, so that everyone in the room would not know what hit them, and for that brief moment where he studied Richardson, he could see the wolf king groan and bared his neck in a show of instant submission, and Rhode could not help the disdain that ran through him.But Megan had been perfect, she had stared straight at him beside her husband, her eyes flashing in warning, and even then he could understand them perfectly. Retreat. Her gaze told him, and he could not help the smile that covered his face after that. Lunas should not have the power to resist a fraction of an alpha's p

    Due to the recent announcement and the recent self-consciousness she had developed about her person, Megan did all she could to avoid Rhode, and for a while it was working.She ate with the servants in the kitchen with the excuse of bonding and they adored her for it, proclaiming her the perfect Luna. She memorized Rhode's routine and perfected the art of avoiding him. She was on a roll, really.But that all changed when she bounced out of her bedroom, cradling her heavy stomach still carefully concealed with her heavy brocaded gown, and was suddenly accosted along the forest path by her lovely future husband. And Megan could not help the flush that colored her cheeks as he held her hands and his eyes glowed in triumph.“W_what are you doing?” Megan stammered as she glared up at him. Or at least she wanted to glare but she was intimidated by the animated purple eyes that stared back at her.“Megan!” He exclaimed with a small teasing smile.*So you are still alive!

    Aspen felt her world shifting. She had thought, for some reason, that he was only visible to her eyes on the unfortunate days he decided to grace her with his magnanimous presence: note the sarcasm. But she really had not thought that other people saw him. The idea came to her that morning, and despite the doubts, she had wanted to see if she was right at all, and it turned out that she was. Ah hell.“T_the camera! You know him!” She exclaimed triumphantly as she stared at the cook with a disturbing gleam in her eyes. She wanted to go to Richardson the next moment and demanded the head of the cook for being an accomplice in an elaborate conspiracy.“I don't know what you are thinking, young missy. But I do not know that man.” The cook quickly defended, as she stared at the grin on Aspen's face with maximum distrust. But Aspen could handle a little hate. She was not there to make friends after all.If the way to make this strange reporter silent was to silence this cook, then so be it.

    Aspen scoffed as she crossed the hallways to her chambers. She was becoming more and more destabilized. And well no one could exactly blame her. She is being threatened, and now her life is in mortal danger. And not to talk of Duke Elric. Aspen sighed as she thought of the Duke with his extremely dubious personality.Sometimes she thought he was on her side, then she got him staring at her with what was definitely a mocking grin on his face, and suddenly she was not sure anymore.If he was on her side, then why did he constantly see the need to laugh? Why did he only show up when he wanted to without giving her a way to summon him. And what was that amused look he had given Richardson?Ugh! She didn't want to think anymore. It was too exhausting. She somehow ended up more confused than before she started. So it was better to stop.Quickly switching her steps to the kitchens, Aspen hurried over with her head held high despite knowing that she was not very favored amongst the staff. De

    Richardson knew he had screwed up Royally. He only put the blame on Aspen because there was no one else to take it, and she was stupid enough really.It was not Aspen’s fault, it was his for not having enough backbone to stop the left state counselor from executing a plan that he knew could very well be the death of him and his family.He was trapped from all sides, and even the fae people were beginning to show him disrespect, and when that happened, it was imperative to realize that things were bad. Really bad.Turning to the still gasping Aspen on the floor, he could not bring himself to apologize for his actions. He probably was not even sorry he did what he did. He knew that she was innocent, but it didn't stop him laying his hands on her. And he couldn't help but shudder against the kind of man he was turning into. He could remember putting his hands on Megan too. Megan. Felt like she was light-years away, and the distance was killing him.But it was his fault, his fault he lost
