Thomas locked me inside a room for the entire day. He claimed it was safer for me to remain there while he dealt with the rogues outside, eliminating them one by one, and attending to our guests.I remained in my wedding gown, sitting on the comfortable cushion in our room, staring out the window. Below, I could witness the fury of the rogue attack.They ruined our wedding."Cina!" I shouted as I saw the head handmaiden entering my room."Where is my husband?! Has he returned?!" I asked immediately, grabbing her shoulders. She heaved a deep sigh and looked at me with concern. "Queen Margareth, please be patient. His Highness Thomas will return once he has settled the dispute with the rogues.""But it's been three hours since he left, Cina! I can't just stay here and do nothing!""Your Highness, he will be alright," she whispered calmly.I found it impossible to remain as calm as she was!"We can't be certain of that! Please, Cina, let me go out and see my husband!"Cina shook her head.

I woke up early in the morning and got up. My heart flutters in excitement because today is a special day. It's my eighteenth birthday and I will be meeting my wolf! I couldn't wait to shift for the first time!Rumors had it that it was painful for them, but I couldn't care less about that part. Probably, it will just be for a second and it gets easier later. A little bit of pain is nothing compared to the physical abuse I get from my foster family. I just wish my parents were here to see me shift for the first time, but they died in a rogue attack a long time ago."Happy birthday, Margareth!" My one and only best friend, Zen, pops out of nowhere in my room and proceeds to give me a birthday cake. I laughed and hugged her tight.She even placed eighteen candles on the cake! What a lovely girl!The corner of my lips formed into a smile as I hugged her. "Thank you, Zen,” I whispered and patted her back. “But you don't have to do this, though," said I while blowing out the candles on m

"What's that scent?" a low growl nearby us was heard. Zen and I were hiding our tiny figures in the garden, but I think we're doomed now. "What do you mean, Thomas?" his beta asked and Thomas shushed him up. The moment I tried to stand up, the Lycan King had already pinned me on the ground."Mate," he hissed and looked at me in the eyes. I was shocked to hear him say that, but I was more shocked by the fact that my mate is royalty. The Lycan King is my mate? No, it can't be! He has royal blood in his veins while I don't have!His fangs were ready to bite me, but I screamed at the top of my lungs to stop him. The smell of lavender musk and the aftershave of my mate enthralled my nose and system. I crave for his touch, his smell, his voice. I want all of him. With all my remaining energy, I pushed his chest and managed to get up. His beta helped me and asked if I was okay. I just nodded at him, my eyes still on the Lycan King in front of me. His eyes glow in red while looking at m

I will make sure my stepfather pays for what he has done for me, together with my mother. They didn’t even look at me when I was dragged away from my house that night. I was screaming and crying for help. “Please… please, please, I don’t want to do this!”“You don’t have a choice, sweetheart,” his beta named Caleb said and smiled at me sweetly. In return, I shook my head violently and tried to get away from his grip, but he just tightened my hold. “Margareth!” I heard a familiar voice of a girl was heard before I got inside Lycan King Thomas’s fancy and shining black car. Beta Caleb halted for a moment and turned his head to my best friend, Zen, who was crying and running towards me. “Z-Zen…” I whispered, shocked because she got here at the right time. Terrified, because she would be in trouble because of me. “What’s happening!” Zen screamed my name, like she was petrified of losing me once she didn’t. I saw fear in her eyes when she looked at someone behind me – Lycan King Thomas

It’s been a week since Thomas proposed to me. Well, calling that a proposal is hilarious. He’s not the type of man who would prepare an extravagant proposal for his future wife, knowing that we are just in a set-up situation. Not that I’m expecting him to have something for me, anyways…“Miss, you barely touch your food. Are you okay?” A young maid asked me. I was having my breakfast alone at this wide and empty table. It’s always like this. I haven’t seen Thomas’s shadows since he gave me the ring, so with Caleb. They are always so busy.“Huh? Y-Yeah, I’m o-okay. Do you think Thomas will come home tonight?”The girl blushed at the mention of my husband’s name. “I d-don’t know, miss. Perhaps you want to call his office?” she suggested. My eyes bulged out and I immediately shook my hands in front of her. “No, no, no worries. I’m good.”“You’re his wife, miss. I think Your Highness Thomas would understand if you needed something from him.”“I don’t need anything. Thank you.”She nodde

Lycan King Thomas needs to convince everyone, even in his own household, that we love each other. He wants the public to know that a King like him is changed. He holds a reputation for being a ruthless leader of the Blue Moon Kingdom before, and now that he has found his mate and is engaged to her, does he think he could fool the public? It depends on our acting.Everyone is watching our move. The maids may seem to be running around doing errands, but they were gaping at us. And so, I do my part. I tiptoed and brushed my lips on Thomas’s right cheek. I felt him stiffened for a second, but he smirked after that.“I m-miss you, too.” I said, a little bit too loud, for others to hear.Thomas’s eyes sharpened, and I have the last laugh inside of my head. He was surprised with my move. In order to not appear it more awkward, I went to the seat and smiled widely.“Thomas? Come and take a seat.”Thomas’s jaw clenched as I said that. He sat next to me. Usually, he sits at the far end of the

I looked at the only friend I had in my entire life. She is hurting deep inside. I could see the remorse and hatred that reflected in her eyes. And it hurts me, too, knowing that I was the reason why she was feeling that.Zen took a step backwards until she disappeared from my sight.My chest hurts so much that I started grabbing the fabric of my dress and clenched it.“I’m so s-sorry, Z-Zen…” was all I murmured to myself. “I didn’t mean it,” I whispered and sat on the ground. It was way too much.The raging feeling that I felt for Thomas, for my stepfather, to my family who was supposed to protect me from abuse – but is the one who sold me to them.And to my sister who ran away from home.A pitter-pattering sound was heard on the wooden roof of the gazebo. I was standing outside, so I felt the cold damp of the raindrops against the flesh of my skin. The weather must have felt my emotions. A thunder strikes the ground, causing me to jump to where I was standing.Someone shouted my na

The morning after that, I didn’t see Thomas. I ignored the heart-shrinking moment that I felt and diverted my attention from getting better. In the afternoon, I get up on my bed to have my lunch in the dinner hall. I saw Caleb talking to Cina. As I walked past them, he stared at me while Cina was still talking in front of him.I sat on the chair and one of the maids accompany me to have my lunch. I was eating when he grabbed the chair beside me and sat next to it. I didn’t look at him, not until he put a picture of Zen together with her mother.I looked around, shocked, because why are we talking about this openly? Someone could possibly see the picture! This is supposed to be a secret between us. Gosh, this man has no fear…He leaned in and whispered, “Now you can stop worrying about your friend.”I felt relieved after he said that. Looking back at the picture, I saw Zen in her mother’s arms. It sent me waves of voltage running through my veins. I smiled at Caleb.Later that night

"Is it true, Tanya?" I pressed, my voice trembling slightly. My stepsister stood before me, her eyes wide and shimmering with unshed tears."Of course not, Margareth! I swear it isn't true! How could you think that of me? You're not just a stepsister to me, and you know that! You are my sister in every way that matters," she whispered back, her voice cracking under the weight of emotion. A flicker of hope sparked in my eyes, brightening them. "Really?" "O-Of course, Margs. Remember those times we twirled in front of the mirror, laughing until our stomachs hurt? Goddess, how I miss those moments!" Her whisper was a gentle brushstroke of the memory.My eyes watered as I looked at her. "I miss you.""I miss you too, sister. Look at you, all grown up," she said, her gaze sweeping over me.As she neared, her eyes flicked briefly to Thomas, who still held a protective grip on me.She dipped her head respectfully at him. "Lycan King Thomas..." she whispered, her tone imbued with a mixture

My schedule has been so hectic for preparing the wedding. I was busy commanding the handmaidens for the bouquet and all things. The list of tasks seemed endless: finalizing the menu with the caterers, choosing the perfect music playlist, and ensuring every detail of the decoration matched our theme. Amidst all this, I had to find time for dress fittings and makeup trials. "Your bride looks so beautiful, Your Highness," the wedding coordinator remarked, her voice echoing in the opulent fitting room. As I stepped out, Thomas's gaze met mine, a look of sheer admiration etched on his face. His jaw moved, his eyes fixed on mine, and my heart leaped for a second. "Yes, she is," Thomas replied, his voice a mixture of pride and affection. In the background, I heard Beta Caleb's light scoff. "Is this the last gown?" he asked to the sales lady. Her cheeks flushed and nodded at the beta. "We will take it." Thomas declared with a decisive air. He adjusted his tie and rose from the couch, his

"Who sent these bouquets, Cina?" I asked the head handmaiden in front of me. I was lying in the comfort of my bed. It has been three days since that rebel attacked me. My husband has been busy the past few days reporting to the pack that our wedding day will be moved.I could not even stand. My body felt so sore after Michel attacked me. I'm only using a wheelchair if I want to stroll around the resort, with Cina nursing me."It was from Your Highness Thomas, miss. How sweet of him!"I smiled bitterly at the old lady and laughed. "Really?"She looks confused. "Why? Aren't you fond of white lily flowers, miss?" Cina asked me. I chuckled at her, "I love any color as long as it's lilies, but I am more fond of yellow lilies.""Hmmm, maybe Your Highness Thomas doesn't know about that."I was about to reply when my husband stayed inside the room. "Yellow lilies, you say?" He whispered and put the bouquet of yellow lilies. I saw Beta Caleb coming inside after him and putting another five!Fi

I don't want to be rude to him, so I let him do whatever he wants to do. Besides, he said that he's a tourist so he must be paying to stay in this resort. He removed his shirt and dove on the pool while I was enjoying the shade of sunlight sitting on my pool lounger."I know who you are," I heard Michel's voice while he wraps his arms around the gutter of the pool. Glancing at him through my sunglasses, I furrowed my eyebrows. He continues speaking. "You are the future Queen of the Blue Moon Kingdom," he noted and nodded at me. I guess everyone knows that, huh."As the future queen, do you know your role and responsibilities?" he asked a random question. I bit my lower lip and think about his question. "Of course, I know.""Tell me, then," he challenged me."Uhm, serve my husband by learning how to cook in the kitchen. Provide emotional well-being to him as he is stressed with managing the pack and - " He cuts me off with a laugh. I was insulted! "It's clear that you don't know

I didn't notice I fell asleep in the other room and woke up because my mouth ran dry. As I was on my way towards the kitchen, I saw an illuminating light coming from a room. The door was open, and inside of it, I saw and heard my husband and his beta having a deep conversation."Your Highness, there are more rebels captured in the pack. I hate to admit this, but they are getting out of hand. How long do you plan to stay in this resort?" Beta Caleb explained to his boss, his eyebrow scrunching while showing the screen of his iPad.I was curious and hid in the wall. They were too immersed in their talk that they didn't notice me. On the screen of the iPad, I peeked and saw a raging fire in the Blue Moon Kingdom pack!What the hell?! Why are they protesting?! There were holding placards and torches, even a child was holding a placard while carrying his cat.Poor baby..."How many rebels are captured last night?" Thomas asked in a dangerous voice."Two hundred and twenty, boss.""Damn it!

James put down his camera and sighed. “Sir, can you turn the corner of your lips upward? Give us a smile, please.” James smiled at him and nodded at me. “Please help your husband have a comfortable position, Miss Margareth. Thank you.”I heaved a deep sigh and looked at Thomas angrily. “I thought you wanted them to think we’re in love. What are you doing right now, Thomas?”“What?” He acts as if he doesn’t know what I’m telling him. “I’m already in this fucking weird position, Margs. What do you want me to do?”“Smile, Thomas! I just knew based on the crew’s faces that they were terrified to take a picture of you, because you look like you’re killing them in the head!”“You’re right. I wanted to. They were looking at you way too intensely.” He murmured, but I could hear it because we were close to each other. “What the hell? Of course, they do! They’re photographers, Thomas! They’re going to analyze my stance, my position, and angle!”“Shut up. I could hear their thoughts right now.”

That night, Thomas and his friends held a mini celebration. I didn’t recognize their faces because it’s all foreign to me. He summoned me to stay in my room, and that I should not get out of there. I obeyed his order with pleasure because I don’t want to go downstairs and meet his friends anyways.However, they were too loud. I couldn’t sleep. My eyes feel heavy, still, I couldn’t sleep in the comfort of my bed. The door flew open, and I smelled Thomas’s signature perfume and the heat of his gaze. He walks towards me in heavy footsteps before locking the door in my room.I sat up straight and pull up my bedsheet, glaring at him. “What are you doing in my room?”He smirked. “This is my house. Am I not allowed?”“Yeah, but you’re supposed to sleep in your room, which, is next to mine.”“Who says I’m sleeping?” He laughed erotically. I don’t know if he’s tipsy or drunk. I couldn’t imagine him being drunk because he doesn’t look like the alcohol will devour him. Or possibly, he intention

“You’re insane!” The other woman laughed at her friend. I heaved a deep sigh and went outside the cubicle when I heard their heels clicking away. Not only the maids in the mansion, but those women pity my situation, too.I reapply my lipstick and plump my lips more, looking at the reflection in my mirror. Does it really reflect on my facial expression? Do I look that gloomy? I hate it more when people pity me.I was about to go out in the comfort room when a familiar face from my pack appeared in my sight. I gasped when I saw her. “M-Megan…”She was waiting for me outside, and when she saw the signal, she immediately grabbed my hair and started walking. “Hey!” I screamed at her, pushing her hands off from my ponytail.“What the hell, Megan!” I shouted because she keeps on grabbing my hair as we walked. Megan is way too powerful than me so she could drag me anywhere she wants.“Megan! Stop!” Damn it. We already acquired too much attention from the people around us. Some were eyeing an
