Kira pov"We have a Luna."Lucy announced.I watched in shock as the king walked out of the room. I had come out in the urgency of the emergency meeting.I knew this day would come but a part of me had been resisting it.As I walked out an alarm on full speed, not wanting to break into tears with everyone watching, I felt beta's hand on my shoulders. I brushed it off immediately."Wait!" He called back.I ignored him, making my way out of the palace I couldn't head into my room.When I saw he wouldn't stop following me, I turned around to yell at him, "just because you say I'm your mate, or that I'm heartbroken, doesn't mean I'm automatically going to fall in love with you so please leave me alone and stop trying to comfort me I don't want any of your pity party."I knew my words were mean but I was not in a good state of mind and I just wanted to be alone. I found a spot in the garden and realised that this was a spot that brought me great peace.I slipped down against a tree buryin
I was almost certain that I misheard her and when she saw that I was quiet she repeated herself, “I said you're pregnant.”I shook my head first at her but ,”that can’t be possible.”“I Have been on this game for many years, yes you are and the signs don't usually come this early but because of how stressed you are mentally, you're stressing your internal body.” Lop shrugged. I pressed my palm over my mouth. Could my life get any worse at this point?“I have things to attend to, I’ll give your friend all the medicine you need if you want some but you just need to get some rest for now and you'll be okay.” She said. She was speaking so casually of it that it made it seem like she was being sarcastic. I watched her leave the room and my jaw dropped to the floor.“There is no way in hell.” I told Melanie.“Oh Goddess this just made things worse.”I quickly held her hand and shook my head fast, "please Melanie this has to stay between us nobody in this palace must find out.”“I Would nev
I don't know why my heart was beating so fast as I headed to his room. One of his guards let me in and there he was sitting on his couch, penning something down and so focused on it. I stood there waiting for him to say something but he didn’t bother to look at me. There was an awkward silence and when I could no longer bear it I broke it, “you wanted to see me?” He finally looked up at me and eyed me from head to toe, “are you good?” There was barely any emotion in his tone. I nodded at him and waited for him to say more. He nodded in response, “alright I wanted to make sure.” “Is that all?” He raised a confused eyebrow at me. “What more could there be?” “You have to be joking your majesty, how can that be all you have to say?” He banged the desk hard as he got to his feet, earning a flinch from me. “What am I supposed to say?!” He raised his voice at me, “go on my fucking knees and tell you I’m sorry for marking another woman?!” I had no idea where the confidence came fro
He stared at me blankly unsure if he had heard me right and after a second of gathering his thoughts, he stated ,”what?”I sighed , “I know it seems crazy but I have no other option. I just spoke with the king and trust me I know I'm not safe here. But I can’t leave on my own and need your help.”He placed his hands on his head and ran his fingers through his hair nervously. I have absolutely no idea what to say I… “ he paused, staring at my belly as if he expected to see a child poking out, “ When did this happen when did you find out?”“Today?”“And have you told the king or anyone about it?”“Just Melanie.”“Who is that?”“She is the King's mother's head servant and my friend but I think my secret is safe with her and the servant that had informed me.”“Are you sure she knows what she's saying?”“They say she does her name is lop and..”“Lop, okay she's right okay I need time to think about it." He seemed so distraught, acting like he was a father of the child.“There's no time to t
“What do you mean by he's been poisoned?” I stared at him blankly. I feel like I misheard him.“We still don't know details but …”I didn't let him finish speaking. I pushed him out of my way. But, he quickly held my shoulders, rooting me to the ground. “What are you doing?”“I need to get out of here.” I yelled at him.“Get a hold of yourself, get out of here and do what?”“What do you mean he's been poisoned? I can't just stay if you're doing nothing I have to…”“We'll take care of it on the surface you just stay put.”“I can't I…”“Enough!” He raised his voice at me all of a sudden. “There is literally nothing you can do about it so just stay put and let me handle things.”I shook my head fast , “there is no way in the world I'm just going to let you lock me in you're like I'm some sort of prisoner.”“That was the deal, i'm not going to let you leave now for your own good.”I began to shake my head fast, “how is this for my own good, there is no way I can survive the king is not fin
“You don't know what you're saying, you're only speaking out of emotion, head back into the room when you relax and think things through, Then we can hold the conversation.” Beta said, shutting me out. I began to back away and he took simultaneous steps towards me.“Stay away from me,” I called in a fearful tone.I simply cannot.”“Please,” I thought that being vulnerable would get to him but the strong resistance behind his eyes was just too much.When I saw that he didn't budge. I frowned.“I am Going to scream.” I threatened him. “I thought so.”“What are you going to do to me?” My voice was filled with fear as he snaked one arm under my waist and pulled me close against his body. My hands automatically gripped on to his shoulders . He tightened his grip that was around me until I could feel his hot breath fanning against my neck, “what do you think you're doing? I repeated my question.”He held his hand up and then I felt a sharp striking pain hit my neck.“What did you just do t
Damian “So you are agreeing that the deaths were set-ups?" "It only makes sense, your majesty," one of the warriors reported. "All of the people that died were people that had feuds with the alpha of Blue Blood pack, and it only makes sense that he was responsible for their deaths," another warrior at the meeting called. "I beg to differ," Lucy said. "What about that Luna? She had no connection to him." "There were multiple bite marks all over her body, and we linked it to rogues that must have fed on her after killing her." "Why are you ruling out the fact that she could have been dead before the attack? That it is easier for them to attack a dead body than a luna," Lucy continued to argue. My attention was divided when I realized that Locks had gotten to his feet and was leaving the room. "Is there a problem?" I raised one eyebrow at him. "None, your majesty. I forgot to bring in some reports that I discovered. Permit me to get them." I nodded and watched him leave while my
Internally panicking , I proceeded to kneel in front of her. I placed one finger on the neck, and when I felt the pulse, I immediately lifted her in my hand, realizing that she was trapped in here. I pressed her against my chest and headed to my room. As soon as I got to the entrance, I yelled at the guards, “get the royal doctor.” Natalie sprang to her feet when she saw me carrying someone into the room. "What's happening?" I remembered in that instance that she was a doctor. "Check what is wrong with her?" "Kira?" She gasped. "Wasn't she missing? Hasn't she been missing for a few days now?" "Check what is wrong with her," I raised my voice, barking at her. She flinched visibly. I could see the physical spite that she held for her but she couldn't hold herself back. She immediately began to check Kira's body temperature. "She seems to be running a fever," she said in a low voice, as if she was scared of what could happen. "And I smell a great deal of wolfsbane seems like she
IThe king finally set me to my feet. After a long time of arguing, it felt like we had been walking for miles and miles. I completely lost my senses at one point, but I kept going because I was the one who insisted on coming here. We got to a cave, and it was huge. It was hidden in the mountains, and it could take all the warriors that were present. They only created a separate space for Alpha because he was the king and did not want to share all the space with everyone. He held my hand."What do you think you're doing?" he raised one eyebrow at me. "I'm going to settle in with everyone. I guess we all need to sleep before the big battle tomorrow." I shrugged at him. "Have you lost your mind?" He took me, pulling me closer to him. "Why would you sleep with all these men around? Come on, you're going to stay in the same cave as me.""But do you think that is disrespectful? I'm not your maid or anything. Everyone would get upset.""Nobody's getting upset, trust me.

I remembered her name. Instantly, I knew that she was his previous mate, he had never fully told me the story of how she passed away. And so, I furrowed my eyebrows together, staring at him with a lot of confusion. "What do you mean, Libianca?"He suddenly bowed his head as if the memory of a person was taunting him. “It was like a situation like this too. We were going on war. She was a warrior this entire time. I knew that I should not have asked her to come on that journey, and I knew that she was not strong enough. But my selfishness, because I couldn't stay away from her for even a second. Was the reason why I convinced her to come to the war and I lost her, I'm not about to do that with you too. You're too weak for this kind of work. I'm telling you that I might not even survive. And you think that I will let you come along? What about the children?"“I already spoke to Locks about it and he's willing to take care of them under his protection.”"What.""Yes, that is how determin
The next morning, I was awake before it was even five in the morning. The king was still sleeping in bed, and so were the children.I had made up my mind, and I knew what I wanted to do. I got to my feet and I crept out of the door as quietly as I possibly could. I went to find Locks in the room that I thought belonged to him, and I was surprised when I knocked the door, and he was still in charge of this room.His eyes were heavy with sleep, and when he opened the door as if he wasn't expecting it to be me, he widened his eyes in shock and slammed the door in my face.I flinched, taken aback, wondering what was going on. He reopened the door a few seconds later. His face was washed, and he had packed his hair up. I couldn't help but smile. I wondered why on earth he was trying to look good for me."Hey, I wanted to talk to you. I'm sorry to come and barge into your room so early this morning.""What did you want to talk about?""So I know that you discussed with me about the King's W
I was shocked by Clyde's love confession. "What? What are you talking about?""Yes, that's the problem. I was also wondering why I was being so dramatic until I saw you with the king. The way you were smiling with him. It reminded me that the first day I saw you, I loved you from the start until you gave me that boundary, and I was going to keep it until the very end. But I didn't realize how jealous you've been with somebody else was going to make me so—-“ he groaned. "Trust me, I would still do it again if I havethe chance to.”“I'm not interested in all this nonsense that you're going on flapping about.” “I know it seems like I’m saying bullshit but as long as you're with the King, I will not back down, and I won't give up." I stood to my feet. "Clearly, you've gone mad, and I'm going to give you the chance to heal before I release you. Don't worry, I'm not going to be in this dungeon forever. It's just until you learn your lesson and learn that there are some things that you ne
I was still trying to process what he had said when the children started to cheer they had already heard what he said. "Yes Mommy, please let's stay in this big fancy room." They both started jumping on the bed, playing and giggling at the big bed. I turned to look at him."Why would you say that in front of them? Now I can't say no," he whispered in my ear. "Are you sure you can't say no because of them or because you don't want to?" I found that in the end, he was right. I could easily change my mind if I wanted. A part of me wanted to stay in this room with him. "Fine, but only because the children want it," I told him. "And don’t hold me like that in their presence." I warned him."You two must be very hungry." I turned to face them with a smile. "Yes, Mommy." "Okay, I'll go make you something to eat. Don't worry. You don't have to stress about that, I'll ask One of the guards to prepare something for them to eat.""Hell no I can't trust anybody in this palacs especially wi
"Where is he?" I asked them on top of my lungs, running away from them as if I knew where they would be.They ran after me, trying to keep up with my pace. "They are in the King's room with the king and a few guards."I increased my pace as if my life was about to end.I burst into the King's room, and I saw the children sitting on the bed.The king was still partially in his wolf form. His claws were still his wolves, and his body was still covered. His eyes were struggling, a very bright red. I wondered how the children were not terrified of his image.As soon as they saw me, they jumped to their feet, from where They were sitting and ran into my arms.I crouched to their height as they both came so hug me. I began to cry, checking their faces and inspecting them for injuries."Oh my goodness, my babies. How have you guys been?""Mommy I've missed you so much." Leah beamed."Me too," Leo said, showing off his shirt that the King gave to him."Oh my goodness." I turned around to look
