Scarlet's POV:
"What did you say, Harriet?" I voiced, sitting up on my bed. "That... that there is a rumor, my lady. About... about a girl... that the king brought to the pack." Harriet stammered, kneeling down before me. Standing up, I asked, "The king brought a girl to the pack?" "Yes, my lady." "And where is this girl?" "She's at the underground room." I walked around my room slowly, taking in the information my personal help had just passed to me. The king isn't one to just bring any woman to the palace, if he did that... then it means she's important to him. The question now, is.. how important is this woman to him? I can't have anyone lady been so important to him. "And what those these rumors say about who she might be to the king?" "That she might be his Luna." Harriet replied, staring down at her feet. What? Luna?? No one owns that position, except me. I am to be his next Luna, and no one else. "Take me to her." I instructed, already walking out the door of my chamber. "What, the king specifically ordered that no one should go there." Harriet voiced, running after me. "Well... my dear Harriet, I am not no one. And what? Is not like he would kill me." I responded, walking even faster. "Of course not, but he would kill me." She cried out. I halted, and turned around to stare at her. "Oh my goodness, thank you my lady. Now please let's head back before anyone sees us." She passed across hastily, beckoning on me with her hand. "I stopped because I do not know what turn I should take next. Harriet, you have to be in front of me." "What?" She let out, surprised. "Come on, lead the way." I gave her a slight nudge on the shoulder. "Yes, my lady." She shook her head sideways, "I celebrated to quick." Harriet walked in front of me, leading me to the unknown girl's room. We passed through a long hallway, then a flight of stairs leading to the underground. Harriet finally stopped in-front of a door, then turned to me, "This is her room, my lady." Without wasting time, I barged into the room opening the door wide. "So-" The words I was meant to say after that, got caught up in my mouth. Why? I was caught off guard by her beauty. Who in the world has white hair, and her eyes... blue, ocean blue. She had all the right curves in the right place, and overall... she looked like a goddess. "Don't tell me you are smitten by her beauty, because I am too." Harriet whispered to me. "Who are you? And why are you in my room?" The unknown lady asked, her eyes staring at me intently. I felt intimidated. What? This is supposed to be the other way. I am supposed to be intimidating her! "Scarlet, King Wilder's fiancée. Soon to be Luna of Nightshade pack." I answered, making sure I stood tall and appeared confident. The lady folded her hands below her boobs, her eyes taking in my entire length as she walked over to me in slow, threatening steps. "So?" She asked, having a calm demeanor. "What? So??" I let out, surprised by her nonchalant attitude. "How dare you—" "LISTEN HERE!" She yelled in my face, cutting me off. "I don't care who you are to Wilder Reagan. But you see, I plan to have sex with him in the nearest future. And you are not coming in-between that." Sex? What in the world is she saying? "You... you.. want to have sex, with my fiancée??" I stuttered still unable the words she was sprouting out of her mouth. "Yes. And that is why you can't be his fiancée." She responded simply. "How dare you!" I yelled, raising up my hand ready to slap her, but she was quick to hold my hand. I staggered back ward, gasping in shock as her head lit up in blue fire. She walked to me in slow steps, and I move backwards even more, then I tripped and fell to the ground. "My lady." Harriet called out, trying to help me to my feet. "Step away from her!" The lady ordered in a loud voice, her hands lighting up in blue flames, just like her head. Harriet moved away in fear. The lady lowered herself before me, her burning face right in front of mine. She tutted, "tell me, what should I do with you?" "What?" I let out, my chest heaving up and down in a fast rhythm. "You see Scarlet..." She drawled, caressing my hair softly. I stared at her with rapt attention, shocked that her blue fire wasn't burning my hair. "I do not like to share what is mine. And Wilder Reagan, is mine." "Let's go, my lady." Harriet said hurriedly, raising me up with her hands and together we ran out of the room. "That girl is sick! She's sick!" I shrieked, as we walked up the stairs. "She's sick and frightful." Harriet agreed, walking hastily behind me. What? Wilder Reagan is hers? Who the hell made it so. "I need you to get me informations, on her. I need every single information you get, Harriet, leave nothing out." I instructed, and she nodded, "Yes my lady." "I will go see the king, so be on your way." I informed her. "Of course— what! You want to see the king??" She questioned, halting in shock. "Yes, I need to know my position is not be threatened by some unknown girl." I responded, already walking in the direction of the throne room. "Uhm... I don't really think—" "Then don't think, Harriet. Just do what I had instructed you to do." She stared at me in an unsure manner, then bowed and said. "Yes my lady," She walked in the opposite direction, while I continued my journey to the throne room. "What do you want, Scarlet?" King Wilder asked, staring down at me from his throne with those lifeless eyes of his. Why won't he just give in to the wolves inside of him, and die. "Who is she?" I asked, standing at a distance from his throne. For years, I have acted like I wasn't afraid of him, but I do. I fear Wilder Reagan. And for years, I thought I was the only one who could stand in his presence but I was wrong, there's an unknown girl who is somehow in love with him, I thought I had no competitor, why? Because King Wilder is nothing but a monster. "There's a lot of she's in my palace. You do not somehow think that I know all of them?" He voiced, sitting up straight on his throne. "Be specific, Scarlet. I have somewhere to be at." "The one I presume you are about to go meet. The girl under—" I gasped in shock, stumbling backwards in fright. Wilder had super sped to where I stood, shocking the daylight out of me. "The girl underground is none of your business, Scarlet." He let out in a low growl. Calming my nerves down, I stared at him in the eye... my fingers holding onto the both side of my dress. "It is my business, if she claims the man I am to marry, belongs to her." "She said that?" He asked chuckling. What? Did he just laugh?? "Yes." I answered, staring at him fiercely. Although, I knew he could see through my facade. "Hmm. Well... it is still none of your business, Scarlet. If you don't want to get killed, then I advise you to stop being curious." He stared at me intently, "and believe me, this time around... I won't be the one doing the killing." He cackled softly, then walked past me heading for the doors. "YOU SAID I WOULD BE YOUR LUNA!" I shouted at the top of my voice, my chest heaving. He turned around, and I whispered... "you promised." He grinned. "I guess, promises are meant to be broken." With that said, he left. What? Promises are meant to be broken??Wilder's POV;What? I belong to her?? She's audacious. Audaciously cute... 'Don't you dare touch her! I don't care if you don't have a soul, but the moment you lay a finger on her. I will find a thousand ways to kill you, Wilder Reagan.' In that moment, I was much more interested at the way my name rolled out of her beautiful lips, than the threats she made. I had found her extremely attractive.. I don't know why? Was it perhaps... because she is the only woman to have ever threaten me. Every other lady would shiver in my presence including Scarlet(she tries to hide it, but I see her fear) but Blue, she didn't. She looked me in the eye and threatened me. Ha!"Sire." "What the hell, Hershel!" I let out in shock, as his face appeared in front of my eyes bringing me out of my head. "Forgive me, sire. I didn't meant to startle you." He apologized, lowering his head.I closed my eyes, and then opened them. "What is it, Hershel?" I asked, sighing tiredly.He stared at me for a second,
Blue's POV"What?? It didn't work!" Sarah exclaimed staring at me worriedly. I nodded slowly, "yes. And he was really mad about it." I could still remember the look he had on his face... he looked disappointment, but at the same time he had murderous eyes. "Oh my goodness, what are we going to do?" Sarah voiced fearfully.I stared at her, confused by her sudden worry. "We don't have to do anything. It is none of our business." "Can't you see what's going on??" She asked, her eyes wide open. "See what?" I answered, still unable to understand what she had in mind. "The king, he got you out of your prison because he needed your flames. And now that you are of no help to him, don't you think he would want to return you back to the prison he got you from or send you out of his pack?" I stayed quiet, her words repeating in my head. "But.. he gave Hershel until dawn to come up with a solution." "What if he doesn't?" I bit my lower lip, standing up from the bed. I walked around, as I
Wilder's POV;"Why in the world do I have to marry her??" I asked Hershel, shocked by what he had just said. "Her flames had refused to accept you and that is why the hole in your chest won't close up." He answered. "Explain, Hershel." I snapped, "Why won't it accept me?" I asked further. I need him to go straight to the point, not to say words that I barely understood. "Her flames, it's alive." I rubbed my forehead tiredly, "I know that, Hershel." He had already explained this to me, I don't know why he felt the need to say it again. He had explain that the reason why her flames would eat a person soul, instead of burn the person's body like a normal fire would... was solely because they live. "So... normally her flames would devour on their victim's soul, but because of the mystical wolves in you... the flames actually quenches once inside your body." He explained even more, but nothing he said made me understand why I had to get married to Blue. "Hershel." I called, annoyed.
Author's POV; Perhaps it was the tone in which she had said it, or the fire in her eyes when she said it. Wilder couldn't tell what it was that had suddenly set his insides ablaze, but he knew that the only person capable of quenching the fire inside of him was the petite gorgeous woman, standing before him. Without a word, his hands encircled her waist.. And he drew her even closer, her naked breast slapping against his chest. In silence, with only the rhythm of their beating heart evading the room, he carried her up in his arms and, without breaking eye contact, walked over to the bed, and laid her on the bed. Kneeling down on the bed, he stared down at her naked body. His eyes roamed around her body hungrily, his lips begging for a taste of her. He lowered his lips down to her pointed perky nipples, and once his cold spittle touched her nipple, Blue shivered. He twirled his tongue around her nipple, making it to shoot out even more and causing Blue to tremble even more.His fi
Blue's Pov; "Are you really that happy?" Sarah asked, placing her head on the right side of my shoulder, as she stared at me through the mirror. I looked away, my cheeks morphing into a deep red color. "Woah! Don't tell me the great Blue Flames, is actually blushing!" She exclaimed, teasingly. I hid my face away in my palm, giggling in excitement. "That's enough Sarah, or my cheeks will burst." I voiced, trying to regain my composure, rubbing my cheeks lightly, but the events of last night swarmed in my head once more, and I blushed even harder."You said I should stop, but your cheeks are getting even redder." She commented, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh my goodness! Don't tell me that's what you are actually thinking about—""Stop it Sarah." I laughed out, blushing even more. It is not my fault that I can't seem to think of anything else, but Wilder's hands all over my body, his tongue lashing deep into my pussy, while his hands holding onto me all night. "Where the hell is my
Blue's Pov; Seven days! Seven freaking days passed and the king, not even his shadow has been sighted anywhere around the dining room. I mean- what is this? We had sex, a mind blowing sex! One that I would love to have again, and he ignores me? He goes silent?? Or was the mind blowing experience I thought it was, just me alone? But he moaned! I heard him moan, and his semen dripping out of my vagina tells a different story.Shit!Or perhaps... was it something I did or say? Nah, I don't remember saying anything that would earn me a cold shoulder from Wilder. Absolutely nothing. "Are you okay, your highness?" Sarah voiced, taking me out of my head, and I looked up at her. "Of course. I am fine.""You don't look fine.." She trailed off, staring at my plate of food. "You barely touched your food." She pointed out, staring at the plate of food. I sighed, dropping the fork in my hand down on the plate. "I have no appetite, Sarah." I rose up to my feet, feeling a bit unmotivated. "We s
Blue's Pov; The man turned around slowly, visibly shaking by the turn of events. "You are the queen?" He asked, unable to come to terms with my truth.I released my hair from the tight bun, Rose styled it into, then I wiped off the little dirt she had rubbed on my cheeks."Oh my goodness, it is her." "That's the queen.""That is the woman that married the king.""Yes, she's the one.""But why is she here?" Whispers aroused from around us, as a small crowd gathered not too far away. "Forgive me my queen, I had no idea you were the one standing before me." The bulky man said, going down on his knees. "I should forgive you? Why should I forgive you, when a moment ago you acted so inhumanely to this poor little child." I voiced in disbelief, pointing at the child behind me."I didn't mean to act that way towards him. But I told the child countless times to leave, and he wouldn't listen." The bulky man defended himself, his eyes and knees still lowered to the ground. "Child, why won't
Blue's POV; "What did the king say?" Sarah asked the moment I exited the king's quarters."He doesn't care." I answered swiftly, walking hastily towards my own quarters. "What! How could he say that, the rumors are indeed true!" She exclaimed, matching up to my space." So what are you going to do now?" Her question ignited an idea in my head. I halted, my face lighting up in mischief. "But, do you know what he didn't say?" I asked, grinning from ear to ear. "I do not really love the direction of your question. But fine, what didn't he say?" She responded, her eyes staring at me suspiciously.Continuing my walk to my quarters, I answered,"Our dear king never said I couldn't do anything about it." I smiled brightly, feeling proud of the interpretation I just had. "Uhm... I am afraid to ask. But what do you intend to do about it?" I grinned at her question, and grinned even more on sighting Rosemary. "Just the woman I have been looking for." Rosemary stood before my quarters, and
Blue's POVI showed Wilder all the moves he had taught me, from parrying to sweeping, to blocking. I was pretty sure that at this point I was good at sword fighting now, at least, enough to defend myself. Both Wilder and I went on again with another spar, and although I was very close to getting the wooden sword from him, he stopped me with the tip of his sword pointing at my throat, touching my skin."Ah, I was so close!" I grunted playfully."You have gotten much better now. Way much better. If not for my experience, you would probably be pinning me down right now." He said while I beamed with delight. I love the fact that I was receiving a compliment, and the fact that it was coming from Wilder was a completely different thing. "I have something for you, by the way.""Um, okay." I looked at my wet, damp cloth and shook my head. "I think you might have to let me take my bath first. I have sweat all over me. I need to get out of this clothes."He chuckled."Of course. No problem with
Wilder's POV"Blue, wake up." I mumbled into my wife's ears softly, as I stared at her face with loving-filled eyes.I haven't been able to sleep properly since I heard what Hershel said about my Queen's flames. I could not help but wonder what and how she would protect herself, if she somehow finds herself in a dangerous disruption. "Yes, my love." Blue muttered, half asleep while trying her best not to return to the world of dreams. "No. There is no problem at all. Erm... I kind of had a thought about yesterday..." "Wilder, we talked about—" "I know we did. And trust me, this is for your best interest. I just can't help but fear that you might end up in a dangerous situation-" "And I won't end up in one. Why? Because I have you to protect me." She voiced softly, placing both her hands on my cheeks and caressing my cheeks softly. "Yes, I know that. I will never allow harm to come to you ever, Blue." I responded, gazing into her eyes with so much sincerity. "But... I
(Wilder's POV)My heartbeat accelerated, faster and faster, with every passing seconds as I carried my wife up in my arms, and teleported her to Hershel's workshop. "HERSHEL!!!!! HERSHEL!!!!!!! WHERE IS HERSHEL?" I shouted at the top of my voice, laying Blue on a small bed in Hershel's inner room. I felt fear, I could taste my own fear. Blue said her fire wasn't working, that she could not produce her flames, and the only time Blue said her flames were no longer working, it was because she was poisoned, and was close to the door of death. So is that what is happening? Has she been poisoned again?? No, no, no please. "GET ME HERSHEL!" I growled, my voice bouncing off the walls and making Hershel's students all scared. They all ran out of the workshop with speed, and I rushed back to Blue in the inner room. "How are you? How... how are you feeling." I whispered softly, holding onto her hand in fear.Blue gazed at me with fear in her eyes, "I am fine, Wilder. But... you don't thin
Blue's POVWaking up with a burning hunger in my stomach wasn't my plan when I woke up in the morning, but it happened anyway. I felt hungry, in a way I have never felt before. Because of my flames, I never knew what it felt like to go hungry. I only ate because the food looked good and tasted good, not because I felt hungry. Probably, my hunger is all because of the child inside of me. I can't explain it, but I just know it. I yawned loudly, as I sat up on the bed, then... I stood up and walked over to the window. On opening the curtains, I realized that the sun was already up and hot.This could only mean one thing: I woke up late."Who is there?" I called loudly, staring at my bedroom door. "Yes, your Highness." Two maids rushed into the room immediately at my call, both bowing their heads. "Janice, inform the kitchen to prepare my food. A brunch wouldn't be bad, and you, Racheal, get me ready." "Yes, your highness." They both said in unison, and they both left the room. After
(Blue's POV)"But do you feel any different now? Is the feeling any different from before?" Sarah asked and I smiled.Both she and Rose have consistently been asking me about my pregnancy feelings. It was as though we were both carrying on the pregnancy together. And in a way, we actually were. It is so much that they know exactly how I feel every single day."Not really." I caressed my tummy softly, smiling.It's been a month since I found out I was pregnant with my child, and there has been a wide range of different feelings — from dizziness, to fainting, and eating like a glutton. I mean— I love food, but now... I love it even more. With everyone in my corner, living through it all is not really hard. Especially if the king, my husband, would not stop rushing out of meetings to attend to me. At this rate, the Lords would get fed up."I see." Sarah responded, taking a bite from her biscuit.We were all outside in the garden having a little tea party. I have never really had a tea p
(Blue's POV) I smiled on opening my eyes to a new day, my hands instantly reached out to my stomach as I caressed it softly. I can't believe that I am pregnant, and a child lives inside of me. In months to come I will be a mother, and this is something I never thought possible. A few months back, I was in a cage and I had no hope whatsoever. I believed that I was destined to die slowly and become nothing but a memory to those who knew me. I never thought I would find a new home, and I would be loved in that new home. Wrapping my arms securely around my stomach, I mumbled... "Mummy will protect you. And I will be the best mother you can ever wish for. I love you my child." "Now, why don't we go say hi to daddy?" I gently stood up from my bed, wore a more appropriate gown other than my nightwear, then exited my bedroom and quarter. "Your highness, I was just about—" "Where is he?" I asked Rose, cutting her off. "You mean the king?" She asked, coming to a halt
"I-I think the queen is sick again. She just collapsed in my hands right now. Find something to give her immediately."Okay... I didn't collapse in your hands. Why is he overreacting? I just felt a bit dizzy, and that was all. "Again?" Hershel remarked, taking me off Wilder's arm and putting me on the bed. He placed two of his fingers on my neck, trying to check my temperature. He did the same thing with his palm on my forehead. He asked me to open my mouth while he checked my tongue, then my eyeballs. Going through all of these, he simply sighed."What's wrong with her? Is she sick again? Is it bad? Talk, Hershel.""It is just normal pregnancy symptoms. There is nothing wrong with the queen. Why do you keep rushing her here for no reason? You did this yesterday, and I told you that nothing was wrong with her." A frustrated and tired Hershel let out, "Besides, I already gave her some herbs that would help tone down the pregnancy symptoms, she is really fine, nephew!" "Well, it looke
Blue's POVThe news was out already. The bellman of the Night Shade pack had gone into the pack and announced to everyone about my pregnancy.And now the gates of the palace had been opened to all. I was dressed in an official white royal dress, and Wilder was seated next to me at my right-hand side."Congratulations your highness, I wish nothing but good health to you and your child." Lord Stephen said, placing a small pouch of gold coins on my feet. It was a tradition that once the queen was pregnant, the people congratulated the queen while laying gifts on her feet. A tradition that I have come to love. Growing up, I didn't really ever get gifts from anyone, so somehow... it feels like this whole tradition is giving me all the gifts I didn't get while growing up. "Thank you, Lord Stephen." I responded back, smiling gratefully. Wilder had appointed new lords, and, of course, they were all far better than the old ones. "I know this isn't much, but please accept this your highness.
BLUE’S POV;I lay on the bed, confused by what reason exactly would have made Wilder walk out on me. He was just informed that I was pregnant, joyful news at that and yet… he left?? Is he not happy about it? I thought he said he loved me? Till eternity do us apart, didn’t he think our kids would be part of that love?Sarah was pacing all over the room, carrying a puzzled and troubled expression on her face. She would stop midway, shake her head, hiss, then pace again. It went on for some minutes before she finally stopped and faced me directly."I don't get it. Hershel informed the king that his queen is pregnant and the only way he could react to such good news, was to storm out. How? I really don't get it. Someone needs to make it make sense. Shouldn't the king be happy about being a father soon? Isn't that the normal thing a husband should do when his wife is pregnant? So, what went wrong here just now?" Sarah reacted in an outburst, not caring about the fact that she was talking
