Chapter 21

As Arlo watched Lune smile, a sense of relief washed over him. He had been waiting for this moment, unsure if it would ever come. The past few days had been a whirlwind of emotions for both of them, and he had worried that the bond between them would feel like a chain to her—a burden she never wanted. But now, as he saw her ease into his presence, speaking freely and laughing at their shared moments, his heart swelled with happiness. Lune was finally starting to like him, truly like him—not because she was forced to as his mate, but because she wanted to. It was in the way she looked at him now, not with the guarded distance she had before, but with curiosity and, dare he hope, affection. Her initial resistance had been understandable; he had thrust her into a world she didn’t understand, and his silence about important things, like the second wedding and their bond, hadn’t made it easier. But here they were now, sharing not just a space but a connection, and it made Arlo’s heart so

werewolvesfew days had been a whirlwind, not just for Lune but for the entire kingdom. The news of Arlo’s sudden marriage had spread like wildfire, capturing the attention of both humans and werewolves alike. Rumors flew in every direction—whispers of the powerful Alpha finally taking a bride had stirred excitement and curiosity across the land. Yet, there was one glaring mystery that no one could seem to solve: who was Arlo’s bride? The fact that Arlo had married in secret only added to the intrigue. Normally, an event as significant as the Alpha's marriage would have been a grand spectacle, attended by leaders of other packs and even prominent human figures. But this time, there was no public ceremony, no announcement, and no photos of the bride to satisfy people’s curiosity. Just the knowledge that Arlo, the most eligible leader in the kingdom, was no longer single. Among the wolves, speculation ran rampant. Some believed Arlo’s bride must be someone from a powerful wolf family,

While Arlo was in his meeting with the elders, Lune sat by the large window in her room, gazing out at the gardens below. The events of the past few days had left her mind spinning. It was hard to reconcile her new reality—the werewolves, the secret marriage, and the weight of being Arlo’s mate. Despite her growing feelings for him, the world she was now a part of still felt foreign.As she sat, lost in her thoughts, there was a soft knock on her door. Lune blinked and stood up, smoothing her dress before heading to open it. She wasn’t expecting anyone and the sound took her by surprise.When she opened the door, she was greeted by a familiar face. Standing in the doorway was Rowan, Arlo’s cousin, who had been introduced to her during her first breakfast at the palace. He was tall, with a lean build and striking dark hair that framed his sharp features. His eyes were kind but piercing, carrying an intensity that always seemed to lurk beneath the surface.“Rowan,” Lune said, a bit surp

Chapter 24

Arlo returned home late in the evening, his body heavy with exhaustion. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of responsibilities—managing the pack’s affairs, the ongoing questions from the elders about his secret marriage to Lune, and the general tension that came with being a leader. He felt like he was constantly on the edge, always dealing with something, always having to make decisions, always having to be in control. It was draining.As he walked through the grand halls of the palace, his thoughts drifted to Lune. She was the one thing that made all of this bearable. Just thinking about her, her presence, the sound of her voice, was enough to calm his racing mind. He had been so focused on making sure she was comfortable, on trying to help her adjust to this new life, that he hadn’t taken the time to be with her, to truly feel her by his side.All Arlo wanted right now was to hold her, to feel her warmth, her softness. The stresses of pack life had begun to weigh heavily on hi

LDownplaystirred awake slowly, the mornit filtering softly through the curtains. As her eyes adjusted to the soft glow of dawn, she became aware of the warm, solid presence beside her. Arlo’s arm was draped over her waist, holding her close, his body pressed gently against hers. The steady rhythm of his breathing told her that he was still asleep, completely at ease in their shared bed.For a moment, Lune lay there, her heart beating steadily in her chest as she took in the peaceful silence of the room. It was still so surreal, waking up next to him like this. The events of the past few weeks had been overwhelming—learning about the werewolf world, her marriage to Arlo, and the intensity of their bond—but here, in this quiet moment, everything felt... right.Curiosity stirred within her, and Lune found herself turning slightly in his embrace, careful not to wake him. Her gaze traveled up to his face, and for the first time, she allowed herself to really study him. Arlo, her husband, t

Chapter 26

Arlo finished his shower quickly, the cool water washing away the tension he’d been feeling since the morning. His thoughts drifted back to Lune as he dressed, recalling how breathtaking she had looked stepping out of the bathroom. His heart still pounded from the memory, but he knew he needed to stay focused—especially with the day ahead. Once he was ready, he made his way to join her downstairs.When he entered their bedroom, Lune was already dressed and waiting for him. She smiled shyly when their eyes met, still feeling a little flustered from their earlier exchange. But she couldn’t help but feel a sense of comfort when he was around, even when things got awkward between them."Ready?" she asked softly, her voice gentle as she glanced up at him.Arlo nodded, offering her a small, reassuring smile. “Yeah, let’s go.” He extended his hand toward her, and after only a brief hesitation, she took it. Their fingers intertwined naturally, and together, they made their way downstairs, the

Chapter 27

After their heartfelt conversation about Lune going back to school, the evening began winding down. The air in their room was warm, filled with the quiet comfort that had slowly developed between them over the past few days. Arlo and Lune exchanged soft glances, each silently reflecting on how far they had come in their relationship. As the night deepened, Arlo stretched and ran a hand through his hair, exhaustion beginning to settle in after a long day. He turned to Lune, a soft smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “I think it’s time to freshen up before bed.” Lune nodded, feeling the same weight of tiredness. It had become a routine now that she went first to shower while Arlo waited his turn. She started toward the bathroom as usual but paused just before reaching the door, an idea forming in her mind. A playful glint sparkled in her eyes as she turned back to face Arlo. “Arlo,” she said softly, her voice light and teasing. “Would you… like to join me this time?” Her words

Chapter 28

Lune woke up the next morning with a heavy weight in her chest. For a few seconds, she lay still, staring up at the ceiling, her body wrapped in the warmth of the bed. Everything felt eerily calm, but then the memories of last night began to flood back, and the sharp ache of betrayal settled in her heart.She squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself to forget, to make it all disappear, but the image of Valeria on Arlo’s legs—their closeness, the way they had looked together in the darkened hallway—was still burned into her mind. Her throat tightened, and she felt the sting of fresh tears threatening to fall. How could he? How could Arlo, the one person she was beginning to trust, betray her like that?Lune sat up, her body tense, and hugged her knees to her chest. She replayed every moment in her head, from the moment she woke up and couldn’t find Arlo, to when she saw Valeria clinging to him. Even though it had been dark and shadowy, the sight had been clear enough. Valeria had been o

As the tension between them began to dissipate, Lune felt a rush of emotions coursing through her. The anger and hurt from the previous night were still present, but they were slowly being replaced by something deeper—something that had been simmering beneath the surface. She could see the determination in Arlo’s eyes, the sincerity in his words, and it ignited a spark within her.“I want to believe you,” she whispered, her heart pounding in her chest. “I do.”Arlo took a step closer, his gaze never leaving hers. The air around them crackled with an unspoken connection, the kind that made her skin tingle and her breath hitch in her throat. “You can believe me,” he replied, his voice low and husky. “I promise you, I’ll do everything I can to show you that you’re the only one for me.”There was a moment of silence, the weight of their unspoken feelings hanging heavy in the air. Lune felt herself leaning in instinctively, her heart racing. She could sense that Arlo felt it too, the magne

Chapter 30

After finishing breakfast, Lune felt a sense of warmth and comfort settle within her. The food had been delicious, but it was the time spent with Arlo that truly nourished her spirit. As they cleared the table together, laughter and light-hearted banter filled the air, creating an atmosphere that felt almost normal despite the underlying complexities of their lives.Once they finished cleaning up, Arlo glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing he was running late for the meeting with the pack elders. “I have to go,” he said, a hint of reluctance in his voice. “I wish I could stay longer.”Lune nodded, understanding the weight of his responsibilities. “I know. Just take care of yourself, okay? We can talk more later.”Arlo leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead, causing her heart to flutter. “I promise I will. Just… stay safe. I’ll be back as soon as I can.” With one last lingering glance, he turned and headed for the door.As soon as Arlo stepped outside, he pulled out
