All Chapters of THE ALPHA KING’S SPECIAL LUNA: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Kaiden Tonight's banquet was meant to celebrate our victory in war, a hard-fought triumph that secured the kingdom's power. The grand hall was filled with nobles, warriors, and Alphas and Lunas from across the realm. Goblets clinked, laughter echoed, and music played, yet I found myself only half-engaged. My mind drifted elsewhere, specifically to a certain stubborn woman who was not in attendance and I haven't been able to get out of my mind. Princess Anya stood beside me, her arm looped through mine as she played the perfect hostess, but I knew her well enough to see through her act. Her grip was just a bit too tight, and the way her lips curled into a forced smile was way too similar to her father’s angry grimace. But I did not feel any need to console her. The last thing I wanted was for her to think I would take her ill treatment of my mate in stride all because she was my niece. “Uncle,” She called out sweetly, but I knew her enough to detect the venom in her words. “Yes

The laughter and the music of the banquet faded into the background as i laid back in my throne, my gaze fixed on the now-empty space where Princess Lydia had been moments ago. I watched as the servants escorted her away, her spine stiff but her head held high, and i scoffed underneath my breath. Foolish of her to think when i captured her she could be anything but a slave. The days of her being royalty were over and here she would only be regarded as a property, like the ancient china we acquired alongside her. She was nothing more than a captive, a spoil of war, and she would do well to remember that. "Your Majesty, should I have her sent to the servant’s quarters?" One of my guards asked, awaiting my command. I waved him off. "Lock her away for now. She will learn soon enough that she has no right to negotiate with me." The guard bowed and retreated, and I exhaled slowly, rolling my shoulders. My patience was wearing thin. This night was meant to be a celebration, yet all I co

CelineThe days had changed since that night, and Kaiden made me his personal maid. My duties no longer revolved around scrubbing floors or taking orders from every noble who deemed me beneath them or every maid who wanted to pick on me. This meant less work, less bullying, and more time with Kaiden. I could see that the other maids hated me now that I was almost untouchable and it felt great to not constantly have to look over my shoulder.That was supposed to be the plan.I hummed happily as I carried Kaiden’s laundry basket to the laundry room, which I've been using constantly because of the things Kaiden did to me in the room. My face reddened as I remembered them, but I cleared my throat and hid my face with my hair as I entered into the laundry room.But the sight before me turned my mod sour. Lydia, the princess turned slave, and her minions, the other slaves that felt intimidated by her because she was a princess and because she was Princess Anya's slave.Lydia was beautiful in

KaidenThe council summons came shortly after the incident in the hall, not at all taking me by surprise. Lydia was a princess before I turned her into a slave, and in the order of importance, she was above Celine. And slamming her against the pillar, reminding everyone that she was beneath Celine, was a statement.A declaration.I had made it clear that Celine was untouchable. I had shown that Celine was my weakness.And the council would never allow that.And I was sure Anya had a major part to play in the summons. Anya hated being told no and not getting her way.“That’s okay, you can take your leave.” I dismissed my beta, who gave Celine a weary glance before leaving. The door shut behind my beta, plunging Celine and me into a tension filled state of silence.I watched her as she stared out of the window at nothing in particular, and I was sure if I listened closely, I could hear the gears of her head overworking."You have to leave for the council," she stated, not asked.“They ca

Celine“Are you sure about this, Kaiden? Is it really a good idea to attend Anya’s coming of age party? And as your guest instead of your maid? Isn't that flaunting us in her face? You know she hates me already.” I panicked as I struggled to zip my dress while I stood in front of the mirror.Kaiden let out a small chuckle, looking incredibly handsome as he strode to me wearing his black ceremonial suit. The suit did nothing to hide his muscles, and I hid away my blush as he stood behind me and helped me with my dress.“You worry too much, love. I already assured you it was fine, as a matter of fact, I am sure Anya hates me a whole lot less after all the gifts I got her. I paid a huge sum of money to have her favorite singer here today so this should be the least of her concerns.” Kaiden’s fingers trailed upwards, igniting a flame in me.He placed a kiss on the side of my neck. “You should worry less. I can handle it all, I promise. Trust me” his gaze met mine in the mirror and I smiled
