Kaela's POVLeila slowly shook her head. “I'm afraid not, my lady.”Shit! I've barely adjusted here and I'm already making enemies. And among the highly positioned ones, too.But honestly, this was ridiculous. One second, I was walking with Leila minding my own business. And then, the Lycan king’s sister-in-law decides I'm going to be her next target? And for what, for fainting during a public ceremony that had nothing to do with her? As if I give a damn what she thinks about me!I could still feel Xerathia’s cold gaze, almost boring holes in my back. Goddess, I could feel her killing intent from way over here.I turned to face her, thinking of what to say next when Xerathia looked past me.“Rhaedros, thank heavens you're here, your werewolf bride just insulted me!” Xerathia declared dramatically.Wait, what? Rhaedros? And wasn’t this tramp the one who insulted me first?Before I could speak, Xerathia continued. “Your bride lacks manners, respect and any semblance of proper decorum! W

Kaela's POVI was standing in the middle of a festival clutching a stick of candied fruit, sticky and warm in my palm. Laughter and music filled the air, the scent of roasted chestnuts and honeywell bread mingling with the crisp evening breeze. It was the MoonLight festival, my favourite of all annual festivities. I could feel mom's hand in mine and dad walking right beside me. Everything was going well until the sky bled red.A horrifying roar cracked through the heavens so loud I feared it would divide the very sky. Shadows rippled across the ground as something vast and monstrous whoosed past us. I screamed while other people cried out in fear around me. In the blink of an eye, flames rained down from the sky, swallowing the festival in a giant ball of inferno. Stalls burst into flame as the sellers ran for their lives, their fearful wails turning into choked cries until they became completely silent. Smoke clawed at my throat and I coughed violently. I swiped at the empty air

Rhaedros’ POVAfter what happened at the Lycan Hall, Kaela now looks at me like I'm her worst enemy — cold and hateful. It was a week ago that it had happened yet it seemed like it was just yesterday.Now staring at me, the hatred in her eyes told me she was at the knife's edge of insanity. I swear to the Moon Goddess that if that woman had a weapon, she would cut me in half and make soup out of me. Not that she could do it. Where we were was too guarded, too much surveillance…I stood tall in the grand throne room and watched as she was led in, her delicate form dwarfed by the shimmering gown she wore. It was the kind of dress that looked like it could suffocate a person if they dared to breathe deeply. I couldn't help but smile, just a little. She hated it, of course, but that wasn't exactly a surprise. Kaela had a way of wearing discomfort like a badge of honour. She didn't belong here. I knew it and she knew it too. Yet, she was here — The wolf that had been chosen for me, the w

Kaela’s POVTo be honest, I had expected the Lycan realm to look like fire and brimstone with a sky so thick with smoke that breathing would be impossible. Instead, the Lycan realm was actually disgustingly beautiful. The very ground I walked on shimmered like molten gold, the walls though red, carried giant red and golden banners. It was the kind of place I'd would've admired if it weren't in the Lycan realm.Lycans! Ugh! They were everywhere, staring at me like I didn't belong there. Well, trust me, I know. A low murmur spread through the grand court as we strode in. “That's a werewolf!”“What? She's not one of us?”“Why did His Majesty bring her here?”Aww and I was looking forward to a warm welcome. I guess I'll be heading back now...As I turned to leave, a large, masculine hand grabbed my arm.My eyes flickered to the man. He raised an eyebrow as if to ask ‘Where do you think you're going?’I blinked and swallowed hard. I obviously wasn't welcomed here so what was I to do? J

KAELA’S POVI spent my whole life hating Lycans, now I'm supposed to get married to one? Over my dead body!“What do you say to this proposition?” The royal advisor, Beta Gavin asked, his nose tilted so far upward one might think he's trying to sniff the heavens.I leaned on my broom, my lips twisting to the side, as I tried to make sense of the situation. “So let me get this straight... you want me, a maid, to marry the Lycan King because Princess Lyanna chickened out?”Gavin shot me a glare. “You will not speak of Her Highness in such a manner!”I rolled my eyes and turned to the Alpha and Luna, who sat on their throne.Alpha Xander drummed his fingers against his throne's armrest, his eyes narrowing at me while Luna Isla's expression was a mixture of disgust and annoyance, her eyebrows arched and her nose wrinkled in disgust. Alpha Xander exhaled softly and sat up. “You're not as unhappy as we are but this is not a request, Kaela.”Of course, I wasn't. Nothing in the palace ever w
