Chloe walked into the pack house, escorted by two guards. She had been summoned by Alpha Fletch and she only hoped it had nothing to do with the red moon ceremony tonight. Even after Liam's visit the previous day to tell her about the plan, she couldn't bring herself to pretend to be mated to him during the ceremony. She had been humiliated so much by the pack members and doing such a thing was the last straw. But how could she possibly go against the Alpha or Liam?She was led to the throne room where Liam and his father were waiting for her. "Where have you been?" Liam barked at her immediately after she walked into the room. "Do you have any idea what you're trying to do? The guests would be arriving soon and you look like a mess." Chloe swallowed when she saw the visible anger in his eyes. "I was trying —""Excuses!" The Alpha thundered and she flinched. She knew he had never liked her but as she stood in front of him with her head bowed, she could feel his hatred for her. "Ta
Chloe watched as guests trooped into the pack house for the red moon ceremony. She stood beside Liam who was welcoming the Alphas from different packs. As expected, she had to offer warm greetings to them as well. There were over seventy packs present and about a hundred people who had arrived. Chloe had never seen so many werewolves gather for a ceremony like that in her life. After all, the red moon ceremony happened once in a while.Although she felt important for the first time in her life, she couldn't help but feel different. Everything in the pack house screamed elegance and she knew she didn't belong. Everyone present was either royalty or mated to one. She was the only half-breed and rejected mate in the room. From the corner of her eyes, she observed Liam. He didn't pay any attention to her and often flashed her a fake smile to maintain their plan. She watched as he interacted with other Alphas and leaders. He looked dashing in his tuxedo, while deep in conversation with
She spun around, her dress sweeping the garden, and turned to face the Lycan prince. She sensed the power and authority emanating from his strong body, and for a brief moment, she was lost in a swirl of desire, want, and need. His black long hair and tuxedo shone in the moonlight as he stood beside a tree. As she stared at him, she couldn't help but feel heat rush to her face. Goosebumps crept up on her skin and she felt completely naked although she was fully clothed. His eyes were fixed on hers and she blinked rapidly. She was trembling like she had seen a ghost. "Ye—Yes, I am the future Luna." She stammered quietly. He began walking toward her without saying anything. Although her heart was now hammering in her chest, she remained unmoving in her position. Something about his deep gaze and the shadows on his face pulled her to him. But she also suddenly became aware of how far she had strayed from the pack house and how alone she was. The hall where the guests gathered in th
Chloe could feel her legs tremble as she staggered back. Her jaw had dropped and a thousand thoughts were flitting through her mind. Could it really be true? Or was he messing with her? "Hey, are you okay?" This time his brows was raised with shock as he closed up the distance between them. Chloe felt her pulse rise as he held her arms. She felt the usual tingling feeling whenever he was close to her. Had the moon goddess really given her plotless life a chance? Was she really going to be a mate to the Lycan prince? Why bother herself with all these brain question when the answer was right before her very eyes. Of course Aiden could give her answers to those questions that shot up her spin like a log. But was she ready to believe them? His deep blue eyes reached deep into her soul, to her wolf. "Chloe," he breathed, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ears. "I know you are quite shocked to hear me tell you about such sensitive thing and at this moment in
Emily swung her gown behind her at every instance she got. Her breathtaking steps and angered face could not be ignored, while the maid tried to run behind and catch up with her full hasty steps.“Your highness, the worst is happening right this minute.” This time, Emily couldn’t afford to scream like she wanted to because the ceremony was still ongoing and she didn’t want to draw attention.“What are you talking about, Emily?” Liam turned his head swiftly to look behind him as Emily was already towering over the edges of his chair and that of his parents.“Your highness I need to talk to you in private, please. This is a serious issue.”The Alpha became concerned when Emily mentioned that. He watched her swell and boil from the inside out while furiously taking the heavy weight of her gown behind her. The Alpha leaned closer to his son Liam and settled a long gaze on him…“Father, let’s just go and listen to her. Maybe the matter is an urgent one that can’t wait.”With a persuasive th
Liam’s face became so red and intertwined with anger, all he could do was stare deeply at Chloe who was now crying uncontrollably knowing that what she has done will only force Liam to treat her badly some more. “How dare you? How dare you raise your hands to my face, and you stand there to batter words with me to the point of letting your hands on my face.” Liam was so angry as he walked back and closer to Chloe. “You provoked me so badly. Why would you speak about my family in that manner?” Chloe managed. “You must think I feel any form of remorse or regret about the way I spoke to you, but here is a quick one, I don’t care how you feel, and you know that very well.” Before Chloe could get a chance to bark another word out on Liam, he folded his hands into a fist and was about to hit her so badly. That was when Aiden has seen enough from his hiding place. He quickly came out and held Liam’s hands in the air. “Let go of that girl, you know as a respected prince and future
Chloe's mind continued to rustle in marks of undefeated fear that clustered in her heart region, making her very uncomfortable in her sit, but the bean has been spilled and the entire gathering now knew that she wasn't marked and mated by Prince Liam, a second blow that hit her so hard like lusters of wool. "You all have seen the shame and disgrace which the Creakstone pack display here today, we are more worried and alarmed because the Royal family is the one involved in this deceit." Clearly the seer was more angry, as the words that emerged from her mouth each second carried an heavy effect on it's listeners an absorbers. The murmur and head turning from one side to another increased it's pace amongst the crowd especially for those who didn't know about the information and those who had come from the Lycans pack. "But." The word sounded across the microphone as every where dropped quiet, it was as a result of the way the seer had spoken,
"I want to say something." Finally, the heavy silence that cross the room was taken away by the furious voice of prince Liam, from his expression everone could see how angry he was. "What do you have to say, please mention it to the King and to the entire people sitted here." The seer replied. "I which to object that the Lycan prince, prince Aiden takes my bride. I know she hasn't been marked yet, but I wish to stop him from doing so, being that I met Chloe first and she belongs to me, she is mine." His voice was raised this time and for a second, maybe he forgot that the Lycan family were more powerful and he doesn't have the right to speak back. First, Chloe was astonished that he actually called her his bride, from the very first moment she had met Liam till now, he has never called her anything close to him, all he knew was to bad mouth her and that is why it felt really strange to hear him say she is his bride. "First of all you don't say that a full wo
