JUNE

When Sage turned and walked away, the courtyard seemed to inhale again. Only then did I realize I had been holding my breath.

No one spoke.

Even the usual shifting of fabric had stilled, as though movement itself might call him back.

Danger clung to the air long after he disappeared beyond the archway. And one unfortunate contestant had already tasted it.

"Miss Jasmine," Adeline's hand rested in the air like a polite student who asks questions when a teacher is done with class.

I scoffed,

  • HOW TO CONQUER THE KING OF THE WEREWOLVES    Chapter Forty Five

    KILLIANJake had compiled everything on Greyworth. Nothing seemed suspicious. He had served in the council since my father’s days, steady and reliable. Seven children in total, six boys, and a daughter currently in Warding, likely preparing to become my haram. The numbers alone meant nothing if the right threats were hidden beneath calm appearances.“Another party?” Jake’s voice carried the slightest edge of frustration, but his eyes flickered with caution.“Did I stutter?” I leveled him with a death stare that silenced the room. My gaze was sharp enough to make the blood drain from the cheeks of lesser men. Jasmine had just delivered the weekly updates, and I knew this was the perfect cover to be near Warding without raising suspicion. While Blaise indulged in his amusements, I would handle mine.“Inform Jasmine. A party for the three top-winning contestants,” I commanded. My tone left no room for argument.“Am I going to stomach another slap again?” Jake muttered, his voice tight as

    JUNEAs if under a spell, the ladies moved around with notepads and pens. I didn’t need a seer to know what this was for.The past few days had been funny. No one had time for conversation; every girl scribbled furiously, pouring her heart onto paper."Shit! A mistake!" one of the ladies yelled, tearing the page from her notepad. Her hands trembled as she crumpled it, teeth clenched, eyes darting to see if anyone noticed. The paper slid to the trash bin with a soft crinkle, drowned by the murmurs and scratching of pens around her.Another smiled widely as she reread her words, using her sleeve to dab at forming tears.I scoffed and walked faster, only to be met with another chaotic scene. This one was the craziest yet: a dictionary lay open on the floor, surrounded by scattered novels. One girl narrated while the other scribbled furiously."It’s not eloquent enough," the girl writing said, raising her head. "We should use something less cheeky," she suggested. The other nodded.Gods…

    JUNE"You're only saying that because you're jealous the Lycan King chose to favor us instead."I scoffed, stomach tightening.Turning back, I froze for a split second. There it was, a dark, sticky smear across the floor, crimson and glistening."And what's that disgusting red stain behind you?" Anna's voice cut through me, sharp and cruel.My jaw clenched. Heat surged through my chest, my hands trembling just enough to betray me."I can never be jealous of a cheat," I said, stepping closer to Adeline, forcing my voice calm but deadly. "As for the red stain behind me, Anna… if you don't want me to squeeze you into a tissue to wipe it off, you better stay quiet."Anna flinched, blinking rapidly, glancing at Mariel for support. Mariel's lips parted as if she had a retort, then snapped shut. Silence hung heavy, and I could feel the weight of it press against my chest."Excuse me, ladies, I have better things to do with my time," I said, walking off, hearing Adeline's voice in a hint of a

    JUNE"What did you just say?" Fiona feigned ignorance, her eyes widening as if her ears had played a trick on her.I sighed, slowly letting go of her hand, my hand dipped to my purple sheets. "I'm sorry," I muttered, this time drawing patterns on the bed."I didn't catch that," she leaned in closer.I think it’s only right Fiona punished me this way, as I hadn't been really kind to her."I said I'm sorry, okay," I repeated in the same low tone.Fiona pulled herself up into a smile. "Sorry for what exactly?""Everything," I hummed."Everything is not a thing," she replied at once.Lily stood quietly on the other side of the bed, her fingers twisting into the fabric of my blanket."I'm sorry I treated you with disrespect. I'm sorry I raised my voice at you. I'm sorry for intentionally giving you a hard time, and most importantly, I'm sorry for not seeing your worth."She sighed as she brushed her Auburn hair that had been flying around behind her ear, returning to her perfect grace."Do

    JUNEVenessa didn't stay behind to explain her words. ‘Ashley shouldn't be the one you fear, but the person backing her.’I tossed and turned all through the night but couldn't think of anyone with a strong motive to support Ashley.Surely it couldn't be Adeline. She was a queen on her own.But who?I decided to make her say more in the morning and recoiled into the loomness of the night."Who are you?" I asked the strange figure walking in the dark. "Stop there," I yelled, feeling my throat turn dry like a dessert.But the stranger paid no heed and continued moving at an unnatural speed.He stopped inches away, our noses almost touching. Cold radiated from him, wild and ancient."Get lost," I snarled, but it came out weaker than I intended.A claw lifted.It brushed my cheek. Ice shot through my veins, down my throat, across my chest.Then two slow taps over my heart.My pulse answered, and the most terrifying part was that instead of feeling frightened, I felt safe, like I could tru

    KILLIANThe morning sun poured over the palace courts, bright enough that every eye would see me today. Spar day. My domain.Blaise was already preparing, his smirk sharp enough to cut through the tension in the air. Jake knelt beside me, rubbing the white powder on my hands and wrapping cloth around the sensitive points, his movements precise.“I have news, your highness,” Jake murmured, careful.“Go on,” I said, low and steady. Knowing whatever he had to say was something Blaise shouldn't know about.“About the Xian,” he added, eyes darting to Blaise for a fraction of a second.My brows rose. “Have you traced which settlement it came from?”Jake nodded once without hesitation."Tell me..." I began when Blaise's voice rose."Why are you taking longer today, your highness," he said, approaching us with a smirk. "No amount of powdering will save you against my sword," Blaise said boastfully, slicing the air with his sword."You should be the one afraid of my sword, Blaise. It's been a
