Her Selected Mate

"Have I ever told you how good you taste?" Carlo purred.I rested my head on his toned stomach and traced my fingers over the muscles outlined there.It was no surprise to me that he had such rock hard abs. With how long he had spent training to become one of the soldiers in my army. It would be even more shocking if he didn't have them."Only a million times." I teased as I sat up to look at him.I couldn't help but appreciate how good Carlo looked half naked in my bed. His red hair caught the light making the colour look even more pronounced. His green eyes were the prettiest shade of green I had ever seen. So clear and so pure.I let out a sigh wondering how I had gone from being childhood bestfriends with Carlo to having him in my bed twice a week for hot makeout sessions."This is the last time." I told him sternly.Of course even I didn't believe myself. It always happened this way. I would tell myself that I would never end up in this position again and next thing I know Carlo

"She's crazy. I'm not doing this." One of the suitors from the Western pack spoke in outrage.I looked him up and down examining his scrawny figure.No matter. He didn't look like much of a match anyway.One down."Fair enough." I spoke casually before turning to nod at Uncle Jackson.He stepped foward to address the man. "Western pack, take your stuff and leave our territory. Congratulations, young man, you've singke handedly disgraced your entire family. Consider yourself exiled from the factions for disobeying a direct order from your Luna."His eyes widened and I saw him try to step forward."This is insane, you can't do this!"Uncle Jackson signalled for my guards to grab him and his people."I am Luna. Make no mistake, I can do whatever I want." I spike coldly wanting all of them to get the message and get it fast.Uncle Jackson came to my side and smiled in approval as the Western pack yelled and protested as they were all dragged away."Are you sure about this order?" He asked

You need to calm down Harper. Elle spoke.Her voice louder than ever now that I was in my wolf form.I let out a loud howl as I felt my paws beating on the ground, the wind zipping past me as I ran faster and faster as if this would make my problems disappear.How dare he? Daniel Thorpe, showing up at my mating ceremony. What the heck made him think he could do that after betraying me? After all this time?Maybe he has a good reason. Elle tried to reason.I scoffed. Yeah, right.I knew the only reason Dan could be here was tp distract me. To pull my focus and concentration.I stopped and shut my eyes picturing my father's body in these very woods.It could have been the Thorpes this entire time. I thought back to the smug look on Daniel's mother's face. Greta Thorpe had always despised me and my family.I wouldn't put it past her to have orchestrated my father's death. I wouldn't put it past him either.But... he once loved you. Elle reminded me.I thought about how he had looked at m

"That was not a good reaction, kid." Uncle Jackson sighed as he appeared in front of me after the meeting. I had retreated to one of the towers that overlooked the gardern. I wanted to clear my head but unfortunately all that played through my mind was how significantly I had fumbled that meeting. I had lost my cool and acted emotionally when confronted. What had I been thinking defending Dan back there? If anything I should have supported the suggestion of throwing him and his mother out on their asses. So why hadn't I? I have an answer to that but you might not like it. Elle sang in my head. Sush it. I told her. I needed to do better. Police my emotions better and leave the past in the past. For goodness sake, I hadn't even defended Carlo as much as I had Dan. Carlo... The three little words he had blurted out to me spun in my head. 'I love you.' Damn him, ambushing me like that. What we had was never supposed to cross the line past casual hookups. We were childhood f

I tied my hair up making sure to brush all the wispy strands from my face.I sent away all the maids but I know they'll have a heart attack when they see the hair theyvhad spent hours brushing and styling up in a bun instead.I smooth out the maids outfit I stole from Evangeline hoping she wouldn't notice as she's out sick today.I look at myself in the full body mirror in my room and I look almost like a stranger. None of the royal regelia on me. Absolutely no make up. I'm a no body.Something I once wished was true. Something I sometimes still wish was true.I check the time and know I only have two hpurs max. Maybe less.I'm still queen Luna. Even though I have tendencies of diappearing once in a while, my royal guard will eventually notice my absence.And let me not forget, some of the men doing this challenge might surely not be well versed with the Naverene forests or any forests in general. But they're still those like Carlo who grew up training there. He will navigate the wood
