LOGIN~AURELIAN VOSS~(THE LYCAN KING)Okay, you are overthinking this.He said he needs her opinion on something, it’s just a harmless request. Is nothing to trouble yourself over.Besides Victor said he will bring her back as soon as possible.He won’t overstep his boundaries, he already did that once, doing it again would be suicide.Melody might have signed a contract binding herself to me but she wasn’t my prisoner.‘Are you sure you trust Victor enough not to overstep his boundaries? He already betrayed you once, what’s stopping him from doing it again?’ my wolf whispered to me.I tightened my fists and punched a hole through the wall.My wolf was right, Victor is not the right person to trust.I immediately sent for my Beta who appeared almost immediately.‘Your majesty, you sent for me?’ he asked.I turned to face him ‘Yes, I did. I want you to do something for me. I don’t want another soul to hear this thing I’m about to tell you now’He nodded ‘I understand, your majesty’The word
~VICTOR~I meant no disrespect, I only expressed the reason why I came around so, I don’t understand why he is shooting daggers at me with his eyes.‘I would need to borrow your Luna not for a minute forgive me but for a little while. I’m not so sure how soon we will be done but I will bring her back in one piece I promise.’Everything stopped, servants who walked by stopped in their tracks apparently waiting for good gossip.The guards stood still acting like they were just minding their business when I knew they wanted to know what’s going to happen next.All eyes were on the king waiting for his next move.Aurelian expression shifted from shooting daggers to something completely unreadable.Even with his blank expression, I knew what was going on through his mind.He was probably weighing options on how best to respond to me or remind me of my place.His wolf would probably be pushing him to be violent with me.‘Aurelian’ I called him by his first name.His eyes snapped open ‘The a

~AURELIAN VOSS~(THE LYCAN KING)I clenched my hands as I watched both of them laugh so hard.I shouldn’t be mad but I was.‘It is just a harmless conversation, it is nothing to worry about’ my wolf told me.Yet, I was pissed.I couldn’t take my eyes off the both of them.How easy it is for her to laugh so comfortably with him while she acts so serious around me.I can’t believe Victor disobeyed my clear instructions and came over just to trigger me.From the place where I stood, I could see everything going on between them the only issue was my inability to hear them properly.Victor stood in a corner, expressing something with his hands to make a point.Melody threw her head back and let out a very loud laughter.What is it about Victor that intrigues her so much?My mind drifted back to Selene. Our conversation didn’t go so well.How big of her to come in and demand I see her as if she has forgotten what she did.After I told her that I don’t have time to visit my past, my face fel
~MELODY~She saved his life.He told her he would marry her.Those words didn’t want to leave my head.At least Lady Martha was kind enough to have explained everything to me. Otherwise, I would have been wandering around the palace without knowing what was going on.A few servants standing near the hallway bowed as I walked past them.I nodded in response and continued walking.I wasn’t even out of earshot when I started hearing them whispering.‘If she was lady Selene, she would call us by our names and even gist with us’‘The king was so cheerful then. They looked so good together’‘Whenever she comes around, the palace becomes lively just like today’‘She has the sweetest smile that could melt anybody’s heart and she treated people with kindness’‘I love how she walks in such intimidating confidence’‘Do you think she will become our Luna?’‘I don’t know but I pray she does, but what about our current queen? What will happen to her?’It wasn’t even about their whispering; it was t
~MELODY~By the time I woke up the next day, the king was already gone. I won’t say I’m so surprised though because that has been the order of the day for a while now after the kiss happened.His own side of the bed looked untouched like he barely slept on it, maybe he just stayed on the sofa or something.Things just keeps getting awkward between us, and it is very exhausting.Maybe if we actually talked about the kiss like normal adults, or even remind ourselves of the contract that binds us together, things wouldn’t be going this way.I sighed as I climbed out of the large bed.I rang the bell to inform the servants that I was awake and within seconds they were already in the room attending to me.There was no question in my mind that he is avoiding me. There is no other explanation for the way things have been between us.After I was properly washed and dressed up by the servants, I headed to the dining room to have my breakfast.‘Just do what you came here to do, Melody. Do not c
~MELODY~It was clear to me now.Shirley wanted the king, her mother probably has groomed her from a very young age to take over the position when she gets older and now, that she has grown, I came into the picture.This was just pure jealousy speaking.They are mad because I have what should have
KING AURELIAN VOSS (THE LYCAN KING)Melody couldn't speak.Those words got to her and I hated it.Glances were exchanged between everyone in the room who heard what was going on.Some of them chuckled silently.The sneers, the laughter in the room was enough to make anybody's mood falter.Melody w
MELODY~As though sensing my pain, rain began to fall as I stepped out of the pack.Yet, the coldness of it all didn’t make the ache in my chest hurt any less. I walked aimlessly through the empty street, my hair and dress soaked against my skin. I wasn’t sure where I was going, but I knew I coul
~MELODY~“Smile, Melody,” my stepsister said softly, her voice mocking. “Tonight is a happy occasion, and I have a big surprise for you.”Then her grip tightened painfully around my wrist. I looked up at her, silently taking note of the beautiful silver gown she had on, and the diamond jewelry. T
