"After this, we will be going to the capital for your dress fitting," Lucretius said when we were on our way to the training grounds.

My heart had already calmed down from his teasing earlier.

I couldn't believe that I had to be honest with him at all times, and it seemed like there was no way that I could tell a lie. Even if it was a white lie.

It felt like Lucretius would easily know if I lied to him or not, as if he had marked me as his mate. I knew that when you both marked each other or at least, the other party marked their mate, they could be able to read your feelings and thoughts as if they were an open book.

Now, I felt like the contract itself had similarities witha mating ritual. What if there was something I didn't know that giving myself to him for the first time had caused him to read me fully?

Was there such a thing? Or was I just imagining things?

"My wedding gown?" I asked casually. That was what I could think of as to why he had brought it up.

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 66: Coincidence

    Chills ran down my spine upon seeing his name. Aurelian...Oh, dear Moon Goddess... How could I have forgotten?Not him...Not Aurelian Valerius...The boy who had once raced me through moonlit corridors, laughing as though the world had never learned how to break us. The boy who became my shield long before he ever became my knight. Who knelt before me on the day my fate was sealed, when I was bound to a mate chosen by prophecy and power, and swore his loyalty not to the Luna title I would wear, but to me.He had never been mine to claim.And yet, he had chosen me all the same.I tried to remember his face, but it was strange knowing his name without having any image of him in my mind.I knew that we grew up together, but how come couldn't I remember what he looked like?"That man," Father continued, his voice reverent, almost fond, "loved my daughter more than anyone else in this world." His lips curved into a sad smile. "More than fate. More than duty. More than his own life."M

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 65: Grieving Father

    I wasn't sure if I had spoken it aloud or if my heart had simply screamed too loudly for my lips to contain it."Father..." The man stiffened. It was subtle. Barely noticeable. Just a pause in his movement, a hesitation before his hand resumed wiping the stone. But it was enough to make my breath catch painfully in my chest.I remembered now.In every timeline I died, I had grown up to be an orphan. And this was the first timeline that only I got to have my father, who shared the same blood as me.Lucretius's hand came to my back, though his touch was light, it was as if he knew that anything more might send me breaking apart all over again. He said nothing. He didn't question me. He simply stood with me, bearing witness.The wind swept through the graveyard once more, carrying the scent of earth and chrysanthemums, rustling the tall grass that bordered the stones. For a moment, the world felt suspended, caught between past and present, between what I remembered and what I had never

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 64: The First Euphyllia

    As soon as we arrived to the Silverfall, I didn't waste anytime to tell Lucretius that we should head to see the borders of the Graveclaw Pride Pack, where the first Euphyllia had resided. Since we couldn't cross the Graveclaw Pride's territory and only glanced at the distant watchtowers, we headed to the nearby graveyard close to the pack.My chest tightened when we arrived there and went to look for where I was buried there. I assumed the burial tomb had been long forgotten, but to my surprise, it was beautifully maintained.Bewildered, I slowly stepped forward, my heartbeat loud in my ears as something deep inside me stirred. Not memory exactly, but recognition."She was buried here," I murmured. "Outside the pack she died for."Lucretius remained a few steps behind me, watchful, respectful. Giving me space while never truly leaving my side.I stopped before a stone with its markings faint but still readable.Euphyllia Caedex.Just beside it, close enough that their shadows nearly

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 63: The Anomaly

    His answer almost made me throw a fit and punch him. My breath caught. "That's not what I—""I know," he interrupted gently. He stepped closer, close enough that I could feel the warmth of him, the steady certainty in his presence. His fingers lifted my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. "But it is the truth you're circling," he continued quietly. "In this life. In this ending."My pulse roared in my ears."You think I'm an anomaly," he said, voice low, almost intimate. "That I appeared where I shouldn't have." His thumb brushed away the tear clinging to my lashes. "You're not wrong."I swallowed hard. "Then... what does that make you?"His gaze darkened. "The man who found you after fate failed you," he replied. "The one who stepped in when the cycle cracked." He looked at her intently. "And the one who won't let it start again."The air between us felt charged, heavy with truths he wasn't ready to name, and perhaps truths I wasn't yet strong enough to hear.Lucretius leaned in, his

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 62: The Proof

    I had asked Lucretius for that favor at a time when I still believed my life was fragile enough to shatter with a single answer.Back then, I hadn't been his Luna. Hadn't worn his mark. Hadn't learned what it meant to be protected by a man who ruled with blood and certainty.I had been a woman questioning her own sanity, grasping at fragments of memories that refused to stay buried. Names that followed me through lifetimes. Lives I could remember but could not prove.Euphyllia.I remembered how uncertain I had been when I asked him to investigate them. How foolish it had sounded even to my own ears. Deceased women bearing my name, scattered across different timelines, different lands. It was a proof that I was not imagining the lives I had lived before.So much had changed since then.War plans. Power shifts. Redmund and Lilith's betrayal.Becoming a Luna.Becoming his.Somewhere along the way, I had convinced myself that the favor no longer mattered. That whatever answer waited for m

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 61: Not Blind

    I was limping when we had lunch with everyone the next day, and Lucretius even carried me in his arms because I insisted we join the group.He was insatiable last night. As always. That he didn't stop fucking me until I was satisfied. No. Scratch that.Even if I was satisfied, I would wake up after a few minutes of resting with my legs already spread, having Lucretius's cock inside me. And right there and then, I couldn't stop moaning his name.And I could have sworn we were so loud the whole night. Every corner of the chamber, the bathroom, and even the balcony, we had done the deed so many times, and I couldn't count anymore.Romina shot me a teasing look when she noticed my condition, clearly aware of what Lucretius and I had been up to all night. Lorenzo stayed silent, his gaze fixed on Lucretius as if he were trying to say something. Meanwhile, Redmund and Lilith were absent, tied up with preparations for their wedding.It was such a shame that I didn't see him today. I really w
