The taste of him still lingered faintly on my tongue when Lucretius finally carried me back onto his lap, his arm caging me, my face resting on his chest as if I belonged nowhere else. My cheeks were flaring and my lips swollen after that. His praise from earlier softly echoed on my head like a broken record.

He said nothing right now, expecting him at least to taunt me further, but he only rested his chin on my head, his thumb tracing circles along my hip.

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 151: Our Pack

    My breath softened at his words. Lucretius always knew exactly how to make my heart ache in the gentlest way possible. The Golden Eclipse Pack... Our home... It was not a temporary place anymore. It was not somewhere I merely stayed in because of circumstances, but home.A small smile slowly tugged at my lips as I cupped his face gently between my hands. "You sound like you're trying to recruit me all over again, Alpha Lucretius," I teased softly.A quiet chuckle escaped him immediately. "If necessary, I will."I almost laughed. Oh, dear... This man had truly lost all sense of shame. My thumbs brushed lightly against his cheeks while I stared at him for a moment longer. Then, my expression softened, too. "I want that."Lucretius' eyes immediately locked onto mine. "I want to return there with you," I admitted honestly. "Not as someone hiding beside you anymore, but properly this time." I felt his hands tighten instinctively around my waist. "As your wife."The look Lucretius gave me

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 150: When This is Over

    The royal servants had long finished arranging our belongings by the time Lucretius and I were finally led toward the guest chamber prepared for us inside the palace. Until now, I still couldn't believe we were staying here.Originally, we had planned to simply rent a hotel near the capital after returning from Enoch and I's pack territory. But then, Rachelle insisted.Actually, 'insisted' was too gentle of a word. She practically claimed us. And somehow, none of us had enough strength left to refuse her.The moment the chamber doors closed behind us, silence finally settled around us once more. A long sigh escaped me before I immediately walked toward the massive bed near the center of the room. Then, without dignity, I threw myself face-first onto it. The mattress dipped softly under me as exhaustion instantly crashed into my body all over again. Today had been insane... I buried my face briefly against the sheets before letting out a muffled groan and laying on my back. "It s

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 149: Frightening Together

    A sharp laugh escaped Lucretius beside me. It sounded cold, disbelieving, and dangerous. I had never heard him laugh like that before. Even Claude's eyes narrowed faintly now."He's turning the tables," Enoch muttered under his breath, realization dawning across his face.And suddenly, everything clicked. Marcelo was moving first before rumors spread, before the truth about the assassination surfaced and before Euphyllia herself could speak publicly.He was trying to control the narrative.My chest tightened. Because it was smart.Cowardly, but smart."He's trying to paint Lucretius as the villain," I whispered faintly.The realization alone made me feel sick. Because in the eyes of the public, it almost made sense. I disappeared for weeks. Then suddenly returned that had been marked, married, and would soon be living with Lucretius in his pack.Fuck that man... Marcelo was trying to make it look like I had been kidnapped and manipulated all along.Rachelle clicked her tongue softly.

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 148: Reality Claps

    Rachelle grinned brightly at her son's excited reaction while little Crown Prince Claudian V clapped his tiny hands repeatedly inside her arms."See?" she said proudly before turning toward us. "Even Cloudy agrees."The little prince nodded enthusiastically despite clearly not understanding the full conversation. "Go see Grandmama!"I almost choked. Meanwhile, Enoch looked one sentence away from fainting. "Wait—" he started weakly. "We can actually go there?""Of course," Rachelle replied casually, as if she wasn't speaking about the celestial realm itself. Then she suddenly gasped dramatically before bouncing Cloudy slightly in her arms. "Alright then, little Cloudy."Her eyes sparkled mischievously. "Off we go!"Claude immediately sighed. "Love..."But she ignored him and just winked at him. What happened next made my breath stop. Because suddenly, the air around Rachelle shifted. There was a soft silver light slowly gather around her fingertips like flowing water, illuminating t

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 147: Father

    My breath faltered because the moment the familiar man lifted his head, his gaze landed directly on me. At the same time, the little crown prince wriggled excitedly in his arms before Father gently lowered him onto the floor.Crown Prince Claudian V ran toward Claude and Rachelle with tiny, hurried steps, giggling brightly. "Mommy! Papa!" he called happily before pointing behind him proudly after we greeted and bowed before him. "I brought Grandpapa!"The innocent excitement in his voice echoed warmly throughout the drawing room. But somehow, it all sounded distant to me. It felt like it was muted and faint because my entire world had already narrowed into one person standing near the doorway. Father...Esteban Caedex slowly turned fully toward me, and the moment he truly saw me, I watched his entire expression soften. It wasn't out of politeness and surprise, but it was a recognition.My chest felt like being squeezed painfully because I knew that look. I had seen it countless times

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 146: Beautiful Hope

    Everyone had taken their time to digest the information from the two monarchs' revelation. Even I was lost for words, and I still couldn't come up with what to say. Or perhaps, I was too cowardly to learn what else I should learn or taking my sweet time to understand what lay in front of me.Enoch was the one who was bold enough to break the silence. "Your Majesty, may I ask when this prophecy began?" Curiosity lingered in his face as he leaned forward, taking interest in the details he learned today.Claude didn't hesitate to answer him as his mood lightened up from Rachelle's words. "It began long ago," he explained. "...after the Moon Goddess proclaimed the lycans as the chosen royal bloodline of the mundane realm." He took Rachelle's hand and intertwined it with his. "A prophecy was left behind concerning Her daughters," he continued. "But there was never certainty regarding when they would awaken... or when they would return." I caught how his lips slightly frowned at the last wo

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 57: A Pleading of Regret

    The music had not stopped, yet everything felt quieter when Lucretius guided me away from the corridor.Not because the celebration had ended, but because something inside me had finally settled.His hand never left mine as we moved through the hallway towards our chamber. The laughter and clinking

    "Take care of her for us."Those were the words from Alpha Derrick and Luna Olivia when they walked me down the aisle as soon as Alpha Derrick handed my hand to Lucretius. I couldn't contain my tears as I hugged them both, whispering how thankful I was for who I was today."You can count on me," Lu

    The next day, Lucretius left early in the morning to meet the wedding organizer, and the packhouse was alive with preparations for tomorrow's second wedding. It would be held in the ceremonial ground where I officiated as Luna.While they were occupied, I was handling the paperwork from the militar

    The cheers of the pack still echoed faintly in the distance, even the wolves howling, as Lucretius's hand remained firm at my back as he guided me away from the crowd.We were walking in a path with faintly glowing lanterns as the sun had already set. I could even see the countless fireflies steeri
