The king has found his long-awaited Fated Luna!" Harold declared it aloud for everyone to hear.
Jubilation filled the air as they all clapped their hands together. Almost everyone becomes curious in the hall as they await who their Luna is."Let's rise to our feet as we welcome the King and the fated Luna of Eldoria!" The lights dimmed as everyone stood up from their seats.Selene was sitting beside her mother when Harold made the announcement. All eyes were fixed on the entrance as two figures emerged from the wide-opened door of the hall. Petals of flowers were scattered on the floor they walked on.Selene was happy, as everyone in the kingdom knew the Lycan King had been deprived of a mate since he ascended the throne.Every lady was awed at the beauty of the king; he was undoubtedly handsome in the blue coat that trailed down his body. They all smiled as the background flute began to play. The two couples walked up the podium, and the bright glow from the chandelier on the ceiling shone on them.Selene's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she saw the man under the warm glow of one of the chandeliers. His dark eyes locked with hers in the hall as she locked eyes with him, unable to say or utter a word. Her heart thudded in her chest as dread filled her heart.The same man who came to her pulled her closer to him and even whispered in her ears. Her fated mate was the king, King Rayne Sullivan, the Alpha King of Eldoria."Let us pay our respects to King Rayne Sullivan and his destined partner, Isabella Winters." Silas declared for everyone to hear.Everyone bowed their heads as they heard the clear words of Harold. Selene's eyes welled up in tears as she bowed, and her throat felt parched from the shock.She swallowed the saliva at the back of her throat and straightened her back, just like everyone else, raising their heads.When she stared at the king this time, he wasn't looking at her. Rayne gave everyone a beautiful smile, while his fated Luna, Isabella, did the same. The woman was wearing a blue dress with petals of flowers designed on it. The dress exposed some of her cleavage, and her neck was adorned with beautiful jewelry. She is a very beautiful woman.Selene recognized her, and so did everyone in the hall. Everyone was told to sit down on the seat, but Selene couldn't keep her emotions intact as she found herself in a trance state, her mind reeling.“Selene, what is wrong?" Her mother asked as she held her hands.“Your mind is elsewhere, Selene; what are you thinking about? If it's about your fated mate, you will see him before the end of today, just like how the King met his fated Luna today." Selene's heart only shattered more when she heard this.Her gaze began to blur as tears welled up in her eyes, but she wasn't going to break down now.She didn't know how to tell her mother that the man who claimed to be her mate was the king. “I'm fine, mother. I'm just happy for the king." She said to her mother in a calm tone“OK, child. You will get to smile too before the end of today,” her mother assured her before looking at her front to see the king and queen standing beside each other.“People of Eldoria," Rayne called, his eyes fixated on a woman in the crowd.“As you all know, I finally found my mate after several years of searching. I won't waste any more time and will marry Ivy Hawthorne tomorrow at this same hour of the day. Everyone is welcome at the palace. Enjoy the rest of the party," Rayne declared in his deep voice, which resonated through the hall, cutting through the silence of the hall.His eyes were still fixated on that woman in a blue dress. The crown jubilates as the music begins to play again. Selene found herself looking at him before he departed the hall with the future Queen of Eldoria.Without wasting any more time, the celebration began again as people began to wine and dine. Everyone was happy with this great news, except Selene.Selene wondered if the king had made some mistake in approaching her, but what would make the great Alpha King approach someone like her? Selene made her way out of the hall to at least catch some fresh air.Her skirt flowed behind her as she stood on the terrace of the stairs, far away from the hall and from where the people were singing and jubilating. Her eyes appeared lost as she stared into the darkness that enveloped the castle.“Don't tell me you are trying to kill yourself by falling off the balcony."Selene recognized the voice and turned abruptly towards it, stepping on her long skirt. She felt herself almost falling off the terrace, and her heart accelerated, wondering if she was finally going to die after withstanding the insults and humiliation thrown at her face all her life without having the time to prove to them that she was strong.However, before she could fall, she saw the Alpha King draw her closer by her waist, preventing her from falling and regaining her footing on the floor."Weak human," he mumbled quietly as he observed her not being able to make eye contact with him.“Thank you, my king. I will be more careful," she said shyly in a deep bow.Rayne released her waist, and she stepped back in reflex. Selene didn't know if she should ask him what he meant by calling her his mate when he had already found his Luna. She didn't know how to say it to the king, but she decided to leave instead of asking him stupid questions that could cost her life.“I will take my leave now, my king," she said, about to turn her back and go back to the hall, when he suddenly asked her.“Where are you running off to, young woman?"His deep baritone voice washed away her worries as her feet remained glued to the floor.“I... I just..." She found herself stuttering when his dark orbs stared into her black ones.“I never knew my fated mate would be such a weak human. You are not even a weak omega but something is not right." he commented, walking around her as he dipped his hands into his pocket.Selene thought the king would have a grumpy face with lots of beards, just like his father, but who knew he cared about his looks?“My king, I don't know what you are talking about."“Or are you just pretending not to have heard?" He asked as he stopped behind her.She could see he was smelling her neck as if she were some sweet honey.Selene parted her lips to ask him what he was doing, but he beat her to it.“What is your name?" He asked, still standing behind her; he was no longer smelling her neck.“Selene," she replied, feeling herself vulnerable before him like an open book.“Hmmm..." He hummed before walking around to stand before her.“You will be my breeder as from today. You will be confined within the walls of the palace." Rayne declared.“You will be breeder as from today. You will be confined within the walls of the palace." Rayne declared“What?" She asked, and her eyes doubled as she asked this question. This time, she didn't stutter, and she praised herself for this. “What do you mean by breeder? I'm just a young woman living through hard days and struggling. One moment you said I'm your fated mate, and now you say I will be a breeder?"“I thought you weren't listening before, Selene," he said, her name rolling off his tongue like a symphony. “You are my destined mate, but why do you think I would declare in front of everyone that you are my mate? You are weak and powerless. Which kingdom wants a weak Omega as their Luna?"Selene's eyes stung at this as her heart tore into pieces. She wished he could stop and just tell her he was only joking, but why would the feared Alpha King joke about something like this?“I only want to take you in as my concubine to save you from humiliation because you are mine and mine
Selene opened her eyes and looked at the bathtub, but she couldn't find the King. She didn't have time to look at the beautiful room and the gemstones on the wall. She dashed towards the door in a speed of light. She tried to unlock the door, but she couldn't, despite pulling the handle with every ounce of strength in her. Suddenly, the doorknob and the door were pushed open. Selene moved back to at least hide from the person, but the figure had already come in.Selene saw Lady Isabella walk in, clad in a short night dress that accentuated her figure. She could see the tips of her breasts poking out of the cloth, and she smelled of roses. Selene bowed her head as the woman gave her a dirty look.“Are you one of the sluts that the King beds? Where is the king?" Isabella asked the strange woman in the beautiful clothes. She could see the woman was not a maid as she wore a fancy dress.“I'm not a slut, my queen," Selene replied with gritted teeth, as she couldn't take more insults tod
Selene woke up to the sound of the bell that went around the palace wall. She yawned softly and wondered how she managed to sleep after crying so much last night. The room was still neatly arranged, with some of the candles already burned out. Selene sits upright on the bed and wonders what kind of state her mother will be in. She knew no one cared about her, but her mother was different.She rose from the bed and attempted to at least attempt to make her first escape in the palace to know how far he could go when the door suddenly opened. The devil comes in and closes the door behind him.“You are awake. How was your night?" Rayne asked as he leisurely walked around the room as if he owned it, but still, he owned everything.“I came to your room last night, but you were sleeping soundly when I came in. I couldn't be a weak human like you could snore loud," Rayne explained further after receiving no reply to the first question he asked.Selene didn't want to think about what would ha
“Where are you taking me?" Selene asked as they began to walk down the corridor. “To have breakfast," Rayne replied curtly, and he took another turn. He opened the door, and the smell of the aroma of food assaulted Selene's nostrils. Her mouth watered when she saw the meals served on the table by the maids, but she wasn't alone with the Alpha king. In the spacious dining room, there were six chairs, with a long table separating the chairs. Four people were already occupying the chair, with two chairs left vacant. Selene saw the Queen, Isabella sitting, and some other people whom Selene couldn't remember except Silas Stone, whom she remembered to have seen that night at the party. The beta was in the room. Selene followed Rayne to the table before sitting on the empty chair beside a woman sitting close to Isabella. Queen Isabella was the first person to break the silence as he touched Rayne's hands before saying, “I have searched the
Selene watched as Rayne pulled his pants down before thrusting his member into the maid's core. The maid moans softly against the wall while Rayne thrust into her cunt from behind. Selene couldn't watch it as she covered her ears with her hands. She wondered what she had done wrong for something like this to happen to her. Rayne had s*x with the maid in rage like a feral beast and took a glance at Selene in the room.Rayne saw Selene turning his back to her while he fucked the maid, who didn't stop screaming as he devoured her whole like a beast. After several minutes of thrusting into the maid's cunt and he was still rock hard, he sent the maid out of the room and wore his pants.“You should rest well. See you tomorrow,” Rayne said in his deep baritone voice before shutting the door behind him. He looked down at his pants, and he was still rock hard.‘I will just find a way to get the release’ he muttered on his breath as he walked past his room.Selene slumped on the floor as she fou
Several days passed, and Rayne was not yet back. It was late at night when Isabella sent for Selene to be brought into her room. Selene, who has been practicing in secret how to communicate with her wolf, got called by the guards to follow them.She thought she was going to work again at night when the guards took a right turn down the corridor and opened the door for her to come in. “She is here, my queen," the guard said, pausing Selene to stand in front of the queen.Isabella sat on the chair with her legs crossed. “I was wondering if the rumor circulating among the maids was true. I wanted to confirm.” Isabella explained standing up from the bed to stand behind Selene as soon as the guards left.“What rumor, my Queen?” Selene asked in a calm tone. She was already exhausted and didn't have time to banter words with the Queen, which would only double her punishment as she was in no position to reprimand her.Selene already heard about the news circulating, but it was not true. Who wo
Selene dressed up after taking her bath and awaited the head maid to call her out of the room. After waiting several times in the room, she was surprised when she didn't see any of the maids come to call her. She sits on the bed, waiting patiently for the head maid, but none of them come for several minutes. She was already mastering the palace structure, just in case she wanted to. escape one day. She already plans to do the same today with the hope of not getting caught since the guards are mostly busy during the day. She heard someone knocking on the door, and she quickly rushed to open it. Instead of seeing the head maid or any other maids, three maids stood behind the door and bowed their heads to greet her. “Good morning, Milady,” they chorused at once, their heads still lowered. Selene was shocked by their sudden special treatment. She was shocked; maybe they already missed their ways because she recognized some of the maids treating her badly yesterday and the day before.
“Mallory!” Selene's mother, Camilla, called in anger, her eyes red and her body shaking as she tried to calm herself down, knowing fully well that she was in the palace and the maids were still in the room with them. They're not at home now. "You don't talk to your sister like that. It will be better if you keep your mouth shut,” Camilla explained in anger before turning to Selene, whose eyes appeared lost because of what her sister said. “You can't keep supporting her mother. She dolled herself up that night because she wanted to be noticed. This is the kind of life she wants.” Mallory retorts back in envy. She had always wanted to meet the king one day, but till she met her fated mate, she never got to meet the king, and now her useless sister will be living a life of luxury in the palace. She never thought Selene would one day belong to the palace, and the alpha would even claim her. Athena, the second daughter, wasn't happy about this ei
