THE CHUBBY LUNA’s CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO THE LYCAN KING 126
Merikh’s POVThe deadline had come and gone. By midday, the fragile trust we had built the night before with the starving refugees and the rogue faction began to disintegrate.Murmurs of discontent spread through the tents like wildfire. Families who had gone to sleep believing my promise of food woke up to empty distribution tables.A group of displaced citizens gathered near the perimeter, their faces hardened with betrayal.The older man who had challenged me the night before pushed his way to the front, glaring up at the platform with arms crossed over his chest."Is this your royal word, Alpha?" the man called out. "You fed your own pride last night by handing our rations to outlaws, and now we get nothing? You're no different from the warlords who burned our homes."The crowd murmured in angry agreement, a volatile wave of hostility rising against the garrison guards.My jaw clenched so hard a muscle twitched in my cheek. I had personally authorized the emergency supply manifest

Merikh’s POVAround us, the remaining rogues froze in their tracks.The moment they saw their men pinned beneath the Lycan King, warning growls echoed from the overturned supply crates."Hold your fire!" a commanding voice bellowed from the edge of the camp.A tall, broad-shouldered man stepped out from behind a wall, lowering a hunting rifle.His face was identical to the men pinned beneath my boot, same sharp jaw, same dark hair and same eyes."Jaxon!" the captive gasped, struggling against my grip.I kept my weapon steady, my eyes locking onto the new arrival. "Stand down," I ordered the leader. "Your man made a fatal mistake breaching a secured military zone.""He didn't come here to start a war," Jaxon shouted, taking a cautious step forward, his hands raised palms up to show he wasn't holding a weapon. "He's just trying to feed his family. Let him go, Merikh. I'm the one you want.""You're the leader of this rogue faction," I stated flatly, keeping the barrel pressed against the

Merikh’s POVI stared across the table, my chest tightening into a knot. The silence in the room stretched so thin I could hear the dripping of water from a jar in the corner.“Selene?” I asked, confused by the name she called.The healer only smiled, her eyes filled with mischief. “Seems you have a lot to uncover, King Merikh,” she said sarcastically."Explain yourself," I demanded, leaning forward. "Explain how a fated biological bond registered the moment Lia walked into my kingdom and how a burning fire tears through my veins every time I look at Maya. The pack laws are absolute. Biology doesn't lie."The healer let out a dry cough that sounded suspiciously like a laugh. She slammed the book shut."Biology is merely a language, boy," she rasped, shaking her head. "And your kind has always been terribly illiterate. You read the first line on the page and assume you understand the entire history of the war.""Stop talking in riddles," I snapped, frustration flaring in my chest. "If

Merikh’s POVThe neutral zone guesthouse smelled of smoke and fresh copper.When my extraction unit breached the door, the hallway exploded into a fight.Caleb’s men, three elite in armor, were already driving their advantage home and hacking at the bedroom door at the end of the hall.We gave them no quarter.With a sweep, I severed the guard and drove my dagger through his collarbone, dropping him instantly to the floor.Behind me, my guards cut down the remaining two.The hallway fell silent except for the heavy breathing of my men and the terrified sounds coming from inside the room.I stepped over the corpse at my feet, kicked the door open and raised my gun scanning the shadows.Hunched in the far corner, bleeding from a gash on his forearm and clutching a bloody satchel to his chest, was Kenneth.When he saw me, he flinched, squeezing his eyes shut and bracing for the blow."Put down the steel, Kenneth," I commanded. "You're safe. Caleb's men are dead."Kenneth opened one eye s

Maya's POVInstead of letting the revelations about Caleb and Selene paralyze me, I channeled every ounce of my frustration into the work Merikh had entrusted to me.If Selene wanted to play mind games, she would find herself fighting a Luna who was no longer hiding behind closed doors.My first destination was the lower valley construction site.For the past two hours, I had walked the perimeter of the new water purification plant, reviewing pipe layouts and questioning site foremen on their material counts.Now, I climbed the steps leading toward the newly expanded infirmary wing.Inside, the scent of antiseptic was strong."Lady Maya," a respectful voice called out.I turned to see Dr. Alistair, the head physician of the Kingdom, striding down the aisle toward me, wiping his hands on a clean cloth. He bowed his head slightly as he approached."Doctor," I acknowledged, offering a firm nod. "How is the expansion progressing? I want a full breakdown of our trauma supplies.""Better th

Maya's POVFor a moment, she remained pinned against the wall, her hand pressed to her face. The superior and mocking composure she had worn like armor all morning was shattered.Slowly, Selene pushed herself away from the wall. Her chest heaved and when she lowered her hand, her expression twisted into anger."You think you’re untouchable now, don't you?" Selene hissed, her voice vibrating with resentment that seemed to crawl straight out of our shared past. "You think a slap makes you strong? You have spent your entire life stealing everything that ever belonged to me!"I crossed my arms over my chest, holding my ground without flinching. "I didn't steal anything from you, Selene. You abandoned your home, faked your own death, and hid in the shadows for a decade. Whatever you lost, you threw away yourself.""No!" Selene shrieked, taking a step toward me before catching herself, her fingers curling into trembling fists at her sides. "You took it all! From the very beginning! You took
