تسجيل الدخولLabeled the harbinger of calamity from birth, she was nameless, discarded, and hated by the kingdom. Yet, she moved through life, hoping to awaken her wolf and find her mate. It was her consolation, only to be slapped in the face with the brutal reality shortly after: she was wolfless and rejected by her mate for her twin sister, the darling of the kingdom. She awaited death, the brutal end of every Harbinger of Calamity who couldn't redeem themselves with a wolf or a mate. However, at the last minute, she was forced to take her twin sister's place, and become the bride of the Grand Preceptor/Tutor, an enigma who only left his legend but no face. Rumor said he was the oldest man in the kingdom, barely holding on to his last breath. "He is desperate for an heir," Her father, the Duke said, "Give him a child by all means. Everything he owns must belong to this family. If you can do that, I'll make sure you own land, properties, and titles." "Don't blame us for how we treated you all those years, it's your fault that you were born with a curse. So, don't let this opportunity to redeem yourself go." Her mother. "I could even take you as my concubine if you succeed," her ex-mate, the crown prince. But why is the man who was said to be old and feeble, and dying soon, looking younger and stronger than the crown prince himself? Why is the man who was said to be desperate for an heir telling her, "Put your clothes back on, you're not a vessel for my heir, you're my Luna."? And why does he look at her like she's the air he breathes? "We will make them pay," he kissed her tenderly.

No space for denial.His breath brushed against my ear, warm, sending a strange shiver down my spine that had nothing to do with fear.“I am the authority that governs every voice within these walls,” he continued, his voice low, almost intimate.My fingers trembled at my sides, clenching and unclenching in a bid to not succumb to his alluring voice.“And I am the one who decides what is seen…” his fingers brushed against my arm, “…and what is never spoken of,” he finished softly, his touch lingering just long enough to make my breath falter.My heart pounded harder against my ribs.Not just from fear. But from the way his presence wrapped around me. Suffocating in a way that made it impossible to think clearly.I swallowed, trying to steady myself, trying to hold onto something—anything—that made s
“Milady,” they bowed. “We were instructed to bring your dinner here.” Then, they stepped in quietly, their footsteps soft against the polished floor. The scent of warm food drifted into the room, rich and comforting, completely at odds with the storm raging inside me.And then, there were blood replenishing tonics and strength boosting tea. I had seen them before, on my first night with Talahei. With Head Maid Lira’s instructions, they set the trays down and stepped aside. Their heads bowed low. Those carrying wooden containers filled with water, filled past, towards the wash room. Fifteen or so of them. Done, they all bowed, “Milady, enjoy your meal,” and left. The word echoed in my ears, louder than it should have been.My fingers curled slightly at my sides, my breath catching in my throat as I stared at them leave, in a straight line, unable to process what I was seeing.This wasn’t right.Nothing about this was right.Why were they acting like this was normal? Why wasn’t a
My fingers tightened against his chest. Even though no one said a word, the silence was louder than any accusation.They knew I was cheating on their master. Or… worse… they accepted it. And I didn’t understand why.Or maybe Talahei had promised them something they couldn't refuse. Maybe Talahei had stolen power with the Grand Preceptor in seclusion. And everyone now answered to him. That must be it. By the time we stepped out of the long corridor, the evening sun was slowly starting to descend. “Talahei…” I tried again, softer this time, my voice strained. “Where are you taking me?”“You’ll see.” That was all he said.No explanation. He didn’t stop walking.He didn't even acknowledge the chaos brewing inside me.Before I could protest again, we reached the stables.My breath hitched.Horses.The smell of hay, sweat, damp wood… and something else beneath it all hit me first, clawing at my throat and dragging me somewhere I never wanted to return to.My body reacted before my mind
My scream died the moment I realized that I wasn't falling. I was in the air. Caught in his strong arms. My breath came out in short, uneven bursts. “What are you doing? Put me—” The word barely left my lips when he leaned into my neck, planting a soft kiss there. “Haven't you missed your husband, Milady?” My entire body went rigid. Slowly… painfully slowly… I turned my head. And froze. “…you,” I whispered. Up close, there was no mistaking his gorgeous features but that wasn't the point. How could he claim to be my husband? Had he lost his mind? Wasn't he scared of what people would say if they saw him holding the Grand Preceptor’s wife like this? My heart slammed violently against my ribs. “You…” My fingers curled against his chest, pushing weakly against him. “Put me down.” He didn’t. If anything, his hold tightened slightly, as if amused by the lack of strength behind my resistance. “That’s no way to greet your husband,” he murmured, his breath warm agains
