Past alphas of the Jared family chose their wives from the Brighton family, where Megan was from. The case of the wife of the alpha being his mate was not a necessity for the Jared clan. Their marriages were strictly political. 

The former alpha, Ronald, chose Megan Brighton to be the next luna. To everyone’s surprise however, Megan turned out to be his son, Richardson’s mate. Leading everyone to believe theirs was a union of love.

Richardson and Megan had been friends since they were young cubs, growing together as they were to get married in the event of the alpha’s demise. They worked together on how to rule the pack together, Megan was the perfect luna.

Until this day.

“I accept the divorce.” Megan said before the priest. Taking everyone in the courthouse by surprise They had heard the news of the divorce but thought Megan would put up a fight and not relinquish her role so easily. Even Richardson was surprised. Aspen tried her best to hide her smile of relief.

“And I ask for permission to leave the pack and remarry.” The murmurs grow even louder.

“What does she mean?” 

“Leave the pack?” 

“That’s absurd!”

“The king will never allow that!”

Megan smiles. “In the event of an unfortunate divorce, the previous Luna can seek permission to remarry and/or leave the pack, if she so wishes.” Megan quotes from one of the constitution books she had to read growing up, in preparation for her role as the luna.

“But who will you marry my queen? I mean- Megan.” The priest asked, looking and feeling very sorry for Megan and she hated the look of pity on his face.

“Yes, Megan. Who will you marry?” Richardson asked, ready to appeal whatever constitution that was.

“Can I come in now?” A voice asked. Everyone turned behind them to the entrance of the court house where Rhode Wales revealed himself to the crowd. The alpha and leader of the Wales clan, with whom the Jared clan had shared many diplomatic relationships in the past.

Everyone in the room was now talking, not bothering to honor the presence of their ruler, Richardson.

Rhode was famous among the werewolves. His brutal way of ruling his clan and his clear intentions to make them rise as the number one clan.

Everyone was surprised as to how Megan and Rhode could have met, as she never left the castle grounds.

“Megan, don’t tell me-!” Richardson starts.

“He is the one I will marry.” Megan says, Rhode standing beside her.

Four months earlier

Megan was attending to her duties in her office, signing the papers that were required of her to sign when one of her ladies, Brianna entered the office.

“I told you not to come in unless it was urgent.” Megan said, not looking up from the paperwork in front of her.

Her and Richardson’s rule had successfully transitioned the Jared clan to a successful empire and were in the process of transitioning to an autonomous kingdom in the East and even though she was referred to as the queen or luna, her position was technically that of an empress. However, to retain the values of their pack, she preferred being called luna or simply queen.

“But it is, your highness. The king requests your presence.” Brianna said. That was odd. She had not seen Richardson in about a week now since their last meeting with the council.

“Okay, I’ll be there shortly. Where?” She asked. “His office.” Brianna responded.

Megan got up and headed for Richardson’s office. She had not been in his office in over a year. A place where she and him would hide to talk when tired of all their official duties but after four years of marriage without providing an heir, his demeanor towards her gradually became cold and distant. Now, she only saw him to discuss the affairs of their pack or kingdom when he wanted to.

Megan got to the door of his office and said to the guard stationed there, “please let him know I am here.”

“Sir, your Luna is outside. May I let her in?” The guard asked. “Yes.” She heard from inside.

Megan knocked and entered into his office. “You sent for me, your majesty.” Megan said as she closed the door behind her.

“Yes. A minute.” Richardson said, finishing up what he was writing on his desk. Megan stood tall, waiting for him to offer her a seat. When they were still a functional couple she needed not to follow such formalities, however that was not the case anymore.

“Oh. You may sit.” Richardson said, dropping his pen and looking at her. Megan walked close to his table and took a seat opposite him, anticipating what he had to say.

“Aspen is pregnant.” Richardson said.

“I don’t understand.” Megan said, looking straight at Richardson. It was the first time he had summoned her in a week. He had been communicating with her through the ground omegas as the sight of her simply disgusted him.

“Was I unclear?” Richardson asked, patience thin.

“No you weren’t. I don’t understand why you’re telling me that Aspen is pregnant. What does that have to do with your summoning me?” Megan asked, unsure of what he was getting at.

“I’m the father.” He said curtly. In that instant, Megan’s already crumbling world shattered.

“She will be moving to the castle. You should do well to welcome her, you are best friends after all.” Richardson said. “You are dismissed.” He added.

Megan got up from the chair and moved to leave his office.

“Do you not bow before your king before leaving his presence?” She heard from behind her.

Megan turned around and looked Richardson dead in his eyes. Something she had not done in a while. She bowed and said, “your majesty.” And she left his office.

“My queen.” The guard acknowledged her presence as she walked away.

Megan walked slowly back to her chambers. Her ears were ringing with memories of her and Richardson’s childhood playing in her head.

She got to her chambers and said to her ladies, “I would like to be alone.” 

They all looked at eachother and exited the room. Megan had never made that request before but they read the room and left.

As soon as she was alone Megan broke down in tears. Aspen, her very best friend, was pregnant with her husband.

Megan wanted answers but knew she wasn’t going to get it from either of them.

    The next day came around and for the first time since she officially became Luna, she detested getting out of bed. She always looked forward to fulfilling her duties for the day as it gave her a sense of purpose but this particular day all she felt was gloom and anger.Regardless of how she was feeling, Megan got up from bed and rang for her ladies. Her duties were not going to fulfill themselves. She needed to keep busy now more than ever since Aspen was moving to the castle as Richardsons official concubine.She never thought that he would ever take a concubine.15 years ago.Megan was 12 and Richardson was 15. They were lying on the lawn after completing their lessons for the day.“Do you think you will ever take a concubine?” Megan asked, taking a bite out of her cookie. “The law allows it but what do you think?” She added.“My dad never took a concubine. The thought of that will simply break my mother’s heart.” He said.“Plus, I wouldn’t do that to you. One woman is enough for m

    The meeting was adjourned in about an hour as it was only a customary visit. Rhode’s father, the former alpha and ruler of his empire, died of a disease that almost wiped out his entire family two years ago.Thankfully, Rhode was out on a mission and was not infected. Rhode assumed the role as alpha and in just a year he brought the Wales clan up the ladder and they were only second to the Jared kingdom in influence. In raw strength however, that was up for debate.Megan couldn’t shake off the feeling that she had seen Rhode before. He felt all too familiar and he looked at her often during the visit although she refused to look back at him. It was an insult to your husband as Luna to look at another male in the presence of your husband, especially one from another pack.After all the visitors had left, Megan got up to leave the courtroom.“It would do you well to have a group of reporters come see you.” Richardson said.“Why?” Megan asked. “Word has reached me that rumors have spread

    “Hey!” Aspen said. Taking both the ladies attending to her and Megan’s entourage by surprise. Gasps were heard.“How dare you refer to the queen so informally!” Rosetta barked at Aspen.“I’m sorry, I’m so used to calling you informally.” Aspen said. “I haven’t seen you on castle grounds ever. It’s like you’re invisible Luna.” Aspen said with a small smile.Megan was still frozen, unsure of what to do or how to respond.“I just want to talk, Meg. Please.” Aspen pleaded.“Oh look! A little cub!” One of the women pointed. The cub ran to Megan’s feet.“Why is there a stray on castle grounds!” Brianna asked, turning around to find one of the guards.Megan was thankful for the distraction. She bent down and picked up the cub, “he’s not a stray.” She said and smiled.“You came to rescue me, didn’t you?” She whispered in the cub’s ear and it licked her hand.“Your highness! It could have some sort of disease!” Rosetta gasped.“Going to make me sick, baby?” She cooed at the cub, Aspen took the

    Megan woke up earlier than usual to go to the garden. She hoped to see the little cub as she felt better whenever she held him in her arms.The sun wasn’t out yet and Megan was clear to the guards to not follow her into the garden. In a month’s time she will be divorced. She will no longer be queen or Luna and all she had lived for will be no more. She wasn’t even sure of her status in the castle after the divorce.“Do I return home?” Megan asked out loud. “The shame might be too much for my family.”“The former Luna returns home after a failed marriage due to her inability to provide an heir.” Megan laughed sadistically. If someone would have told her that her life would turn out this way at 27 she would have laughed in their face. “Where are you, cub?” She asked. “I should’ve named you.” She thought. At Least it would’ve been easier to call out to him.“Your highness!” She heard a male voice call from behind her.“I told you I want to be alone.” Megan said and turned around.“Forgi

    Megan was taking a walk in the garden when she sighted rustling in a bush. “Maybe it’s my cub.” She thought to herself.“Brianna, Rosetta, you both can stay here.” She said and lifted up her thick skirt.She jogged over to the bush and squatted down. She peered open the branches with her hands and she saw the little cub.“Hi, you.” She moved to grab him when she noticed something like a scroll attached to a collar she hadn’t seen before.Did the cub have an owner all this while?She removed the scroll and opened it to reveal a small note. “Your kingdom is indeed beautiful ” The note read. Megan got up and scanned the area.She didn’t know who the note could’ve been from but the thought of it made her giddy inside.Someone wrote her a secret note and she wanted to meet this stranger but she didn’t know how.“Thank you. Does he have a name? If you’re a guest in the castle, you could join me for tea this afternoon.”Perhaps if she had tea this noon the stranger would come around. It ha

    “I’ve discussed with the priest, he will see us tomorrow in a private meeting.” Richardson said.It was really happening. Richardson was divorcing her.Ten years ago“Do you think you would ever divorce me?” Megan asked. They were returning from their law class.“You always ask such ridiculous questions Megan.” Young Richardson said.“I’m just curious. It is allowed so, I was just wondering.”“You’re my mate.” He said plainly, looking her dead in the eyes.“I love you, Megan.” He added. Megan turned red.It was the first time he ever said that he loved her.Richardson laughed at her reaction.“I do love you, Megan. I can’t imagine a life without you so no, divorcing you will hurt me more than it will hurt you.” He said.Present“Okay.” Megan said numb.“Megan…” Richardson said. “You do understand right?”“Goodnight, your majesty.” She wasn’t going to show him any emotion. He didn’t deserve that.Megan left his office and headed for her quarters, it was already past the usual time she

    Word traveled fast in the Jared mansion.The news was that Megan had slapped Richardson’s concubine who everyone now knew was Megan’s friend.The general perception was pity for the queen and disdain for the alpha. However a few people thought Megan was rude and ungrateful towards Aspen and Richardson.Megan however, was more worried about how the visitors from the west would take the rumor.“It’s the word around the castle.” One of Rhode’s aides said to Brian who reported directly to Rhode.“It seems that Luna is losing face amongst her own subjects. I almost feel sorry for her.” Brian said.Rhode felt indignant about the whole situation but there was nothing he could do to help Megan here. He felt all the more motivated to convince her to remarry him.His agenda for the day was simple, discuss with her about future collaborations between their clans.She needed her to see him as someone she could trust.Megan got out of bed and got ready for the day.

    The next morning, Rosetta and Brianna were drawing Megan’s bath when they heard a ruckus outside.“Is that Aspen, what is she doing in your quarters?”Brianna and Rosetta rushed out of the room.Aspen successfully swiped some gold jars from the hallway where Megan’s room was at.When the cleaners reported it missing, Aspen suggested that they searched everyone present.What Rosetta didn’t know was that Aspen had sent one of her maids to plant a piece of gold on Rosetta.During the search, one of the people searching found the gold on Rosetta.“That can’t be right! I’ve never touched anything in this hallway! I pass through it countless times a day.”“Yes! This is a mistake!” Brianna seconded.Everyone present was starting to murmur. Megan came out of her room, hearing the chaos.“What is the matter?” Everyone bowed. Aspen hated it.“Luna, some mini gold jars and trinkets are missing from the hall. Ms. Aspen suggested we do a search down of everyone who frequents the hallway and we fou

    Megan stretched awake as she felt the bright rays of sunlight hit her face from behind her closed lashes.Groaning, she opened her eyes, shocked to see Rosetta and Briana already awake and in her room talking in hushed tones.This had never happened before, no one rose earlier than the queen, but she guessed came with a lot of limitations, and for a moment she was unsure how to proceed. They seemed busy.“Oh my, my lady you are awake!” A shrill voice shook Megan from her thoughts and she looked up to see Rosetta running towards her with bright eyes.“Good morning my lady.” Brianna greeted with a softer tone and an even softer smile.“This is the first time the sun has woken before me.” Megan laughed lightly, as she stood up and allowed Rosetta to drape a silk robe over her.“For a moment I was unsure on how to act.” Megan grinned, and the smile was similar to a school girl's grin which was something her ladies had never seen before, and they looked at each other in delight.“You are s

    Aspen frowned as she stared at the man in front of her, Duke Elric, he claimed to be. She was suspicious, but given his ranking as a Duke she was reluctant to storm out. He was higher than she was and probably could ever be if she had tricked the gullible Richardson and played the homewrecker by ruining her friend's marriage.Knowing this, she sat back down with heaving breaths as her eyes narrowed with distrust and barely restrained anger.“My my, you seem to be fighting with yourself not to strangle me.” The strange man laughed, and Aspen clenched her hands. What she hated the most was being made fun of and it seemed like this gentleman was hellbent on doing that.“My Lord, I'm currently very busy and I would like to be left alone.” Aspen reiterated stiffly, hoping that was enough to get him to leave. But to her surprise and dismay, his cunning blues hardened as he glared down at her.“Did you just dismiss me?” He asked with clenched teeth and Aspen felt herself wilt. He was dangero

    “It’s delicious.” Megan said as she took her first bite out of the deliciously roasted venison.“It’s lamb.” Rhode said as he took a bite out of it.The two enjoyed a quiet lunch. Apparently, it was a rule that the king could not eat alone under any circumstance. There needed to be servers with a physician present in case there is a risk of food poisoning.Another thing that was very different from the East.After dinner, the couple walked back to Megan’s chambers. She didn’t show it but she was very glad that she didn’t have to continue with her little charade of being unemotional.She did it for years in the East but the thought of doing it again stressed her. She was grateful that she could be herself, whatever that meant and wasn’t quite ready to take on the role of the stoic queen.She didn’t show it but she was glad Rhode didn’t leave her to her thoughts and assumptions though he was late and she had already jumped into a million and one conclusions.When they entered her room,

    Megan froze as he walked towards her, pulling her towards him. His hand rested gently above her waist and his other hand, supporting her neck. She was frozen in shock, at a loss for words. “I’m sorry.” Megan could not ignore the pounding of her heart. It felt like anyone within hearing distance could hear, she was sure Rhode heard it. She stuttered, and she never stuttered, “I don’t understand…, my king.” That did it. “Oh, for heaven’s sake, Megan. Don’t do that with me, not you. I’m not my king to you.” Rhode paused. “I’m Rhode. Just Rhode.” Rhode held her eyes, his deep purple eyes boring a hole into her eyes. She had never been in a stare down before but she was clearly losing. Megan kept quiet, unsure of what to say in response. She was not upset at him for anything he did or did not do but she did have a resolve until just now. And Megan never broke her resolve but a deep purple pair of eyes staring into her soul was making her reconsider her decisions. “Is it somethin

    “Never, my lady…”“We would never think of such a thing.” Mary said to Mirabel, eyes filled with worry.Where was this suddenly coming from?Mirabel smiled, “I see. Let us go.”Mary and Lily both looked at themselves before following behind Mirabel. She was acting strangely but they knew to not ask questions. It was not their place to.In her room, Megan was actually surprised at the fact that she shed no tears despite the fact that she felt her heart physically shatter.Perhaps she cried out all her tears in the East.‘I did cry a lot.’ She thought to herself.

She stood beside Rhode while he and this unknown woman who looked very known to Rhode engaged in a staring competition with Rhode and he with her.Was this tension she felt?“My king.” The unknown woman curtsied and walked past her and Rhode.“Let us go.” Rhode said to her. Megan was greatly confused but masked her emotions. Was he not going to tell her who the lady was? Mirable, was it? She thought she heard him call her that.He continued pointing out different places to her but if she was being honest with herself, she heard nothing that he said.In fact, she was beginning to get pretty upset. She wasn’t asking for his entire history, she just wished he would tell her about people she would eventually see.Like that girl back at the inn and now this, Mirabel.She didn’t look like a nobody. She was dressed like a lady and had ladies with her.Did she live in the palace? She must since she was in the west quarters.M

    Megan turned a very bright shade of red, “what?” She blurted out, flushed. He was flirting way more than usual lately.Rhode chuckled. He admitted to himself that he did things intentionally so he could see Megan turn a bright shade of pink. He loved watching the stoic Megan Brighton getting all flustered.“You always tease me.” She said, plopping down on her bed, pouting.“I’m not teasing, my queen. I did miss you.” Rhode said, taking a seat at her vanity, where he had sat earlier.“I know I’ve asked this before but, how are you? Do you like it here? Do you like your room?” He paused, “Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable?”Megan smiled. He really was mindful of her.“You don’t have to worry so much about me, Rhode.” “I am very comfortable.” Megan paused, “Although, I can’t determine how things will be after the wedding.”“That is true. Nonetheless, I’m sure they would love you.” Rhode said, very sure.“They?” Megan asked, unsure of who he was referring to.“Your

    Rhode never opened the letter because he had no plans on ever getting married and thought that the letter would be filled with advice he was never going to have any use for. However, after he decided on his mission to the East all those months ago, he started to think that maybe he would have use for the letter after all.His plan did involve wooing Megan Brighton but a part of him did not believe he would be able to pull it off. She was married to her mate after all.Who would have thought?He broke the seal and opened the letter, met face to face with his brother’s nostalgic handwriting.He had often gone back to reread the other letters, which were helpful tips on how to be king, not that he took most of the advice. He and Michael had different ways of doing everything. It was the thought that Michael put into writing them, despite how ill he must have been that warmed his heart.Michael knew that Rhode would find the box.I’m writing this last because knowing you, you would probab

    Brianna did her best to hide the surprise she was sure was evident on her face, “sir Brian.” “Hello my lady, do you have a moment?” Brian asked her. She looked into the room to see Rosetta raising two thumbs to her, giving her the go ahead. “Okay.” Brianna breathed, closing the door behind her. The two walked down the hall and took a left turn down to the palace grounds. “I wanted to see you,” Brian started, “It troubled me that it seemed like we left on a bad foot earlier today.” “Oh.” Brianna said softly. She did not think he noticed. “Yes, I meant it when I said I would like us to be friends. I hate having misunderstandings.” Friends. That was the only word that rang in Brianna’s ears. Were they friends? “I understand Sir Brian. I did feel someway seeing you flinch at me but I now realize that you probably do not like it when people touch you. I should have asked before reaching for you.” Brianna said simply. For some reason she felt really flushed despite the fact that th
