Lenora's POV

I stared at the mysterious door, my mind racing with different questions. What could be inside? Why was Lucia so adamant that she couldn't show me?

I felt a shiver run down my spine as I wondered if I was missing out on something important.

Her words replayed in my mind: “The King has ordered that no one should ever be allowed in there.”

What could they be hiding? I stood there for a moment, my eyes transfixed on the door. I felt a sudden urge to open it, to know what was inside, but Lucia's warning echoed in my mind and I hesitated.

Plus the door was locked! Unlike other doors which weren't.

“I'll take my leave now, my Luna. Please don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything” Lucia bowed before walking away, leaving me alone in the hallway. I watched her leave, feeling a wave of frustration wash over me.

Why couldn't she just tell me what was going on?

I sighed and turned away from the door, deciding to head back to my room. I couldn't shake off the f

    Lenora's POV My eyes narrowed as I took in the smug expression on my step-sister's face. Her blonde hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, but her smile was more of a snarl, revealing perfectly white teeth. What a coincidence! Why do I have to see this bitch today of all days? “Melissa,” I spat, my voice dripping with disdain. “What are you doing here?” “Where have you been, sister? We have all been worried sick about you.” Her voice sounded sweet, but I wasn't buying it. She was never worried about me. It's evident that she was only trying to taunt me like she has always done. I scoffed loudly in annoyance, rolling my eyes. “Don't pretend like you were worried about me, Melissa. We both know that you are not,” The next minute, she burst into laughter. The sound of her laughter sent a shiver down my spine. “You are right, Lenora. I wasn't worried about you. Not one bit. In fact, I was even glad that you left” Her eyes were filled with malice and her hatred for me. S

    Alpha Axel's POV “Don't you think you went overboard by sending Luna Lenora away?” My Beta asked just when we were returning to the pack house. “What do you mean by that?” I stopped walking and a sigh escaped his lips. “Nothing really. I just don't like the fact that you sent her away, just like that without any money to take care of herself while ignoring her countless sacrifices for our pack. That was uncalled for,” “Are you trying to tell me how to act in my own pack?” “No, not at all. Alpha. I can never tell you how to run your pack. I was just wondering. You know how much Luna Lenora has taken care of you, taken care of the pack, acted like a true Luna, but Luna Melissa is not even making any attempts to act like a Luna,” He said and I shot him a glare. “How does a true Luna act, Derek?” “Taking care of the pack, serving the people and not just sitting at home doing nothing like your new Luna. That's how a ‘true Luna’ acts,” He said, placing emphasis on the true

    Axel's POV “That wouldn't be necessary, Beta. Lenora is with someone else now!” The familiar voice repeated and I turned around to see who it belonged to. It was none other than my pregnant Luna. “What do you mean by that, Melissa?” I asked as I took a step towards her, my heart pounding in my chest, even though I couldn't tell why it was beating fast. Why was I worried that she was already with someone else? Clearly, I don't regret sending her away, right? “Greetings, My Alpha,” She greeted with a slight bow and I nodded. I took her hands in mine and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Greetings to you too, my Luna. Care to tell me what you meant by that?” “Lenora is with someone else now.” She repeated and my brows furrowed in question. “Are you sure about this?” I inquired. “Yes, my Alpha. I bumped into her at the mall today.” She answered. “Wait a minute. Who is she with?” I asked. I could see the shock register on Derek's face too. Somehow I was glad that she was

    Melissa's POVI lay on my bed, surrounded by the remnants of my shattered hearts. The soft breeze blowing through the window was enough to calm me down on a normal day, but today, it did nothing to calm me down. Tears streamed down my face, soaking into the pillow as I replayed the hurtful conversation I had with him earlier:“The fact that I was the one who took Lenora's virginity on my bed is more than enough reason to trust her. If she wanted to cheat on me, trust me, I wouldn't have met her as a virgin.” What are you insinuating, Axel? Are you trying to say that since I wasn't a virgin when we met, I have a tendency to cheat on you?"I said what I said, Melissa" How could he say such a thing to me? I am Luna and the mother of his child for heaven's sake! How could he just disrespect me like that? I was still lost in my thoughts when the door creaked open and my mother walked in, a smile etched on her face. She had a bowl of freshly baked cookies on her hands and a glass o

    Melissa's POV I stared out the cab window, unsure where my mother was taking me. I felt a surge of confusion when I realized where we were. It was none other than the house of Elder Torrance, the Pack's senior elder. “What are we doing here, mother?” I asked as soon as the cab pulled up in Elder Torrance's driveway. We stepped out of the cab, but she just smiled and told me to be patient. “You will know when we go in, my dear!” She winked at me as she paid the cab driver. “Greetings, Luna! Greetings Ma'am” The doorman greeted us as soon as he saw me and my mother approaching the door and I nodded at him, while my mother just waved at him. “Is Elder Torrance inside?” She asked him and he nodded as he opened the door for us and we stepped inside. “Torrance!” My mother called out and shortly, Elder Torrance appeared from one of the doors with a smile on his face. “Matilda.” He said as he pulled my mother into a hug. I watched in shock as my mother and Elder Torrance share

    Melissa's POV “Mother!” A startled gasp escaped my lips, but she just shrugged. “Don't judge me, baby girl. I am a woman who always does everything to get what she wants and whoever stands in the way of me achieving my goals would have to be sent straight to hell. There are no two ways about it.” She said those words like they were the most casual things to say. I just can't believe what I heard. I can't believe that my mother was responsible for Tricia's death. It was too much to take in. Didn't the autopsy report state she took a dangerous poison that killed her? Does that mean that the reports were fabricated to cover up the true cause of her death? “Wait a minute, mother, what about the autopsy report
..” I trailed off and she scoffed. “Isn't it obvious? I did what needed to be done. Those reports were fabricated by me. I couldn't let your father know that Tricia was murdered. Therefore, I paid the doctors to have it done” “Wow!” I mouthed in disbelief and she shot me a

    Melissa's POV. “Oh my goodness! Melissa!!!” Standing in the doorway was none other than my mother, her expression a mixture of shock and fury. The air in the room grew thick with tension, and even though I felt as though the ground had been ripped out from under me, I was relieved that it was my mother and not Alpha Axel. Only heaven knows what would have been my fate. What would I have said to him? It would have definitely confirmed his words earlier, that I had the tendency to cheat on him. “What the hell is going on here?” My mother demanded as she got in, closing the door behind her. My breath caught in my throat. I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. Damien stepped back, his hands raised in a gesture of surrender. “This isn't what it looks like, Matilda.” He said, his voice calm but firm. “I only came to say hi to Melissa and my son
.” Very quickly, I slapped Damien hard across his face, thereby cutting him off from whatever he was about to say. “A

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   A MOMENT OF TENDERNESS

    Lenora's POV I sat curled up on the cushioned chair of my balcony, my fingers lightly gripping the edges of the book I had gotten from the library. My favorite book by my favorite author, Marietta. The words on the pages blurred as my mind drifted, replaying the events of yesterday. Heat rushed to my cheeks as the memory – Alpha Zade, standing bare before me, his chiseled physique full on display. I could vividly remember how I had turned on my heels and fled faster than I had ever moved, even though the image had already burned itself into my mind. And now, as if summoned by my thoughts, I heard the door open and just then, I heard the unmistakable sound of footsteps entering into my room. My heart leaped into my throat. Even without turning, I already knew who it was. Alpha Zade. My powerful mate. I stiffened in my seat, gripping the book as if it could shield me from the presence of the only man who had been occupying my thoughts since yesterday. I didn't dare look

    Lenora's POV He wanted me. With each pass of my hands, I grew rougher, edging closer to his cock, teasing him just enough to make him squirm. I wanted to feel him leap into my touch, to crave it. Slowly, I increased the pressure, until I finally wrapped my fist around him, feeling the heat radiating as he twitched in anticipation. His cock stiffened in my palm, and the dampness between my thighs mirrored the intensity of his growing need. My lips pressed against his neck in time with every stroke, tasting his skin as his breathing became ragged. I quickened my pace, my fingers curling tighter around his length. His moans deepened, growing louder with each squeeze, the tension building with every deliberate stroke.“Fuck!!!” He jutted while he leaned into my touch. He seemed to want more, so I decided to give it. I pressed my hand against his sternum to steady him. “Stay like this,” I whispered as he lay there on his back, cock standing to attention as if saluting me. His breathin

I love the fact that we weren't spending our honeymoon at the pack house. At least we get to do whatever we want. A blush crept up my cheeks as I thought about my last words. ‘Whatever we want’. “What do you mean?” Zade asked, his brows furrowed slightly. I needed no soothsayer to tell me that he knew what I meant. He clearly wanted me to spell it out. Two can play this game after all. “I’m willing to show you what I mean.” I cooed, while my eyes narrowed in determination. Zade took a measured breath and looked me up and down. He knew what I meant, but I reworded it, just in case. “In case you need a little clarification

  • The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna   DO NOT TRY ANYTHING FUNNY

    Princess Lara's Point Of View It's either now or never. I can't let my father dictate my life for me. I have someone I love and I won't let him ship me like I'm some goods to a beast like Alpha Zade. “Relax, Lara. You shouldn't call him a beast yet. You haven't had any dealings with him.” Lyra said to me, but I rolled my eyes. “Trust me, Lyra, he's a beast. No one has ever come in contact with him and survived it. He is.” “Well, you wouldn't say that unless someone had. So relax. He might not even be as bad as you painted him.” “I don't care to know, Lyra. I can't get married to him. I have to leave.” “Come on, Lara, don't do something that you are gonna regret later.” she pleaded, but I turned deaf ears to her pleas and before I could help it, I bolted for the door. But that was the worst mistake I've ever made in my life, because the next minute, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I needed no soothsayer to tell me that it was my father. “Your Majesty

Wincing, I grabbed my temples, in an effort to alleviate the pain, but it did nothing to help the pain. I gazed around the room trying to recall how I ended up here and almost immediately, the memories hit me like a wave. I gritted my teeth in anger. That bitch! She had come to my house some hours ago, and pretended to want to talk to me, yet she had drugged me and dragged me here. I'll never forgive her for this. I need to get out of here, but how? I quickly stared around the room, trying to find any object that I'll use to hit whoever comes in. Thanks, I found a hockey stick and very quickly, I hid it under the pillows.

    Princess Lara's Point Of View (6) Today is Alpha Zade's Mating ceremony? I couldn't believe my ears. No, I didn't want to believe it. “Are you sure about this, Sara?” “Yes, my Princess. The news was published on the television. And it was announced by a verified Blog, therefore I have a feeling that it's true. Today is indeed his mating ceremony.” Wait a minute. Alpha Zade has a mate, yet he has decided to get married to me? Or did he not care about his mate's feelings? Did the poor woman, whoever she is, even have any idea that her mate was getting married to the Princess of Samaria Pack in the next full moon night? “What if she knows about it, yet she still agreed to it?” Lyra mumbled? “She might love him and wouldn't mind. Don't you think so?” Goodness! I don't want to believe that she'll really agree to it. I took my attention back to Sara. “Who is the woman in question?” “Her name wasn't published, nor was her picture uploaded either.” She replied and I rolled my eyes. C

What exactly is this bitch trying to gain? She isn't even the Queen yet she's already acting like an all-powerful bitch.As usual, I ignored her and made to enter my room, but her filthy hands shot out and stopped me. Anger washed over me, but I didn't turn to face her. “Take those filthy hands off me right now!” I hissed through gritted teeth and almost immediately, she let go of me. She didn't need to be told twice. Now I turned around to face her. “What were you saying, Morana?” “I'm sure you aren't deaf. Where the hell were you coming from? Have you gone to meet your lover again?” What the hell has gone into this bitch? How could she be so stubborn and deaf at the same time? My father has warned her to refrain from getting involved in matters that don't concern her, yet she never seems to listen.

    Princess Lara's Point Of View (4) I tried calling Dexter's phone, but it didn't go through and therefore I decided to let him be and call him later. Since I was bored, I decided to take a walk around the palace walls. “Sara?” I called my personal maid and she came running to meet me. “Yes, my Princess.” As usual, she had a smile on her face. I must boldly say she is the one person who has taught me to smile. I emulated the habit of smiling from her. I could remember that day she came into the Kingdom for the first time. Even when she still worked as an ordinary maid, she had a smile on her face. “I want to take a stroll around the Pack. Mind joining me?” It wasn't an order like other Princess would have done. It was a request. Boy, I rarely order her around. And she never fails to remind me that I was her master and thus I have every right to do whatever I want with her, but I don't ever want to do that. After all, my mother never did. That was one reason why she was loved by
