< Serena >Alpha Trevor showed me the progress of the construction once I arrived in the market. What was once ashes and charred wood in the area now stood rows of houses and two single-storey buildings to serve as the town’s new market. He said that his pack would be able to finish it in just five days. I trusted him and he was able to deliver. Two days from now and all will be finished and that pleased me.I thanked him and his pack for their hard work, and gave a few advises too to enhance the aesthetic side of the building. They noted this, gladly agreeing to my idea.By late afternoon, William and I left, and during the travel time, I reflected on my meeting with Farryl. I understood her side. If I was her, I’d hate the king with all my heart too for stereotyping and hating women, but on the other hand, as a guardian to his realm, she shouldn’t have been one-sided. Couldn’t she sense that we had cons

< Serena >Excited to start with the preparations, I decided to leave Aero’s chamber early in the morning. He was still sleeping heavily and didn’t notice me when I left. In my room, I took a bath and changed. Thereafter, I went to the castle kitchen to meet with the cook. Aside from planning the menu for the party, I also needed breakfast. My stomach was growling and I owe it all to what happened last night—me getting dined instead of me dinning.In high spirits, I then continued to the grand hall. Aero’s Omega, Chris, a charming redhead, was already at the entrance personally supervising the set-up of the tables and chairs.“Your Highness, a pleasant morning,” he greeted, bowing low in deference to me.I smiled and stood near the huge doorway. “Good morning to you too, Chris. So, what’s the plan?” I asked, folding my arms over my chest and staring at the enormous size of the hall.His tall f

< Serena >Pretending that everything was fine–like I didn’t have an orgasm in front of all these people–I controlled my panting state and looked up. The man who had unknowingly interrupted us stood a couple of feet away, his innocent eyes lit towards me.Aero was seething, I could tell from the tight fist he made under the table, but he also was in control, making a considerate expression when he realized who it was.“Your Majesty,” General Halcynos lowered his head and placed a hand on his chest. “May I request one dance with Queen Serena? It would be an honor for this poor, old man.”I awarded him a smile, one that was agreeable to his request. The man was asking properly, but of course, the last decision would come from Aero, so I turned to him and waited for his answer.His face didn’t show any anger. It was masked well with his neutral expression. Then, suddenly, a

< Aero >I had no reason to see General Halcynos as someone I would get jealous of, so of course, I allowed Serena to dance with him. Honestly, out of all the men in this hall, he would be the only person I’d prefer Serena to dance with, but as far as trust goes, Elijah would be in the top rank, Halcynos would be second, and third would be my Beta and Alphas.I watched when they danced in the center of the dance floor, but soon, my attention was diverted to my brother who decided to approach me. He stood on my left, holding a wine flute that was already half empty.“You’re too stiff. Loosen up, brother. You’re the one who decided to throw a ball, so you should enjoy it,” he said before drinking the remaining contents of his flute.I remained silent, but took his advice into consideration. I admit I was feeling uneasy. Just seeing Serena surrounded by so many faces, so many males...it just

< Aero >"Brother!" Elijah's voice boomed across the receiving room the moment I heard the main door swung open. I already knew he'd be visiting me this early morning after my show of possessiveness last night. He was either happy that I got hitched for real or angry that I didn't tell him sooner. I was curious to know which reaction he'd show.Finishing up the buttons of my coat, I stepped outside my bedroom and faced him."Hey, what I saw last night, that was real right?" he asked in a hurry, his face completely curious.My mouth curved into a small smile."Keep your voice down, Serena is still asleep," I replied.Slowly, he stretched his head and looked past me to the double doors I had intentionally left open."Ha! I knew it!" he exclaimed in a joyful tone. "I knew you're going to surrender."Then, he gave me a smirk,
