[Present day]Anna walked down the sturdy stairs of the castle in long khaki pants and a crop top, her preferred clothes for gardening. Her dark blond hair was tied up in a messy bun and tendrils of it fell on each side of her face in a pretty way. She held her tiny watering can in her hand, it was the one her father had given her on her last birthday, it was colorful and she loved it so much she had no desire to put it in the gardening supply room, instead, it returned to her room with her every night when the workers were done cleaning it, and returned to the garden with her every morning.She skipped down the stairs acting like a seven-year-old child, even though she was a young woman very well in her nineteenth year, shouting a cheerful good morning to the women who passed by her with a basket of clothes, obviously going to carry out their share of the morning chores. With every good morning she chimed, she got a smile as a reward, her light gray eyes mesmerizing them and causing

Myron gritted his teeth and punched the bag continuously, he has been angry for days, no, weeks, even up until now, he didn’t understand how he got himself entangled in a royal mess such as this.All he had done was attend one royal ball at the palace. Not even desiring to interfere with the palace and the political drama of the realm, he had always left that kind of thing to his gamma, Winston, who was not only obsessed with the political life of those greedy men but was also in love with the large amount of information that he got his hands on. He as Alpha had never cared or stopped him because in truth, his involvement and his being informed, kept them and their pack on the safer side, and that was the only thing he cared about. But this time Winston had told him that he needed to come to the palace to attend that particular ball, he had told him that the king had been desperate to meet him and he knew why.Myron personally didn’t care about the king, yes, he respected and acknowl

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Princess Anna," Avi said again looking smug and Anna nodded with embarrassment, not even sure how to react. In all her life as a princess, she had never been so humiliated. The man she was mated to by her father already had a mate? And a true one at that? So what was she? A pet? A second wife? A mistress? Her mind ran wild, but she was not the only one with an ugly face, Archie, as well as their entire entourage which were mainly the king’s personal guards from the palace, who all stood behind her were displeased as Avi wasn’t silent when she announced her claims over the Alpha.Anna couldn’t help but look at Myron who had a complicated expression on her face, one that she couldn’t easily read. He said nothing, not that she expected him to, it’s not like he would rebuke his mate in front of them. She then looked at the beta and the gamma and saw their livid faces, it was not that they didn’t know, they just didn’t plan to tell her, at least not yet.Sh

Anna followed Winston into the mansion which was about four-story high, she walked calmly behind him followed by the men that her father had sent with her. Winston, as if not bothered by the intimidating presence of the men who made no attempt to pretend to be friendly, especially after all that had happened outside, led them into the house. "This is the living room." He said as they walked into the family room which was large and modern, a 64 inches TV sat there surrounded by leather black sofas and chairs, and the living room looked very warm and cozy unlike the family rooms in the palace that had only a fireplace. The thought of that made Anna smile, she had always been a fan of warmth and family, and seeing a warrior pack that should be known for violence create something like this made her heart curious. "Does the whole pack come here to hang out?" Anna asked a little excitedly as she looked around, Winston saw her excitement but shrugged. "Used to, when the previous Luna was

Winston and Archie walked away from Anna’s room on the fourth floor, down the stairs to the third floor silently, neither of them saying a word to the other. Winston finally came to a stop in front of one of the numerous doors that lined up the brightly lit corridor of the third floor.“This is your room,” Winston said and Archie sighed and walked towards it without saying a word.Winston watched him place a hand on the doorknob, about to go into the room, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.“We are not bad people, you know.” He said and Archie stopped at the door, he turned around to look at Winston with a frown on his face.“I know you care about the princess, in fact, I have begun to do my findings about the princess from the moment I found that the Luna was going to be her, and I know you have been protecting and taking care of her since she was a child. I cannot promise that we are going to treat her as perfectly as she is treated in the palace, but I promise she would
