"Alright then," he said. "I'll be done with my meeting in a few minutes. You should come and wait for me in the garden, I’ll get to you soon." I nodded, as if he could see me, and went back to the garden where I was before."Seriously, after this morning, you're still acting like this," Mel suddenly spoke to me."Oh, so now you want to talk?" I frowned. "Well, maybe after this morning, he shouldn't be asking a woman out to the ball.” The king was meant to have so many concubines and his mate. But I just wanted all the attention to myself, I didn't care how selfish it was.Beta came to join me in the garden. He had his hair combed, wearing a black tank top and gray shorts. He had changed into casual clothes, and now that he was up close, he seemed a lot more attractive than I was used to. I didn't know if it was because I was self-conscious about going to the ball with him, but he really looked hot right now.I bowed in acknowledgment of his presence and looked up at him. "So what do y

I wasn't sure I could maintain my composure but I went back to the ball room knowing that I wouldn't cry if there were many people present .I found beta standing alone while others were still indulged in the dance and when his eyes met mine I immediately broke into a smile. “is everything okay?” He asked raising one eyebrow. I nodded positively, “yes.” He took my hand and resumed slow dancing, “Are you sure?” “Yes,” I just wanted to move past it and not talk about it. There was silence between us at first and then he flipped me around pausing my dance movements, “you don't look like you're okay, if anything is up tell me.” I wanted to keep lying to him and say I was OK but the minute I opened my mouth to speak tears began to fall from my eyes. I could feel this internal panic as he immediately put his hand on my back, leading me out of the ballroom quietly. Once we were outside I buried my face in my arms feeling embarrassed, “I am so sorry.” He held my shoulder and tried to

Kira pov"We have a Luna."Lucy announced.I watched in shock as the king walked out of the room. I had come out in the urgency of the emergency meeting.I knew this day would come but a part of me had been resisting it.As I walked out an alarm on full speed, not wanting to break into tears with everyone watching, I felt beta's hand on my shoulders. I brushed it off immediately."Wait!" He called back.I ignored him, making my way out of the palace I couldn't head into my room.When I saw he wouldn't stop following me, I turned around to yell at him, "just because you say I'm your mate, or that I'm heartbroken, doesn't mean I'm automatically going to fall in love with you so please leave me alone and stop trying to comfort me I don't want any of your pity party."I knew my words were mean but I was not in a good state of mind and I just wanted to be alone. I found a spot in the garden and realised that this was a spot that brought me great peace.I slipped down against a tree buryin

I don't know why my heart was beating so fast as I headed to his room. One of his guards let me in and there he was sitting on his couch, penning something down and so focused on it. I stood there waiting for him to say something but he didn’t bother to look at me. There was an awkward silence and when I could no longer bear it I broke it, “you wanted to see me?” He finally looked up at me and eyed me from head to toe, “are you good?” There was barely any emotion in his tone. I nodded at him and waited for him to say more. He nodded in response, “alright I wanted to make sure.” “Is that all?” He raised a confused eyebrow at me. “What more could there be?” “You have to be joking your majesty, how can that be all you have to say?” He banged the desk hard as he got to his feet, earning a flinch from me. “What am I supposed to say?!” He raised his voice at me, “go on my fucking knees and tell you I’m sorry for marking another woman?!” I had no idea where the confidence came fro

“What do you mean by he's been poisoned?” I stared at him blankly. I feel like I misheard him.“We still don't know details but …”I didn't let him finish speaking. I pushed him out of my way. But, he quickly held my shoulders, rooting me to the ground. “What are you doing?”“I need to get out of here.” I yelled at him.“Get a hold of yourself, get out of here and do what?”“What do you mean he's been poisoned? I can't just stay if you're doing nothing I have to…”“We'll take care of it on the surface you just stay put.”“I can't I…”“Enough!” He raised his voice at me all of a sudden. “There is literally nothing you can do about it so just stay put and let me handle things.”I shook my head fast , “there is no way in the world I'm just going to let you lock me in you're like I'm some sort of prisoner.”“That was the deal, i'm not going to let you leave now for your own good.”I began to shake my head fast, “how is this for my own good, there is no way I can survive the king is not fin
