Chapter 20: Dawn is Not Yet Morning

Evening finally came and I found myself reading a book. I don’t usually read books because the last time I held one, Elodie grabbed it from my hand and smacked it on my face, resulting in my nose bleeding. Now, sitting for dinner before a roaring fireplace, snow relentlessly falling outside, I never felt more relaxed. I’m reading a love story, not sure how this came to the Alpha King’s possession and gathering dust in this little library. It was about an Alpha who fell in love with one of the daughters of the Moon Goddess, cursed to forget him every single day when the dawn breaks. Right. Another reason to cry tonight. But the smell of oranges that Farra included in my dinner along with the snowdrops she added to the vase on my vanity mirror rippled something in my heart. One that I have tried to tell my heart to forget and bury it where I cannot find it lurking as one of my feelings. But those feelings lingered. Summoned, it

Chapter 21: Apologies For Breakfast

'The Alpha King seemed to devour any storm passing by just to show me his effort for us to dine together for the second time,’ I was telling myself. Begging myself. ‘Please don’t run to the toilet yet.’ I swallowed. Perhaps I should fart in my room first before meeting the Alpha King. My watery bowels turned even more watery. Mara howled at my thoughts, even the beads of sweat now forming on my forehead despite the cold. My wolf’s laughter continued, making my cheeks red. I hope Kallias doesn’t smell it, or at least scent it in me. Mara laughed even more. “What are you blushing at?” Kallias gently let go of me and helped me stand straight. “Can’t I just blush at my mate?” That foolish attempt to flirt in front of a cold Alpha is, well, foolish. But the Alpha King smiled, even if it didn’t reach his eyes. “Ladies first?” He waved a hand to the round table adorned with a sapphire blue tablecl

Chapter 22: A Warmed, Frozen Heart

Eating dessert was at least not a burden for my stomach. The rest of the meal hadn’t been that bad. Thankfully, I somehow warmed towards my mate—if his secret glances in my direction weren’t warming enough. I cleared my throat. “Beta Geneva told me of the upcoming Alpha Winter Ball. Am I required to be there as your Lu—I mean as your mate?” I looked away briefly before sighing, “Look. It’s fine for me if you want me there out of courtesy but it’s also okay for me if you just want me to stay here. After all, my father hasn’t yet known of my fate.” The last world felt like ash in my tongue. True, what Kallias and I had was fate. Destiny. But I don’t know if my father and sister know of those words when it comes to me. Kallias just listened as I stuttered. But then, his gaze softened afterward. “Evadne... it’s not even a month after you arrived here. I’m not forcing you. If you want to come, come. If you don’t...” he sighed and dragged his gaze to the

Chapter 23: A Chilling Past

“What?” I swallowed. I only compelled myself to let my throat bobbed as a sign of reaction. It was a mere whisper of demanding him to ‘what the fuck does that mean’. He shrugged. “Just in case. For future uses,” and then he winked at me. The Alpha King found himself sitting near the fireplace, chilling. As if the whole weather outside is burning cold. The Omega seamstress and I just talked about the dress: how long I want it, the color, would I like them elegant and sensual or sexy and provoking. All throughout, Kal just looked at us—looked at me. Studying me, drinking in every inch of me and the way I stand or speak to the Omega and how I slouch and straighten my back. Kal is so...complicated. So complex for an Alpha King.Or perhaps all Alpha Kings have complex personalities. I do not know what he wants from me or what I want from him— Well, I do want him to protect me from my father and sister and

Chapter 24: A Cunning Kiss

“Now that’s how you fight, Luna Evadne.” Beta Caesar praised as soon as I held my ground, my breath caught.“That sparring fucking warmed my bones!” I replied, laughing like I hadn’t almost broken my arm.A female laugh echoed from behind me, accompanied by a series of clapping. “So glad you’re now confident with your strength, Luna.” Beta Geneva also winked.My cheeks heated, not because of the two Betas' compliments but because I am now content in my stay here in the Night Blood Pack that my body now adjusts to the cold and relishes it.That's my routine every morning since then: I train with Beta Caesar, the pups joining me. I don't know if it's because of their interest in learning physical combat as early as now or if they just want to see me fight and train against the harsh weather.I wiped the cold sweat on my brow, continuing to punch the dummy made from dried hay. I imagine it as my enemies—or perhaps a deeper part of me has imagined it as my father—as I pour out my anger wi

Chapter 25: He Belongs to Me

I stood there, frozen. Never mind that the beautiful view of the sprawling frozen lake is at my side.Beta Elise's eyes are on me as she deepened the kiss. Kallias didn't seem to budge and I can't tell if he's just allowing her or he's waiting for the right moment to snap her neck.I blinked several times, hoping it was just an illusion. But my heart, my wolf, knew it wasn't. This was real. Ice seemed to form at the bottom of my feet as if the Alpha King, my mate—my fucking mate—willed his magic to keep me rooted in place. I narrowed my eyes at them, but then quickly schooled my features into neutrality. I’m just his mate. I am just a banished Alpha daughter while he’s the current reigning Alpha of all Alphas, ruler of all packs, and the king of winter. I shouldn’t be bothered if he’s kissing Elise or any females at this point. No love binds us anyway. No mutual feelings stretch between us other than the sole respect for the mating bond

Chapter 26: Wickedly Dressed

Kallias didn’t see her. I didn’t bother to tell him either.I never want our first kiss to be like this. But Mara and a deep part of me was elated that our first kiss was like this: with a lone audience present, and that audience is none other than Beta Elise.His lips trembled as he kissed me once again. Even when he pulled away and a plume of icy mist escaped his lips as he exhaled, I can see that he’s somewhat...anxious.I lifted my gaze back to the corner, but Beta Elise is gone.I sighed in relief. Running my eyes at him from head to toe and said in a rather casual voice, “You absolutely know how to dress to impress, don’t you?”“I do.” He surveyed my look again. “So are you.”I swallowed. “I...impressed you?”He winked. The Alpha King really now feels comfortable around me, and it made me blush. “Let’s go?” he exhaled, his icy breath cooling my cheeks as he whispered.I smiled at him, one that I hope melts his frozen heart. “Let’s go.”***The venue of the Alpha Winter Ball is en

Chapter 27: Rogue or Luna?

A set of unannounced footsteps came rushing behind me. A very familiar male’s scent slapped the living daylights out of my soul. “It’s your father,” Mara, my wolf, whispered.And then, someone cleared their throat behind me. I thought it was one of the Alpha King’s guards sent to escort me away from this chaos. But I was met with a slap from a male’s hand as soon as I turned around.A pair of furious eyes and a flaring nose glared back at me. “Which part of my order as an Alpha to never return and show your face to either of us did you not understand?!”I stifled a cry and a gasp. I only stared at him with wide eyes as I clutched my reddened cheeks. “Father.”“Get out of here, Evadne.” His voice now drew more attention. More and more guests now turned to us. Of course, people always lend their ears to drama and gossip. Who wouldn’t?“You’re useless wolf only spoils the crowd of Alphas and Lunas!” Alpha Marcus grabbed my arm to drag me but my glove fell off instead. He looked at it and

Chapter 28: She is the Alpha King’s Luna

The Alpha King came to my defense, they say. And he was furious, they say.“What is she to him?” one of them whispered, wondering.Elodie and Alpha Marcus are both wondering the same, especially since that look Kallias threw me definitely meant something. It meant everything.“Apologize to her.” Kal directed his words at Elodie before tossing me a gentle gaze.But my sister shoved me aside and presented herself in front of the Alpha King. I simply rolled my eyes at her attempt.“It was her, Alpha King. She started the fight—she’s always a chaotic mess! I’m ashamed to have a sister like her—”Alpha King Kallias threw her against the wall with a wave of his hand and invisible strength, like how I imagine he threw those enemies he’d captured in the dungeons just by means to torture them.It happened so fast for my eyes to catch. One moment, Elodie was pointing a finger at me, framing me for this ‘chaotic mess’. In the next blink of my eyes, I heard the gasps of the ones around me.My sis

Chapter 29: Like a Thunder Amid a Winterstorm

His words remained suspended in the air as I processed each word carefully. “I thought mother died of childbirth?” “She did...” he sighed before adding, “She also did not.” I scoffed and straightened my back. “For what it’s worth, I think mother dying early is a salvation for her. At least she wouldn’t be able to witness that her precious mate and Alpha and husband doesn’t even have the backbone to protect his own pack.” Stunned, Alpha Marcus’s mouth fell open in a surprised gasp. “You—you think you can now talk to me like that now that you’re the Alpha King’s Luna?!” “Yes.” My lips slowly spread into a smile.“Whatever you do, you’ll never have me back.” I said with unabashed pride. “Not as your daughter or as a member of your pack. You’ve banished me, remember? If that’s what you’re trying to do, then I advise you to turn around and walk away.” I tossed a look at my sister from afar. “And teach Elodie some manners fit for a pack’s Luna
