The whole room was as silent as a graveyard save for the loud beatings of Summer's heart, thumping loudly in her chest. Summer's body was frozen, her knees glued to the floor with her eyes fixed on the elder who was about to place the crown on her head."Summer, get up on your feet now before I come and pull you up myself!" Alan's voice boomed as he made his way toward Summer. Not only had Alan stormed into the throne room to disrupt the coronation but he had begun to make a scene."Do you really think that someone like you would ever become Luna?!" Alan shot at her."What.... what is the meaning of this, Alan?" Summer spun her head around with a confused expression on her face to address her future mate."What is the meaning of what? Face it, Summer, you're not fit to rule this pack!" Alan spat out at her."What is the meaning of this embarrassment, Alan?" Summer sneered. At this point, all eyes had fallen on her, trying to make out the reason why her future husband didn't want her t

Summer's eyes blinked open to an unfamiliar room. She sat up on the huge bed, flicking her eyes around to assess her surroundings as her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.The last thing she could remember was being battered by her people, she shivered as she recalled the memory of several hands beating on her. Her eyes stung with tears at the humiliation and betrayal by Alan and her people. She could not comprehend how the same people she had dedicated her life to, had turned their backs on her in the blink of an eye.She was so immersed in her thoughts that she barely registered the entrance of another person in the room."I see you're awake!" The deep voice resounded in the room, snapping Summer out of her reverie."What-"She jumped out of the huge bed and instantly stopped mid sentence at the sight before her.Every pack was aware of the Lycan king and how powerful he was. Summer knew without doubt as she stared into those blue orbs that the Lycan king was peering back at her."I'm

Summer was on the edge of a mental breakdown. After she had made a promise for vengeance the other night, she thought everything would suddenly fall into place, but she was no closer to achieving her goal. This was because there was one person standing between her and her first step to getting revenge–Dominic.He had made it clear that she was not allowed to leave the palace, but she was not going to give up so easily.Something else was bothering her, she would sometimes have these weird dreams that she couldn't understand, but she had a feeling that they were somehow connected to Dominic. Her mind was filled with burning questions and a lot of unpleasant words for him, if only she had gotten the chance to confront him, again.She had tried to speak to the Lycan king every day, but he was never available or barely gave her the time of day. On some rare occasions she would catch sight of him watching her from afar with a distinct look in his eyes, but he would disappear before she cou

The dreams were back again. This time they came at her more intensely than they had been the last few times she had had them. What the hell was this about her being dressed in ancient regalia?This time, she saw herself dancing and turning around in a cave that was covered with relics. She looked completely different from her normal self. It looked like her soul had left her body and possessed the body of a stranger. A powerful stranger at that because she could feel the energy as it seeped through her veins.Summer kept thinking about it all day; she sat by the table lost in thoughts; she didn't even notice when it was time to take her bath.The soft knock on her door and the sound of the door opening were what signaled to her that Hilda had come in. She had a big kettle in her hand."Ready to take a bath, ma'am?" Hilda asked her with a smile on her lips, but Summer was silent. Hilda noticed this and was puzzled. It was unlike Summer to be completely silent. She probably didn't even

The guests at the fancy dinner kept chatting and clinking glasses, creating a lively but tense atmosphere. Summer was lost in thought, her heart racing as she tried to handle her tricky situation. Just as she began to understand the conversations around her, a shift in the mood caught her attention.Dominic had taken his seat at the head of the table, scanning the room to ensure the earlier tensions had eased. Summer could feel his strong presence beside her, commanding respect and stirring her curiosity and inner conflict. As she tried to shift her thoughts, a new person entered the dining hall, drawing everyone's attention at once.Jessica made a grand entrance that matched her bold personality. Dressed in a stunning gown that sparkled in the soft light, highlighting her figure, her laughter cut through the quiet conversations. She confidently crossed the room, her eyes gleaming with mischief.Elara's face brightened when she saw her friend approaching. "Hey, Jessica! Right on time!
