CHAPTER 22: SHE'S PRIMORDIAL EVERLY:I put on the Lavender dress I bought from the market and moved closer to the mirror. I stood and admired myself as the dress hugged my curves. Given the way I was raised, living a life of luxury was something I didn't know I could indulge in. Now , I felt so feminine and elegant and ultimately… beautiful. Someone knocked at the door and snapped me out of my thoughts. Before I could answer, Kaelan walked in. His commanding presence filled the room, and his sharp gaze immediately landed on me.“You’re rying on your new clothes?” he asked, smiling as his eyes roamed over me.I felt my cheeks flush. “I, uh… yes. Just wanted to see if they fit.”“That dress fit perfectly,” he said, with a low and husky voice. He walked over to where I was and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his chest. The warmth of his touch sent a shiver down my spine.“I hope you enjoyed your day, my future Luna?” he asked. His thumb caressed my cheek, and his gol

CHAPTER 24: POISONED WITH THE WOLFSBANE EVERLY:The words of the priestess made me anxious. “What do you mean?”“You will know when the time comes,” she said cryptically. “Trust your instincts, child. They will guide you.”Kaelan placed a protective arm around me as we left the temple. I looked up at him as we made our way home. “I don't know, Kaelan, but I think I believe everything she said.”“Me too. And I believe in you.” he said as he kissed my forehead.As we stepped into the threshold of the castle, Seraphina stepped forward boldly and gave Kaelan a hug.I was very exhausted and even feared I might collapse any moment. The ritual had drained every strength in me and I couldn't wait to enjoy the comfort of my bed. But as we approached the grand doors of the castle, I heard a woman’s voice.“Alpha!”Then Seraphina just appeared from no where and threw her arms around him.I froze, the sight rooting me in place.“Seraphina,” Kaelan said in a casual way. He didn’t return her embr

CHAPTER 26: KILL HER!EVERLY:Minutes later, the kitchen staff was rounded up and brought to the main hall. Ava, the cook, stood trembling, while Maria, my maid, twisted her fingers nervously.Kaelan’s voice was like a whip as he addressed them. "Who prepared Everly's lunch today?""I… I did, my king," Ava stammered."And who served it?"Maria stepped forward hesitantly. "It was me, Your Majesty. But I only brought the tray from the kitchen. I didn’t touch the food."Kaelan’s piercing gaze swept over them both. "If either of you is lying, I will find out. Do not test me.""I swear, I'm innocent," Maria cried, tears streaming down her face.I stepped forward, placing a hand on Kaelan’s arm. "Kaelan, I’ve known these.two for months. Let’s dig deeper before convicting them."He tightened his jaw but nodded. "Fine. But we can't let them go yet. They have to be kept in a cell until the investigation is over. if they’re innocent, someone else is guilty.”Kaelan ordered the guards to sweep t

CHAPTER 28: DEFEATING THE ROGUES EVERLY:I tried to reach Kaelan through the mind link but I couldn't connect with him. He must be out of the pack. I needed to eat so badly but I didn't want Maria and Ava handling my food right now.The next option I had was to buy take out food. I knew a canteen close to the bar where I once worked and their food was good. So I decided to go get some food before the sun gets hotter.It took me thirty minutes to get there and luckily, the canteen wasn't so busy, as most people already had their breakfast. I paid for my food and headed home immediately. I clutched the brown paper bag of food as if it was some kind of treasure. The scent of freshly made pancakes wafted up, and I couldn’t help but inhale deeply. It was a simple meal, but it felt like a lifeline after being without food for almost 24 hours.I humed a song and enjoyed the cool air as I walked along the path that led back to Crescent Moon. Suddenly, a familiar but pungent scent hit my nos

CHAPTER 30: THE PREPARATION KAELAN:When I woke up the following day, Duncan’s voice came through the mind link. “Alpha, please come downstairs. We need you to see how we want to go about decorating the hall.”I had informed him of my intention to crown Everly today during the full moon. And I want to host a little party.I turned to Everly who lay by my side, “Come with me, we have work to do.” I helped her up on her feet and put her hand in mine. I surveyed the preparations for the party tonight when we arrived at the hall. The grand hall was already buzzing with activity, and the air was thick with anticipation. I leaned against the doorway, and watched as wolves scurried around, arranging tables, hanging banners in silver and deep blue, and stringing lanterns that would glow like stars."Alpha,” I heard Duncan call out to me. “Is there something I need to know? Why the sudden decision?”“I have many enemies, Duncan. If I fix a date, they'd have time to plot.”. Duncan nodded i
