All Chapters of The Kept Lover Turns Out to Be the Wolf King: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Everyone present was either highly amused or utterly shocked.The butler, who was a moment late in finding Emilia, broke out in a cold sweat. He apologized profusely as he stood behind Emilia, then ushered her upstairs.Emilia tugged my hand again. “Come with me.”“As you command, Your Royal Highness.”I smiled, winked at Emilia, and obediently allowed her to pull me out of the crowd and away from the main banquet hall.From the butler's explanation, interspersed with Emilia’s occasional input, I understood that Emilia had been having her afternoon nap when the banquet started earlier that evening.The Wolf King and Queen doted on their eight-year-old youngest daughter, so they had instructed the servants not to wake her.No wonder some people had found it strange earlier, when only the Wolf King and Lucas stood beside Clara, that the little princess was nowhere to be seen. Rumor had it that every member of the Royal Family spoiled her, yet she wasn't present during Clara's address. S

After leaving the room first, Lucas returned to the ballroom, where he continued his socializing with effortless ease. He then publicly announced the Moon Trial, which was of concern to all packs, declaring that the Wolf King had officially entrusted him with the entire process as the person in charge.This news exploded like a bomb, stirring up the entire werewolf community.Even the more reserved werewolves immediately flocked to Lucas after he brought up the Moon Trial. Even if they didn't know the most appropriate way to phrase their questions, gathering any scrap of information would be beneficial.The Moon Trial was practically a competition held every five years that could reshuffle the resources and development of the packs. Even if some werewolves at the banquet were not selected by their own pack as competitors, bringing back any information would be a contribution to their pack.Others who approached Lucas were opportunistic nobles. Not every noble possessed the business ac

“The Prince instructed that you may go up, but...” The receptionist paused, pointing at me. “Only she is allowed up.”“Alright.” My secretary didn't press the issue. After all, we had expected to be refused on this sudden, unannounced visit, and were prepared for a long battle, even planning to plead our case repeatedly. The chance to see Lucas now was an unexpected bonus. My secretary returned to the car to wait. I took the access card and walked inside, quickly disappearing from the ground floor.Naturally, I didn't see the receptionist’s look of resentment behind me. She had worked here for two years and had rarely seen the Prince, whose eyes never glanced her way when he passed by, let alone allowed her access to the top floor. Yet this Luna, an older woman from some unknown pack, could go straight up without an appointment. The receptionist shot a fierce glare toward the spot where my figure had vanished.Inside the elevator, I stared blankly through the glass at the outside worl

The rest of the itinerary went smoothly. After the core artworks were confirmed for the last time, the art transport company took them away. I calculated the curation time for the first gallery, which the art manager had secured, and it aligned perfectly with the time frame the jewelry design team had promised me for their final draft.After a flurry of work, I looked up at the window and realized the sky had completely darkened.My secretary was used to my work pace and had already ordered dinner for me. As soon as I finally took a breath, the meal was brought in. I smiled gratefully at the young woman.Before I could take a bite, with a burger only halfway to my mouth, the phone rang.“Lila, are you done with work? How did things go with Prince Lucas today? Did he tell you the rules for the Moon Trial?”Margaret's concerned voice came through the receiver. I opened my mouth, ready to briefly tell them I had secured the Moon Trial rules, but then complex background noise drifted over

“What?!”Before Damian, Margaret was the first to let out an incredulous gasp. Her suspicious gaze circled Isabelle’s abdomen. Victor, meanwhile, instructed the two awkward guards to release Isabelle.“Call the Pack Doctor. See if she is telling the truth.”As the two guards were about to exit, Margaret added a supplementary order. She knitted her brows, looking at the disheveled Isabelle, who, the moment the guards released her, immediately burst into tears and clutched Damian’s thigh.Damian, the foolish son born of Margaret’s womb, remained stunned, staring at Isabelle. It took him a good while to process her words. He then pulled Isabelle up, and together they placed their hands on her stomach, embracing tightly.Margaret felt a massive headache coming on.They were moments away from driving this detestable Isabelle—who had shamed the Worth family and successfully manipulated Damian into discarding his promising future—out of Worth Manor, and even out of the pack. Now, if Isabelle
