Desiree's POV Macy walks beside me, still chatting lightly about the boutique, the dresses, and how the coronation party is going to be the biggest event of the season because the organizer is the Lycan king and shouldn't be taken for granted. Eliana had gone inside the estate even before we got in. She is probably still processing the humiliation Seraphina got today. The image of Eliana and Seraphina pleading to the man keeps replaying in my head. Really? Seraphina who would usually think too high of herself was now pleading. I hold the bag carefully in my hand with a sweet smile. It is the replacement gown the boutique insisted I take after the incident. It is even more beautiful than the First. It is a deep emerald silk with gold-thread embroidery skirt that promises elegance with every step I take. We barely make it into the main hall when a voice explodes through the space..“What did you say!” I halt to a stop as I hear the familiar voice for Elder Dickson, barking out lo

Desiree's POV “You wouldn't dare!” That is all it took to allow Seraphina tag along to the coronation party. Lucius went against the idea of cutting ties with Dickson, reminding him of how he helped their father in one way or the other. The irony of life is almost laughable because you cannot tell me that after everything that happened, the fight, the accusations, the humiliation with Seraphina, Elder Dickson's rage…she is still coming with us. All in the name of ‘politics, influence and power.’Gillian may be Alpha, but even he cannot completely ignore the elders when alliances are involved. Especially when he has never done a coronation for being the Alpha. He is just still replacing his father's seat for the main time, being the Eldest. Seraphina's father pulls enough strings to make sure his daughter stands exactly where she wants to stand…which is beside Gillian. And so, she is released early in the morning and by nightfall, she is dressed and ready to attend the coronatio

Desiree's POV “Pregnant?” I utter out the word like I don't hear what she just says because she has got to be kidding me. The word ‘pregnant’ hangs in the air between me and Luna Lyra like it's something soft and harmless. Like it's just a normal thing to do even between mates that don't feel a thing about them, only resentment. To me, pregnancy right now with a man named Gillian is only dangerous for me right now. Lyra smiles warmly, one of her hands resting unconsciously over her stomach, a gesture so natural, so tender, that I finally noticed the curve under her burgundy gown. “I'm three months,” she said quietly, almost glowing with a beautiful proud smile. “the moment we announced it, everything shifted. The elders, the alliances…it secured things in a way nothing else can and of course, it brings out that joy in your household. Trust me, Alpha Gillian will even love you more. “Love me more? The word makes something cold inside of me curl in my stomach. I beg your pardon,

Desiree's POV I start to listen to the sounds of kissing and moaning. The curtain feels heavier than it should and my fingers slip behind it with my pulse drumming hard enough to it echo in my headAs I peep, the terrace corridor behind us dimly lit with golden light spilling from the ballroom behind me. Lucius and the woman he followed disappear around the corner again and I move after them. Is he trying to have his way with her or what?I remove my heels to make things easier for me because this place is very very quiet and any movement can be heard. Laughter is already drifting through the air in a flirtatious manner. Then a masculine voice joins. Ah?It is not Lucius, it is someone else. Are they trying to make the innocent lady beg for her life?I stop just before the turn in the corridor and press myself lightly against the wall with the stone so cool against my back. My breathing slows instinctively. I lean just enough to catch their voices.“…thought you said it was com

Gillian's POV The chandeliers above us spread through the ballroom with glass clinking on each other. The coronation of Alpha Rhydian Valemont of the Valemont Dominion was meant to display strength and rekindle past friendship. But I barely see any of it and Rhydian notices. Rhydian and I became best of friends when we both were up against a group of scorns during training times. When I was 18 and he was 19. Ever since then, we have been friends but due to circumstances, we couldn't communicate for some time. I am surprised that he sent an invitation card to his coronation. “I have never seen you so serious on a woman, Gillian. Even rumors carried to sometime ago that you are into men, but look at you, your eyes not leaving where she stays.” Rhydian teases, sipping through his glass of whiskey as he winks. Rhydian might be the cold hearted Alpha that everyone feared, but when he is with me, I can see his goofy side while I am grateful. He is the one who sometimes brings out my g

Desiree’s POV My head feels like it has been split open with an axe. It is throbbing so hard that makes even the faintest whisper feel like thunder in my ears. I groan before I even open my eyes, dragging the duvet higher over my face as if darkness can somehow muffle the ache. I didn't want to wake up. I want to be on that bed, sleeping till the ache dull off but as I adjust myself to the side of the bed, I hear voices. But it is beyond my bedroom door. I blink against the morning light flickering through the curtain. I am in my room. How did I get here? How am I home?Then the realization hits harder on me than the headache. The scenes that had happened at the coronation party. The coronation, the wine, the whiskey and Gillian face when I shouted at him. Oh God.I press my palm to my forehead and squeeze my eyes shut as memory keeps rolling inside my head. The bar scenes. His hand gripping on my twist with my voice being raised as I earn stares and whispers from the people.

Desiree’s POV For weeks, after the incident,I have done every possible thing to avoid meeting with Gillian. I stay in my room most of the time and Macy sometimes helps me to get a maid to give me some food because she doesn't trust Eliana to do it. I can say, Macy has become a part of my life here. She's the only one who isn't quick to judge my character at all and who prefers to listen to me rather than other people's rumors. I think she's the best sister and comforter I can ever ask for and I will forever be grateful. Today, Macy decides that I cannot hide in here forever and I should join her in dinner table because no one is around yet, but now, staring at the long mahogany dining table with plates arranged and a scent of black coffee and toasted bread lingering in the air,I can't help but wonder if this is a good idea. Everything looks normal, but nothing feels normal when I am sitting across Gillian with my hands folded neatly on my lap. I try to avoid his gaze, keeping m

Desiree POV The kiss lingers long after he leaves. It is still on my lips under my skin. I sit there for several minutes after the door shuts, staring at the empty space where he stood, trying to steady my breathing. My fingers brush over my mouth unconsciously, tracing the warmth he left behind.I cannot believe I just succumbed to a man I swore never to have anything to do with what is wrong with me!I try to beat myself to it but my wolf whispers with a squeal inside of me. She has always wanted this anyway. She believes Gillian is a good man because he isn't as cunning as Lucius. Good man, my foot. ‘I do not like that you didn't fight back the kiss.’ I throw at my wolf only to hear a giggle. Goodness sake. I told myself I would withdraw. That I would build walls. That I would never again let him see how deeply he affects me.And yet the moment he touched me, I unraveled.A soft groan escapes me as I push off the bed and stand. I need air. Space. Distance from this room that

Lucius's POV I find her in the east corridor. Well, I am talking about Desiree. I haven't seen her much since the incident. The girl is isolating herself from the gnawing embarrassment. The sunlight is flickering through the windows as I drift lazily to her side. The manor feels quieter these days, perhaps because there is no much trouble lurking around. Maybe there is, and Gillian just let peace reign instead. She walks alone.That, in itself, is new because Desiree will either walk with Macy, avoiding gazes these past few days. What changed?Has she seen Gillian? I bet Gillian will be beating his ass off and despising the brat he decided to abhor because of his selfish reasons. I lean casually against one of the pillars with my hands tucked loosely into my pockets, waiting until she’s close enough to notice me without being able to avoid me.“Careful,” I drawl, a crooked smile pulling at my lips. “You’re walking like a ghost haunting its own funeral.” I tease but she doesn't

Gillian's POV I close the door behind me as I get into my chamber, the sound making a soft click. I ruffle my hair, silence consuming me as I simply stand there, staring at nothing. My pulse is still hammering in my chest. Her lips. I kissed her fucking succulent lips!This is the first time I will be doing that and I feel like the luckiest man in the world. Would I talk about the way she pulled me closer, forgetting how.to.pretend that she didn't want me near her. Or is it the way she moans into my mouth? A low growl rises in my chest before I can stop it . ‘Control yourself.’ I warn but my wolf does not agree. “You pulled away! Why?” He growls inside my head whimpering in disbelief. Whenever it comes to Desiree, my wolf is always growling to take over. Because to him, I am always acting like a crack nutthead and doing otherwise. “How dare you!” I roll my eyes. ‘Would you at least give me some breathing space?’ I say in my head, however he disagrees. I do not know if he so
