All Chapters of Arranged Marriage To The Comatose Alpha King : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ROWAN’S POVI woke up the next day with a brilliant idea that had been on my mind for a while.With everything that has been happening lately, especially the incidents targeted at my mate, Clara, and the threats to her position as Luna of this pack, I realized it was time to make her title official.Some members of the pack already see her as their Luna, but it has all been unofficial. There has been no proper coronation ceremony, and that needs to change immediately. She must be recognized publicly, not just here, but across all territories, as my Luna.I want every ruler, especially Alpha Edwin, her father, to know and respect that Clara is the Luna of the Sterling Pack. My mate.So I got ready quickly and summoned the pack’s scribe. I had him prepare a royal announcement and sent it out to the four territories under my rule.The message was simple and direct. There would be a coronation ceremony tomorrow, where I would officially present the Luna of the pack.There was no time to

CLARA’S POVI was completely overwhelmed by the new surge of power flowing through me. It felt like I was floating on something so high, like I could never come down.I was scared to give any more commands because of how I felt, and I did not want to make a mistake that would make me look foolish. It was already bad enough that someone had just tried to ruin my coronation ceremony.Speaking of Mira, I glanced in her direction. There was a deep scowl on her face. She must have been furious that her interruption did not go the way she had planned. I was glad her plans didn't succeed, which gave me a sense of satisfaction.Damien stood not too far from her. His eyes met mine, and for a brief moment, I waited… to feel something. Anything.But there was nothing.No longing. No pain. No attachment.I had expected something to stir within me. After all, he was my first mate. I thought maybe seeing him again would shake me, even just a little. The way he stood there, that unreadable look on

CLARA'S POVPeople were beginning to talk that I was an imposter, that my rise to the position of Luna was unnatural, and they suspected foul play. That Queen Astra and Rowan were hiding something, and I was not fit to be the Luna of the pack.Of course, I ignored the rumours. I cannot let words that are not true get to me or affect me. I just focused on doing my duties as Luna, which was sitting around, instructing the maids, taking a walk around the pack house, and waiting eagerly for Rowan, only to be paid little or no heed by him.It was exhausting, knowing I have more potential than being an ornamental Luna, a ceremonial ruler, and I could be more useful. But due to one simple mistake of mine, I have to bear the consequences by being disregarded and brutally underestimated.I was tired of being treated like this, and no sooner than I saw Rowan, I would talk to him and tell him about my dissatisfaction. I did not care if he decided to be stubborn about it. I would make sure I was

CLARA’S POVThree weeks, that was how long it had been since my coronation and one week, one whole week since Rowan started acting like I didn’t exist.Not completely, though, he still spoke to me when necessary, still asked if I had eaten, still made sure guards and maids followed me around like I was some fragile thing that could break at any moment, but that was it.No more late night conversations, no more lingering touches, no more him like he usually was before.It was like he had built a wall overnight, and I didn’t even know what I did to deserve it.I sat by the window in our room, my fingers tracing the edge of the curtain absentmindedly. The sky outside was dull, matching exactly how I felt inside.Empty and confused.Oh and also angry, mostly angry. Because if I did something wrong, then he should say it, not this silence.The door creaked open behind me.I didn’t turn immediately, I already knew it was him.“You’re here,” I said quietly.A pause, then, “I came to talk.”I

DAMIEN'S POVAfter our miraculous escape from the cells of Sterling pack, I began to have my doubts. I couldn’t sleep. Not that I had tried, but sleep wasn’t even an option anymore.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Clara.But the way Mira spoke to me about her, she could not possibly be lying against Clara, because the way she looked at me like everything she said was the truth, like I was the one who was wrong, keeps me in doubt.I dragged a hand down my face, letting out a slow breath as I stared at the wall of my room, nothing made sense anymore.Nothing.For years, I had believed Mira was my mate, and I didn’t question it, and I didn’t even doubt or think twice if our bond was real or not, because the mate bond was there. I could feel it, it was real.My jaw tightened recalling the night in the cell with Mira's words saying Clara was a witch. I scoffed under my breath, shaking my head because it sounded ridiculous. But still, why did a part of me hesitate when Mira made ment
