Semua Bab MY MATE CHOSE MY SISTER, SO I BECAME THE LYCAN KING’S LUNA: Bab 1 - Bab 9

~MELODY~“Smile, Melody,” my stepsister said softly, her voice mocking. “Tonight is a happy occasion, and I have a big surprise for you.”Then her grip tightened painfully around my wrist. I looked up at her, silently taking note of the beautiful silver gown she had on, and the diamond jewelry. The smug smile on her face widened.What gift could she possibly have for me? Nothing good, I was sure of that.She walked past me and up the podium where Father was waiting, and then she hooked her arm around a man’s.For the first time, my gaze shifted to the man she was holding.My mate.For a moment, the world around me fell silent.The music and laughter of dozens of pack members gathered inside the hall faded into nothing.All I could hear was the sound of my own heartbeat crashing violently against my ribs.No.This had to be a mistake… a joke maybe.Because the man standing beside Aurora was mine. I had recognized him as my mate the second he walked into my life barely three months a

~MELODY~My head kept pounding, even as I slowly opened my eyes.For the first time, I noticed I wasn’t in my room.I froze instantly, heart pounding.The soft gray curtains danced lightly in the wind beside a glass window, as morning sunlight spilled across the unfamiliar luxurious suite.The bed I was on was too soft, too perfect.The air smelled faintly of cedar and rain.I looked down on my own body, only to notice I wasn’t wearing my last night’s dress.Panic slammed into me.I quickly sat up, but regretted it soon after as a wave of dizziness crashed into me.“What the hell—”But my voice came out hoarse.I looked down again, noting that I was wearing a clean oversized shirt.My legs were bare beneath the blanket.I couldn’t find my soaked gown from yesterday.My chest tightened so hard that I couldn’t breathe.Did something happen last night?Images from last night flashed through my mind.I still recalled the rain.The forbidden bar.Alcohol.The strong arms catching me in the

~MELODY~“Release her.”Those words cut through the courtyard like a blade, stopping everything in its track.The guards who were holding my arms immediately froze before letting me go. It was as if everyone suddenly remembered that they wanted to stay alive.My heart pounded violently.Slowly, I lifted my head.For the first time, our eyes met.The Lycan King.For a moment I almost forgot how to breathe, as his eyes bore into mine.He stood there, a few feet away dressed entirely in black. His broad shoulders carried an authority that seemed to bend the air around him.Then, his silver eyes swept across the room, in a cold and unreadable way… yet so terrifying.I had heard stories about him almost all my life.Everyone knew something terrifying about the king, yet they could only whisper about it behind close doors, or late into the night.It was no news that even rogue packs kneel before him, and Alphas tremble in their boots when he is near.Now he was standing here in front of me

MELODYThe maid's words stayed with me long after she left. The King’s claim? What was that even supposed to mean? I was a person, not some object someone could just put a claim on.I needed to get out of this room that was starting to feel too much like a cage.I walked to the door and tried the handle. It opened. The guards hadn't bothered to lock it after the maid had left. I stepped into the hallway, but didn't get far before two guards started walking toward me.I didn't think, I just ran in the opposite direction."I need to eat! You have to feed me!" I yelled, making it to the end of the hall before I hit a brick wall. I was breathing hard, my heart hammering against my ribs, waiting for them to shove or hit me.But they didn't. The two guards caught up to me, their movements professional.They grabbed my arms, but they were weirdly careful, like they were handling something that might shatter.They started dragging me back, and I kept fighting, trying to pull away even thoug

“Yes, why didn’t the Lycan king react to me if such a reaction could happen?” I asked myself why I was dragging my feet across the hall.“Could I really be the cure?” The elderly words from before sounded in my head. I can’t believe this is my life now. As I walked across the hall, werewolves gathered in two, some in three groups. I could swear that they are all talking about me.I’m the new shining thing for their amusement. Surprisingly, no one dares to come closer to me. As I was dragging myself farther and farther from the prying eyes of people to the room I stayed in previously, a voice made me pause a little.“Your majesty, why have you brought the girl?” A wolf asked. Hearing this question, I couldn’t rest from the temptation. I walked a bit closer and then I realized that I was standing right in front of the throne room. The Lycan king was seated on the throne and about nine to ten elderly wolves were standing in front of him. I suppose they are discussing about me.“And when
