Semua Bab HOW TO CONQUER THE KING OF THE WEREWOLVES : Bab 11 - Bab 20

JUNEIt turns out it doesn’t take much to get these three witches to keep their waggling tongues behind their teeth.Now this was fun.“Oh, I’d love to tell you what trick I used, but I’m not here to bore you with one of my adventures,” I continued.Adeline was on her own now, her friends suddenly mute.“As for the reason I am here,” I went on, “you made me an offer last night; an offer of friendship. I’m here to accept it.” I beamed.Adeline looked as though she’d been struck by lightning, or maybe it was thunder.“You’re right, we got off a wrong note.” I smiled, spat lightly into my palm, and extended it toward her. If they wanted gutter behavior, I would gladly provide it. “Friends?”She stared at my hand in disgust and shoved her chair backward, her pups springing to attention.“Unlike this Warding that accepts just anyone,” Adeline began, circling me, “my friendship doesn’t work that way. I don’t allow just anyone into it.”Not just anyone? I am June Fallow. Still, it wasn’t as

ADELINEThe anger I felt refused to fade as I walked into my room, Mariel and Anna just behind me.I paced around the room quietly, neither of them saying anything. I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it. But that didn't do. I needed to vent my anger on something real… anything.I moved to pick up the vase in my room, intending to smash it, when Mariel's voice cut through my thoughts. "What are you going to say happened when your adviser comes asking?"Mariel was right. That was a mess I didn’t need right now.“The nerve of that bitch,” Anna chimed in as I tried to steady my breathing.“She even had the guts to threaten you,” Mariel added.“Shut up, both of you,” I snapped. “Enough.” Their eyes widened as they glanced at each other. “Weren’t you guys there when that lowlife mocked me?”"Well, we thought you got it, that’s why we didn't intervene…" Mariel replied.I stopped pacing, my hand raking through my hair, trying hard not to pull out each strand."I hate her so much," I admit

JUNEThe grand hall hosting Adeline’s birthday was massive and opulent, glittering in gold and crystal. I felt like a fish dropped into a tank of sharks as I stepped inside, brushing past elderly wolves I had never seen before, their attire screaming wealth and royalty.The room shimmered beneath cascading chandeliers, gold reflecting off polished surfaces while crystals caught the light in fractured spaces. The scent of expensive perfume lingered in the air, layered over the unmistakable trace of wolf pheromones that hummed beneath the surface like a silent warning.Thankfully, Fiona approved the off-shoulder champagne gown that swallowed my ivory heels whole. I was covered from collarbone to floor, yet beneath the weight of so many watchful eyes, I had never felt more exposed.At the long table sat the other thirty-four ladies. Every one of them looked beautiful, their sharp eyes missing nothing. Adeline was seated at the head like a queen, laughing and chattering with her friends a

JUNEFiona did not believe me after I told her what happened. "What took you back to the sections in the first place?" Her voice was soft, still clinging to disbelief."I told you I wanted to rest," I said, leading her to where the wolves had been lying unconscious."You will see for yourself in a minute," I added confidently, my pace quickened. Without turning to look at the wolves, my gaze settled on her doubting eyes. "See!" I pointed.She stared past me, her face holding the same expression until confusion slowly crept in."See what, June?" Her voice was sharp, edged with annoyance.I turned swiftly. Were the men too small for her to see? But then...My eyes widened as a throbbing pain seized my head. I moved around, searching the corners."T...they were..." I stammered, running toward the second section. They must have woken up and gone into hiding.Fiona shook her head, her face buried in her palm."I promise you... they were just here.""Then where are they?" Her voice was ster

KILLIANEarlier That Day“Do not forget what we discussed,” I said, adjusting the clasp of my disguise cloak.“Yes, Your Highness,” Jake, my personal guard replied, steadying the fabric across my shoulders.Leaving the palace unnoticed has never been difficult. Long before I wore the crown, I mastered the art of moving without drawing attention.‘A king who could not see his kingdom risks ruling blindly.’ That was what I always told myself to justify my decision to leave the palace.Jake always assists me with affairs like this, though he cannot keep some things to himself, especially when it comes to Blaise.At the party, he did exactly what I asked him to do, while I watched from a distance. The maiden was indeed as Jasmine had described her. I had a dress delivered to her as a birthday present, so identifying her was easy.Her blonde hair was perfectly styled, her beauty so striking it seemed the Moon Goddess had taken her time crafting her.After confirming my observations, I turn
