~ Elara ~*The Rosewood Tea House, Ironwood*“I cannot believe Lady Elara invited us for tea.”“She rarely speaks to us.”“That’s because she was always busy with court affairs.”“Yes. She became involved in politics far too young.”“We, however, have been blessed to live our lives as proper young noblewomen.”Five ladies gathered around a round table near the windows, their teacups and pastries arranged neatly before them. They chatted among themselves as they waited for Elara.Meanwhile, Elara and Cedric sat behind a carved wooden divider near the ladies’ table, close enough to hear their conversation without being seen.“Is this your idea of a good plan?” Cedric frowned. He was already dressed in his commander’s uniform and about to report for patrol when Elara casually mentioned that she had begun putting her plans into motion. He had accompanied her, curious to see what brilliant idea she had come up with.Elara turned to her brother and smiled. “Trust me, Brother. These ladies ar

~ Elara ~*House of Ashbourne*“Elara, please, do not misunderstand,” Cassian explained. “I do not know how the rumors grew far from the truth, but those who started them shall answer to the Crown.”“They did not begin as rumors, Your Highness,” Elara said, trying to control her emotions. “The noble ladies witnessed Lady Mira confess her love to you.”She glanced at Mira before returning her gaze to Cassian.“I heard everything you said to her. You did not reject her. In fact, you became enraged at the thought of her finding another man.”Elara's voice trembled, but she forced herself to continue. “Then I watched you carry her from the courtyard and take her to your chambers.”Her eyes hardened. “Cassian, even I have never spent a night in your chambers.”Tension filled the receiving area of the House of Ashbourne. Rose stood nearby, watching quietly. Thankfully, Cedric had arrived in time to witness the confrontation as well.Cedric had not yet intervened, but Elara could feel his ang

~ Luna Queen Elowen ~*The Royal Mooncrest Chapel*“Moon Goddess, give me a sign.”A day after that heated argument with Elara and Cassian, Elowen knelt before the statue of the Moon Goddess. Though the Goddess had punished their realm, they still held on to hope that one day, she would awaken and remember them.Elowen needed guidance. She had an inkling of what was going on between her son and Mira, but she couldn’t bring herself to let go of Elara.Not only was Elara the best candidate to be Cassian’s Luna, but she was the lady of the House of Ashbourne.Before Elara’s father, Gareth Ashbourne, became the kingdom’s Supreme Commander, he ruled the Ironwood Pack as its Alpha. As the largest territory in Asteria, Ironwood commanded the kingdom’s greatest number of skilled warriors, all fiercely loyal to the Ashbourne family. Truth be told, without Cedric and Elara’s support, Cassian would have struggled to lead Ironwood.Therefore, if Cassian failed to marry Elara, he risked losing Hous

~ Elara ~*Gilded Chalice*Whatever outcome arose in Ironwood, Cedric would take care of it.Now, Elara had only one goal: to shape public opinion until the nobles themselves began to favor her union with Kael.The Gilded Chalice was Mooncrest’s finest drinking house, frequented by nobles and Alphas who preferred good wine and private company. Its private rooms made it a favored place for discreet meetings.Kael regularly met there with Alpha Magnus Wren, the Alpha of the Blackmoor territory.“My Lady, are we sure about this?” Rose asked. She and two of Cedric’s warriors had traveled with Elara to Mooncrest for that evening’s agenda.“I’ve never been so sure in my life,” she said to her maid.Rose and Elara stepped inside the Gilded Chalice, and the scent of liquor immediately filled her senses. Wine and strong spirits mingled in the warm air, along with the distinct scents of werewolves from territories across Asteria.A servant immediately spotted Elara and approached her. “My Lady,

~ Elara ~*Mooncrest Castle*“Elara, I can assure you, this misunderstanding will not happen again,” Queen Elowen said. Because of what had happened to Cassian and Mira, Elara had been summoned to the castle two days later. Before the king and queen, Mira was given her punishment. To Elara, it hardly looked like punishment at all.Mira was to be confined to the Grand Temple, where the High Priestess dwelled.“Lady Mira will not be allowed to leave the Grand Temple, and my royal guards will personally see to it.” This time, it was the king who spoke. “Even Cassian will not be allowed to enter.”Elara felt nothing.She glanced at Cassian who said, “I swear to you, Elara. It was only a misunderstanding…”He continued to explain, but Elara barely listened. Of course, Elara knew exactly what had happened. She had planned every part of it. Now, she could only hope the king’s investigation led nowhere and that everyone involved remained loyal to the House of Ashbourne.While Cassian was ta
