LOGINZack walked into the garden a few minutes later, carrying a small basket filled with more colored pencils."I thought you little artists might need these," he said with a smile as he placed the basket on one of the tables.The children's eyes lit up."Thank you, Beta Zack!""I want the blue one!""No, I saw it first!""There's enough for everyone," Zack said with a chuckle. "Don't fight over them."He looked at Selene, who was helping a little girl finish drawing a butterfly."I see they're keeping you busy.""They always do," Selene replied with a smile. "But I don't mind."Zack nodded before reaching for a sheet of paper. "Mind if I join you?""Not at all." Just as he was about to pull a chair closer, Kai calmly picked up the basket of pencils and placed it beside Selene."I think she'll need these," he said.Zack looked at the empty space that had just disappeared and couldn't help smiling to himself."I'll sit over there instead." He walked to another table where a group of older
The carriage rolled to a stop in front of the orphanage, and before the coachman could climb down to open the door, several children who had been playing in the courtyard spotted it from a distance."Luna Selene!" one of them shouted excitedly, dropping the ball in his hands. "Luna Selene is here!"His voice caught everyone's attention, and in the next second, the peaceful courtyard became lively as the children ran toward the entrance together. Some were barefoot, some were still holding the toys they had been playing with, and a few older children hurried after the younger ones to stop them from falling in their excitement.The carriage door opened, and Selene had barely stepped onto the ground before the children surrounded her."Luna Selene, you really came!" A little girl hugged her waist so tightly that Selene laughed and wrapped an arm around her shoulders."I told everyone you would come back," the little girl said proudly. "They didn't believe me."Selene smiled and gently pi
Kai smashed his lips on hers again, the kiss deep and demanding. Selene pushed against his chest, her hands pressing hard, trying to create space between them. She turned her face away, breathing fast. “Kai… stop,” she whispered, her voice shaky.But Kai didn’t stop. He followed her movement, capturing her lips once more. His hand slid to the back of her neck, holding her gently but firmly as he kissed her slower this time, deeper, his tongue tracing her lower lip. Selene’s body tensed, her legs kicking lightly against him. She tried to turn her head again, but his mouth stayed on hers, warm and persistent.The mate bond hummed between them, strong and insistent. Heat spread through Selene’s body despite her resistance. Kai’s free hand moved down her side, tracing the curve of her waist, then slipping under the hem of her nightgown. His fingers brushed against her bare skin, sending shivers up her spine.Selene gasped into the kiss. Her hands, which had been pushing him away, slowly
Kai stood frozen in the middle of the royal chamber, his back still against the wall where Selene’s power had thrown him. His eyes were wide, fixed on her with pure shock. The air around them still felt charged, like the room itself was holding its breath.“How did you do that?” he asked, his voice low and rough.Selene stood near the bed, her chest rising and falling fast. She crossed her arms over her body, her eyes narrowing. “What now? Are you going to tell everyone about it?”Kai pushed himself off the wall slowly. He took a small step forward, his hands raised slightly like he was approaching a wild animal. “I am not telling anyone. I just want to know.”Selene looked away, her fingers tightening on her arms. “I don’t know too. Everything is weird. I don’t know when I started having all those powers.”Kai watched her closely. He could see the confusion in her eyes, the way her shoulders tensed. He took another careful step closer. “We will figure it out. I promise not to tell an
Kai stormed down the corridor, his boots echoing loudly against the stone floor. His jaw was clenched tight, and his hands were still balled into fists from the moment he heard what happened in the library. The image of Elara trying to slap Selene kept flashing in his mind. He pushed open the door to Elara’s private room without knocking.Elara was sitting in front of her mirror, touching the red mark on her cheek with a cold cloth. She turned when she heard the door, her eyes lighting up with hope the moment she saw him.“Kai,” she said softly, standing up quickly. She rushed toward him, tears already forming in her eyes. “Thank the Goddess you came. I was so scared. Selene attacked me for no reason. She is becoming dangerous. You saw how she humiliated me—”Kai grabbed her arm firmly and pushed her back a step. His eyes were cold, darker than she had ever seen them.“Enough,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “I know what you did. You went to the library to attack her. You tried
The next morning, Luna Astra walked down the quiet corridor toward the royal chamber, her steps light but filled with worry. She carried a small basket of fresh fruits and a new soft blanket she had finished embroidering late last night. She wanted to see how Selene was doing after the terrible fall. The poor girl had been through too much already.She knocked softly on the door. No answer. She knocked again, then gently pushed the door open.The room was empty.The bed was neatly made, but Selene was nowhere to be seen. Astra’s heart skipped a beat. She stepped inside, looking around frantically. The balcony door was closed. The bathing chamber was empty. Panic rose in her chest.“Selene?” she called, her voice trembling. She rushed back into the hallway and grabbed the nearest guard. “Go find Alpha Kai immediately! Tell him Selene is missing!”The guard ran off. Astra stood in the corridor, her hands shaking as she clutched the basket tightly. She couldn’t lose another person she c
Kai went to the training ground for his usual practice. The sun was hot, but he didn’t care. He needed to release the crazy emotions burning inside him. When he arrived, Zack was already there, shooting arrows at the targets with perfect aim.Kai’s face hardened the moment he saw him. He picked up
THE NIGHTThe big hall was filled with lights and excitement. Lanterns hung from the high ceiling, casting a soft golden glow over everything. Long tables were covered with food and drinks, and music played softly in the background. All the young unmated wolves who were ready
The next afternoon, Selene carried a tray with freshly brewed tea and some light snacks through the palace garden. The sun was warm, and the flowers were blooming brightly. She walked carefully, not wanting to spill anything. Even though she was now the future Luna, she still felt more comfortable
Selene walked slowly through the palace gardens, the hem of her expensive new gown brushing against the grass. Everywhere she went, maids and servants bowed deeply the moment they saw her.“Good morning, Lady Selene.” “Your Highness.” “May the Moon Goddess bless you.”Each bow, each respectful
