A Bound Wish

Malric’s POV The moment I ended the mindlink, I turned to Theodore.“Follow me.”He obeyed without question.I mindlinked the guards outside Sharina's tent, ordering them not to allow anyone in or out until I said otherwise.When I returned to where Scarlett’s body lay, most of my suspicion toward Sharina had already begun to shift, but not enough to dismiss her completely.“She's from a traitor's bloodline,” Robert said, pointing to a mark on Scarlett's upper thigh.I stepped closer and examined it.The symbol meant nothing to me.“What do you mean?”Robert removed his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.“This happened before you were born, My King.”Then he told me the story.Years ago, a mated couple had plotted treason against the throne. They were discovered before their plan could succeed. Rather than execute them immediately, my father had shown mercy and exiled them instead.Unfortunately, they took his mercy for weakness.Not long after, they attempted a coup.That wa

My Simple Wish

Sharina’s POVAn uneasy silence settled over the camp as everyone looked between the King and me.Even the wolves who had been celebrating moments ago had gone quiet.I stared into his steel-grey eyes, my thoughts racing as I weighed my options carefully.My chances of getting out of the mess Scarlett had left me in were very slim, so I focused on the one thing I had always wanted and had gone too far to lose.The title of Luna Queen.“The mating ceremony tomorrow must take place,” I finally said.For a heartbeat, nobody reacted.A wave of murmurs spread through the crowd, and I could almost guess what they were thinking.Why would she waste such a rare opportunity on something that was already guaranteed?Fools.They wouldn't understand.Being their queen was no longer guaranteed. Not with everything happening now.So I had to secure it properly.Once I became Queen, nobody could simply cast me aside. A Luna Queen carried authority of her own. Even a king could not erase that overnig

Sweetly Set in Motion

Sarah’s POVWhat I thought would be kept a secret until Malric and Sharina’s bonding was finally out.Emily’s pregnancy.Even though Malric hadn’t openly said it, I knew the bonding ceremony tomorrow was already at risk. And if he acted recklessly, it could end the same way King Darius’s situation had ended.I needed to act fast.I went looking for Sharina.“We have a problem.”Her attention snapped to me immediately.“What is it?”“I’m sure you don’t know yet… but Emily is pregnant.”I was sure the words landed heavier than expected because her expression changed instantly. Shock first, then disbelief.For a moment, she said nothing.“I’m sorry I had to tell you like this,” I added quickly. “That’s why I came to you.”She looked disoriented, obviously still trying to process what I had just said.“I heard you used your royal wish to secure the bonding ceremony tomorrow,” I continued. “That was smart of you.”I paused, choosing my next words more carefully now.“But that still doesn’t

A Ride with the Prince

Irene’s POV If there was a way to physically hug the goddess, I would have done it without hesitation for keeping Emily alive.I didn’t need to see the maid she meant. It had to be the same one I had tried to warn her about, the one Sharina had sent.Goddess. I wished there was a way to expose this evil woman. And she'd be crowned tomorrow as the queen.That thought made my stomach twist.Oh moon… please don’t let that happen. She's a horrible person, please.“Irene,” the lycan prince's voice cut through.“Yes, my prince,” I answered quickly.He approached me with steady steps, his gaze dropping to my leg.“I told you not to leave my tent until I returned.”My fingers tightened on my dress instinctively.“I… I didn’t. I waited… even slept off inside your tent when you didn't come back.”He didn’t respond right away.Instead, he just looked at me.That silence alone made me uncomfortable.“You did well with the records I gave you,” he finally said.I blinked.Huh?My brain actually p

Power in the Wrong Hands

Irene’s POV The moment my hands wrapped reflexively around the Lycan Prince, I froze.My heart thudded in my ears despite the rush of air as the horse ran.I expected him to nudge my hands away, but he didn’t. He must have known I needed to hold on or I would fall.His scent filled my nose, warming my body without permission. I leaned closer without meaning to, my heart still hammering wildly in my chest.He didn’t slow until we reached the castle. I expected him to head straight to the stables, but instead, he rode toward his wing.The horse came to a stop. I quickly untangled my hands from him, my awareness snapping back too late.“Thank you, my prince,” I said quickly, already preparing to dismount.“Wait,” he ordered.He came down first, but I didn’t want his help.I moved too quickly.The moment I tried to step down from the horse, my balance slipped. The horse shifted beneath me, startled, and I lost my footing completely.“Ah—!”I tumbled forward from the saddle.But strong ha

Trapped in Her Web Again

Irene’s POV “Good to see you, Irene,” Sharina said, inspecting her manicured nails as though she had come here for something far more pleasant than this.A smile tugged at her lips.“I’m sure you've convinced yourself you've slipped out of my grasp.”She laughed softly.“What a disappointing mistake.”Her eyes locked onto mine.“You haven't escaped me. Not even close.”I swallowed.“On your knees.” She ordered.I didn't dare argue. Even my mother was already on her knees, her entire body trembling.Sharina stepped forward, clearly enjoying my panic.“I was wondering how a maid suddenly became so important to the Lycan Prince.”Her gaze swept over me with open contempt.“Now I understand.”Her lip curled.“You've been warming the Prince's bed.”My mother's gasp echoed through the room.“Irene?!”“No, Mum,” I blurted out. “I didn't…”A sharp slap cracked across my cheek.My head snapped to the side.Pain burned through my skin.“How dare you imply I'm lying?” Sharina hissed.Then she t

The Priestess’s Warning

Emily’s POV Ever since we returned from the hunt, Malric had made sure I stayed in his suite. Even when I protested that this suite would soon belong to him and Sharina after their bonding tomorrow, he refused to yield.He said Sharina would have her own chambers as the queen, and that I would stay here under his care because of the child I carried.He said he needed to look after both of us.Still, I didn’t want it this way.Sharina would be queen.And I could not stay in her space.Because of that… I wouldn’t abandon my plan.I was leaving this castle.By midnight, the moon would be full. Malric and Sharina would complete their bonding at the Goddess Temple, in the presence of the Moon Goddess herself. By morning, their official mating ceremony would begin.My mind worked quickly, calculating every possible escape route between the moment he would leave for the temple and the moment he would return.That was my only window.But escaping the castle wasn’t simple. Not with security t

A Bad Idea

Lucien’s POVFor the past few hours, Irene had been in my suite.She sat across from me at the dining table, completely buried in the ledgers I had given her.Obviously, she had made an absolute mess of the last one. Still, I needed a reason to keep her here."When are you going to tell her how we feel?" Knox asked inside my head."Not yet," I replied. "That might scare her away. She needs to trust me first."Knox huffed."Or you're afraid she'll turn you down due to your bad reputation with she-wolves.”I scoffed. "And whose fault is that? I've spent years being dragged around by a Lycan incapable of looking away from a pretty face.”The irony was almost offensive.Of all the Lycans the Goddess could have bestowed me with, she had given me one with the self-control of a drunken playboy."Excuse me?" Knox sounded offended. "I had standards.""Yes, by chasing every noblewoman with a pretty face?""That is a gross exaggeration.""You once made me attend three banquets in one week becaus

Everything Goes Wrong

Lucien’s POV I didn’t wait for the aphrodisiac to take full effect before I grabbed her.She let out a startled cry, struggling beneath my grip, but I didn’t stop.With one swift motion, I hauled her over my shoulder and headed straight for the bedroom.She cried out again.I ignored it.She had started this.Now she would have to explain herself.“This is what you wanted, isn't it?” I said, dropping her onto the bed.My gaze never left hers.She shook her head violently, the color draining from her face.Damn it.I hated how badly I wanted to believe her.I wanted her to give me a reason. A good one.“Then tell me why,” I said, forcing my voice to remain steady.“I... I... my... I...” she stammered, her hands shaking as she braced herself against the bed.“Talk!” I barked, taking a step toward her.She flinched. Her eyes squeezed shut and she raised an arm over her face, instinctively shielding herself. As though she believed I was about to hit her.Damn it.My jaw tightened.The ap

The True Healer

Emily’s POVI didn't open the letter Irene had somehow slipped into my room until I was well outside the palace grounds.The moment I unfolded it and began to read, my jaw tightened at the first few paragraphs.“Bastards,” I gritted out as everything finally made sense.Sarah and Sharina had been working together. They had used Irene to distract Lucien since Malric was away from the palace. That was why it had been so easy for Sarah to use Lucien's name to fool certain guards. While those guards rushed around carrying out the Prince’s supposed orders, I had been quietly smuggled out of the palace amid the confusion Sarah created.My eyes dropped to Irene's letter again.Every line was filled with her guilt and regret. Sharina had blackmailed her again, and this time there had been no way out.I lowered the letter slowly, my throat tightening. I couldn't even bring myself to blame her.This was the palace.Not only power and authority rule everything inside there, feelings didn't matt
