Chapter 9

“You’re mate-” “The kings lips kind of twitched upwards in a half smile that didn’t meet his eyes. “Is beautiful Carret. A fine another flick of his eyes over Prudie who preened beside me. Her arm firmly through mine. “Regal Luna”
The hand she had in the crook of my arm fluttered to the diamonds that adorned her throat as she smiled her most sultry smile at him.
She thought he was giving her a compliment but I knew differently. There was no sincerity in his voice at all. He looked at her and he found her lacking which was strange because Prudie was everything a Luna should be.
“Thank you” She nodded her head politely, her hand still fluttering over throat like a dinle bird. She was trying to draw his attention downward to her breasts I realised with a scowl.
The woman who was carrying my unborn pup and was trying to become my Luna was trying in seduce our king.
That wasn’t what I meant when I said to make him feel comfortable.

cut a sigh of relief. He wasn’t interested in her at all..
“I think your Luna should leave now.” He said firmly with a nod of his head. “We have business to discuss “the kings voice trailed off as a collective gasp rose up from the crowd neatest the wide double door
Confused I narrowed my eyes and stared but it didn’t take a genius to know who had stepped through the
Skye.
She stood there, a

eyes were anything to go by but with her
er shoulders defiantly back.
The people nearest to her bowed their heads slightly, a show of respect that they had never showed before. It made me pause
By my side Prudie bristled. Her finger nails scraping down my arm. “I thought you told her to stay away” Her whining voice was loud.
“Your true Luna I presume.
Tearing my eyes away
way from my wife I side eyed the king. His face was impassive. Unreadable but he was
was angry.
Of course he was angry. I had mude him believe that Prudie was my Luna. I had lied to my king. And if the rumors were true that was something he wouldn’t forgive
Thad played my hand and it had backfired on me.
“Yes,” I said quietly. “But not the Luna I choose. She is simple minded. I’ll have the staff take her back upstairs.”
“She’s an idiot” Prudie hissed
“She doesn’t look simple to me
Following the Kings gaze I watched as my mate walked purposely towards us and the crowd around her parted like the sea. Every single pair of eyes were on her and more than one persons face showed shock.
And who could blame them?
I had never seen skye look so beautiful. With her braid piled up on top of her head in ringlets and the simple but beautiful silver white lace dress brushing her curves.
You were told to stay in your” Prudie began to say and I shot her a look. Now wasn’t the time for her outbursts,
-Your th

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Luna” Gently the king reached out and lifted her face to his. The smile on his face was gem
He approved.
“You as well your highness”

“My name.” Extending his hand the king captured hers and brought it his lips. Kissing the back of it. A wave of jealousy erupted in my chest.
I did not like the sight of him touching her. I might not like her, and I definitely didn’t love her like I loved Prudie but she was my mate. At least for
now.
I had to admit that they looked good together though.
“If I am allowed to call you Skye, then you should call me Soren.” He smiled down at her.
“I would like that very much thank you.” Again came a polite nod of her head. She was acting like a true Luna. The perfect mixture of demure and-
My eyes roved down the dress. It was oddly familiar but I couldn’t place it. I knew I hadn’t bought it for her. In fact I hadn’t purchased her any formal evening wear at all which meant that she’d had it before we had married.
“Would you like to dance Skye? Luna of the Two Moons pack?” Soren’s eyes darted to mine. “If that is ok with your mate of course.”
I wanted to say no. I wanted to tear her hand from his but I nodded. “Of course.”
There was
was nothing more to say. All I could do was watch as he lead her by the hand into the middle of the dance floor and twirled her into his arms.
A round of applause when up, deafening in its loudness
“Is she wearing an old dress.” Prudie huffed. “I mean who does that. She looks like a pauper and the way she is clinging to him. It’s not right Garret. You need to send her away. Far far away. She is making a fool of us in front of
Be quiet” I snarled. My eyes locked on my wife as she danced with the man who held all of our fates in his hand.
Skye didn’t look like she was making a fool of us. Quite the opposite in fact. The king looked smitten with her.
The overhead lights made her dress glitter as he spun her around and around. It made her look like an angel.
Chat dress
o wonder I knew it
had been the dress she had worn on our mati
our mating day.
