kissed my face, and waking up to see Sebastian was undoubtedly the happiest moment of my day.
My Alpha was wild and untamed, and each time we had sex, he poured his full strength into it. If we weren’t careful or happened to leave the windows open, the whole castle might hear our cries of ecstasy.
“Why are you up so early? You could sleep a bit longer,” he said, pulling me into his embrace and tousling my hair.
“I had a wonderful time last night.”
Nestled in his arms, I reminisced about our wild abandon, feeling a mix of shyness and affection.
“Being intimate with you brings me immense joy. Melissa, you are my treasure.”
Sebastian’s feelings for me were always so sincere, which was the primary reason I fell for him so quickly.
“Is there any way we could have our wedding sooner? I can’t wait to start a family with you! Melissa, I’m so envious of Martell and Kala; we should have our own children soon.”
I nodded at his words, yearning for a complete and loving family of our own.
“That child will be blissfully happy, with loving parents and a gentle sister. Sebastian, I don’t know how to express my love for you. I want to be the only mother to your children, so they can run hand in hand across the hills. I truly wish to see that dream realized.”
Expressing my feelings to my beloved was never something to be ashamed of, so I leaned in to kiss him.
“Of course, my dear.”
When I finally dressed and made my way downstairs for lunch, I was surprised to find so many people at the dining table. Aside from our two seats, the table was already bustling with others.
Martell and Kala were unabashedly displaying their affection, with Martell even cutting his steak to feed it to Kala.
Phoebe sat quietly, eating her sandwich. Sebastian had enlisted her, using her ability to communicate with plants, to assist with clan management. It seemed that work had dulled her once–bright smile; her gaze appeared distant.
Basil looked terrible; the news of rising taxes had kept him awake all night.

Ethan Vrzogic watched Sebastian from across the table, his admiration completely unmasked, while a girl sitting beside him caught my attention.
This was the first time I had seen her, and I couldn’t discern her identity. However, with a woman’s intuition, I suspected her target was the charming Ethan.
I was surprised to see Debra here; she hadn’t returned to Haul yet, and today she event brought Shakti along.
Sebastian thoughtfully pulled out the chair for me. Seeing his considerate gesture, Shakti’s expression grew darker.
“Have you not asked Debra to leave yet?” I asked Sebastian through our mind link.
“Geraint asked me to let his mother stay a bit longer. He’s been completing his work. efficiently lately, so I agreed. As for Shakti, I didn’t expect her to follow Debra; please believe me, this has nothing to do with me,” Sebastian quickly clarified, concerned I might misunderstand.
“I suspect they want to get Vince back from the wasteland as soon as possible, especially since developing that area is quite challenging. But if that guy doesn’t change his attitude, I doubt he’ll find peace even if he returns to the North.”
As I contemplated their motives, Sebastian was more focused on whether I was hungry.
Noticing the dwindling number of female staff in the castle, I suggested, “Alpha, I think we could select some of the women here to work at the estate. I know they’re your spoils of war, but you could…”
Before I could finish my sentence, Sebastian interrupted me directly.
“As for the women of the North, you can make all the decisions yourself! You are my Luna, and I leave everything in your hands. Whatever you decide, as long as it’s reasonable, I won’t stop you. And I swear to the moon, I have not been involved with any of these. women. Please, you have to trust me.”
He squeezed my hand, looking earnestly at me, hoping I would trust his words.
“It’s still daytime,” I almost couldn’t hold back a laugh.
The rest of the meal was notably quiet, with the only sounds coming from Basil and Geraint as they reported on work matters.
Just as I thought our lunch was coming to an end, a woman suddenly approached our table. She greeted the girl next to Ethan before walking straight up to Sebastian.
It was evident that Sebastian didn’t seem to remember who she was, but the emotions in her eyes hinted at something interesting.
“It’s been a while, Alpha Sebastian,” she said, extending her hand in a friendly manner. He, however, had no intention of responding, shifting his seat a little closer to mine instead.

She looked me up and down before smiling and asking, “You’re a new face, I see–a new member of the harem. Looks like you’ve been captivated by our Pack Leader, haven’t you? Winnie Harold is my name. I used to be the Pack Leader’s favorite lover, and even now, my heart belongs solely to him.”
She continued to flirt with Sebastian, trying to capture his attention. Sebastian opened his mouth to say something, but I urged him to stay calm..
I then extended my hand to Winnie, sincerely introducing myself. “Hello, Winnie. This is the first time I’ve heard of you. I’m Melissa Helberg, Sebastian’s fiancée, and the future Luna of the North.”
As I spoke, her smile vanished completely.
In Sebastian’s eyes, I saw disbelief and distaste, and even before he could respond, her gaze was filled with sorrow.
“Impossible! Aren’t you a woman captured from another region?” she questioned, but it seemed more like a complaint directed at Sebastian.
“Am I not better than this woman?”
Sebastian struggled to recall who she was, yet it felt as if he was about to lean into me right in front of everyone.
“Pleasure to meet you, Miss Winnie.” I extended my hand adorned with an engagement ring, clearly provoking her further.
To my surprise, Geraint chose this moment to speak up. “Miss, I’m sorry, but it’s clear you’re interrupting our meal. If you have something to discuss, we can talk later.”
It was evident that this woman had come to stir trouble, and I quickly realized someone. was trying to create discord between us.
Winnie’s reaction was unusual; after hearing Geraint’s words, she bit her lip and promptly. left.
I didn’t voice my thoughts but quietly observed the reactions of both of them.
However, the idea that such antics could unsettle us seemed rather naive and foolish.
No one noticed my thoughts; everyone was still chuckling at the scene.
Shakti looked ready to faint from anger; one of me was already enough to irritate her, and now with Winnie’s sudden appearance, she felt utterly hopeless.
“Don’t take it to heart. It’s nice that we can all sit together for lunch,” I said, recalling the recent odd occurrences. I felt inclined to learn more about Geraint Agrigent.
