His Miracle Luna-the Forsaken Lycan Queen

Elena's POV

As soon as the word came out of my mouth, I instantly regretted it.

"Is there a problem?" Prince Deacon asked, completely confused, which wasn't surprising as he wasn't aware of my divorce from Bryson.

It's only natural for him to think that I'd be happy to see my so-called 'husband'. Unbeknownst to him, I feel nothing but discomfort and anger at the possibility of seeing my ex-husband with his general, whom he replaced me with as his wife and Luna of his pack.

Shaking my head, I stood up and gave him a forced smile while secretly feeling the scorching pain surging through my veins and into my heart. "No, I was just surprised, is all."

"If there's nothing more, then I'll..." I pointed outside. "I'll have my rest first." Bryson's coming here, for sure Glenda would be with him...

Those were my thoughts before I splashed my face with cold water from a basin to clean the dried blood around my face that Prince Deacon didn't completely wipe off.

Through the small mirror, I observed my face, which was once expressive and turned into a stone.

They made me like this. Their betrayal vanished all my care for them. Now, all I had for them was hatred.

"Hey, girl! How's your talk with Prince Deacon?" Saige asked as soon as she went inside my tent without notice. Maise and Saige walked in as if they owned the place and comfortably went to find a place to stay.

Saige leaned on the table, half sitting on it, while Maise recklessly went straight to my bed and slammed herself down.

"Why is your bed better than us?" she asked, voice laced with another meaning.

"You're overthinking it," was all I replied before I sat on one of the logs and faced them both.

"Bryson is coming here to aid," I told them, wiping my face dry.

"What?"

"That bastard is?"

They both became alert, voices filled with hatred and sharpness.

"I don't understand." Maise suddenly sat up from bed and stared at me with narrowed and judgeful eyes. "Why did you even marry him in the first place?"

My jaw hung open. We have been friends for so long, and I still couldn't get used to how blatant she was. Her mouth literally had no filter.

She waved her hand in the air. "I mean, come on! You're you!" She exaggeratedly pointed at me v er palms and gestured me from head to toe. "You are well- praised by our masters in Custodes, and everyone envies you for your exceptional skills."

"Yes..." Saige added. "So why did you settled for less?"

"Exactly! Why gave it all up for a useless asshole like Alpha Bryson?" Maige asked before her face immediately scrunched up in disgust. "Not that he's even worthy to be called an Alpha."

"Did you really love him?"

When Saige asked that, I wiped my emotions off my face. I stood up, dismayed, and shook my head as I placed the towel onto a hanger before leaning on one of the post logs.

While I did so, my mind travel to the past when my Bryson's name could still sent butterflies in my stomach and his eyes could still make me swoon over.

Giving a bitter smile, I shook my head and simply replied instead, "I did it for my mother. She had been

devastated after the loss of my father and brothers, and she didn't want me on the battlefield anymore, risking my life every day..."

I love my mother so much. Back then, she was the only one have left and was already on verge of death. I didn't want to see her leaving full of worry about my life.

"But why him?" Maise asked again as if Bryson was the worst person in the world.

I sighed before letting out a bitter laugh. Back then, I thought it wasn't the bad decision. He was so sweet and he made me smile. He made me feel like everything he said was the truth; that he could give me a happy marriage life.

Shrugging my shoulders, I replied, "He courted, and he was initially okay... I thought he could be a great husbandnoveldrama

After all, he vowed to my mother that he would only marry me and no one else."

My eyes shifted at each of them as I said in a low voice while almost hearing Bryson's words before. "He said he won't leave me... Not even for his fated mate..."

Huffing, I added, "But I guess it was all just bullshit from the start."

I was so foolish to think he would do as he said. After all, its his fated mate we were talking about.

"Oh, that asshole! Is he even a man?! Don't dwell or be said for a man like him!" "Yes, we got your back, whatever you want. Do you want us to teach him a lesson?"

Saige and Maise uttered, respectively. They were now both standing and looking at me, sadness flickering in their eyes before they went forward and engulfed me in their embrace.

I leaned my head on their shoulders and asked what's been occupying my mind for a while. "Do you think should I tell Prince Deacon the truth about me and Bryson?"

Since the warriors and Prince Deacon weren't always in the inner kingdom, they weren't current with the events.

Hearing that, they pulled away from me and glanced at each other before they thoughtfully stared at me and shook their heads. "Absolutely not."

"For real! Let them come clean on their own and face their own music. It's what they should do and not you." Saige nodded her head eagerly.

Maise, on the other hand, bumped her fist on her other palm and uttered, “Let's see how far their arrogance can take them!"

I couldn't help but smile at how supportive they were.

"Enough of this! We just won! We need to celebrate this!" Saige suddenly said before pulling out a bottle of whiskey from her back. It turned out it had been in between her belt all along.

We all laughed and cheered at the sight of it before we ran to the chairs and table.

We raised our hands and shouted as Saige opened the bottle and its delectable, pungent scent of alcoholic spirit filled our nose.

I grabbed the bottle to drink first, but just as its opening was about to reach my lips, a baritone voice sent butterflies to my stomach, halting my hands halfway in the air.

"I went here to tell you guys something, instead up catching someone sneaking a drink."
