The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

VALERIA Are… are you sure, Esther? I ask with a broken voice.

My heart races, filled with happiness.

Very sure, Luna.

Youre pregnant.

Why havent I been able to smell it, or his father? I ask, worried.

Its very recent, perhaps thats why.

Give it a few more days and you should be able to sense the pheromones.

She replies, and I nod, my eyes blurred with tears.

I am the Luna of the Autumn Forest pack.

Three years ago, I married the man I love madly, despite not being destined mates, my Alpha Dorian.

Ive given everything to be the perfect Luna, the pillar he can lean on.

However, a shadow looms over my marriagethe topic of an heir.

Ive never been able to get pregnant, and I admit I dont share the bed with Dorian as often.

But I know his duties as Alpha keep him extremely busy and stressed.

Please, dont tell anyone in the pack.

I want to surprise my husband.

Dont worry, Luna, I wont say anything.

Congratulations! She smiles at me, and I return the smile, overflowing with excitement and happiness.

Despite being a foreigner, not originally belonging to this pack, ever since my parents died and the previous Alpha took me in, Ive never felt rejected or looked down upon.

Thats why Ive devoted myself fully to my duties as Luna.

Im grateful for my life and the wonderful man Im married to.

***** Whats with all this food? Is there going to be a party? Hands off! I swat away the greedy claws of Sophia, my best friend, who sneaked in through the back kitchen door.

But wow, puff pastry tart and everything! she says, sitting on a stool.

Honestly, I may have gone a bit overboard with the dishes, but Im so happy I want everything to be perfect.

All my Alphas favorite foods are ready! Well, today is Dorians and my anniversary.

I want to celebrate with an intimate dinner, I say, turning back to the caramel on the stove.

I dont hear her respond, so I turn halfway, curious.

Whats wrong? N-nothing, nothing… I just heard the Alpha had an emergency today.

Didnt he tell you? she asks, and I frown.

Actually, Dorian doesnt usually explain much about his work.

I guess its to avoid worrying me.

No, but hell come back anyway.

He knows today is special.

I respond, completely convinced.
