TIME FLEW BY in blu for Helgs as she became busier with each passing day. Ever since she passed the test and was confirmed to be the future Luna of the royal park, every servand in the palace started bowing and treating her with more respect. Though they were already doing that before, it became more apparent to her that her life was beginning to open new chapter. A chapers that she knew would be filled with ups and downs. However, the felt confident that she could handle whatever challenges came her way in mention holding the title of Queen Luna to

As a a member of the dominant and formidable pack in the entire m the Alpha King Helga understood the immense responsibilitie and duties that came with her position. Her life may become even more complex than it was in Incarnadine but the had no regrets a fully. Besides, there was nothing safer than bring a part of the royal pack, expe sing this path and embracing it fat may come in the future.

"Does the Alpha king still have no intention of meeting with met Helps ented at Portia, who was assisting her with the preparations for the wedding it had been a week since her breakfast with Siegren and since that day. Helga hadn't seen the Alpha King once. She had requested meetings and tried to visit his study, but he was always unavailable. So naturally, Helga was a little disappointed with his absence, especially when she wanted to at least hear his thoughts on the decisions she was making

Tx not that he doesn't want to meet you, he just has important duties to fulfill at the border between our nation and the neighboring country." Portia explained as her eyes scanned through a catalog of dresses for Helga to wear at the banquet after the wedding ceremony. "My mate informed me that the Alpha King has entrusted you with preparing for the event your first task as the future Luna of the royal pack. This shows his trust in your abilities and decision-making" "Really Helga commented, glancing at the view from her bedchamber window. The gardens below were a masterpiece, wath bursts of vibrant colors and intricate landscaping that took her breath away. "I hope he comes back soon, I still want to hear his opinion and suggestion on the matter. After all, I am not the only one who is getting married" Portia's body froze for a moment, her eyes widening as she looked up to see Helga staring out of the window. She knew she was different from the previous candidates chosen for Luna, who were all terrified to even be in the same room as the Alpha King. But despite this knowledge, Helga never fails to surprise Portia a whenever she shows signs of commitment toward becoming the Alpha King's mate. A small smile tugged at the comers of Portia's lips, she was happy that Siegren had finally found an incredible woman who wasn't afraid of him, someone who wouldn't resort to drastic measures just to avo t to avoid being married off to him. "Why not wait for him? He might come back tonight." Portia suggested, prompting Helga to turn her head to look at her, considering her words "You were already considered the Alpha King's fiancée, despite the lack of an engagement ring. So, think it's acceptable to be more assertive in establishing your relationship with His Majesty." Helga's heart sank as she nodded, knowing that her marriage to Stegren was not the romantic union she had always dreamed of. Though she had lost hope in finding and meeting her fated mate, she had longed to at least marry her chosen mate and have a loving marriage with him. She guessed that no matter who she chose, being happily married was something she wouldn't deserve. Still, as a member of the royal pack, she recognized the significance of building a strong connection with Siegren. Their bond may not have been ueled by love, but it held great importance and responsibility.

No matter the circumstances, they would soon be united as husband and wife, and with that union comes the weighty duties and obligations of leading the royal pack and Verdenta. They must work together harmoniously in order to govern their people effectively and pave a promising future for their r country. "All right, I will do that. Do you think I can tend to him when he returns?" Helga asked, smiling slightly. She had learned from Lama Viola's strict lessons that it was the Luna's duty to take care of her Alpha, and that's what exactly she wanted to do even though she wasn't officially crowned yet. She thought that taking care of him would be a crucial moment in their relationship, a chance to deepen their connection and learn more about each other. "Usually the butler attends to his Majesty, but if you insist on taking care of him, the Alpha King may allow it," Partia replied with a welcoming smile. Helga nodded eagerly, hoping to build a better relationship with Siegren even though he didn't seem particularly fond of her. When the night came, Helga stood patently on her balcony, watching for any sign of the Alpha King's arrival. As soon as she Chapter 21 60%

Feeling uneasy about being underdressed, she grabbed a shawl from her wardrobe to cover her bare arms. her opulent bed chambers. But as

W-Welcome back, Your Majesty. I was just about to go to you, what brings you here? Is something the matter?" Helga's voice trembled as she struggled to articulate her words. She couldn't wrap her head around the fact that he had gone straight to her upon returning from the border. It was almost too much to believe, considering how he reminded her last week that he might not be able to treat her with kindness, or he might even push her away. Honestly, she had already braced herself for rejection and coldness, yet he came to her with warmth and tende mess in his eyes.

In an attempt to break the awkward tension that hung between them. Siegren finally spoke, "How are the wedding plans coming along?"

"Oh, 1-the wedding preparations are going well. That was the reason why I was waiting for your return." Helga's smile faltered as she struggled to maintain her composure.

"No, I'm not tired," he insisted, though he wasn't sure why he wanted to prolong the conversation. "You can wait for me in my study. I just need to change my clothes and then we can continue our discussion." "A-alright," Helga nodded, surprise written all over her face as she watched the Alpha King turn his back and walk away. She blinked twice, still processing what had just happened.

"Did something happen while he was away?" she muttered to herself while pinching her bottom lip. She felt like he was a different person. "He seemed gentler and kinder towards me. or did I misread things?"
