His Miracle Luna-the Forsaken Lycan Queen novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101

Elena’s POV

Marriage… Marriage… Marriage…

I couldn’t count how many times I’ve heard about it in recent days. People were so bothered about my marriage that they were either trying to be a wingman or giving tinnecessary free advice.

Hence, when I returned to the Ironpaw Pack and lay my back in the comfort of my soft bed, no one could imagine the relief I felt as relaxation cursed through my entire body

But then again, being relaxed and having a peaceful moment that would last a minute seemed to be a luxury I couldn’t have. Just a few seconds later, Zara knocked on the door and informed me that Beta Jude was here to officially hand me a royal decree.

‘What can it possibly be about?‘

A royal decree? I was there earlier. Why didn’t they give it there?

It… I can’t possibly have something to do with what Queen Celine said, did it?

But I clarified it to her. I’m sure she talked it out with the King already…

Despite the confusion, I fixed my wrinkled clothes and messed–up hair as I rushed downstairs, where I found Jayden accommodating Jude.

Jude was having a small talk with Jayden. He stood upright with his hand on his back, holding what I could presume was the letter of decree.

“Jude, what do I owe the visit? I just came from the palace moments ago,” I greeted, cutting his conversation with Jayden short.

Giving me a slight bow, he greeted me before showing his hands and pulling out the purple sealed envelope with the royal stamp on it.

“May I?” he asked, gesturing to open the decree and present it to me.

I gave Jayden and Zara a knowing look, which they immediately understood. They hurriedly stood behind me in an upright and formal position to receive the King’s letter. Once we settled, I looked back at Jude and nodded my head.

He ripped the envelope open and folded open the letter, reading, “By the decree of the Lycan King – should Princess Elena not find a suitable mate within three months, His Majesty, King Desmond, will take her as his secondary Queen.”

As soon as his words reached my ears, I was flabbergasted. I was stoned in my place, and my mind instantly went to oblivion.

The disbelief I felt was so overwhelming that I thought I heard him wrong. After a long moment of silence, I blinked a couple of times and stutteringly asked, “…W–what?”

Jude remained composed and folded the letter to its original appearance before putting it back in the envelope.

He then glanced at his watch before extending his hand to hand me the letter. “By this time, the King’s orders have been announced throughout the kingdom.“.

If I had fallen into blankness earlier, right now, my mind whirled, and a storm was seemingly formed within me.

Chapter 101

Swallowing and trying to keep my breathing calm, 1 rocked my brain and forced every gear of it to work as I processed this shocking news.

However, the longer I processed it, the more confused I felt and the more questions formed in my head.

I just couldn’t understand what the fuse was all about.

If King Desmond really wished to marry me, there wouldn’t be a need for this ridiculous three–month ultimatum. He’s the King, for pete’s sake. He could simply declare it and be done with it. After all, no one in this kingdom had the power of any kind – may it be status or skills to challenge him, nor would anyone dare to do so.

So… Why are the three months for? What’s he playing at?

It’s not that I wasn’t grateful for the time I had to plan and make possible changes to it, but still…

Taking a deep breath, I looked up and met Jude’s eyes. Narrowing my eyes, I intently look at him for a couple of seconds to grab his attention and put pressure on him before asking firmly, “What’s all this? What does the King really want? This is not him.”
