Please don't read. Major editing in progress. The chapters after 150 are repetitive as I am making major changes to story line. ........................ It is the year of the moon, the year when all the alphas around the world gather at Aranill to compete for the throne of the Alpha King. It is said that one who takes over the throne can change his destiny and even seek the power of the moon which nobody else can even gain access to. Azimir Bhaltiar, the young Alpha of kingdom Ideni, is one among the many alphas competing for the throne. It is then that he meets Aylin Ediar, the only female general in the royal army and Azimir finds himself attracted to her. But in his pursuit of the throne as well as Aylin, Azimir gets pulled into a conspiracy so brutal that completely shatters all other truths. Azimir not only has to save himself from the conspiracy, he even has to save his loved ones from losing their lives. And the only person who supports and trusts him is Aylin. Now, what is the forbidden truth about the throne that links to the conspiracy, and who is behind it? And why does Aylin refuse to accept her feelings for him? One truth, countless lies, one secret, and a throne that can change destiny. The one who solves it gains the power of the moon. Join Azimir to find out his destiny in his pursuit of the throne as well as what his heart desires the most, Aylin. --------------------------------------------------------------- "Aylin," Azimir breathed as he caressed the girl's cheek before pulling her to him. "Why do you deny your feelings, dear?" "Because I do not have any feelings for you." "Are you sure, dear?" Aylin stayed silent, not knowing how to respond to him. "Why does your heart say otherwise? I can hear it, you can hear it. Why are you ignoring what your heart is whispering to you?" Azimir probed and pulled her close until his breath fell on her lips. "Even if you ignore your feelings, I will not allow you to. You are mine as I am yours and it will be this way forever." The cover picture does not belong to me.
"Commander Aylin, what is your opinion about marriage?"
Silence filled the hall again and this time, it was more deafening than how it had been the previous time. All pairs of eyes were fixed on her and Aylin gave them a blank look, not knowing why Azimir was asking her this question out of the blue.
'Does he want to marry me?' She wondered and shook the thought out of her mind the next instant. 'It cannot be. We have only known for a few days and the feelings we have for each other is yet to turn to love. He could not be thinking of marriage this quickly. What is his motive in asking me such a question in front of an audience?'
Aylin scowled, not liking the inquisitive gazes on her and she threw a cold look at Azimir, who only tilted his head innocently while his teasing smile and amusement-filled eyes said otherwise. She had the sudden urge to kill him for putting her in a spot and diverting everyone's attention on her.
