Lillie

There was no winning with this man. I knew it from the second his sea blue eyes settled on mine. The second his eyes roamed over the tattoo on my neck again, and his brows furrowed in the most disdainful frown I had ever seen in my life, I knew what he was going to do. I also knew that no matter how much I had tried to convince myself in the past years that I hated him and his entire family, his actions in the next couple of minutes would tear my heart into pieces- thousands of shreds I would never be able to put back together again.

My wolf kicked inside of me again and I warned her sternly to behave herself. This was a life and death situation.

“You are the daughter of a banished one,” he said again, circling around me. My skin crawled as he walked around me in circles.

I swallowed a lump of saliva down my throat as I stood still.

“Yes, my lord,” I answered again.

The tension in the air was rising that I could feel it get to my throat. It may strangle me to death if I was not careful. Scratch that, I was already losing my mind.

“When did you return? I would love to know,” he asked.

His voice. I could not really decipher the tone. He didn't sound stern nor calm. It was just different. I had no idea what awaited me.

“A few years ago.”

“Why? Why did you return?” he asked me and I just looked on.

I had no idea on how to answer the question and I just blurted out anything that came out of my mouth.

“I have no idea. Maybe, because there is no place like home,” I answered in a sarcastic tone and everyone laughed out loud.

The King came to a halt in front of me. Took some steps back and ran his eyes through me.

Hatred. I had seen it that morning ag the garden, and I was seeing it again.

I could not help but wonder what I did to deserve this. I was just two years old when my father did what he did.

Was I meant to suffer for his crime? My brother and I had lived in hell. Suffered and tortured because of my father's crime.

Up till now, he still suffers from everything. His heart disease still persisted.

And, the royal family still had the guts to hate us. They still had the guts to look at us as though our lives didn’t matter.

The royal family was to be blamed for everything that has happened.

“I'm quite surprised that you had the guts to stand in front of me, knowing fully well that the blood of innocent ones are on you,” he finally spoke to me.

This time, I could feel the anger and hatred in his voice.

“My father made a mistake…”

He scoffed at the mention of the word “‘mistake”, but I ignored him.

“I do not know why I need to be punished for that twenty years later.”

He just stood and stared at me with a raised eyebrow.

“You do not see why? You are his seed, his blood runs through your veins.”

I almost hissed at him.

“So does your grandmother’s, but I do not see a tattoo on your neck for that.”

The hall fell into murmurs, and his eyes darkened. I saw him clench his fists into balls, forcing me to swallow hard.

“Most of us were not aware of what our fathers were doing. How would I? I was only two years old.” I tried to reason with him, for myself and for hundreds of banished ones on the street of DarkMoon.

“You liar!” he yelled in a thunderous tone and fear gripped everyone in there.

“Your father,” he started with his finger pointed at me. “Your father is responsible for the death, abuse and rape of thousands of women across the kingdom and you open your mouth to say this nonsense,” he raged.

“I-,” I tried to defend myself but I was cut off sharply by his swift words.

“What even amazes me is how you gathered the guts to stand in front of me to fight for my affection.”

His affection? His affection?! Oh no. He was definitely not given my Cv! I didn’t need his affection! I was here to help Logan, I was here to get money for my brother’s treatment. Nothing he did or didn’t do mattered to me!

My eyes were fixed on me as he poured out the anger inside of him.

My blood was boiling inside of me as I stood in front of him. This man knew nothing about me or my family but, yet he still judges me.

He knew nothing about my pain or struggles, yet he could call me names.

The silence in the hall was heart wrenching. What even scared me the most was the cold stare he gave to me. Was he going to kill me? Was he going to send his guards to throw me out or lock me up?

Before I could get the answers to my questions, what I heard next threw me off balance.

“I can't accept someone who is not better than a Rogue,” he said, breaking the silence and my breath became irregular.

“I, David Morris, the Alpha King of the Dark Moon pack, reject you as my mate!” he declared and everyone in the hall gasped in surprise.

There it was. The damn bombshell.

“What!”

“Mate?!”

“Really?”

Murmurs filled the air and the entire room became so noisy.

“Your family are murderers! Your life line doesn't deserve to exist. You’ll return to the streets and suffer as you should.” Alpha David asked, calling my family names.

“David!” Queen Sophia cried from where she stood. From cloudy eyes, I saw her walk briskly towards him.

“Now, now. Think properly about this. If you reject her and she walks away, you might never be able to…”

He shrugged his shoulders, easing himself off her hold.

“I’m willing to pay whatever price mother. But I would not have the daughter of a man that put you through so much pain underneath the same roof as me as anything besides a servant.”

A servant?

I was filled with so much shock and embarrassment. I could not help but break down into tears.

I tried to hold the hot tears back but to no avail. I was angry at him, angry at myself. Angry at the world. I wouldn't have been here if it didn't have anything to do with my brother.

I lost my stance and began to shake vehemently.

“Why are you standing there looking like that? I command you to accept my rejection now!” he fiercely orders.

“I, Lillie Rome, accept the rejection of Alpha David, the Alpha King of darkmoon pack.”

Immediately the last word fell off my lips. I pushed him and ran out of the palace with all my might.

I ran so hard into the dark woods. I prayed silently that the ground should open and swallow me.

I didn’t stop running, no matter how my feet hurt. I tossed my shoes into the dust and continued on my bare feet. The bruises were nothing compared to the burning in my heart.

Until I heard it.

I paused, panting heavily, as I turned around. The sounds became louder, more violent. Enid sniffed the air before her senses heightened.

“Danger.” She growled. “We’re in danger.”

I kicked my right foot against a tree bark. Just great!

“Be on alert.” I instructed her, and wiped my tears from my eyes. It was time to fight for my fucking life.

I heard growling from the dark ends of the woods. Before I knew it, six hefty black wolves appeared in front of me, rolling their tongues as they saw me.

In a flash, I shifted into my wolf and faced them. I growled loudly although my wolf was small compared to them.

They moved closer to me, pouncing me from different angles and I fought them off.

Five minutes into the fight, my body was filled with so many injuries.

I became tired and weak to fight back. I slumped straight to the floor with my eyes half closed.

I couldn't move. I guess they may just devour me and kill me since they can.

Watching dimly, I saw the six wolves moving towards where I was. They flashed their teeth as they came closer wanting to tear me apart.

They looked hungry and I was going to be their meal for the day.

I saw one of the wolves jump towards me but suddenly, four different wolves appeared from nowhere and dug their teeth into the skin of the six wolves, wanting to tear them apart.

I was losing it already. My head was banging seriously and the pain was becoming worse.

The fight became tough and I could hear the sounds of them fighting.

Suddenly, the six wolves jumped into the woods and disappeared after being overpowered.

“I, I…. Hel-,” I tried to speak as I shook on the floor where I was.

My eyes which were half closed suddenly went shut as I saw the four wolves approaching me .

  • Once Banished, Now A Luna    Dearest gentle reader,

    This has been an emotional roller coaster for me. This story began in January, and since then, a lot of things have happened. I’ve been sick, I’ve had countless visits to the hospital, gotten an operation, entered final year in medical school, a lot of things actually. And finally, after nine months, I get to say goodbye to the beautiful Morris family, and everyone involved in their story. It wasn’t easy, but you all stood by me. I hope you enjoyed this story as much I almost enjoyed writing it. And I hope to see you again in my next project coming in OCTOBER, and my debut billionaire romance novel. Thank you all. Xoxo, Bella Hemsworth.

  • Once Banished, Now A Luna    Epilogue

    SEVEN MONTHS LATER AUTHOR The sound of the door closing had everyone up on their feet. Daniel, Darwin, Lillie who had been fidgeting on her seat, Queen Sophia, even little Emilia. The doctor blinked twice, fairly surprised by how fast they had all stood. All the set of eyes that peered at her caused her to clear her throat. She couldn’t blame them for being anxious. Princess Darla had been in the labor room for over eight hours. “How’s everything? How’s she? How’s…?” Lillie moved to the front, and the doctor smiled at her. “Everything is fine, your highness. Princess Darla has just delivered two beautiful and handsome children.” Silence hung in the air for three brief seconds. Yes. The doctor had counted. “Does this mean…?” Lillie asked with wide eyes. “Yes.” The tall lady replied. “Twins.” “Oh my God!” Lillie screamed, tears in her eyes as she watched everyone else rush into the room. They were supposed to have gone in one by one, but even the doctor knew better than to tr

  • Once Banished, Now A Luna    Chapter 105

    Lillie’s POV *THREE WEEKS LATER* I stood outside Darla’s room, taking a deep breath before knocking softly. No response, but I knew she was in there. I could hear her crying from where I stood. Even her large twin doors had done nothing to mask the sound of her sorry. I turned mine into a ball in my throat and swallowed hard to push it down to my stomach. It couldn’t come out, not today. I reached for her door knob, opened the door and found her sitting on the edge of her bed, her face pale, her eyes swollen from crying. The black dress Darwin had gotten for her lay untouched in a rumpled mess beside her."Darla, you need to get ready," I said gently, stepping inside. "It’s time."She shook her head, her hands trembling as they gripped the sheets. "I can’t," she whispered. "If I get dressed… if I go downstairs… it means he’s really gone. That Logan is really gone, and I’ll never see him again. The love of my life, Lillie… the father of my child." Her voice cracked, her should

  • Once Banished, Now A Luna    Chapter 104

    David’s POV Blood. All over the room. Dripping from every wound in my body. I didn’t need to see my reflection in the mirror to know I had been beaten up real good. Yet, when I saw it, a bitter chuckle forced its way out of my throat. I had managed to kill them all even in my state. The fuckers must have known they wouldn’t be able to stand a chance, hence why they had to poison me. In those last minutes of my life, the faces of my brothers flashed in my mind as I sat on my bed. My brothers, my sisters, my darling mother who had seen so much loss in her time. I never thought I’d see them again. I thought that, by the time they reached the hospital, I’d be long gone. When the rogues came, I was sure it was over. They had knives, weapons—I barely had the strength to lift my arms, but something inside me, something primal, wouldn’t let me give up. Not yet. Not before seeing my family one last time. If they could get to me, that is. There was no guarantee they had been able to make it

  • Once Banished, Now A Luna    Chapter 103

    Darwin’s POV Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but there wasn’t a crown on my head. However, I knew I had stepped into David’s shoes the moment he was hospitalized. It suddenly made sense why he had been so stoic and protective of everyone. For the first time in a long time, I could feel what he felt. The weight of the world resting on my shoulders. My world, and that of Dark Moon at large. Even as I ripped Jace’s head from his neck, the reality of what had just happened sank deeper as I looked at him—the cousin who once laughed with us as children, now reduced to this: A lifeless head in my hands. Who would have thought I would be the one to end his life? Who would have thought that he’ll be the one to turn our lives around? To hurt my brothers, to betray the only family he could call his? His eyes, once filled with arrogance and ambition, were now vacant, staring up at the sky even in his death. But now, he would be unable to see any fucking thing. His life had ended.

  • Once Banished, Now A Luna    Chapter 102

    Darwin: The battle was far more brutal than expected. Dead bodies lay across the ground, a mix of our own people, rogues and rebel soldiers. Daniel and I were yet to turn as we were preserving our energy to fight our common enemy. A wolf lunged at me and I caught it by its collar and snapped its next in one move. It dropped to the ground, slowly shifting back to its human form as it took its last breath. Another one came and I sank my claws into it, twisting and tearing its guts out so it lay on the floor in a disgusting pile. I only one had one intention as I made my way towards the Palace. And that was to make sure Lillie and my family members were safe. After I'd confirmed that they were, I would return here and find Jace. The hall was empty. Void of anyone, so I knew they had all been carted away to safety to the Palace's secret basement. I heard a familar sob and hurried towards the corner leading to the underground building. Lillie was crouched beside Logan w
