I looked at my mate into the eyes and answered with a question, "Are you, perhaps, making fun of me?" He chuckled making it sound like bells in my ears and stretched his hand. I looked at his palm and held him before he helped me stand up."Sorry, I'm just tired right now." I said. I was honestly tired and clueless. I didn't know what to do than going with the flow. "It's okay." He replied and took me to bed. I couldn't imagine my first encounter, which was probably few hours ago, was with this same man. "Luna, is there something you wanna tell me?" He asked.I looked at his sharp eyes wondering if he saw anyone leaving since it wasn't much long until that man was gone and he arrived. Should I tell him? I wondered.He face held no expression at one point when I stayed quiet."Who came here?" He asked again, this time his voice was cold. I thanked any almighty blessing me that I was sitting on the bed or I'd have fallen down by now."N...no... no one..." I stuttered badly under his ga
I was laying quietly on my bed, my eyes fixed outside the window on the pretty snowfall. I couldn't help but think about my sister at all times.Where is she? Is she doing okay? The frame that I saw was not what she looked like. She looked older for an 18-year-old. It wasn't normal.That man from earlier seemed to have something against me. Did the owner of this body make any kind of deal with him? And he called me a traitor. What did I do Astrid or him? "Ugh." I threw my head back on the headboard and looked at the front where I saw a white curtain in front of a wall....Which was wierd.What does that curtain even hiding on a plain wall? Curiousity getting the best of me, made me stand from my place and made my way to the curtain and slowly tried to slide it when I heard a knock."Luna, may I come in?" A lady spoke from the other side. I close the curtain properly and turned towards her."Yes." I replied and the door was clicked open and a lady in a long ball gown and long apron up
In the chirping nightAstrid's POVMy eyes stayed on the ceiling as I laid on the bed in my room, but today the person I held in my embrace was holding me back while the soft snores that came from her assured me that she was sound asleep.I smiled pulling her closer and closed my eyes. I knew I couldn't sleep for long when I heard a knock on the door which snapped my eyes open. I gently pulled out of the entrance and tucked Yuna properly who snuggled with the pillows and I wore my long robe before opening the door."Sorry, My Lord, but your father has called upon a meeting." My Butler Bose said while bowing a little bit."Now?" I asked."Yes, My Lord." He answered in a low tone. I looked back at my sleeping mate and sighed. She had a smile which was alluring and calling me near her to snuggle into her embrace and kiss her lips and cuddle her until the time resumes but sadly, I had to leave.I looked at Bose and nodded."Let's go."I followed Butler Bose after closing the door behind
The next morningAstrid's POVToday could become an important day for the kingdom. We may or may not be able to hunt down the killer of the town who kidnapped Yuna's sisters four months ago when she, allegedly, came here to something regarding Yuna. Gabriella had talked to one of the old ladies who lived in a small house in the kingdom about meeting my father, Lauren Kessler when she mentioned the whereabouts of Yuna and even her reason for leaving the kingdom and me.But before she could even approach the Palace, she was abducted and the old lady was killed in her house. The granddaughter, being helpless, only said that she knew Gabriella knew about Yuna.Since then, our doubts have been stuck on the killer of the town we could not trace and hence we formed a secret committee for such discussions and we would meet once a month to hear about any progress regarding this case. The committee groups held a few of my trusted men and my father's brothers. Nobody knew that Yuna had been fo
The town hallAstrid's POVThe whole room seemed more silent than it already was after the head soldier's words."Are you listening to yourself, head soldier?" I glared at the shivering man standing in his place while his head was in the front, trying his best to stay still. I never wanted to scare any of my people but the words that he chose to say and the person he blamed was my brother and there was no way I could take that indifferently."Please forgive my, My Lord. But this is what my wife saw. She saw your brother, Lord Ulfred talking to the man in disguise when he walked out of the old lady's house early in the morning." He answered.As if on cue, my father entered the town hall with his gaurds surrounding him and he looked at me and slightly frowned before coming back to his straight face and sat beside me. He followed my eyes and looked at the head soldier who was sweating under my gaze but looked at the front."Head soldier, please be seated." Father said and the head soldie
An afternoon in the PalaceYuna's POVI walked around the huge luxurious room I was staying in since I was not allowed to go anywhere. I looked out the window and saw a garden in the front which had colourful flowers and the morning wet grass was glistening under the sun. I saw little squirrel running and following each other while making noises and shaking their tail along while the butterflies kept themselves busy flying around the flowers.It was a comfortable day and I had my breakfast just a few minutes after I took a warm shower. The weather was cold even though it was a bit sunny today and not snowing. I looked at the curtain again and thought about opening it once to see what is that hiding behind. Is there even something that's hidden? I made my way to the curtains again and slid it open in one go only to find me smiling in a huge photo frame.Astrid's hand wrapped around my arms and I held his wrists while he kissed my head from the side and my eyes were closed with a huge
Deep down in the DungeonYuna's POVWhen I woke up, it took me a lot of time to realise that it were not my closed eyes but the whole place was dark.I tried to make sense about my surroundings but I could only grasp that my hands were tied behind my back and legs were tied together as well.The sound of the door clicking open echoed in this empty room someone flashed a torch on my face and I turned my head with the sudden invasion to protect my eyes."She's awake. Inform this to the Alpha." The man in his deep voice commanded to someone else and I could hear the footsteps walking away."You messed up a big time, Luna. I respected you a lot and I regret standing by your side for three years." The man said and left. I could not see his face but from his voice I understood that he was sad and on the verge of crying.I did not understand any situation and I was shocked that the memories which were not mine flashed before my eyes just when someone stirred about this body's owner's past a
The Underserving HellYuna's POVHe laughed. He burst into fits of laughter and stood up from his place. It was a pleasant laugh or scary one but the one laced with hurt and sadness.He wanted to cry and scream, but he loved me too much to do any of it. And I knew that. Which made me more guilty and heartbroken. I do not deserve him.The Astrid I know and the Astrid before me had one thing in common — they loved me to the point that they would peel their skin off to prove their love, they would rather hurt themselves than hurt me.But this Astrid was angrier and possessive. He had a short temper and would not be able to control his anger like right now. He kept punching the wall until his knuckles started bleeding and he kept doing it while I helplessly cried."Please stop...p-please..." I begged and sobbed loudly and he suddenly stopped and looked at me."Stop crying." He ordered in a deep voice but was as if I could not control myself anymore. My brain was not listening to me and I
