LYRA’S POV

I slowly opened my eyes, pulling myself out of the darkness as I carefully got used to the light around me. I groaned, dragging myself up from the bed. The last thing I heard was the cheer of the pack members and Jake’s remarks before collapsing. But, something else struck my ears as I struggled to gain full consciousness.

“Who is pregnant?” I asked, shifting my gaze between Selene and Jake.

“Finally, you’re awake!” They both chorused, shifting close to the bedside.

“No one is pregnant or do you want to be pregnant?” Selene teased, adjusting the infusion lines inserted in my hand.

I winced at her, my brows furrowing, trying to be sure they weren’t referring to me. As much as I just gained consciousness, I knew I heard something though it wasn’t clear.

“How are you feeling? Do you feel any pain? You scared us all. I bet I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if anything had happened to you,” Jake said. I had never seen him this worried. His tone was etched with deep concerns and it

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 114

    JAKE’S POV"She's gone?" The news struck me like a sting from a fire ant. No! The maid must be out of her mind or something. I just left my mother an hour ago before coming down here. She was down, yeah! But not...not death. I scraped my seat backwards, scrambling up with my eyes popping out of their sockets in disbelief.“Damon, take Caspian back to his cell,” I said through clenched teeth, my eyes meeting Lyra as she stood breathless, racing off ahead of me. “How about...” Damon tried to speak, but I wasn't willing to listen to anything right now.“Now,” I barked at himHe nodded sharply, grabbing Caspian by the arm. Lyra was already ahead of me. I ran as fast as my legs could sprint, brushing off and pushing aside anybody who stood in my way."No..no...no, this better not be true," I whispered under my heavy breath, my heart drumming like a war drum into my ears.The door to her room was already open, and I barged into it, not pausing to knock like before. I was brought to a halt

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 113

    LYRA’S POV"Help! Help!" I heard the sound of what seemed like distant echoes, distant cries coming from somewhere, far away. It sounded muffled or perhaps hollow, like they were coming through a tunnel. Maybe it was the distant cries of galagos, also known as bush babies. They were common in this area. But it came again, this time clearer, like it was right beside me. I sprang up from the shade I lay under, my senses spiking.Tara surged within me, restless as she sniffed the air, the soil. “Something's wrong,” she whispered. “Use my senses!”I shut my eyes, linking with her. I began to hear the faintest gush of the wind, the distant rustle of dry leaves, melodies, chants of birds building their nest, and every little movement here in the wild. Then I caught the scent- they were real people. I followed it until I found them.Down in a deep, dark pit—at least a dozen of them. Pale faces. Bloodied clothes. Children clinging to their mothers. One of them looked up and screamed, “Please

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 112

    LYRA'S POVMy fist hurts as I pounded violently against Jake's chest. "Open that damn cage, Jake! Let him out!" I yelled, my voice came out rough with rage. Each word hitched with sharp breaths, my nails clawing at his shirt like they could peel reason into his heart. "You had no right! You can't just lock him up like an animal!" I kept thrashing and telling.Jake stood still, wincing from each hit I threw at him. Not a step backward. One would think he was planted at the spot. He clenched his jaw so tight that the muscles of his head twitched. His chest was rising and falling, but not in rhythm with mine. No words from him. Just utter silence that infuriated me even more."Say something! Do something! Don't you dare keep quiet on me, staring at me like I was some barking dog!" I yelled right in his face. So much, I bet he would have samples of my saliva in his eye.Then, with a suddenness that snapped me back, his hand clamped around my arm. Not harshly, but firm to keep me still. "E

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 111

    LYRA’S POV“Traitor! May the gods forbid! You deserve to die! Witch!” The clamor of the people echoed in my ear as the Chariot rolled slowly behind the scene unfolding before me.I sat on the open-roof royal chariot with Jake by my side, our fingers interlocked with each other on his thigh watching the crowd boo and throw garbage at Ella who was dragged along the road by mean guards.Partaking in the procession was Selene, who was dressed in her traditional long black robe. Her wavy silver hair cascaded down her shoulders. In her hands was the cup of shame from which Ella must drink from and forever be damned till death calls. Amidst the booing were chants of acknowledgements and praise from the people. “All Hail, Luna Lyra, The first of her name, The queen of shadowclaw!” The voices rose so loud that one would think it was my coronation day. My cheeks were as pink as those of a Barbie doll when a little girl broke through from the crowd, screaming my name and reaching towards me wi

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 110

    LYRA’S POVThe mention of the name Caspian hit me like a punch in my stomach. Caspian? What would Jake likely be having with Jake? I saw the look on his face when he mentioned Caspian’s name early. It was clearly streaked with Jealousy. On second thought, what could the truth be? Are they brothers? Hell no! Because that would be totally ridiculous.I shot Jake a side-eye long look. “What could that be?” my brow rose as I queried.I felt unease beginning to creep up under my skin as Jake hesitated in giving me a response. His face fell to the ground without a word for what felt like a century. “Come on Jake! You don’t have to kill me with suspense before you let the cat out of the bag,” I nudged his shoulder slightly, with a soft smile slowly appearing on my face.Jake finally looked up, meeting my face with an unreadable expression. “I can see you’re in love with this guy. I can hear the excitement in your tone at the mention of his name, but you don’t have to rub it in,” he threw the

    AEMOND'S POV “Sir..sir, I think we have a big problem!” A guard rushed in, panting like he had escaped an attack from a polar bear.I spun sharply. “Are you out of your damn mind?” I snapped, walking towards the guard. "How dare you barge into my chambers without knocking? I'm sure you want this day to be your last here in the pack house as a guard, right? I yelled into his face.The young man recoiled his eyes wide with fear. His face was pale, sweat gathering around his temples. “I…I’m sorry, Alpha Aemond! But it’s urgent. You need to come. Now,” he stuttered, leaning in a bow.I heaved a sigh, seeing how his body shook in fear. "And was that why you had to badge into the chambers like a mad man?” I queried him. My voice, softer and calmer than before.He didn't say another word, just words of apology. Took a long look at him and eased him off the tension in his body. "You may go. I'd be out there in a minute," I waved him off like a housefly, turning back to my seat. He wasted no

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 108

    DON CARLITO'S POVI stood at my usual spot- The rooftop of my estate overlooking the city. It was past mid-afternoon, but today the weather wasn't harsh. It was windy, though not storm-like, but I couldn't sense it brewing, making me uncomfortable.Today seemed quiet, too damn quiet for a man like me. In my world, silence does not mean peace; it meant tension. It meant something was about to snap and I hated not being ahead of events.I viewed the city through my massive periscope, swaying it left and right, observing the street, which was the breeding site of chaos. "Any news from the head of the shadow boys?" I asked in a carefree tone, still looking through the periscope."Nothing, Sir. The last time I heard from Perez, he informed me the shipments are yet to arrive at the port," my assistant, Quavo, responded sharply. Quavo had been my eyes and ears around the city, sometimes I wonder why I hadn't given him the task of getting me the girl and the damn pendant."We are expecting

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 107

    AEMOND'S POVWalking through the halls of the pack house felt different this time. I could hear the whispers of my name through every wall I walked past. No one dared to look me in the eyes. Everyone scrambles off at the sight of me.I was headed to the cell when one of the guards ran up to me, hastening his steps to meet up with my pace.“I was informed you called for me Beta Aemond!” He said, gasping for breath.Did he just address me as Beta? What insolence! I stopped abruptly, clenching my fist with a twisted face and slowly turning around with my jaw twisting.“I am going to forgive your ignorance,” I said slowly, raising my eyes to meet that of the guard. “Next time!” I continued with a slow, dragged tone. “You don't address me as Beta! I am Alpha Aemond! And you, along with everyone else, will address me as that!” I hissed.The guard trembled as he bowed his head, apologizing for the misconception. “I am sorry, Alpha Aemond!” He pleaded.I scoffed, waving it off. “I need you to

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 106

    AEMOND'S POVI paced up and down what remained of the temple, my mind racing with words Valkyrie had told me in the trance. I had to get everything from that little bi**h. I never thought things would go south and now I have to go an extra length to get her. I growled in frustration, turning to Zephyr who stood motionless staring at me.“He offered me everything, Zephyr,” I muttered, sitting on the stone ledge beside the large window, staring into the dying twilight. “All, I have to do is get the damn bond broken and everything...I mean everything will be mine!" I voiced out with every sense of certainty.Zephyr shook his head in what seemed like disbelief.“You are totally out of your damn mind!” he barked, clawing his head in frustration. “No one strikes a deal with Valkyrie and walks out whole! That’s like shaking hands with the goddamn devil. You will lose everything and I mean every single thing!” he growled in a low tone, cautious not to have anyone hear him.A low growl rumbled
