Lila's POV

The chippings of the bird shattered through my subconsciousness, stirring me in my sleep, like something gentle dragging me back to reality

The bed was a king size bed, wide and extra fluffy. I lay in-between Marcus and Daniel, sandwiched between them. Fully conscious, my body felt sore and surprisingly heavy.

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna   Walls Have Ears, Queen

    Lila's POV I rose from my throne, surprise etched on my face.“How did you know about that? Who told you? Have you been spying on me this whole time?”My voice came out sharper than I expected, echoing slightly across the hall. “Calm down, Lila. You don’t have to crash out. I’d willingly assure you that it is not a big deal.” Marcus said softly, lifting his hands a little like he was trying to settle a storm.I turned and looked at Daniel expecting him to be bossy as usual but Daniel just sighed, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, his expression unreadable.I looked away from him mad at myself that I was seeking his validation when I clearly shouldn't be. I didn't sit back on my throne because I couldn't. To know that they had been watching me all this while and never bothered to come to my aid when I needed them the most was surprising.My heart was beating too fast, almost like it would explode the next second.“Don't try to calm me down and tell me that it wasn't a big de

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna   We Are Here to Help

    Lila's POV The Twin Alphas didn't like my humor of how loudly I laughed. They exchanged looks, clearly uncomfortable with my wild reaction.I noticed it. Of course I did. I had my unwavering gaze fixed on them. Nothing escapes me whenever I did. I observed their body language and immediately realized that they weren't expecting me to react that way.My laughter slowly faded but the smile stayed on my face. I sighed and I leaned back slightly in my chair, crossing my legs like I didn’t care. Of course I didn't. What care about what these monster think about my laughter when they threw me out and turned their eyes on me the period I needed them the most.“Is something wrong? Why are you both staring at me like that?” asked, tilting my head.Marcus folded his arm over his chest and cleared his throat nonchalantly.Why would you think something Is wrong? We should be asking you that, Lila.” he said carefully. “We made a comment and you laughed. Let's just say that I didn’t expect… that

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna   The Alphas’ Uninvited Return

    Lila's POV Four days I still had it in my mind. The worry. The fear that slowly drained me mentally. I know I wasn't supposed to worry but I was slowly getting depressed, it's slowly worsened as the days went by. “Ma’am I'm sorry for interrupting but I have something very important to say.” Claire's voice sounded from outside the door interrupting me in my train of thoughts.“What is it, Claire?”I inquired as I stopped pacing around and sat by the edge of the bed.“Well….um…how do I say this? The alphas are here to see you. Alpha Marcus and Daniel.”This was a shock to my ear. What were they doing and why were they here? Why decide to show yourself in my pack uninvited and unannounced?“What!!!??”I yelled.“Yes, ma’am,” Claire said quickly as she stepped in. “They have been here for the past 20 minutes and I had initially told them to leave but they insisted on waiting for your return and that's why I'm here telling you right now that they are waiting in the Grand Hall. And from th

    Lila's POV.“I know why you are here.” The Oracle said, her back at us. “ You came because your curse poses a threat to your life and the life of our future ruler.”I froze for a moment. I have totally forgotten the oracles had the powers to read minds and know exactly what you are thinking without having to ask you. All they had to do was chant a few spells and read your mind. Slowly, the Oracle turned to face us. Rowan and I had embarked on our journey alone because I needed him to mentally support me in case I wanted to do something stupid. I locked my gaze with that of the Oracle. Her eyes were calm. I knew that they held something strange knowing she could see into my problems. “So you already know,” I said, trying to steady my voice. “Then you also know how to stop it. You should know how to propose a solution to my problem. You are the oracle after all.”She tilted her head slightly, her hands hovering over a clay pot in a circle motion. “I can understand your frustration,

    Lila's POV “My curse!? How worse can it be? I don't understand. What's going on? Is it gonna affect my child?” I asked, my voice rising with panic.The healer raised his hands calmly, knowing exactly how I'd react about this. He flashed a professional smile at me.“My Queen, please… relax. Stress will only make it worse. I know you are worried but prioritize your health first. Don't stress yourself out to much. Everything is gonna be fine.”“Don’t tell me to relax!” I snapped. “Its me you are talking about here. I need to know what's going on.” I looked from the healer to Rowan and Claire and then back to the healer. “Just tell me the truth.”He sighed and stepped closer.“There's nothing more to say other than the curse in your bloodline…. the course was never completely gone. It only went dormant for a while. It didn't vanish completely nor was it subdued. It's active now and poses a threat to your safety and that of your child.”My heart dropped into the darkest and deepest part o

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna   A Crown Too Heavy to Bear

    Lila's POV “What happened? I remembered talking to you. Why am I here? The bed is so uncomfortable.” I complained, inquiring from Claire.“You fainted ma'am. We were having a conversation when you fainted. I altered Rowan and he called the healer. The healer has something to say.”I shut my eyes, my eyes heavy.“Where's the healer?”“He's making a new concoction for the baby. He'll be here in a few minutes.” Claire replied gently, adjusting the pillow behind my head.I frowned slightly. What was I need in a conclusion for? Last I checked I had taken the herbs Rowan prescribed to me.“A concoction? Is something wrong? What did you say about me? Is something wrong with my health? And the baby I'll be okay? I asked, slowly opening my eyes to look at her.Claire hesitated and I needed to know that something was definitely wrong with her hesitation. Whatever was wrong, I had to hear it. I had to know the way forward if it affected me or the baby or the both of us.“Answer my question, Cla
