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.

I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm blinking twice before adjusting my eyes so the light filtering into the room.

Right in front of me was Marcus, his breath fanning. Th

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna    The Curse Must Starve

    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,

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna    Between Crown and Child

    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

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna   The Weight of the Crown

    Lila's POV A week later.“Make sure to get the winery cross checked again. There's no way the hand pressed grape juice is finished. Thats the only thing that keeps me sane here.” I lamented, pacing around my room.“Sorry about that, Mi Lady. We'll hand press fresh grapes for you immediately. Ten minutes. Ten minutes is all it's gonna take…. maximum.” Samie my newest bodyguard assured.I stopped pacing and looked at him.“Ten minutes?” I raised a brow. “Ten minutes sounds like eternity. Listen Sammie. You don't know how these pregnancy cravings work. Once I'm craving something to eat, I have to eat it immediately. It shouldn't be delayed. Now I grave hand pressed grapes and you expect me to wait for ten minutes? I can't. He straightened immediately. “you don't have to worry ma'am. I'll make sure that they are quick about it. I'll makes sure of it. It won't be like last time, I mean it.”I sighed and rubbed my temple. Times had changed and I was the backbone of the pack. The forbearer

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna   The True Heir

    Lila's POV All the elders were led into the Grand Hall. As they entered, they had a perplexed look on their faces as they tried to understand why I, the prisoner, was suddenly in charge.Whispers filled the room almost immediately. I love the look on their faces, the ones who once mocked me, we're now my subject and how to do anything I say. This was the irony of life. I watched their eyes move from me to the lord tomorrow and then to the blood on my body and also the stained knife I had in my hand. The look of confusion, suspicion and shock on their faces brought so much happiness.I walked deeper until I stood at the center of the hall with elders on both sides. I raised my head with so much pride, my back straight and my chin up. This was my moment. This was the time I would prove myself as the true heir. I refused to look weak. One of the elders stepped forward, his brows furrowed deeply. He looked very disturbed like the balance of nature had just been tampered with. “What is

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna   The Heir and the Queen

    Lila's POV “Ma'am!!” Claire yelled as she ran up to me, getting lost in my embrace.“I thought I lost you Claire. I thought Darren's men killed you. I hope they didn't touch you?”My hands held her tightly as I pulled back to look at her face. I didn't trust Darren's word and I had to confirm myself if she was safe. My eyes scanned every part of her like I was searching for hidden wounds. I also had to know if she was lying to me or not.“I’m fine,” she said quickly, nodding. “I'm not harmed. I'm fit as a jackass. Look…” she swirled around. They didn’t touch me. They had me locked away in a room and fed me two square shabby meals a day. When the attack started, I was able to sneak out without the guards noticing and I hid when the attack started. I was so scared… but I knew you would come back. I knew that if you were free, you would look for me and will take me out of this place. I have to admit, I was scared to death.”Her voice broke at the end, and I pulled her into another hug.
