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   A Queen Needs No King

    Lila's POV “Is this supposed to be a problem? Haven't y'all heard of a single mom? I'm capable of rulling the kingdom and raising my child when the time is due. Don't tell me to find a husband. Y'all are so worried for nothing.”This was the second council meeting with the elders and they all expressed concern about health. I swept my gaze across the pews. They looked unsatisfied and concerned.“I don’t see it that way,” one of the elders spoke up, his voice calm but firm. “We are not trying to call you weak, we are just worried about your health and we want the best for you. It is not just about strength my queen, it's about stability as the ruler of this pack. The people are watching and they are worried that the health of a queen is failing at the early stages of her reign.”I let out a short, dry laugh.“The people? The people don't know anything about my health status and even if they knew, it's all a rumor and they can check mate the fact. I know it has nothing to do with the

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna   The Curse That Never Was

    Lila's POV “Why can't you see anything? Are you telling me that there's nothing wrong with me? What sort of a shaman are you? Everyone in the universe knows I'm cursed.” I yelled, totally disoriented.My chest rose and fell quickly as I stepped back from the man sitting across the small dim room, lost in deep thoughts. I had done my research and all the feedback suggested that he was a great shaman and would help break my curse but hearing him make such a statement, made me doubt for a second why I summoned him in the palace. The candles around us flickered eerily but his expression stayed calm. He was undisturbed by my rage. Too calm for someone I had just shouted at.He didn’t even blink. He stared into an elixir contained in a shabby pot. For a moment, the thought of him being an act crossed my mind but I pushed it aside.“That is impossible. How is it possible that I no longer have a curse? Are you suggesting that it disappeared overnight? No way!” I added, my voice shaking no

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna    Refusing Their Salvation

    Lila's POV “I don't want those men back here again, Rowan. Make sure of that. The guards shouldn't let them in when next they come because I know they will. They are very persistent.”Rowan nodded slowly.“Noted ma'am. I'll put that into action immediately.”I heft a sign and run my fingers through my hair. The doctor had warned that I shouldn't stress myself but here I was being stressed by Marcus and Daniel who decided to pay me a visit unannounced.“If you don't mind me asking, who were these men? Who are they and why are they bothering you?”I hesitated. I didn't want to talk about them because talking about them would make me think more about them and that was a weak point. I wanted to tell Rowan not to worry about it but maybe he should know since he was now a part of my life, and played a big role in the upkeep of the pack.“Those men, they are the father of my child. The man who banished me from their pack after I was wrongly accused of treason and theft.”Rowan’s eyes wide

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna    The Plan to Save Lila

    Marcus’ POV I knew this was a bad idea. I've always known that she wouldn't let us help her. What a stubborn lady she had become over the span of two months.” I lamented.Lila didn't even give us time to explain ourselves and why we were here to help and all she did was kick us like we weren't men of class.The guards let us outside and the heavy door shut behind us with a loud thud, the sound traveling and echoing in the empty hallway that stretched out before us. For a moment, no one said anything. The guards stood at a distance, watching us like we were criminals, even though we had done nothing wrong. They were probably expecting us to get going without having to stand and loiter in the corners. They exchanged looks between themselves and walked away, disappearing in the corner.I ran my hand through my hair and let out a long breath.“She’s getting worse,” I muttered. “You can see how fragile she looked. She's not getting any better and it's worse because she is pregnant and he

  • 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
