KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 40.ESMERALDA’S POV.The time for the event to begin is six pm. So, by that time, everyone was pretty much expected to be in the castle, at the ballroom where it will be held. For us trainees, it is the first time that we would be there, being able to step foot in the castle so a lot were looking forward to it. I, on the other hand am not too enthusiastic, and was just hoping we could get the night over and done with.Heck, if it was up to me, then I will not attend to begin with but we were all instructed to be there so, there is that. So, about ten minutes to six, I stepped outside the dorms, where most had already either departed or were just coming out as well, just to be met with the sight of Zayde, already there waiting for me.The moment I spotted him, I gave him a quick onceover, taking in the outfit he had picked up. The ever so classic look by all the men, a black suit. Only, he was missing the suit jacket and instead, wore only the white dress shirt with

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 41.ESMERALDA’S POV.It was just as Zayde and I had spotted our designated table, where our friends are and had made our way towards it. Zayde, like the gentleman he is feigning to be tonight, pulled out my chair for me, which I thanked him for before settling down while he took his seat beside mine. However, before we could even get comfortable in the seat, and just as my gaze had met my friends and I offered them a warm smile, which they returned, the announcement came, getting all our attention.“Welcome, Their Royal Highnesses!”Everyone, of no matter which position or level, all rose to our feet, pushing our chairs back in the process. It was not until we had all rose on our feet uniformly, did they make an appearance, the air shifting almost immediately to signify the arrival of those of the highest influence in our world.The King, Luis and his wife, Queen Zera, showed up first, hand in hand, adorned of the most intricate and expensive outfit there is to be,

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 42.ESMERALDA’S POV.We were given the permission to settle down, and so we did. Everyone gracefully settled back on their seats comfortably, and as the gentleman I still believe he is feigning to be, Zayde helped push my seat a tad bit forward so I would be comfortable before he settled down on his seat.I offered him a small smile, then whispered a ‘thank you’ under my breath.He offered me a small back, his expression mirroring mine. “You are welcome.” He whispered back, then settled down on his own seat as well, pulling it forward a bit so he would be comfortable while every one else did the same, making ourselves comfortable—or as comfortable as one can be in front of these royals anyway.The night started out with a little speech about the history and importance of the blood moon night in the Lycans and werewolves alike by one of the oldest council members, which eventually transitioned into a ground for the King to say a couple of words. He kept it short, ba

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 42.ESMERALDA’S POV.I have never been much of a dancer, though I liked the idea of it. However, Anthony was never a fan of it—even when it comes to dancing for official purposes like the waltz and stuff—he always stays out of it. So, back in the days when I used to accompany him to occasions where such dance would take place, I would always be by the side, watching as the others go about it.I admired them, because most times, they seemed to be having fun. I wondered what it would be like for me to dance like that as well, with Anthony, as someone that I love. Now, I am finally living in that dream and fantasy, only, I am not dancing with Anthony for he had long faded out of the picture, and was instead, dancing with The Crown Prince, Alexander Malakai—someone I have feelings for, feelings I know deep down that I should not have.However, those worries and insecurities seemed to perish as we danced together on the floor, every one and everything else in the backgr

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 44.ESMERALDA’S POV.I was not surprised Valeria seemed to know her place around the palace, or that she was already aware of the plan. For a second, I wondered when they met each other, or how he managed to pass the information to her, but then I realized later on how stupid it was of me to have that thought.He can get the message to her if he wants to, any how he wants it and that would not be a problem. But, now as I followed her, I realized how little I know about Valeria truly. Yes, she and I have been friends for a while now, but I do not think I have ever sat down and actually spoke to her, about who she is, what she truly does, and what so ever. I made a mental note to ask her about it when we head back to the academy later on, because I believe I should know those I keep close to me well enough.She expertly guided us down a path where they were a few guards, and the ones we passed by did not seem to even bat an eyelid upon watching us walk down wards whe

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 45.ESMERALDA’S POV.To say I was shocked will be an under statement. I have not heard from my wolf since that night Anthony rejected us, and we lost our pup. She was still there—I could feel her in almost every thing I do how ever, I do not hear a thing from her.When ever I try to talk to her, she does not reply. In that sense, she has been dormant and for a second, I had forgot what it feels like to hear her speak in my mind. Of course, when ever we were around the Crown Prince, I have realized that she seems to be a bit more active, though she does not influence my attitude much.I now understood why, just as much as the new found knowledge shocked me to the core. I found myself stepping away from him, my mind a jumbled mess as I stared at him with lips parted, and eyes dilated. “I…” I breathed out, trying to make sense of what was going on. “…I…”My hand was still in his grip, and I was now overly aware of the tiny little sparks that came from the feel of his

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 46.ESMERALDA’S POV.I was shocked, but not scared. The note, it left an unsettling feeling on me, especially with how my name was written, seemingly more crooked and rugged than the other words written down. The fact that the person already wrote the title ‘princess’ along with my name showed the person has been aware for a while—given the blood had already dried so it must have been written at least over an hour—even the time taken for Malakai and I to dance could not have reached an hour, to us being here entirely.It could only mean one thing…the person has been aware for a while—even longer than I have been aware that Malakai is my mate, and I, his. I do not know much about Malakai, but with what I already know, I know he will not disclose the news to just anyone.The only ones he could trust with that secret must be those within his closest circle—perhaps Valeria, Elias, and someone else? But is there anyone beside him that would betray him? Could it be Elias

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 47.ESMERALDA’S POV.Stepping out of the room I had stayed in before, the first time I woke up after the rejection from Anthony, a sense of nostalgia swelled within me. But, unlike the first time, it did not hold me back or made me feel as though life was not worth living entirely. Instead, I felt empowered, and strong—as though I had walked past that stage and have emerged stronger than ever.As I descended the stairs, now changed into a more comfortable outfit that was waiting for me—though the slacks and top heavily scented of Malakai—I did not hate it, but rather, quite liked it. The sound of the voices from downstairs reached my ears—familiar voices I recognize as one belonging to Malakai—and the other to his most trusted aide, Elias. Upon reaching the end of the stairs, they both noticed my presence and I realized they were seated in the living room—or at least, Malakai was seated while Elias stood, his stance firm and judging from his expression, he did not
