2024-05-30 05:58:21ANTHONY’S POV.
Claire is my mate; she has to be.
I fell in love with her at first sight. She is beautiful, and the moment I saw her on the battlefield despite the chaos surrounding us, I felt the bond between us. Even in her weak and fragile state, she is still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and I felt pulled towards her. I knew then she is my mate, and I want no one else.
It is only right I bring her back to my pack and make her my Luna.
Even though everyone is against my decision apparently, I have no regrets. I know what I feel for her. They may not understand it now, but they would later on. A mate is always the best thing to happen to happen to a wolf, and to an Alpha wolf, a Luna, a fated mate is not just the best thing to happen to him but to the pack as well.
So, this is ultimately for everyone as well. I will still choose Claire as my mate over and over again if I have to.
At night, I was prepared to mate with Claire for the first time ever. With the whole turmoil of the war and everything, there was not a time for that at all, I could not even find time to be with her alone or mark her despite her asking me to do so.
I get her insecurities. It would be hard for everyone to accept her given her human status, and especially after what happened earlier today, I know she is right. It is best for me to mate and mark her, then her insecurities might go away, and they can all understand just how firm I am on this.
As I remained seated on the bed, I watched as Claire emerged from the bathroom dressed in nothing but a flimsy lingerie. Her lips slanted upwards into a sultry smile as she stepped further into the room, a gentle sway to her hips with each step she takes.
She slowly undressed herself, revealing her naked body as she reached the edge of the bed. My eyes darkened, and her smile widened at the action, as she leaned downwards, slowly crawling over to me.
My hand went to the nape of her neck, as I buried my face there, inhaling her scent. However, my wolf’s voice suddenly came in my mind, halting any further thoughts I have.
“I can’t smell the mate scent from her,” He grumbled, grouchier than he normally is. “Why would you betray Esmeralda in public this morning? She is a good warrior and will be a good and Luna, you know it. The pack will accept her easily as well and I am more at ease with her as well.”
His words made me furious, and any feel I had contrary at the moment evaporated. “Esmeralda is my parent’s choice, not mine,” I gritted back at him, because she truly is. Yes, she is a good warrior and might have been a good Luna as well, and yes we messed around quite a lot but it ends at that, us messing around. “I want a mate I chose myself, not the one they want.”
My whole life, everything seems to have been predetermined already by them, and I stick to it through every step of the way. However, not when it comes to my mate, I cannot let them decide for me on something that important.
So, I tried to block out my wolf and focus on having a great time with Claire, but he had too much of control over me. And against my own judgement, I found myself whispering a ‘sorry, I can’t do this’ to Claire and then moved away from her.
“Wait, Anthony…” I heard her voice behind me, a mixture of surprise and worry but I ignored it, wanting to be as far away from her so I will not have her witness this internal battle.
Heading away from the pack house, I made my way directly to the woods, the one place wolves all seem to find solace and where I know I would too. I do not know how long I kept walking, but at one point, the anger from earlier had dissipated and in its stead, a sweet scent hit me, making me stop in my tracks.
As the scent registered, my wolf’s voice came again, only this time, it was anything but angry. “Mate!” He exclaimed, making my whole body perk up.
Turning around, I followed the scent, but it felt fleeting, as if the person is moving in a fast pace. I chased after it, running in between trees and despite the darkness of the night, I chased that scent until it stopped.
Then, I saw the figure from behind, and I found myself breathing, taking in that scent greedily as I yearned to see who the owner of the scent it. The person then turned around, and my jaw dropped to the floor.
Esmeralda…she is my mate?
No. How could it be?!

ESMERALDA’S POV.I watched every emotion display across Anthony’s face, every bit of it since I turned around and met his gaze.Confusion was the first emotion to flick across his features, followed by surprise as his lips parted slightly and his eyes dilated. My best guess is, he has finally figured out that there is a bond between us.I felt it when he was following me around, I could tell it is him from the scent. I was simply taking a stroll in the forest to clear my head and decide when I would leave the pack when I heard it—the snap of twigs as someone’s presence became known, and as my steps hastened, so did his.However, at a point, I realized there is no point running away. I am not guilty of anything after all, and the only reason I did so was to avoid talking to him lest he decides to bring up the mistress issue again and heaven help me, I might do something I certainly will not regret.The look I saw on his face though, somehow lit up what I thought had diminished or shoul

ESMERALDA’S POV.I felt as though I am floating, I could not exactly feel myself bounded to anything, but rather, I was free. I tried to move my body, open my eyes, or shift my finger at the very least but none of that worked. Instead, I felt unable to do anything, and wherever I looked around, I could only see darkness nothing else.I tried to speak to my wolf through my mind, but I could not do that also. It felt as though I am in a different universe from the one she is in. I could not even feel her. My reality began to blur out though and before I know it, I had lost the ability to think all together. In the distance though, I heard muffled, unfamiliar voices. My skin, it felt a bit chilly, but the same time, bound to something incredibly warm. I could not decipher a single word though as the darkness took me with it, and the only thing I could decipher, the pain that took over my body.The next time I felt myself awake, I could actually open my eyes, though it proved to be a diff

King's Luna CHAPTER 7.Alexander MALAKAI’S POV.“The Elites Guards training will soon start, and they will be entrusted to protect His Majesty the King, and of course, You and Your brothers, Your Highness.” Stated one of the council members, Fergus, the oldest one—his gruff voice a testament of years he has lived—a voice he has used to get so many things done his way over the past decades.Another council member spoke, in support of his words. “Exactly, Your Highness. You are to trust the overseers of this assignment. As always, they will bring out only the best of the guards, and station them to you.”“But, the King already has his Elite Guards,” Tobias, my will be third-in command expressed from where he sat by my right at the high table. His tone was firm, and cold, matching his usual attitude. Shifting his gaze to each member that spoke, he added. “And the royals guards will protect the Princes. I think you are forgetting that the Elite Guards are entrusted to the Royal Prince. The

King's Luna CHAPTER 8.Alexander MALAKAI’S POV.The moment we arrived at the secret house and stepped in, the sound of something crashing welcomed us, followed by a scream filled with agony—coupled with that addicting scent that instantly got to my mind, making me take a deep, greedy whiff of it as my eyes flicked close. My gaze flickered upwards, in the direction where the noise is coming from. Hastening my steps, I found myself upstairs and in front of the door in a couple of seconds.Pushing the door open, the scent overwhelmed me, and I could feel my inner beast trying to make an appearance. I could not hold him back, at least not completely for the minute we stepped into the room, the scent hit me harder than before—reminding me of its intensity just as I felt it the first time.I could feel him trying to make an appearance, as without so much as scanning the room, our eyes zoomed in on our sole target—the pretty damsel in the corner of the room, standing by the window and holding

ALEXANDER’S POV.“Your Highness, are you really going to go forth with your plans of taking over the Elite Guards training and selection yourself?” Elias asked, though there was nothing daring about his tone to question my action.Rather, I could detect concern, knowing what I am about to do and what it might result to.But, at this point, he of all people should know my stance when it comes to this. Making my way towards the medium sized window of the cottage like house, I stared outside at the vast trees that goes far beyond normal wolf’s eye sight—but being a Lycan, a royal at that, I can see miles beyond that which the others could and can hear as far.It may seem like a casual look, but I was making sure there is no one in sight. The last thing I want is for someone to know about her, for if such is to happen now, then it will be bad for the person.“Of course,” I answered calmly, no trace of wavering in my tone for I am far beyond that stage now. My voice was a low grumble when

ESMERALDA’S POV.“What do you need from the King?” The stranger asked, his tone even, calm but deep.I may not be in my complete sense of mind, but I am vaguely aware of what is happening around me. This man, with his beautiful forest green eyes and a face that would every man envy him, has this imposing aura around him which screams not to be messed with. It can felt from miles away, and he does not try to shield it.He is someone of power here, I just know he is. I can feel it.But, at this same time, there is something about him that I can feel but cannot quite place a finger at. I felt drawn to him, and when he holds my gaze, my heart rate spikes up. When he touched my skin earlier, I felt goosebumps—the good kind.It was as if no matter the turmoil I am going through, the moment I held his gaze, the tornado in my mind simmered down and it all started to dissipate slowly.His question, it brought me back to reality, the underlying mysterious aura behind the question reminding me o

ESMERALDA’S POV.Becoming an Elite Guard for the Royals has always been a dream of mine since I was young. However, that dream perished when Anthony and I became engaged, and I thought becoming his Luna and the mother of his children is more than enough for me, that it is more than what life as a Guard could have offered me. Besides, he was never that supportive of me being a pack warrior to begin with, he has always mentioned how I would have to leave that if I were to become Luna. That he does not want a warrior for a Luna.So, you can say, I gave up my dream just to be the perfect Luna to him since that was what he wanted, but no more.The Elite Guards for the royals? That is a dream come true for every warrior of any pack—even my brother Cole wanted to join but with the Beta position, he gave it up.And now, when everything has gone down the drain and I feel as though I have no future left for me, this offer presents itself on a golden platter. Perhaps, it is stupid to believe thi

ALEXANDER’S POV.The night time has always been my favorite time of the day, especially when the events of the day has ended and I am left to enjoy that moment of silence to myself with no disturbance in sight. In those moments, I usually enjoy the silence and peace that comes with being in the royal garden. Probably the last place anyone would expect to see me at, and that is exactly why it is the one place where I can get some silence and peace.I have been sitting there for over two hours trying to enjoy some sense of peace, but it is the last thing on my mind not when the same thing has been plaguing my mind the entire day.Esmeralda.Her thoughts, her face, her as a whole, it keeps plaguing my mind. And that name, perfectly fit for someone like her, I cannot find myself able to get rid of her from my mind, not that I have tried to really but it is the first for me.Normally, I am so in control of my emotions that there has never been a woman, or anyone to be honest that plagues m

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 106. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. We have lost a number of people because of the battle, one of which happened to be Anthony. We did not realize it until we were going through the deceased, and that was when we saw him. I admit, my heart did squeeze when I saw him, and I felt bad but as the Alpha he was, he had a deserving and well respected funeral back at his pack for him. Elder Aloha Theron was also lost in the fight,and the entire Kingdom mourned not just for his death, but for the death of every single person and warrior that had sacrificed thier life for the greater good. There were mourning days for the fallen wolves, one that the entire Kingdom did in respect for them. And afterwards, the crowning ceremony took place in which my mate, Alexander Malakai was crowned King at long last, and beside him, I was pledged Queen and Luna. He kept to his words, and after the crowning and all, took me to go and see my parents. But even having the position of the

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 105 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.They say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and I have never believe that as much as I did today. All I saw was red as I fought against those guards that wanted to take my life, I have no idea what got into me but I had this need to just end it all, to save my child at all costs.Ruby and Valeria managed to escape as well, and they joined in on the fight just as I was about to be overpowered by the wolves there. They helped me fight Elias to death and even brought a little present to me—the Queen that was in the house and they managed to capture. I took her as bait, and then led us to the battle grounds because after all. She is the root cause of all this. And what is more pathetic is that she is weak. She could not and did not attempt to fight me and if she did, I would gladly pull her dead body there. The ground was cold beneath my feet, but I barely felt it. My heart was hammering in my chest, every pulse a reminder of

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 104 CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.I have been anticipating the battle for the longest time, and I thought I had fully prepared myself for the bloodshed and was more than willing to sacrifice whatever is necessary but I underestimated how I would feel to have some of my people gone as a result of it.The reeking stench of blood filled my lungs. It clung to the cold, biting and arctic air, mixing with the sharp tang of iron and the wet, sickly smell of death. A scent I have gotten accosted to unfortunately.I stood in the middle of it all—bodies of fallen wolves littering the snow-covered ground, once proud warriors now reduced to motionless husks. Blood seeped into the white beneath them, staining the battlefield like a macabre canvas. Their eyes, wide open, stared into nothingness. My fallen soldiers, their lives gone like the wisp of wind for the sake of the throne and the Kingdom. As much as my heart ached at the sight, I knew I could not let it ge

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 103 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. As I tried to wake up, my whole body ached, and my head was pounding almost as if something was being used to hammer it. I tried to move my body, but my limbs were sore and aching while it felt weak as well. I released a breath, then tried to part my eyes open. At first, my gaze was blurry but after a couple of blinking, I managed to clear away the blurriness. That was when I got the chance to fully look around my surrounding and take it in, my mind registering the seeming cell I am held this time around.The cell was suffocating to say the least . Cold, damp stone surrounded me on all sides, the air thick with the stench of mild dew and something more metallic—blood, probably old. It reminded me of the old cell I was held in just a few days ago, and I felt nauseated to be honest. Way too much if I am being direct but I tried to hold it back.There were no windows, just a small, rusted grate near the ceiling that allowed in t

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 102. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. The time it took to reach the safe house this time was much quicker than the last when I came with Kai and left with Elias. True to Kai’s words, as we approached the place, even I could not tell that the cottage was there because he had made it invincible. The moment we got through the barrier though, the cottage was in sight and Elias explained how only we can get in, an outsider would not be able to get past the barrier. Once in the confines of the homey cottage, despite the recluse it offered from everything going out there, the tension in the room was evident stemming from each and every one of us being worried for what the outcome might be. I feel bad rmtowards them all honestly. I know if it was up to them, they would be out there fighting as well but they had to stay back and stay with me. I would have preferred to be out there as well not stow away out here, hiding like a coward. If not for the child I am carrying, a

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 101. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.At this rate, the amount of times things just change within a couple of hours is scary. I have been anticipating the moment of change, and so has Kai but I was still caught aback, and my heart hammered behind my rib cage when Elias’s mindlink came to Kai, that the other side have started moving, and have officially declared war on our side.That was how Kai and I found ourselves getting ready—while he prepared to go out for the war, I was preparing to head to the safe house with Ruby and Valeria. Once fully dressed and all charged, Kai and I made our way out to where the others were waiting, hand in hand. We found out them outside by the tunnel that leads to the safe house, the same Kai and went through the last time we found ourselves there.By the entrance of the tunnel, Elias, Valeria, Ruby, Aloha Kael and Zayde were waiting—the ones I noticed Kai seems to have the most trust in. The moment we reached where they were, thier

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 100. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. “News has it that the other side plans on striking tonight.” Kai said to me, the minute we stepped foot back in our room, after the meeting had ended earlier with plans on attack and defenses, as well as the situation of posts. It was not announced directly, but we all knew that the battle is only a few hours away. Even as we walked back to our room, the tension thick in the air of the castle was palpable. It could be spotted even from a mile away, and it was impossible to miss. There was this cold, looming dark clouds that hung above the place, a testament and holding a promise of the blood that will be shed in a couple of hours. Both sides have drawn up their swords, and it was no longer a matter of familial bonds or that of brothers. It was a battle for a position, a win or lose situation where there is no in between. A slight sigh escaped my lips as I made my way towards the bed, then settled down on it. Kai came to sett

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 99 CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.Truthfully, I have since been looking for a way to avenge Esmeralda for all that she has been through, from those that made her end up in the exact position that led her to my arms. Even without it given how fate is we would have ended up together one way or another, it did not have to be as bloody and costly as it was.So, did you think I would miss the chance to make the people pay? Anthony I let off the hook for that short moment, because he is one of my people and I cannot dispense him without making such of him especially at such a critical moment. His little chosen mate though that he has sent home, upon realizing who she was, I caught while she is on the run—another reason for me to query him later on piling up. That cold air of the dungeon pricked and nibbled at my skin as I went down into the deepest parts of the palace, my boots echoing against the old and wet stones of the pathway. This was where I kept tho

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 98CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.You see, I have always been a firm believer of keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer. Sometimes, your greatest enemy could be right beside you all along. Just as your greatest ally could be right beside you as well without you knowing, or with you knowing. Whichever way it works really.In my case, that ally and foe has been my brothers, the ones that could compete with me should the throne become vacant as it is right now as of this moment. You see, my dearest step mother, Queen Zara has always fancied her eldest child over her second—she had higher hopes and higher plans for her first son and the perfect one, while the second son got ignored and never commended for whatever it is he had ever done.It did not matter if he ever does something good, he would not be commended for it but rather, ignored. So he became the bad one, befitting if the lack of comments and rightfully taking the brunt of her anger
