KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 70.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S PO V."Anthony is the Alpha" Cole stated, as if it was supposed to make any difference, it does not really. "What ever decision he makes is for the sake of the Pack""And what is that supposed to mean?" my brows drew in question, lips tugged into a deep frown as I tried to discern his words. I already have a Inkling on what he is trying to say, I just do not want to believe he is truly saying that. Surely, he is not that narrow minded is he?Cole held my gaze, his eyes cold as they stared right back into mine unwaveringly. "What it means is that if he rejected you for someone else, then it only means one thing.""And what is that supposed to mean exactly, Cole?" I found myself repeating once again. "What possible justifiable reason could there be for Anthony's rejection and to chose a human woman over me?""It means a human is even better than you!" he threw out, hiswords harsh as th arctic cold. "It means you have no value that a huma
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 72.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.The environment surrounding us was no longer day time, it felt as though with the sudden shift of emotions, the air changed as well and our surrounding morphed into darkness of the night, the moon light breaking through the thick canopy, illuminating the sudden swirling mist that rose from the ground. My brows drew in as I took in the mist that appeared out of nowhere, my frown deepening.However, I did not get the time to fully think it through with Cole lunging himself at me. Thankfully, I managed to evade it just in time, and he recovered almost immediately, which is not a surprise because he is the beta after all. I am good, but I have never beaten Cole in the few times we had sparred.He does not spar with me often because he always says I am not up to his level where he would spar with me. The few times I managed to persist him long enough for him to spar with me, I never beat him—not once. He is hella good at fighting, not
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 73.CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.Evil magic has infiltrated the hunting grounds forest.When my magic earlier was blocked, I knew it could not have been some lowly witch or wizard. A normal level witch, or even one of the highest position in the covens could not have blocked my power, they do not have the strength to despite me not being a full witch or wizard whatsoever. How ever, the Lycan blood mixed with that of witches gave me immense power, as a hybrid. No creature can counter attack me.And in the only case where it is even remotely possible for my powers to be obstructed, is when black magic is involved—and I guessed as much when it had happened. I just did not vocalize it because there is no need alerting the Alphas yet. If there is someone handling black magic out there, then it is a threat to all the packs. But unless I get the source, or in this case, what I would assume would be the vessel in actuality, I would keep the information to mys
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 74.CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.I meant it when I said I could not care less about what others would think at the moment really. I could not care less that they see Esmeralda in my arms, or that I am taking her in the direction of my tent—the whole world could be damned really if it means letting them all know that she is my woman, especially at this very moment that she is hurt. I cannot spare any effort when it comes to saving her life really.How ever, as I made a beeline in the direction of my tent, Elias quickly caught up with me, his voice resonating within my mind as he mind linked me so no one else could hear, “Your Highness,” He called out, though calmly but the desperation to knock some sense into me was evident in his tone. “You cannot take her to your tent, there are too many people here. Every one in the academy is here.”“I do not care,” I dismissed, because I really do not. No one comes close to gaining my attention or care when my wom
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 75.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.My whole body hurts. Pain registered in my entire being the moment I tried to get up, or should I say, the moment I regained consciousness. I felt as though a sack of something heavy had been dumped on my body, weighing me down and keeping me from moving. My eyes peeled open slightly, and I am welcomed by the warm light of the candles that was used to light up what seems to be the tent I am in.Wait…tent?I flicked my eyes close once again as I tried to recall the events that happened leading to me being here. I could remember coming to the hunting grounds for an outdoor test, and I could remember going into the enchanted forest for it. I remember fighting the boars, and after it, a familiar face I least expect to be there showing up. My head began to ache as I tried to recollect the memories of Cole, his admission towards my identity and his hurtful words, not to mention, his attempt to ‘end’ it all, by killing me.My brows drew
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 76.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.“What do you want, Anthony?” I asked, my tone blank as I settled back on the bed of the tent I woke up in with his help, which to be honest I am not so happy about but my body feels oddly weaker than I expected, and it does not seem to be getting any better though it has only been a couple of minutes since I woke up.Anthony instead of replying, picked up a bottle of water which I did not notice earlier, popped the cap open for me, and then handed it out quietly. I retrieved it, my throat parched as I tilted my head back and downed the liquid without any worries of him poisoning me or something. I know he can, but I know at the same time that he would not—not in this very moment.Why? Because there are too many people here, and almost every one saw us coming into the tent together. It is not a fact I am entirely proud of, but we would definitely need the privacy to talk, and the fact that our mate bond is already known by all, at
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 77 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. I have no idea how long Anthony remained seated in that position, simply staring into space and letting the information all dwell on him. He seemed beaten, as if he had lost his entire pack or some thing else he worries about, and there was no ounce of faking it in his expression. I know Anthony, if he is faking it, I could see right through to him and I have no doubt in that exact moment that he is not faking it. I sat in silence as well, and we silently mourned what we lost in our own ways. In my own, I feel as though I am finally getting the closure I wanted, while Anthony is just beginning to process it entirely, and might end up doing so for the longest time even. I am not sure what position our relationship is at this moment, but I would like to believe we have come to the end of him plotting against me or what ever stupid notions he had in his mind up until this moment. A while later, dejectedly, he got in his feet, nearl
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 78 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. It has been two weeks, two weeks since the incident with Cole happened, two weeks since the test at the enchanting forest, two weeks since Anthony and I seemed to have grown a mutual agreement to stay out of each other’s lives with no malice whatsoever, and two weeks since Kai started acting weird. At first, I thought he was just trying to hide our bond, since I heard it was quite a scene when he found out I had been attacked. From what I heard, he nearly had the entire test stopped and stopped the Alphas from searching for me—instead, opting go alone and with the exception of Anthony whom, he could not turn down since he is the one that is recognized as my mate by the students and the instructors alike. Then, he was the one that brought me back in his arms, and apparently, there was a whole rumor that started as a result of that. But that rumor died down over the course of the past two weeks, especially with how indifferent
