Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win A Moment Together
Lucius’s point of view“This is beautiful.” She finally says, looking around, a smile on her face.The ambience of the restaurant is warm and cozy. From the low lights that surround the room to the tables, which are covered in creamy clothes and candles on each table.I place my hand on her lower back, and the warmth under my hand makes my heart race. I need to calm the fuck down.. In the corner, a woman is singing some songs. I take my time to look around for any security risks.I have gone on dates that my mum has organized with women from high-ranking packs, but no one has ever made me this nervous and wants everything to be perfect.I let go of her back, pulling a chair for her, and she offers me a smile and then mutters, “Thank you” I walk to the other side and sit down opposite herThe waiter comes and offers us menus with a bottle of wine that I ordered earlier, when I asked Justin to reserve for us when I made my reservation.I take my time to study the menu, and she turns t

Katrina’s point of view If someone told me that five months after meeting Lucius, the only thing I would want was his touch every time, I would have called their bluff. But here I am, being carried into his penthouse downtown. My lips devour his lips as he leads me to his bedroom. I frantically try to pull off his jacket, his hands around my waist, while the other one buries itself in my hair, and my legs are wrapped around his waist. Burying my head in his neck, I nibble on his skin. “ You look so beautiful that I want to keep you all to myself” he whispers, kissing me gently like I was a fragile thing that would break if not careful. I bury my fingers in his hair and let his lips devour me like a fire of desire. He lowers me on the bed and spreads my legs as she climbs on top of me, his kisses trailing from my lips to my jaw and then neck. He pulls away briefly, staring into my eyes, “Katrina” “No. Don’t do this, Lucius.” I say, placing a finger on his lips. I am not some vu

Lucius’s Point of View“Why do you insist on this girl? Lucius, you can do better than a divorced Luna,” my mother remarked while I made breakfast for Katrina.How could she understand that Katrina was the one for me? And now that I know she’s mine, I am never letting her go.“And this marriage that Cassian is organizing for you. It’s good for you to get in his good graces,” she went on.“I don’t want to be in his good graces. For fuck’s sake, can we drop this? Katrina will wake up any minute, and I don’t want her to hear you saying such things,” I said, beating the eggs.“That girl? This marriage, once sealed, could save you from being killed by Cassian. Please, Lucius, think about it.” She pleaded, but she was just wasting her breath because my mind was already setup.“I am with Katrina now. And I'm not getting into an arranged marriage,” I snapped,“I can’t believe you want to settle for that girl!”“Mum, please keep your voice down. As I told you, I am not marrying anyone but my m

Katrina’s point of view“I love you so much that it hurts when you look at me like that,” he whispered.My body stilled. Letting him hold me.“Lucius”He turns me around so that I am facing him.“I love you so much Katrina and I know right now you don’t to believe me, but I have no problem proving it to you. No matter how long it takes,” he cups my face.My eyes hold his eyes, hoping I could read if his lying to me, but it’s all true. He loves me.He does. My eyes well up, thinking of how desperately I wanted Xavier to love me like this.For him to look at me like this. To know that I am the only woman in his life.“Lucius”“Don’t say anything. Just give me a chance to prove it” he says to me and my heart races shaking my head moving away from him.“No. This is wrong. We would be breaking a lot of rules. You shouldn’t have fallen in love.” I moved away from him.“Fuck the rules. When have I ever given a fuck about them?” he tries to touch me but I back away. This isn’t the man I thoug

Katrina’s Point of ViewI walked into the meeting room twenty minutes later in my uniform. “You wanted to speak with me?” I asked the man as I entered the room.The man turned to face me, then said sarcastically, “The famous Luna Katrina”“It’s Deputy Commander.” I correct him.His lips turned into a smile, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. Judging by the ranks on his uniform, he must be a major.“What can I do for you?” I tilt my head, watching him. He was about the same height as Lucius, six-four. Maybe six-five? I thought inwardly. My eyes moved to his eyes, the same colour as Bianca’s, blue with a stubble beard, with such huge hands that I wondered if he spent time in the gym alone.“My sister. Bianca. I hear you are the one who—”“Wait!” I lifted my hand, cutting him short. “I don’t have any business with your sister. She confessed her crimes and luckily for her, she is a Blackfang, so won’t get to pay for what she did,” I say, and he strides towards me.“Confessed? You framed

Katrina’s point of view“Cassian! What’s wrong?” I rushed to Cassian, placing a hand on his forehead. He grabs my hand and pulls me into a hug before I can even process everything.I freeze, not sure what to do. “What’s wrong with him?” I ask, panicking as I place a hand on his back.It’s something I shouldn’t do, but I can’t help but do it.“Please, just stay like this with me,” he whispers to me, and I stare at Beta Ryan. “Panic attack,” he mouths to me as I swallow hard, gently stroking his back.“It’s okay. I am not going anywhere” I assure him, while stroking his back., he buries his head in my neck.My heart races thinking of Lucius. What would he say if he saw me cuddling his cousin right now?‘Then let go of him.’ Sage echoes, but I can’t leave someone who needs me alone.“Thank you,” he says to me once his calm, trying to get up to his feet. “what’s going on, Cassian? You suddenly have panic attacks” I say, getting up to my feet and he swallows hard looking at me.I don’t kno

Katrina’s point of view“You can’t! He only came because he thought something happened to me” I say to Cassian, trying to walk towards him and he tilts his head, regarding me.“Then he should use more of his head than his emotions,” he retortsI chuckle, shaking my head, “And me? Considering the consequences of coming into your bedroom, is marriage?” I ask.“Wait. I can’t marry a royal, so what? A concubine? A mistress? Or will I be demoted?” I ask him, and he raises his brow.“That’s different”“It’s not. You know the consequences of calling me into your room, and yet you did.” I countered, and he inhaled sharply, looking at me.“I can change the law for you,” he says, and I scoff, shaking my head. I see why Lucius hates him; the man is a two-faced bastard.“For you, I would bring the war to this doorstep and not give a dime,” he saysMy jaw drops as I tilt my head. He can’t possibly be—‘In love with you? Yes, he is’ Sage remarks.“Let’s go. I will handle the disrespect that Lucius

Katrina’s point of view“Just so I am clear. Whatever happens in this car stays in this car. I hear a word of it, and I will be the one slitting your throat,” I growl, before turning to Cassian.“Look at me,” I whisper to him, and he shakes his head, sweat streaming down his forehead.“Cassian, look at me. I am here” I whisper to him, and he slowly opens his eyes, tears in his eyes.“Breath with me”The car starts moving, and he nods his head, repeating after me. “Hold my hand if it gets uncomfortable,” I say to him, and he nods his head before we sit back.I can see Joshua and Beck swapping looks and I know I must explain it to them, but there are only so many people I can trust in the capital, and these two are about forty per cent of those people.“Lucius has all the details for the security. You didn’t have to ask him to stay back.” I start turning to look at Cassian.“His next in line to the throne. If he comes and we end up dying, it would be the end of our bloodline. I can’t ri

Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win Consequences Be Damned
Katrina’s point of view“You know he found his mate, right?” His mother’s words came to mind earlier. As I lifted my gaze to look at her. I was checking on the people stationed outside with the rogues when she came up to me while she waited for Kaelin.“He finally has a chance to be happy after waiting for years for a woman who didn’t want him. Let him go.”“Princess Ellie. I am sorry, but it’s your son who won’t let me go.” I snapped, irritated that she would assume I was the reason Lucius was not with his mate. I mean, he has been cozying up to her, so that should be fine.“You know he was rejected, right?” She asked me, and I paused what I was doing, shifting my attention to her.“He found his mate, and she rejected him. But he never lost hope, even after going against all odds. He went back to her, to ask her to marry him, and her parents said no. Do you have any idea what he has had to endure? Ten years waiting for a woman who doesn’t want you, but you endure. Knowing your wolf i
Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win Let Go
Lucius’s point of view“You wanted to talk?” I asked her, but she kept walking back into the garden, away from prying eyes.I look around, and it’s just two gardeners who are working on the flowers.“Kat!” My hand reached for her wrist, then turned to face me. Her eyes bored into me with such intensity that I took a step back. I always read all her emotions and thoughts, but right now I don’t.Her brows furrowed in frustration.“Katrina, what’s wrong?” My heart was racing now. I would give anything to see what she is thinking right now.“I wanted to discuss security tomorrow. It’s—”Before she could finish her sentence, I scoffed, causing her to pause as she stared at me. Her brows narrow in confusion.“If that’s all, then we should wait until the final briefing tomorrow morning” I turned around to leave. I thought she would have wanted to talk about us. Or yell at me, but to her everything is duty.“I met your mother when she was on her way here,” she blurts out, and that makes me st
Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win He is My Mate.
Ingrid’s point of viewHe doesn’t want us. He hates us so much and I know it’s because of that woman. A woman who can’t seem to let go of him.‘You can’t blame the luna. It’s our mate who doesn’t want us,’ My wolf Gus retorts. Always the one to come up with a reason. Sometimes I hate her for being such a smartass.‘I can hear you,’ she slaps back.‘Meant for you to hear it,’ I retort. I sink into the chair. Thinking of how I am going to handle this. Lucius is mine. Fated to be mine, but he wants a woman whom he can’t have?“I need to speak with him,” I say, determined. This time, he won’t ignore me. I know he feels the pull between us. Even the way he looks at us says it all.Like when I hugged him this morning. I could feel him lean back on me until that woman had to show up.“Talking to yourself again?” My omega Millie asks walking into the room with her basket of clothes.“Well, thinking about how to win over a man,” I say, turning to her, and she sighs heavily, setting down her ba
Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win The Terms
Lucius’s point of viewShe won’t fight for us. She doesn’t want to. I wish she thought maybe I was worth it. Worth fighting for, but I guess I am not.People fight for me because they know I can protect them. Others fight for me because of loyalty. No one has ever fought for me because they love me.I had hoped maybe Katrina might fight because she loves me. I sigh heavily, scribbling down on my notepad.“Unfortunately, this should have been communicated to us. Princess Kaelin is like a sister to me. I will not send her there with these conditions,” Cassian snaps.“We are giving you this land. I think it’s safe that she is—”“She is to be treated with respect. I will not have you marrying other women. A mistress or second wife. This treaty is done,” he snaps as Aidan smiles like this is funny. I won’t let my cousin be subjected to that.“I wasn’t suggesting that. I only meant in case she can’t bear children,” he adds as I scoff, shaking my head.“And how are we to know you are not the
Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win Try to Fight For Us
Katrina’s point of viewNothing can go wrong. I need it to go well.This is an opportunity for me to enter the rogue pack. I kept quiet the entire time while in the front passenger seat.Xavier is driving in front, and Martin is behind with Gamma Suri, while the other cars are with the delegation of twenty from the rogue king.“I hear Lucius found his mate,” Martin says behind me, breaking the awkward silence. I shift in my seat, glancing towards Xavier, who looks through the rearview, then back at me.“I suppose some people are not that lucky with love,” he says, but I just ignore him. He will try to get to me like his sister. I know it.“It’s not her fault if all the men in her life end up failing to fight for her. I know I would,” Gamma Suri retorts as I raise my eyebrows.“Between her and that psycho. I would pick her. But I guess most men think with their cocks,” she retorts. I gasp, glancing at Xavier, who fidgets in his seat.“That psycho is my sister, you bitch!” Martin retort
Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win The Rogue King
Lucius’s point of viewI don’t know how long she keeps driving, but when I finally open my eyes. We are by the border; the car has pulled over, and she is unbuckling her seat belt.“What the fuck, Katrina? I had a meeting with Cassian,” I snap, and she sighs heavily.“I am here to welcome the rogue king. I wasn’t going to be late because you have issues going on in your life,” she says, about to get out of the car, when I grab her wrist.I want to pull her into me and kiss her, but I know all this must be hard for her. “You love me, Katrina.” The words leave my lips. It’s the only assurance I have. It doesn’t matter what is happening. I know she loves me, so that’s enough for me.“So? That means nothing.”“It’s enough for me. Knowing that you love me. Not because of a bond but because you do” I whisper to her and her heart races.“Well, if I had known, you planned all this. I wouldn’t have fallen for you. And also, don’t worry. I am working on falling out of love with you,” she growls
Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win We need to talk
Lucius’s point of view“Katrina.” Her name rolls off my lips like a whisper when I see her walking away from Princess Ingrid.Something tells me Ingrid said something to Katrina. I heard her say she didn’t fight for men. Guess I am included in that.“Gerald, send me the details. Let’s catch up later.” I patted his shoulder and bolted the doors.“Luc!” Ingrid turns to me, a smile on her face, while Katrina walks away.“I was fucking clear. Stay the fuck away from me!” I growled, walking away, but she grabbed my wrist. Her touch sends electricity through me. My heart pounds so hard, and I feel my palms getting sweaty.“Don’t you fucking touch me!”“Please. I know you feel it. I know you feel this pulls between us,” she said pleadingly says, but trying to touch me, but I yank her hand away from her grip.“I was clear. I want nothing with you. I don’t want a bond with you.” I spun on my heel, ready to leave.“Is it because of her?” she asks.I stopped in my tracks. Taking a moment, before
Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win Another Jealous Mate
Katrina’s point of viewI’m his mate. The woman he wrongfully marked and sent to the goddess, but somehow, I was brought back to life.Three people knew what happened: my father, Lucius, and the witch who performed the spell to bring me back and erase my memories.But who is she? Why can’t I remember her face? I inwardly ask myself as I make my way towards the palace. It’s the first time in seven days that I will probably be here, but Aidan insisted he would feel better if I were here.So here I am playing bodyguard to beta Aidan, but I also didn’t expect to find Lucius and his ‘Mate’ here cuddling.‘He is ours! She can’t have him,’ Sage fumes.I don’t know where I stand, but he isn’t ours.He never was.My heart never learns.“Katrina!” I hear him shout behind me, but I don’t stop and head for the drawing room. I don’t want to hear his excuses.“Katrina!” he tries to touch me, but I spin on my heel, slapping him across the face. The sound of my hand connecting with his cheek echoed i
Luna Duet : May The Best Luna Win The Misunderstanding
Lucius’s point of view“Wow. Okay, this is too much to process,” Cassian says to me as I nod my head, throwing back my head.“Fuck Lucius. How could you be so reckless?”“I don’t know. Zane isn’t exactly someone I can rein in. He was a beast back there and everything he wanted he got,” I snap, sitting up and burying my face in my hands.‘So, this is my fault?’‘Fuck yes.’‘Really? Cause I told you not to tell her, and you didn’t listen. If there’s anyone to blame. It’s you,’ he shoots back.Of course, it is.“Still, Lucius. It was reckless and stupid.”“It was all Zane.”‘So, I am stupid? I will not let him insult us anymore’ Zane growls, and Cassian shakes his head before coming to sit in front of me.“She asked to be part of the team escorting Kaelin to the rogue pack. Any reason she is doing that?” He asks me as I shake my head.“Probably to get away from here as soon as possible,” I mutter, rubbing my face. It’s been a fucking week, and I haven’t seen or even bumped into her. She’
