Masuk[Avira]I saw Nanisca cut through the crowd just as Alpha Magnus was being wheeled away, and I knew she was coming to me, and to gloat. Alpha Magnus had stated his intention to take Nanisca as his mate, and even though I did not act like it, I was thrown off guard. Why Nanisca?Anyone else would have been great. Anyone but her. I could already see her making my life as hellish as she can."Hello Luna," she called in mock devotion when she got to me. Declan had leaned closer to me, and Dylan too, which was a relief. It was strange that neither of them had done anything to stop their father, or tried to talk him out of his sudden madness.I smiled back at her, concealing my dissatisfaction and disappointment behind the smile. Even though I feared for my well-being, I must not let Nanisca know it or suspect it for a second.I fired back at her in the most polite manner I could, and left the room as elegantly as the pain in my heart
[Declan]"Uhm– Avira," I called, looking at her. For a moment, I saw her freeze but she did not look away from Dylan.When she looked away eventually, it was with a deliberate sluggishness, as if it was an exercise she would rather not do."I'm sorry for what happened earlier, it–" I apologized or tried to, but Avira's calm voice sharply cut me off. "I already told you, Declan. You do not owe me any explanation or an apology. You did what you did. In fact I should apologize for barging in on you and your lover." She replied instead. Her tone was calm, too calm for a she-wolf who had caught her mate in bed with another woman. For Avira's case, she is a Luna while the other woman is a slave which is worse. But she did nothing, and said as much. An indication that the mate bond which we share means nothing to her.She continued walking down the hall, towards the door that led to the throne room while I followed from behind her wi
[Declan]Avira's words caused a seizure in my heart, but before I could say anything, she pushed the door closed with a bang. I remained on the spot for a while, not sure whether to keep going, or to resume asking her to forgive me.I opted for the former, recalling that she had sent me out herself. I didn't want to upset her more than she already was, so I dragged my heavy feet down the hallway, towards my bedroom. Avira's door pulled open when I reached for my door, and Mira stepped out, holding the steamy cup she had brought in only a few minutes ago. Avira had probably asked her out of her bedroom too, probably to have some time alone.I got inside my bedroom, and laid heavily on my bed, but I was unable to curtail the restlessness I felt. The image of Avira walking into Nanisca and I replayed in my head, and caused me to shudder in embarrassment and disgust.There was no need to pretend that I did not hate myself right now. To
[Avira]Mira reported late to duty this morning, and because it was her first, I was willing to let it slide. But she did not only come late, she was also limping on both legs."Are you alright?" I asked, after a close look at her legs. I had just put away the now empty plates of my late breakfast, and was in for a chitchat with my favourite personal servant. The others were busy with the chores I assigned them, leaving Mira to keep me company.She nodded quickly, too quickly, and I knew that something was wrong."What happened to your legs?" I asked, but she hesitated, and I saw the fear in her eyes."It was a minor accident, Luna." Mira replied but I was not about to buy that story. She was lying, and I could tell."You call me your Luna, and you lie to my face." I said simply. She looked at me, like she would rather not say what was wrong with her, but she told me anyway.It's Nanisca." She finally told me in a whisper, and I felt my chest welling up in anger. An assault to my pers
[Declan]Something about her was different, and I didn't know what it was. It wasn't the fact that she was naked, or that her whole body was covered in wax. Only a few minutes ago, I was charging towards her with the intention to hurt or even kill her, but I wasn't thinking about hurting her anymore, and it doesn't seem right.I lost my ability to think clearly, and could only think about pleasing her now. But how?"Were you looking for something?" Nanisca asked, facing me. "Yes," I replied, facing her but my eyes were fixed on her breasts which were pointed at me. "What was that?" She asked casually, and as much as I tried, I could not remember what I was looking for."Really? You don't know what you were looking for, and you made a mess of my bedroom," Nanisca protested in a tone that was far too excited to be serious."I'll put them back." I replied quickly, and began to undo the mess I made. I started with the queen sized bed which was upturned, and put it back to its place. I
[Avira]The Luna Locks on Avira's neck came off, and her scent doubled. I felt my wolf stir up happily from within me, but I kept a straight face.She was not happy that she was mated to me, and she did not bother to hide it. Her expression had been happier when it was Dylan's turn to mark her, and now that I stood in front of her, her face was twisted up in a frown.My wolf stopped stirring in excitement, and whimpered in disappointment instead. "She'll come around," I said in my head. "She'll come around." I repeated, and hoped it would be the case."Do you consent to be marked by Declan Thiago as your mate?" Shammar's voice called out, forcing me out of my thoughts. I fixed my gaze on Avira who was looking at me now with expressionless eyes. I saw Avira shake her head, to refuse me from marking her, and my heart skipped a beat. But my father's angry voice rang out, and stopped her from saying anything.Avira looked towar
[Avira]"Have you gone deaf or mute?" Declan barked, and I flinched. He was closing in on me now, and I felt cornered. I took a few fearful steps backwards, and he raised his eyebrow in feigned surprise. The adjoining door he had emerged from a few minutes ago pulled open just then, and two girls
[Dylan]I left the guest room which Avira occupied, and headed for the servants' quarters. There, I appointed Mira and Violet to take care of my guest. It was late, and even though they were already sleeping when I got to their quarters, they had to shake sleep off their eyes, and carry out my ins
[Avira]I felt a presence in the room once I peeled my eyes open. The room was dark which was strange because I remembered leaving the lights on before going to bed last night. I knew where I was, and remembered just how I got here, alright, so it could not be my mind playing games with me, as I wa
[Avira]The stories I have heard about bandits, the horrible, terrible things they did to their preys, all of the stories I have been told about them directly or through eavesdropping came back to me in a rush. Including the stories I had considered too brutal, and cast off as lies. They all seemed
