Leonidas POV

I have not held a woman’s hand since the day my mother died. I had avoided the action because it reminded me of what I lost. Holding hands with Alora brought back a part of me I didn’t know was missing. I could not protect my mother, but I will protect Alora until my dying breath. Her hand feels so delicate in mine, and a possessiveness washes over me. As we wind through the castle halls, I know I will kill anyone who tries to hurt her again.

I open the door to the dining room and Evanora is sitting in her usual seat. The table has been cleared, but she is waiting for me. “You will need a new Beta.”

“Not now,” I snap at her.

“Fine,” she hisses as she gets to her feet. “Don’t forget the stone.”

As she walks past Alora, Evanora flips her hair off her shoulder to get a better view of the mark on Alora’s neck. She looks pleased with herself, but she doesn’t comment on it.

Leading Alora through the dining room, I take her straight to the kitchens. The Ome

  • Sleeping Luna and the Lycan King   Chapter 59: Morvathuun

    Sabrina POV I shudder as I walk through what used to be a vibrant forest. Now, the trees are mangled and tortured. Their bark crumbles beneath my hands. Not even the rain dares to enter Morvathuun. The wind is so dry it feels like it cuts the skin, and dust swirls around my feet. I pull my robe up to protect my face and keep my eyes on the ground. I don’t want to stray from the path. I have made that mistake once before, and I have the scars that serve as a painful reminder. Holding my lantern in front of me. I steady my breaths. I hate it here, though I would never admit it out loud. The lack of sunlight puts me on edge. I am jumpy and scared, but I hide it well. I keep my cabin on the edge of the Dead Forest steeped in light. It keeps the monsters that hide in shadows away. “There she is,” a voice whispers from the trees. “I have missed you.” I tuck my head farther into my robe and plug my fingers into my ears, but it doesn’t drown out the whispers. My eyes make the

  • Sleeping Luna and the Lycan King   Chapter 58: Heat

    Leonidas POVI don't know what has gotten into Alora. Her mouth and hands are everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but she has gotten much more aggressive since she marked me.Her body is like fire under my fingers, and something feels off. I pull her away from my lips and try to look her over, but she is feral. Her fingers are clawing at my shirt, trying to rip it off. "Alora," I whisper. "This goes deeper than me speaking a lost language. What has gotten into you?"She squirms under my gaze, and a possessive snarl rises in her throat. Her eyes are looking over my shoulder. I glance behind me and see Ivy."Mine," Alora growls."What is wrong with you?" I laugh. "Ivy is mated."Alora wraps her arms around me and continues to growl in Ivy's direction. I expect Ivy to try to turn and leave, but apparently, she has a death wish. She rounds the desk and lays a hand on Arora's forehead.Alora snaps her teeth at Ivy, and I snort with laughter. She is acting like a pissed

  • Sleeping Luna and the Lycan King   Chapter 57: Lost Languages

    Alora POVMy head is buried in several books that are scattered along the desk in the Fae Castle. I promised Leonidas I would only stay for a day, but that day has turned into two, maybe three. I have barely left this library.“We should get back to the veil,” Bruno shuffles. “Leonidas was expecting us a week ago.” I glance up from the book I am reading. “It hasn’t been a week.” “It has,” Bruno informs me. I slam the book shut. “It hasn’t. Leonidas would have come for me by now.” Bruno looks away from me, like he always does when he is hiding something. “What do you know?” “Nothing,” he mutters. “By the Goddess, you are a terrible liar,” I roll my eyes. “You know I can just look into your mind and find out what I want to know.” “But you won’t,” he grins. “You respect your power and our friendship too much to do that.” He’s right. “Fine. Don’t tell me.” I go back to my reading and pretend like I don’t care what secrets he is keeping from me. The passage that I am cu

  • Sleeping Luna and the Lycan King   Chapter 56: The Dark Realm

    Alora POVThe snow is melting on the field in front of the cabin. Blades of grass are starting to sprout from the ground, and the trees are budding. Spring has finally come to the Lycan Realm, but I find joy in it like everyone else. Nightmares plague my nights, and I think they are premonitions.I step on the porch, and it creaks under my weight. I should send someone out here to help Kaia and Elaine fix the place up, but then that would be admitting that I know they are here. I have spent the last six months dodging that question from Leonidas.He barely lets me out of his sight. We haven’t found Alfred or Sabrina. I can only assume they have made their way through the Lycan Realm and are now in Morvathuun. However, I haven’t spoken that thought to Leonidas. To even speak the name of the eternally dark realm is forbidden. It is said that even Hecate refuses to set foot in Morvathuun. I try to push the door open, but it doesn’t budge. Elaine must have warded it again. So

  • Sleeping Luna and the Lycan King   Chapter 55: Rising Up

    Alora POVI am lounging on a couch in one of the many Fae Castle drawing rooms, and Leonidas is rubbing my feet. It has been hours since we have heard from Ivy or Elric. The lower levels of the castle aren’t flooded, so I don’t think she has killed him, but I can’t be so sure. I have only known her for a short time, but she seems terrifying. “What is there to do around here?” Leonidas growls. “I’ve got something you can do,” I snort and wiggle my eyebrows at him. “What has happened to you?” He smiles. “You used to be different.” “Did I?” I smirk.He drops my foot off his lap and puts my other foot behind him. With skill, he spreads my legs and crawls up my body. “I am not complaining. I like horny Alora,” he says, running his hand up my leg. “I think we should move this party upstairs.” I throw my arms behind me dramatically. “But I am too tired to move.” He pins my hips to the couch and bunches my skirt around my knees. “My Queen,” he whispers against my ear. “If I

  • Sleeping Luna and the Lycan King   Chapter 54: Stranger

    Kaia POVI rush back to our room with Anila in my arms. “Elaine,” I shout. “We have to go.” Setting Anila in her cot, I begin to toss my clothes into the nearest bag I can find. Anila is watching me intently. Sometimes the way her milky eyes follow me is unnerving. Her eyes are the only thing that alludes to her real age. I forget that despite her human age, she is older than Elaine and I combined. I turn my back on her and focus on the rest of the room. “Elaine,” I shout. “Where are you?” Still, she doesn’t reply. It isn’t like her to roam about the castle. She doesn’t like to mingle. I peek my head into the adjoining bathroom and she isn’t there either. I am beginning to feel a pit in the bottom of my stomach. Someone knocks on the door, and a Fae woman stands just outside. There is a letter in her hands, and my heart drops. I already know it is from Elaine. “You can come in,” I whisper.She steps inside, but she doesn’t look at me. Her eyes are focused on Anil

  • Sleeping Luna and the Lycan King   Chapter 53: Family Drama

    Alora POVThe only sound in the dining room is the clinking of silverware against the plates. Leonidas is tearing apart his meat with his hands, glaring at Naridah from across the table. Ivy is refusing to sit beside Elric, and he is mumbling curse words under his breath. Vesper is blissfully unaware of what is happening around him. He is just happy to have his mate by his side. Naridah begins humming a song as she chews. Leonidas tenses beside me. I could sift through her memories for hours, but there will never be enough evidence for him to trust her. “Naridah,” I gain her attention. She looks up from her plate and smiles. “Please call me Nari.” “Nari,” I continue. “I think your humming makes my mate uncomfortable.” She cuts her eyes at Leonidas and presses her lips together in a hard line. “Fine.” The room is silent once again. This is possibly the most awkward family dinner since the creation of the Two Realms. Ivy is desperate to fill the silence. “Are mates com

  • Sleeping Luna and the Lycan King   Chapter 52: Naridah

    Alora POV“It has never been done before,” Ivy snaps at me. “Your place is here among the Fae.” I shake my head. “My place is with all the creatures. I think that is why Morgan chose me. So I would unite the Two Realms.” Ivy turns to Elric. “Will you talk some sense into them?” Elric flushes bright red and looks down at the massive table between us. I can tell he has never told Ivy “no” a day in her life, and I don’t think he is about to start now. But he doesn’t say anything. All of the lycans have gone back to the Lycan Realm, and we are waiting for Vesper to return. It feels like it is Leonidas and I against the world. Ivy and a few Fae council members are being so stubborn. They won’t listen to reason. When Elric doesn’t speak up, water begins to drip from Ivy’s fingertips. She is about two minutes from losing her temper and drowning us all. “You can’t take up residence in the Lycan Realm. We need a Queen.” “I know you do,” I say gently. “I am planning on stayi

  • Sleeping Luna and the Lycan King   Chapter 51: Creature Shifter

    Alora POVLeonidas pauses, looking down on me. There is an eagerness in his gaze, but also concern. My magic reaches for his feelings without my permission. It latches onto his emotions, and it is suffocating. They are intense, and tears sting my eyes. I force my magic away and reach for him. “I am not made of glass,” I assure him. “You won’t break me.” He joins me on the bed, carefully positioning himself between my legs. His fingers swipe my hair out of my eyes, and he sighs. “You look so fragile.”“I am not,” I say. Wrapping my leg around him, I force him to roll onto his back. His hands rest lightly on my hips as I straddle him. Moving my body slowly, I run my core over the length of his harden cock, and he tightens his grip. I moan in satisfaction and continue to tease us both. A growl rumbles in his chest, and he flexes his fingers on my hips. I chuckle, and he glares at me. “What is so funny?”“Do you want to be inside me?” I smile. He nods with a silly grin
