KAEL.

Landon and I rushed out of the cave and trekked through the remainder of the forest that would lead us back to the arena. The moon was on the verge of setting, and if the first ray of sunlight reached the arena without us, I would be eliminated.

So we kept running, following the direction on the map.

We still had a long way to go when we spotted something on the ground. It was still far, and the area was still dark, but I could see it flinching. I reminded Landon to be careful as we approached it.

“Beta Andres!” Landon yelled, and we immediately ran toward him.

Color had already drained from the face of the Beta, and his face was turning purple.

Poison.

“What happened?” I asked as we crouched in front of him. I had totally forgotten that this man tricked and abandoned us.

His eyes were pooling with tears as he clutched my shirt. “The viper that bit me…”

He didn’t need to finish his words. We already understood what happened. I thought that the viper story was not real.

I know you're expecting the Guardian scene today, but it will come in the next chapter. This part is important for gaining a better understanding of King Essak. We will know more of his thoughts before the book ends. Also, if I can finish the next chapters (about the guardians), I will upload them tonight. If not, it'll be multiple chapters on Tuesday, as I don't want to cut the next part. Thank you for reading! ✨🦋👑⚔

  • THE FORGOTTEN LUNA   NEW BOOK: The Substitute Luna

    **This chapter/page is free, and you should not be paying any coins to read this author's note. **Hello, everyone! Thank you for waiting! The next book, The Substitute Luna, is now up on this App. 💚To those requesting additional epilogue/s for Kael and Adessa, I will surely write more if the inspiration strikes. Thank you for your continuous support. SHORT EXCERPT from The Substitute Luna:CHAPTER 01 - IRIS' POV.I used to have a wolf, but five days after I turned eighteen, I lost her. I still remember what happened as if it were just yesterday. On the night of my eighteenth birthday, I accompanied my half-sister to a festival. A chaos erupted, and we tried to run away. People were shouting, and then the stampede happened. We got separated, and the next thing I knew, I was in the middle of the swaying crowd, being pushed by everyone who wanted to get away from that place.I stumbled and gripped the arm that was nearest to me. I felt the spark travel all over my body, activating

    ADESSA.I stopped halfway through the altar, where my parents were waiting for me. Mom looked beautiful in her golden gown with black accents. Even without a title, she looked regal, and the love shining in her eyes was enough to make her stand out. I held on to my parents, and we began walking forward. A coy smile played on my lips as I began teasing my father. “Father, you are not allowed to cry.” No matter how he kept his face with a poker expression, his eyes betrayed his real emotions. “I have five sons, and never did I imagine I would one day walk a daughter to the altar.” He spoke in a hushed tone.“I made so many of your dreams come true, didn’t I?” I kept teasing him. It was the only way I could keep myself from crying.“Yes, you did. You and your mother did. And I’m grateful for that every day.”That left me speechless. I was told my father was not the one who shares his emotions and thoughts with anyone, but that was exactly what he was doing. Love indeed could change us

    ADESSA.I stood before the massive double door of the Royal Cathedral, waiting for it to open to welcome me inside the church, where Kael, my fated mate, waited for me. I couldn’t help the tears welling up in my eyes. We’d finally come to this. A wedding. And it was as grand as anyone could imagine. Our first wedding was simple. Only a few guests were invited, and all of them were related to Kael. I had no one on my side—no family, no friends. But this time, I had the presence of every important person in my life.My mother and father had already walked ahead and would wait for me halfway through the aisle. Lacey, my beautiful niece, was my flower girl. She walked alongside Landon, as she refused to walk down on her own during rehearsals. Gabe was our ring bearer. He was here with his grandmother, Erika, but his mother, Sasha, was not invited. I was glad that Erika didn’t question us when we asked for permission for her and Gabe to be part of our celebration. To be honest, I was

    ADESSA.He nodded, and he pointed to something behind me. I swiftly turned around and found myself looking at a wooden post with a wooden sign: ADESSA’S RIVER. “For some people who will come to visit here, this will be just another name to identify this beautiful place. But to me, where the sign stood was the exact place where I first saw you. I don’t want to forget about it even if decades have passed by.”I turned around again to face him, my tears trickling down my cheeks. “It’s beautiful…”“It is. But not as beautiful as the woman standing there and standing before me now.” “Kael…”“The day I asked you to marry me to save my ego, I thought I was doing more for you. I thought I was saving you from a hard life. I thought I was making sure you would never go hungry again. I didn’t know it was me that needed saving—not just from my dying heart, but from my life with no direction. Thank you for accepting my offer, Adessa. I haven’t thanked you enough for taking a risk on me. For givin

    ADESSA..“Are you sure that’s what you really want?” Kael asked me again after we disconnected the phone. It was my father on the other line, and I told him I wanted Miranda to be set free. But she had a condition to never step foot in Ironcrest again or anywhere near me and my family.I knew it was a big risk, but the weeks that she was incarcerated with days where no food was given to her, plus the lashes she got at the beginning, should be enough for her to learn her lesson. I knew I could give her more if I wanted to, and my father would not question it. But I had my reasons. It also didn’t mean that she could leave free forever, as I had requested someone to watch her. In a way, perhaps we would find Dexter, and we could have answers to the questions that have been hanging in the air regarding why he turned his back on his Alpha and the extent of his involvement with Miranda. Only the Goddess knew what the future held for all of us, but at the moment, I knew this was the right

    ADESSA. My tears fell as she approached me and handed me the flowers. Then she cupped my hands before she looked me straight in the eye. “We were saddened when we heard that you left the territory. We couldn’t understand why you and the Alpha parted ways when we thought you had a perfect life together…”I didn’t know many of them felt that way about us. I thought I was never wanted. But I couldn’t find my voice to ask more about it.“We are glad that despite being a princess, the Alpha was able to take you back. And I hope that you still want to be our Luna.”I couldn’t stop my tears from falling anymore, and despite the many things I wanted to say, I was at a loss for words. So I kept nodding my head. “Welcome home, Luna Adessa.”I snaked my arms around her and hugged her as I whispered. “I’m happy to be home.”I meant to say it to her alone, but the crowd heard it as they began chanting again, welcoming me home before applause rang out in the air once more. Soon, more females and
