THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Eleven
Aegis's POV"Just tell me how long," I whined.The gardener around us was doing something genuinely beautiful with the flowers and I was ignoring it to bother Noah.He swatted at me and I quickly stepped out of the way so he doesn't mess up my done up face and hair that took the maids no joke four hours to achieve."There's nothing to tell." He answered looking away.It's been two weeks of living in pure bliss in the palace with the man I loved. Today however was my coronation but I was hiding away in the gardens."Months," I announced. "It's been months. At minimum.""I don't know what you're referring to.""Noah.""Aegis.""The location sharing," I said. "The forehead kiss. The—""It was cold.""It was not cold.""It was a temperate evening with a slight—""He told you he'd make it so you couldn't walk," I said pleasantly. "In front of witnesses."The back of his neck turn red."That was a logistical statement," he said."About your legs."He stuttered and glanced away, "Ab...about
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Ten
Aegis's POVI lasted until eight in the morning.My dragon didn't say anything when I packed up from Dad's, travelled back to our planet and got in the car. She just settled deeper into my chest with smug warmth.Not a word, I told her as the royal gates came into view. I haven't said anything.You're thinking loudly.I'm just sitting here, she said, entirely too innocently.I got to his bedroom door, knocked and waited in silence for a moment before the door opened.He was in a shirt with no jacket looking as miserable as feIt.We stared at each other silently for a minute. My heart pounded hard in my chest. The desperate need to be in his arms pounded against my ears. "Are you going to let me in," I said, "or are we doing this in the hallway."He stepped back.I walked in and looked around. The balcony doors were open.He had been working — there were papers on the desk that had the look of things recently set down — but he led me past them without comment, out through the open
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Nine
Aegis's POV "Hello, Aegis." I swiveled around to the sound of the voice that jad been buried in my mind.Elijah looked exactly as I remembered.A sob caught in my throat as I saw the two people standing behind him. Cece and Evangeline.I made a sound I had no control over and crossed the meadow at a pace that had nothing dignified about it.Cece caught me first. She wrapped both arms around me and held on tightly while I cried into her hair. "I'm here," I managed.Evangeline's arms wrapped around both of us until it was all three of us tangled together in the middle of a meadow between worlds, and I was crying Elijah stood to the side and let us have it.He was standing a few feet away when I finally resurfaced, wiping my face with the back of my hand and laughing at myself for the crying."You look terrible," he said."You look dead," I said.He grinned and shrugged. "Fairs."We sat in the meadow with Cece's head on my arm. Evangeline pulled at the grass with absent focus.."I'm
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Eight
Aegis's POVThe tribunal deliberated for two hours. I sat in the temporary holding area off the main square and ate a sandwich Noah had produced from somewhere.Kira sat across from me, pretending to read something on her phone even though she hadn't scrolled in twenty minutes."You can just sit," I told her.She put the phone down. "How are you this calm." She shrieked."I'm not calm," I said. "I'm eating.""That's the same thing with you."I shook my head and took another bite. "It really isn't."She stared at me for a moment. "It's going to be fine.""I know.""The evidence was—""I know," I said again. "I built the evidence. I know what it is."She remained quiet until I finished the sandwich.The tribunal bell rang at the two hour mark exactly.We walked back out into the square and the noise shifted. The wolves were out for blood and they wanted it from the people who dared to murder their people.Langford stood up hurriedly clearing his throat, "In the matter of Beta Solice of
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Seven
Aegis's POV Beta Solice whimpered lying on the floor clutching his left leg while Jaxon the Royal Beta stood beside the king patting a silver gun by his side.The tribunal reconvened before Langford stood up and announced."The tribunal will hear from the former Luna Mara s a voluntary witness."Mara walked to the testimony position with careful, deliberate steps. She faced the tribunal, and then —"I'm here to say what I should have said years ago," she started. Her voice was smaller than mine but the speakers carried it cleanly. "Beta Solice and his wife noticed early that little Aegis was — different." She paused. "She was being drawn on. Regularly. In amounts that a child should never—" She stopped and restarted. "My husband put an end to it when he found out how far it had gone. She was nine at the time. He threatened consequences. It stopped. For a while." Her jaw tightened. "It started again when his attention was elsewhere. We found out again when she was twelve, half-dead
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Six
Aegis's POVThey used the square because the Royal Castle wasn't big enough.That was the first sign that this was going to be different from any proceeding this kingdom had seen in recent memory. By the time I arrived, every available surface was packed with people— the steps, the fountain edges, the low walls along the perimeter. The surrounding streets were packed with people watching on screens that had been set up at every major intersection in every territory.The stream was live.The kingdom was watching.I stood at the entrance to the square for exactly three seconds, took it all in, and walked forward.Beta Solice was already contained on the opposite side — seated between two of the king's men.Noah and Kira were in the front row of the public seating.The tribunal panel was seated at the elevated table — five council members, robed, arranged in the formal configuration of the old proceedings. And at the center, as was his right as king over any tribunal convened in his ter
