Elira

The noise of the crowd was deafening, but it felt miles away from me. We arrived at the central plaza for the commissioning of the new royal building, and the atmosphere was thick with tension.

Leon climbed out of the car first, ignoring my hand. He turned right back around to offer his arm to Nyra, who stepped out looking radiant in a shimmering pale blue gown.

I had to pull myself out of the vehicle alone, smoothing down my white silk dress. The whispers started the moment my feet hit t

  • The Alpha Luna’s True Mate    Chapter Twenty-One: The Murder

    Elira It turned out the delegate had forced himself on the young man's sister, forcing her to become his third wife. The poor girl had no choice, and her family had to sit back and watch her life get ruined by a powerful man. The younger man had wanted to get revenge on the delegate for a very long time, and he finally saw his chance at the festival. He didn't care about the politics or the pack rules; he just wanted the monster dead. He just wanted to end the life of his sister's monster. He wanted her free. I couldn't even blame the kid for what he did, honestly. If someone did that to my family, I would probably try to slip poison into their food too. The delegates left the following day, packing their bags before the sun was fully up. They didn't want to be anywhere near our pack after almost losing one of their own leaders to a rogue servant. The entire courtyard was empty by noon, leaving behind a sticky mess of spilled wine and ruined decorations. The heavy silence in the

    Elira The pack's healer worked fast under the pressure of a hundred staring eyes. She jammed a thick vial down the choking man's throat, forcing him to swallow the bitter antidote. Within seconds, the delegate violently coughed, spitting up black fluid as the poison flushed right out of his system. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding, staring down at his pale face. It hit me then, a sudden realization that made my stomach drop into my shoes. This was the same northern delegate I had seen having that nasty argument with his underling behind the tents. Nyra didn't waste any time, stepping out from behind Leon with her arms crossed over her chest. Her eyes darted around the panicked crowd before landing on the servant tables. "The kitchen staff should be held responsible for this mess," Nyra announced, her voice rising above the murmurs of the crowd. "They are clearly working alongside whoever the real mastermind is behind this attack." She didn't look at me when sh

  • The Alpha Luna’s True Mate    Chapter Nineteen: The Dying Man

    Elira Even though I wanted to lock myself inside my room for the rest of the night, it was just the dinner that was over. The night was still young and a lot had to be done. Just not by me. The Red Moon festival was supposed to be my night. Instead, I stood on the sidelines while Nyra barked orders at the decorators and tasted the sauces. She handled everything, from the placement of the crimson banners to the final garnish on the platters. It was pathetic how hard she was trying to look the part. Around the main courtyard, the council members nodded in approval as they watched her flutter about. They knew what was happening here. They always knew. They looked right past me, their eyes sliding over to Nyra with silent agreement because they knew she was Leon's true mate. One of the visiting delegates from the northern territory walked up to Leon, his eyebrows pulled together in a tight frown. I stepped closer, pretending to adjust my sleeves just to hear what they were saying.

  • The Alpha Luna’s True Mate    Chapter Eighteen: The Slip-up

    Elira I walked out of the dining hall with my spine straight and my head held high, but the second the doors shut behind me, my posture collapsed. The strong front I had held in the dining room that evening was nothing but a mask, a cheap shield to keep the vultures from seeing how badly I was bleeding inside. I was so tired of the constant back and forth between myself and Nyra. It was an endless, exhausting cycle of traps, tears, and public humiliation that was slowly grinding my spirit down into dust. I leaned my back against the cold stone wall of the empty corridor, closing my eyes tightly as a heavy, suffocating wave of misery pressed down on my chest. I honestly wished the Moon Goddess would just hand over the chosen role of Luna to Nyra already, even if doing that would hurt me severely and strip away the only identity I had left. Anything had to be better than this daily, agonizing pain I had to go through watching Leon take Nyra's side every single time anything happen

  • The Alpha Luna’s True Mate    Chapter Seventeen: The Betrayal

    Elira My breath hitched in my throat as I waited for Leon to speak, my hands clenching into tight balls under the mahogany table. Every single elder in the council room was staring at the king, waiting to see if he would really strip my title away and hand it to his mistress. Leon slowly lowered his hands from his temples, his blue eyes scanning the faces of the greedy nobles before finally landing on Lord Marcus. "The motion is dismissed," Leon surprises me by saying, his voice flat and final. "We're not rewriting the ancient laws of succession today, Marcus. Drop the subject and move to the next item on the agenda." I felt a wave of relief wash over me, my shoulders dropping as I stared at my husband in total disbelief. From across the table, Nyra's facial expression darkened considerably, her glossy lips twisting into a hideous, bitter scowl before she quickly wiped it away. Despite Leon's unchanging cold stares and the heavy distance between us, hope grew deep within my ches

  • The Alpha Luna’s True Mate    Chapter Sixteen: The Hidden Plot

    Elira I didn't wait around to see how Leon would react to his brother's words. I spun on my heel and walked away from the dining room, my heels clicking loudly against the marble floors as I practically sprinted down the hallway. My body was trembling all over, shaken by how fast everything had fallen apart tonight. I was sick to my stomach thinking about how quick Leon had been to declare me a thief in front of the entire pack council. I had been nothing but loyal to him for years, protecting his secrets and running his kingdom while he chased his vices. Yet the very second a random maid dropped a box in my room, he was ready to lock me in a dungeon without a single shred of hesitation. The sound of heavy footsteps echoed behind me in the empty corridor, making me slow my pace slightly. I didn't even have to look back to know who it was. Ares. He didn't say anything to me, keeping a respectful distance of a few feet, but his presence was actually comforting and calming. His d
