The Lust Cursed Luna 32. Alastair
Alastair We were about to begin with breakfast and my frustration for the earlier event was stifling deliberately until a knock on the door interrupted us. Fuck it. I heard Chelsea sigh in relief, or ease or whatever when I walked toward the door and opened it. A maid, who probably had run here, bowed to me. “Your Highness. Luna is calling everyone to join the breakfast.” The vein across my temple twitched as I bit back a curse. It would be an upright lie if I say I didn't expect it. Although this little unfortunate maid had no faults, I wanted to let my anger burst and show her hell just because of ruining the moment. I didn't. Instead, remained calm and nodded and gestured at the woman who sat on the couch. “Don’t move these foods until she touches at least ten items and tries at least five of them.” “She doesn't need to waste time here. I will finish—” Chelsea began to whine from behind only to confirm my doubts of her leaving the room once I leave. I spun around and tilted
The Lust Cursed Luna 33. Alastair
Alastair I cleared both my mind and throat the moment I entered the dining room. My mother, my uncle Mr. Valek, his sixth or probably seventh wife Mrs. Giana, and Reagan were already there. Reagan ignored my presence just how I ignored his even though I was still in the urge to cut his balls off for touching her. “Alastair.” My uncle came forward to pull me into an embrace but I had to stop him by grabbing his hand and shaking it fiercely without offering the greeting he wished for. He wasn't taken aback at all. He expected it. Grinning, he said. “Oh, right. You don't hug.” And mom said he was sick. “And it's amazing that you forget it every time.” I retorted with a straight face, my voice as cold as ice. After letting go of his hand, I turned to Mrs. Giana. Taking her hand, I kissed the tip of it welcoming a smirk to my lips. “I am so glad that you make it with Mr. Valek till this fourth meeting.” It was surprising since most of his wives don't last for the fourth meeting. Eith

Alastair “Stressed?” Rhett queried. After breakfast, he suggested getting a drink in the cellar. We were taking the elevator to the underground where it was built. “Stressed!” As the lift doors parted, I reiterated his utterance and we strode forth into the cellar. Until a while ago, the conversation had been about him, and flame falls. I was curious if he had a little chance against his brother. He did, yet he refused to make an attempt. And so, after all that had transpired, the subject of his choosing was now directed towards me with a sharpened focus. Since Alice divulged her scheme to guide the slave to that forbidden graveyard, I decided to be reticent and that must have bothered him. “Is it even worth my redundant thoughts?” I queried. Neither of us was under any illusion that it was so. Alice had been prepared for the battle against me for ages. Her heart was consumed with a fierce determination to claim the throne, to seize the position of authority, and to wield the po

Chelsea Throughout the entire time, I had been compelling myself to taste a few of the opulent foods adorning the table. It was not like I hated them. The core of my unease lay in the persistent gaze of the maid named Shopia. Her unwavering scrutiny had become an incessant presence, one that refused to be shaken off. I requested her to join me for breakfast. She refrained from laying a finger upon anything, for she fears the disapproval it would surely elicit from Alastair. I encouraged her to sit down. She said the same thing. Really, everyone was scared to death by that man. I didn't pressurise her. I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. But she was doing it to me instead. Her gaze, with its luminous brown irises, remained unwaveringly fixed upon the sensitive curve of my neck. Perhaps it was the allure of my neck.Not being able to take it anymore, I ran a hand on my neck to distract her and cleared my throat. “You are not into women, are you?” Our eyes locked, a silent co
The Lust Cursed Luna 36. Alastair
Alastair “What's yours?” What's mine? Why was I fighting? Why was I not giving up? Why was I devoting my entire life just to rule this kingdom? His inquiry indeed provoked every bone that comprised my skull. I had the answer, yet I had no idea if it was reasonable enough or not. For me it was. To be exact, it was more valid than anything I had ever known but for others, it might not be. “A promise.” I spoke. “A promise?” he asked. I nodded. “I am not sure what—” Rhett and I halted our conversation, our ears pricked up to the noise that was rapidly escalating above us in the ceiling. Someone was pacing erratically on the first floor, her voice echoing through the dining hall situated directly overhead of our position in the cellar. "Shut the fuck up," she spat at someone else with a venomous tone. Both of us, Rhett and I, were perplexed since the feminine tone was strikingly familiar. “I told you to shut up.” Another warning was issued by the voice. “Lara?” Beside me, Rhett

ChelseaHis gaze had bored into mine, then dropped to scan my lips. The firm line of his mouth gradually set loose as his dark eyes screamed the power of his existence that would be able to devour my little parts of body wholly.However, Instead of letting this temptation consume me, I cleared my throat. “May I leave, Your Highness?” I was hellbent on leaving this hellhole. But he flung my wish to the waste with a shake of his head. Then he approached me, his slow steps closing the distance between us.Beside me, Princess Lara scowled. She showed no shame in unraveling the mask of envy she wore. If I were in her place, I would have been dead embarrassed.“No.” He said.But of course, I didn't give a damn about his opinion. I suffered from enough just because of doing what he wanted me to do until now.“Thank you.” Displaying that much of my gratitude, I pulled the hem of my skirt and turned away to leave.“Chelsea.”I heard him calling my name and the gasps of the other two individuals

ChelseaThe night had fell. However Lilith was still not back. The guards failed to find her. There was no trace of her in any CCTV as if she just vanished into thin air. I wondered if it was Alastair who did it If he took her, what would he be doing with her? And if it's not him, it had to be Reagan. Both meant threats to her existence.I was in front of the bow room. Ms. Kyle was inside to deal with something. As much as loved following her, today I was eager to go back to my room. I was neither ready to face Alastair nor Princess Lara. She hadn't left yet.

But lately, I discovered that I just couldn't help it. He was always in my mind.Taking a deep breath, I tried to clear my messed up mind. But all of a sudden, a scent emanated from my body, triggering my nasal passages. I had no idea if it was good or bad. I couldn't smell it

ChelseaKai led me into the vast hall and showed me the portraits of former royalties that adorned the walls.Alastair's father had died a long time ago. Not only his father but also all the relatives from his father's side. The underlying reasons were known to none. There was a rumor that they went to war with vampires and never came back.However, when it happened, Alastair was only seventeen years old, and because there was no one from his side to ascend the throne, the Queen was forced to take up the role. “It's dramatic, right?” Kai said as he directed me through the Palace's art gallery.It was tremendous in size and was extremely shiny. The walls were covered in a variety of paintings and sketches. Kai said most of the arts belong to Reagan.The level of perfection that his artworks carried stunned me. Every single line and color was executed with such great precision. I discovered a bookcase in one of the room's nooks that contained a jumbled assortment of papers stacked insid
