The Mute Luna Bride At what cost?
ELORA I didn’t know what to expect when Kael called for the council to gather, and requested that I be a part of it. My heart had been pounding since sunrise. It didn’t help that Selene had spent the morning giving me the kind of looks you only reserve for a bug she can squash with her boots. I stood behind Kael’s right shoulder, where his scent was strongest, inhaling the scent of cedarwood, steel, and something warm…like earth. He hadn’t touched me since the night at the bath house, but the bond between us was still so strong and so fierce, I could feel his heartbeat through the air. It was a strange comfort. It didn’t give me the unnerving shivers I felt whenever I was close to…you know who. When the last of the council members entered the room—warriors, advisors, and the betas of nearby clans—Kael stood from the obsidian throne. He didn’t even glance at Selene, who sat stiff and proud at his left. She was dressed in a gleaming silver armor befitting for the grand commander
The Mute Luna Bride Rage like fire
RYKER The fire in my chest wouldn’t stop.It was like I’d swallowed the sun, and now it burned from the inside out, ripping through my lungs, searing into my groin…to my fucking crotch! It clawed at every damned inch of my skin until I couldn’t tell where my flesh ended and my madness began.I threw off the woolen blankets. I was sweat-soaked and suffocating. My hands pressed against my chest as I gasped, needing air. My right hand ran down the length of my hair as I shook my head, trying to fight the face…the one face that was the object of the painful feeling in my chest, the heat in my body, the swelling of my crotch. Elora.Her name alone made the pain worse.I stumbled from my bed, half-wild, half-naked. It tore me into pieces how I could barely think of anything but her. I had tried to ignore it since my encounter with Kiara. I told myself that the Stormrider princess would not come between me and my people, but whenever I dared to close my eyes, I saw her again…dancing in t
The Mute Luna Bride Burn the world to the ground
KAEL I got word that she had woken up just before dawn.I was in the hallway outside her quarters when her maid ran out, saying she was awake and headed to the bathhouse. I had ordered her to tell me immediately Elora was awake and strong enough to move. That was, of course, after I placed four of my strongest guards on rotation at her door. I didn’t hesitate, not even for a second. I just allowed my feet carry me to the woman who had plagued my dreams. Did I say I only began to sleep better after she had returned? Because that was the truth. The bathhouse was warm and misted with lavender-scented steam. She loved the scent so much, and I couldn’t blame her. It was so good on her. I pushed open the carved wooden doors quietly. It wouldn’t hurt if I just did a little check in, right? Nope. Absolutely not. It was only a matter of time before I won her heart and made her my Luna. Elora’s back was turned toward me, her tanned skin glowing under the moonlight that filtered through t
The Mute Luna Bride Veil of Nightshade
KAEL Thank the goddess I moved when I felt it. If I had waited, even for another second…I shook my head vehemently, forcing the thought behind me as the guards carried Elora’s unconscious into a passing carriage they had stopped. My fingers continued to vibrate at my sides. My right leg wouldn’t stop tapping against the gravel, no matter how much I wanted it to. I thought back to how it had all happened, the way our mate bond had saved her. I had been working in the study, signing a new set of land purchase approval documents I had been presented with when the ink on the page slowly blurred as my vision sharpened. I hadn’t understood why my gaze continued flicking to the window like a hound catching the scent of danger. Almost like I had been waiting for something to happen. The leather-bound book I’d been writing in slipped from my fingers and landed on the rug with a quiet thud. I didn’t pick it up. It felt extremely odd, that all I could hear was the way my wolf let out a
The Mute Luna Bride Another attack
ELORA A few minutes later, I requested a ride into the city through the handmaid Kael had assigned for me. Her name was Tamika. She was a small, slender, and doe eyed woman. In her late twenties, Kael had said. Camilla had been married off while I was gone, and had asked her mother to come live with her while I was gone. It had hurt me to know that I couldn't be there for what would have definitely been the happiest day of my friend’s life. We had discussed weddings time and time again as children. I was happy she had at least gotten the happy ending she so desired. “We cannot do that, lady Tamika.” One of the guards said. “We have been given orders to make sure that she doesn’t leave the palace alone.”Tamika turned to look at me. “Would you like a guard to accompany you?”I raised my hands to sign. “That would sort of defeat the purpose of solitude, wouldn’t it?”She sucked in a deep breath and parted her lips to speak, but I cut in before she could. “I could use a rider. O
The Mute Luna Bride Destiny
ELORA The night visions had become a part of my daily night routines. I had thought that if it happened long enough, I'd get used to it. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Every night was still as jarring as the last.And it always started with the fire. The raging, hungry ones, ready to take everything and anything in its path. It swallowed the curtains, the ceiling, the cradle where a little baby me lay in. The heat curled around my skin like a noose around my neck. Yet, I couldn’t scream, no matter how much I needed to. I never could. My voice stayed trapped behind my teeth as the smoke clawed into my lungs and the scent of burning lavender—her perfume—choked the room.There, I found my mother. Lady Araya Valewind. She stood in the center of the flames with wide eyes. Tears rushed down her cheeks as her mouth moved, forming silent words I couldn’t hear. “My silver princess,” those three words, in that particular order, echoed in my ears again and again. She reached for me,
The Mute Luna Bride You’re beautiful
ELORA It took me four days to fully recover, and true to Kael’s words, he threw a party for me. I was shocked he was able to. What did he tell them? My father had kept me locked up in a tower after my mother died. And when he found out I couldn’t speak, he kept me a secret to make sure no one knew I was alive. What would he tell the people that came? That I was his daughter? Where had I been all this while? Apparently, they both managed to answer all the questions, because the banquet hall was packed to the brim. The air shimmered with music and candlelight. So many lavender scented candles. Laughter rolled through the hall like a tide. It was warm and bright, washing over the sea of polished silverware, silk gowns, and flashing jewels.The true glory of the royals. It was always a beautiful sight to see so many powerful people gathered together. I stood at the edge of it all, wrapped in a deep green dress Kael had picked out, my dark curls were pinned with tiny emeralds that
The Mute Luna Bride Falling for the Stormrider princess
RYKER “You’re warriors for fuck’s sake! Fight like warriors! Your movements are sloppy, and fucking slow. Did you see what happened to us when those mercenaries arrived?” They were my people, my warriors, and I loved them, but they needed to have their morales risen. If not for Elora, we would have been slaughtered by our attackers. We were very few in number, and even fewer of us could hold our own in times of need. I opened the recruitment window once Elora was gone. We needed more warriors. If possible, every single soul in my pack had to know how to fight. Boys and girls, women and men alike. If anything ever happened to Odessa and she couldn’t hide them with her magic, I needed to be sure that we would still have a very good shot at surviving. The sun beat down on the training field like it was against us. But we didn’t relent. Come rain. Come sun. My soldiers would have to rage. It was the only way we could stand against our enemies. My shirt stuck to my back, soaked with
The Mute Luna Bride To hell with you
KAEL I walked into the bedroom I shared with my Luna and wife, Selene. Darius and I had just finished a conversation where he placed bets on how badly this could go. But I had hope. Hope that if anyone could understand and try to make the best out of this situation, it’ll be Selene. She understood me more than anyone else in the world, and she knew the importance of duty and honor. More so, she loved our people just as much as I loved them, and would give her life for them in a heartbeat.Yes, with what she did to the maid in the garden the other day, I can see why one wouldn’t believe she was kind. But she really was. She was just…having a bad day. I paced about our room and settled on the bed just as the bathroom door creaked open. Steam spilled into the room like mist rolling off a battlefield.Selene stepped out, wrapped in nothing but a towel and the confidence she always wore close to her chest, like a pendant.Her bright skin glistened from the bath. She looked good, stron
