Elara Moonstone

George and Maera had decided to get married the weekend after I was informed. She was happy and glowing, making me wonder what the fuss was all about. Plans were in earnest, and the king spared no cost in ensuring that it was a special occasion. I had totally forgotten about the woes of my life until the morning of the wedding day, when I had simply gone to take a stroll in the garden.

"Women of low class will always think that the best way to get a man is to trap him with her private part" I heard the croaky voice of Caroline from the lake just beside the garden.

"Isn't it better than the mistress who can find her place in the world no matter how hard she tries?" I fired back at her, even though my tone was cool. Her eyes blazed at me, but she had started it, and I would not let her get away with insulting Maera.

"I hope you do not have the same plans for the King. He doesn't like conniving women; he likes naive virgins that he can conquer" she said, and that pique

    Elara MoonstoneThroughout the night, I struggled to sleep. When it was almost dawn, Luca got back into the bedroom and got on the bed, pulling me close. I nestled closer to him, making sure to bask in the warmth that he was offering. The next time I opened my eyes, it was noon, and there was no one else in the room. I could still scent the faint smell of Luca in the room. I closed my eyes and tried to take it in as much as I could. There was a note on the bedside that had a dress beside it. I took the note, a smile immediately appearing on my face as I read the first few words. He was so intentional, and this was the first thing he was doing; yet, I felt as though I was home. Somewhere safe, and I didn't have to be scared of anything at all. “Wear this; if it looks as good as I imagine, I'll help you take it off. Meet me in my study when you wake up” his note simply read. I hurried to the bathroom to clean up, and soon enough the blood-red silk slid over my shoulders to cover my

    Elara MoonstoneWhen I regained consciousness, my head had a low thud in it. I struggled to stay conscious, fighting back a wave of dizziness that hit me. I closed my eyes to block out the blinding light, the memory of what had sent me into shock filtering into my mind. I opened my eyes immediately and held my head as I struggled to sit down. A sharp pain passed through my whole body, running down my spine. "She is fine. You need more rest. The doctor said your blood pressure was over the roof" Luca's calm voice came to me, immediately soothing my wolf in a way that I didn't expect. "Where is she? I want to see her with my eyes" I said, but he shook his head. "Don't be stubborn. She is fine. You will see her soon" he simply said, returning to quiet. I didn't know what else to say. I knew he would not let me go out now that he had said that I shouldn't be stubborn. Instead of being upset that he had denied my request, I felt the strong feeling of needing him close to me. Not to eve

    Elara MoonstoneMaera came to me the next morning, stirring me up from the weird dream that I was having. I was with people who were worshipping me, even though the dream had not been clear. “Good morning Elara” she said calmly, her voice cold. “What happened to you?” I asked as I jumped out of the bed, tying my robe around my body as I hurried to her. “Nothing. I just wanted you to take a walk with me in the garden. The king came when he was leaving for a pack business with George. That's how I knew you would be alone” she said as I quickly held her and led her to the balcony to get some air. “Stay here a while. Let me quickly go and prepare” I said as she weakly nodded her head. I knew something was bothering her mind. She didn't look like she had just come for a walk. I was hell-bent on helping her today anyway that I could. “I'm ready” I told her a few minutes later before we made our way out of the chambers. On the way, I met Caroline; she had a mean smirk on her face. It w

    Elara Moonstone"I want you to find whoever has been in the morgue in the last hour," Luca ordered as he stormed back into the room, anger seething from him. Maera and George had long retired to their chambers, their hearts aching but still supportive of each other. My heart was filled with worry as I thought of anyone who would be capable of doing such to them because of me. The hatred must be really deep, and I was obviously in a lot of danger. "How dare they threaten you? That is an insult to my name. Do they not have any regard for me at all?" Luca thundered, taking a swig out of the bottle. "We will find the person. We just need to go through the CCTV footage" I said calmly, even though nothing going on inside me was calm. "And when I get my hands on them, I will skin them alive and feed them to the vultures in the forest." He said it, and I knew he meant every word of it. It made me feel secure that someone else cared about me so much, and he was willing to go to any length

    Elara MoonstoneThe next few days that followed were tense; everyone had a serious look when they moved around the palace. We all felt the great loss for George and Maera; the maid who served our drinks that day has been nowhere to be found. "What are you thinking about?" Luca asked me as his hands wrapped loosely around my waist. It was crazy how small I was compared to him in sheer size, but even that wasn't enough to quell the need for vengeance. "Do you have any intel on where the maid would have gone to?" I asked him as I moved away from him to prevent him from distracting me again. "Yes. My men are on their way back to us as we speak." He said, and just as if on cue, George busted into the room looking very disheveled. "Apologies, the men are back, your highness" he said in one breath. His eyes were hollow, and they carried the weight of the lack of sleep. "Alright. Go and wait for me. I will be joining you now" Luca addressed him as he turned to me, while George nearly bol

    Elara Moonstone"There's no way that I would kill my baby in any way! That was my first baby; I could never have hurt my baby" Maera cried as my heart broke for her. The Doctor had long left, and now, we were left alone with the heaviness in our hearts. George was drinking with Luca at his office, but I knew that was the only thing stopping him from bawling his eyes out. "Believe me, someone did this to me" she cried. "I do, I really do. But who could have done such a thing? Not everyone even knew that you were pregnant" I mentioned as my head began to work overtime. Something seemed fishy about all this, seeing that she was so convinced. "Hey hey, rest Maera" I said to her as I gave her the pill that the doctor had prescribed. She took them, even though the aura of sadness had enveloped her. "I don't want anyone to hurt my baby" she cried, the effect of the sedative beginning to take place. "We will get to the bottom of this; I will make sure you get justice for the loss that y
