LOGINElara MoonstoneThe room was well-lit, and Maera stayed with me. Outside was buzzing quietly with activities as George barked orders to the guards, ensuring that all the perimeters of the palace were well guarded. He came in, and soon, they both bade me goodnight and left. The doctor had come in to bandage the injury for me. Even though I had lost a lot of blood, I was relatively strong and recovering faster than I imagined I would. There was an unsettled feeling in my heart as I sat by the window, waiting for Luca to return. About thirty minutes to midnight, I held my breath as the door slowly opened and Luca's intimidating aura floated to me. I didn't say anything, simply turned and faced him. He looked bloody, and the night light caught him, giving him an ethereal look. “I am going to touch you tonight” he announced as he began to remove his clothes. My heart missed some beats as I stood up and began backing away from him. He didn't stop moving towards me until my back was agai
LucaSomeone has bitten off more than they can chew, it was becoming more evident. Caroline knew more than she was letting on, and her return didn't seem as simple as it had been. A lot had happened since she arrived here in the pack, and now was the time to put an end to all of it. George led us through a narrow bush path, and soon we entered my secret way into the palace. “Take the Queen to her chambers and make sure that she is heavily guarded. I am going to the cell; Caroline is there. I want to have a word with her” I said, planting a dry kiss on Elara's cheeks. “Be careful” she said, shyly avoiding my eyes. I touched her cheeks and walked away, leaving her and George in the dark. She was still bleeding, and I needed her to get medical attention as soon as we could. I made my way carefully through the darkness to the cells, taking care not to alert anyone until I was sure of what was going on. The guards were on alert, and nothing seemed amiss; yet, I had a strong feeling that
Elara MoonstoneThe night was different; my heart was full of joy at the end of our date. He has been so good and great that I was laughing heartily at his jokes by the end of the night. When it was already dark and he had not made any move for us to leave, I decided to ask him when we were going to leave. “When are we leaving here?” I asked him. He looked at me, scrunching up an eyebrow. “Are you tired already, my queen?" He asked me, but I shook my head. “Of course not, it's just late, and I thought you would want us to return to the palace,” I explained. “We won't be going back to the palace today; I want to show you something else in the skies. We have to be out here for you to see it” he said and grabbed me, pulling me close to him. “Alright. Tell me about your childhood, Luca.” I said and settled in between his huge body, relying on his steady heartbeat and the warmth of his heart. “Well, it was pretty simple” he started, which made me laugh because I knew my childhood was
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
