When The Moon Remembers 191: 365 Days Later
EpilogueElara Moonstone "Why is he crying again?" Luca asked as he walked into the room, his face filled with smiles. Our son quieted down when he heard his father's voice, and I scoffed as Luca walked around the room with an inflated sense of pride. "Don't look at me like that; it's not my fault that I am the favorite parent." He teased, and we both laughed. Everything felt calm for the first time in my life; I didn't have any sort of anxiety, and no one was after my life or position. George's body was laid to rest shortly after Lyra's death. Her body was thrown into the evil forest while her heart was somewhere no one would ever know. Luca had even refused to let me know the site, as he was the one who took the heart there to be buried. "How was the meeting?" I asked him, longing for the details. "She has been accepted into the pack, and she will remain there. We do have to go and see Antonio; he is freaking out about his wedding, although Pero told him to relax. I don't think
When The Moon Remembers 190: The Victory
Elara Moonstone Luca was with me before her body touched the ground; an eruption of victory chants filled the whole arena as people began to flood the space while bowing down to the king and me. "It's okay, Little Flower; she is gone now. Let me have it" he said to me gently and took the still beating heart from my grasp. "I remembered everything now, most importantly, I remembered how I loved you so much. You have always been the one for me" he said and hugged me, not minding my bloodied body and hands as he pressed my body into his as if he wanted us to merge into one. His lips found mine, and he kissed me passionately as if we were alone. I lost touch with reality as his kiss dulled my senses. The cracking of Pero's throat brought us all back to reality as I hid my shyness behind a smile. "You should address everyone, your majesty" Antonio told Luca, but Luca turned to me instead and nodded his head. As I stepped out of the group, the chanting came alive again, and it took Anto
When The Moon Remembers 189: The Death of the Cursed One
Elara Moonstone This was not going well, even though I knew that this was going to happen. I had hoped that the moon goddess would allow us to have a miracle until we find the third original wolf to fight with me. Still, Lyra was delivering blow after blow. Blood covered my whole face, and I thought about my life and how I have lived it. "You must have been foolish enough to think that you could win this duel? To think I thought you were going to be harder to take care of. George thought I would not find out that he was liaising with the enemy, but I must say that he was very convincing. This kingdom and everything in the world is mine. And I won't stop until it is all mine." She said between gritted teeth as she walked around me, glorying in her win. "Lyra, this was never about me winning. I didn't come here to win" I told her and spat out a mouthful of blood. "So what are you here for? To make a mockery of yourself and the legacy that your husband has struggled so hard to build
When The Moon Remembers 188: Breaking Free
King Luca The days have lost meaning in this place; all I do now is count morning, noon, and dusk every day. George has not come to me as we agreed, and I was totally in the dark about what was happening outside. The guards were fewer at my end, and food had become a luxury that I couldn't waste my time on anymore. Lyra's plan was becoming clear to me; she wanted me to die from starvation, as that would remove the idea that she had anything to do with it."My king." I heard a whisper from the thin slice of the walls that acted as a window. I moved close to the wall and was surprised to find Rowan there. He was back. "Rowan, what are you doing here? Have you gotten to the queen? Did you see her? Is she fine?" I asked him, hoping that my sacrifice had not all been in vain. "Yes, my king. But it didn't work; her wolf did not return, but that is the least bad news right now, Your Majesty. We have all failed to dissuade the queen from involving herself in the royal duel. The battle is t
When The Moon Remembers 187: The Final Act of Trust
LyraElara was even more stupid than I had thought that she could ever be; walking in there knowing that she was pregnant and without her wolf was her choosing the path of death. She knew that from the moment she agreed with herself to do this that she was ready to die, and even though she had come by herself, I would still glory in the fact that I knew that this would all work out. The elders had begun to show me more respect after she left, knowing that I was the new queen, and the supreme leader already told them that I would not take it easy on whoever was not on board with the program. I thought about how far I have come and how something that had seemed so unachievable was now only a few hours away from fruition. I shook my head and wanted to break into a run, but I held myself back as I made my way back to the bedroom, desperate to tell George about the pleasant turn of events. It would take so much burden off my shoulders, and I would not be doing anything wrong anymore; I wo
When The Moon Remembers 186: The Eternal Wolf
Elara Moonstone I stood there as they all looked at me like they couldn't believe their eyes. Even the guards couldn't move, and Lyra's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets. I walked confidently inside, supported by Antonio and a makeshift walking stick. One that Anna had thrown together for me. "What are you doing here, you crazy woman?" One of the district elders spoke, his voice filled with rage. "I am still the queen; you will not speak to me in such a manner, I said and walked to the other end of the table, sitting at the top, facing Lyra directly. Antonio stood behind me, his hands crossed at his back as he bared his teeth at anyone who looked at me for too long. "What are you looking for?" Lyra asked me, her voice sending ripples of fear down my spine. "I have come to take what is mine. You know you are nothing but a mere impostor" I told her, and she clutched the edge of the table to control her rage. "How dare you?" She snapped at me, but I didn'

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 o

King LucaThe nerve of her to think that she would go back to that place. I couldn't even understand why she wanted to go back because of a mere book, but my mind was already made up. I knew she still had feelings for Rowan, and that thought alone made my blood boil. If she were so desperate to be

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 t

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 t
