LOGINLyraElara 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
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'
Lyra"Damn those wretched fools!" I moaned in frustration as I marched to the room; this was the second meeting we were having, and they were insistent on some stupid customs that guided them. "What is wrong with you?" George asked me as soon as I stepped inside the room. He got up and made his way to me, leading me by the hand to sit at the edge of the bed. His hands immediately started massaging the knots on my shoulders, and I found myself relaxing in his touch. "The elders are still being hardheaded about making me queen," I told him, admitting my plan for the first time. He looked at me, but no emotion passed between his eyes. "I would have loved to suggest other things you could do, but it would not be my place to do so; whatever you make up your mind to do would work just fine" he said, and that interested me. I turned, pulling away from his magical hands working on my shoulder. "Tell me what you think; I would love to hear your thoughts" I urged him to speak his mind. "Y
Elara Moonstone "Elara!" I heard a quiet voice call out my name, pulling me into a world I knew I had no business being in right now. When I opened my eyes, I knew that I wasn't in the world that I used to know. This was very different, and the energy here seems to be filling me with more strength than I have been able to muster since I lost my wolf. "Where am I?" I managed to ask and forced myself to sit up. A woman was standing in front of me, but it looked as if she was made from light, so she was difficult to look at. "Elara, my blessed one. You have been through so much and have only gotten little reward from all of your hard work. I didn't plan for it to be so terrible in this lifetime, but even you have a part to play in ensuring your path is made of fewer obstacles." She said, and undoubtedly, I knew I was in the presence of the moon goddess. "My goddess" I said and fell flat on my face, her aura overwhelming me as I found myself bursting into tears. She looked at me with
Elara Moonstone It was nearly nightfall the next day, and Anna was not yet back. My mind was everywhere, and every minute was met with a giant reduction in my strength. Time was running out, and so was my patience. Without thinking twice, I struggled to the bedroom, limping as I went to get something better to wear. My child stirred in my stomach, and I clutched it to prevent myself from passing out from the pain that shot through my whole body. I didn't know what I would do when all of these blew over, but one thing I had become sure of was that I wanted to keep my baby even if it would cost me my life. Just then, there was a rattling on the door, and I rushed to it as fast as I could. It was definitely Anna and Maera; no one else would be able to figure out the door if it wasn't someone who had been here before. With all of my strength, I lifted the hatch, and Maera's body rolled in, followed closely by Anna, who was as dusty as the pathways in the forest. "Oh, Anna!" I moaned a
Lyra "What do you mean by you can't make me queen yet? How does that even sound to you? Your former king is nowhere to be found, and the queen has probably gone crazy. Why won't you still crown me?" I barked at the district head elders as they all looked at me like I was the one who had gone crazy. "You are not even a royal member or a Lycan. Those two things are important, and you should know that we are not trying to delay the process any further. We told you your best bet would be to marry George since you said he was the illegitimate son of the late king. We have agreed with that and won't even go through the hassle of checking due process, but we cannot insult our customs like that and expect others to give us the same respect that we have commanded all these years. We are only trying to help you so that your reign remains unquestionable." One of the elders, whom I was sure was a loyalist of mine, said, "I do not want to marry anyone and time is running out fast. I was hoping t
Elara MoonstoneIt was silent, so silent that the only sound that filtered into my ears was the sound of my heart thumping in my chest. I looked around the room, expecting to be alone, but King Luca sat on the reading table close to the window. He had his head resting on the wall and his long legs
Elara Moonstone"How does he just say that?" I asked Maera while pacing around the room. She was laughing and trying to calm me down, but I was nervous. I was a nervous wreck, and for once, her presence wasn't really helping me. "He has asked for two weeks to court you and then one month to marry
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
Elara Moonstone“This place is so beautiful,” I said as we made our way through the town in one of Luca's sleek cars. Maera happily clung to me as we laughed and talked about how the pack was definitely better than ours. Just then, George's phone rang, and his countenance immediately changed. My i
