Elara Moonstone

I lay there on my bed trying to calm my racing heart, but nothing I did was working. For a moment, I just wanted to sleep and leave all of these behind. I recalled the meeting with King Luca. I don't even want to get on with that. I got up from the bed and paced around my room. I didn't know why, but for some reason, I was expecting Rowan to come into my room and tell me it was all a prank, but it was time to start accepting reality.

"I am sorry, Father. I had no idea what I was doing. I let someone else take control of the pack while I was left with nothing." I didn't know when tears began to rush out of my eyes. My legs refused to move anymore as I stood there in the middle of the room. Memories of how I was warned flashed through my mind. I was blinded by love and empty promises. How could I not see it? I asked myself.

My thoughts soon wandered to King Luca. For a moment, I considered the opportunity of getting my pack back by fighting alongside him but I didn't wa

  • When The Moon Remembers   10: King’s Vow

    King Luca"I don't know, you tell me." Of course, I didn't want to hear the bad one, but it was inevitable. I needed to know how I was going to meet her in person, talk to her, and make her understand that she was not alone in this world, that I was feeling her pain somehow and I was ready to make her feel okay. Jared didn't waste any time before he started to talk."Alpha Moonstone passed away approximately two years ago. Elara was his only child, and crucially, a female. While females can inherit Alpha status, it's less common, and sometimes a male relative or chosen confidante is preferred to take on the Alpha duties, with the daughter assuming the role of Luna." I didn't know where that was headed but I knew it was not going to end well at all. I had stayed quiet and allowed him to continue what he was saying. He continued, scrolling through the information. Jared paused, looking up. "In this case, Elara was not betrothed, but it was a widely accepted understanding within the pac

  • When The Moon Remembers   9: Scent Of Fate

    King LucaThe door closed with a soft thud, the final scene on the abrupt departure of Elara. How could she have left me standing there after all that I had said? After all that I had offered her. I watched her walk away until she was no longer in sight, and my shoulders gave up their erect postures. My mood spoke volumes about the hurt she carried, the humiliation she had just endured. Before I knew it, a slow, predatory smirk stretched across my face, not born of cruelty, but of a deep satisfaction mixed with fury. Finally, after years of searching, of hoping against hope, the air around me crackled with the certainty of it. She was my mate.I didn't know how to react to her departure. I wanted to follow her, to talk to her, to make her believe that I wasn't here to continue what Rowan had started but another thought drew me back. She clearly didn't want to talk about it. She wanted to be alone; she needed time to process the whole incident, and for a moment, I viewed things from h

  • When The Moon Remembers   8: Silence After

    Elara MoonstoneI closed the door, the sound echoing slightly in the quiet room. 'Get ready' was a generous term. There was no point in trying to look presentable. A quick splash of cold water on my face to chase away the lingering shadow of tears, running a brush through my tangled hair, that was all I could manage. My reflection stared back at me, a pale, drawn face with eyes that held too much pain for a single night. I looked like a stranger.Taking a deep, shaky breath, I opened the door and stepped out into the corridor. Each step down the familiar hallway towards the dining room felt heavier than the last. It wasn't just a meal; it was walking into the lion's den, a stark reminder of everything I had lost.The voices reached me before I reached the doorway, light, cheerful, easy. Rowan and Lyra. They were already there, seated at the large oak table that had once been the heart of my home. They sat close together, their heads bowed conspiratorially, talking and giggling at some

    Elara Moonstone"Rowan, are you even aware of what you are doing? Do you even know what you are doing? I have been trying to make sense of all of this, but it doesn't seem to be working at this point. Why are you doing this? This was not...." He didn't let me finish what I was saying before he interrupted me and I was forced to keep mute to listen to what he wanted to say."Of course, I am very much aware of what I am doing. I don't know why you are saying all this after we went over the issue several times. But somehow you still bring up the issue." I made a scrunching face as I tried to understand what he had just said. What did he mean by that?"Rowan, this wasn't what we talked about. You promised me Rowan. You told me that I would rule the pack with you and after everything we had been through, you went behind me and brought...." He didn't let me finish what I wanted to say before he interrupted me and I was forced to listen."There was no way I would have ignored the bond. I fel

  • When The Moon Remembers   5: King’s Claim

    Elara MoonstoneMy breath hitched as I stood there frozen. I didn't know what else to think. My words reverberated in my mind and for a moment, I only tried to calm my racing heart. What Rowan had done was find a way to escape my mind for a while as the thoughts of being mates to the lycan king filled my mind. The voice of whoever was talking to him caught my attention and I paid attention to what was being said."The arrangements had been made to meet with the alphas." He said. There was a pause and I wondered why. At this point, I just could not stop myself from turning around to look at him. I wanted to see the expression on his face so badly that I didn't realise when I turned around. He had a bit of a surprise on his face."Alphas? I don't remember having any arrangements to meet with any of them. What could I possibly want to discuss?" He asked and waved at the person, as if he were trying to dismiss the person he was talking to. I took a deep breath looking away from him as I d
