All Chapters of The Mute Luna Bride : Chapter 71 - Chapter 75

ELORA Morning came, and with it the never ending gust of sadness and…nothing. Just a pure nothingness that left me questioning everything I had ever known to be true about myself, about my home. Did I ever belong here, because it never felt like I did. And I knew I had said it a lot of times, but something always seemed to remind me. Today, it was the third summon to the council that left me feeling like an impostor. I was only there to find out ways I could help Ryker and his people stay safe. The guard read out the words from a scroll with a seal that brought bad memories. The crest of Stormrider.The moment I saw it, my stomach twisted into knots. It was the thing that caused me to end up here. Ryker had found the mercenaries with the scroll and didn’t believe I was innocent. I pushed the thought out of my mind and thanked the guard when he was done reading. Tamika stood in the corner, watching me dress in silence.

Stormrider’s gates had cracked open with a roar, and warriors poured through like a flood.In front of them, Varek and Kael mocked the little number they currently watched. Their army outnumbered the South’s with at least nine thousand. Varek’s eyes on them. The southern army, smaller, leaner, stood their ground outside the scorched edges of the field. VAREK could not, for the life of him, figure out if this was all they had, or it was a trap. Their presence here meant they had been told about what was to happen today, long before it even happened. Had they gotten reinforcements? Was this an ambush? The Stormrider prince had laughed and was more than ready to attack, but the former grand commander had seen more than enough of war to know when something was wrong.
