All Chapters of Moonlight Deception : Chapter 111 - Chapter 119

Stefan stood before the throne where the King sat.“I have a task for you,” the king said, sipping from a gold goblet filled with blood.Stefan gave a sharp nod, eyes cold. “What is it, Your Majesty?”“There’s a witch, Meridia. She has been aiding one of my rivals. Hiding his scouts and sending him visions. I want her silenced.”Stefan tilted his head slightly. “Assassination?”The king smirked. “No. That would be too easy. I want her daughter taken. A child’s grief weakens a mother. And a weakened witch makes mistakes.”Stefan’s jaw tightened. His fingers curled at his side.“She is only a child,” he said slowly, choosing his words carefully.The king’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of amusement and irritation in his expression. “Do I detect hesitation, Stefan?”Stefan didn’t answer.The king stood now, walking toward him. “I allow you to breathe here, Stefan. I let you wear the royal crest and bear my name even though your mother was a filthy half blood I should’ve erased. And now you

"You have a plan?" Stefan asked."Yes, but it depends on how good a actress her mother is?"Stefan frowned curiously."What do you mean, 'how good an actor?' how does the plan work?""We are going to do the exact same thing I did, fake a death.""But how, the king will know""Isn't she a powerful witch? Plus there is one thing you aren't considering""what's that?""Your loyalty, have you eve gone against the king?" she asked."No, I have never done that""So he wouldn't suspect a thing"Stefan was conflicted, he had never gone against the king before. But then he remembered how Kaia had looked at him and that was all the motivation he needed."I will do it" he immediately agreed. "But she hates me, she knows I was the one in charge of kidnapping her child, why would she believe me?" Stefan asked. "That's true, then, I will talk to her" Rita said. "How are you going to get there unnoticed?" Stefan wondered. "I and Teresa will have to go shopping.""But what if the king suspects yo

The door opened and Stefan stepped into the room. Rita stood near the fireplace, clutching a small glass vial in her hand, she rushed to him when she saw him.“You’re back,” she said softly, her voice unsure.He nodded stiffly, his expression was unreadable. She couldn't tell what he was thinking. She placed the potion in his hand carefully, avoiding direct eye contact.“This will make her appear dead,” she said quietly. “Meridia gave it to me herself. It carries her magic, Kaia will look lifeless, there will be no heartbeat or pulse. But she’ll be fine, after a few hours.”Stefan turned the vial slowly between his fingers, the contents within glowed with a soft green shimmer. He stared at it in silence, clearly torn.Rita looked at him, brow furrowed. “You are hesitating,” she said. “Why are you hesitating?”He clenched his jaw. “Because I hate that this is even necessary.”“But at least Kaia lives,” Rita said gently. “That’s better than letting the king get his hands on her, or wo

Rina heard a knock on the door. She wasn’t expecting anyone, she wondered who it was, When she opened the door and saw Rain standing there, a wide smile broke across her face.“Rain!” she exclaimed, flinging her arms around him before he could even say hello. “You didn’t even send word you were coming!”“I missed you,” he said softly, hugging her back. “And I needed to breathe. Things… got heavy back home.”Rina pulled him inside quickly, chattering as she led him into the kitchen. “You’re just in time. I made sandwiches. Sit down, you must be hungry.”“I am,” he admitted, taking a seat and relaxing for the first time in days. Rina placed a plate of sandwiches in front of him, then sat across from him, watching him. They had just started eating when Kaia appeared, barefoot and sleepy eyed, wearing one of the oversized t-shirts Rina had given her. Her hair was a mess, and she looked like she’d just rolled out of bed.“I was looking for something to eat,” Kaia mumbled, blinking at the
