Lahat ng Kabanata ng Wolf's Bane: Moonlit Forbidden: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

It was bright and early in the morning when Reyes gathered some of his trusted men to the underground dungeon for a meeting. It didn't matter what his father said, he would go ahead with his initial plan of sending some people into Elyria to get Maya out. His father might be the one recognized as the ruler of Nyxoria and have the title of Alpha, but it was he who led the Nightshade pack, and it was he that most of them regarded as their Alpha and he knew they would do as he would request.Usually, their meetings were only held at night when most people would be asleep in the castle, that was to avoid prying eyes and ears from hearing whatever it was that they discussed, but recently, Reyes had started calling for meetings during the day and without a care in the world if news got to his father about his perculiar meetings. He was Alpha Prince, and as such was allowed to have his own committee to overlook some certain affairs.His people were standing around the stone table when he wal

Ivone pulled Maya behind her as she led her partner through the castle's courtyard and headed for the stable. Maya had complained to her earlier in the morning, while they had been in the room, of being bored after their chat and she had decided to give her a tour of the castle, a castle she herself was not all that familiar with. "Are you sure it is alright for me to be out and about like this, Ivy?" Maya had asked her this question repeatedly throughout their short journey from their room to this courtyard. And each time, Ivone had assured her. "Yes, it is very alright," she had replied with a chuckle and squeezed Maya's hand gently, giving her a reassuring smile, "As long as we stay clear of the Alpha that is, but not to worry, he hardly leaves his quarters, and I don't think he is in right now." The sun was high up and the day was just too beautiful to be cooped up inside, it was literally begging to be spent wandering and galivanting. On days like this in Nyxoria, she and Dama

She swallowed and he continued, the smirk having vanished, only to be replaced by his very cold and mean gaze. It was very obvious now that he didn't like her. He didn't like her one bit."You will get into that drum and stay under.""What if she dies?!" Ivone voiced out, coming to stand inbetween Maya and Triston, having Maya protectively behind her.Triston straightened and replied to Ivone nonchalantly, "If she doesn't get into that drum, she will die. If my father finds her, he will behead her and put up her pretty little head on a spike."Maya swallowed and grabbed a hold of Ivone's arm. She was scared now and it pleased Triston. She should be scared, next time, she would not wander out of the room unnecessarily."Triston, stop scaring her," Ivone cautioned him with a frown. But Triston right now, didn't have a care in the world for Maya.He narrowed his eyes at the scared princess and brought a hand to place on his chest, and with a sarcastically sad face, said, "I can imagine h

Triston looked at him with a slight frown of worry etched across his eyebrows and the skin of his forehead furrowed. Anyone who didn't know his father, the Alpha Ardon Valtor of Elyria would see him now and look past his well built and muscular body and think of him as a man weak and consumed by grief, and maybe it was for this reason that he never allowed this part of him show, not even to him, his own son.And maybe for that, Triston was most grateful. If he had grown up under the guidance of an overly emotional father consumed by the grief of loosing his mate, he might have developed as a man different from what he was now, and he wondered what that would make of him. One had to be strong to endure the loss of a mate and to live as though one was not affected, and that was what his father had done in the twenty years following the death of his mother.Triston began to reason, if he had been blessed with a son before Damaris had been taken away from him, he was sure he would have li

The rain finally came down in Elyria and it came down heavily like it had been long kept against its will and had just finally broken out of the prison that kept it. Lighthning cracked through the skies and it brought with it the loud rumbling of thunder that cried loudly and violently.As the strong winds blew and the storm raged outside, Maya and Ivone cuddled under the sheets to keep each other warm. Ivone slept quite soundly, covered up and cuddled by her partner, with the rain serving as a lullaby to her, but Maya on the other hand could not catch a wink of sleep.She held Ivone sleeping in her embrace and kept her eyes on the curtains as they swayed with the wind that blew into the room, picking and twisting the curtains to dance in the breeze. With each crack of lightening, she felt her heart seize to beat and she looked down at Ivone, wondering how she could be so calmly sleeping in this raging storm.Without making much of a noise, and as easily as she could, she laid Ivone d
