Semua Bab The Promised Luna: Bab 151 - Bab 160

AYLAAs we made our way into the great hall of the Kingdom of Mercia. I had my hands clamped in front of me. I tried to keep my heartbeat steady as I tap my palm every five minutes.Commander Osborne and his men were all over me within a military style protection detail formation.Lady Berah walked beside me, but not too close. There was a little distance between us to show who is superior.I was sad about that. I wanted her beside me, to hold my hands even. But she insisted it was tradition, and we had to follow it.As we passed different places of the palace, memories of my time here flooded my mind. I remember when I first met Commander Riven, Maria and even Silvia.All of these people have made a huge impact in my life, and every soon I'm going to have to pick between them and my pack.Everyone we passed on the way, stopped to bow to me. Some of these people didn't even acknowledge I was living in the palace with them.And now they bow to me, hoping to gain what? I rather not thin

AYLAMy eyes stayed on the window as we drove out to the palace, into the streets of Mercia's capital and out.I saw the hospital in which I was trapped and where Lord Hamish had given his life just to protect me. So many memories, so many reasons to stay and fight for love, for unity. But one major reason to run away. The man with the mark of a dragon.Even after seeing the mark, I still don't know what it means. But at least I'm far away from him.Far away that he can't use my powers against me.“You are doing the right thing, your grace,” I heard Berah say to me and I gave a little smile.“I hope so, Berah. I want to believe so,” I sighed heavily as I rested on the headset on the seat of the car.“You miss them already,” she said like a question, but it wasn't a question.“I have to move on,” I said instead. “I have to try and forget about them, forget about him. My life is Stormbringer now, and Amora,” I looked at my daughter, playing with her doll.“I won't be selfish and ask f

The command center was too quiet. Too still. I didn’t like it.Damon stood at the map table, his jaw tight as he looked at the glowing red dots marking our border defenses.“Still no word from Ayla?” I asked, my voice calm, but every soldier in the room froze when I spoke.“No, my King,” Damon replied. His tone was respectful, but I could hear the same frustration I felt deep in his voice.I clenched my hands behind my back, keeping my face straight. No one needed to see what was going on inside me. Only Damon could feel it, he had known me too long.“The mind link?” I asked.Damon shook his head. “Blocked. Commander Osborne hasn’t reported in either.”Blocked. Which meant interference. Which meant danger.“Send a search unit.”“My King, we’ve already….”“Double it.” My tone left no room for argument. Damon gave a sharp nod and signaled to the soldier at the communication board.I walked to the window, staring at the sky above Mercia. The clouds were heavy, dark. The air felt differen

SLADEIt has been hours since Commander Osborne arrived at the camp. Camp Salton. Just because we are fighting on the field of Salton. A land that stands between our armies and my banished brother.Commander Osborne had told us about the traitor, and she has been bound and chained waiting for Ayla. But where is she? Osborne said he was only a few hours ahead of them but it feels like days.I had met Philip on the way to rescue Ayla, but he insisted on being the one to do it. Himself, his sister, Lady Hilda and their army. They needed to be the one to rescue her.There was a large sound coming from a detector. Which means Ayla had arrived. I raced out of my tent. Philip and Hilda rushed out of their car. The look on their faces meant something was wrong.I rushed to the car, the back door was open and Ayla laid there, looking lifeless. “Ayla,” I called her name softly.“She needs a healer, your Highness. Right now,” Philip said and I nodded. I scooped her into my arms and carried her

AYLAI stood beside Slade watching him make battle decisions with the Kings, and all high ranking soldiers.I looked at my brother who just added a suggestion to Slade's decision. Everyone was pleased with it and so was Slade. I'm glad to see them working together and doing so in unity. But I know there is no anomilty between them. I can see Phillip looking at Slade with admiration and so was Slade.“If our ships are flanking theirs from the east. This beach here…” the location of the map on the screen was changed. “Will be our battlefield.”“I agree with King Slade,” Damon said. “The ground here is solid and there is no way our troops will sink into the sound.”“Yes,” Phillip added. “Beside there are more grounds here in the mountains top,” another location was shown. “We can take them from all sides.’“Tomorrow is the battle, the war,” I found myself saying. I looked up to see a lot of eyes on me. “Tell everyone to make sacrifices and pray to the goddess. Because despite our advan
