All Chapters of ONCE FORSAKEN, NOW THE LYCAN KING’S LUNA: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

SOFIA'S POV I didn't like the fact that it was morning already. The night appeared quite shorter than it should.It made no sense though that the day would be unnecessarily long, then the night would fade off like fart.My body still ached, and a few more hours of sleep was what I needed, but what would the people say if they find out their Luna is nothing but a sleeping beauty.No, I didn't want that. I jumped to my feet, dragging along the tiled floor. I was still too exhausted to walk as I should.I was hungry too. My bellt wouldn't cease rumbling. I rang the bell, my lips curtly pressed against each other. My handmaid raced in, bowing before me.Such well mannered girl. She was sleek too and quite dedicated. I did like her. “Good morning, your grace. What would you have me do?” She asked, her head raised to me.I smiled, gently patting her on the back. I didn't like that she was kneeling before me. “I feel a bit hungry. Do you think it's because I didn't eat anything before go

SOFIA'S POV Laying on the bed with my gaze fixed on the white washed ceiling didn't quite fit me at that moment.I tossed around, my mind filled with various thoughts.I also wanted to know. Who had poisoned me?Some more, I rolled, biting hard at my lower lips. Unable to bear it anymore, I jumped to my feet, moving quickly along the hall.Not quite sure how Dane would take to this, but I was certain I didn't want to remain in bed anymore. “Your grace, you're to remain in bed ma'am.” A guard said to me. His voice, soft yet commanding. I ogled hard at him, anger consuming me.“Who are you to tell me where to be or not? You do want your body feasted on by vultures right?”“I'm sorry, your grace. It's not in my intention to disrespect you. I was only stating the Alphas’s wishes.”“I would deal with the alpha, but if you know what's best for you, you'll get on immediately.”The young scurried off, his balls dangling in between his legs. “Moron.”I charged on, halting only when I was in

SOFIA'S POV Someone had spoken now. Not just any words. Confessed to poisoning the cake.I smiled, but not for long. It faded like tarr the moment I saw who it was. The smile was replaced by a thick surge of anger.It was so thick that it almost choked me. My hands tightened into fists as I ogled at her. Goodness knows I could strangle her if left alone.I had barely spent a week in blood creek, but she had tried killing me thrice. “Why? Why did you poison the cake?” Dane asked, his face hard. I could see how hard it was for him seeing his own mother was behind such treason.If only one could chose their parents, no doubt he would never have chosen that woman.She laughed, roughly pulling out a chair. She sank her ass on it, chewing on goodness knows what.“I asked a question, didn't I?” Dane’s patience was waning— I could see that. It was only a matter of minutes before he strikes her down. “Well, I had cut out some slice for myself because I wanted to eat it. I added some of my d

DANE'S POV Mike's eyes widened. Shocked? Angry? I couldn't tell, but the look on his face was one that set me on my toes.The audacity he had. I could have landed another blow on his jaws at that moment, but I didn't. Patience — I had to exercise it.“What reason would I have to want to kill the Lycan queen?” I chuckled. His words sounded funny to me even though they weren't. Did he just ask those questions of me?“Mike, should I remind you of how you mistreated this woman while she was with you? Should I remind you of how you showed her nothing but pain and misery? You have the audacity to ask such question.”“So you think I really did try to kill her, right?” His gaze, fixed wholly on me.I nodded, mine fixed on him too. “That's right. You did try to kill her, and that's not all.”I paused, allowing my words sink in. “The aim wasn't just to kill the Lycan king. You wanted to destroy her womb, so she would never bear me a child?”Mike remain silent. This irked me so much, much more

DANE'S POV I jumped my face without wasting a single second. If Dane was ready to confess, then it was certain he had people backing him up.I knew all along that you couldn't have acted all by himself. The Alpha from the north— There was no way I could ever place my trust in them even though they have sworn their allegiance.They were corny, cocky, and deceitful. “Why don't you wait to finish your food? It might get cold before you return.”I nodded, agreeing with Sophia. With every spoon that I took, the anger in me heightened. It couldn't be helped. I was dying to know those what plotted against me in addition to Mike. Heavens knows what I was going to do to them. Maybe the heads on a spike would be enough punishment, or their bodies being dragged by horses along the streets.I remained patience until I had downed every ounce of food before me. Jumping to my feet, I walked off, Sofia following closely behind me.The air was tense, heavy as well. Sofia remained quiet. No doubt, S
