All Chapters of LUNAR LEGACY : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The rogues would most likely kill me faster than the witches had attempted to. Not just because they had trained me and taught me everything I needed to know, but because I was less prepared. And I had done that on purpose.The witches had magical powers that could be on par with the ones I had, and they had tricks up their sleeves as I had seen. But the rogues…they relied purely on brutal strength and tactics.“Everyone, get into battle position. Forget about fighting fair. She might be one person against all of us, but I’m sure she knows that. She wouldn’t just come here all alone without a plan,” Gray told them.As instructed, they all started to separate and go into different positions.I turned around where I stood and studied each and every one that my eyes could pick up, calculating and estimating how many more people were hiding and planning sneak attacks.“I’m done playing nice with you, Zara,” Gray told me. “I’m giving you the last chance to walk out of here with your head.”

“How are you doing in there?” I asked when I stepped in front of the cell where Darius was sitting down in the dungeon later in the night when I had put Aaron to bed.“Not very good, to be honest,” he said in response as he stood up and walked up to the cell with a weak smile on his face that I had spent enough time to know was fake.“You’re not happy about this arrangement, are you?” I didn’t even need him to give me an answer. He looked down at the ground as if finding what to say but being at a loss still.“I know exactly how this must feel,” I joked, trying my hardest to lift the mood. “After all, you’ve done quite a lot to me. I’m familiar with this.”He gave me a look that made me realize he didn’t find it funny, and I frowned as I reached for his face and cupped it softly and encouraged him, “Tell me what’s wrong, Darius. You don’t have to hide anything from me. Just tell me how you feel about this.”“This has always been the problem with us, Zara,” he said. “You’ve been lookin

“Are you alright, Luna?!” I heard a soldier ask me as I opened my eyes with a loud gasp and jumped out of bed as if I had just had the most horrible nightmare ever.“What… Why are you in here?” I asked, squinting at the light pouring into my eyes from the window. That was when I realized that it was morning already.“I heard Aaron crying, and you were screaming about something in your sleep. I’ve been trying to wake you up for minutes now.”At the mention of Aaron, my eyes snapped down to find him finding Aaron close to his chest. He had stopped crying, but he now had a hiccup. I took Aaron out of the soldier’s hands and gave him a thankful and apologetic smile.“I’m so sorry for the inconvenience,” I quickly said as I sat down with Aaron, cradling him to my chest.The only thing I remembered was my call to the moon goddess, but I just couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was something else. It felt like after that meeting with her, I didn’t come here directly. I was taken somewh

“We’re not going to do that,” Darius said when I told him what the vampires wanted from us so they would work together with us when the time called for it.Smith had told me what they wanted in confidence. He had encouraged me to tell Darius about it in private so we could both come to a decision without influence from the outside, but Darius was now proving to be my biggest challenge.“Darius, they won’t be here with us. It’s the perfect plan. Your pack is big enough for us to migrate your brother’s pack members. That way, you can keep your eyes on them and be their alpha. I’m sure you’re the only person your brother would trust to lead his people.”“Listen to yourself, Zara,” he argued. “You want me to displace my brother’s pack members from the home they’ve known for such a long time to accommodate vampires? You want vampires to live just a border away from us? The same vampires who kidnapped you—”“You’re making this more complicated than it actually is, Darius,” I snapped at him,

“How many hours has it been since then?” Darius asked for what felt like the umpteenth time that day. He had been approaching me and trying to figure out how long it had been since I had sent out the letter to Smith and the vampires to let them know that we were accepting their demands.“I have no idea, Darius. We should be expecting them soon. The sun only just went down some time ago. Maybe he’s not even going to come tonight. Maybe it’s tomorrow night.” I shrugged, trying to play it off.I was just as anxious as Darius was, if not more anxious. We were so close to closing the deal with the vampires. All it took was him agreeing to our terms and us making other plans to move forward.“What if he thinks we’re trying to trap him?” He questioned. “What if he thinks we’re not serious because we stated in the letter that we have terms of our own?”I didn’t know Smith as much as his vampires did, but I knew enough to know he would bite the bait.“That’s the last thing we should be worried
