Semua Bab When The Moon Remembers: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Elara Moonstone The king didn't look very pleased that I had asked for my father's diary. My thought had been to simply ask him and he would have it handed over to me, but that was not the case. He made up some silly excuses with the promise of having it sent to me as soon as he was done with Antonio. When I asked him where it was so that I could go and get it myself, he refused, claiming that he didn't want me stressed about anything at all.I went straight to Maera, masking how I truly felt and doing my best not to expose the information in my mind. My wolf, Isla, was restless; she was fighting to take over because she could smell the foul play. I kept calm and made my way to Maera to speak with her. Her house was nice and clean at the heart of the city; Luca had spared no cost in ensuring that she was as comfortable as she could be. We had not mentioned George or even spoken about her loss yet, but she seemed pleased and was recovering. "To what do I owe this visit, and why is y

Elara Moonstone"And to what do I owe the visit of the Queen of the Lycan kingdom?" Felicia mocked me as soon as I got to where she was."I can see that the events of the past few days have taught you nothing about keeping your mouth shut and speaking when it is your turn only?" I fired back at her and watched her face tighten in anger. "What do you want?" She asked me, her eyes fixed on mine as she tried to look into me through them. I held her gaze, not flinching for even one moment as she finally averted her eyes. "How did you get my father's diary?" I demanded, taking my seat in the right chair, with only a see-through glass between us. "Well, that information cannot come without a cost, can it?" She smirked at me, her eyes filled with mischief. "You will tell me all I want to know, or I will have my husband rip out your heart from your chest" I threatened, and her smile faltered. She knew that Luca would do whatever I asked, and even that realization shocked me too. "Okay. I

Elara MoonstoneThe words of Luca refused to leave my mind, my wolf unsettled as we both struggled to make out what he had said. It didn't make any sense that he was offering me his life and his heart, yet he wasn't willing to give me all of it. I struggled with the thought and decided that I would go to the balcony to get some air. Luca's arms were wrapped around my waist; they didn't offer any of the warmth that I was used to. It felt merely like two people holding each other, not like the communion of our souls like it usually was. He didn't even try to touch me, like the conversation from last night had reopened a wound that never fully healed. I wanted to have a conversation, but he had not said another word to me. Nearly discouraged from further conversation with him by going to take his bath and coming straight to bed. Forcing me to go to sleep. My eyes remained open, even as his breathing steadied and I knew that he had fallen deeply asleep; sleep became foreign to me. No m

Elara MoonstoneThe armor was heavy and weighed a ton. Even though the wear was glamorous and queenly, it was too heavy for me to move in. I looked at the jeering crowd that had come to bid us farewell and wish us good luck for the hunting expedition. I expected Luca to be in the Royals arena, but his seat was empty. Just then, he appeared beside me, a stoic expression on his face. "Today, we are marking two great events. The first one is the annual hunting expedition organized by the great Lycan king. The other one is our queen will prove herself worthy of her title today. She will be tested in ways she will not expect; let's pray to the moon goddess that she emerges victorious. Seeing that she is going head-on with the all-time champion, her husband, the king. Let the hunting expedition begin" the crier called out, and the men all raced off, bows strapped tightly to their backs. I followed suit, but I was still way at the back because of how heavy my armor was. "Is she too pregnan

Elara Moonstone"Can you try moving your hands for me?" Luca asked me, a desperate urgency in his voice. "No, I can't even feel it." I tried, but only my neck moved. Without wasting time, Luca dashed off to his bedside drawer and retrieved a black substance. He picked up his special dagger and tore the spot where I had been bitten. Black blood immediately rushed out. Luca pressed out all the blood until the color changed to a bright red, then he stuffed it with the black substance that looked like charcoal. "That is the grounded scorpion; it is the antidote to this. But I fear that it will take too long to kick in. The fastest time that it had ever worked was a full day. The swimming competition is this evening, and without your hands, you will drown" Luca explained, his voice expressing more danger. "What can I do? Can the date be changed? Just until I can use my right hand well" I begged, but he shook his head. "The moon controls the quest for you; once you start, you can't sto
