Semua Bab Marked by Moon Fire: Bab 31 - Bab 40

“But you knew Papa would never agree to all this.” Alice stared at her sister with wide eyes. They sat on the bed in Alice's room. Alice had one leg tucked underneath her, the other dangling lazily to the floor. While Nyssa had both legs on the bed as she spoke to Alice. “That's the reason I made sure we aren't on good terms,” Nyssa replied to Alice with a shrug. “That's cold.” Alice shuddered dramatically, causing Nyssa to burst into laughter. “I know what I am doing, Alice.” She assured her. “I believe you.” Alice replied, “But isn't it too extreme?” When Papa Ganda told her all that had been going on, she wondered if Nyssa was still thinking with her head cleared or with revenge. “Extreme? How?” Nyssa asked. “How?” Alice asked with wide eyes, “Nyssa, you threw the princess of the Moonrage pack in the dungeon.”“No. No, I didn't.” Nyssa replied. Her face straight, “Lucien, their Alpha, threw his sister in the dungeon. I didn't do anything. I don't even have the power to.” A

The walk to the commoner's dungeon was a long one. People around watched as their princess, a strange girl, and five guards walked through the town heading to the commoners' dungeon. No one spoke.Not after Lillian asked Nyssa to bring a carriage, and Nyssa laughed. “You're a prisoner, Lillian. Not a princess.” She reminded. The pack members watched, but no one dared to stop them.They've heard how a ruthless messenger from the North has come to tear down their pack completely. They knew the strange girl was that girl, but why were they heading towards the commoner's dungeon? Lillian's feet hurt from the long walk. Sweat trickled down her forehead, her hands hurt from holding her gown for too long, and the tips of her ears had turned red. The first thing that struck her was the stench— a mixture of rot and human waste. The air was buzzing with unseen flies. Each step she took made a squelching sound. Her eyes burned as she raised her gown higher so it wouldn't sweep the filthy g

Lillian cannot count the number of times she has vomited. The more she stayed, the more her stomach twirled. She has thrown up from both fear and disgust. Everything about the night disgusted her. The worst was when the food was brought to them. They all had to eat from one plate.With their dirty hands. Although her stomach ached with hunger, she dared not think of eating in such a smelly and dirty place. The cell gate opened, and a plate was thrown to them, causing the whole contents to pour to the ground, yet the women rushed towards it and began to eat from the ground. Lillian felt her throat burn. Before she could stop herself, she threw up again. She shifted to a corner. Refusing to sit, she stood by the side watching the women. No wonder they were skinny, she thought to herself.She wasn't sure she could spend another night in here. Though it was so late, she still couldn't fall asleep. The sounds of footsteps broke through her thoughts. It was getting closer and closer

The air in the council room was thick with silence and the scent of burning wood from the braziers at each corner. The Elders sat down in their chairs, waiting for Alpha Lucien to speak. Fabian again had announced his displeasure with allowing Lillian to spend days in the dungeon for no reason at all. “This is not accepted anywhere.” He said, “You can ask the other kings; no one dared to touch the royal bloodline, let alone throw them in the dungeon.” “I will get her out,” Lucien assured. He had been quiet, giving Fabian the opportunity to say whatever was eating him deep within. And Fabian was right, he cannot allow Lillian to spend one more night in the royal dungeon. As long as he is king, he can refuse a request and grant another. He doesn't care if he was called weak; this was his sister they were speaking about. “When is that?” Fabian bit, “When do you plan to get her out of there?” “Very soon,” Lucien said as he rose up, bold and firm. His eyes ran through every elder i

The temperature in the council room has dropped. Everyone stared at Ronan who remained in front of them after dropping the news. Fabian trembled when he heard that Lillian spent the night in the commoners’ dungeon. He knew what happens at the commoners' dungeon. Many of the elders knew. “We are going there, now!”Lucien ordered to Fabian.Then, the door burst open. Stepping into the council room, was Lillian and Nyssa. Eyes widened. People froze. Lilian was dressed in a beautiful silk gown as usual, neatly. Her hair packed upwards. A smile plastered on her lips as if the dungeon had done nothing but a rumour. At her side was Nyssa, strolling in, dressed in a striking blue gown. Beautiful and unapologetic For a moment, Lucien forgot how to breathe. Everyone stared at them as they strode into the council room. Lucien ran his gaze on Nyssa, staring at her from head to toes. He was dumbfounded. She was wearing his mother's clothes. The sight struck him like a blow to his chest,
