All Chapters of THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

IRIS. Draco and I had never discussed again about me leaving. He was back to being attentive and had told me again that if there was anything I needed, I should tell him first, not Roman or Liam. He also spent time with me at the shed, teaching me how to make fire using what I could find in the forest. I must say I was impressed. Despite having office clothes, he wasn’t afraid to get dirty and dusty as he crouched and kneeled beside me so he could show me the exact way to hold the branches or the broken glass. And I could tell I was not the only one amazed because I had seen most of the helpers peering through the windows and looking at us from time to time. As for the intimate moment in that shed, it happened again.I knew the first time we did it, someone heard us because Mirelle winked at me when we came in and Draco wasn’t looking. But even if my mind told me that I should stop letting my lust for him take over, my body wasn’t obeying. I was drawn to him, no doubt about that.

DRACO.We landed at the airstrip designated for guests visiting the kingdom, where we were immediately informed that we would be taken to a manor assigned to us. At the same time, my Beta would be driven outside the perimeters of Absalom and to the hotel we booked for him.I could tell Iris was nervous, and I couldn’t blame her. No one was smiling at us—from the security that met us to the driver of the limousine that was taking us to the manor.“Relax…” I squeezed her hand that I was holding and resting on her thigh. We were still inside the car. “I’m here. You have nothing to worry about.”She nodded and placed another hand over mine before she began massaging it. “Do you need to meet them without me? Can I come with you then? I don’t think I want to be alone somewhere here.”I withdrew my left hand from her hold and replaced it with my right hand so I could wrap an arm around her and pull her closer to me. “I won’t leave you alone. If ever I need to speak with anyone alone, I will m

IRIS. “Iris… Your eyes…” He mumbled, his eyes fixated on my face like he was looking directly at my soul. And I had no idea if he even heard what I asked of him.He might be acting like this to get away from the question, but Draco was not the type. If he would rather not answer anything, he would tell me directly. “Answer me…” I snapped at him, taking his hand off my elbow. “Your eyes went totally black…”“Stop!”“But those were not a wolf’s eyes…” He continued. My forehead creased as I felt torn between lashing out at him and asking what he was talking about, but he was already muttering under his breath. “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” He dashed to the door and locked it, including the double locks, before he grabbed my elbow and dragged me toward our bedroom. “Let me go!” No matter how I tried to break free from him, he wasn’t letting go.Once we were inside the room, he shut the door and locked it. Then he walked toward the windows and closed them, drawing the curtains closed. I had n

FELICITY. (continuation of the flashback)“The safest way to go is to kill her.” A grin so wicked formed on her dry, black lips before an evil cackle left her throat. “Why don’t you kill her now?” Mom asked. “You need her alive for the next full moon until her spirit settles with your wolf. After that, you can kill her. “That’s twenty days from now.”“Give me her body once she’s dead. I want to play with it using my magic.”“I will have to figure out how to give her whole body to you, as I’m sure my husband will order a cremation right away,” Mom replied. “But you said she’d be asleep for ten days?”“Yes. Losing her wolf spirit is weakening her. After ten days, she’ll wake up as if nothing happened to her.”----------“You told us she’d be asleep for ten days! She woke up today!” I was back at her hideout, where she would cast her spell—in the middle of the forest, inside a cave that no one knew existed unless you passed a waterfall that was hiding it. Mom could not leave the hou

DRACO.“If I want a child, it is only possible with my fated mate…” I mumbled just enough for her to hear.Iris immediately stood up and walked past me, leaving me still crouched on the floor.“Oh, Goddess!” She gasped, hands on her chest as her tears fell. “Only to your fated mate…”I nodded. “That’s why I don’t want to reject her. Rejecting her means losing my chance to have a child. I know it must be a one-in-a-million chance, but I’m willing to take the risk. I know she’s married to someone else, but what choice do I have?”I stood up to face her and found her body shaking with her silent cries. “I know this is immoral, but I don’t care, Iris. I want a son. Fuck, even a daughter, I will take it.”I walked to her and cupped her cheeks again, wiping her tears. “That’s why you can’t fall in love with me. This plan I have will only hurt you.”“She’s pregnant… Is it yours?”“No…” I shook my head.“If the seer is telling the truth, that Felicity can give you a child, why didn’t she get p
