Semua Bab Daughter of the Moon: Bab 21 - Bab 30

He sighed softly.Alexander: In a week. We're returning to the kingdom in a week. I want to give Angel some time to get used to all this… and now, to learn to dance.Agnes placed a plate in front of me and smiled tenderly. I looked at Xander, unsure how to eat this dish, and he leaned towards me to kiss my temple. Then, he took what looked like a small triangle of dry bread topped with an ingredient and brought it to my lips.Alexander: Gently, my Luna, it's hot.I opened my lips, and he slowly introduced the bite into my mouth. It was salty, hot, a little spicy, but not as much as the sauce that accompanied the cheese sticks. I looked at Xander, feeling tears welling up in my eyes, and he kissed me gently.Alexander: Agnes, a glass of milk, please, and a plate of fruit and cold cheese.Agnes: Isn't this to your liking, Alpha?Alexander: It's not that, Agnes. Angel isn't used to all this, all these strong flavors… the spices, the salt…She quickly brought the glass of milk, and I dran

I sighed softly in relief, and he closed his arms around me, kissing my forehead.Alexander: My love, I love you…Evangeline: I know… but I’m so afraid… when we enter the kingdom… there will be other she-wolves… so much more beautiful, or even more suited than me to become queen… I’m certain that the she-wolves your mother introduced you to were all cultured, beautiful, some of them… I’m also certain that other she-wolves shared your bed… that they had expectations of you… of their future with you…Then, I felt a wave of love and trust wash over me, and I sighed softly in relief. He kissed me tenderly and rested his forehead against mine.Alexander: I love you, Angel. You are my Goddess-given mate, my soulmate, the one and only she-wolf created for me. No matter my past, it's my present and my future with you that are important.Evangeline: Okay… I'll take it upon myself… I… I'm sorry I'm so scared…Alexander: My Luna… don't apologize, okay? I want you to feel comfortable telling me w

The next day, we went back to the mall. Xander led me into a lingerie shop first, where a woman eagerly offered to take my measurements. I flinched into Xander's arms, and he wrapped his arms around me tightly.Alexander: It's fine, my love, she won't hurt you. She just wants to take measurements to get you the right size… it'll save you time.Evangeline: I don't like being touched by strangers…He sighed softly and reached for the measuring tape. He wrapped it around my body and gave the measurements to the saleswoman. She looked at me curiously, as if I were some kind of freak show. Alexander looked up and stared intently at her. She lowered her eyes, blushing with embarrassment.Alexander: Do you have a problem with my Luna not liking being touched by strangers?Saleswoman: I… sorry Alpha, I didn't mean to be rude. You're so attentive to your Luna, it's lovely to see… and it makes me slightly envious… don't worry, Luna, I have a partner, but I wonder if I were in your situation, wo

With patience and gentleness, he taught me how to use each item and product. Then, he showed me how to remove all the layers of makeup and how to care for my skin afterward. Once everything was done, it was my turn, under his patient supervision. Alexander sat near us, watching me with a smile, attentive to everything Jonas demonstrated.Jonas: A little lighter on the eye shadow, Luna, but otherwise, that's it, you've got the basics down.I smiled at him gratefully. Contrary to what I expected, the time spent in his company was very pleasant. I didn't feel judged for my lack of knowledge. He advised me on natural shades for my makeup, to enhance my existing beauty.When we left the store, Alexander pulled me into his arms and kissed me tenderly.Alexander: I love you, Luna… how are you feeling?I smiled at him gently.Evangeline: Strangely enough, good. He was adorable…Alexander: Do you realize he touched you a lot?I sighed softly.Evangeline: Yes, but he asked my permission every t

One week laterI was watching the city unfold before us through the car window. I was so nervous. I was so afraid we'd encounter objections from his family. Especially his mother. According to my father, very few women are ever worthy of their sons. Alexander told me not to worry, that everything would be alright, but I was scared. The car stopped in front of a huge building, and I felt like I could barely breathe. Alexander pulled me close, burying my face in his lap, so I could calm myself with his scent. When he sensed I'd regained my composure, he gently released me and kissed me tenderly.Alexander: My love, everything will be alright. No one will hurt you here, and no one will force me to leave you. You are my Luna, you are the woman I love, and I would rather renounce the throne than renounce you.Several people were gathered in front of the building, looking toward the car. The driver got out and walked around to open the door. Alexander got out first, and I heard the crowd ch
