Lunette's POVMy tears mixed with rain that cascaded down my head as I limped backward but my gaze zeroed on him. He stood there holding an umbrella."Five minutes," he suddenly spoke up. "Since you want to run, I'll give you five minutes to escape. If your strength fails you, forget about leaving me ever again." He added.Should I be grateful? But five minutes wasn't enough for me to go far, given my condition.I could see through his game. He wanted to pretend to be generous but in fact he just wanted to toy with me.I bit my inner cheek and looked at him, it would be better for me to negotiate. Kaleth would never let me go willingly but I could still try without surrendering to my cruel fate."Make it fifteen minutes!" I requested. My face was stern. An effort to hide the fear that threatened to swallow me whole."Four minutes!" He said in a deep voice.What?Without wasting another second, I turned away from him and attempted to run but I failed woefully as my legs cried out in ag

I folded my arms across my chest as I stood at a corner, carefully watching as my personal doctor attended to her.Elara continued to shiver as she remained kneeling.The way I plan to deal with her, all of them have already been mapped out. For now, the only thing I wanted was for Lunette to regain consciousness."Hmm, I've examined Luna, Your Majesty and I can assure you that she will be awake in a few hours. Her body crashed out as a result of extreme stress but with adequate rest, she would be just fine." Koran informed.I didn't blink as my gaze remained on an unconscious Lunette as I registered Koran's words.I waved my hand and that was his cue, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'd be on my way now." Koran said and walked out of the room.The room fell into silence. It's a good thing that Elara and the rest knew how to control their breathing.Without sparing her a glance, I commanded in a deep voice, "Go to the dungeon and receive your punishment. The longer your Luna sleeps, the lon

Lunette's POV "Can I please not go in now?" I asked as I glanced over my shoulder to look at the Lord Zade.He didn't say anything but continued to push the wheelchair. The closer we got, the more beads of sweat trickled down my forehead.Was I walking into my death? The deadly aura that surrounded the place made my stomach churn.I bit my lips as I contemplated what to call him. Lord Zade or Zade.I was higher than him in hierarchy but that was only on paper. He held far more real power than I did.Fiddling with my fingers, I sucked in air and parted my lips, "I'm sorry for the inconveniences, Lord Zade but I hope you would help me," I added.This time my voice was shaky.He didn't respond but I could feel the air around us change."Pull yourself Luna. You can't command respect if you choose to shrink yourself. Besides, no one would truly respect and follow a weak leader!"His words were blunt. Sharp and piercing.I swallowed the bitter chuckle that vibrated in my chest. Kaleth neve

Lunette's POV"Noooooooo!" I screamed as I jolted up. My chest rose and fell repeatedly and at a fast pace.With widened eyes, I scrutinised where I was, and it turned out to be Kaleth's bedroom. How did I get here? The dream I just had... wait, it was too vivid.My jaw dropped as it dawned on me that it might have really happened. Kaleth, he...I covered my mouth with my hands, and I cried, shaking my head frantically. It was impossible.I knelt, pleaded, cried, urged that he should spare Holland's life.Holland was the name of my saviour. One that I knew about a bit too late - when he was on the verge of losing his life.I knew Kaleth was ruthless, but he shouldn't be able to kill casually, right? Maybe I was overthinking. I passed out; it was possible that Kaleth didn't kill him.I shouldn't think the worst of him, yet. It could be that he was hostile towards me because of our family feud. Because if not, how could I live with the guilt that an innocent person lost his life becaus

Lunette's POVMy stomach churned as the words rolled off his tongue. Consummation? He barged in and destroyed everything before I could finish the conversation with my mother.The veins in my hands popped, and my eyes blazed. A renewed rage surged through me, filling me with strength I never knew I had.I scurried off his arms and shoved him so hard that his back slammed against the wall.I stood there drenched, in nothing but my underwear, but I didn't care. Why would I when someone was hell-bent on destroying me?He took one step forward, but I stretched out my hand and signalled for him to stop. As if he were considerate, he didn't bother to take another step."Makari!" He sneered while his jaw clenched."Don't you dare call me that!" I hissed. "You have absolutely no right to call me that name. Only the man I love can call me that. Not a monster!" I eyed him.Something dark and creepy settled in his eyes, shaking my resolve and making me silently question whether I wanted to conti
