All Chapters of The Luna’s Inheritance : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LEANNA’S POV“You can’t be serious!” I half yelled, suppressing a wince as I fought to keep whatever energy I had left from the bout. I stared at him in defiance as I protested with my gaze. There’s no way he’s going to make me scale a mountain that practically reached the sky in my injured state.“I’m not asking,” his voice instantly dropped several degrees as he stared back at me. My heart settled in my stomach as a feeling of dread instantly filled my bones.My fingers dug into the sand beneath me as I once again experienced what it felt like to be weak. And once again, I hated it.“The adrenaline coursing through your veins will help you scale it. Or at the very least, reach a sizable point,” he said with his back now turned towards me.I didn’t fully understand his rationale, but I knew he didn’t want me dead. My gaze drifted off towards the dead bodies casually sprawled aside. Their limbs twisted in awkward positions, with terror forever etched on their faces.I suppressed a sh

LEANNA’S POVMy legs moved before I could fully process the sight before me, as I drew closer to the assailant, who watched me with a cold, unbothered gaze.“Take one more step and I slit his throat,” an icy chill filed the air as his voice dropped. The child penetrated my bones, forcing me to stop in my steps.My vacant expression slowly turned grave as I moved to assess the man in front of me. He was different, different from the ones I had faced before.The ones I barely managed to ward off, if not for Stormfang’s help. “What do you want? It’s me right? Let him go and I’ll go with you,” I fired in a hurry. My gaze never once leaving Romeo’s figure.My heart clenched as I watched his brows furrow in pain. Blood staining his lips as he pressed them into a thin line. “Please,” I called out once again, throwing my gaze back to the assailant. “What do you think you know?” He asked, cocking his head to the side. The mask on his face obscuring his every feature asides his eyes.I swall

LEANNA’S POV“Bring them to me,” my grandfather commanded softly, motioning towards one of his guards. I watched as the guard reached forward and cupped the flowers with both hands. Beads of sweat rolling down his forehead as he presented it to him.The tension in the air was extremely palpable as everyone watched with bated breaths, as my grandfather appraised the flowers. My breath got caught in my throat as I awaited his verdict. I was confident they were real, but a part of me still felt hesitant.I watched as my grandfather raised his head, surveying the crowd slightly, before his gaze settled on me as his lips parted to say, “They’re…real.”His voice was thick with emotion as he peered down at me. I stared back at him, flinching slightly as I watched something akin to pride flash across his features, before disappearing quickly.“Impossible!” Lena’s voice rang out the loudest, pulling me out of my reverie. “She must’ve cheated somehow,” she went on to say. Her voice was filled

LEANNA’S POV“Instructor!” I called out, waving as I walked towards him, ignoring the weird gazes that floated my way. The sea of students automatically parted as I made my approach.I raised a brow silently, as it seemed as though news of my initial success had reached the ears of each and every member.I watched as he turned towards me, his eyes lighting up as he let out, “Leah! Took you long enough,” he said with a wide smile that reached his eyes.A slight smile tugged at my lips as I moved to stand in front of him. I had not seen him since my embarrassing fight against Lena. If he hadn’t stepped in, I knew I wouldn’t have gotten off without a few broken bones.“I’m sorry I haven’t stopped by to visit,” I said with a sheepish smile, a hint of red creeped up my cheeks as I did in fact feel guilty. “It’s okay,” he shrugged it off, clasping a strong arm over my shoulder. My tense muscles relaxed under his cheerful gaze.“Can we go somewhere to talk?” I asked, my eyes surveying the

LEANNA’S POVI walked towards my grandfather’s quarters, walking past the guards who merely threw me a glance but made no move to stop me.I had visited his place more times in the last week than I had in years. I stepped forward, knocking slightly on the door. I threw a quick glance at the sky instantly realizing there was no way he would be asleep by that time.“Who is it?” He called out wearily. I took a deep breath, hoping my visit would be fruitful before I let out.“It’s me, Leah,” I said.“Leah? Come in,” he said, the surprise in his tone extremely evident. I took a deep breath as I pushed open the door, stepping into his office.His figure sat upright in his seat, his tired eyes wide as he stared at me. The vast number of papers on his desk told me his job was anything but easy. I clenched my fists as I remembered that was to be me someday. The one to worry about the affairs of our people.“To what do I owe the pleasure Lena?” He asked after motioning for me to sit down. I t
