All Chapters of The Forgotten White Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I woke up around noon, and when I went downstairs to grab something to eat, I realized that Axel and the entourage of high-ranking officials and their wives were waiting for me.This is our farewell. We’re heading to the capital tomorrow, so they came to say goodbye. When I reached the table, Axel stood up and helped me sit down. Everything seems to be going well, but I can feel the tension in the air. Things aren’t right, and now they have a huge problem on their hands.The Alpha who tricked him to keep him away, I don’t know what happened with that pack, but it couldn’t have been good. With two Alphas against him and Axel punishing the one who tricked him, the other packs in the area have good reason to distrust the King.This is going to be much harder than he thinks, and he’s dragged me into something I don’t know how to handle. Is all this worth it? I don’t think he wants to lose the kingdom over a woman.Lunch is going well, but I see the servants bustling back and forth. They’re

The journey to the castle was stressful. I never thought I’d make it this far, and now I’m at King Axel’s castle.“I know you’re tired, but we can’t ignore my parents. We need to greet them before we go to rest. Is that a problem?”His parents? The former king and the Queen Mother. The rumors I’d heard back home always said that Axel’s father was a reserved man of few words and that his mother was a ruthless woman.I never knew what was true and what was false, but if they’re like people say, maybe his mother won’t like me, and his father won’t even take notice of me.“Is that necessary? Why would they want to meet a commoner?” I don’t want to have to face the most important people in the kingdom right after Axel arrives.“You’re not just a commoner, and Mother won’t let this slide. If we snub them, her wrath will fall on both of us, and I won’t be able to stop her.”“That sounds nice.”“Everyone says I look like her.”I don’t know if he just made a joke or if he’s serious. He keeps ac

The maids woke me up early, and the whole day was a blur that flew by, with spa treatments to ensure flawless skin, choosing a dress, hairstyles, shoes, perfume, accessories, and a quick review of some of the formalities needed to survive at court.Late in the afternoon, Axel came over to the area he’d set aside for me, and I finally got a break from all that nonsense.“Are you tired?”“I want to go back to Mila.”He gives a half-smile. I guess he’s tired too, and as the King, he has to attend to many matters. Which reminds me…“Your mother is more domineering, and yesterday you said she was the one who ran the kingdom back then. I thought your father was the one who intervened in the War of the Three Pack.”I couldn’t stop thinking about that all day. The news that reached Silver River always talked about the King and, on some occasions, the Queen.“Back then, Dad took the reins. Mom tends to cut off heads, and that wasn’t the right approach to end the war and bring the situation unde

Axel's brothers and sisters are nice. Dinner goes very well, and after they catch up with Axel, his sisters turn their attention to me, they invite me for tea and to various events, and they want to know everything about me. His brothers mention welcome gifts for joining the family, but they want them to be surprises.It’s strange to be with a family and have them treat me like I’m part of it, even though it’s obvious that their mother doesn’t like me and their father is completely indifferent toward me.I finish the last sip of the glass of wine they brought Axel, and one of his brothers, the oldest, asks me to dance, which only elicits a grumble from Axel, but the man takes my hand anyway and helps me up.I repeat that I don’t know how to dance, over and over, but this man doesn’t seem to care. That runs in the family.“As the older brother, it’s an honor that you’ll dance with me and that we have the chance to talk about the future of this relationship.”“You think I’m with your bro

When I finally managed to open my eyes, I was looking straight into a pair of golden, attentive eyes that were staring intently at me.“You’re awake. Are you feeling better?” Axel spoke softly, almost in a whisper, sounding concerned.“How long was I unconscious?” It feels like I’ve been in bed ever since I escaped from Silver River.“Four days.”I feel like I’m wasting my life. Escaping wasn’t the real solution to my problems.“I’m sorry to rush you, but things aren’t looking good. Let me know if you’re ready to appear at a hearing. If you’re not feeling well, it can wait another day, but regicide isn’t something to be taken lightly, especially when I’m the King they tried to assassinate.”His sarcastic, twisted sense of humor doesn’t sit well with me right now. I feel like the world and life itself are against me, but that’s usually how it is when you nearly die from drinking poison meant for someone else.“I’ll be with you every step of the way. If they try to separate us, I’ll asse
