Novel & Cerita Elaina Light

“Delilah…” Sienna began again, but I cut her off. “Stop it!” I screamed. “Stop pretending! Stop playing this damn role where you’re the kind-hearted Luna who forgives and shelters her enemies. If you think that this is a way for you to earn me, I will not be earned. I am here because of one thing and one thing alone. It is an alliance that is going to end the second that he takes his last breath. I am not your friend! I am not one of you. I am the one who came here with a purpose. I am the one who was supposed to destroy you. And now I'm only here because there was a shift that happened. But trust me when I say that if it had been up to me, I would have killed all of you.”

She was tall and graceful. “Elena,” Albert said, placing a hand on her shoulder, “This is Mr Darius of the Lunaris Dominion Capital.” She turned her sharp brown eyes toward me, offering a polite smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr Darius.” “I've read so much about you." She quickly added. I gave a curt nod. “Elena is an artist herself,” Albert continued. “She’ll be managing this gallery.” I didn’t respond, merely observing her. She was young, probably in her late twenties, but there was an intelligence in her gaze that told me she wasn’t just another wealthy socialite riding on her father’s name.

"I will see that you are not regretful of this sacrifice. You shall be my Queen. With or without a mark." I shut my eyes and heard his regular beating. I had been an omega that was forgotten, a dead girl. But as I was drifting down to a light sleep, I knew one thing, and that was that I was not afraid of the cost. I was Elara, the Luna of Shadowood, and I could burn my light to ashes were it by any possibility the man I loved might live to see the sunrise. ---

But her eyes still burned with that unnerving divine light. "My name is Elyra," she said, stepping into the cell. "High Inquisitor of the Order of the First Light. And you, Luna, are my greatest achievement." Luna's jaw tightened. "If you plan to kill me," she rasped, "just do it. Spare me the villain speech." Elyra laughed. The sound was surprisingly warm. *Human.* "Kill you?" she said. "Child, I have spent two decades *searching* for you. Why would I kill the most valuable asset we have ever captured?"

It paced and snapped with unease. “You must be the new Luna everyone is talking about,” the woman said. Her voice was smooth but I sensed a little hostility beneath the words. It felt like a hidden edge. I decided to ignore the feeling for now. “Yes, I am Selina. Who are you?” She smiled. The smile came almost too excitedly. It did not reach her eyes fully. “I am Elara. Daughter of an old friend of Julian’s father and Julian’s childhood friend. I have been away for some time. Traveling and handling family matters far from the pack. I returned as soon as I was done with everything. Unfortunately I missed the ceremony.”

Elena promised, her voice a quiet, desperate vow as she stared at the reflection of the monster standing behind her. Lydia let out a soft, satisfied hum, patted Elena's shoulder with a chillingly affectionate gesture, and turned to leave. She unlocked the heavy door and slipped out into the pouring Chelsea rain, leaving Elena alone in the quiet shadows of the loft, staring at the gray dress that would soon become the shroud for Elara's empire.

"Because dead secrets are reliable." Ria laughed softly. "Oh, don't scare her, we're not killing you." "At least not tonight." She crouched in front of me, her smile still intact. "We're simply going to help Alpha Oliver realize what kind of woman you truly are." My vision blurred even further by every passing second, the room spun. I could no longer keep my eyes focused. Cole's face became little more than a shadow. "You've become a very inconvenient problem, Lilith." He adjusted his grip beneath my shoulders.

Rayne talked about the whole process and my heart ached with every word she uttered; she faced a lot of torture under my roof. "Do you know why Eleanor did that to you?" Elizabeth asked her. Rayne tried to stay silent, but she placed her fingers on her temples and started rubbing them. "Resisting the spell will put you in pain, Rayne," Elizabeth informed her. "Eleanor is... She is in love with Adrian..." Olivia gasped beside me when Rayne said that and my eyes went wide in surprise. I didn't know that.

She had already gotten used to the fact that the realm and the creatures in it, were not particularly fond of humans. "Yes." Wow. She was very beautiful. Andreas brought on his A game. "I knew you sounded familiar. I'm Eleanor." She greeted. Jalta rose a delicate brow and said, "I know." Oh... "Okay then. How many maids are there?" Another woman walked up to them, greeted Anna, and smiled at Eleanor. "You are human. You are so beautiful! Forgive me, I'm Litea." Eleanor smiled back at her. "I'm Eleanor. Lovely to meet you, Litea."

Caroline, a she-wolf who has been considered a monster since she was a child, can she break the tragedy spell and find her MATE?
