Chapter 15:

Ciara's POV

He pulled me effortlessly into the room next to the Luna's chamber. My eyes widened at him as he closed the door of the room behind us, with his hand still over my mouth.

I told him to let me go, but the words came out disoriented and misplaced, making no sense as his palm was still over my mouth.

"Sorry," he mumbled so low I almost didn't hear him, as he removed his hand from my mouth and stepped away from me. He walked further into the room, giving his back to me.

"What was that for...?" I started asking, but my voice trailed off as I looked around and took in the interior of the room he brought me to, immediately getting engulfed by its opulence. I didn't want to gawk, but it was hard not to. It was like a room straight out of a medieval movie or novel.

The room held so much majesty. But this was real life. It was reality.

It was a luxurious dressing room with a large chandelier hanging elegantly in the middle. The dressing room was filled with elegant gowns

  • A Luna Prize For The Twin Alphas and Their Father    Chapter 16: Get a grip on yourself, Daryl

    Chapter 16:[Daryl's POV]I stood rooted to the spot. Ciara had left my side when she followed Damon out the door to see my mother. I wondered why Mother wanted to see her and what she would say to her. But what unsettled me more was the fact that I couldn't get Ciara out of my mind.I started pacing with my hands clasped behind my back as my eyes darted to the door more times than was normal. It was as though I was expecting her to walk in any second when she had just left the chamber. Maybe she was clouding my mind, and I was thinking about her because Damon was involved. Yes! That was it. It was nothing else, except the fact that I didn't trust my twin brother and didn't want him to sabotage my plans.I clenched my jaw, picturing how she’d left with Damon and the stupid smirk he had on his face like he’d just won the lottery. I had fought the urge to blow his jaw so he could never form a smirk again. I had also fought the urge to dash down to Mother's quarters and bring Ciara right

    Chapter 17:[Daryl's POV]*************Something was off.I couldn’t quite place it, but the second my boots hit the pebble pathway, I felt it in my gut. The courtyard was packed with people. Several Omegas moved fast, carrying baskets full of food, drinks, supplies...or whatever they’d been ordered to carry. A few of them bowed slightly as they passed. I gave a brief nod back, barely paying attention.It looked like preparation for a feast or some kind of celebration, but no one had said a word to me about any event. I folded my arms on my arms as my eyes scanned the busy courtyard. Teenagers were sitting on benches, and some on the tables, chattering excitedly and laughing. In another part of the courtyard, some omegas were rehearsing a dance routine. Others were crafting handiworks. With everything going on, there was a festive feel in the air, like something big was coming.Finally, I spotted Alaric talking and laughing with one of the royal maidens whom I didn’t recognize. The

    Chapter 18Ciara’s POVAs I stormed away from Damon, my footsteps echoed against the cold marble floor of the palace hallway.“Ciara!” I heard him call in a loud voice behind me.I glanced back at him. He was by the doorway of the room I had just walked out of, his hands resting on his waist as he eyed me.“I think you're forgetting something…” he said. “You need me to help you find your way back.”I raised my brows. “No, thank you. I'll pass on that offer.”I turned to continue walking away from him when I heard footsteps behind me.“Let me help you, at least,” he said.I stopped abruptly, jerked backward, and wagged my finger at him.“Stop following me, Damon! Isn't it enough that I have to deal with being around you already? Do you have to follow me like a lost puppy? Huh?” I snapped at him.He took a step back, his lips set in a hard line as he nodded slowly.“You're right. You don't need me to—”“Yes, I don't!” I snapped, already worried that if I spent any more minutes around hi

  • A Luna Prize For The Twin Alphas and Their Father    Chapter 19: Caught Off Guard

    Chapter 19:Ciara's POV Something felt wrong. I shouldn't be here. My legs moved, but my mind screamed at me to turn back. I went down the steps slowly, breathing heavily. Then, leaned toward the maid, and whispered, “What is going on here? Who are these people?”She didn’t respond. Instead, her eyes dropped to the floor as she just kept walking. A lump formed in my throat and I swallowed hard, following her. My heart thudded as I approached the table. The women still hadn't taken their eyes off me, and I could feel the judgment in their stares. I wasn't surprised by how they didn’t bother hiding it.“Who’s she?” someone asked..“She’s the one Daryl brought in, isn’t she?” another voice mocked. “She looks… ordinary.” someone else said. My spine straightened, and I kept my head high, pretending not to hear them. Was there something about me that made me appear different? I didn't know and this was certainly not the right place to figure it out. ‘You can do this, Ciara. Stay calm

    Chapter 20: Ciara’s POVI couldn’t breathe as I rushed down the hallway. My heart was racing, and every step felt like I was dragging my shame behind me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t erase the image of Daryl’s naked body from my mind.He hadn’t even flinched when I barged in. He just stood there, completely unbothered, like it was nothing. He didn't even react like I had just walked in on something I should’ve never seen.Why was I reacting this way? He wasn’t really my fiancé. This whole thing was fake. It was a contract, and nothing more. I mumbled the words to myself, trying to shove the panic back down.I didn’t look back because I didn’t want to know if he was behind me. But then a thought hit me.Wait. He wouldn’t follow me… right? He was still naked.That made me slow down, just for a second. My mind was spinning and in that moment of distraction, I caught my foot on the edge of a rug and stumbled. My hand shot out and grabbed the wall and I tried to steady myself.

    Chapter 21Ciara's POV I stood rooted in the same spot minutes after Daryl had left the balcony. This was what I signed up for, wasn't it? Why then did the idea of showing up at the Alpha feast seem like such a big deal to me? Maybe, it was because I knew that no matter how hard I tried, I could never fit in among the people here. I let out a quiet sigh as I walked down the hallway. When I reached Daryl’s chambers, I pushed the door open slowly and stepped inside. I wasn't surprised to find the room empty. It was a good thing Daryl wasn't here. I didn't know how I'd be able to get dressed in his presence. "Just an hour". I said under my breath, recalling his words. That’s all I had. One hour to myself.“I should get dressed before he comes back,” I muttered, glancing around.Then it hit me. I had nothing to wear. Nothing even close to what was probably expected at something like the Alpha Feast. My stomach twisted a little as I stood there, trying to think of a solution.But nothi

    Chapter 22Damon's POVI leaned back in the chair at the head table where I was seated. My fingers drummed on the table in irritation at my disinterest in the lively atmosphere of the grand hall. My detachment from said atmosphere couldn't be helped.I closed my eyes, bringing back to mind the intense glare of honey-dipped eyes and the fierce fire latched in her soul.Her...The loud music, chatter, and scent of roasted meats couldn't distract me from my thoughts. Thoughts that were consumed by the woman who had been on my mind for far too long.The double doors swung open, and Daryl strode in with Ciara clinging to his side.Ciara...I instinctively sat upright, my insides twisting at the sight. Ciara wasn’t just clinging to Daryl's side—he was holding her. Close. Too close. I went internally livid instantly.The entire hall went still as my eyes carefully took her in and my entire body froze. I swallowed the huge lump in my throat and adjusted in my seat."...What a beauty," Calyx h

    Chapter 23: Who could that be?Ciara’s POVI froze, my eyes widening as I looked up into Damon's blue eyes. My heart pounded in my chest, and I was unsure of what to do in that exact moment... in that exact position.Damon's hand gripped my waist firmly, and I felt his warm, almost comforting touch at my bare back, which made me shudder. "Ahem!" Someone said sharply behind us. It broke the moment, and I was out of Damon's arms in an instant like he'd burned me. I turned to see Luna Eleanor staring at us. Well... at me, condescendingly. And then, everyone else's eyes were now on us... Yeah, me again.My cheeks heated as embarrassment flooded my entire being. Damon leaned down and whispered into my ear."Don't let her make you feel small." His low voice caressed my ear and I turned to look at him, then pushed myself away from him. Before I could stop him, he swiftly grabbed my hand and planted a soft kiss on it, prompting a gasp from everyone.He stared at me under his thick lashes, w

    Chapter 24: Don't you dare!Ciara's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I pulled back almost immediately, ending the kiss as quickly as it began. I was breathless as I felt whoever had just kissed me step backwards. “Who-who are you?” I stuttered, struggling to catch my breath. Silence. I blinked in the darkness, trying to make out the outline of the person before me, but I could barely see. I still stood with my back pressed against the cold stone wall and my heart pounded hard in my chest. That was when I realised that I was alone. Whoever had kissed me had slipped away, and there was no way I'd know who it was. The aftershocks of what just happened rippled through me and my lips tingled with the taste of his lips. I knew that was not Daryl. He was still in the hall when I stepped out, and it certainly wasn't his scent. I knew his cologne too well. It was fresh, clean and sharp like peppermint.But this? It was something else. Something muskier. Woody. Heavy, and very unfamiliar. My m
