A Luna for the Lycan King Chapter 32
“This is the future queen, Lady Allissa. Once she is crowned, I expect you all to refer to her as her highness or her majesty. For today, Lady Allissa will be just fine.” Winifred patted my hand with a smile.“We should have a toast to our future queen,” Cleo said, motioning one of the servers over. The server handed us each a drink as Cleo raised hers in the air. “To our queen. May she lead our pack with wisdom and grace.”I wasn’t buying this act at all, and I knew something else was up her sleeves. The ladies all lifted their glasses up, and I joined them. Toasting to myself. To my surprise, the drink was sparkling, with a hint of alcohol. It had a unique aged grape flavoring. “That is our kingdom’s finest wine. Of course you know all about our ancient vineyards as our future queen, right?”And there it was. She wanted to use this moment to insult my intelligence and show how incompetent I was.“I have seen the vineyards from the balcony. I want to take a stroll through them once t

“Here’s the room. The diaries are under the desk in the safe, and the keys are in the drawer.” Cleo held the door open as we walked inside. She stayed there watching as I pulled the key out of the drawer. “I’ll leave you to it. When you’re finished, just lock the diaries back up. We don’t allow them to leave this room. I won’t hover, so take your time.”Lyle watched as she closed the door and then glanced back at me. “You buying this?”“Not at all. I’m guessing she thinks what I read in these diaries is going to change my mind.” I shrugged, bending down to unlock the box. “The thing is, that Darren isn’t my Darren. It’s almost like I’ll be reading about someone with the same name, but it isn’t him.”“That Darren isn’t your Darren,” Lyle said, and I turned to see his small smile. “My brother is a happier man now. His face now shows emotions that aren’t anger. My brother one year ago is not the same man that you know. The moment you met him, everything began to change. Slowly, he is act

“What the hell are you guys doing here?” Lyle asked, relaxing in front of me as he looked at the five other men in the room. “We were given a letter to report here for investigating. Then the wall closed up on us.” I recognized the voice and looked around Lyle to see Ryder. He appeared to be sweaty ... all the men looked sweaty. “Shit, stay back Ryder,” Lyle growled, shaking his head. “You are in pre-rut. All of you are ... what the hell happened?” “Something must be inducing it. The room is coated in Eula gel. That is a reactor when combined with Grananole. Shit ... the drink. The wine had a very sweet grape taste. That had to be Grananole.” Ryder took a few steps back. “You’ve got to get her out of here,” he said, motioning to me. The wine ... the same wine that I drank ... and also Lyle. He looked back at me and panicked, and I knew he was thinking it too. I also could see the sweat starting to bead up on his forehead as a strange, warm sensation took over my body. “I’m marked an

Savage snarls reverberated through the air, drowning out all other sounds. Clumps of fur were ripped and thrown in all directions, a gruesome dance of carnage as blood sprayed through the air. The hungry frenzy showed no signs of relenting, as teeth gnashed and sharp nails raked across fur in a primal display of violence.I wanted to help ... maybe I could use my gifts I got from Darren? But the searing pain brought me to my knees. I cried out in pain. It felt like my stomach was being ripped apart. Everything blurred in and out. The room was muffled momentarily. As my hearing came back, I realized I didn’t hear the sound of fighting anymore. I glanced up to see a pile of lycans laying on the ground. Standing next to them was Lyle’s brown lycan. He turned and looked at me.Our eyes met as I let out a shuddering breath. The pain was like nothing I had ever experienced. I thought Alfred’s infidelity was bad, but this was far worse. I rested my cheek on the cold stone floor, watching as

We had been glued together for three days. Three blissful days of divine exhaustion, heavenly pleasure, and private time that left my body completely content. We had finally parted, and it felt like a piece was missing. I was used to the constant feeling of having him inside me and already I missed it.We slept for hours, until the afternoon sun finally stirred us back to life. I rolled over to look at my incredibly sexy mate to see his concerned eyes were already looking at me.“What is it?”“After a heat cycle, there is a high chance of you becoming pregnant. It isn’t just the constant sex. You’re also more fertile.”I immediately felt insecure. Why was he looking at me like that? Did he not want to have children with me? Was it because he was afraid of passing down his curse? We had talked about children before, and he always said he was happy enough just having me. I had thought it was because of my miscarriage, but maybe there really was more to it.“I already assumed this was a

Darren and I had just finished eating when the door to the dining room opened up.“Lyle!” I jumped up from my seat and ran over to him. I gave him a big hug, ignoring the grumbles from my protesting, jealous mate, gods I love him. But Lyle was becoming someone special to me. As if he were a brother too. He might have started to go into rut, but he was fighting against himself. It wasn’t just for himself and his brother, but for me too. I appreciated him.“You trying to get me killed?” Lyle chuckled, giving me a small hug back. “I know it’s been a few days, but are you okay?”“Yes. Thank you for protecting me. Even when you went feral, you were still struggling and I just wanted you to know I appreciate you.” I watched as he grinned, rubbing the back of his neck.“You are going to make me blush.”“Okay, that’s enough.” Darren’s voice sounded annoyed as he got up from the table. He came up from behind me and I felt his arms pulling me to his chest. He snorted air from his nose in a pouti

Lyle was completely on board with my brilliant plan and everything was ready. Now it was time to invite the guest of honor.“Cleo.” I smiled as I waved her down. I could see her eye twitch, but she plastered on her disgustingly sweet smile and walked over to me.“How are you feeling?” she asked.“Much better now. And after the few days I spent attached to my mate, possibly expecting a pup.” I noticed her eyes widen as she smiled. Her smile now almost looked like a snarl as she struggled with herself.“Well, isn’t that lovely?”“Yes, we are both excited. But you know how you offered to help me before with lessons? I would love it if you could help me today.” I noticed she almost seemed to be gritting her teeth.“No escort today?” she asked, glancing behind me.“I had to ditch him, so we have to hurry. I was hoping you could show me the prison. I know there is a role where the queen is supposed to pardon and read them their last rites. I was hoping you could show me this process.”“I th

“Oh, I forgot. I met a younger boy on the servant stairs. I think it was Cleo’s mate’s younger brother. We need to go find him. He looked upset because he couldn’t find his brother.”“Already took care of it. I had Rodney find him and tell him not to worry, that his brother would be out in a week.” Lyle beamed at me.“Well look at you … on top of things.” I giggled as I looked over the railing. I stared at the setting sun with a small sigh. “Darren has been gone all day.”“I did the best I could, but there are some things that require his sole attention. Plus, he had to speak with Ivan, too.”I pursed my lips together as I remembered the werebear. “There’s a problem, huh?”Lyle came and leaned his elbows on the edge next to me. “We don’t know that for a fact.”“Lyle!” We whipped our heads around to see Tim coming up to us. “You won’t believe this. Darren controlled his temper!”“What?!” Lyle’s eyes popped open wide as I listened intently.“Yes, just a bit ago in his meeting, there was

“The watch is hot, but it was cold when it was first given to me. The heat from the watch is a type of energy, but what does it mean?!” Fury was trying to help me. She was giving me tiny hints the best way she could. I needed to think about everything she had told me. Every word could be a tip.“Gujin is a messenger. Was that his way of telling you the watch is a message?”It made sense. Maybe even Gujin was trying to leave me a clue. I guess neither one was able to tell me anything, which was frustrating, especially when they may have been involved. That would mean that Gujin knew what happened to my father. I know I’m meant to figure it out on my own, because it seems like this is the type of game the gods enjoy.“You know what? One mystery at a time.” I sighed and brushed my hair behind my ear. “So the guards have found some evidence of brainwashing?”“Evidence of ... manipulation. Mind games. Enough that it has convinced my father. He’s with mom now. He decided to talk with her an

AllissaI thought that becoming the queen would make me feel different. But I was still just me. Lyle followed me everywhere and was always helping me. There were a lot of boring things I had to read and sign. I wonder how Darren managed to stay awake. I honestly felt myself dozing several times. Luckily for me, I could blame the pregnancy.“Issy, look, this just arrived from Darren!” Lyle ran to me with childlike excitement.My fingers moved so fast as I dove into the letter. It had been days since I’d heard from him. I felt my eyes watering up. His words reflected exactly how I felt. I wish I could see him … I wish I could hold him. I wonder if he knew I was the queen now? At least I knew he was okay, but it did little to heal the aching pain in my chest.“He’s okay.” I smiled, glancing up at Lyle’s relieved eyes. “Sounds like the battles have been steady. I’ve been so worried—” The tears welled up in my eyes as I held his letter to my chest. I had barely been hanging on. My mate was

DarrenI dragged another fallen enemy across the blood-soaked earth, my body screaming in protest.“Another one,” I grunted to myself, tossing the limp form atop the pile with a dull thud. I wiped the sweat from my brow as I looked over the battlefield. It had been a non-stop onslaught for days. I haven’t even had time to send a message to Ally. I can imagine her blue eyes as she sits in our bedroom. She was probably worried and each day without contact would make it worse. I have been fighting to the brink of exhaustion. Collapsing for an hour or two of sleep and then right back at it.There were so many vampires … many were new. When they took over these towns, those who lived there either became food or new vampires. They were building their army. If that wasn’t enough, the demons who have joined them were also well prepared.I was barely able to catch my breath and another battle would arrive. I surveyed the chaos around me, that had become a frequent sight. In all honesty, we nee

I had no clue who or what I was looking at. A small, delicate person? Or something more like a fairy? The figure was small, no taller than a child, but it radiated an otherworldly power that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Delicate, translucent wings fluttered behind her, her skin as white as ivory. She wore a white, shimmering gown that flowed around her. Her face was impossibly beautiful, with high cheekbones and almond-shaped eyes that seemed to glow with an inner fire. But it was her expression that truly captivated me. A fierce determination and cold detachment that sent a shiver down my spine.The way she was staring at me almost looked aggressive, which made me defensive.“Who are you? What do you want with me?” I demanded, injecting as much authority into my voice as I could muster.“I haven’t decided yet.” Her voice was cold as her eyes fixated on mine.“You haven’t decided who you are, or you haven’t decided what you want with me? I asked you two questions

“Is this really necessary?” I pouted as I felt the heavy robe draped over my shoulders. It was not only heavy, but I felt like I was in a sauna.“It’s traditional. All of the crowned royals wore this robe.” Lyle’s blue eyes sparkled in amusement as I grumbled. “The weight represents the burden of leadership. Besides, you look rather fetching in it. Like a true queen.”“A sweaty, irritable queen,” I muttered, but then a realization came over me. “It’s never been washed … has it?”Lyle boomed out a loud laugh. “No, it’s not washed. It’s only worn for a few hours for the ceremony, and—”“I’m caked in a stranger’s sweat.”“Darren wore it last.” Lyle smirked at me.“It doesn’t have his scent.” I sighed, staring at the mirror. There was still no message from Darren. He knew I would be worried, and I knew he would reach out to me as soon as he could. I knew he was alive, but that was the extent of it. How bad were things for them right now? “It feels weird to be doing this without him here.”

My first night away from Darren was torture. I tossed and turned,missing his warmth next to me. I was so dependent on him. Every day away from him was going to be hard. I knew that, but I guess I wasn’t fully prepared for the loneliness. I was missing a piece of me, and I couldn’t be whole without him.Lyle stayed with me until the early morning hours, trying to keep my mind off Darren. He put on movies and told me stories. But as soon as he left, Darren was all I could think about. How was the battle? Was he resting? Did he get hurt? So many questions, and there was no way to get answers. I had to wait for him to contact me.I looked at myself in the mirror as I finished applying my lip gloss. Today, I was going to be crowned queen. I didn’t look like a queen … I didn’t feel like a queen. I was just me. I wonder if all leaders felt like this?“This is as good as I get,” I said to myself with a shrug, looking at my reflection. I opened the door to my bedroom and there was Lyle, leaning

I was surprised as we walked through the tower. The place was beautiful. It was well decorated and had every luxury. I mean … lock me up with Darren in here and I could stay forever. The punishment of being here was two things: shame and freedom. Other than that, Winifred could easily live a comfortable life here. And maybe that was an option. But if she had been brainwashed, then there was a chance to reunite their family.As we entered the grand room, my eyes landed on a group of maids meticulously cleaning every nook and cranny. The sunlight peeking through the windows was dimmed by the richly colored tapestries that adorned them, casting an eerie glow over the space. The only source of light came from the flickering flames of the fireplace, where Milo sat in a lush red armchair, his gaze fixated on the dancing embers.“Dad, have you eaten anything?” Lyle asked as he approached him. Milo didn’t respond and simply kept staring at the orange glow.I grabbed a chair and pulled it up be

“It’s my father. He’s depressed, and I don’t know what to do. He isn’t eating. Issy. He is taking this thing with mom so hard. I’ve never seen him like this.” I could see the pain in Lyle’s eyes. He also looked tired. I was sure it had been a heavy burden on him, running the kingdom in a time of war.“I’m here to help. I’m not going anywhere. As you can see, the little pup is growing quickly. I think I’m a bit farther along. This happened before I went into heat, even though Darren used precaution. Unless, because we are both powerful lycans, things have sped up?”“All lycan pregnancies are different, but royal pregnancies have always been unpredictable. And you are the true royal … I’m guessing that has a lot to do with this.” I listened as he sighed. “How is Darren?”“Getting ready to head into Catata as we speak.” I pursed my lips together. “I want to be by his side.”“I do, too,” Lyle admitted. “I’m glad you’re here. I can use your help. There is also one more thing … and I hate t

The next few days were busy. They created a new strategy and decided they would head to Catata after the naga arrived. From there, they would continue to push into vampire territory, going in aggressive and hard. They intended to launch a full assault with the sorcerers and fairies, then come in with the muscles. They had created new enchantments for the soldiers and protection spells against the demons, pulling up the old archives of what they used before and adding to them. The element of surprise was now gone, and they were better prepared. Hopefully, this meant no more heavy losses for our alliance.My nights with Darren had been pure fire. His lips touched every inch of my body. He whispered how much he loved me over my skin, as if he were trying to engrave the words on my body. Our lovemaking had always been passionate, but these past nights … there was an urgency, a desperation that left me breathless.“Thinking of me?” Darren whispered as his arms pulled me to his chest.“I was
