2024-10-29 19:42:56Adriana’s Point of View
It took a few more days for all the Alphas and Council members to finally leave. The only Council member remaining was Sebastian, and he would be staying here long term. Now that the packhouse was empty, the builders moved back in, in force, and renovating began in earnest.
Daemon's construction company was enormous, so the original team of builders continued renovating the old packhouse. Another was constructing chalet-style cabins to house all the Royal Guards and potential family members. These were situated next to our current house. We decided this would definitely be our permanent home as it was much larger than the old packhouse and frankly looked more regal.
A third team was building guest houses since it was likely that we would have many visitors. These were situated closer to the packhouse but still

Adriana’s Point of ViewIt was three months since Daemon was recognised as King. During that time, we had continued to train hard. Adam and Daemon were worried about the Red Devil and Half-Moon packs, but Adam had a few ideas about what we could do about it. He met with Delilah and Sebastian to discuss his ideas.The Council of Alphas were cooperating with the witch's Council to investigate where Kree might possibly be hiding. Despite working tirelessly, their efforts seemed to be in vain as Kree's trail grew cold. They even consulted seers to see if she could be found. The answers were all the same - Kree would attack the Royal Pack within the next six months, and the outcome could not be determined.Delilah, Pania, and Amiria continued their work in fortifying the pack boundaries, ensuring that not even the slightest hint of Kree
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 2: The Lost Princess - Ch. 59 Allies in Training
Daemon’s Point of ViewFor the next few weeks after the attack, the two rogues Wilson and Carlisle had captured were interrogated. I had promised Adriana that we would not torture them, but we weren't going to treat them like guests. They would answer my questions truthfully, or I would use my aura to force them.Before questioning the rogues, Amiria cast a spell that would conceal the rogues as if they had died. That way, Kree could not sense that they were still alive. I was dubious as to whether this would work, but we needed the information, so I went along with it.During questioning, I found out something interesting about my Lycan."I don't know where Kree is," one of the rogues flippantly answered.For some reason, I knew he was lyin
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 2: The Lost Princess - Ch. 60 More than Just Wolves
Daemon's Point of ViewToday's meeting was in our new offices at the packhouse. Since moving into our new house on what was the Silver Wolf Pack lands, the overall plans for the original packhouse had changed. All of our offices and a new meeting room were downstairs, with guest quarters on the top two levels.Adriana, Perry, Tyler, Charlotte, Adam, and Delilah were discussing how well the interpack training was going when one of the guards at the gate mind-linked me."We appear to have visitors. I think we should all go and meet them," I explained to the team. "They are asking for Adriana and I, and they are not wolves.""If they are not wolves, what are they?" Adriana asked, to which the rest of the group echoed their curiosity."The guards didn

Tyler's Point of ViewWhen I walked down to the gate, I felt something strange. My wolf, Echo, was jumping around in my subconscious and was either agitated or excited. I couldn't tell."What is wrong?" I asked him."Something's happening! Something important! Something!"Some help he was. I decided to ignore Echo and concentrate on what was happening. It was difficult even to focus on that because there was this amazing smell. I couldn't help but sniff the air, setting Echo off again.Daemon seemed to notice how unfocused I was, and he definitely saw me sniffing the air. "Is there a problem?" he asked.I shook my head, partly to dispel Echo's jumping about. "I don't think so. There may be bears and large cats, but there is something else. Something different, but doesn't feel bad.""Keep your ears, eyes and nose open, then. Let me know straight away if you sense something wrong. With Kree still out there, we can never be too careful," Daemon replied.Daemon's words snapped me back t
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 2: The Lost Princess - Ch. 62 To Trusted Allies
Tyler's Point of View"You are my mate, and I have been waiting a lifetime to meet mine. I also honour the Moon Goddess and cherish the mate bond she grants us," she answered.I had been waiting my adult life to hear these words. With a mixture of relief and excitement, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Avril was willing to give this connection a chance. Echo's jubilant howl echoed in my mind; his excitement finally matched with a sense of relief.Meanwhile, Echo was practically doing cartwheels of joy in my subconscious. His enthusiasm and excitement were palpable, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of hope and anticipation.As we continued talking and getting to know each other throughout the meal, the initial tension dissipated. Our conversation flowed easily, and we discovered common interests and shared experiences. The more we spoke, the more it became evident that we were two pieces of a puzzle meant to fit together."Before we can explore this bond between us, we
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 2: The Lost Princess - Ch. 63 More Allies Part 1
Adriana's Point of View"The Fae, Avril, is Tyler's mate," Daemon mind-linked me."Is she? Oh, my Goddess!" I gasped in astonishment as I processed the revelation. The bond between a Fae and a wolf shifter was exceedingly rare. The only known one was the original Silver Wolf Pack."Do Fae feel the mating bond?" I asked Daemon."I'm not sure, but I know they worship the Moon Goddess, among other deities," he answered.I hoped for Tyler's sake that Fae did indeed feel the mate bond or wouldn't reject him. Any bond should be considered a sacred connection in our mystical world. At least Tyler would get to work alongside Avril, allowing them to get to know each other.Daemon stood and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, once we have finished our early lunch, I would like for us to have a meeting. Unfortunately, the renovations to the packhouse are not fully completed, so I will arrange for cars to take us to our home office."Based on the murmurings, the general consensus was that everyone
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 2: The Lost Princess - Ch. 64 More Allies Part 2
Adriana's Point of View "We have more visitors," Daemon announced. "They are both Alpha and Witch council members," explained Delilah. "They have come to join in and fight." There was a cacophony of noise from both our own and the visitors. It was so noisy I could barely hear myself think. "Enough!" boomed Daemon, resulting in immediate silence, for which I was grateful for. I didn't know why the Council of Alphas or Witch's Council had come to join in the fight, but given Kree's potential power, I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. While our spies informed us that we still outnumbered them, our enemies still had the potential to cause a lot of damage and death. Delilah, Sebastian, Daemon and I drove down in one car to the gate to greet the new visitors. The entire Witch's Council, which comprised of thirteen witches and warlocks, were waiting at the gate. Delilah explained that Pania, Amiria and she were representatives in that they dealt with people on behalf of th
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 2: The Lost Princess - Ch. 65 An Unlikely Connection
Adriana's Point of View "It appears the escaped prisoners have been accounted for," I announced to the occupants of our makeshift office. All eyes were on me with that comment, and given the look of confusion, I needed to elaborate. "Our scouts, who were keeping watch over Kree's camp, have indicated that around fifty rogues and a couple of witches have joined her camp." "You know where they are?" asked Roderick. "Yes. Yes, we do," I answered, "and we were about to discuss possible tactics and strategy." "Knowing where they are and going into battle are two very separate actions," said Daemon in support. "We want to determine where and when we attack them. We want as little casualties on our side as possible." Everyone nodded in agreement, so Daemon took it as an opportunity to get his map of the area and lay it on the dining room table. "Here are the combined borders of the Black and Silver Wolf Packs, which now make up the Royal Pack. This small area between the two packs has

I hope you enjoyed that short story. It was rather important because it was the beginning of the Supernatural Council, which is mentioned in Book 4.Book 4: The Gamma and her two Alphas follow Princess Lucienne and is set just over 18 years into the future. Lucienne is not entirely happy being a princess and certainly is not all ladylike like her mother, Queen Adriana, wishes she was. In fact, she can be a bit of a rebel at times and pulls no punches if you piss her off. Book 4 has been started and will be posted starting January 2025.Check out my I*******m page (nikoradepressedpoet) for pictures of the latest covers. Each book will be available in paperback. I am rewriting parts of Book 1. The covers for books 4 and 5 are already designed.
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 30: A New Dawn
Asher’s Point of ViewAndreas fell to the ground, crumpling against the cold tiles, his body barely clinging to consciousness. The fury in his eyes was still present, but it was mingled with something else—fear. “You may have won this battle, but there are others who believe in the purity of Dragonkind,” he rasped, his voice barely a whisper.His words hung in the air, a twisted echo of the truth he could no longer deny. The irony was palpable; he had sought power through a dark alliance, yet he spoke of purity as if it still held weight. He had traded the purity he claimed to uphold for power, and now, even that was slipping through his fingers.Father stepped forward with the Council behind him, his expression one of grave disappointment. “Andreas, you and your father have sown discord among our people and disgraced your family name. T
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 29 Clash of Fates
Asher’s Point of ViewMy Dragon and I were enraged by Andreas’s words describing our fated mate as a dog. Rin placed her hand against my arm, its muscles tense and coiled tightly, fists clenched in anger. Her gentle touch acted like a soothing balm, softening my clenched fist.Slowly, I felt the anger beginning to dissipate, the pressure easing as I relaxed under her calming influence. The contrast between my earlier state and this new sense of peace was palpable, reminding me of the power of our bond. There was nothing Andreas could say that would make me turn against Rin. I would rather lose my crown than be without her.The tension in the council chamber was electric as Andreas continued to spew venom, his arrogance infuriating. I could feel the Dragon within me thrumming, eager for a confrontation. “Enough!” I
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 28: Truth and Treachery
Christine’s Point of ViewThe air felt thick in the chamber, as if the magic that summoned Andreas and Viggo hung around, binding us in an unseen net of tension. Viggo’s face was drawn tight, his eyes flickering with a dangerous mix of fear and rage. At the same time, Andreas’ expression remained cold and calculating. His eyes darted around the room, assessing, scheming.Andreas recovered first, straightening as if pulling on an invisible cloak of authority. “What you claim is… nonsense,” he panted, glaring at Eiríkr. Fighting the compulsion to tell the truth was taking its toll and making him sweat. “I’ve been… nothing but… loyal… to our kind. This… is a… farce!” He was panting now from the sheer exertion.Asher stood tall next to me, his ha
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 27 The Unraveling Web
Christine’s Point of ViewWe slowly made our way back, twisting and turning through the enchanted passages to the awaiting Council Members. Asher had already mind-linked his father, who assured him they would be waiting. We weren’t the only ones who had news since the archiver from the Council of Witches and Warlocks had found some interesting information.The Council Chambers buzzed with a quiet intensity. Though our alliance remained steadfast, the growing unrest among the Dragon-Shifter populace threatened everything we had built. Outside these walls, whispers of dissent were rising, fueled by fear of change and manipulation by those who sought to close our society once again.Asher stood beside me, his expression grim as he explained what we found in the books. “While we have nothing concrete at this stage, if we do
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 26 Secrets of the Past
Asher's Point of View"So you think he's using his own son as a pawn?" Adriana asked.Her question was answered, "I think Viggo would use anyone—blood or not—to get what he wants." I agreed with Father. This was part of the reason why I didn't want much to do with my uncle, aunt, and cousins.My grandfather had forced Father and Viggo to take chosen mates, ones he thought were acceptable for the Royal Family. Both were well-educated, refined women from noble families.My parents had at least fallen in love eventually, even if they weren't fated mates. Father had never met his fated mate, or at least, that was what he had told me. When my mother, Áslaug (AWS-lough), died, he was heartbroken but still able to function.Viggo
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 25 The Gathering Storm
Asher's Point of ViewThe council chamber felt colder than it ever had before. No matter how many fires roared in the hearths or candles flickered against the heavy stone walls, a chill seemed to seep into my bones. I couldn't put it entirely down to tiredness, even though I was exhausted fighting two battles in such a short time.No. It was a combination of many things. Andreas' smirk, the flames from the explosion, and the insignia of the Purists haunted me as I sat at the table, my hands clenched so tight that my knuckles were white.Rin sat beside me, her expression hard but eyes betraying the same exhaustion and worry I felt. It had been hours since we returned from the first fight, but with the second battle, we hadn't had a moment to breathe. There was no time for rest when the Purists were gaining ground. My cousin, Andreas, was
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 24 Flames of Betrayal
Asher's Point of ViewAs soon as Rin and I returned from the marketplace attack, we called for an emergency council meeting. The tension in what we now referred to as the council chamber hung in the air, thick enough to cut through.The servants had been busy changing the room. It was now a place of stark contrasts. Ancient banners from each species hung from the high vaulted ceilings, their vibrant colours dulled by the weight of war. The air smelled faintly of smoke and iron, a reminder of battles past and future.Every seat around the grand, circular table was filled. Dragons, Wolves, Vampires, and the Lycan King and Queen united under one roof. Yet, for some reason, it felt as if we were all divided by the constant threat looming over us.The Purists were growing bolder, and tonight
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 23 Shadows of Resistance
Christine's Point of ViewThe days that followed were a whirlwind of activity. We launched joint patrols, organised public gatherings, and ensured that every species—Dragons, Wolves, Vampires, Fae—was represented. It wasn't easy. There were still plenty of sceptical people, glares, and whispered doubts. But slowly, I began to see a shift.In the streets, I saw Wolves patrolling alongside Dragons. Vampires and Fae worked alongside Dragons in the markets to keep the peace. It wasn't perfect, and tensions were still simmering beneath the surface, but it was progress. And I started feeling hopeful for the first time in what felt like forever.Asher and I stood on a balcony overlooking the domed city one evening, watching as the lights of the stronghold twinkled in the darkness of the weir. The air was cool, carrying the scent of snow from ou
