2024-11-06 13:40:02Asher's Point of View
I was finally officially mated to Rin—my Princess. The Princess of Dragons. It felt so good to finally call her and to know she was mine.
I could barely contain my excitement as I carried her over the mountains to a secluded spot that no one but my father and I knew about. We would spend the night out here by ourselves, enjoying each other while the rest of the kingdom celebrated our mating ceremony.
Rin was going to be a bit of a handful, I could already tell. She had been on edge ever since she was attacked, but with the arrival of all of our new allies, she was far more relaxed.
With all that had happened lately, there had not been time to spend one-on-one with Rin. Both my Dragon and I were missing it. I grinned, thinking about it. Tonight, I would be taking her many

Christine's Point of ViewAsher and I arrived back from our short honeymoon. It was only one night in the secluded love nest, but there wasn't a lot of sleep happening. I just hoped that I was awake enough for this meeting.The next few days were a whirlwind of activity. Representatives from the Fae, Vampire, and Shifter communities had arrived before the mating ceremony. Now, they were settling in to help with the upcoming conflict.Each representative brought their own strengths and resources. We set up a command centre in a room exiting off the grand hall, with maps and plans spread out across the table. It was a hive of activity, with everyone focused on one goal: defeating the Purists.Only a select few Dragon Shifters, including Asher, his father, Alarik, Sable, and Talon, were allowed
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 18 Supernatural Council Formation
Christine's Point of ViewLights flickered off the walls of the grand hall, casting long shadows across the room. A huge dining table had been set out in the middle of the room. Servants had been scurrying around for ages under the watchful eyes of trusted warriors. We had to ensure that none of our enemies would gain access to this meeting. To add to the security, the Witches and Warlocks had cast a spell called 'Silencium Locus' which caused the room to be completely soundproof.(pronounced: *see-LEN-see-um LOH-kus*)As the last representatives took their seats, there was an almost tangible presence of anticipation. This meeting was the first of its kind and, hopefully, not the last. Today, we would determine the very structure of the Supernatural Council—a group comprised of different species that could change the fate
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 19 Princess In Control
Asher's Point of ViewI didn't know how Rin would handle the first Supernatural Council meeting, but she did it beautifully and with the grace of a future. As the Dragon Crown Prince, I had been raised to lead and to rule, to the point it was second. Rin had not. Even before her brother became the Lycan King, she was not involved in pack affairs. So, to rise to the occasion and demonstrate her natural leadership was remarkable.It was remarkable and highly arousing. We had been in our private chambers for over an hour, eating dinner and discussing everything except the meeting. When we finished dinner, I stood up and took her hand."You were magnificent today, my love. Are you ready to go to bed?" I asked with a coy smile as he led her into their bedroom. I was ready to make slow, sweet love to my mate. My intention was to lavish attenti
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 20 Rising Tensions
Asher's Point of ViewThe weight of the crown had never felt so heavy, and I wasn't even king yet. My father declared war on the Purists, and the Supernatural Council was formed, all within the last week. But instead of relief, there was a gnawing unease that settled in the pit of my stomach, a sense of foreboding that I couldn't shake. The challenges we faced were only beginning.Rin and I sat in Father's office, the silence between us in stark contrast to the storm brewing outside. The room was bathed in the warm glow of the evening sun, but it felt anything but warm. Adriana and Daemon stood by the window, speaking quietly with each other. Their presence was not only a reminder of the alliances we had forged but also of the responsibility that now rested on our shoulders.Rin, my Crown Princess, sat close to me, her hand resting on th
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 21 Cracks in the Purist Armour
Christine's Point of ViewThe air in the throne room felt thick with tension. I sat beside Asher at the long stone table, the weight of our recent decisions pressing on all of us. The room was dimly lit by the flickering glow of the fire in the hearth, the flames casting restless shadows on the stone walls. Despite the warmth of the fire, I felt a cold chill run down my spine. Everything was moving so fast, and the uncertainty of it all gnawed at me.Since the declaration of war, things had only gotten more complicated. The Purists were spreading fear and lies, stirring up old wounds and deepening divisions. They claimed the alliance was a death sentence for Dragons, and more troubling still, they were gaining traction.The disappearance of Council supporters had sent shockwaves through the Supernatural Council members. If only the Puris
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 22 Unmasking the Traitors
Christine's Point of ViewThe wind picked up as we returned to the main weir, whipping across the mountains and carrying the scent of snow and earth. I felt the weight of the conversation in the village settle heavily on my shoulders. We had made progress, yes, but it was only the beginning. The Purists weren't just an external threat. They had planted their seeds of discord deep in our people's hearts, and it would take everything we had to root them out.Asher walked beside me, his expression unreadable, but I could feel the tension radiating off him. His mind was elsewhere, likely turning over the same thoughts running through mine. What more could we do? How many more villages would we visit before convincing them we were on their side? Before the Purists caused even more damage?I broke the silence first. "That elder—his eyes,

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.

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.

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.

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

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
