Author’s POV

Callum sat still with his gaze fixed on the wall, many thoughts kept roaming his head. He saw that look and he recognized it. It is the same one his brother had that made Callum hasten his decision. He should have done a counterattack the minute he had the chance to. Waiting this long will cost him a lot.

One of the elders that had followed him back home noisily cleared his throat. Callum sighed tiredly. “Do you have something to say, Elder James?”

Elder James hummed in response. “I do have something to say and I believe I speak for all of us here when I say your nephew's attitude today was outrageous. Our families have been known to survive with these taxes. He can’t just wake up one day and deprive us of it.”

“Did something happen that we are unaware of? He has never gone against us until now.” The most sensible amongst them Elder Dante chipped in.

“He is just a child after all. You should have taken that seat, Callum. You are a rightful heir just like he is too.”

    Ronan’s POV “You are unbelievable, Ronan. Why would you make such a decision?” Freya questioned. Stretching out my neck, I leaned further into the chair. I thought this particular discussion was over the moment I stepped out of the meeting hall. But as it appears I am in for a long ride. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” She queried stomping her feet on the hard floor. My eyes stared long at her poor legs she was punishing all for nothing. Inhaling, I held her gaze. “I don’t understand where all this commotion of yours is coming from. But this is not your concern Freya. Handle your affairs as the Luna queen and let me take care of mine.” A loud gasp escaped her lips as she stared at me with eyes wide open. One would think I said something sacrilegious. “Are you listening to yourself? You act like you don’t know this thing concerns me. My brother is part of the council after my father died and my family gets the means to survive through these taxes.” “Did I say they won’t get the

    Fiona’s POVI stared at the door longingly feeling guilty and needy at the same time. I know it is wrong to crave his presence this much when I know the situation he is in. But I can’t help it when I have gotten used to seeing him around. Ronan has made it a point of duty to always check on me every day. But he seems to be running late today. Also, I am all alone in the house. Isla needed to get to the market. I sat curled up on the couch that seemed too tiny for me to make adjustments. The door clicked open and my heart thumped in excitement at seeing Ronan. But it fell when it turned out to be the Luna queen. A light giggle escaped her lips. “Someone doesn’t seem too excited to see me.” I waved a hand quickly. “It's not what you think. I thought it was Isla.”“Where is she by the way?” She asked, looking around the house. “To the market,” I mumbled quickly. I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to relax in her presence. Might be my conscience dealing with me. “I would have loved t

    Ronan’s POV Fiona seems to have overestimated her strength. We didn’t even get to run half of the woods before she started whining about her leg. I found it funny. “Why do you keep chuckling to yourself?” She pouted leaning into me as we walked back to the house. I coughed lightly, “I just can’t help it. You were so energized when we were going that I thought the woods would beg for you to stop running.” “It's the pregnancy. Not me.” Fiona defended. Humming in response, I rubbed at her back. “Yes, you said that the first time.” She nudged me in the rib with her elbow. “It’s obvious you are mocking me. I am one of the best runners back in my village. Everyone knew how much I could move on my hind legs. I just feel heavy and weak because of the baby in me.” Isla greeted us shyly as we entered the house. I nodded in response, but Fiona was too busy with her whining to notice her. Dumping herself into the bed, she folded her arms still pouting with tears in her eyes and her cheeks

    Author’s POV“Let me do it, my lady, please.” The maid begged Celine on her knees. The others joined in too. Celine threw her head to the back feeling burdened all over again. No matter how hard she tries to keep Callum's monstrous side away from everyone in the house. His attitude towards her eventually pushes her to start acting mean to the poor maids and her own children. This morning he requested a meal whose ingredients are hard to find. Two of the guards set out to find it as fast as they could and returned about two hours later. Callum refused the meal and eventually pummeled Celine for bringing it too late to him. She couldn’t find anything else to distract herself and had chosen to wash the dishes instead before she lost her mind. Celine inhaled deeply and turned to the maids with a weak smile. “Why are you all begging me like you did something wrong?” “We fear you are angry because the food Elder Callum rejected wasn’t cooked right.” The oldest one amongst them, Dahlia s

    Author’s POVThe room felt stiff and nothing interested Freya. Her mind is everywhere and having to visit her family who are all about themselves stresses her out the most. She blames Ronan for making his latest decision without thinking of the possible effects. Her brother, Levi, is one of the most self-centered people she has ever encountered. It didn’t come as a surprise to her since their father was that way. They were the most delighted about her marriage to the Alpha King. If she wasn’t mated to Ronan, her fate was in their hands. They were already making plans to marry off to someone well-to-do. Freya’s wolf is always restless in her brother’s presence. He seems to have a mind full of selfish desires and nothing more. At least their father randomly worries about her. She has been avoiding him for some time now. However, with Ronan’s decision to end their corrupt earnings. Trouble has been stirred. Levi growled loudly halting her thoughts. “When do you intend to be ever usef

    Fiona’s POVI stirred from my sleep feeling light as a feather. Sitting up gently, I yawn. It seems like I have been sleeping for a long while, I didn’t even know when I slept off. Isla came in holding up a bright smile with a bowl of steaming stew. I can tell it is beef stew causing me to gulp hungrily. She handed me a cup of water, before putting the tray down in front of me. “Did you know I was awake?” I asked after I took a long sip. She sat on the edge of the bed smiling at me. “Not at all. But I had the intention to wake you up. How is the soup?” “It tastes so good!” I mumbled smacking my lips in satisfaction. “The Luna Queen has a really soft spot for you. She came here to check on you and found you asleep. She had left before but came back to instruct me to make a special beef stew recipe for you.” I blushed lightly. “I considered myself lucky.”“Yes, you are. It is sort of rare to see people care for their child-bearers; they are only concerned about the child and nothin

    Fiona’s POVAs tired as my body was, I still couldn’t sleep. My mind kept roaming and I couldn’t get Isla’s story out of my head. Our situation might not be exactly alike, but there is a chance I might end up with the same fate. What would I do with myself? I can always get a job, but how about the emotional trauma that would come with it?It is already hard for me to accept the truth of never seeing my child again. I curled up against myself feeling my belly churn in discomfort. I can’t deny that a part of me melts at the thought of king Ronan. I want to stop the mushy feelings from coming. But I can’t, not when he is being so caring towards me. At first when i had told him about the pregnancy, I thought he hated me with the way he responded. It turns out that wasn’t the case. Whatever it is right now, I would end up heartbroken if i don’t put an actual distance between us. My heart ached at the decision. King Ronan makes being locked up here more adaptable.

    Ronan’s POV My legs wobbled battling against each other as I walked feeling lost. I still can’t tell what is going on. Fiona looked too livid. I tried to reminisce on the last time we were together if i did anything wrong or said something I shouldn’t have. I ruffled my hair, feeling stressed. “Why are you so bothered? Fiona is practically insignificant to a person of your status. Why would you allow her speak to you in that manner?” Dion sounded angry. Fiona was quite rude and Dion doesn’t take things like that lightly. I am supposed to be angered by her words. Instead i am worried about what might be happening to her.Dion growled. “When did you become so nice? She has to be punished or at least made to regret her actions.” Seeing he isn’t thinking in the same direction as me. I decided to shut him out. I didn’t even realize i had bumped into Timon. “Why are you so lost?” He asked in a worried tone. “Do you have some time to spare?” “Yes, i was intending to meet with you.” As

    Ronan’s POVLouis let out his loud childish laugh as I tickled his side. It feels so good to finally get the chance to play with my child. We have gotten closer as it should be. He has stuffed himself with every sweet chewables the party has to offer. I have a feeling Isla would have a hard time putting him to bed.“So sorry, Your Highness. I will take him now.” Isla pleaded.“It is alright, Isla. Thank you. Where is my wife?”“She is getting changed.”“Alright, thank you.”After the usual open ceremony that involved every member of the Nestorian kingdom, Fiona was crowned as the Luna Queen. We returned to the palace to celebrate with a ball, ushering in anyone who desired to attend. Fiona made the most beautiful bride I have ever seen in her wedding dress. I wish we didn’t have to be so engaged in honoring our guests and just have her to myself.“Wow, he is, the man of the hour.” Timon teased sitting next to me.“I have been looking around for you. Where have you been?” I questioned.

    Fiona’s POVI glanced discreetly at Ronan and smiled to myself. He looks much better than he was a month ago. When Lord Timon arrived with a carriage saying we were returning to the palace, I thought it was a joke. I had almost given up on the thought that we would ever get to return since Ronan never seemed to have an answer.When we arrived there was a lot of acknowledgment from the very people who didn’t care to see me. I never knew Ronan’s uncle and didn’t think too highly of him after hearing about all that he did. What I didn’t expect was the situation of Freya. It was okay when she plotted to have me dead, but shocking at her intention to kill Ronan. You never know what people are capable of. Dawn didn’t appear too concerned about the death of her father, but she finally got the chance to mourn her mother properly.I felt sorry for Dawn and Ronan, even though my experience wasn’t as epic as theirs. I do know what it feels like to have the ones you trust to play on your heart an

    Ronan’s POVMy entire world felt like a lie. I still can’t get over everything that Elder Callum expressed. To think I felt guilty for ever suspecting him. All the while I had sleepless nights and battled for my life, he was plotting against me.“Why don’t you go back to the palace, Your Majesty, and let me sort this out,” Timon said.I shook my head feeling a nasty ache making its way to my head. “No, please, I want to see for myself.” I insisted.We were headed for Elder Callum’s house to search properly this time. Even though I still can’t get over the shock of all that he said and his death, I want to get a glimpse of everything. The house was agog when we arrived. All of the maids and guards looked on in fear as Timon and his men searched every room in the house.The remains of Aunt Celine were the first thing that was found. Callum had it wrapped up in a bag and put it into the room she had slept in when she was alive. It was obvious that it was her from the burnt remains of her

  • His Destined Luna   Chapter 177

    Author’s POVThere was an eerie feeling in the air as Ronan moved through the woods stealthily. He could sense some presence behind the thick bushes, and even though whoever it was did try to hide its scent, he caught a whiff of it and it almost seemed familiar. He should have listened to Timon who advised that he took a carriage to meet with his family. But something told him to go his usual route.He halted his steps to listen to be sure he heard right. All of sudden a big wolf matching his frame jumped at him from nowhere sinking his teeth into Ronan’s upper body, but he missed and only got to tear out a bit of his fur. Before he could get a grip on the situation, the attacker pushed him to the ground aiming for his neck vein. Ronan fought hard and gave the wolf a wild kick that sent him reeling backward.Ronan hurried to his feet, gnashing his teeth at his attacker. Just then the attacker shifted into their form leaving Ronan in shock. Callum turned out to be the one behind the wo

    Ronan’s POVSomeone banged recklessly on the door waking me up roughly from my sleep. I have barely gotten an hour of sleep in. My mind has been laced heavily with thoughts that had prevented me from sleeping at the due time. Groaning, I sat up with my back bent. It's actually morning, how long was I asleep?Timon made his way in, bowing slightly towards me. “Your majesty,”“Really? Why would you hit on the door like that?” I questioned.“It was not my doing. Ava was at the door.”“Has she lost her mind? Where are the guards when you need them to do their jobs? Why wake me up so early in the morning?”“It's not exactly morning your majesty. It is way past noon. Are you alright? You don’t look well rested.”I rubbed my forehead, staring intently at the wall. “Something is coming, Timon. But I do not know what it is and my heart is burdened. I couldn’t get any sleep because of it. If anything goes wrong please protect my family.”He sighed. “Don’t be like that, we will resolve whatever

    Ronan’s POV“Where is that bastard?” Levi yelled as he stormed my study.Three guards stood behind him ready to strike at my order. They must have restrained themselves since he is my in-law. I nodded towards them to excuse us. Timon gave me a questioning nod.“What is all this about Levi?” I inquired.“Oh, really? So you do not know what all this is about? Where is my sister, Ronan? Did you have your child bearer skin her alive? So what if she tried to kill her? Isn’t she an intruder in the first place? You should be ashamed of yourself for picking a mere stranger over your mate.” He ranted.I exchanged a confused look with Timon before looking back at the fuming man. “What you are saying now is that you do not see any wrong in what your sister did?”“Yes, and for what it is worth, you are to blame. If you didn’t turn away from her and make her feel unneeded she wouldn’t have gone that far. But what excuse do you have now that she is carrying your child and your child bearer is very

    Author’s POV“Freya?” Callum called out. No response came. He rubbed at his neck in discomfort and moved closer. She was unmoving and blood appeared to be flowing from her head to the ground.He gulped hard and felt her pulse. Callum cursed under his breath at the eventuality of his action. Not only had her breath seized, she couldn’t be revived. Freya was dead. Covering his eyes with both hands, he groaned like a wounded lion. This wasn’t supposed to end like that. The only death he intends to have on his hands next is Ronan’s.His breath hitched at every passing second. Rising to his feet, he took in a deep breath to calm himself. There is no need to start hyperventilating when the deed has already been done. First, he has to get her cleaned up and find a way to dispose of her body, but then it will take a lot of work. If anyone gets to know that the queen is missing, it won’t take long for her to be traced down to him.Callum searched around for anything that would do to stuff her

    Author’s POVFreya gasped for breath like she had been hit in the chest. Nothing prepared her for the murderous look in his eyes. She could sense the irritation in his expression. Her legs wobbled and her lips quivered. Ronan was supposed to be obsessed with her now that she was pregnant. He is meant to cherish her like no other. Instead, he appears to be disgusted by her.She pulled at her hair with shaky hands. A muffled scream escaped her lips, she tried hard to let it all out but nothing came. The tears rolled down her face, almost blinding her. Freya sat still just staring blankly into space. It is as if every time she tries to give Ronan a chance to amend his ways, he walks onto the destructive path.Regret creeps in as she thinks of Callum. He had been the only one who came to her rescue and assured her of a secure future. Instead of making sure their relationship is sealed and they have themselves to count on. She plotted his death. All because of Ronan.The more she thought a

    Ronan’s POV“You didn’t find anything?” I asked Timon for the umpteenth time like my ears had gone deaf.He bowed his head, “I am sorry, Your Majesty. I must have gotten the wrong information.”Ruffling my hair, I sank onto the couch feeling an unexplained exhaustion. I had eventually hurried back to the palace in the hope that Timon would catch onto something. Even though we do have a missing knife to prove that my uncle had something to do with his friend's death, it is not enough to accuse him of killing his wife.Even though it doesn’t sound right, I am beginning to hope he might have a link to the enemy tormenting me. It probably was Elder James. What if my uncle was trying to defend me? Won’t it be wrong of me to be so hard on a person who is more like my parent?Timon dragged a foot on the ground. “Please say something.”I held his gaze, shrugging. “I really wish I could say something to you, but I do not know what to say.
