KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 20.ESMERALDA’S POV.I ignored him, pretending as if he was not there to begin with and simply focused on the task at hand as he went on to introduce himself—long ass stories I honestly know is nothing but bullshit. I doubt there is anything he can say at the moment that would make me look at him in a good light again.After the long ass stories, we were asked to form a circle and that we would spar each other for a test of strength and agility—apparently he would assess our overall capability and see just how good we are individually.Every group had dispersed to their chosen place of training, already pre determined by the Alphas it appears and he was leading us towards ours. Light chatters filled the air as some that knew each other spoke to each other, and then there is I, at the end of the line, alone with no one to speak to.At least, so I thought until someone from the line moved behind, coming to stand in front of me.“Hey,” Her voice came, slightly cheerfu
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 22.ESMERALDA’S POV.I am not one to hate people—but this lady in particular, I dislike quite a lot. Reason being, she does not know when to stay in her lane and when to get the fuck out of one’s life. I have been ignoring her all this while, hoping to stay as far away from her as possible but she does not understand that concept—picking at Ruby and I at every chance she gets.The worst part? I do not even know a valid reason for her to do so other than the ordeal on our first day—but even I had forgotten that. Should she not grow up and forget it as well? Or is she that jobless? We already have our hands full already.Her lips curling upwards into a wider smile made my hands itch to wipe it away, but I held myself back. There is a strict no fighting rule in the academy—except when you are put against each other that is. Fighting leads to severe consequences as they say, and there is no need for me to risk my admission for her, or anyone else.Still, I cannot bring
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 23.ESMERALDA’S POV.After lunch, the girls and I went our separate ways. Valeria had training she had to go back to, and Ruby wanted to go and rest in her room for a short while as we had gotten the rest of the day off to prepare ourselves for our first test tomorrow.I, on the other hand, decided I could use a moment to myself to have a practice session for I am anything but exhausted. I have too much on my mind, and the only thing capable of getting those thoughts out of my mind is nothing but a brutal training session.I could use the practice as well to prepare tomorrow. We will be made to spar with each other apparently, and though I do not know who I am to be paired with, it is best for me to come prepared for anything for I do not know what I will be hit with.The past few days I had spent in the academy, I have ventured off on my own a couple of times and I have found so many spots I deem private enough for one to train without the prying eyes of the other

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 19.ANTHONYS POV.I feel bad for what happened with Esmeralda. She disappeared after I had rejected her, and no one has seen her since. No one knows that I have rejected, or that she is my mate…or so it appears…it is honestly still so confusing.I know I rejected her, but how can I have two mates at the same time?It is unprecedented, and though my wolf feels Esmeralda is my mate, the bond I have and share with Claire is much stronger. Either way, it does not matter since I had rejected Esmeralda but for some reason, I could not bring myself to tell the others.I am an Alpha, and despite the fact that we are yet to hold the official transition ceremony, even at the Royal Palace, I am now considered the Alpha of my Pack. Our ‘bond’ is not known, but my engagement to Esmeralda is well known.If it is known that I have rejected her, she will not be able to show her face in public again. Again, I do not know why I care exactly, but a part of me felt bad, and some regre
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 16.ESMERALDA’S POV.I am in room 9, and Valeria 11. I do not know who is in room 10 exactly, but I will find out eventually. Both Valeria and I went our separate ways to check out our rooms, promising to meet up later as it will soon be lunch time. We are free to do whatever we want in our free time though, at least, for today we are.“If you want, you can take a look around the place,” Valeria said, as we made a stop in front of my room, as my room came before hers. When I turned around to look at her, she added. “If you need me to accompany you I am right over there,” She pointed at her door, the second after the one next to mine.I offered her a small smile, then shook my head. “Do not worry about me. Just focus on resting. If I do feel like going around, I will find my way around it.” I am not sure I want to step out now. “After all, I might just stay in my room for now. I will have plenty of time to know the place.”“Of course, we will be here for three month
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 24.ESMERALDA’S POV.I do not know what changed. Maybe it is because I now know whom he is truly, or maybe I have always known, and I was just too blinded by my rage and pain to realize it. I am not saying the pain has no subsided. No, it still is there, very much so. I had just channeled the pain into my determination to get over this entirely and emerge as someone none from my past can dare to look down upon.I had channeled my pain into becoming someone I can look at in the mirror, without feeling pity or self loathe for. That is the person I want to become and where I had stored all that pent up pain and anger.Without them evident, and my determination stemming from his words…I felt something change. And maybe, it is not just about his position—maybe it is because he saved me, and I owe him my life. Then again, it may be because he is the one that gave me the will to fight once again, and gave me this chance to be here. Maybe, it is because of the all stated r
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 25.ESMERALDA’S POV.The next day was our very first assessment at the academy, and it is to be held in front of everyone else—all the groups divided and all. I had spent the entirety of the day before on practicing, pushing myself up until the point where I could not take it anymore. By the time I went back to the building, it was around dinner time so I simply got my dinner, before going back to my room to wear off the exhaustion and sleep off.The day of the assessment, we were supposed to show up by six in the morning, and I found myself waking up around 4. I spent the first hour on warm up and last minute practices, before taking a shower a little past five. Once dressed and all, I made my way out—noticing almost everyone is already out. Valeria and Ruby were nowhere in sight—and as per prior agreement, we had decided to all meet up at the grounds simply so I did not bother to check up on any of them.Instead, I stopped by the cafeteria, where most of the peop
