ESMERALDA’S POV.
The moment we entered the academy, Zayde led me to the nearby chairs by the entrance so I could settle down while he went to get a warm blanket for me as we were both wet from the rain. It was as he settled me down did I truly look at him, and took in his features.
He is wet from the rain as well, so his hair stuck to his forehead, giving him a messy look. Even while wet, he still looked good—no wonder most of the women were crushing on him. And without a doubt, I would be on their hate list, despite them not knowing that we are not even friends to begin with.
I mean the man kicked my ass again! How can they suspect there to be anything between us? Come on, they should be logical.
A sigh escaped my lips as I tapped my fingers against the seat while I awaited his return, for I could feel my cloth clinging onto my body, and suddenly, the breeze felt cold. Our body allo

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 30.ESMERALDA’S POV.Blood rushed to my cheeks, and though his gaze was still set ahead, not on me, I found myself looking away in embarrassment, feeling like a deer caught in headlights. My hold around his neck tightened unintentionally, but I happened to realize it quickly so I loosened it, then cleared my throat slightly.“I was not staring,” I lied, trying to save some face for myself. How embarrassing would it be to be caught staring? I already feel shy being in his arms like this, knowing fully well how wrong this is—but it does not change the fact that deep down, I enjoy it.If I dare say, I even forgot that this is supposed to be wrong. Not when I am with him like this, not when he treats me this way.My words had him turning his head around, still walking as he held my gaze, his stern expression not wavering as he responded to my words. “I hate lies the most,” he stated, his tone his usual cold one. His eyes narrowed slightly, and though it did not feel th

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 31.ESMERALDA’S POV.My feet moved forward on their own accord, carrying me in his direction. His gaze remained set in my direction—his expression difficult to read and yet, that unmoving stare made my insides curl. Being under his scrutinizing gaze like that, I felt like a deer caught in head lights, but I did not feel the need to shy or hide away.Instead, a small smile made its way on my face as I went and stood in front of him, then extended my hand out which held his coat, “Thank you for this,” I whispered, surprised my voice came out that low. When I spoke again, my voice was clearer. “And thank you for…everything.”He did not say anything. Instead, he took the coat from me, then dropped it on the couch beside him, uncaring how it landed nor moving his gaze away from me. My gaze followed the coat though, a bit taken aback by how casually he could toss it away like that.Fox fur coats are only worn by the royals, and it is hella expensive and valuable. A norma

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 32.ESMERALDA’S POV.The thought, and quite possible question died in my throat when he removed the pin holding my hair into a bun, and it cascaded down my back, the cold, wet strands sticking to my exposed neck. It did not last for long however, before I felt his fingers running through the hair slowly, and my breath got held in my throat when his fingers, ever so carefully, ever so feathery, touched the nape of my neck.Goosebumps appeared on my skin, the good kind though as small, electric feels run through my body. But, there was nothing bad about it—rather, I found myself yearning for it, for his fingers to brush my skin again.He ran his fingers through my hair a couple of times, almost absentmindedly while I sat there, my breath held in my throat and my fingers fiddling as I waited with baited breath. Despite the vast, massive space of the wing, it felt too small, and I was overly aware of his presence there, behind me, and his fingers right in my hair.Norm

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 33.ESMERALDA’S POV.His lips moved against mine, but there was nothing slow, or soft about it. No. The minute his lips touched mine, it felt as though fire spread through our bodies, my body, as his arms wrapped around me, and mine, around him.He pulled me impossibly closer to him, and in a swift move, I found myself straddling him as our lips moved against each other. His own was dominating, catching me off guard to the point that I was barely able to keep up. Heavy breaths mingled as one, hands moving all around each other, bodies pressed as one and the heat against each other’s skin evident.Every rational sense evaded my mind at the feel of his hands around my body, and his lips on mine. They felt intoxicating—his scent, it overwhelmed my senses. When his hand found the nape of my neck, pulling me closer to him, my back arched against his—my fingers running through his silky hair, gripping it as I kissed him back with every fervor that has been brewing in me.

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 34.ESMERALDA’S POV.Anthony’s face was so close to mine, I could practically feel his breath on my face. It took a second for me to realize the position we were in. He had my hands pinned above me—having stopped my attack—one that he obviously knew and anticipated all too well because we used to practice together back in the pack. He knows my fighting style better than anyone.My eyes narrowed as the position registered in my mind, and I found myself snatching my hand out of his hold. He let go, for deep down I knew I am no match for his alpha strength. Once I have gotten the chance to get away from him though, I took a few steps away, putting a reasonable distance between us while he hoarded the door.Looking around, I realized we are in some sort of utility room where the weapons are kept. It was pretty big though—about the size of our dorm rooms. I took note of the windows there, realizing they are both locked.I turned around to face him, eyes narrowed still.

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 35.ESMERALDA’S POV.I do not know why it suddenly got to me. I had told myself that I will not allow myself to be influenced by anyone from my past anymore—not by Anthony, not my parents, and certainly not my pack. I told myself that I had left my past where it belongs…in the past. However, it appears I was merely lying to myself and that I am not as strong as I anticipated myself to be.For after I had returned to my room in a haste, anger still coursing through my veins with heavy breaths as I tried to calm myself, I close the door behind me, locking it. I made no move to move forward though.No, instead it felt as though my feet were planted in that exact position, and my knees suddenly weakened. The earlier anger coursing through my vein dissipated into weakness, an unexpected one and my eyes suddenly glossed over.Anthony’s words played in my mind, making my knees further weaken and before I realized it, I found myself on the floor. My lower lips quivered, ey

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 36.ESMERALDA’S POV.Perhaps, I am being a bit overly cautious and paranoid, but I could swear when I stepped into the canteen, the air changed.

The light murmurs that accompanied only proved my thoughts.I ignored them, as I made my way towards where the food is. Picking up a plate, I scooped up just the right amount of everything I want on my tray, moving from one night to another till I had got everything to my fill, all the while pretending as if I could not hear the whispers about me—I got a whiff of what the reason for their murmurs is, and to be honest, of all that had happened yesterday, I had forgotten about that part that somehow turns out to be something big for them.Shaking my head, I left the line upon getting everything I wanted, then made my way towards our usual table, not too surprised to fi

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 37.ESMERALDA’S POV.I could not help myself, I am pretty sure the look on my face pretty much spoke for me, but he did not seem to get it and it does not seem as though anyone in the table is willing to break the ice.So, I turned around to face him, my expression yawing black as I found myself asking. “What do you think you are doing?” I asked, my question directed towards the man that has settled down beside me, and as a result of such, his two other friends had settled down on our table as well, wordlessly—one with a grim, blank expression—the same one that dueled with Valeria—his every day look and the other, sporting a small smile—though not entirely welcoming.Then, the leader, the reason behind it calmly seated beside me, quietly eating away his food with not so much as a word or a look after what he had said when he announced his presence. I know there has to be a reason for him to be here, they were never ones to mingle with others before, taking their us

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 106. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. We have lost a number of people because of the battle, one of which happened to be Anthony. We did not realize it until we were going through the deceased, and that was when we saw him. I admit, my heart did squeeze when I saw him, and I felt bad but as the Alpha he was, he had a deserving and well respected funeral back at his pack for him. Elder Aloha Theron was also lost in the fight,and the entire Kingdom mourned not just for his death, but for the death of every single person and warrior that had sacrificed thier life for the greater good. There were mourning days for the fallen wolves, one that the entire Kingdom did in respect for them. And afterwards, the crowning ceremony took place in which my mate, Alexander Malakai was crowned King at long last, and beside him, I was pledged Queen and Luna. He kept to his words, and after the crowning and all, took me to go and see my parents. But even having the position of the

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 105 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.They say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and I have never believe that as much as I did today. All I saw was red as I fought against those guards that wanted to take my life, I have no idea what got into me but I had this need to just end it all, to save my child at all costs.Ruby and Valeria managed to escape as well, and they joined in on the fight just as I was about to be overpowered by the wolves there. They helped me fight Elias to death and even brought a little present to me—the Queen that was in the house and they managed to capture. I took her as bait, and then led us to the battle grounds because after all. She is the root cause of all this. And what is more pathetic is that she is weak. She could not and did not attempt to fight me and if she did, I would gladly pull her dead body there. The ground was cold beneath my feet, but I barely felt it. My heart was hammering in my chest, every pulse a reminder of

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 104 CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.I have been anticipating the battle for the longest time, and I thought I had fully prepared myself for the bloodshed and was more than willing to sacrifice whatever is necessary but I underestimated how I would feel to have some of my people gone as a result of it.The reeking stench of blood filled my lungs. It clung to the cold, biting and arctic air, mixing with the sharp tang of iron and the wet, sickly smell of death. A scent I have gotten accosted to unfortunately.I stood in the middle of it all—bodies of fallen wolves littering the snow-covered ground, once proud warriors now reduced to motionless husks. Blood seeped into the white beneath them, staining the battlefield like a macabre canvas. Their eyes, wide open, stared into nothingness. My fallen soldiers, their lives gone like the wisp of wind for the sake of the throne and the Kingdom. As much as my heart ached at the sight, I knew I could not let it ge

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 103 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. As I tried to wake up, my whole body ached, and my head was pounding almost as if something was being used to hammer it. I tried to move my body, but my limbs were sore and aching while it felt weak as well. I released a breath, then tried to part my eyes open. At first, my gaze was blurry but after a couple of blinking, I managed to clear away the blurriness. That was when I got the chance to fully look around my surrounding and take it in, my mind registering the seeming cell I am held this time around.The cell was suffocating to say the least . Cold, damp stone surrounded me on all sides, the air thick with the stench of mild dew and something more metallic—blood, probably old. It reminded me of the old cell I was held in just a few days ago, and I felt nauseated to be honest. Way too much if I am being direct but I tried to hold it back.There were no windows, just a small, rusted grate near the ceiling that allowed in t

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 102. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. The time it took to reach the safe house this time was much quicker than the last when I came with Kai and left with Elias. True to Kai’s words, as we approached the place, even I could not tell that the cottage was there because he had made it invincible. The moment we got through the barrier though, the cottage was in sight and Elias explained how only we can get in, an outsider would not be able to get past the barrier. Once in the confines of the homey cottage, despite the recluse it offered from everything going out there, the tension in the room was evident stemming from each and every one of us being worried for what the outcome might be. I feel bad rmtowards them all honestly. I know if it was up to them, they would be out there fighting as well but they had to stay back and stay with me. I would have preferred to be out there as well not stow away out here, hiding like a coward. If not for the child I am carrying, a

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 101. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.At this rate, the amount of times things just change within a couple of hours is scary. I have been anticipating the moment of change, and so has Kai but I was still caught aback, and my heart hammered behind my rib cage when Elias’s mindlink came to Kai, that the other side have started moving, and have officially declared war on our side.That was how Kai and I found ourselves getting ready—while he prepared to go out for the war, I was preparing to head to the safe house with Ruby and Valeria. Once fully dressed and all charged, Kai and I made our way out to where the others were waiting, hand in hand. We found out them outside by the tunnel that leads to the safe house, the same Kai and went through the last time we found ourselves there.By the entrance of the tunnel, Elias, Valeria, Ruby, Aloha Kael and Zayde were waiting—the ones I noticed Kai seems to have the most trust in. The moment we reached where they were, thier

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 100. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. “News has it that the other side plans on striking tonight.” Kai said to me, the minute we stepped foot back in our room, after the meeting had ended earlier with plans on attack and defenses, as well as the situation of posts. It was not announced directly, but we all knew that the battle is only a few hours away. Even as we walked back to our room, the tension thick in the air of the castle was palpable. It could be spotted even from a mile away, and it was impossible to miss. There was this cold, looming dark clouds that hung above the place, a testament and holding a promise of the blood that will be shed in a couple of hours. Both sides have drawn up their swords, and it was no longer a matter of familial bonds or that of brothers. It was a battle for a position, a win or lose situation where there is no in between. A slight sigh escaped my lips as I made my way towards the bed, then settled down on it. Kai came to sett

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 99 CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.Truthfully, I have since been looking for a way to avenge Esmeralda for all that she has been through, from those that made her end up in the exact position that led her to my arms. Even without it given how fate is we would have ended up together one way or another, it did not have to be as bloody and costly as it was.So, did you think I would miss the chance to make the people pay? Anthony I let off the hook for that short moment, because he is one of my people and I cannot dispense him without making such of him especially at such a critical moment. His little chosen mate though that he has sent home, upon realizing who she was, I caught while she is on the run—another reason for me to query him later on piling up. That cold air of the dungeon pricked and nibbled at my skin as I went down into the deepest parts of the palace, my boots echoing against the old and wet stones of the pathway. This was where I kept tho

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 98CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.You see, I have always been a firm believer of keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer. Sometimes, your greatest enemy could be right beside you all along. Just as your greatest ally could be right beside you as well without you knowing, or with you knowing. Whichever way it works really.In my case, that ally and foe has been my brothers, the ones that could compete with me should the throne become vacant as it is right now as of this moment. You see, my dearest step mother, Queen Zara has always fancied her eldest child over her second—she had higher hopes and higher plans for her first son and the perfect one, while the second son got ignored and never commended for whatever it is he had ever done.It did not matter if he ever does something good, he would not be commended for it but rather, ignored. So he became the bad one, befitting if the lack of comments and rightfully taking the brunt of her anger
