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. Not in a domineering way that commands everyone to turn around and look at you type of way, but in a I could feel some people’s gaze on me—and it was judging. 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 38.ESMERALDA’S POV.“The blood moon is coming up this Friday night! Can you imagine spending a blood moon while at the royal Kingdom? That is so cool! I am so excited really.” Ruby gushed, as the three of us are taking a stroll down the academy grounds after yet another brutal day of training.We are now training all together unlike the last time we were divided in groups, however, this week, Alpha Lysandra and Alpha Kael took over the reigns of teaching, and dare I say, they are brutal in their trainings.Valeria’s response came, in a less excited tone compared to Ruby, as expected to be honest as usual. “I am not sure about excited, but I do know my body is sore,” She mumbled, stretching her arms in front of her to get rid of the aforementioned sore, and possibly cramps.I nodded in agreement, getting muscle cramps which I am trying to get rid of as well. Whose idea was it please to make us train with both Alpha Kael and Alpha Lysandria in the same week? After o

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 39.ESMERALDA’S POV.I tried to not let our conversation dwell on my mind for long. The fact that Malakai…no, the Crown Prince would find his mate at the blood moon night made my heart clench in ways I could not explain, my mind still reeling from the passionate kiss which we shared.I have tried, believe me, I have tried to ignore it and push it to the back of my mind but it is not as easy as expected, not when in every little thing I do, my mind finds itself clouded with thoughts of what had transpired, and I find myself yearning for him, yearning to see him, for his gentle ways, and his not so obvious humor.It did not help the fact that I have not seen him since that day. I do not know if he was not in the academy entirely, or he was and was simply choosing to ignore me. Then, I told myself that I am probably overthinking it—I am not important enough for him to ignore me heck, I am not important enough for him to pay any attention to.After all, I am just a tra

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 40.ESMERALDA’S POV.The time for the event to begin is six pm. So, by that time, everyone was pretty much expected to be in the castle, at the ballroom where it will be held. For us trainees, it is the first time that we would be there, being able to step foot in the castle so a lot were looking forward to it. I, on the other hand am not too enthusiastic, and was just hoping we could get the night over and done with.Heck, if it was up to me, then I will not attend to begin with but we were all instructed to be there so, there is that. So, about ten minutes to six, I stepped outside the dorms, where most had already either departed or were just coming out as well, just to be met with the sight of Zayde, already there waiting for me.The moment I spotted him, I gave him a quick onceover, taking in the outfit he had picked up. The ever so classic look by all the men, a black suit. Only, he was missing the suit jacket and instead, wore only the white dress shirt with

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 41.ESMERALDA’S POV.It was just as Zayde and I had spotted our designated table, where our friends are and had made our way towards it. Zayde, like the gentleman he is feigning to be tonight, pulled out my chair for me, which I thanked him for before settling down while he took his seat beside mine. However, before we could even get comfortable in the seat, and just as my gaze had met my friends and I offered them a warm smile, which they returned, the announcement came, getting all our attention.“Welcome, Their Royal Highnesses!”Everyone, of no matter which position or level, all rose to our feet, pushing our chairs back in the process. It was not until we had all rose on our feet uniformly, did they make an appearance, the air shifting almost immediately to signify the arrival of those of the highest influence in our world.The King, Luis and his wife, Queen Zera, showed up first, hand in hand, adorned of the most intricate and expensive outfit there is to be,

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 42.ESMERALDA’S POV.We were given the permission to settle down, and so we did. Everyone gracefully settled back on their seats comfortably, and as the gentleman I still believe he is feigning to be, Zayde helped push my seat a tad bit forward so I would be comfortable before he settled down on his seat.I offered him a small smile, then whispered a ‘thank you’ under my breath.He offered me a small back, his expression mirroring mine. “You are welcome.” He whispered back, then settled down on his own seat as well, pulling it forward a bit so he would be comfortable while every one else did the same, making ourselves comfortable—or as comfortable as one can be in front of these royals anyway.The night started out with a little speech about the history and importance of the blood moon night in the Lycans and werewolves alike by one of the oldest council members, which eventually transitioned into a ground for the King to say a couple of words. He kept it short, ba

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 42.ESMERALDA’S POV.I have never been much of a dancer, though I liked the idea of it. However, Anthony was never a fan of it—even when it comes to dancing for official purposes like the waltz and stuff—he always stays out of it. So, back in the days when I used to accompany him to occasions where such dance would take place, I would always be by the side, watching as the others go about it.I admired them, because most times, they seemed to be having fun. I wondered what it would be like for me to dance like that as well, with Anthony, as someone that I love. Now, I am finally living in that dream and fantasy, only, I am not dancing with Anthony for he had long faded out of the picture, and was instead, dancing with The Crown Prince, Alexander Malakai—someone I have feelings for, feelings I know deep down that I should not have.However, those worries and insecurities seemed to perish as we danced together on the floor, every one and everything else in the backgr

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
