KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 50.

ESMERALDA’S POV.

To say I was upset would be an understatement, probably the biggest under statement of the year. I have always known that there is some shady stuff going on within the walls of the palace—such stuff happen in packs as well, one can only imagine the hideous things that happen in the castle and the royal pack in general. I do not expect them all to be saints, that would be too much to ask and way too hopeful.

Malakai though…I had hopes in him. I was hoping he would turn out to be different—I was hoping he would at least be the one to enforce change in the kingdom, even if not entirely. We needed to start at one point—but even that seems to be a lot to ask for because it appears, even he has sacrificed innocent lives of others for the same of some greater good he is seeking for.

I get why he did it, I understand. What I am unable to understand though is why he believes risking those ladies lives was worth it, was the sacrifice for the so called gr

    KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 51.ESMERALDA’S POV.My mind was hazy—the feel of Malakai’s lips leaving mine, trailing kisses down the lane down to the middle of my neck knocked the breath right out of my lungs—leaving me to release a shaky breath. Heat pooled down within, growing with every feel of his hands on my body, his lips against my skin, and the feel of his body against mine.My hands slipped behind him to run my fingers through his silky hair, which slips in between my fingers. One of his hand pulled me closer to him, so I was wrapping my arms around his waist while the other slid all around my body, and through that hazy fog, I felt him get on his feet, and move around with me still in his arms.Another moan escaped my lips, which was cut short when his lips found mine again, and his hand moved to rest on top of my bosom, and I feared he would be able to feel my raging heart behind my rib cage but if I am being honest, I honestly could not care less, not at that moment.His hands fond

    KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 52.ESMERALDA’S POV.“Kai…” I whispered, my hands trailing and drawing invincible lines on his naked chest. My face rested on his chest, right where his heart is, ad I could hear every beat it makes—believe me when I say, that is the best feeling there is.He hummed, a deep, low and soft at the same time, grumble in response. His arm that was wrapped around my waist pulling me closer to him, but other than that, he made no other move.I smiled against his chest, then spoke again, this time a bit louder and clearer. “Kai…” I nudged his chest with my index finger. “…I need to head back now.”Kai—a new nickname I had figured out for him, one that I think best fits this best, has become a name that I cannot help but keep calling out. It feels like the best thing to my ears really. It feels almost as though I have been saying the name my entire life, and I now cannot remember a moment in the past where I have not called the name. It felt normal. It felt good.Except, he

    KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 53.ESMERALDA’S POV.I could only grin back, and before he could think of pulling me closer, and seducing me, something I am not entirely against admittedly but still, I pulled myself away from him, keeping a safe distance.“I will go and take a quick shower,” I stated, “To get rid of your scent before going back.” I added, as a matter of fact. Or so I hope really. Thankfully, he has nor marked me, something I did not think I was ready for else that would make it impossible for me to hide the bond between us. For simply mating though, I can hide his scent.“I will conceal it for you,” He stated, his words calm and cool as he stared at me with those cool eyes of his. “Do not worry about others scenting me on you—even if I want nothing more than for those little boys around you to know you are mine.” His tone was serious, and larking any hint of amusement but a tad bit of annoyance and jealousy dare I say. Even his eyes hardened at the mention.“Who exactly are you r

    KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 54.CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI (KAI) LUIS’S POV.Esmeralda is perfect—in every sense possible. She is too perfect even, and I cannot possibly imagine what my life would be without her in it in the future. In fact, at this very moment, I am wondering how I managed to live all these years without her. It seemed as though I have been living in darkness, and only now that she has showed up, am I finally seeing the glimpse of the light.She is perfection—no doubt there.I love her. No, love is an under statement. Love is too small a word for me to describe the feeling I have for this woman—my woman, my Luna. I have always known that I would cherish my mate—I have grown up and seen the people around me with their mates, how loving their relationship is and no matter how strong a beast is, we are still but hollow, lowly beings without our mates by our sides.It is well known for centuries that mates makes us stronger than anything. Yes, they are our greatest weaknesse

    KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 56.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.Separating from Kai was a struggle, as it proved to be initially but I managed to do it—just as I had managed to get him to conceal my scent because I know he was thinking of going back on his words. I admit, as much as I would love for everyone to know I am with him, I still will not allow those thoughts to ruin the plans I have for myself. This is something I have always wanted, and I will not let it go just like that.So, after he had concealed the scent, he reluctantly let me go back with Elias to the Academy. I admit, the feeling of missing him settled within me the very moment I was away from him, but I pushed it aside, knowing he would definitely find a way for us to meet at the academy. I just have to make sure he does not become a distraction to me.And as for Elias, well I cannot remember a moment in the past where he was not particularly welcoming, though he always seems to hold up his usual cold expression that makes h

    KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 57.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.“Is it because of how fast his father crowned the new Queen? Or did the two have some sort of beef?” I found myself asking—looking for a way to understand this entire thing. Every one knows the story of how the King quickly crowned a new Luna after the late one passed on. There has too many controversies regarding that from the other packs—because of the traditions that were disrupted. Normally, there is supposed to be a three years mourning period before a new Queen is crowned—despite the fact that a Luna Queen is a crucial figure to the Kingdom.There is not supposed to be an empty position—at least, not a position as important as the Luna Queen, especially not when the late Queen was known to be the King’s true, fated mate while this current Queen, is his chosen mate—not a second chance. Spot the difference there.So, it was very much expected that he would go through the mourning period before he thinks of crowing a new Queen.

    KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 58.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.One thing I have realized about the palace and the academy as a whole, is that there are too many tunnels unknown to the others and only known to a selective few. I will not be surprised if it is only known to Kai and his people—he seems to be more capable than I had anticipated before really.Elias and I once again, just like the night before, went through a different underground tunnel through the forest, and walked through it for a while until we eventually reached a door then. And when we stepped in through the door, not so surprisingly, we ended up in the academy—to be specific, the library. Elias stepped in first, surveying the place to ensure that no one is there before he gave me the go ahead to come out.No words were exchanged between us, aside from the head bow in my direction—a silent sign of acknowledgement. I offered him a smile in response, before I turned around and walked out, as if I had been there to study somet

    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

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

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

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?

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
