KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 61.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.The moment the two sported me, which was almost as soon as I did, a smile that mirrored mine took over their expression—and Ruby as always being the chirpier one amongst us three was quick to raise her hand and wave me over, her grin contagious. My own smile widened as I hastened my steps to reach where they are, and once I was within arms length, Zayde took off his hand on my shoulder, taking a step back as Ruby was quick to pull me into her arms.“Hey you…” She called out, her voice softening before she pulled back, though her arms remained on me as she gave me a onceover, her brows drawn in and lips slanted into a slight frown. “…are you okay? You doing well now? How are you feeling?” She threw the strings of question, one after the other before I could even think of answering one or even getting the chance to do that.My smile widened, my heart swelling with relief in knowing I at least have people that look out for me, and th
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 62.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.Apparently, the Crown Prince has always had the tradition for going hunting the day after the blood moon night, though it has always been a private activity of his with a few selected guards. This year however, he asked for the academy students to join as well—and in the process, we would be tested on the hunting grounds. They said this is unforeseen, considering how the Crown prince apparently likes his alone moments especially during hunting but well, here we are.I had my questions regarding it, but there was no time for me to ask Valeria really. Not when we were given a short time to get ready, to pack the essentials we would need to stay overnight even though they stressed the fact that everything we would need will be there, and get our bows and arrows, for it was apparently the only that is allowed for us during the hunt, and as soon as every had gotten his or hers, we were led to the hunting grounds by the seven Alphas in
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 63.CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI (KAI) LUIS’S POV.I started to miss her the very moment she left—I was practically yearning for her presence. I thought I would be able to handle it, but with every moment, every moment and every minute that passes by, I find myself yearning for her—yearning her for presence, yearning for her touch, and yearning for her in general.I was so caught up in everything going on between us that I forgot to inform her of the hunt I am supposed to leave for over night. I eventually came up with a reckless I admit, plan but one that would keep me from missing her the entire time I will be away. I made the decision on a whiff, but I was very much aware of it when I asked Elias to inform the Alphas that the test for the day will be carried out in the hunting grounds—and that the entire students would accompany me.If Elias had any questions about the sudden decision, and I am sure he does, he did not show it. If anything, the look he gave me
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 64.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.“You may all rise.”I took a minute to get a hold of my emotions, his silence eerie following the statement and for a second I wondered what could be the reason for his sudden silence. I eventually yawed my gaze in his direction—only to sport the frown that had marred his features, and my own expression mirrored as I wondered what could have gotten into him. His gaze met mine for a split second, and the silence dawned once more to the extent I could tell every one became a bit bothered by it—because no one truly knows what is going on through the Crown Prince’s mind.He looked out, breaking our eye contact, and then his parted as he finally spoke—putting everyone’s worries to ease. “I am sure the Alphas have already explained the situation to you,” He started once again, his tone firm, and cold. His ever so usual tone—except while I usually find myself intimidated by it as well, today it felt different. “Today, your abilities will
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 65.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.Illusions, I reminded myself. They are all illusions and so, their true forms remain unknown. But unlike the first time when the elk turned out to be a rabbit, I might not be sure the boar’s true forms would be an easier form. Not to mention, I am surrounded by them. My best guess is, without shooting them down, despite being illusions, they bear the same strength as the boars even in this state.So, I should not underestimate them.Not to mention, the forest was playing tricks as well. It felt as though it was closing in on me, and the sun was about to set—setting an unsettling feeling within me, one that sprouts into the thought of me quite possibly being late, and might just fail given I have barely done anything, and it the time is over already.Except, I know deep down it could not be. Illusions, I reminded myself once again—everything here is an illusion. With a newfound determination and with the boars stalking me with a pr
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 66CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI (KAI) LUIS’S POV.I have magical powers beyond that if an ordinary beast of a lycan. Being a lycan and being a royal at that cones with its perks, to be particular more powers than any other average person. Excoet, aside form that, I have other powers.Magical powers. But aside from those close to me, there are only hear says about my powers and nothing definite. I have eventually learnt how to morph my lycan powers and my magical powers undertge same guise to the extent that those around me cannot differentiate which is which. Or spot the oddness of it.Amongst that is my ability to set the hunting grounds to become an enchanted forest for the tests to be conducted. I had personally designed the tests there as well as the morphology of the enchanted forest so I am ware of everything that is going on. However, for the sake of transparency, I decided to showcase the happenings of the forests all other instructors could see, since I
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 67.CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI (KAI) LUIS’S POV.Alpha Ezra’s words were simply like a casual remark, but each one of us could tell it was an indirect jab at Anthony—it was as easy as that. Being aware of the bond that once existed between Esmeralda and Anthony, and the fact that it has already come to an end does not mean they will not care about it.Academically, the rules of the academy does not apply in situations where there is a mate bond, and in most of the cases where this is involved, the female wolves usually chose to drop out and follow their mates—even if there have only been a handful of cases as such.The case here is, though Esmeralda is the one taking the brunt of it by getting mocked and all, she has an advantage being in the academy compared to the other she wolves that have encountered such. Why? Because the fact that she is here means she will be known for one thing or another—and mostly it is for the good cause. Any she wolf that manages to
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 68.CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI (KAI) LUIS’S POV.A surge of pride filled me in, taking root from the knowledge that my woman left such an impression on them all. And another of satisfaction stemmed from the look that took over Anthony’s face—from the obvious look of fury that masked his features, down to the emotions which he conceals—the traces of fear of what he would encounter as a result of his stupid decisions, and another emotion I certainly hope I am mistaken to see flash in his eyes.Longing. Longing for her. The damn son of a bi—“It is still too early to foretell how the result will turn out to be,” Alpha Kael’s voice came, indifferent as usual and barely speaking unless when necessary. “So far, most of them are making a good advancement but I doubt it would be for long.” He added, his tone knowing as he stared at the fog like screen—but I did not miss particular direction his eyes strayed to, lingering a bit longer than it is supposed to.My brows dr
