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
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 69.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.“Cole,” I breathed out, my eyes wide in surprise ad lips parted in disbelief at the sight of him standing in front of me. “Is…is that really you?” I am trying to convince myself that this might just be an illusion as well—a mind game of some sort to maybe check our mental weaknesses or something, but something tells me this is real.Cole emerged full from behind the trees, approaching me where I stood, his eyes never leaving mine. His expression, there was something about it—something serious, and quite difficult for me to decipher. However, his lips were the usual frown it always held when directed at me. “Esme,” He called out, as he came to stop in front of me, leaving only an arm length distance between us.“Cole,” I repeated once again, my eyes narrowed slightly in suspicion. “Is that really you?” I was struggling this time around to figure out if this is actually real. A part of me, the part deep down I had been trying to ign
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 70.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.I did not know when a scoff escaped past my lips, and the look of disbelief masked my features. Shaking my head, I tried to make sense of his words, but truthfully, there is no making sense out of something like that really. When the scoff died, I held his gaze, “Really, Cole?” I arched a brow, annoyance now filling me as I realized he truly was serious about that. “How could you say that to me? How can you even look into my eyes and ask me to quit the academy?”“It was not a question, Esmeralda.” He stated, his tone firm as he gave me a pointed look, his lips set into a tight line. His stance, it was supposed to be intimidating, just as his voice when he spoke. But, what he did not know is, I am not the same Esmeralda he knew back then that would have cowered due to his words. I used to do that before, but at this moment, I did not feel intimidated by him—not in the slightest bit. “Quit the academy.” He added, his words firm like
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 70.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S PO V."Anthony is the Alpha" Cole stated, as if it was supposed to make any difference, it does not really. "What ever decision he makes is for the sake of the Pack""And what is that supposed to mean?" my brows drew in question, lips tugged into a deep frown as I tried to discern his words. I already have a Inkling on what he is trying to say, I just do not want to believe he is truly saying that. Surely, he is not that narrow minded is he?Cole held my gaze, his eyes cold as they stared right back into mine unwaveringly. "What it means is that if he rejected you for someone else, then it only means one thing.""And what is that supposed to mean exactly, Cole?" I found myself repeating once again. "What possible justifiable reason could there be for Anthony's rejection and to chose a human woman over me?""It means a human is even better than you!" he threw out, hiswords harsh as th arctic cold. "It means you have no value that a huma
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 72.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.The environment surrounding us was no longer day time, it felt as though with the sudden shift of emotions, the air changed as well and our surrounding morphed into darkness of the night, the moon light breaking through the thick canopy, illuminating the sudden swirling mist that rose from the ground. My brows drew in as I took in the mist that appeared out of nowhere, my frown deepening.However, I did not get the time to fully think it through with Cole lunging himself at me. Thankfully, I managed to evade it just in time, and he recovered almost immediately, which is not a surprise because he is the beta after all. I am good, but I have never beaten Cole in the few times we had sparred.He does not spar with me often because he always says I am not up to his level where he would spar with me. The few times I managed to persist him long enough for him to spar with me, I never beat him—not once. He is hella good at fighting, not
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 73.CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.Evil magic has infiltrated the hunting grounds forest.When my magic earlier was blocked, I knew it could not have been some lowly witch or wizard. A normal level witch, or even one of the highest position in the covens could not have blocked my power, they do not have the strength to despite me not being a full witch or wizard whatsoever. How ever, the Lycan blood mixed with that of witches gave me immense power, as a hybrid. No creature can counter attack me.And in the only case where it is even remotely possible for my powers to be obstructed, is when black magic is involved—and I guessed as much when it had happened. I just did not vocalize it because there is no need alerting the Alphas yet. If there is someone handling black magic out there, then it is a threat to all the packs. But unless I get the source, or in this case, what I would assume would be the vessel in actuality, I would keep the information to mys
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 74.CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.I meant it when I said I could not care less about what others would think at the moment really. I could not care less that they see Esmeralda in my arms, or that I am taking her in the direction of my tent—the whole world could be damned really if it means letting them all know that she is my woman, especially at this very moment that she is hurt. I cannot spare any effort when it comes to saving her life really.How ever, as I made a beeline in the direction of my tent, Elias quickly caught up with me, his voice resonating within my mind as he mind linked me so no one else could hear, “Your Highness,” He called out, though calmly but the desperation to knock some sense into me was evident in his tone. “You cannot take her to your tent, there are too many people here. Every one in the academy is here.”“I do not care,” I dismissed, because I really do not. No one comes close to gaining my attention or care when my wom
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 75.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.My whole body hurts. Pain registered in my entire being the moment I tried to get up, or should I say, the moment I regained consciousness. I felt as though a sack of something heavy had been dumped on my body, weighing me down and keeping me from moving. My eyes peeled open slightly, and I am welcomed by the warm light of the candles that was used to light up what seems to be the tent I am in.Wait…tent?I flicked my eyes close once again as I tried to recall the events that happened leading to me being here. I could remember coming to the hunting grounds for an outdoor test, and I could remember going into the enchanted forest for it. I remember fighting the boars, and after it, a familiar face I least expect to be there showing up. My head began to ache as I tried to recollect the memories of Cole, his admission towards my identity and his hurtful words, not to mention, his attempt to ‘end’ it all, by killing me.My brows drew
