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
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 76.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.“What do you want, Anthony?” I asked, my tone blank as I settled back on the bed of the tent I woke up in with his help, which to be honest I am not so happy about but my body feels oddly weaker than I expected, and it does not seem to be getting any better though it has only been a couple of minutes since I woke up.Anthony instead of replying, picked up a bottle of water which I did not notice earlier, popped the cap open for me, and then handed it out quietly. I retrieved it, my throat parched as I tilted my head back and downed the liquid without any worries of him poisoning me or something. I know he can, but I know at the same time that he would not—not in this very moment.Why? Because there are too many people here, and almost every one saw us coming into the tent together. It is not a fact I am entirely proud of, but we would definitely need the privacy to talk, and the fact that our mate bond is already known by all, at
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 77 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. I have no idea how long Anthony remained seated in that position, simply staring into space and letting the information all dwell on him. He seemed beaten, as if he had lost his entire pack or some thing else he worries about, and there was no ounce of faking it in his expression. I know Anthony, if he is faking it, I could see right through to him and I have no doubt in that exact moment that he is not faking it. I sat in silence as well, and we silently mourned what we lost in our own ways. In my own, I feel as though I am finally getting the closure I wanted, while Anthony is just beginning to process it entirely, and might end up doing so for the longest time even. I am not sure what position our relationship is at this moment, but I would like to believe we have come to the end of him plotting against me or what ever stupid notions he had in his mind up until this moment. A while later, dejectedly, he got in his feet, nearl
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 78 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. It has been two weeks, two weeks since the incident with Cole happened, two weeks since the test at the enchanting forest, two weeks since Anthony and I seemed to have grown a mutual agreement to stay out of each other’s lives with no malice whatsoever, and two weeks since Kai started acting weird. At first, I thought he was just trying to hide our bond, since I heard it was quite a scene when he found out I had been attacked. From what I heard, he nearly had the entire test stopped and stopped the Alphas from searching for me—instead, opting go alone and with the exception of Anthony whom, he could not turn down since he is the one that is recognized as my mate by the students and the instructors alike. Then, he was the one that brought me back in his arms, and apparently, there was a whole rumor that started as a result of that. But that rumor died down over the course of the past two weeks, especially with how indifferent
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 79 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. Before I know it, soon enough, finals week came and we were down to a total of 25 recruits or shall I say, students. From what I heard, only about fifteen of us would pass to successfully become a part of the elite guards while the other ten would be eliminated during the final exams. We were not exactly informed of what our final exams would be, or should I say consist of exactly, but we all knew it was not going to be an easy feat in the slightest. So, everyone prepared brutally for it both physically, and mentally. For sure we knew it would be a test that would test both our physical strength and mental state as well, and when I say physical I mean both human form and wolf form wise, none is excluded. And mentally, some mind games might be played and all just like in the enchanted forest, except we knew this would be more brutal. Speaking of the enchanted forest, luck seems to be on my side, because despite getting attac
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 80.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.I have channeled my entire energy towards practice. The final exams is tomorrow, and it is the moment that will change everything for me. At long last, my life long dreams are within my reach, and I am just a day away from either getting it, or losing it entirely. However, I do not consider the second option as an actual option—not in the slightest. Rather, I am more focused on the possibility, the belief and certainty that I would pass. I have no—I cannot have the thoughts of failing stop me from believing I can do it.If I have come this far, and I have, then of course I would be able to make it. I have defied all odds, I have to make it—I just have to, there is no room for any mistakes or the thoughts of failure. Every thing that has happened thus far, every thing I had to go through to reach this point, I would make it count. I have to. I will make every single thing count once I emerge as one of the winners, and once I am dec
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 81. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. I have heard of the brutality of the royal pack, especially when captured and imprisoned. Yet, for obvious reasons, I never thought I would find myself in that position. I was never even the rebellious kid. It was a phase I could not afford given I was trying to get on my parent’s good sides and all. So, that teenage phase kids have tend to act out, I had never had it. If any thing, I prided myslef In knowing I have always green a good kid—always. So of course never in my wildest thoughts would I ever imagine hurting someone to the point of being captured and sent to prison, and especially not if that someone is my mate but they do not know that. Instead, all the know or should I say seem to believe by whatever reason and evidence they have, is that I want him dead, and so, we’re determined to make me pay the full price of it—to pay for something I did not do not have a hand in. How can I think of hurting my mate, how can I
