KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 85. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. I have resigned to fate. I guess it is the fact that I have not seen or heard any thing from Kai in days, but I had slowly come to accept that he will not come, and that nothing and no one can help me escape this horrendous fate. I do not know what situation he is in and what exactly he is going through, but I have faith in him that he will over come it and not succumb to their plans. What I have given up on in particular though, is that I will live to witness it happen. I do not know what the exact reason is, but they gave me a little bit more meal compared to the usual that day. Normally, I would have been wary of it but I am starving quite a lot, and knowing I would die in just a matter of hours does not quite make me fear the prospect of being poisoned to death. If anything, it is easier compared to dying by hanging so I would choose that really. As such, I sat and devoured the entire food, my appetite bigger than usual and

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 86.CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.My whole body hurts, the pain excruciating. I have no idea how long I have been living in this state, but I know it has been a while because I have tethering somewhere in between the line of being conscious and the line of being unconscious. But I could feel it as the time passes by, that I am slowly getting it out of my system. I could feel the black magic in my system, and its dispel.It was like poison running through my veins—slow, scorching, burning, relentless. Black magic isn’t something you fight; it fights you. Especially when it gets into your system, it slowly Wa Tayyu up from the inside. That is how it kills one. And I knew that, I know that it is supposed to kill one, but I know it would not kill me. Rather, my body would fight it. Every muscle in my body, every nerve, felt like it was on fire though. Days had passed—maybe more, I couldn’t keep track, not since I am not exactly in my right track of mind.

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 86. CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV. No one poisoned me. If anything, I poisoned myself. When I was told that Esmeralda might not have long to live, given the black magic had already seeped into her body and was starting to eat her from the inside, I knew I had to do whatever it takes to save her from that. So, I found out the only way to save her was if I could transfer the black magic from her body, to someone else’s. I could still remember the Royal Physician’s words. “I am afraid the black magic is already in her system, Your Highness, and her body is not strong enough to fight it. At this rate, she only has a couple of days left, and then she will be gone.” Those words, I hated those words to the core—the thought that I would lose her, in just a couple of days to be honest, terrified as much as it angered me. So, in a desperate attempt to look for any way out, I found myself asking. “Is there really no way to save her?” I asked, fighting back m

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 88. CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV. I have never been scared in my life before, never. Fear is not an emotion I have ever attributed to myself. Even when my mother died and I was blamed, when my father took in the devil as his new mate, or when my sister abandoned me to be with her mate, I was never scared. Instead, I took it as it came, and moved on with my life. There was no need to be scared, what is the use of it? It is an emotion that would not benefit me with anything, so, I never caved in to the feeling of such ever.How ever, for the first time in my life, I was scared.As the royal physicians rushed into my room, where Esmeralda lays, fighting for her lives while they fought with their own lives on the line just to save her, I was scared internally. On the outside. I was composed and raged, because I had told them that their own lives will depend on hers. Whether she lives or dies, their own lives depends on it.I know they are not responsib

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 89. CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV. For a second, I was frozen, unable to believe the words. Did I hear him correctly? Are my ears playing tricks on me or have I gone through so much that I have begun to hallucinate and imagine things? My questions and doubts were proved to be wrong when they all fell in their knees as well, and their collective voices came, all chanting the same thing. “Congratulations, Your Highness!” “Congratulations, Your Highness!” “Congratulations, Your Highness!” “The Kingdom has been blessed!” Since the olden days, receiving the news of a royal child is considered a blessing for the Kingdom entirely, because it symbolizes a blessed future for the Kingdom, and stability as well. Especially if it is the child of a Crown Prince, having an heir is basically like securing one’s position to becoming the King. However, my elation is not because my position as the next King has been secured, and not because I have an heir. No. I

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 90. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.I felt like I was floating, or lost in an abyss with no hope for waking up or hope to see the light of the new day. Waking up felt like pushing through thick fog, but I refused to stay trapped in that haze. I could not explain why but there was this deep feeling within me that nudged me to push till I wake up, as if I needed to do so, desperately. My mind was sharp, even if my body wasn’t cooperating yet. The ache in my muscles was intense, but it was a reminder that I was still here, still alive, still fighting, my memories at that moment had not quite registered in yet, but I was aware. The pain had become a constant companion—something I’d learned to manage, not something that would defeat me. It could not, I just know it. The room was quiet, the air still, and as I blinked my eyes open, the light was harsh at first, it felt like a difficult task to overcome. I welcomed the sting, though—it grounded me and kept me in place,

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 91. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. Kai closed the space between us in quick, sharp strides and before I know it, he was standing right in front of me. My gaze remained planted on him, brows drawn in confusion as I found myself parting my lips to speak. “Kai…I…” my words were cut midway when he eliminated the space between us, his arms going around me as he pulled me into his embrace—his arms around me tightening but not in an uncomfortable way but rather, the kind that conveyed all the emotions he could not exactly speak of at the moment. My arms stood limply by the side for the first few seconds, not knowing how to react exactly or shall I say, taken aback that I did not know how to react precisely. My mind was still a mess but one thing that stood out for sure is that Kai is alive and well, and that I am in his arms—alive as well.My arms eventually raised up and then wrapped around him, my movements slow and weak as I was only slowly getting back my energy.

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 92. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. My lips moved against his softly, and for the first few seconds, he did not respond entirely. It seemed as though he was frozen, and for a second I wondered if he did not want this entirely given how he is not responsive. I pulled back slowly, feeling dejected as our eyes met, and my heart clenched behind my rib cage painfully so.He didn’t say a thing immediately, his now dark forest green eyes searching mine, swirling with an emotion I could not quite point a finger at while trying to read what I was thinking at the same time, what I was feeling exactly. The silence between us was thick, charged. My heart hammered in my chest as I struggled to find the right words, to explain what I had been holding back for so long. But I didn’t have the courage to speak the truth, not fully.Instead, I let instinct take over once again, unable to hold myslef back and truthfully, not wanting to do so even.Without thinking, I reached out, my

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
