King's Luna: Once weak, now Fierce. 90
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 93. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.An exasperated breath escaped my lips, and my gaze softened as I stared at him with questioning eyes, my shoulders slumped. “Kai…” I called out in a small voice, swallowing down a lump as my heart squeezed behind my rib cage painfully so. “…do you really think I did it?” I asked, my voice small in fear of the worst.Kai’s eyes dilated slightly, then a frown marred his features. “No. Of course not. Why would you think so?”I released a sigh, then pushed myself away from him as I got onto my feet, thankfully now I no longer feel dizzy and I could manage to stand on my feet without feeling lightheaded. “Because,” I started in an exasperated tone, “Because you keep pushing me away. Even now, you do not want to me close to me. You do not even want to kiss me back and when you finally did, you kept pushing me away!”Perhaps, I am overreacting, and I would wish for that to really be the case rather than him truly ignoring me. I know fo

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 94.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.I could not quite explain how I felt at that very moment when Malakai broke the news to me. I was not expecting it to say the least, weirdly enough, I never did.I have my reasons for it. For one, my last failed pregnancy and how much it has left an impact on me, I was not so sure I was ready mentally to have another child, so it never crossed my mind. I never even thought I would be pregnant again, I was not sure if I was ready to take the news of such like that. Then again, not to mention, Malakai and I have only been intimate for a short time. I cannot say it was once, because we went at it the night and countless rounds through it, but we have not been intimate again since that night, of course I did not expect this.And the most obvious reason…the hell I went through in the past few days. It was much more than the physical pain I went through when Anthony rejected me, and I lost my first child. Obviously after suffering that

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 95. CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV. The early morning sun crept through the slight and peaky edges of the heavy royal curtains, casting the room in a soft glow. It must have opened slightly due to the breeze from outside because I was sure to close it all well so there wouldn’t be a single ray of light that comes in, lest it disturbs Esmeralda from her sleep.I lay there, still yet very much aware, simply watching Esmeralda sleep. She looked peaceful, her chest rising and falling with each slow breath, her curly auburn hair spilling over the pillow like a work of art. In this moment, all the worries, the weight of my crown, the threats outside these walls—none of it mattered. Here, it was just us. Just she and I mattered and nothing else did.I reached my hand out, my fingers lightly brushing the strand of hair that made its way in her cheek, and then pushed it behind her ear softly. She stirred slightly due to the action, but soon relaxed and then we

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 96 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. Everything happened so fast. One minute Kai and I were in bed, enjoying the after moment of our time together and the next, I was walking beside him down the hallway and out to the funeral ground where everyone else is waiting already. Everyone in court, those closest to the royal family, and the entire guards in the palace have all showed up for the private funeral that will be held for the late King. I was not even sure the King was truly sick up until a moment ago, and it just never occurred to me to ask Kai as the time and topic just did not sprout up. So I cannot say I understand what his relationship with his father is, or how he feels about the death much. I did ask him how he feels when he broke the news to me, and he replied with a simple “I’m okay. I have anticipated this.” There was no look of being torn or affected by the death on his expression in the slightest, it seemed he really was not affected in the slightest

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 97.ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.“The power strife has begun.” Kai declared, his voice firm, and loud enough to be heard by all of us in the room. There were a total of us that he trusted and deemed close enough in the room, and that included those handpicked seven Alphas—Anthony included surprisingly. Despite their personal beef, I know Kai is well aware that Anthony is an asset to him that he should not let go of—besides, he would need all the allies he can possibly get in order to safely ascend the throne.Aside from the seven Alphas, Elias, Tobias—the third in command are also here. And Valeria of course, as well as Ruby and Zayde that have all seem to leave a good impression on Kai—and have gotten their access to become the royal guards despite not taking the exams—but according to Kai, everything they had to go through is enough to qualify them for the position.There were a few people from the council as well, those that are on his side, which is about hal

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
