King's Luna: Once weak, now Fierce. 10
ESMERALDA’S POV.“What do you need from the King?” The stranger asked, his tone even, calm but deep.I may not be in my complete sense of mind, but I am vaguely aware of what is happening around me. This man, with his beautiful forest green eyes and a face that would every man envy him, has this imposing aura around him which screams not to be messed with. It can felt from miles away, and he does not try to shield it.He is someone of power here, I just know he is. I can feel it.But, at this same time, there is something about him that I can feel but cannot quite place a finger at. I felt drawn to him, and when he holds my gaze, my heart rate spikes up. When he touched my skin earlier, I felt goosebumps—the good kind.It was as if no matter the turmoil I am going through, the moment I held his gaze, the tornado in my mind simmered down and it all started to dissipate slowly.His question, it brought me back to reality, the underlying mysterious aura behind the question reminding me o

ESMERALDA’S POV.Becoming an Elite Guard for the Royals has always been a dream of mine since I was young. However, that dream perished when Anthony and I became engaged, and I thought becoming his Luna and the mother of his children is more than enough for me, that it is more than what life as a Guard could have offered me. Besides, he was never that supportive of me being a pack warrior to begin with, he has always mentioned how I would have to leave that if I were to become Luna. That he does not want a warrior for a Luna.So, you can say, I gave up my dream just to be the perfect Luna to him since that was what he wanted, but no more.The Elite Guards for the royals? That is a dream come true for every warrior of any pack—even my brother Cole wanted to join but with the Beta position, he gave it up.And now, when everything has gone down the drain and I feel as though I have no future left for me, this offer presents itself on a golden platter. Perhaps, it is stupid to believe thi

ALEXANDER’S POV.The night time has always been my favorite time of the day, especially when the events of the day has ended and I am left to enjoy that moment of silence to myself with no disturbance in sight. In those moments, I usually enjoy the silence and peace that comes with being in the royal garden. Probably the last place anyone would expect to see me at, and that is exactly why it is the one place where I can get some silence and peace.I have been sitting there for over two hours trying to enjoy some sense of peace, but it is the last thing on my mind not when the same thing has been plaguing my mind the entire day.Esmeralda.Her thoughts, her face, her as a whole, it keeps plaguing my mind. And that name, perfectly fit for someone like her, I cannot find myself able to get rid of her from my mind, not that I have tried to really but it is the first for me.Normally, I am so in control of my emotions that there has never been a woman, or anyone to be honest that plagues m

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 13.ESMERALDA’S POV.I have not seen him, or heard of him in days. Not since I informed Valeria of my decision and she said she will pass the information to him.I waited. I do not know why, but I waited for him to show up. If it was up to me, I would have wanted to tell him myself but Valeria said he is busy, and barely has time especially at the moment. She did not expatiate what he could possibly be busy because of, but she did stress the fact that he will be informed of my decision, and he will be pleased by it.The next day, she informed me to get ready, that we would join the other participants by Sunday at the ‘Academy’. There was nothing to prepare for really, other than mentally. Apparently, we are not allowed to take anything there and everything we could possibly need would be provided so, all we had to do is show up and present our acceptance letter at the entrance.I thought I would be leaving alone. But, my thoughts were proved wrong when the day came

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 14.ESMERALDA’S POV.We arrived no more than thirty minutes later. Before I know it, we had slowed down just as the huge building came into sight, and I do not need her to tell me to know what it is. The Castle. It is much bigger, and more imposing than even the stories let it out to be really.It is nestled at the top of a hill, and left an imposing figure with its stone walls and its silhouette adorned with ivy and punctuated by numerous turrets and towers, all with conical roofs and the Lycan kingdom flag fluttering in the breeze—a testament of the power that lingers behind the walls for centuries, and still standing.I felt drawn to it, and I could not move my gaze away from it as she and I walked side by side. I had always wondered what the castle is like, and seeing it now in person, it felt like something straight out of the fantasy novels I used to read back at home. I could not see behind the imposing walls much, but I could see the tip of the buildings th

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 15.ESMERALDA’S POV.I did not think he is the Crowned Prince.I heard there are four Princes, the Crowned Prince inclusive but for some reason, I did not expect it to be him. One of the Princes, sure. But I did not possibly add the possibly of him being the Crown Prince.I thought if he was, I would have known. It would be impossible to not recognize the Crown Prince—his aura is impossible to miss and the only plausible explanation in this case is that he intentionally hid his power from me. Else, I would have known.His presence is that which cannot be missed, being this this room is evident enough.But then again, it really does not make sense. Why would the Crown Prince save me? Why would he spare me and even allow me into the Elite Guards training? It just does not add up really, not in the slightest.I have heard stories of the Crowned Prince, everyone has. The eldest child of King Valois and his sole child with Queen Elizabeth, may her blessed soul rest in p

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 17.ESMERALDA’S POV.The rest of the day pretty much passed by uneventful, with everyone seeming to keep to themselves or their closed ones. We have the same eating canteen with everyone, and with lunch and dinner time being similar, most of us showed up at the same time though the entire hour is dedicated to eating so anyone can show up within that hour and eat whatever during that period.After dinner, both Valeria and I returned to our rooms, promising to meet tomorrow at dawn. I took a quick shower to get rid of the day’s activities. Afterwards, I got under the covers and slept off, not before setting the alarm by the beside cabinet to wake me up an hour to the time we are supposed to head out.Luckily for me, it woke me up just in time, and having being used to wake up that early, I got out of bed without much struggle. Showering, a newfound surge of confidence sparked through my veins as I prepared for the day, and after the shower, I made my way towards the

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 18.ALEXANDER’S POV.She is here.I had to fight every fiber in my being from storming over to her and snatching her into my arms away from the prying eyes of everyone in that room. The moment I stepped into the assembly hall to welcome the new recruits, her scent instantly welcomed me, overcoming the overwhelming medieval scent of the buildings that I had gotten used to, having grown up in one.Even as everyone had bowed their heads down, the recruits all on their knees, my gaze instantly swept the room in an attempt to look for her. She looked up just in time, and our gazes met and believe me when I said, it took every bit of self restrain to make my way towards the podium and not down the hall, to get to her.Restraint, I reminded myself. Keep it professional…for her sake.She was the first to look away, and my beast whined at the act, wanting nothing more than to keep staring at her. He is a bigger sucker than I am really, they always are. I kept those feelings

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
