Luna Battle: The Game His Reasons
Zyra POVWe sit and eat, and Asher talks about the plan for the future. He seems so normal right now—nothing like before. I've noticed it. I think everyone has noticed it. Asher and Elijah seem to be at war with each other.Part of me wonders if they resent each other, resenting the fact that they are having to carry the weight of the title of becoming King. Asher never wanted it, and then Elijah was going to give up."Asher," I look at him, and he smiles at me. "You and Elijah need to fix things."He sighs and looks away from me. Something has changed, something has been said, or something happened to cause the arguments. "Asher, why do you two keep fighting?"He turns to face me. "That doesn't matter anymore."I laugh at him. "Yes, it does; how can you think it doesn't? You two physically fought. Your wolves fought. Today, you were close to fighting again, so what happened?""After your mother died, we spoke. Elijah does not like your brother at all. He doesn't believe that Drakon s
Luna Battle: The Game Worse
Asher POVEverything felt perfect. Every reason I have given for how I feel and what is going on is wiped away. I thought it was keeping it hidden how Elijah felt about Drakon, but it wasn't.At that final moment, I smiled. I imagined our life here, with our child. Everything felt perfect, then all I saw was blood and Zyra lying dead under my wolf.The images are so sickening I run to the bathroom, lock the door and begin being physically sick. The image seems to be so profoundly routed into my mind it's impossible to get rid of."Asher?" I hear Zyra and the quiet knock. "Please, what's wrong?""I'm fine, Zyra." My words are quiet; sitting down, I rest against the wall and close my eyes. I can still see it. That image isn't going to go easily. Rubbing my face, I try to compose myself.Standing, I walk to the sink and turn on the tap. Looking into the mirror, I jump back. Blood covers my face, and my eyes are black. Looking down, I see blood on my hands.Panicking, I turn on the shower
Luna Battle: The Game A Lie
Asher POVThey are waiting, but there's nothing I can tell them that won't make them realise the truth. I consider what I can say that will make them believe me. Then, I can focus on reading up and finding out the truth."I'm adjusting." That isn't a lie. "I never wanted to become King. I agreed so that Elijah could have time with Seraphine and go back to her kingdom. This isn't easy; I'm going to mess up, have moments where I feel like I'm failing or like everything is too much."Becoming King now isn't the right choice, but I can't back out. Not until everything is confirmed."That doesn't explain tonight." My dad looks at me."I don't know what happened tonight. I think I was so focused on the argument with Elijah. I had just told Zyra the truth that Elijah dislikes Drakon. I was rushing to eat and get the conversation finished. Part of me felt sick, and I never shifted just after eating, but I had. It was too much at once for my body to handle."The loud sigh from Darius tells me
Luna Battle: The Game Losing Him
Zyra POVA month it's been a month since Asher had his weird breakdown, and things continue to get worse. He rarely spends time with Storm. He hasn't seen the girls in weeks. He's cut off all contact with his family, and I'm lucky to even get in the room with him.Smiling, I sit on the bed and wait for him. He went for a walk, but he said he had to go alone. He took the Beta with him, but he insisted he needed to do this alone. He's been gone all day and has again avoided Elijah as well.All duties have fallen on him recently, and while Elijah seems to be getting better, Asher is getting worse. The sound of the door has me smiling. It opens, and Asher walks in. He glances at me briefly before walking towards the bathroom."Asher," I call out, and his body stops by the door. He begins walking again. "Please, I need to talk to you." I plead and wait. He stops and looks at me.It doesn't even look like him anymore. He looks so ill; his face is pale and withdrawn."Go back to your room, Z
Luna Battle: The Game Destroyed
Asher POVThings are getting worse, and while everyone is safe away from me, I've hurt them all. I've hurt Zyra. It's been two weeks since she told me she was pregnant. That day still gives me nightmares.I smiled, hearing her words, and then everything intensified; everything got worse. The whispers got louder, and I struggled to stay as I was. My body began burning, and I was ready to shift.All I wanted to do was hug her, but I couldn't. There was nothing I could do but hurt her so she would be safe from me. I saw the pure pain in her eyes after I shouted, but she had to leave. I was losing it, and if she didn't go, there was a chance I would have hurt her. To start with, I would watch her from a distance, but even doing that now makes the whispers begin and the visions."You need to accept this, Asher, and tell someone." Beta Mark looks at me. "We've done everything, and all the signs point to that. You say you're pushing everyone out to keep them safe, but how are they safe if yo
Luna Battle: The Game The Truth
Asher POVNo one speaks, likely because they know what I said is the truth. I need to die; there is nothing they can do to change that."Explain the process, what happened, how it started, when it happens." Darius pulls a chair over and sits outside the cell.I laugh. "Why do I need to talk? Why do I need to explain? You're proving you believe me by keeping me locked in here and being too afraid to come near your own son."Nothing I say can change that."Asher, I'm not opening the cell because I don't trust you to try and run. So explain it to me, tell me how it's progressed, and let's be sure that is what is happening." He waits, and I watch my mum, Elijah, and dad sit with him."It began with whispers. The words were barely audible, but I heard whispers in my ear. They got louder and began to sound like words. Whispers were one thing, but then I began to see people dead and my wolf above them." It was a warning to me to hide, to push them away, and not let them close to me."When do
Luna Battle: The Game The Answers
Asher POVI watch as Elijah glares at everyone and backs up more."Elijah, we need to know." My mum steps towards him."I saw him once, just once! You all need to focus on Asher, not me! He's the one that is cursed, not me!" He shouts and steps back. He backs into my dad, and he grabs Elijah as Seraphine steps forward and grips his head.His screams echo around the cells, and it's all over just as quickly as it starts. His body falls to the floor, and he cradles his head."Well?" Darius looks at Seraphine."You're going to need a warlock, or I'll need to contact my family and see if they have something to clear the curses." Her words make me look towards Elijah. So, he is also cursed."Asher's curse is to make him push everyone out and make him think he has a mad wolf so that Zyra leaves. Elijah's was to hate Asher, likely to intensify it." Seraphine smiles slightly. "There's no mate, Elijah. The curse is what's stopping us from having a baby. There's no third mate." Her words have hi
Luna Battle: The Game Planning
Elijah POVI sit in the office; Seraphine has left. She's meeting her family halfway in the hopes they have something that can help. Merfolk are powerful creatures with extraordinary abilities.Curses and such are something they specialise in."We're going to request that King Drakon attend a celebration for Zyra's pregnancy. It means we can get what we need and figure out who it is and what their aim is." My dad looks at me, and he makes it sound so simple. This isn't simple."He's going to ask why Asher isn't present, then what?" We can't lie and hide him. "It will look suspicious.""Not if Zyra invites him, she won't know, remember. She can invite him, and whoever is portraying King Drakon won't suspect anything. We're going to be honest and explain something is wrong with Asher, and he's not well."So we're not hiding the issue."He could be in the cell for weeks, so we've had things moved down there for him. The plan is later to test how he is with someone in the cell with him. T
