Luna Battle: The Game Banquet
After telling the brothers my plan, I went to bed. Exhaustion had taken over me, and I fell asleep far too quickly. I've not seen Kellan, Darius, or even William today.I woke up alone, had breakfast, and have spent most of my day with Sage now. Later today is Callista's banquet, which I'm not looking forward to. It can't be any worse than Lyra's Ball, though; at least today, there are no masks.Sage is currently painting her nails. Something which she insists she does herself. Where as Lyra and everyone use the maids, who are trained to do it."Are you doing yours?""No! My toes won't be on show." We both laugh at that."Has May sorted your dress for tonight?""She has. It's a very tight-fitting gown. I think she's trying to help me taunt Kellan." It won't help, as I'm not seeing Kellan tonight. Not that anyone knows that."Go get ready then." She points to the door. Hugging her, I walk out and bump into Callista."What are you wearing?"I step back away from her, confused. "A dress.

DariusTonight is painful. Callista won't stop talking, and because she is between me and Kellan, it means I have to talk to her because Kellan is focused on Elara.Solely Elara, which means I have to deal with Callista alone, and my head hurts. While listening to her yattering, I am also trying to remember not to act too friendly with Elara.I'm meant to be pushing her out, not caring, whatever.Lyra's masquerade ball wasn't as painful as this. Sure, I spent most of my time with her, but we moved around the room. Constantly talking to people, new conversations. Away from her own agenda.No, Callista keeps talking about how much she has trained for this. How she has practised her routines for situations the queen may find herself in.Things like this are meant to be fun and relaxing. It is not so tense. Everyone else is laughing, so I can only imagine their conversations are better."It's amazing, Alpha Prime Darius. A perfect example of how a queen would help.""I think my brother ha

I'm not sure what happened that night, but for two days, I have barely seen Kellan or Darius. William has told us they were busy with issues. Issues, I apparently can't know as when I ask, I get told he's not allowed to tell me. "Something is happening." Sage looks at me and I nod. "I agree, and no I don't know. Neither Darius nor Kellan have told me. I've barely seen them." She looks across the room. "What I don't get is why are both Beta Ash and Yori watching you?" That, I don't know. "We can make up our own ideas?" I laugh slightly. "All Yori told me was that the brothers are busy and can't check in on me as much. They are together so Kellan doesn't need his Beta's." I feel that's a lie. I've no idea if they caught Aurora or if it was even her. "Maybe this has something to do with the people outside the wall?" I turn and look at Callista. "You didn't know? I left something in my old room and went to get it. There are banners and such calling both the king and prince murderers

I chase William down the hall with my Betas behind me."William, stop making me run." I laugh and follow him; as I round the corner, he is standing waiting."Could you have just not run at all? Instead of making me follow you all this way.""People would have heard. What do you want, Elara?""What are Kellan and Darius doing?"He glances around briefly before looking back at me. "After all the information about their father that has come out recently, they are focusing on ways to fix their image.""That's a lie." He's lying. Kellan would just say if that was it. "They are getting my wolf, right?" he grasps my arm and pulls me into a room and closes it."Don't speak of it.""What?" I don't get it."No one can find out. The king and prince have cut themselves off from everyone, so no one knows what they are doing. No one can know. Only a few of us do.""So they are getting my wolf?" Is that what he's saying?I watch as he nods. "Don't discuss it, Elara. All you need to do is wait for Ma
Last Updated : 2024-03-07Luna Battle: The Game Plans To Get My Wolf
I wake up with arms wrapped around my body. Turning, I see Kellan."You've been busy." He nods, smiling at me. He looks worn out."We need to discuss some things today. So have breakfast with the others, then meet me and Darius." He leans forward, his lips pressing against mine."You look like you need sleep.""I'm fine, don't worry about me. I'm going to go get sorted and find Darius. I snuck away, and I'm not meant to be here."Laughing, I shake my head. "You're breaking the rules again?""They are made to be. He thinks I'm asleep in my room, just shh." Laughing at him, I lean forward and kiss him. His hands grasp me and pull me closer to him.I push my body closer to his, hearing him groan before he pushes me away. "No!"Pouting, I sulk, and he chuckles. Leaning forward, he begins to kiss me. My hand tangles into his hair."Enjoy your breakfast. See you soon." His words are mumbled against my lips before he climbs off the bed and walks out. I want to sulk that he's gone already. I

I was grateful when I heard that Astrid had decided that the garden party needed a marquee. Walking out, I look around; the snow has stopped falling.It's still deep, though, but Astrid had clearly thought of that and made sure multiple pathways were cleared, making it easier to walk through.While the marquee is there and it is big, there are a lot of tables and seating around the garden as well."I shall see you out there." Sage hugs me and walks to Beta Tony. Astrid planned this perfectly. We all walk in with someone. She, of course, is walking in with Darius."I'm here to replace you, Yori." Kellan pushes past him."You're meant to be spending time with others, Kellan." He plans to stay with me at my event and Sage's. He shouldn't be with me at this one."I'm simply walking you into the event. You can push me away after we get there, agree?" He smirks at me and I fail and laugh."I won't push you away, and can you stop calling me an alien? I heard you before." I narrow my eyes at

Kellan calling me alien wakes me. I almost want to punch him, but I don't. Sitting up, I look at him."Is it time?""Yes. Get dressed. I will wait outside for you." He walks out, and I rush to get myself ready. I'm not sure how this morning will go, but I'm hopeful.Walking out after getting ready, Kellan is waiting. I walk down with him, and he guides me around to the cars. I still don't know how they get past the angry mob.They must, though, as Kellan has left a few times."You are to stay with Beta William and Yori until we give the word." Darius looks at me."Fine. I'm happy to follow the order." I will, as I don't want them at risk. Getting in the car, I sit and begin to feel nervous and scared. It's not so much about getting caught but the thought of actually having my wolf back.A short while later, the cars stop, and I watch everyone get out and go into the building. Even from here, I can feel it. My body is itching to run towards it."Don't." I turn to William, my eyes going
Last Updated : 2024-03-07Luna Battle: The Game Unsettled
My body is burning, and strong waves of pain continue to paralyse me. Every time I'm ready to fight against it, I hear Kellan in my mind telling me to relax and another voice. One I've never heard before. It feels like I've been in this hell for hours or even days. Every time the wave of pain stops, I feel hopeful it's ended, but the burning still continues, and soon after, another wave of pain. My body is exhausted, and the burning slowly disappears. "Elara?" Kellan's words seep into my mind. "Open your eyes, please." Slowly, I open them. "How do you feel?" I turn, hearing Maze. "What happened?" Something did. "I can't remember anything after stepping into that room." "I was right, you're an alien." Kellan's words have me groaning. "You're different, and so is your wolf. You never needed me or magic. I will give you some space. Come find me when she's awake properly." I hear the door closing. "What happened?" "No one knows. Maze tried using magic, but it didn't seem to work.

Luna Battle: The Game Settled
Asher POVI look down at Katla. She's only a few days old. After speaking with Zyra, she decided that the space in the mountains would be a retreat—a place for us to escape to, somewhere Katla could get used to what it is like to live in the Dragon Kingdom.We have spent a few days there, but not many. Apparently, she wants to be in the palace close to the others. Part of me feels like that's because they were her support while I was hiding away.It's shown her what having a family around can do. We're close, minus Aurelia. She seems to be thriving with the Bears and keeping her distance. Other than returning that day when I was going crazy and needed help, she rarely came back. We've adjusted and got used to that, however.She wants her life away from here; she wants her own life, not one that is connected to us. She should have that if she wants it."Hey."Turning, I see Elijah walk to me.He laughs slightly and takes Katla from my arms. "You look exhausted; fun night?"It's only 4
Luna Battle: The Game Fixing Things
Asher POVI walk out of the room and go to where I know they will be. As I step into the office, they turn to face me.Darius shakes his head. "You should be with Zyra.""I was, but considering this is brought on by the Dragons, I should be helping." I walk further in and look at the papers."Nothing to help with," my dad shrugs. "His son is clean, Seraphine can tell. Things were explained to him. He had no idea about the arranged marriage and, to be honest, was shocked, as he apparently had a mate."So the son won't be an issue. Is that what he's saying?"Look, both Eliphas and Durnalin are in the cells, away from each other. The son has gone. Apparently, he has a whole life with his mate. His dad told him the dragons had requested their presence at events." Darius explains.It makes no sense, though. "Why? Why would the dragons want the warlocks there?" How didn't his son question it?"Apparently, because Eliphas and his son are the strongest warlocks, they invited them to make a un
Luna Battle: The Game The Answers
Asher POVI wait and watch."Prince Asher, soon to be King, tell me something." He walks to the bars and leans against them. "Where do Warlocks belong?"My head tilts; they belong wherever they want to. I don't understand his question."See, there is no answer as we don't belong anywhere. There is the werewolf kingdom, fae, dragons and everything else. Witches and warlocks are forced to live in one of those kingdoms, with no real power."So this was all about getting power? My body is pushed back, and my eyes widen as I see King Drakon reach through the bars—his hand clamps around Eliphas' neck.I guess he's fixed, and his curse is gone. My dad and Darius drag him away, and I watch Eliphas drop to the floor, clutching his neck. The blood runs down from where King Drakon's nails dug in."We need answers; killing him won't get them." My dad turns and faces Eliphas."Apparently, this was all for power." Which still makes no sense."It wasn't just for power. We wanted our own kingdom, our
Luna Battle: The Game Baby Event
Asher POVI'm anxious. It's been two days since the curse was lifted, and I'm glad to be back to normal. All that is at risk, though. Tonight, I have to be close to whoever is pretending to be King Drakon. That then risks it happening again, and if it does, will it start slow again or begin where it was removed?I've noticed Elijah, Storm, and Aurelia are quiet. Whatever was done has worn them out, which I didn't want."Are you ready?" Zyra hugs me, and I nod. I'm not. We need answers and to figure out who it is."Be careful, okay?" I don't like that I'm not going to be there."It's you who needs to be careful. You will be in a confined space with him. If anything goes wrong." She looks at me worriedly.Wrapping my arms around her, I smile. "I'll be fine; once he's in the cell, he can't do anything." I kissed her and gave her a final hug before walking away.Getting to the cells, I sit in one and wait. I'm hoping the plan works. If we can get him in the cell, then his magic and power
Luna Battle: The Game Explaining
Asher POVI can see Zyra is struggling, and I don’t blame her either. She just found out her brother is missing.“Look, when Seraphine checked trying to find out the issue with him, she saw King Drakon, but it wasn’t him. Whoever it was is who we believe Cursed Asher.” My mum grasps her hands and smiles. “We’ve got people tracking down where your brother really is. There’s a reason for this, and it’s you, Zyra. Seraphine could sense the curses were put on Asher and Elijah to try and push you to return home.”Zyra looks around the room and seems increasingly worried. “What about Ryker? Is he okay? Does he know?” She waits, and I don’t know the answer to that.“I’m sorry, we don’t know. You need to stay here, Zyra. We have a plan, and we’re hoping Seraphine can uncover more when the person comes here.”She nods and sits, looking lost.“We are expecting Seraphine to return late tonight or early tomorrow. If they can’t fix the issue, then we will keep working to.” My mum smiles and hugs h
Luna Battle: The Game Time
Asher POVAfter about an hour of sitting in the cell with Zyra, I ordered her to leave. I wanted to spend time with her, but she shouldn't have been sitting in the cells with me.So, I've been alone for hours, waiting to find out their plan. They hadn't thought this through. I need to leave the cell to go to the room. As soon as I step out of this cell, it will come back. Then what?I'm willing to agree to anything right now if it gets me out of this cell and back with Zyra. The footsteps have me standing, and I watch my dad and Darius walk towards me."What's your plan? How am I to do this?" They haven't thought it through."You need to shift." Darius looks at me.I laugh at him. Is that some kind of joke? "You want me to shift, so that what? I can kill people easier?"My dad sighs and steps forward. "Please do as you're told. You won't understand why we're saying you can shift, but shift. Into your wolf, not dragon."Of course, I won't understand; they haven't explained it to me. If
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
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 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
