Luna Battle: The Game Their Sympathy
I walk into the room, and Sage, Rowan, and Astrid rush and hug me."I heard. I'm glad the brothers found you in time." Sage looks at me."We saw. The camera guys saw the king and prince rush, so they followed and broadcasted everything!" Astrid smiles.I'm not happy about that, but I can't do much."Thanks, I'm fine, though." We walk to the table and sit, everyone gives me a small smile."What he did was disgusting. I'm glad the king stopped him." Lyra smiles, yet her eyes say she doesn't care about me. She's trying to seem polite. We sit and eat, discussing when we may discover the winners and losers from yesterday's event."Lyra, please follow me." Beta William looks at her. "The king needs to speak with you in private." I watch her smile grow, and she stands, following him out."Any ideas what the next event will be?" Willow looks at us."Maybe another interview? We haven't done once since we got here?" Sage looks at her."True, and rather than it being relaxed, maybe it will be mo

I sit in the car with Kellan and Darius. I'm nervous, not so much about seeing people, but I've no idea how to talk to the people who run the place. I also have no idea if someone will try to attack me.Alpha Ethan and Draven are the sort to plan it."You will be safe. Beta William, Pete, Ash and Yori are here." Darius tries to reassure me. It makes me feel worse; I know with Sage, they went with one Beta each, yet they brought all four with me."When the car stops, we get out, and you do as you wish. We will walk through and follow or wait for you." Kellan looks at me, and I nod. The car stops, and the door opens.Beta Yori reaches in and helps me step out. There are so many people outside. Panic builds in me. I'm not used to crowds and things. I feel a hand on my lower back pushing me forward."Don't overthink it. You're not a princess, the queen, or Luna. You're one of them." Darius' words are quiet, and he walks forward. Sucking in a breath, I walk forward, smiling and waving at a

Darius looks at me."How can you sign?" He sits confused."Draven's son is deaf; I watched him a lot and taught him basic maths and English, so I had to learn.""He has a son?" Kellan looks at me, confused."He has six sons, all to different women." I assumed they would know."What was she saying?" Darius looks at me. I laugh."She told me her name was Elsiemay and that she knew who I was. She said I was Elara, Kellan's girlfriend." Kellan laughs. "I told her I could see why she would think that, but we're very good friends. At which point she stated he kisses me, so I just told her she got me and it's a secret. She seemed happy with that."Kellan continues to laugh, and Darius just stares at me. I can see he is thinking of something."So where is the next stop?""I believe Sentavarb; it's a place some of the money that was raised has been sent to, so this place, then we go back to the palace," Kellan says, and I nod. Soon after, the car stops, and Yori helps.Stepping out, my body fr

I follow Darius into a room, and he sits; I follow and sit with him, waiting and wondering what this is about. He doesn't talk; he just stares at his hands. I feel like this was the first time he ever really went somewhere like that."You made it sound like you see and speak to everyone, Darius.""I assumed I did." He looks at me. "I went around, and I visited hospitals, schools.""You clearly didn't, Darius. The orphanage didn't personally know you. Had they had, maybe you would have known about the children without wolves before??""Which right now I hate myself for. I followed my father's rules and guidelines. He had told me his way worked. No one complained, no one showed resistance against his way."I laugh. "Have you actually looked at it? I mean, did you pay attention to the way your father did things and question it? Or was it a case of you doing it and not questioning it?""Why would I consider it or question it? Our father was a great man. He worked hard to right the wrong."

The door swings open, and Kellan walks in with Beta William."We have a problem."Darius groans. "Can it wait?""No, you need to see it now." William looks at us. "And Elara." He grabs a laptop and turns it.It's me and Kellan. What is the issue? Wait, some of these video clips aren't meant to be released."Where did all this footage come from?" Darius looks at them."That isn't the issue. Look at the comments." Kellan sighs. I don't think I want to. Darius pulls the laptop to him and begins to look through it."Well, shit." He looks from it to Kellan."Just tell me, I'll handle it." I'll be fine."You're not the issue, Kellan is." Darius looks at him and turns the laptop to me. Sitting, I read through and feel sick. Surely this is wrong? I look between them."They want you to be Darius' Luna. Your followers do believe you should win, so seeing this video has made them react badly towards Kellan."The comments are worrying. A lot are saying that Kellan has pulled me out of the contest

Sitting, I look at Darius, but he's quiet. We're meant to be talking. He's clearly struggling, though; the conversation as they walked in was around his father."Other than the basic needs, what else could the orphanage benefit from there? That may help the children?" I look at him, trying to get this thing going."I was considering that while talking to Wendy." He smiles at me. "The place is over capacity. What should have five or six children in a room is around ten. So a bigger location would be beneficial as it won't be healthy for ten kids in one room meant for five.""I didn't know that." Is there really that many in one room?"You were sitting with the kids when she told us. They have had to start turning away children because there is no space." I stare at him."Then where do they go?" What did I expect? It's not going to fit every child."That will do." William looks at us. Wait. I look at Darius. I will ask later. I've not finished that conversation. Walking out, I get chang
Last Updated : 2024-03-07Luna Battle: The Game Telling On Him
Kellan looks so damn happy right now. He's talking about my wolf and everything else. Still, he's ignoring my worries that this is foolish and dangerous.He's using his own wolf to get information. What happens when he loses it? Something tells me that his wolf won't be hung up or used to fight. I feel someone would replace their wolf with his.Of course, though, that's not possible as he won't lose it. So I've given up trying to talk sense into him. Getting my wolf back isn't worth the risk of losing his.It is a risk, even if he doesn't see it as it is. We sit talking, and I watch him fall asleep. I'm worried he's focused solely on getting my wolf. He's not thinking straight. Yori knows his plan and is just going along with it.I get it, Yori has been there since he was a child and will protect him, but even he can't be much use if Kellan uses his wolf as a way to get information.Climbing from the bed, I walk out. Ash smiles at me. That is good, Yori would likely ask why I'm going

I wake up early and go to Sage's room. She looks at me, clearly confused that I'm here."How did you do yesterday?" I never got a chance to catch up with her after she left for the event."Amazing. I forgot how much I missed being outside the palace; everyone was asking what happened, why Darius cancelled Selene's and why you weren't at dinner." Of course, they are."Darius saw some issues he wanted to fix." She nods but doesn't ask. Walking in, we sit down. Kellan is sitting with Callista and Selene next to him. Walking over, I see my name next to Darius.Sitting, I try to get Kellan's attention, but he's too invested in his conversation to take notice of me."You upset him." Turning, I look at Darius. "He didn't even look at you when you came in.""He's not happy that I told you." I can't blame him either, but I wouldn't have had to if he had listened to me."He will be fine with you later. The best thing you can do is give him space, don't try and get his attention." I nod and deci

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
