Luna Battle: The Game The Reasons
AsherI walk through the palace and go to the west wing with the maids. It will do for now. It will give us the space we need. I help the maids to get things set up. It's my idea, so I won't sit back and watch as the maids do everything.All I need to sort is a place for us to sleep and the kitchen area. The rest can be sorted tomorrow or through the night. I'll still have my maids and guards, but they know to stay back far enough from us."Shall I begin cooking?" Eloise looks at me, and I nod."Yes, please. Other than lunch, we will be eating here alone in the future." We can at least have two meals a day sitting alone without my family present and involved.An hour later, the maids have gone to clear my room and bring things here, so I walk off and go through the palace. As I enter the sitting area, Elijah looks at me."I thought you were joking.""Why would I joke?" Zyra deserves time with me without everyone else there as well."I find it ridiculous, that's all. How can you be Kin
Luna Battle: The Game Again
Asher POVEveryone is waiting for me to explain when they will see me.I don't have an answer, not an easy one. "I'll be in the palace all day like I always am; just in the morning and evenings, I will be in the west wing." They are acting like I'm moving to the Dragon Kingdom, which seems ideal right now. At least there, we get time together and alone."That's until the new palace is made in the mountains, right, where you plan to live." Elijah snaps, and I sigh."What is your issue? Keep going, Elijah, and I will leave you with the burden of being King alone! I agreed to become King as well to help you. How have you helped me!" I shout, and everyone stares at me, shocked. "I'm sorry, but you're selfish. You said you would never be like your dad, right? Well, you're worse."He is; all he has in his mind is him and Seraphine, how to make their lives easy, how to have the perfect life with her even if it means sacrificing us.He stands and walks towards me."Go on, hit me." I wait, and
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
