Luna Battle: The Game The Children
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
Luna Battle: The Game Falling Down
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
Luna Battle: The Game The Reality
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."
Luna Battle: The Game Their Hate
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
Luna Battle: The Game Mini-Dates
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
Luna 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
Luna Battle: The Game Ignored
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 Fresh Faces
I walk to the man, and he stands."Elara, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Ryan. Shall we begin?" I nod and sit down. So far, he seems fine."How has your time been at the Luna battle so far?""It's been amazing; I've learnt a lot, especially about myself. Regardless of how this ends, I know I'm taking away a lot of positives from this."He smiles and nods. "Your past isn't conventional at all, yet you seem to get far more support than most people from those outside. Why do you think that is?"I consider his words. "Maybe because I can relate to so many of the people? It gives them hope of a better future.""You do give people hope, Elara. My own daughter speaks highly of you. Her situation is unique, and seeing you here has made her realise that not having a wolf isn't always bad. Did you realise that you were changing people's views?""How did your daughter lose her wolf? I didn't realise people's views had changed, especially not because of me.""My daughter is unique. She was born
