The Elders all stare at each other, trying to comprehend why I would summon them without the presence of the king there. โI understand that you all are surprise, but please do have a seat and I promise you that it will be quickโโWhat is this about Luna?โโThis is about the guard that was murdered, I can't keep silent any longer and watch someone else take the fall for what I did just because I am trying to preserve my dignityโโWhat are you talking about?โ They asked still haven't comprehend what I was talking about. โI was the one who murdered the guard called HugoโโWhat!! โ They exclaimed in unison, their gaze still filled with perplexity. โYes! This was all my doing and I sat there that day and let Ricky take the fall, I had sent Ricky on a errand and it was just Hugo and I, but in other to stop the feud between both men just because of me, I murdered Hugo and let Ricky take the fallโโSo you are saying that you were the one behind the recent murder that happened?โโIf truly yo
KILLIANMy heart was burning with so much rage knowing that the woman who was suppose to be mine was trying to give up her life for another man, despite his many times he would betray her, she was ready to forgive him and give him another chance and the thought of the fact that she would never do the same for me if I was in this situation made me furious. I held her arm tightly, I knew that I was hurting her, but it did not matter to me at that moment because she hurt me first and I only let go off her when we were inside my chamber. โLaura! What is that madness you think you are displaying out there?โโWhat madness because the last time I checked, it was you who started this madness first, trying to frame a man for a crime he did commitโโAnd then what, you are ready to give up your life for him, is that how much he means to you, that you will gladly end your life for a man who is not worth itโโI do not care what you think, but I am not going to sit here and watch a man die for no
KILLIAN I could not help her innocence as I cupped her face gently but she pulled away from me. โI thought that I meant something to you, but it turns out that no matter what I do, I will never be good enough for you, even if Laura were to commit the hardest of crime, you will stand by her and protect her!!โRosette felt so betrayed and she stormed out of the chamber. I tried to stop her, but it seemed like I could not form a sentence and all I could do was sigh loudly. By nightfall when everywhere was dark and I was certain that I couldn't be seen, I trail down the basement to the dungeon, there were two guards on duty with their eyes wide open and as soon a their gaze met with mine, they quickly stood erect. โGood day my King!โ Both of them greeted in unison. โOpen the door! โ I commanded and without wasting time, he did as he was told, his hand fiddling through the keys, I stepped in once the door was finally open and Ricky who was fast asleep must have perceived my scent as he
RICKYAfter Killian left my cell, sleep had gone away from my eyes, I could not sleep, all my thoughts were focused on Laura and the life that awaited her once I was gone. I heard the sound of the keys clinging through the hole, and just then the door swung open with Laura stepping in. โRicky! She rushed over to me as she dropped the parcel she came with on the floor and rushed over to me, embracing me so tightly that I could barely breath. โOh my goddess! Ricky I thought that I would never see you again, I have missed you so much that every night I had to cry myself off to sleep, look how thin you have becomeโShe cupped my face, while she scanned my entire body as tears filled her eyes. โHow have you been Laura, I missed you so muchโโI miss you too Ricky, I missed you so much that my heart began to hurt, I thought that I will never get this opportunity to see you again but was shocked when Killian came to my room today and said that I could go see youโโHave you been living fine
RICKYAfter Laura left my cell room, I felt more at ease and it was easier for me to sleep, the next day at dawn, two guards came over and dragged me out of the dungeon. For three consecutive days now, it was the first time I was seeing a ray of sunlight. There was a loud cheering from the crowd outside the empty street at the pack, a cheering which I couldn't tell was that of excitement that I was going to be murdered or that of pity for me, but either way I was forced to my knee guards right before the podium where I could be seen by everyone once I was been beheaded. The noise and uproar, kept on going as it seems that someone were against the sentence and this was their attempt for their voice to be heard but as soon as the Lycan king stepped in accompanied by his Luna, everywhere became silent that even the drop of a pin would be heard. Killian took his seat while Laura sat next to him, her eyes piercing at me and then Killian began to speak. โIt is so sad that someone born o
KILLIANI could feel the hair around my body all strained up, an impending air that breath forth danger filled the arena, everyone was curious as to how this was going to end, even I myself was curious about how this was going to end, but I knew that if I should win him on this challenge, then I become more powerful then ever and the fact that Ricky has been on wolfsbane for three days now gave me more advantage. Like the clothes were tugging hard on my body, I ripped off my shirt. โAhhhh!!!! โ in a loud roar that made the entire place trembled, I shifted into my Lycan form ready to devour the one who had stood in my way for a very long time now. He rushed towards me, both of us charged towards each other and the smashing of our foot on the ground was causing a huge dust at each step that we took. Both his hands held onto me as his claws were trying to dig a hole in my skin. โYou should have died peacefully brother when I gave you that chance, but I guess you wanted me to shred you
LAURASuddenly the smile on Ricky's face was disappearing as he tried to keep his balance, but it seemed to be impossible. โRicky! Ricky!! Ricky open your eyes!โ His eyes were shutting down until he fell on the floor and I struggled to jerked him up but that was not easy for me considering his size. I called on the guards that immediately helped me carried him over to the bed and then the doctor was summoned. I stood anxiously beside him while the doctor went ahead to examine him, my heart was racing profusely wondering what was going to happen to him. โDoctor what is happening, what is wrong with him?โ I asked once I was certain that the doctor had concluded his examination. He sighed loudly while he shock his head and it was doubt that something I should be worried about. โI must say Luna, too much wolvesbane was injected into him, enough to cause his death, it is a miracle that he stayed alive up still nowโโWhat are you saying, that he is going to die?โโI can't say My Luna, b
LAURA Although I could see how determined he was, but there was no way that I was going to give up, Rickyโs life depended on it and I fought so hard to get here. I picked up his water pile and began flowering the plants and flowers in his entire compound, but when he came out, he was so furious. โOh gracious goddess!! What do you think that you are doing?โโI am only trying to help, what else does it look like to you?โโDo you realize what you have just done, some plants are fragile and do not require water at all time to survive else they die, they have specific time that the water nutrients is bestowed upon them and now you just ruined it!! โHe yelled so loud while pointing at a particular plant which was beginning to turn yellow. โOh mine! How can it change it color just few minutes ago that I sprinkled it waterโโThat is the nature of the plant, it is rare to find, and when it is found, it is taken adequate care of. And now I have lost such a rare gem which I am not certain th
Laura watched all her enemies being put in their place, it was a long journey she had to fight and seated at the large balcony with a good view of the entire pack, she could not help but reminisce on how it all started. First she had to go through pains in the hands of Uncle Lucio after the brutal death of her parents which fate played an ill luck on her. Going to college was not an easy one but Laura thought that all this was finally going to be over when she found out that the Mighty Lycan king feared by everyone was her mate. But just when everything was about falling into place at the marking ceremony, he rejected her before everyone and left her there alone as he fled the pack, Laura felt her heart shattered into tiny pieces that moment, all hope was lost, she loved this man to the moon and back, she thought that this was the moon goddess way of compensating her for all the pain that she had to go through and yet it was just another series of pain. Some glared at her with mock
LAURA Once the doctor left my chamber, I summoned for Elliot who came at once. โMy Luna, you sent for me?โโYes Elliot, were you able to find Gwen?โโYes we did just as she was trying to escape from the pack through an unknown dungeon, she is now in the cell but there is something else that I think you should knowโHe spoke and I immediately sat upright, my eyes filled with curiosity. โWhat happened, is the king alright?โโYes Luna, he is fine, it is about your maid servant Rosette who is pregnantโโI asked that she remain locked up in her room but have access to everything that her baby might need which included foods and good medication, I am sorry Elliot but I can only release her when I am certain that she won't cause problem for us, did she do anything wrong?โโShe was served her meal early this morning and with the cutlery, she committed suicide!โโWhat!! Why would she kill herself, was she that desperate for power?โโI am sorry Luna, but it is not your fault, you did everythin
LAURAI sat there with all the strains of my bones so weak while I watched Ricky exhaust the last energy in him, he had been tortured by Killian when he first arrived at the riverside and I knew that it was only a matter of time before he finally exhausted his energy. Killian seeing that the rogues were all down and Ricky was contending with the last opponent, immediately rushed over to my side. โHello Laura, I guess this is where we finally say our goodbye, it was beautiful having you as my Luna and having to relish your body at all times, but this is where it all endsโHis words came as a whisper as he tried not to be heard by Ricky, he stretch forth his hand to grab my neck but I bite his hand so hard with the last strain of energy I had in me. โAhhh!!! You witch!! โ He slam me hard on the face as I fell down, blood dripping from my mouth due to how weak I was, but as he lift his hand to hit me again, Ricky arrives just in time and with one kick, Killian fell off the ground but
RICKY Slowly they came down the hills and was only a few miles away from where I stood with my claws lightly piercing at Killian. My eyes drifted down to her thighs and my Lycan was filled with rage that it was so difficult to control him. Laura's thighs were covered in bruises, it was no doubt that she had been tortured beyond the way anyone could endure. โWhy did you had to torture her to this extent, was it necessary, your feud was with me, Laura had no involvement in itโโThat is so low even from you, you kept having sex with her knowing that she was my wife, mine and not yours because she stopped being yours the moment you left her so she is involve in every rage that I feel, every pain that I feel is because of the both of you so I am going to keep torturing her until there is nothing left of herโโYou were the reason why I had to leave the woman that I love and yet you went ahead to take her as your Luna just so you can spite me, that is how low you can stoop Killian, so for
RICKYAfter waiting for a while and listening to Killian taunting me, there still wasn't sign of Laura, she was the reason I came and I had to act as soon as possible. For Killian, he was Certain that those chains could hold me captive for as long as he wanted, but I was the Lycan and wouldn't remain under his captive. I shifted to my Lycan form and stride towards him, the fear filled his eyes and despite how strong he use to be, the fear could not let him react. The more I came forward, the more he was drifting backward, trying to get away, but my mighty arm clasped onto his neck, I held on him tightly as he gasp unable to breath properly. โYou are not going to kill me, you do not have the ballsโ A disdainful smile filled his expression admit the pain he was feeling from my grip. โI seeโฆ Then let's give a try and see if I am going to murder you this time around or not!โ My deep voice echoed through the woods like a ranging torrent, my griped on him became more fierce and the fear
KILLIANWe arrived at the river side and spent the night there in the car, but the next day, we were woken by the sound of movement around the woods, slowly I unfurl my eyes to the sight of Ricky walking over to the river side. Although he was still afar, but no doubt it was him. โGwen! Ricky is here, go and scan around the environmentโ I called onto her and she immediately stepped out of the car and hurried into the woods. โLooks like he still got some regards for you after all, here I was thinking that he has bailed on youโ I teased but as she drifted her eyes over to the woods, a deep frown spread across her face. โNow I am going to enjoy you watch how I end his life, he survived my attack the first time and the toxic, do you think that he is going to be able to survive this time around, I am sorry but the moon goddess won't be on his side this time aroundโโKillian please, you have me, just go ahead and murder me or do whatever you want, torture me as long as you want, I am rea
LAURA Gwen and Melo was such close friends when Melo was alive, they dreamt so much of the day Melo will becomes the Luna, but I came into the picture and took that dream away her. โAlthough I know it doesn't count or matter to you right now, but I just thought that I should say it, I am sorry Gwen that my feelings for Ricky had to interfere with everything you girls had planned out for life, but he was my mate, there was so much bound between us and there was nothing that I could do, even if I were to start again, I would fall in love with Ricky again and again and never regret a moment of ifโโDoesn't it hurt you that he killed your parents, they were innocent and yet he murdered them in cold bloodโโAt first I was angry, but after thinking about it for a while, I realize that although he might be the all powerful Lycan king that was feared by everyone within Zion pack, but he was still permitted to make mistakes, he isn't perfect but his love for me is something that I can't den
RICKY I could barely close my eyes for the rest of the night, my eyes filled with worry while I waited for the guards to come back hoping for some positive news, but there was nothing from him the entire night and everywhere felt cold and shallow without Laura by my side. At dawn, I was woken by the servants knocking on the door, they stepped in once I opened the door for them, a new collection of outfit set out for me on the bed. โMy king, please pick an outfit of your choice from all of this!โโAre the guards that left the palace yesterday back?โ I inquired with my gaze fixed at the window, I had no intention whatsoever in whatever outfit that was set before me, all that mattered to me was Laura. โNo Sire, there hasn't been a word from themโ The servant girl replied with her head lowered as she did not dare look up while I was speaking. โLeave the clothes on the bed, you all can leave nowโ Just as they scurried out of the room, another knock came through as Eliot rushed in. โH
RICKYAfter the argument that I had with Laura, I waited for a while but there was no sign of her so I thought that it was only right to give her some space. Until it was time for dinner and I was summoned by the servants that dinner was ready, I scurried to the dining table hop to sort this out with Laura, but she was there. โWhere is the Luna?โ I asked the servants that stood there with my eyes scanning around. โShe is not here my King! โโWhat do you imply by she is not here, have you informed her that dinner has been served?โโWe tried, but she is not in her room, we haven't seen since earlier today when she left the palaceโโWhat!! โ I felt every strain my hair stand, my heart skipped with fear that this was more than just Laura finding space away from me. โShe hasn't returned since she left earlier today and why wasn't I informed of it?โโI am sorry My King, we thought that you were aware when she left and considering that she is the Luna, we can't restrict her movementโโSen
