Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 37| Brotherly love
LILLIEI scrunch my nose from the smell of the dirt as I took the garbage can out.I guess that this was what it took to get the information that I needed. It was the only way to Logan’s freedom.“Lillie!” I heard someone scream. I turned and looked in the direction of the scream. It was Logan. What did he think he was doing? Running in his condition.“Are you mad? How can you be running knowing the state of your health?” I asked him. I could already feel myself heating up in anger. He ended up running all the way to where I was, with his hair flying in the wind. I was on the verge of slapping him, but I held myself back. “I’m sorry,” he said, with a serious look on his face. All the anger in my system managed to evaporate as soon as he apologized. “What is it? Why were you running?” I asked in a much softer tone. I couldn’t bear to be mad at him for long. He was too adorable even if he hated being told that. “I had just finished speaking to Darla.” The shock on my face was eviden

DAVIDThe guards bowed down at the gates as we parked the car. I was glad to finally be out of that hell of a meeting that Daniel and I had with investors of Roving Heights pack. It was going to be a success and I was willing to bet all of my money on it. Not that Daniel would mind. He was the luckier man when it came to placing bets among the three of us. My ears were already hurting as we approached the pack. The mini party that mom had been begging me for was happening in full swing. The floor was even vibrating from all the music that was playing. I could only imagine how loud it was.“Seems like the birthday boy is going to have the time of his life,” Daniel joked, making me shoot him a glance while containing my smile. It was the three of us’ birthday. I didn’t know why Daniel always took it like it was only mine. Not just him, Darwin had the same funny habit. My brothers had always thought of me as my father’s favorite, but I knew for a fact that I wasn’t. He had only ever ma

DAVIDAll eyes were on me as I stood up immediately. Two things made me stand up. Shock and anger. I could feel Daniel’s presence behind me. Darwin had stood up immediately. “Stay back with mom, Darla and Emilia,” I said, mind linking him. “What happened? Why did you stand up like that?” Daniel asked as we made our way out of the palace with the guard walking ahead of us. “He just came to inform me that Jace had escaped,” I said, without turning back. The information made Daniel stop in his tracks. “How could they be so careless?!” he asked, with his voice echoing in the darkness. He wasn’t even as angry as I was. I just wasn’t voicing out my anger. We hurried to the dungeon where Jace was held captive. It was a place that was tight with security so I was wondering how he had managed to escape. We spotted three bodies not lying far from each other. The three of them were guards. There was blood spurring from their necks. The last body was right in front of the cell. The guard fin

LILLIEI had to stop myself from gasping for the second time in a row as his lips found mine. They always do and he made me know that. He was pressing my back to the wall behind me just the way he had done the first time. His tongue was causing a burning sensation on the injury that he had caused with his bite on my lower lip. I flinched each time as he grazed his tongue against my lip. His hands were still firmly around my waist.“You’re mine, Lillie,” he groaned. “And nobody can change that fact. Nobody can take what was mine.”“Yours,” I found myself whispering back as his lips found my neck. One of my hands was gliding through his back, trying to feel all of him. He knew exactly what he was going. His tongue made contact with my neck, making me pull my hair to the side to give him more space as I moaned his name softly. I could feel him hardening against my belly. He ran his free through my hair, grabbing more and more of it as he went back to devour my lips. His tongue was glid

DAVID Lillie had disappeared before I opened my eyes, but I can’t say I didn’t expect it. I slept for the rest of the day, and had to get ready for our birthday party - which was to be held the next night. Left for me, I would have canceled, but I didn’t want mother to worry. I wanted to keep everything about Jace under wraps until I got to the bottom of what was going on. The following day passed by quickly, and before I knew it, it was time to party. My mother had made me promise that I would stay away from the palace. In fact, she made both me and Daniel promise. Somehow, it made me feel like Darwin was her favorite child. But then, what was the surprise in the whole party if he was going to join in taking care of it? I looked out for Lillie, but I didn’t see her around.Something made me feel like she was purposely staying away from me for some reason. And maybe it was for the better if she didn’t come before me again. I didn’t even feel guilty about what had happened the nigh

LILLIEI could feel his gaze on me the whole evening. In fact, I had seen him looking for me in the crowd as he spoke to the princess of Crescent pack. And I could tell that he had been looking for me all evening. I could feel his body calling out to me. I tried all that I could not to take heed to the way his body called out to mine. I could still feel his touch lingering on my skin. Even after I had baths, scrubbing my skin so hard that it was tender, I could still feel his touch and his tongue gliding around my nipples. “Watch it,” one of the guests almost shrieked as I almost dropped her drink. “I’m sorry ma’am,” I apologized.As soon as the party had started to come to an end, I begged one of the maid to fill in for me, with promise of a small tip. She didn’t even hesitate to agree. Something told me that he would order me to his room and I was extremely ready for him. I took cautious but shaky steps as I made my way upstairs to his room. I didn’t even knock. I walked right i

DAVID“Good morning, Alpha David,” I heard two voices greet. The blinds were immediately opened. Fuck, I wasn’t even sure we shut them down yesterday. I grabbed her waist and grabbed her closer to me. She moaned, as I managed to open my eyes. The amount of drinks I had the day before were having a serious effect on me and my head was hurting a great deal. I could make out the figures of Darwin and Daniel. I looked down at Lillie immediately to check if she was properly covered. I knew that she wouldn’t have liked being so exposed in front of my brothers. “What is it?” I snapped. “Couldn’t you knock?”Darwin opened his mouth to say something but Daniel raised his hand, showing that he was going to handle it. “We have been at your door for the past thirty minutes knocking,” he announced. “Look how red our knuckles have become. We thought you had committed suicide without giving anybody any heads up.”I frowned, before managing to get up. “Looks like you both had the time of your liv
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 44| Abducted
LILLIE’S POVI found myself smelling Dave’s shirt as I made my way back to the servant quarters. His clothes were still fresh upon even if I had an evening full of troubles the day before. The hall was unusually silent as I made my way through. I understood that nobody was awake yet by I could sense that there was something wrong. I made my way in and saw a bright light shining from the end of the hall. I wanted to ignore it at first but as I was about to enter my room, the light was continuously shining, dragging me towards it. I wondered if it was the people who were handling the night duty the night before. I understood that they were probably tired from staying at alert for so long. They had to over work themselves yesterday because of the party going on. They would have been banished from the palace if anything at all went wrong. I peered closer. It was any torch lights from them. I wanted to call out and ask if anything or anyone was there. I ended up biting my lips and keepi

Once Banished, Now A Luna Dearest gentle reader,
This has been an emotional roller coaster for me. This story began in January, and since then, a lot of things have happened. I’ve been sick, I’ve had countless visits to the hospital, gotten an operation, entered final year in medical school, a lot of things actually. And finally, after nine months, I get to say goodbye to the beautiful Morris family, and everyone involved in their story. It wasn’t easy, but you all stood by me. I hope you enjoyed this story as much I almost enjoyed writing it. And I hope to see you again in my next project coming in OCTOBER, and my debut billionaire romance novel. Thank you all. Xoxo, Bella Hemsworth.
Once Banished, Now A Luna Epilogue
SEVEN MONTHS LATER AUTHOR The sound of the door closing had everyone up on their feet. Daniel, Darwin, Lillie who had been fidgeting on her seat, Queen Sophia, even little Emilia. The doctor blinked twice, fairly surprised by how fast they had all stood. All the set of eyes that peered at her caused her to clear her throat. She couldn’t blame them for being anxious. Princess Darla had been in the labor room for over eight hours. “How’s everything? How’s she? How’s…?” Lillie moved to the front, and the doctor smiled at her. “Everything is fine, your highness. Princess Darla has just delivered two beautiful and handsome children.” Silence hung in the air for three brief seconds. Yes. The doctor had counted. “Does this mean…?” Lillie asked with wide eyes. “Yes.” The tall lady replied. “Twins.” “Oh my God!” Lillie screamed, tears in her eyes as she watched everyone else rush into the room. They were supposed to have gone in one by one, but even the doctor knew better than to tr
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 105
Lillie’s POV *THREE WEEKS LATER* I stood outside Darla’s room, taking a deep breath before knocking softly. No response, but I knew she was in there. I could hear her crying from where I stood. Even her large twin doors had done nothing to mask the sound of her sorry. I turned mine into a ball in my throat and swallowed hard to push it down to my stomach. It couldn’t come out, not today. I reached for her door knob, opened the door and found her sitting on the edge of her bed, her face pale, her eyes swollen from crying. The black dress Darwin had gotten for her lay untouched in a rumpled mess beside her."Darla, you need to get ready," I said gently, stepping inside. "It’s time."She shook her head, her hands trembling as they gripped the sheets. "I can’t," she whispered. "If I get dressed… if I go downstairs… it means he’s really gone. That Logan is really gone, and I’ll never see him again. The love of my life, Lillie… the father of my child." Her voice cracked, her should

David’s POV Blood. All over the room. Dripping from every wound in my body. I didn’t need to see my reflection in the mirror to know I had been beaten up real good. Yet, when I saw it, a bitter chuckle forced its way out of my throat. I had managed to kill them all even in my state. The fuckers must have known they wouldn’t be able to stand a chance, hence why they had to poison me. In those last minutes of my life, the faces of my brothers flashed in my mind as I sat on my bed. My brothers, my sisters, my darling mother who had seen so much loss in her time. I never thought I’d see them again. I thought that, by the time they reached the hospital, I’d be long gone. When the rogues came, I was sure it was over. They had knives, weapons—I barely had the strength to lift my arms, but something inside me, something primal, wouldn’t let me give up. Not yet. Not before seeing my family one last time. If they could get to me, that is. There was no guarantee they had been able to make it
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 103
Darwin’s POV Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but there wasn’t a crown on my head. However, I knew I had stepped into David’s shoes the moment he was hospitalized. It suddenly made sense why he had been so stoic and protective of everyone. For the first time in a long time, I could feel what he felt. The weight of the world resting on my shoulders. My world, and that of Dark Moon at large. Even as I ripped Jace’s head from his neck, the reality of what had just happened sank deeper as I looked at him—the cousin who once laughed with us as children, now reduced to this: A lifeless head in my hands. Who would have thought I would be the one to end his life? Who would have thought that he’ll be the one to turn our lives around? To hurt my brothers, to betray the only family he could call his? His eyes, once filled with arrogance and ambition, were now vacant, staring up at the sky even in his death. But now, he would be unable to see any fucking thing. His life had ended.
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 102
Darwin: The battle was far more brutal than expected. Dead bodies lay across the ground, a mix of our own people, rogues and rebel soldiers. Daniel and I were yet to turn as we were preserving our energy to fight our common enemy. A wolf lunged at me and I caught it by its collar and snapped its next in one move. It dropped to the ground, slowly shifting back to its human form as it took its last breath. Another one came and I sank my claws into it, twisting and tearing its guts out so it lay on the floor in a disgusting pile. I only one had one intention as I made my way towards the Palace. And that was to make sure Lillie and my family members were safe. After I'd confirmed that they were, I would return here and find Jace. The hall was empty. Void of anyone, so I knew they had all been carted away to safety to the Palace's secret basement. I heard a familar sob and hurried towards the corner leading to the underground building. Lillie was crouched beside Logan w
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 101
Lillie's POV: Tonight was a wedding and the whole Palace was bright with the hustle and bustle of activities. A decorating team had been employed to decorate the area and it had gone on for about two days. Tonight, they were finishing up the rest of the decorations as guests began to arrive. I heard the Queen's voice from where I stood in Darla's room. She was yelling at the decorating team for their slow pace and we all laughed when she asked one of the ladies to get out of her sight. "It's not mother's wedding and yet, she yells like it's hers." Emilia said from where she stood, our beautiful flower girl, getting dressed by some of the maids. Darla chuckled from where she sat in front of her vanity table. "Mother can be a control freak at times. Don't tell her I said this, or she's going to serve my body to the guests." Emilia grinned in mischief and I instantly knew she was going to use emotional blackmail now that she had power over Darla. "Wh

Lillie's POV: Things were going smoothly. More than I expected. I banished the thoughts of something ruining the good time everyone was having and decided to, for once in my life, be happy that things were going the way I wanted. Queen Sofia was forced to interceed on Logan's behalf and the embargo of being a slave was taken off him. Darla made it a point of duty to remind her every waking moment of the day until the Queen decided to have rites held on Logan's behalf. And now, they were seen always having little cute moments around the palace. Logan and Darla were always found in each other's arm and I always saw the look on the Queen's face. Even after taking the banishment off Logan's head, she still wasn't in approval of their relationship. But as time went on, she became busy with other things and paid them no heed until I found her one day, smiling at Darla and Logan as they sat at the porch. Darla had her head on Logan's lap as he read her a book. It was such a
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 99
Lillie's POV: I paced from one end of the room to the other, trying to come up with words to say to my brother. Logan stood, head bowed low, at the other end of the room. I could tell he was feeling extremely bad, but not guilty. He finally stood tall, steeling his expression as he stared right at me. "What are you going to do? Judge me for following my heart? Call that a mistake also?" I honestly had nothing to say to him if I was being honest. I was just surprised that Logan and Darla were ever a thing. I wasn't angry or judgemental. I just didn't like how it had been hidden from me. Did Logan not trust me? Or hadn't I been a good enough elder sister for him to talk to? These were the thoughts that plagued my mind. I turned to him and sighed. "When did you start Dating Darla?" "We're not... dating," He replied. "Though we really like each other a lot." "So when did all these start?" He scoffed. "Do I have to tell you all the details?" "Yes. I have to know." I
