Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 64| Conflicted
LILLIE I struggled against the cuffs holding me against the bed. It had been two days since I found myself in this goddamned place! Funny how I had been jumping from frying pan to fire, from one bad situation to an even worse one. "Fucking bastards!" I spat and laid back in bed, my chest burning in anger. I hated this. I fucking did. Being confined to this bed did nothing but annoy me further than I already was. Not only was I angry, I had gone into full blown panic several times, wondering why I was held in this manner like I was a criminal. I'd yelled several times in the past few hours and all they did was inject me with sedatives so I could go back to sleep. And each time I woke up, all I did was struggle against the cuffs like I'd lost my memory, only to remember afterwards. "I am not a property of the Dark Moon Royalty!" I screamed. "I am my own person! Release me from here or I'll wreak havoc!" The door opened and I immediately went quiet. The lady I woke up
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 65| Going back home
LILLIE Moments later, Daniel and Darwin have returned to the ward. David pushed to his feet and walked over to them. I listened as they talked. Apparently, Darwin had spoken with the Doctor and she tendered her deepest apologies for what she did to me. But it wasn't relevant. So long as she didn't tender that apology to me, it was nothing. I saw the way she looked at me like I was nothing but a plague and an outcast. Apology my foot. "Lillie," Daniel walked over to me, his intent to bring me to my knees. "Don't you have anything to say? What happened? How did you get here?" "I don't think this is the right time to question her," Darwin made his way over to where I stood. "It's better we take her back home and allow her to get some rest before we begin to question her, don't you think?" "This clinic is uncomfortable anyway," David added. "Let's take her back." Daniel's jaw ticked. I could tell that his brothers supporting me had ticked him off.

LILLIE "Oh my God, you're alive!" Logan tightened his hold around me. "Yes, I am," I pulled away and cupped his cheeks, a wide smile on my face. "It's so good to see you." "And you too," His eyes brimmed with tears and he turned away. "I thought something bad happened to you. I thought that the Princes and the Alpha King had done something to you. I nearly ran mad thinking I'd lost you for good this time." I burst into laughter. Although I knew that this wasn't the right time to laugh, not when my brother was tearing up and being emotional over my return, I couldn't help it. "It's funny, right?" He sniffled and wiped his tears. I nodded. "Why would you think I was killed by the Alpha King and his brothers?" "I don't know why but I was just sure that they wanted to use every avenue they could to take you away from me. I knew it was what they wanted to do. To get rid of me also, especially after what we did." David who stood by the side, watching and l
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 67| I’m sorry
DARLA With one leg crossed over the other, I cosied up in my bed. I'd buried my nose in a book for the whole of today, trying futilely to distract myself from my thoughts. It was almost impossible as sometimes, I found myself drifting away from the words before me, into my thoughts and following the process, only to catch myself on the brink of a spiral. I blew out a breath and leaned back against my bed, watching the ceiling and drifting back into my thoughts. A knock on the door jolted me out of my thoughts and I found myself sitting up immediately, my eyes immediately going to the door. Who was at the door? I was sure it wasn't any of my brothers as they were really busy due to Lillie's return. My mother wasn't the type to knock, neither was my little sister. Pushing to my feet, I tossed my book to the bed and padded my feet towards the door, my brows raised in question. The shock on my face when I saw Logan standing by the door was so obvious
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 68| For tonight I’m yours
LILLIE As I walked back to the servant's quarters, all I could think of was how whoever I caught in an act or plotting against royalty always made it out of the palace one way or the other, even before anyone could realise. How they were able to escape was beyond me and knowing I didn't want to dwell too much on it, I decided to take a nap and rewind after very stressful experiences. When I finally woke up, it was already dusk. I got cleaned up, changed into clean clothing and tried to look presentable before heading towards the Palace to see David. I had a lot of doubts and I knew I had to address it. And there was no one else I could confide in, save for David. Silently praying that I would meet him alone, without Daniel being there, I headed up the steps. I stood before his door, took a deep breath before knocking on the door. "Come on in," A voice came and I pushed the door open. David, who was just about to take his seat, stopped and turned to look
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 69| Naked and Vulnerable
LILLIE Kisses, soft kisses. Caresses. Nips here and there. Fingers digging into skin and running through smooth silky hair. The sounds of moans and grunts, hisses, naughty phrases and words of appraisals. Legs entwined in each other and tangled under sheets. All of these combined together to release several hormones that contributed to my orgasm. We were yet to start but I already got my first orgasm and I could feel another one coming as David worked his fingers on my clit. I lay in bed, naked and vulnerable. I had no control or power over myself as I'd surrendered it all to Lucas. His lips returned to my core, lapping up the wetness that had built up over the time he'd been concentrating on another part of my body. "You taste so good," He sighed. "I want to keep getting you wet and just lapping up your sweet smelling juices for the rest of today but that would tire you out and make things really boring for you." He didn't even wait for me to speak before
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 70| The whirlwind of pleasure
DAVID It was one thing to have a woman in your bed when you woke up to the bright lights pouring out through the window. And it was another to have a Lillie, sleeping right beside me, butt naked and looking like she fell from the skies. She lay on her chest and her hair fanned out against her back, pouring down her skin and covering her cleavage. But she looked nothing short of sexy. Hell, she looked fucking good. Her pale skin looked even paler with a hint of saturated yellow, all thanks to the morning sunrise. My eyes traveled down her slender back, down the dip that curved her hip. My breath hitched when I took in her bare naked buttocks, half covered by the sheets. I was already hard, but seeing her made me even harder. Painfully hard. "Shit." I cursed under my breath and sighed, fighting back a laugh. I was deeply attracted to her. There was no denying it. I wanted her in my bed every time of the day. All I wanted was to wake up to her every morn
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 71| Something worth protecting
LILLIE I started to push the covers aside when there was a knock at the door, but David’s hand gently pressed me back down. That touch that had made my heart and body melt several times in the past few hours made my body twist again. "Don't worry yourself," he said softly. His voice had that commanding tone that always made me pause. Even though he was saying it to be kind to me, it still had the commandeering effect. He called out for whoever it was to enter.The door creaked open, and a maid stepped in, her head bowed low. But when she looked up and saw me, her eyes widened in surprise. I couldn’t blame her. A few days ago, I was one of them—a maid in this very castle—until I went missing. Now, here I was, lying in the king’s bed. Only thing was, it was where I belonged as his mate. Even after the rejection, our bond was strong enough to make us wind up in each other’s arms again and again. She quickly composed herself and walked over to the bedside table, placing the tray down

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
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 100
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
