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

DANIEL I sat in my studio, surrounded by half finished canvasses and paint splattered easels. I stared down at my current piece, a vibrant landscape that seemed to lock me with its serenity. My mind was a jumble of thoughts and emotions, all centered around Lillie's return. I couldn't ignore the feeling that she was hiding something. That her innocent look was a faux persona she put up to make everyone believe she was telling the truth. I dipped my brush into a vibrant shade of blue which was going to brush into a sky and thought about my brothers who seemed to have swallowed Lillie's story, hook, line and sinker. Didn't they see the deceit in her eyes? Didn't they hear the insincerity she so tried to conceal in her voice? My frustration intensified with each passing moment, the canvas taking the brunt of it as my brush strokes became more aggressive. I slapped the brush against the canvas just as I got on the edge of a spiral, watching as the paint flew of
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 73| A new strength
DARWIN The cool afternoon wind and the birds chirping in trees did nothing to soothe my raging nerves and the worry that marred my thoughts. I paced from one end of the garden, dialling Sarah's number over and over again and listening to it get directed to her voicemail. I didn't want to believe what Lillie said. I didn't want to believe that she was truly plotting against me and my brothers. "C'mon, pick up," I muttered through gritted teeth, barely able to hold back the frustration that came with trying to reach her. Lillie was right. I brought my hand to my head and ran my fingers through strands of my hair before dropping into the stone seat behind me. I trusted Sarah. I really did. She wasn't just a maid to me. She was someone I found trustworthy so why did she do this? How did she even muster enough courage to plot against us? Wasn't she supposed to be innocent? I blamed it all on a little naivety on my own end. I should have maintained a
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 74| The call
Darwin's POV: I hurried down the hall, pushing past servants and guards. David and Daniel were probably out and my study was quite far. The call ended and when I called back, it was unavailable. I paced around the hall, waiting for whoever called to call again, and when they did, I broke into a short run down the hall, bringing the phone to my ear. As soon as I got to the solar, I picked up the call and looked around to make sure there was no one lurking in the shadows. These days, it was almost impossible to tell who was for you and who wasn't. I wasn't ready to take that risk. Not anymore. I wasn't sure we could stand another group of people rising up against us and making things riskier than it already was. My attention was snapped back to the phone once I heard who it was on the phone. "Prince Darwin?" Sarah's distinct voice came, snapping me out of my thoughts. Surprise rippled through me and straightened. "Sarah? Is that you, Sarah? Where the f
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 75| The tour
Darwin: The call went dead in my ear and I stood there, frozen in shock as my thoughts went into conflict. Pacing from one end of the hall to the other, I placed a hand on my head and stared out into the horizon, watching as the afternoon sun slowly coloured the lands golden. It only made me feel gloomy. What the hell just happened in the space of the past few minutes? Jace? He was alive and out there? Quite confident too, owing to the statement he made about Sarah meaning what she said. I had no idea what to do. I made a move towards the first floor so I could speak to my brothers about it but I stopped myself, remembering how hurt Sarah had sounded. How she had broken down into tears as she confessed her reason for everything they did. I stood, transfixed in one place, knowing it wasn't the right thing to do if I told them. They were going to act out on their anger and cause more disaster. And I didn't want that. So I decided to go back to Lillie. S
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 76| An angry crowd
Lillie: Silence prevailed for a while as we silently walked down the tarred roads flanked by trees. The air smelled clean and the cool, evening breeze kissed my skin, softly whipping my hair on my face. I wondered why Darwin asked me that question or what exactly he was waiting to hear from me, and I also noticed how weird he'd been acting since he received that call. And although, it was none of my business, I was genuinely curious as to why it had him acting this way. I gave his outfit a good look. Fair. It was enough to keep him hidden from the crowd. It would blend him in, but I wasn't sure the aura he gave off would go unnoticed. He walked like he had everything handed to him on a platter of gold. Like he had seen nothing but better days, which was a contrast to that of the people from the street with shoulders that sagged according to how heavy their burden was or how tired of life they were. They walked like they had no reason to live. I couldn't say the same

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
