Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 83
Darla's POV: The kiss didn't last a minute because Logan immediately pulled away and slipped away from the window sill. I leaned back, embarrassment washing over me as he gave me that look that spoke of judgement. He was shocked, of course, but something else lurked behind his eyes. I wanted it to last for a while. I enjoyed how soft his lips felt on mine. But he didn't kiss me back. He was too busy digesting the shock I gave him to even kiss me back. Or maybe he didn't want to? But why? Did he have someone else and didn't want to be unfaithful to her? "Why?" "What?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. "Why did you do that? Why did you kiss me?" "I-I couldn't help it, I guess," I replied, unable to even look him in the eye. "You were reading and in that moment, it was all I wanted to do." "Is that what this is for you?!" He snapped. "Something you just do because you wanted to?" "No!" I replied immediately. "I am really attracted to you, Logan

Lillie's POV: Today was a really busy day for me as it was wash day. Thankfully, Logan had nothing doing today so he was able to help me. Grumpily though. "You always help without complaining," I said to him as he mumbled about being tired and sleepy. "But I am tired right now," He sighed and leaned against the wall behind him. "Can't I have some rest?" I wiped my hand over my dress and turned to him. I knew Logan more than anyone else and I knew that he wasn't tired. There was something wrong. "Is something wrong?" I asked. He scoffed. "Should there be anything wrong?" I shrugged. "I don't know. But you don't look like your usual self." "Is it because I decided not to help?" "Not at all. Your aura is just not it today." "Well, I am a person and on some days, I don't feel good and I just want to be left alone." He wiped his hand over his apron and stalked off, leaving me surprised. Deciding I was going to have a talk with him later, I con

Lillie's POV: I was uncomfortable at first, as I had never done it before. Darwin asking me to touch myself for him, felt slightly strange in an exciting way. "I have not done it before." I whispered under my breath in embarrassment. "You haven't ever touched yourself before?" He asked, raising a brow in askance. "I have, but not in front of anyone. I would die of embarrassment if I did." "But not now." He smiled and reached for my feet, going on his knees as he kissed my ankles and inhaled softly. "Whenever you're with me, I want you to be free. I want you to be unbridled. To go crazy and I am going to make that possible. So touch yourself before me, right now, and get comfortable with it." His body slid against mine and his towel fell away, leaving him as naked as I was. His hard length brushing against my skin turned me on more than I already was and when he kissed me with open mouth kisses, it revealed a side of me I'd never seen before. A side of me that was bold an

Lillie's POV: Several days had passed, but Darwin and I still remained steadfast. We met at random spots, shared kisses in dark corners and made love to each other once it was dark. And tonight, while getting ready to clean, all I think of was meeting Darwin at our usual spot and making love. I drew close to the door leading to David's study. This was my last cleaning for the day so I was more than excited to finish it up. But when I pushed the door open, I found David seated before his desk and poring over a book before him. And as soon as he saw me, he went suddenly still and his once expressionless face was masked in annoyance. I stood by the door, waiting for his approval for me to come in and continue my cleaning. I could tell he didn't want me here. Or maybe he was just mad at me for everything that had been happening. I knew he gave Darwin and I his blessing, but a part of me didn't believe it. A part of me didn't believe that David could easily and casuall

Darwin: As I walked down the hall, all I thought about was Lillie and how we were going to spend our night. I was so lost in thought that I didn't see who was in front of me. I crashed into a slender body, my hand immediately stretching out to catch her before she fell. It was Lillie. My heart leapt in joy, but once I saw the look on her face, my expression darkened and I found myself asking her what was wrong. She broke down. She was tired, I could sense it. She was overwhelmed. It was normal for her to feel this way and I wished there was a way I could make life easier for her. She was no longer a slave. Or at least, I didn't see her as one. She was my woman and I was working towards taking that baggage off her. "C'mon," I tugged her towards my room, knowing her reluctance wasn't going to do her any good. She finally agreed and we both proceeded into my room. She stood at the middle, like it was the last place she wanted to be, but I gave her a stern look an

Lillie's POV: I was doing last minute cleaning for the day, as there wasn't a lot to be done, when Logan rushed into the wash house, breathing heavily. I straightened and watched as he bent, pressed his palm into his belly and continued to heave, raising my brows in askance. "What's wrong this time?" Swallowing, he wiped the sweat from his face and pointed towards the Palace's yard. "Don't you hear it?" I realised that I was too focused with other things that I didn't even hear the noise coming from there. I made my way towards the entrance of the wash house and as the noise became louder, I turned to Logan in askance. "What's happening outside?" "You're not going to believe," He placed a hand on his waist. "There's a mob of angry people outside right now and they're threatening to destroy the Palace. A few properties have been ruined in their anger." "Shit," I cursed under my breath, my eyes darting around the room. I was almost done, but I didn't want to
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 89
Darla's POV: Darwin's proposal to Lillie had come as a shock for me and mostly my mother. I couldn't exactly place Darwin and Lillie together as a couple as I was quite used to seeing her with David. Or maybe I was too absorbed in my own problems to see that there were two couples who had the hots for each other. All Emilia could talk about as we made our way towards the dining room was a wedding and how she had waited her whole life for one of her siblings to her married. While I paid no attention to what she was saying, I imagined myself with Logan in such position. Our secret romance getting out before everyone when he proposed to me. Then I remembered he was no Prince and probably didn't have to boldness to do what Darwin did today. My shoulders sagged. I hadn't seen him in days. He was suddenly not always at the garden whenever I went in search of him. I could barely sleep as all I could think of was him. However was I going to survive if he kept ignoring
Once Banished, Now A Luna Chapter 90
Darla's POV: He finally pulled away and walked away from me. A few seconds later, the lights turned on and Logan turned to look at me with folded arms. I peeled away from the wall and looked around to see we were in a small room. It was cosy and all. Not close to the luxury I was used to, but comfortable enough for someone to want to live in. "Someone was coming towards us and I'm sure you don't want to be seen with me." I glared at him. "Apparently, it's you who doesn't want to be seen with me, Logan. Quit acting like a fucking saint." He let out a sigh and raked his fingers through his hair. "Darla, stop it. I have spent the past few weeks fighting the urge to actually show you how I truly feel." "Why?" I laughed. "Why has it been so hard for you, huh? I am literally doing everything I can because I fucking want you, but I feel like I am being played with. So why is it hard on your own end?" "Because I feel the same way!" He snapped, hissing through gritted teeth. "

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
