Chapter Eighteen"Just relax, child. It's your imagination playing tricks on you." The old man patted Lyla's back. "Okay. Okay." She said wiping away her sweat. "Let's get you all cleaned up. Stay here while I get you some cloth and a bowl of water." He said before turning away from her and heading towards the door. "Wait. Do you think I'm sweating because I'm nervous?" she asked with a curious look. "No baby. It's your medications working so you can get healed faster. The doctor said you'll swear a lot for a quick recovery." He answered before leaving to get the bowl of water and a cloth. ************************************Hilda's journey was faster to Lumen's palace as the horse was able to run faster than expected. On getting there she highlighted on her horse and climbed straight to the palace's door. As she was about entering she got stopped by two hefty soldiers. "Who are you and what do you want?" the soldier asked."I was sent by the princess. Her royal highness Sarah
She responded this time sucking his lips with her hands rounded around his neck. For a moment they both were lost in a world of their own not minding the soldiers searching for them. And when the door fling opened and the soldiers saw their backs. They smiled at each other and closed the door behind them. Lika pushed his chest a bit making them break away from the kiss. "What was that for?" she asked still not taking her hand off his chest. Shyly looking down. He lifted her head so her eyes could meet his. And slightly planted a kiss on her head. "Hilda must be waiting. Let's get to her first," he replied and grabbed her hand softly while she followed from behind giving him directions. It took them about thirty minutes before they got to Lila's room to see Hilda dosing off on the chair she was on it was obvious she was tired. "Hey, Hilda. You've got to wake up." Lila quickly tapped her on the shoulder. "What took you so long Lila? I waited for about twenty minutes. What went wr
Kyrian still worried requested his guards to post Lyla's picture all over the town. "I think I've had enough of this. I'm done. Guards!" he shouted making the whole of the palace shake with fear and causing many guards to come at his order. "Yes, Alpha." They bowed at his presence. "Have my Wife's picture sketched and placed on all the walls of the town letting people know that whosoever finds the Luna will be compensated immensely," he said now relaxing on his throne. "Yes, Alpha. Your wish is our command! We live only to serve you!" and with that they got disseminated. "Hey you!" he called the maid who was carrying a basket of clothes, gesturing to her to come. "Yes your highness." she bowed to him trying to avoid his eyes. "Raise your head!" he ordered. Lila got scared and her heart started to beat faster against her chest which Kyrian could hear from his sit and this made him get down from his throne. As many questions keep going through her mind. "Could he be aware I'm i
Chapter Twenty-one "What do you mean?" Kyrian let Abel down from the wall which he hung him on. Making him crash to the ground. Lila covered her hands with her mouth restricting herself from making a sound. And before she could break the doors open she heard the soldiers coming and quickly left hiding in one of the palace walls while she had them whisper some words to themselves but since she couldn't hear them well she used her werewolf ability to eavesdrop on them."He thinks he's better than us since he is the Alpha." One of the werewolf soldiers told the other two werewolf soldiers walking with him. "I sometimes wish we could just rebel against him." The other soldier answered. "I think I'm not against it either. I mean he gets to kill people anyhow he dims fit and all people could say is he was under a voice for fuck sake!" The last soldier responded to the other two angrily. "Keep your voice down man. Someone can hear us." One of them cursioned the other. Lila stopped us
Chapter Twenty-Two"You can't possibly know with this. She might be wounded slightly." The man replied. "She's dead," she replied before bursting into tears. "I'm so sorry child." The old man patted her back while Lyla cried her eyes out all through. And after what seemed like thirty minutes she slept off. The old man pecked her on the head and covered her up with a blanket while he watched the last drop of tears roll down her cheeks. "Poor child." He finally said and took up the plates they used an hour ago. *************************************Liam summoned some soldiers secretly. Some were his she some belonged to Kyrian. They were rebels and every one of them bore grudges against Kyrain. Either for killing their friends, lovers, and a lot more reasons. "We are gathered here today cause there has been a slight issue with our plan as of two days ago." he finally spoke staring at them one after the other. "And so we have to wait for some other time to get our plans carried o
Chapter Twenty-Three"I don't…I don't understand. Who's gone?" he asked looking confused. "I mean she's gone. Hilda's gone. I can't find her." she said adjusting her hair. "I told her not to fucking leave the room… have you tried checking everywhere in the place?" he asked searching through her eyes like someone waiting for a positive result. "Yes. I still can't find her. It's very alarming. I mean…" she sat on the bed looking a bit devastated. "You know what, Don't panic. Let's see if we get to hear any strange news. I think my wounds are healing a bit faster." he said going to his wardrobe to get himself dressed. "I'd better leave before anyone sees me come out of your room again," she said walking towards the door but her movement got restricted when Abel dragged her back for a kiss which was done passionately. "Hey, be careful out there. Don't get hurt. And when you need me just call my name. Within the palace. I'll come at once. I wish to spend more time with you but now is
Chapter Twenty-Four"Good morning Dad." Lila greeted her dad yawning and stretching. "Morning love. I love the smile on your face. Keep smiling for me. I will love it." he replied walking towards her to hug her. "Okay. I would love to take a stroll. And also help you at the restaurant today." she replied, trying to get out of bed with the aid of her walking stick. "It's okay baby, let's go for a walk then. I think we should do this morning's exercise without your walking stick. Just lean on me, it will aid you faster." they both giggled and went out and in hand."I guess I should start doing something. More like assisting you?" tossing her hair to the back asking the old man. "I would gladly accept the help, Emily," he replied to her with a smile on his face. Shopping to stroke her hair before he assisted her in walking around. "I love the name, Emily. It's fit for a princess." Lyla replied, smiling sheepishly. "And you are more than a princess. You are a queen, a Luna, and a w
Chapter Twenty-Five"She is not living a life of her own." the doctor replied."I'm confused. What do you mean she's not living a life of her own?" Abel asked. "What I meant is she…" but before the doctor could finish his statement they heard a knock on the door which cut short their conversation. "Come in." the doctor responded. Emerald walked her gently staring at the both of them but quickly replied to the doctor cause she realized she silent for a while. "I'm here to see my friend," she told the doctor holding her long gown at both sides. "Oh. The young lady on the bed is your friend?" the doctor asked her."Yes. She is," she replied the doctor. Bowing to Abel. "Thank, you so much sir." And with that, she walked up to Lila's bed feeling her body and she noticed that her fever was gone. She held her hand and kissed it. Not minding the presence of Abel and the doctor. "You will be fine baby. I assure you," she said adjusting her friend's hair. "Can we talk outside?" Abel as
