THE FORGOTTEN LUNA Chapter 11
KAEL. Landon volunteered to pick up the documents from Adessa’s office. As soon as he left and it was just the two of us, Dexter looked at me with raised brows. “Are you okay?”“No. Adessa left.” I grunted in a low voice. “I heard.”“She took the wedding ring with her.”He shrugged his shoulders and eased back into his chair. “I expected that.”My hand resting on the table coiled into a tight fist. “Send someone to check all pawn and jewelry shops around the territory and the nearby cities. I want it back in my hands. I’ll send you the description, including the code engraved inside it.”“I’ll do that.”“Do you know if she’s seeing someone?” I asked after a while.“What do you mean?”“She said our marriage was already on the rocks before I had an accident, and we were already discussing divorce. I wonder if there was any man between us.” Although Adessa claimed it was because of Desiree and me, I wanted to know more. He shrugged his shoulders again before speaking. “I didn’t see an

KAEL.The day went by so slowly. My personal doctor was here and checked all my vitals. According to him, it appeared that I had recovered well, but he still advised me to take things slow and not strain myself by overworking.If he only knew I was not even thinking about work.After lunch, Desiree asked if we could go around the open market as it officially opened today, marking the start of spring. Since I had no intention of working, I agreed.While we were there, she tried to hold my hand, but it felt wrong as I hadn’t officially announced my divorce from Adessa, so I told her to keep her hands off mine for now. She didn’t like it, but she didn’t complain, but I was sure she would scold me later. We went around, and some of my people approached us, but no one seemed to ask about Adessa, but they were ignoring Desiree as well. Until one female approached me and gave me a bouquet of flowers. I thought it was for me, but she wanted me to give it to Adessa. She said she was her bigg

KAEL. “If you press a fucking alarm, you will surely not like what I’m going to do with you.”“This is harassment, sir.”“No. This is frustration, sir! I want my ring back. My wife is missing. She has that ring, and I want to know who sold it here!” I snapped at him.He swallowed. “Do you have a wife?” I asked him. He nodded. “Do you love her?” He nodded again.“I have a wife, too. I want her back, but I don’t know where to start.” I put my hand in my back pocket and pulled out my wallet. I opened it and took out stacks of bills, placing them on the counter in front of him. “Now, I just want to see the CCTV of the person who left this ring. And who bought it. Also the buyer’s information on when he will come to pick it up. I meant no harm. I want to know so I can buy it from him.” I was talking calmly this time. He didn’t talk, but his eyes were on the cash in front of him. “You can buy many things with that money. Buy something for your wife or kids if you have any. I’m not e

ADESSA.My hands were trembling, and I knew I couldn’t drive further. I had been in this car for the last four hours, driving slowly and carefully to make sure I would never hit anyone or anything. Thankfully, no one was following me, or I would easily get caught. I didn’t like driving. But I had no choice. I had to get away before someone found the bodies of the men I killed. I turned off the engine and rested my forehead against the steering wheel. I had no idea where to go.I ended up in Bayson Bay, a human territory. Although humans were very much aware of the existence of shifters like me, we continued to live in harmony. But for their safety, they seldom travel or stay in shifters’ territory, but we were often found in theirs. So, I knew I could thrive well in this place. The problem was, I had to hide my identity, and this place being near Kael and Draco’s pack, I would easily be caught here. I needed to go further. I wasn’t even sure if the men I killed were just ordinary

ADESSA.“Where will you find a couple of thousand to pay it back?” I let out a sigh, and my shoulders slumped. “I’ll think of something.”“We don’t take jewelry here. We have a pawnshop on the other side of the city.”“Do you think you can ask your boss to make an exception? I don’t have enough money to get to the end of the city. Please.”She looked at me, and we stared at each other for a while before she took a deep breath. “I’m the manager here. I can make an exception, but are you sure you’ll return for this? I also have to put an interest on the amount you will loan.”I nodded. “I will come back. I don’t want to lose that either.”“Fine. Let me check this first and label it. Sit there.”I nodded and went to the nearby couch to wait. I had no idea how long I waited. When she came back, she handed me two thousand, two hundred dollars. She informed me that the listed amount was two thousand. Her eyes told me not to question anymore, but I wanted to assume the extra two hundred came

MIRANDA.Even before I found out Dexter was my mate, I was already attracted to him. But he was just a Beta, and I dreamed of bigger things. I wanted to be a Luna.Dexter was smart enough not to tell anyone that I was his mate until we were able to find time to talk. Since Khalid and I were not fated mates, even if in the end he marked me, he was not able to feel my infidelity. The same way Dexter never felt anything whenever I had sex with Khalid. Only fated mates who marked each other could feel their mate’s infidelity. Without the bond sealed by marking, everyone was free to fuck around. So I fucked around behind my husband’s back. Sex with Dexter was explosive. From the get-go, I knew I wanted him, but I also wanted this pack. So there was no way I was leaving Khalid for him. I did my best to make him understand. I swayed him to continue with our pretension that we had nothing while formulating a plan together. Besides, Dexter didn’t want to step down from his position. Like

KAEL. I played the video I got from the jewelry shop on my TV and watched it repeatedly, trying to make sense of her actions. She received a small amount of money. I could tell by the number of bills she had received. Was she stupid enough to believe the ring had no value?I also noticed she was trembling when she entered the shop. It was not a clear video, but I could tell by the way she hugged herself and shook her hands. Her demeanor was too different from that of confident Adessa, who had signed our divorce papers. She looked lost in that video. As if she was afraid of something or someone. “Fuck!” My hands rose to my head, and I gripped my hair tightly. I shouldn’t worry about her and just focus on getting the ring back.Right. She was moving on. I must do the same. I shut off the TV and threw the remote control on the couch nearby before turning off the bedlamp.I forced myself to sleep, but sleep seemed to be impossible at the moment because of the many thoughts running th

KAEL. I woke up early today, ready to drive to Bayson Bay to meet up with the buyer of Adessa’s ring. I hope he wouldn’t make it hard for me, as I am willing to pay a hefty sum of money to get it back.After that, I also planned to drive around the area to check if she was there. Not for anything but to make sure she was safe and okay. The entire week, I made time to watch all the videos on my phone and read all the notes that I found inside my wallet. They were small pieces of paper that were tucked in between my cards. They all came from her, and I kept them. Nothing much was written there but just her wishing me a good day or telling me that she was excited and looking forward to our date nights.But there was no I love you, or I miss you—a clear indication that what we had was not born out of love. But I could feel her excitement.And we do have date nights. The Adessa I could picture while reading the notes and the Adessa that giggles in every video I took of her was too differ

ADESSA.After dinner, I was given time to rest before I was informed there was a cocktail party in one of the pavilions—a welcome celebration for the participants of the Royal Games and I would be attending. While they were dressing me up, I voiced some complaints about the lack of advance notice. Of course, I was excited. Anything that would let me see and talk to Kael was always something I looked forward to. So I was glad this was a cocktail party setting and not some formal dinner or such.I was presented with many dresses, and I finally chose the color red. This was the first time I would be wearing one as I always thought this color was too bold, and I always felt unworthy to wear it. But not anymore.Aside from wanting to look good in front of my husband, I want the others to see me as a strong female, and if they think they could use me for the title I hold, then they need to think twice. I was so excited for tonight, but then someone came to my room and briefed me on the eve

ADESSA.I never wanted to stop talking about my mother because I had so many questions, but I didn’t have a choice. The King refused to answer more questions. He said he was tired and we could talk about her some other time, but he made me swear not to repeat our conversation with anyone. During dinner, I tried to sway Esegar and Esaias, my two youngest brothers, who were seated on my sides, if they had an idea of what the task might be. They didn’t want to say anything, but in the end, Esaias told me there was a part where there would be a duel, and the loser’s head would be cut off in the end. He also added that even if the challenge was not a duel, there was still a chance of a head being cut off for every stage.My mouth hung open, and I felt my face burn as I listened to him. A part of me wanted to believe it was a joke, but he looked so serious when he said that, and he talked in a loud voice so everyone at the table heard him. I was dumbfounded as tears pooled in my eyes.
THE FORGOTTEN LUNA Chapter 103
ADESSA.“And you did nothing to help her?” My voice was accusatory.The King’s eyes remained closed with his head leaning back against his seat. If I hadn’t seen his hand coiled into a tight fist, I would have thought he drifted off to sleep because he hadn’t replied for a long time. “So that was it. She got pregnant, and she had to solve that on her own.” I said in a bitter tone. “She was just as hard-headed as you are. She told me she didn’t need me, and before I could discuss things with her, she was gone.”“Please tell me you looked for her.”“My hands were tied…”“You are the King of this Kingdom! Your word is everyone’s command, and you got terrified?” Ironic that I was pointing out how powerful and respected he was, and yet I was raising my voice at him. “The other Guardians asked me if we had an affair. I denied it. I denied I was the father of her child.”My hand clamped over my mouth as I shook my head.“I thought I was protecting her. No one could command me to tell the t

ADESSA.My feet felt like they were gliding in the air as we walked out of the arena and were ushered into a coach that would drive us back to the palace. My brothers were in different cars, and I was the only one sharing this vehicle with the King. Despite my father’s dark expression, I couldn’t help but smile.“If you think I will allow Kael to finish the game…” he began. “Of course you will, Father!” I exclaimed sweetly, not letting my anger for him surface. I had to play smart if I wanted to make sure Kael stayed in the game. I slightly turned to face him, both hands clamped over his forearm. His gaze lingered on my hands before he tilted his head to meet my eyes. “He earned the right to be included, like all the other eleven dashing men out there. And if, in the end, he wins, then it means he is the rightful husband for your only daughter.” He scoffed before turning his gaze back to the front while my hands remained holding him. “A King will never resort to cheating and will

KAEL. “Kingdom of Absalom, welcome! Let the Royal Games begin!” The King’s voice roared around the arena, and the crowd applauded while goosebumps rose from my skin. This was it. There was no turning back.Never did I imagine I would be part of something I only read about while I was studying at the Alpha University. The other Alphas and I used to joke about this game. We wondered what the men had faced in the challenges and if they made it out alive. No one knew. As to what we’ve learned, they were not allowed to discuss it outside after the game was over.So, we joked about dragons and orcs and laughed about how we would decapitate their heads if we were there.But they didn’t look funny anymore. This was real life, and I had no idea what awaited me inside.All I knew was that we were asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement stating that none of the things that would transpire inside should be made public and a waiver that we entered of our own accord, knowing the possibilities of

ADESSA.“His second in command, Beta Landon Crawford of the IronCrest Pack.” The speaker continued, and I was left stunned.I was not able to stop my eyes from growing bigger this time, and Kael had seen that. A smirk tugged on his mouth as he stopped on the spot where he was to wait for his Beta. As soon as Landon was just a few feet from him, he began walking again while I was still trying to make sense of everything. Did Kael realize Dexter hated me? That taking him meant he would jeopardize him from winning? How was he able to fix everything in just a few days? Did he fly home to fix this and fly back here? How did he complete the registration for the games if he had been traveling? But how was he able to make Landon his Beta if he wasn’t home?There were too many questions in my head, and I knew I would never get an answer. But it certainly didn’t matter anymore. He was here, and Landon was acknowledged as his Beta. If there was anyone I could trust besides Kael, it was this m

ADESSA.Draco was kneeling before my father and me, while Beta Roman was on his left. Their heads were bowing down as if they were honorable knights. I heard him and his Beta acknowledge us, but I refused to respond to them.“Adessa, bestow him the pin of honor,” Father said in a low voice. My gaze tilted down, but I refused to budge.“Do you want to stay here longer than you should?” Father’s voice was calm, but I could feel the storm within.With a face devoid of any emotion, I turned to my right and took the pin handed to me by a consort. I pinned it on his shoulder without making any noise.“The code of blessing, Princess Adessa.” The consort beside me murmured, reminding me of what I was instructed to do and say for the ceremony.“I will never bless you, Alpha Draco. May you never make it to the end of the game.” I said in a voice just enough for us to hear, and I could tell my father was struggling not to lash out at me. But before anyone could force me to do my role, he had a

ADESSA. I had no idea what to feel once the result of my pregnancy came out. Negative. A part of me was grieving because Kael and I wanted to have a child, and another part was relieved that no other person I loved would be pushed into this messy life I had. But aside from that, nothing had changed.I threw all my doubts about Kael. Danielle was right. There are people worth taking risks for, and I would risk it all for Kael.If he turned out to be the bad man in the end, at least I had no one to blame but myself. Rather than turning my back on him and finding out they were all wrong about him.He might not be my husband anymore, but I remembered the vows I made to him in that car—for richer and for poorer, in sickness and health—I promised to honor and cherish him. I planned to keep the end of my vow, even if I didn’t have the ring anymore that we had that day, as I had taken it off and left it in the car when we attended the Moonlight Ball. I’d been longing to see Kael. The days

ADESSA. I whimpered softly before fluttering my lashes. The bright lights blinded me for a millisecond before I was able to open my eyes completely and found everyone staring at me—as if I were a subject on a petri dish. “Am I dead?” I asked. “Adessa!” The king hissed, and I closed my eyes immediately.“I’m sorry, Father. I just…”“Enough. We will talk about that in private. You need to be checked first.”I just nodded my head before opening my eyes. They assisted me into a sitting position before they checked my vitals. After a while, the physician said nothing was wrong, and it could only be pointed to exhaustion. He then asked the King if he wanted him to do sets of tests to check further.Even before he could answer, I had already blurted out my own question. “Can you check if I’m pregnant?”I knew I was being bold, but the earlier I could find out, the earlier I could plead to stop the Royal Games. “Do you think you are?” The King’s jaw tightened as he asked.“I’m already del
