"You attacked her first, you knew we were mated and yet you slapped her. How dare you hit Luna?""What?" Alexa's face went blank. "You were in need of help and I decided to help.""So I am that pitiful?" Adrian demanded, taking a deep sigh he turned around. "Go home Alexa and let this be the last time you lay a finger on her."He didn't want to stress the matter further and Luna wasn't in the mood to drag words with Alexa. She had simply let her off with three slaps and a humiliation.Luna glanced back at Alexa and smirked. This was only the beginning of her making sure Adrian never made Alexa the Luna. Even though she wouldn't end up with Adrian in the future. She was going to make sure Alexa never ends up together with him. It was kind of selfish of her but she cared less.'You just wait.' Alexa said to herself as she stood to her feet and headed out of the store. She was radiating in anger and realized that they were here to pick up their engagement outfit. That should be her in th
He closed an eye and did the love shape with his right hand fingers. "Yes it is me."She threw herself at him and pulled him into a tight hug. He hugged her back and her anger melted like ice. She rubbed her head against his chest and inhaled his scent. He scented perfectly and she had missed his scent and him too.''Why didn't you visit for two days?" She demanded as she raised her head to look at him. Her head was still on his chest as she stared at him. He was looking at her too as she waited for an explanation."I had a lot to deal with, taking care of the throne is really hard now but I have enough time to take care of you today." He leaned in to kiss her nose and she closed her eyes waiting but he pulled back. "If you keep on holding me like this, I am sure that they are going to suspect our relationship and you won't be able to gain power by using Adrian."Luna's eyes opened, she knew that everyone thought that Ashford was her ex and best friend. She hesitated as she clutched
Ashford turned her around to stare at the sales lady. "We are taking both." He leaned in to whisper in Luna's ear. "Do you want another?"She shook her head. "I like these two better."Ashford pulled out a gold coin and set it down for the lady. "Here is the payment."The woman stared at him with astonishment in her eyes. "The gold can buy everything in my store, I don't have the change for it."Ashford scoffed. "Then you can have it, I have no silver with me."Luna had no idea what was used for payment, it was the first time she was out and buying something from the market. She remembered she had always told her father what he should get for her and he would get it. Now she had the chance to buy whatever she wanted."Come on, let's go." Ashford took her hand and began walking.They walked out of the market and Luna watched Ashford's back as he pulled her. It was then she noticed his dressing, he was dressed differently from them. Weren't people going to get suspicious since he was dr
She was the lady he liked, his mate and the future queen of the vampire kingdom. No one was going to take her away from him. A picture appeared in his head, a picture of Adrian holding onto Luna and asking her to be the Luna of the pack. He pushed the pic away from us head, Luna was only getting engaged to Adrian and an engagement could be broken.'An engagement could be broken.' Does that apply to him too?"You don't have to tell them if you are not comfortable with it but if you want. I will make the announcement. No one can hurt you."It would be better if she said nothing about her identity and let them keep guessing about it."Do you think so? And I haven't met your mother. When are you going to take me to her?" Luna inquired.Ashford forced a smile, "Very soon, we will get engaged soon."Luna stared at him blankly, what does he mean that they were getting engaged? She glanced at his hand on hers to see that he was holding her ring finger."What do you mean?" She was not feelin
She stared at him. “By picturing it in my head.”He took her right hand in his and placed it over the potato. He was right behind her. “When picturing the potatoes peeling, you have to make sure they peel in rhythm. Like this…” The potato that was holding peeled in her hand and her eyes widened in surprise. She raised the potato to her eyes anss stared at it. “It's so smooth.” “I know right.” Picking up another potato, he handed it to her. “Focus on peeling it in a rhythm and not just peeling it.”“Like this?” She stared at him.His gaze was focused on the potato and then it cut off into seven pieces. It's peel removing and the potato landed in the sink.“That's not I meant though.”She took another potato and tried again. It was still the same, she kept on trying and trying and Ashford knew he had to stop her. However before he could, she tried again and the potatoes were all peeled now. In the proper way of peeling them.“Yah! I did it.” She squealed in excitement as she turned
Ashford stopped drinking from the blood bag. “You can't classify her as a little pup.”Frowning, Bartram stared at him. “A werewolf child is called a pup. No matter what she is, as long as she is a werewolf's child, She is a pup.”His gaze falling, Ashford suppressed all the urge to argue.“Even if they don't accept me, I have to make them like me. I don't care about that; I know my mother tried to unite them but failed. I am not her, and I am not going to fail. Getting the vampires to accept me, not minding my werewolf blood, would be one step to take.”Both men nodded their heads in agreement."Why are you at it? Remember that you also have to get to the good side of the werewolf too. The vampires have no idea that your existence is a threat.”“I do.” Ashford corrected. “I just don't care about it; anyone who comes after her has to go through me.” He had spent the last month improving himself and becoming stronger.“That is only your point of view; your mother was the enemy of my lo
Nodding, he answered the question. “The vampbats are big bats; we can sit on their backs. There is a lot to don't know about vampires; not only did we have speed, The royals have wings.”“Wings.” Her eyes beamed in excitement. “Can I see yours?”“No!” Bartram yelled. “You never look that excited when I talk about werewolves.”Pouting, she stared at her father. “That's because you don't talk about them? How can I be Luna when I know nothing about the pack or werewolves? What side of my werewolf have I shown? I already have fangs.” Her fangs appeared, and she displayed them to him. “See.”Her father stared at her like she had just said something stupid. “You have claws; I think you missed that, and they came before the fangs.”Her claws appeared, and she returned them back inside. "Well, you are quite right.”“I wouldn't have missed those claws.” Ashford muttered. “You dug it into my arm when we first met, and it didn't heal as fast as my other injuries did.”“Sorry about that.” She sta
“We brought all of your engagement outfits and even bought a ring.” Phoebe announced, her thoughts far away from seeing Luna in Ashford's arm. “Do you want to try your dress with me?”Luna pulled her gaze away from Adrian; he was still glaring at her. “Could you let me go to Ashford?”Ashford released her with a large grin on his face. “Okay, I will let you go now.”Ashford released Luna, and as she walked over to Phoebe, she was still avoiding Adrian's gaze. After all, she wanted to punish him for picking up clothes without her.“Didn't I tell you to stay away from him?” Adrian demanded as he stepped closer to her; he was still glaring at her.Luna shrugged. “Well, who cares? That's what you get for asking me to only choose the color you want to wear."Teeth gritting in anger,Adrian stepped closer to her, but she was already pulling Phoebe and heading for the stairs."Let's go to my room; I will try out the outfits.” Luna told Phoebe as they headed up the stairs.The corners of Ashfo
Luna nodded. “She isn't like them; she is a hybrid.”At the mention of her being a hybrid, Ashford and Bartram's eyes rounded in shock.“She is also a werewolf vampire.” Bartram inquired.“She doesn't look like she has the blood of a vampire to me,” Ashford muttered.“She isn't like me. She is a mermaid and a werewolf.”Another wave of surprise washed through them.“You mean to tell me that mermaids are still in existence?” Ashford asked.Luna scowled at him. “If vampires and werewolves exist, why wouldn't mermaids?”“Because it is said that they died a long time ago,” Bartram replied.Alice nodded her head behind Luna. “My father was the last merman before he gave birth to me.”“Oh.”Luna was confused; all mermaids and mermaids were dead except her father, and now he birthed her to continue the reigns of mermaids.“Alice said her father was the last merman, and there were no others of their species. He mated with a werewolf and gave birth to her,” Luna explained.“That explains a lot
Luna smiled at the girl. “I'm Luna, from Lunar Crest. Nice to meet you.”“Are you the mate of the Alpha?” Alice asked.“Yes,” Luna answered, “but my name is Luna.”Alice smiled. “I thought it was the title I got from being that Luna of the pack.”“No, it isn't.”“I'm from Cruster Toon,” Alice muttered.“Siblings!” Luna uttered.“Yup!”They went quiet. Luna glanced at Phoebe and Millie. Phoebe winked at her before leaving the class.'Be a good girl, Luna,' Phoebe said, mind-linking her.'You say that to a little kid,’ Una snapped.Luna wondered if Phoebe heard that; apparently, she didn't.“I hope you enjoy the class,” Alice said.Luna smiled. That was the first female she was talking to who was from Cruster Toon. She nodded her head in reply, and soon the class began.“To control water, you have to embrace water like it was your second body,” Millie said, moving her hand, and the liquid followed the movements.Luna listened attentively as the class went on. Millie was a great teacher,
Luna returned his smile. “Good morning.”“Do you know Luna?” Phoebe chimed in as she shoved Trevor off and sat next to her. “Adrian told Alexa to take the other carriage.”“Ouch, that hurts!” Trevor grunted as he landed on his butt.Luna didn't look pleased. “Okay? Did she agree to that?” “She did it with gritted teeth,” Tristan replied. “She might go against you at school.”“She doesn't have any elements.” Trevor chimed in. “She can't stand a chance against Luna, who has all four elements.”Luna was stunned. “How come she has no elements?” “She doesn't have an element, but she does control water. I have no idea how that works; she didn't get anything after the test, but after using that water element. The teachers agreed for her to be in the water class.” Phoebe explained. “The teacher was convinced that it was a mistake that she got the water element, but we were not convinced,” Trevor stated.“Who are we?” Luna questioned. “The three of us,” Phoebe answered. “I have no idea if
The next morning, the sound of the birds could be heard as Luna opened her eyes. There was a warm sensation next to her, and she realized that it was Ashford. Raising her head, she sat up; he had his hair down and his eyes closed. She blushed; he was handsome when he slept.She brushed the strands of his hair off his forehead and leaned in to kiss it. A smile crept up her lips, and she kissed his forehead again. She wanted to do something to him before he woke up. She got out of bed and walked to her dressing mirror. She picked up a lipstick and walked back to him.Moments later, after she had her bath, she walked towards the dining room where her father was setting. “Good morning, Father.” Bartram turned around to look at her. “Morning, Wildcat. Trust your night was good.”“It sure was; I had no idea I fell asleep like that.” She pulled out a chair and flopped her butt on it before grabbing an apple on the table.“You slept like a log; was the training draining?” Bartram asked.
“I think it is unsafe for her.’’ Ashford voiced out. “She is a hybrid, and you want her to stay in the packhouse filled with werewolves.”“What's that supposed to mean? Adrian demanded. “She is my mate and is still going to live in the packhouse sooner or later.”Ashford's brow arched. “You are delusional. “Not only do you not care about her, you also think highly of yourself.”Adrian's fist tightened.“Are you already thinking about a future with a mate who almost rejected you? You are really delusional.” Ashford murmured, his gaze piercing into Adrian.He had read Adrian's mind, although he wanted to stop the mind-reading. He couldn't; it was easier for him to beat Adrian in an argument that way.“Why wouldn't I think of a future with my mate?” Adrian questioned. Ashford never thought that he was going to admit it. He could see that Adrian was controlling himself to not snap.“You shouldn't do that now.” Ashford pressed. “She feels unsafe with you, and you want her to leave next to
“I never expected him to pack this much,” Luna said as Ashford set out for a picnic in the woods.The picnic was in a garden that she had no idea was next to the pack. However, she wondered how the garden got there.“I created the garden,” Ashford informed her. “I didn't get to show you before, but this is the place where I come whenever my mother makes me mad.”“You don't come here anymore?” She peered at him.“Yes.”“Why?”He sat down on the mat that was on the floor, and she did the same.“I found you, so I came to your house instead of this garden.”Luna blushed. “So that means that you care about me more than your garden?”“Isn't that what it sounds like?” Her face flushed harder, and she looked away from him. “What fruit do you have?” He asked. “Maybe an orange.” She replied without looking at him.He picked up an orange and began peeling it for her. She peeked at him before finally looking at him. He handed the orange to her as soon as he was done peeling it.“I was wonderin
Bartram hesitated, but he knew that he had to because Luna was going to stay mad at him.“You can't meet them because they don't want you."Luna's eyes widened, and she felt her heart crumble into many pieces. She wasn't expecting that; they didn't want her.Tears welled up in her eyes, and every thought she had about meeting them crumbled. What was she expecting? She wasn't always wanted in the first place.“Why do they not want me?” Her lips quivered as she inquired.Bartarm took her hand. “They blamed you for destroying their daughter if she hadn't given birth to you as they had instructed her. She would have been the queen and wouldn't be hated.”Her face went pale as the words hit her; she couldn't understand what logic her grandparents had. If they wanted her mother, why was she different?He paused, his eyes meeting Ashford's. “I hope you don't make her find them because I am sure that they would ruin your plan of making Luna feel loved there. Also, I am sure that they would al
“You still haven't forgotten about Assy,” Bartram said, his eyes shimmering with hurt.“Are you going to tell me that he is only my imagination? My imaginary friend?” Luna asked. “You can say it.”Bartram shook his head. “I wasn't going to say anything; he was your friend, but he hadn't shown up for years. It's been years, and I haven't even met him.”Luna sighed. “Maybe he left; he might be back.”“I know that you still want Assy to come back!”“He was my first friend!”"Now that you have another friend and, as well, a lover, why do you keep thinking about him? It's not like you know him or what species he is anyway.”Luna's gaze fell. “He is my friend, and I am not going to forget him. I might not know what he is, but he made me happy back then. He never cared about who I was, and the little I knew about magic, he taught me.”“He might not be here anymore to teach me, but to be honest, I miss him a lot.” She admitted.Bartram rubbed his face. “I can't believe I am asking you this, b
“Here. Drink this.” Bartram handed a bowl of medicine to her.She glanced at her father. “Is it bitter?"He shook his head. “Quite the opposite.”She raised the bowl to her lips and gulped down everything in it while her father took his seat in front of her. Ashford was sitting next to her and bringing a blood bag.“You said you had met Monsell here?” Bartram asked.Luna shook her head before lowering the bowl to the table. “Uh-huh.”“And you said he was Adrian's cousin?"“Yes.”Bartram frowned at her. “Why didn't you tell me that they looked alike? Also, why didn't Adrian or anyone else recognize him as Monsell?”“Adrian doesn't know what Monsell looks like,” Ashford replied. “When he went to the pack, he took the shape of Luna. No one knew what he looked like, including Phoebe.”Bartram's frown tightened. “I haven't met this guy, so I didn't have an idea about him. He is not usually in the pack because he belongs to another pack. His mother got married to an alpha of Faira Noon's pa
