He looks at me and starts pacing around the room, I can see he is thinking about the pros and cons and asking himself if this plan is worth risking my life. He finally tops pacing and faces me, “I am on board with your plan, but if I even sense you are in danger, I am pulling the plug on this whole thing. We can also organise sparring lessons so we can spend time together without him being suspicious,” he says to me. I walk over to hug him and kiss him, “Thank you Blake for trusting me, King Garett, you can inform Queen Helena and Xavier about the plan so they can know their part. We will make the announcement when though?” I ask them.“I want us to get this over with as soon as possible, we can throw a dinner party and invite all the nobles. They are known for being gossips and they will spread the word quickly. The party will hold tomorrow, it will be easier to plan since it is for the nobility only. My mother will s
Blake’s P.O.VIt felt like my world had stopped spinning. As soon as I saw Luna fly into that table and black out, my heart just stopped beating. I knew in my mind she would heal soon and would be fine, but my heart was a different case entirely. I ran straight to where she was laying down, unconscious.“Xavier, what did you do? She is not beathing,” I scream at him as he is kneeling by side, trying to wake her up. “I did not mean to, I tripped,” Xavier says as he keeps trying to wake her up. “Leave her alone and go get mother and father,” I yell at him. He hands her over to me and heads to the dining room to get my parents. I carry Luna back to her room and I lay her down on her bed. I know she will wake up soon and she will be fine, but I cannot stop myself from pacing around her room till my parents show up. Luna’s bedroom door opens and my parents followed by Xavier, walk in, “Has she woken up yet?” asks my mother.“No. I thought the stupid mark would keep her safe from harm,” I
Luna’s P.O.V“Even though I am engaged to someone else, just know that no matter what he tells me, I will still love you,” I continue and kiss him. “So, what do you want us to do today?” he asks me. I think about it, then I say, “I want us to read a book and watch the adaptation of the book. I was thinking about the Bridgerton books, I want us to read the first book and the watch season one of the series. Is that okay?”He thinks about it first but I already know he will say yes. “What is it about?” he asks me, “It is a regency period piece with drama and romance. There are eight siblings who are named alphabetically, Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth who their mother, Lady Violet who plans to marry off all her children and secure their future,” I tell him.“So, it sounds scandalous. I want to watch it. Which
We get to the dining room, and Xavier is at the door waiting for us, “What took you guys so long?” he asks. I smile, “I don’t think you want to know Xavier,” Blake tells him with a smirk. He shakes his head and says, “You guys have to be more careful with your relationship. Luna, you are walking in with me tonight, Blake, please try not to glare at me or look jealous when any of the other noblemen flirt with her.”I laugh at Blake’s sour face when Xavier mentions other people flirting with me. “Blake, you are going to be seated beside me also, just try not to make it obvious that you love me,” I tell him. He mumbles, “No promises,” under his breath as he stands in front of us. Xavier takes my arm in his and we get ready to walk in.The guard stationed at the door, opens it for us to walk through. When Blake walks in, everyone goes quiet and they stand up to
We open the door and walk in. I head to his bathroom and I tell Blake over my shoulder, “Baby, please I need your help to unzip my dress,” I hear him coming over my shoulder, then I feel his hands on my shoulder before he unzips my dress. “Thank you,” I tell him as my dress pools around my feet.He leaves the bathroom and walks to his closet to change. I take out of the wipes in his bathroom and I use it to clean my face. I leave the bathroom and head to my room, I walk to my vanity. I take off my earrings, my tiara and my necklace and then I use my face cream. When I am done with that, I take off my bra and I walk back to Blake’s room.When I get back to his room, Blake is already lying down on the bed. He watches me as I strut to his closet. I can feel how much he wants to kiss me right now but I do not look at him. I enter his closet and head to the hoodie section. I pick a light b
As I was walking, I decided to make a playlist on my phone for me to listen to while I walk. I was not looking where I was going because next thing I know, I am on the ground. “I am so sorry. Are you okay?” someone asks me. I look up to see a guy holding out his hand for me to take.“No, it is fine. It was my fault, I was looking at my phone,” I say as I grab his hand so I can get up. “No, I was in a hurry and if I had looked where I was going, I would not have hit you,” he replied. As soon as I grab his hand, I feel a current of electricity run through my body.“Mate,” I say in shock. Blake, I think I have found him. the bond is very strong and seems very real. I send my thoughts to Blake, but I am confused and so is my wolf. The bond is strong enough to confuse my wolf and make us think he is our actual mate, instead of Blake. Speaking of Blake, Blake did you hear me? I just ran
I wake up the next morning, more hopeful about my future than I was when I went to bed. I get up from bed and check my phone for the time. It was eight o’clock in the morning. I went to my bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the day. I did not know what time Alaric would come over, I just wanted to be ready and prepared.I washed my hair, scrubbed my body, and brushed my teeth before I left the bathroom. I walked to my vanity in my towel and applied my moisturiser and vitamin c serum. After that, I put on deodorant and walked inside my closet. I decided to put on a dress today. I decided on an off shoulder, floral print dress with little ruffles.It was blue mostly with different coloured flower designs. I wanted to wear sandals with the dress, so I picked out a pair of white sandals that had lacy designs shaped like a butterfly. They were really pretty and they went well with my dress. I put on some u
“Luna, the time is thirty minutes after twelve,” he replies. “Oh. I did not know. Then you are right on time then. I hope you did not struggle to much when you got to the palace doors,” I ask with a nervous laugh. “No, they were very nice. Once I told them that I was here to see you, they let me in and then directed me to the guard who brought me here,” he replies.“So, if you do not mind me asking, what were you doing before I came?” he asks me. “It’s alright. I was reading a book,” I reply. I try my best to hide the notepad that I was writing in before he came. I am able to sneak it in my purse while acting like I was looking for something.“What book were you reading,” he asks me. Luna, I am here. I need you to think about the words he is saying so I can hear them. You also feel very nervous, try to relax. You are safe, Blake tells me. I smil
I was happy for this time I had, I used it to have another meeting with my family members, the idea was to find a solution to the vampires problem, I met and urge with those who I could to assist while sending a message to others to help before there is a shortage. The feed back was more than pleasant, we had more and more volunteers and all their blood work came out clean, before long the vampires had their kingdom in check, everyone who was poisoned with the bad batch were in no time cleared, Alaric on the other hand barely called and seemed to be very busy, I knew he was recovering and possibly scheming, but I was happy provided it was all rhetorical and whatever plan he might make possible was all faulted by us. Alaric came back after three days visiting his “mother”He drove into the compound and got out of his vehicle I rushed to him and hugged him tightly “Babeeeee! I have so missed you sooo much” I said as I pecked him He smiled sweetly at me“So how is your mum now?” I a
I woke up to the sound of Alaric voice, he was singing out loud and cheerfully as if he had won the lottery, I knew he believed he was winning in this silent battle he was having with me and my family but I knew he was in for a rude awakening I also perceived the nice aroma of breakfast, what ever he was cooking was definitely going to be very delicious He was cooking for me again I noticedHe really can be romantic but I smiled as I knew it was all a ruse, this was all a front to deceive and manipulate me but I was willing to allow him take advantage of me if this is his method of doing it. Alaric feels he is playing me whist it is the other way around, I want him as distracted as possible so he would not know how time flies. I could already smell from my room that he was cooking and that it was going to be delicious. There was a time I was worried about his food, worried that he might poison me or try to control meI was not really concerned about the control or him taking my
I knew past day I have given all my time to Blake because of how much I missed him, i know before Alaric comes for me I need to have a private meeting with all my family members, I knew this could possibly be our last moment together before the inevitable happens so I need to be sure everyone was on the same page. I made a mental connection to everyone I could, that we should meet in the dining room alone to go over our plan. I remove what I wore to bed and walk to the bathroom. I stand at the sink and brush my teeth. When I am done, I step into the shower and turn on the tap. I wash my hair and when I am done with washing my hair, I start washing my body. I finish with my shower and dry my body with my towel. When I finish, I wrap the towel around my hair so it can dry. I leave the bathroom and walk to the vanity. When I get there, I plug in my hair dryer and start blow drying my hair. Once I am done with drying my hair, I put on hairspray and I style my hair. I brush my hair until
As we stood there, disoriented and shaken, a distant sound caught our attention. The rumble of an approaching vehicle grew louder, filling us with a glimmer of hope.Within moments, headlights illuminated the darkened road, revealing the figure of a passerby. A kind stranger had stumbled upon our wreckage, offering a helping hand in our time of need.As the headlights grew brighter, casting a glow upon the wreckage, a wave of relief washed over us. The stranger approached with cautious steps; his concern evident in his eyes. It was Blake."Blake?" I murmured in disbelief, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't believe the twist of fate that had brought him to our side in this moment of desperation.He nodded, a mixture of surprise and concern crossing his face. "Luna, Alaric, what happened? Are you both alright?"Alaric, still recovering from the impact, managed a weak nod. "We were in an accident. The car crashed, and we need help."Blake immediately sprang into action, his quic
So, I had stayed inside, curled up in my blankets, trying desperately to distract myself with a book. However, it proved to be useless, and I ended up spending most of the afternoon watching TV in silence, occasionally sipping an occasional cup of coffee when I was bored.It had started raining halfway through my fourth cup of coffee, and the raindrops were falling onto the windowsill as I sat huddled underneath my covers, my knees pulled up to my chest and my arms wrapped tightly around my legs. A few minutes later, the front door swung open, and a mixture of anticipation and apprehension filled the air. My heart skipped a beat as I sat up, hoping it was him, hoping for a chance to reconnect. But as I heard the loud clattering noise, my hope turned to confusion, and I couldn't help but follow the sound."Dad!"The word escaped my lips before I could stop it, a combination of surprise and uncertainty. There he was, my father, walking further into the house, his presence stirring up a
They sat there for a moment. The only sounds in the room were their quiet breaths. Their footsteps echoing softly throughout the empty restroom. The ticking of the grandfather clock somewhere far away in the distance. They listened to its rhythm until Luna pulled back, resting her head on his shoulder again. Alaric looked down, catching sight of the bracelet she wore around her wrist. A simple silver band with tiny white flowers embroidered onto it. It reminded him of the sunflower bracelet his grandmother had given him when he was younger. He smiled faintly at the memory, running his thumb across the band. "It's funny. Before Mom died, she bought me this bracelet, too," Alaric murmured, his fingers tracing the delicate patterns on the bracelet lightly. "The sunflower represents hope…" he mumbled. Luna lifted her head, her eyebrows knitted together as she looked at him in confusion."Hope?" she questioned. Alaric shook his head slightly, smiling weakly. "Yeah." He paused, trying to f
She'd grown up without parents or a loving family, and though she'd managed to make some friends here in The City, she was far too lonely for her own good. He had never known any other woman who felt the way he did when he first laid eyes on her, and if this was their only chance at happiness together, then Alaric would not pass it by without making it count. He knew she liked men - he'd caught her eyeing up a few of them on occasion - and he hoped that once they got past the awkward stage of 'letting their feelings show', this could be a relationship where he wouldn't have to worry about disappointing her. There were so many things about Luna that made Alaric's chest feel tight and warm inside. Her smile, the sound of her voice, even the way she smelled. It all left him feeling so… so… "And besides," said Luna, smiling back at him with an impish look in her eyes. "Who wants a boyfriend who makes their job a nightmare?"They both chuckled, but neither could resist looking down at th
I couldn't contain my excitement as I reunited with my family, feeling the warmth and love radiating in the air. We gathered in the cozy living room, enveloped in laughter and joy. Embracing my parents tightly, I soaked in the comforting familiarity of their presence. It had been far too long since we were all together.Seated on plush sofas, we began sharing stories, eagerly catching up on the events that had unfolded during our time apart. My father animatedly recounted his latest adventures in his workshop, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm."You should have seen the intricate clock I crafted," he said, a gleam of pride in his voice. "Every cog and gear working in perfect harmony. It's a testament to the beauty of precision."My mother chimed in; her voice filled with admiration. "And your garden, dear. It has flourished under your loving care. The roses have bloomed like never before."As the conversation continued, I listened intently, cherishing every word as it painted a vivid
I woke up the next morning to my alarm screaming at me. It was so loud that I thought my eardrums were going to explode at the very next second, grumbling against my pillow.I contemplated on ignoring it or just going back to sleep after attending to it I finally chose an option that I did not thought of before I checked the time and it was six o’clock. A little bit of relief came to a sigh on my lips. I thought that I had overslept for a moment considering all the time I had procrastinated before coming to check the clock and so I stretched my hand and I turned off the alarm and sat up from bed. It was so early and my stomach was already growling, I couldn't imagine how hungry I was and so I needed to get ready for breakfast…I was craving something easy like cereal because I was already starving a lot.&nb
