I take a quick shower and I start getting ready for the ball. I dry myself up and I put on my underwear. After I am done with that, I start thinking of hairstyles to do. I got my mother’s hair colour and my hair is wavy like hers is. I decide to straighten my hair and let it flow down my back. I start straightening my hair section by section and in ten minutes, I am done with my hair. Then I move to makeup. I hardly wear makeup but my mum taught me how to put it on myself. I go for a more natural look and I am finished with my makeup in like thirty minutes.
Once I am done with my hair and makeup, I check my phone to see how much time I have left. I have forty five minutes left before the ball starts. All that is left is for me to wear my dress and shoes. My dress is an off-shoulder number with a heart shaped neckline. It is floor length and has a slit all the way to my hip. The skirt is full and covers the slit in a way. The dress is dark gre
“Okay so what is the problem with that beautiful man?” I ask Harlan and Cyrus, slightly pissed off, “Luna, you know how there are Kitsunes and there are dark Kitsunes, the Nogitsunes, right? Well Theo is a Nogitsune. He is a dark fox, a trickster fox. If he showed interest in you, the child of the prophecy, then he probably has something planned,” Cyrus tells me.“He can also use his trickster powers to replicate the soulmate bond,” Harlan finishes for Cyrus. I try to not explode at them. “The both of you do know that I am not an actual child, right? I was just having fun dancing with a handsome stranger who I know is definitely not my mate.” I tell them.“Harlan, the witch told us I would find my mate after we had been to all kingdoms, if you notice, we still have one kingdom left, the Vampires. Even if Theo manages to duplicate the bond that mates share, I would know it wa
“What in the actual fuck is going on here?” Harlan yells at them, Austin and Cyrus pull apart. “Harlan, wait, let me explain,” Austin says. “Go on, I am listening,” Harlan sneers at them. “Tonight, at the ball while you were watching Luna, Cyrus and I started getting to know each other,” he starts.“I discovered that we actually do have a lot in common. Remember when you asked me last night if I were okay with having a third mate and I said yes because the moon goddess saw fit to bless us with another mate. Before the ball ended, we left and came here to talk more, and then one thing led to another and we started kissing,” Austin finishes.I look at Harlan, his face is full of anger. Cyrus, who has been quiet turns to Harlan, “I am sorry that you found out like this, but I am not sorry that it happened. I wanted two of you as soon as I saw you, I had a feeling we
I look at him and he shakes his head. “I do not want them to know, they will worry and I do not want that,” he tells me through our mind link while he joins me by our father’s side. “Alright, then I will not say anything to them,” I tell him. We talk about our plan with our parents, we decide that we would need to inform Lady Kira that there is someone trying to manipulate the prophecy.Once we are done with the meeting with our parents, we leave their room and went down to eat breakfast, when we get to the dining room, we see Austin there finishing up his breakfast. He freezes when he sees Harlan and starts to say something but Harlan turns away from him.Austin leaves the dining room soon after and Cyrus walks in. He sees Harlan and looks at me, I shake my head and he grabs some eggs and starts frying them, once he is done with frying the eggs, he puts three slices of bread into the toaster and s
Harlan’s POVAfter our talk, the tension was gone. Cyrus, Austin, and I spent the day together in my room. I was getting to know Cyrus and he was getting to know me. There were sometimes when they kissed in front of me, it was awkward but it did not bother me anymore, Luna had been right.When it was almost seven, I told them about what had happened at the ball. “He wants to meet her in the garden at seven, which is exactly a day since they met. Luna and I are sure that he is going to try and fake the mate bond. With Luna’s acting yesterday, he thinks that she is shallow and easy to manipulate,” I tell them.“She will pretend that she believes that he is her mate and he will tell Luna not to tell Lady Kira that they are mates. This is because he already has a mate, she saw him dancing with his mate who he claims to be his best friend. My mother and father have spoken to Lady Kira and informe
“Do not worry my sweet princess, I will show you what the world has to offer, do you want that?” Theo asks her. Luna cringes inwardly in disgust at how thick he was laying it. “He really wants me to be wrapped around his finger, it is hard not to laugh,” she tells me. To Theo she says, “I would love that Theo, but I think we will need to be married first.”Luna and I both see the worry flash across his face, he quickly fixes his expression, “Of course, my Lady Luna, we will get married but we need to get to know each other first. We may be mates but I would like to do the whole dating and then engagement and finally the wedding process,” he tells her trying to shift the subject.Luna beams, he smiles, thinking she bought his diversion and that she is happy that he is putting in effort. “It is getting late my sweet princess, I should be heading back home, I will see you again
When the song ended, I escorted her out and explained the plan to her, she understood what I had to do. I made my way back to Luna and whispered in her ear. I saw her shiver and I smirked, I was already affecting her. We danced again and I spent the rest of the night with her.When the ball was over, I walked her back to her brother. He smiled at me and introduced himself. I introduced myself and said my good byes, I was going to see her the next day. After I left the ball, I headed to Hayden’s house to spend the night with her. She was a gem, she understood the nature of creatures like me.She never tried to change me and she wants to help me take over the throne. I got to her house and knocked. She opened the door and let me in. I started kissing her and then I carried her to her bedroom, we spent the night having sex. The next morning, she asked me how the Lady Luna was.I told her she was sh
Luna’s PovAfter I leave Harlan to deal with the situation in his room, I head back to my room to get ready for bed. tonight, was really crazy, Theo was trying so hard to make me fall for him, and thanks to my amazing acting skills, he believed I was. I was trying so hard not to cringe or laugh. Harlan could sense my discomfort and the remarks he kept making were not helping matters. Well, he now has to sleep in the same bed with Cyrus, and Austin. I actually wanted to discuss what happened tonight with them but we took too long.I will tell them tomorrow morning when they wake up. Theo is actually very handsome. If not for the fact that he has a mate, I would not be opposed to having sex with him for the purpose of the mission. He already thinks he was my first kiss. If I mention this to Harlan, he would kill Theo himself. He is okay with me having sex but he does not want me fraternizing with the enemy.I g
I get up from my bed and head to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the day. I have lunch with Theo by two in the afternoon. I want to have a plan ready by then. I take a shower and brush my teeth. When I am done, I pick out what to wear and dress up, I do not put on makeup because I will do that when I am getting ready for the date.When I am dressed, I head to the kitchen to get something to eat. By the time I arrive at the kitchen, Austin, Cyrus, and Harlan are already there and Cyrus was making breakfast for them. They were laughing and poking each other. I guess last night went well then. I step into the kitchen and Austin is the first to notice me.“Luna, hey, how was last night? We tried to stay awake but you guys were taking too long, I am so sorry,” he tells me. I smile at him and shake my head, “It is okay Austin, you guys were tired, I understand,” I tell him. He hugs me and turns
