After Blake and I finish talking to Xavier, we walk into my room and lock the door. “Today was eye opening. Are you okay with what I told you about the next stage of my plan?” I ask Blake once again to make sure he is okay. “Yeah, I am okay with it. I trust you Luna. Though your plans just keep driving us apart. I am going to have to rectify that,” he replies.
I laugh at him and say, “I am sorry you think that baby. I am not trying to drive us apart, I am trying to end this quickly. We know he wants to fuck me, so if I move in with him, he will expect that. I will tell him that I am waiting till we do the mating ceremony and get married. When he hears that he will want to propose as soon as possible. Him proposing gives him the two things he wants. He wants to kill me right after our marriage so he can be the sole ruler and he can also have sex with me. None of those things will happen. Now how do you plan on making su
He is wearing a pair of grey shorts and a grey hoodie. “Hey, so what are doing tonight?” he asks me. “So, I know we only watched season one of Bridgerton, but I have read five of the book series, I stopped at Eloise’s book. I was planning on starting Francesca’s book tomorrow morning. We can watch season two of the series together, I have not watched it yet,” I tell him. “Yeah, we can watch that. Set it up on your phone,” he replies. I open Netflix on my phone and click on Bridgerton. I press play and season two episode one starts playing.We are introduced to Kate Sharma, she was born India and she is very beautiful. I loved Kate in the books, hopefully I will love her in the series. By the time it was two in the morning, we had only watched four episodes and were about to start episode five. What a roller coaster this season has been so far. Anthony decides to get married but he does not want
“She is most likely in love with him. You might meet her sooner or later. Make sure to get on her good side and do not let it slip that you know what Alaric is or what she is,” Blake tells me. I nod and we end the conversation and focus back on the people around us. “Blake, Luna, are you guys ready to go?” Xavier asks us. “Yes, we are done with our food,” Blake replies. I look at them confused, “Where if I may ask are we going to?” I ask. They look at each other with matching grins on their faces. I turn to King Garett and Queen Helena and ask them, “Your majesties, please can you tell me what has your sons ginning like a cat who stole the cream?” Queen Helena and King Garett look at each other before King Garett turns to look at me.He responds by saying, “A circus has just arrived in the city and Blake asked for permission for the three of you, plus Blair, to go see their sho
Blake walks in wearing black shorts and a tank top. He joins me in bed and gives me a kiss. “Are you ready?” he asks me, referring to Bridgerton. I nod and press play on my phone. Episode five starts playing and I move closer to Blake. He puts his arm around me and I put my head on his chest. He took the phone from me and held it instead. Anthony proposed to Edwina in the previous episode and broke Kate’s heart. Now he is trying to ignore his feelings for Kate and focus on planning his wedding with her sister. Lady Danbury, after noticing Kate’s feelings for the Viscount, gives her some advice. After the news of Anthony and Edwina’s engagement got out, Edwina’s grandparents came to visit and they wanted to meet Anthony. Kate was worried that the truth about why she wanted Edwina to marry a noble man would come out.She was right. Edwina’s grandparents, Lord and Lady Sheffield, were one of the worst se
Anthony and Kate ended up getting married. Eloise discovered Penelope was Lady Whitsledown and they had a big fight. Penelope also overheard Colin, who she was in love with, say to his friends that he would never dream of courting her in a million years. Season two ended with plenty unresolved drama and I cannot wait for season three. Blake and I finished our food and set aside the tray. When we were done, I turned to him and asked, “Do you want to start Vampire diaries now?” “Yeah, let us watch it,” he replies. “We are going to use your phone to watch it though,” I tell him.He checks for where he can stream it since it is not on Netflix. When he finally finds it, he cues up episode one of season one and he presses play. We settle in to watch it and we talk about it between ourselves. Blake likes Damon at first glance and I smile inwardly. We are able to watch half of season one at a go before I have to ge
Friday, the day of my date with Alaric had finally come. I wake up by seven o’clock in the morning and I have a mini headache. I think it is from the wine. I hope it goes after I eat breakfast. I stand up from bed and I shake Blake awake. “Blake, wake up. it is almost time for breakfast. Let us get ready,” I tell him. “Good morning, Princess. It’s Friday,” he tells me, as he wakes up fully. Then he freezes and looks at me, “It is Friday, today is your date with the enemy,” he says again. I smile weakly at him and reply, “Yes, it is. We are going to continue watching season one of vampire diaries and maybe start season two. I will start getting ready for the date by five o’clock. For now, let us get ready for breakfast.” He nods and gets up from bed. He walks over to me though and then he kisses me firmly. “I will come and get you for breakfast,” he says, before walking to the connecting door
“Alright, but who will I compel?” Blake asks. I think about it, then I reply, “You will compel Xavier. it might not work on me because of we have the same powers and all. So, there are better chances for it to work if you try it with your brother. Tell him to stand up and transform to a bat for a minute and then transform back.” “Alright, Xavier are you okay with this?” Blake asks his brother. “Yeah, let us get this over with and know for sure,” Xavier replies. They both stand up from their seats and Blake walks over to where Xavier is standing. He looks straight into his brother’s eyes and says, “I want you to transform into your bat and stay like that for a minute before you transform back.” at first nothing happens and then Xavier screams in pain and starts changing into a bat. We all stare at him, and the I look at Blake’s surprised face. I could tell that he did not really believe it was going
I push Blake away and I tell him, “Why the hell would you do that? I told you I was going on a date with Alaric. You knew what you were doing, you did this on purpose. I do not want to see or talk to you right now.” I push past him and he tries to stop me with a weak, “Luna, I am sorry,” I ignore him and continue towards Alaric who is still at the end of the stairs. I can see the anger in his eyes, he is livid and visibly shaking. “I cannot believe I actually thought we were friends. All this time, you were just trying to get Luna for yourself. I cannot believe that you thought kissing her in front of me was going to get me to leave,” Alaric says to Blake from where he is still standing. When I reach him, I throw my arms around him and I tell him that I did not kiss Blake back and he does not need to worry. I glance back and I see Blake looking heart broken as Alaric wraps his arms around me to comfort me. Serves him right, for almos
“I knew it would work. You were right Luna, now we can move to the next phase,” Blake says after we kiss. “You played your part well Blake, you really did,” I respond. “Of course, and so did you. You actually seemed like you did not love me,” Blake replied, “If I did not know it was a plan, I would have been sad,” he continues. I take a step closer to him, “I love you, do not worry. I am just very good at acting. As long as you can feel my emotions, you will always know what I feel for you, Blake,” I tell him. He kisses me again and after we pull apart, I continue packing my things. “So, what do you think is going to happen on my first night living with him? Do you think he is going to try to make a move on me?” I ask Blake. Blake laughs and says, “Of course. What do you expect?” I nod and reply, “That is what I was afraid of.” Blake helps me to pack my two boxes and when we
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
