The Forsaken Luna Chapter Eight
“What the hell is wrong with him now?” Gunnar whispers to Niklas, slumped over against the wall of their guest quarters, and points to Kai in a similar position on the opposite wall.“What do you mean? He looks fine,” Niklas says and waves him off.“Fine my ass, the guy looks like he might break down any second, that’s not right.”Niklas sighs and looks toward Kai, frowning when he too sees how miserable he looks huddled against the wall.“What was the last thing he did before coming here?” he asks but Gunnar shrugs.“He left before the ceremony even finished, I’m not sure where he went after that, but I’m pretty sure he left the building at the very least.”Niklas rolls his eyes. “Great investigating skills. You were supposed to be keeping tabs on him, I told you he had been acting weird ever since we got here.”“Why am I on babysitting duty? I already have enough of that with Harbin back home.”Niklas shoves him away and gets up to walk over to Kai, crouching down to wave a hand in

Serenia’s last hour in her childhood house goes by in a blur. After the tense conversation with Kai and her father, she waits as Kai lets his awaiting members through the front door with one she recognizes as Kai introducing as the newly appointed Beta of the Wolfmane Tribe, Niklas, asking her where her stuff is. In a daze, she leads him toward the back of the house and to the basement door to her bedroom. She doesn’t pay attention to him the entire way down, only turning to see his enraged reaction once she enters her room. “Is everything all right?” she asks quietly. She is afraid to even move looking at his face. “No, everything is not all right. Is this how you’ve been living? For how long?” he asks, rather loudly compared to her mouse-like tone, his voice echoing off the concrete walls. Neutral disregard is the most she was expecting from this stranger, she doesn’t know how to react to his surprising surge of anger as he continues to look aroun

Serenia leads Kai to the edge of the forest behind the Alpha house, feeling most comfortable out here among the quiet stillness of the trees and the light push of the wind through her hair. “I apologize again for my behavior earlier. Had I known what you and your mother have been going through, I would have been more mindful of how irrationally I’ve been acting,” Kai says in a rushed voice. She stops and looks back at him with a curious and confused look. “How do you know of what my mother and I have gone through? Have you visited the Omega house recently?” she presses him. Kai holds up his hands and shakes his head. “I haven’t gone there since arriving here, I swear.” She gives him another curious glare but drops it anyway. “It’s no rumour in your tribe it seems, the way you and your mother are treated in that house. It is completely unheard of, but not illegal, for a high-ranking house to have more than one wife, let alone three. All me and my warriors did was ask around about

“All right, so slight change of plans,” Kai addresses their small group gathered on the forest edge. “Serenia is unable to travel in beast form, which means we won’t be able to take the same way that we took to come here.” “Going on foot will add at least a whole other day to our trip. Alpha Erik and the others are going to wonder if we’ve been delayed,” Gunnar calls out. “That’s why you’re going to go ahead and inform my father, Niklas and I will stay back and guard Serenia during the trip. Don’t worry, we’ve both made the journey enough times we know our way around. We shouldn’t be delayed by more than a day.” Kai can both see and feel the ashamed and nervous energy from Serenia, he can only imagine how guilty she feels for hindering the journey, though none of them find her at fault, telling her that will make no difference, he already knows. Therefore, he doesn’t want to make her feel any worse by voicing how much longer it will take.

Never has Serenia felt such an exhilarating sense of freedom as she has while riding on the back of Niklas’ massive wolf, rushing through the forest like they are being carried by the wind, floating at amazing speed. She never wants this feeling to end, she never wants to stop feeling so free. Is this what it’s like? Though I’m not on the ground, I can almost feel the pounding of the Earth beneath my feet, the rush of adrenaline as I’m launched forward with a powerful gust. I can go anywhere and everywhere my heart desires. This is what she has been missing out on while everyone else has been enjoying their freedom to shift and run wild like their kind are meant to do. She isn’t meant to be cooped up in this small and frail body, with limited abilities. She can barely see the trees as they blur by, the smells drifting by too fast for her to catch, she is completely blind to where she is and where she is going. If anything, she is mor

By the time night falls Kai has successfully gotten a fire going and captured a couple of small hares to cook for the night, letting Niklas and Gunnar run wild and catch their own dinner, a great excuse to leave him and Serenia alone for a little bit. Sitting by the fire and eating their shares of meat sticks, Kai is expecting Serenia to ask questions about what to expect when they finally reach Wolfmane territory to get an idea of what she is about to walk into. Instead, she sits and listens intently to the rather noisy forest scene, the birds never ceasing their chirping and in turn, bothering the bullfrogs commuting to the stream. She reminds him of a wide-eyed doe sitting in the middle of a meadow, opening her eyes and ears for the first time and experiencing the natural sounds of life. Kai thinks back to the few times he had entered the forest territory of the Raseri Tribe and doesn’t remember hearing many sounds if any sounds of birds or insects.

I apologize if the order of my chapters was messed up and there says there is a repeat of the 9th chapter. It is NOT a repeat, that is chapter 10 but I mislabeled them when trying to upload multiple chapters at once. It should be fixed soon! :) ************ Oh gods, what do I do? What do I do? Niklas is injured and getting worse and there’s no way someone like me can stop whatever is happening with Kai. I’m useless. Useless is all Serenia has ever felt unless it’s washing dishes in record time or hunting quality meat. Never has she felt utterly useless as she does now. Her entire body is frozen to the ground doing nothing more than staring at the growing pool of blood beneath Niklas who doesn’t even have the energy to shift anymore. “What am I supposed to do?” she whispers to Niklas, hearing the defeat in her own voice. “He’s going to…kill them…he can’t…” Niklas manages to gasp out. “What? Why can’t he kill them?” That sound

“Is-Is that a human?” Serenia asks, cowering a little behind the crouched-over Niklas. “Why would you think that?” he asks. Serenia shrugs, feeling a little embarrassed now. “I don’t know, who else would attack us with silver-tipped arrows? We aren’t in rogue territory, are we?” “Everywhere that isn’t claimed by a tribe or pack is considered rogue territory, they roam wherever they please, but even they can’t get their hands on silver like that. Only tribes as big as ours could possibly have the need for something as lethal as silver,” Niklas says, glaring at the struggling body between Gunnar’s teeth. “I guess it’s time we found out,” she mutters. “Can you stand? I don’t think I can handle getting this guy to talk.” Niklas nods and tries his best to get on his feet but stumbles back to the ground. He groans and glares once more at the attacker before his eyes go wide. “Wait, stop him! He has so

The Forsaken Luna SAD NEWS!
Hey everyone, this update is to bring some sad news. I will no longer be updating this story here as I feel as an author it is too expensive for the readers. I like making my chapters at least 3k words because I pack a lot into one chapter and I am unable to do that with a word limit of 1500-2k (to keep my chapters affordable I need to keep them between that word count). This story is dragging on because I'm trying to figure out how to keep it at a good pace while also keeping the chapters short and sweet. I'm afraid I'll either make the story too fast or as I am making it now, too slow. I am unable to find a healthy balance and this story is starting to become more of a burden than a joy like it originally is supposed to be. It will still be available on my other sites which are free to read. I would love to continue writing on here but too many times I've run into this issue with my stories and I've tried to cut down but that isn't the kind of writer I am, I'm sorry :( Please feel
The Forsaken Luna Chapter Twenty-Five (2/2)
Serenia awakes alone in the morning with no sign of Kai, other than the slightly crumpled sheets on one side. She prefers this, being unsure how to react after a restless night of sleeping next to each other, this way she can lay in bed for a little while before she expects Sir Olsson at her door for morning training.Washing her face quickly in the bathroom she changes into her training uniform and waits for Sir Olsson, but at least an hour passes, and no one has even come to offer her breakfast. She decides to wait a few more minutes before going to check the hall to ask a servant.She catches one rushing by the room and calls for him to stop.“Do you happen to know where Sir Olsson is?” she asks.“Oh, my lady, what are you still doing here?” he asks in a panic.She looks behind her, thinking he might be speaking to someone else, but that is ridiculous as she is the only one in the room.“Where else am I supposed to be?”“In the aura room! You’re supposed to be undergoing your test

I accidentally titled the last chapter as #20 but it is in fact chapter #24 parts 1 and 2. I'm sorry for the confusion, they should be fixed soon! ~*~*~*~*~ “I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing here, Serenia? Off to ruin someone else’s happy ending?” Rune asks with a sneer.“What are you talking about?” Serenia starts backing away while looking at the door, wondering where the servant that Kai said is going to be there has gone.“It wasn’t enough to have your sister’s happiness, you have to try and take my sister’s? What the hell kind of black aura are you wielding to have wormed your way into the future High Alpha’s bed?” Rune continues to take steps closer to her, cornering her against the greenhouse glass.“I didn’t do anything! He chose me and brought me back here, because I am a mate he isn’t going to reject for some fake.” She tries to shove him as hard as she can, but he doesn’t budge, staring at her with shock and anger.“What did you say?” he whispers.“That’
The Forsaken Luna Chapter Twenty-Four (2/2)
Kai isn’t kidding when he says he prepared something for them in the greenhouse. There is a small round table decorated with vines along the legs and flower petals scattered on the ground. The table is filled with pastries and steamed plates, the sun glinting off the glasses. It’s like a scene straight out of a fairytale painting, something she might see in one of the many books Harbin had her looking at. She feels as if she is being treated like a princess despite her plain attire of a white cotton shirt and black-dyed silk pants, still, clothes she never imagined herself wearing but nothing close to what a princess or royalty would ever wear. Kai is the perfect gentleman by pulling her chair out and pushing her in, making sure all her utensils are safe to use and testing her food before she can touch it. Once he is satisfied with everything he takes a seat across from her with a timid smile. She can tell he is uncomfortable and unsure of how to start off the conversation and she c

“Oh, you weren’t kidding,” Serenia mumbles as Harbin leads her into a large office with walls lined with bookshelves and a large oak table in the middle of the room with tons more books and instruments on top, most of the chairs covered as well. “What is this place?” she asks. “It’s my office,” Harbin answers with a giddy grin, spreading his arms wide like a child showing off his creation. Only the creation blew up and left this mess. “Your office? Aren’t you a royal guard?” “Well, technically yes, all of us warriors from the lower rank families are, all the higher ranks are mostly generals or officials, like Sir Olsson. But my most important role amongst our members is the pack tracker, scout, and healer. I map all the best routes, track the best prey and the most difficult of assassins, and I have the medicinal properties of every herb and plant right here,” he says and taps his head. “Well, colour me impressed,” Serenia mumbles under her breath but Harbin clearly hears it as he
The Forsaken Luna Chapter Twenty-Three (2/2)
Serenia is excited for her first day of training, she barely slept a wink the entire night despite knowing being exhausted isn’t going to help her, there was nothing she could do to fall asleep. She isn’t sure what to expect for her first training but assumed it would have some physical endurance to it.The 50 laps she has been running is the last thing she expected.Sir Olsson started off her training rather harshly with 50 push-ups, 50 sit-ups and now 50 laps around the yard. She didn’t know her body could produce this much sweat without a single drop of water before she started her agonizing journey.“Only 10 more to go, my lady!” Sir Olsson cries out from the other side of the yard where he lounges under the shade of a tree.Serenia lets out a loud groan and pushes herself a little harder to run faster and get this over with. She can’t imagine what he has planned for her next after all of this.Once her laps are done, she collapses to the dirt-covered ground, every bone in her bod
The Forsaken Luna Chapter Twenty-Three (1/2)
“The next Luna of your tribe is not the true mate of your Alpha?”Serenia didn’t know what to expect when meeting the High Alpha of the Wolfmane Tribe, but she had an idea before arriving at the War Room where the beast never leaves.And a beast this man is.High Alpha Erik towers over Serenia by at least two feet and is built like a darn barn. He has vibrant blue eyes that seem to pierce the soul and a large black beard covering his face almost up to his eyes, the rest covered by long braided hair. She feels as small as a snail in his presence, but his commanding attention is solely on her.After Serenia shared with Kai that her sister Savea and the new Alpha of the Raseri Tribe are not mates he demanded to speak with his father.Serenia wasn’t expecting him to bring her along.“Yes, sir, that’s correct. My sister is the current Luna of our tribe, but she is not the mate of Alpha Rune.”“How can you confirm or prove this?” High Alpha Erik asks.She pauses and looks hesitantly at Kai,

Their conversation is interrupted by a curt knock at the door and the guard that Sir Olsson placed at the door enters. “His Royal Highness, Sir Kai, is requesting permission to –” “Let me in, Viktor! You have no right to guard the door!” Kai bellows from outside the door, which the guard promptly closes behind him. Sir Olsson lets out an exhausted sigh and a small chuckle. “Well, I believe that’s my cue to end this conversation, as lovely as it has been, my lady.” Serenia stands up with him to walk him to the door, fiddling with her fingers the entire way, unsure of how to properly see someone off. “This has been an absolute delight and pleasure, Miss Hansen. I look forward to the next time I see you, which is hopefully on the training grounds,” Sir Olsson says and picks up her hand to place a polite kiss on the back of her hand in farewell before seeing himself out. As soon as the doorway is cleared,
The Forsaken Luna Chapter Twenty-Two (1/2)
Sir Olsson stares awkwardly at Serenia for a few seconds before clearing his throat.“I can’t comment on the rumours and dramatics that have gone around since you’ve arrived, it was a very sudden surprise for most of us and we were unsure how to react when our future High Alpha declared he had finally found his mate and brought her home – but she is severely injured.”Seeing it from his point of view does help her understand how others might be perceiving her sudden arrival here, only seeing it as herself getting out of a bad situation and escaping to one with a promise of a better life. How can she expect everyone to welcome her with open arms?“Why is Aurora Iversen here?” she asks.“I suspect the reason she originally arrived is no longer valid, however, this was before we knew of your existence and I’m sure before Kai was aware too. She was to be a potential marriage candidate, the only actual one left in the eyes of High Alpha Erik, who hopes to be able to pass down the title to
