AYLA

When Slade’s footsteps disappeared down the corridor, I exhaled the breath I’d been holding.

My heart was still racing. My skin still tingled from where he touched me, or rather, almost touched me. I hated that I could still feel it, like his fingertips had branded me with something I couldn’t wash away.

And worse, I hated that I wanted it. How can I feel so close to somebody this early, and without the mate bond? With Asher, there was no feeling between us because I wasn’t his mate. The whole pack knew. His mate will forever be Luna Kali.

I have heard stories of how the matebond works. It drives two people crazy about each other and not want to leave one another. Is that what’s happening?

But that’s impossible, a wolf and a lycan can’t have a mate bond. It’s forbidden. There has to be an explanation for this sudden reaction from Slade and me. With him trying to touch me, and me almost letting him.

I wrapped my arms tighter around myself and leaned against the stone wall, the coo

  • The Promised Luna   Chapter 14!Lady and the Soldier!

    AYLA“There!” I screamed, and a huge lion jumped out.It was massive, its golden tail tangled with twigs, and its roar thundered through the trees like an earthquake. For a split second, it felt like the world stopped. The warriors around the yard scrambled, yelling orders and drawing weapons, but the beast’s eyes were locked on me.“Ayla, run!” Riven barked, stepping in front of me.The lion charged forward.Riven met it mid-air, his sword flashing as he slashed at the creature’s shoulder. It howled, twisting mid-air and tearing his skin open with a swipe of its massive paw. Riven flew back, landing hard with a heavy crack that made my blood boil.“Riven!” I cried, dropping to my knees beside him.His face was pale, lips bloodied, chest rising unevenly. Blood soaked through his shirt, his arms had been slashed deep, flesh torn open like paper. His sword was a few feet away, and his hand twitched toward it, but he was too weak to reach it.The lion snarled again, circling us. I could

  • The Promised Luna   Chapter 15!You are his Lady!

    AYLAIt’s been a few days since the lion attack, and more so, Queen Lyra’s accusation of me starting said attack.Now, because of her accusation, I get mixed reactions from the people in the palace. Some look at me with amusement while others give me the side eye. I could feel myself being undressed by them. But, in the days that have passed, I haven’t seen Riven, nor does anyone seem to know or remember him. I have been to the training yard to catch a glimpse of him, even waking up early, but he is nowhere to be found. It looked like he just disappeared. The first day, I asked the weapon master where he was.“Riven?” The old man squinted at me. “Don’t know anyone by that name, lass.”I laughed, certain he was teasing. “Tall, lean, a bit of an arrogant smirk? He helped train the new soldiers. He saved me during the lion attack.”His face remained blank. “I think you hit your head harder than you thought that day.”I left with my stomach turning.The second day, I approached a servan

  • The Promised Luna   Chapter 16!Not even close

    AYLAI couldn’t move.I stood on the docks long after Slade walked away, his words echoing in my ears like a stamp on my body: You belong to me and only me.The guards eyed me warily, unsure whether to escort me back or pretend I didn’t exist. The sun dipped low, washing the sea in gold, but all I could see was Riven’s pale face disappearing into the ship’s shadows.Gone. Why had somebody else whom I had known only for a short time ripped away from me again?So Slade decided to send Riven away, all because I saw him as a friend. Have I ruined Riven’s life, the way I ruined my maids? When I returned to my suite, the air was suffocating. The silence screamed louder than any insult. The maids avoided my eyes. No one offered to take my cloak. I was invisible. Or worse, tainted. I have already denied them their daily payment. It will be best if they are not around me.I collapsed onto the edge of my bed and buried my face in my hands. I didn’t cry. Not yet. The pains and struggles I have

  • The Promised Luna   Chapter 17!I Didn’t Ask for This!

    SLADE“You need to make sure it works,” I said to one of my commanding officers, my hand gripping the chamber door handle.“Yes, your Highness,” he saluted and walked away. The door opened, and I noticed someone on one of the chairs.“What’s so important that it should work?” Ayla’s voice floated through the air as she turned to face me. I smirked and smiled within myself. Putting on a straight face, I walked towards my chair and sat right in front of her; the huge table was the only thing between us.“What do you want?” I asked her, she took her eyes away from me, and she dangled with her hair. I tried to read her emotions and behaviour. She was trying her best to be confident, and she was failing at it.“I came to talk about the wages of the people under my service,” she said with her eyes locked on mine. I’m guessing her confidence is back. Well, I’m going to break it.“You are not here to talk about your lover?” I asked her, searching her eyes for a faint glimmer of the truth. W

  • The Promised Luna   Chapter 18!My Powers Work… Just Not on Him!

    AYLAI could feel how his body grew tense at the sounds of my words. I swallowed hard and kept trying to feel my powers even within the grasp of my fingertips, but nothing seemed to be working.Slade is right, something is wrong with me. I definitely don’t have feelings for Riven despite his claims, but my powers work on him; why can’t it work just as well on Slade?“I don’t believe you,” he said with a deep tone. I don’t believe myself either. I kept trying to use my powers, but nothing came out of me.“What don’t you believe?” I asked him. The look he gave me meant he is still hung over about Riven. “I’m not lying,” I replied. “And if I were, would I look this disappointed that I couldn’t heal you?”I turned away, holding onto a chair to give myself balance. I watched as he rearranged the table he threw to the other side of the room. He sat down and went through his cabinet. My heart skipped a beat when he brought out one of the numerous bottles inside.I would love to find out what

  • The Promised Luna   Chapter 19!A Whole Lot Worse Than That!

    AYLA“You need to get out of my way before I lose my patience,” I said as she stood between me and the door.“I’m sorry, my lady, but I’m under strict orders not to let you leave the palace,” she said, and I scoffed.“Let me?” I asked her. She blinked and nodded her head. I sighed and looked around the room. I’m really getting tired of people telling me what I can and cannot do in this palace.“You need to get out of my way.” My hands turned into a fist. I could feel something inside me rising. “It’s okay, Lady Tara. My mother will pay the ultimate sacrifice,” Tara said. I turned to her, confused and sad. How could someone say that?“No one is paying any ultimate sacrifice because the King won’t pay your wages. I will take matters into my own hands,” I turned to the one standing between the doors. “Now, move,” I released my fist, and a wind filled the room. The wind didn’t cause any damage, but it was heavy enough for me to see the fear in her eyes. I closed my eyes and calmed down

    AYLA“That’s a lie,” I said to Maria. “You knew I’d make it,” I said to her. Her smirk turned to anger. “What were you thinking, leaving the palace?” she asked. I exhaled and walked away from her. “I was thinking someone needed my help, and there was no way, I’m not going to give it.” I placed my hands on the walls of the building. “That’s just great, you are both stupid and righteous,” I took my hands from the wall and looked at her.“If saving a woman’s life means I’m righteous. Then I’m all for it,” I turned to her fully. Standing right in her face. “Are we going to get this over with or not?” I asked her.“We should come back another time. The palace is too hot right now,” she said, and I scoffed. “You are afraid of getting caught?” I asked her, with a bit of cockness in my voice. She didn’t say a word, but her silence was all the answer I needed. “Might I remind you, I have something that can destroy you and your place in the palace,” I said to her. “You could lose everythin

  • The Promised Luna   Chapter 21!I Let Him Happen!

    AYLAI roamed my fingers around the letters of my mother’s pack, Seraphina Nightshade. I remember her telling me stories about it. She used to say how beautiful it was, and everyone loved each other like family. The thought or act of conflict wasn’t heard or seen in Seraphina Nightshade. I begged her numerous times to take me there, but she always had the same answer for me back then. “I’m no longer a nightshade, Ayla. I’m a Stormbringer,” remembering those words now, I could hear the fear in her voice. Like she thought returning to her home wouldn’t bring peace, but war.I opened up the pages, and as I read each line, it sounded like my mother’s voice in the back of my ears. I could feel her breath like she was behind me. What I read were exactly the stories she told me back when she was alive. I flipped the pages when I saw another title that peaked at me.“The Prophecy,” I read out loud. It stated that it begins in the Nightshade pack about a werewolf who is also a witch. This wer

  • The Promised Luna   Chapter 22!I Know What You Are Doing!

    AYLAIt has been a few days since Slade confined me to my room. I wasn’t allowed visitors or maids. My meals were brought in, and that was the only human interaction I had seen.But instead of being upset, I used the time to learn some spells from the old books I found. I started with easy ones, like lighting a candle with just a word or lifting small things with magic. I’ve gotten good at those, so now I’m trying harder spells. Some of them can actually be used to protect myself, or fight, if I need to.Ever since I started practicing with spells, the magic in me seems to be growing stronger unpredictable. I still haven’t come to terms with being a wolfless werewolf and a witch. But I try to push the thoughts away and focus more on my practice. Today, I’m ready for something bigger. I raise my hand and speak the words from the spell, “Pa vanos.” The air around me shivers, and the window in front of me suddenly shatters, disappearing into nothingness.“Damn,” I mutter, stepping back
