The Rejected Luna's Return Chapter Eighteen
NIA'S POV.As I walked with Elsa in the garden, I pointed out different types of flowers and told her their names. She was so interested and asked so many questions that it made me smile. It was refreshing to see someone so eager to learn and appreciate the beauty of nature."That's a beautiful rose," I said, pointing to a vibrant red one.Elsa nodded, "Yes, it is. It's my favorite."We stopped by a patch of purple tulips, and I crouched down to get a closer look before picking them. "These are my favorite flowers," I said."Why is that?" Elsa asked, crouching down next to me."I just love the color, and they always remind me of the coming of spring," I replied.We walked around for a while, enjoying the fresh air and the calming atmosphere of the garden. Elsa was a great companion and we talked about everything and nothing. It was like we had known each other for years.When it started getting dark, I suggested that we go back inside. But Elsa refused, saying that she didn't want to
The Rejected Luna's Return Chapter Nineteen
ELSA'S POV. I returned to my room, my back still aching from the previous night's events. I wanted to take a bath and prepare for the day ahead, hoping that things would start to look up. As I drew the bath and waited for it to fill up, I realized that I was still confused about what had happened between me and Savio. I was still scared, yet inexplicably drawn to him. I pushed those thoughts aside for now and decided to focus on getting ready.I stepped outside to grab my clothes, but what I saw next completely shocked me. My mother was sitting on my bed, blood streaming from her eyes. I was taken aback and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought I was hallucinating or something. Her eyes were like nothing I had ever seen before. They were completely red as if she had been crying blood. Her skin was ashen, and she looked as if she was on the brink of death.I stumbled backward, my heart racing. I tried to speak, but no words came out. I couldn't even scream. All I could do was
The Rejected Luna's Return Chapter Twenty
ARTHUR'S POV.I woke up this morning feeling exhausted. My mind and body were drained from the constant politics and responsibilities of being the Lycan King. I knew I had a busy day ahead of me, but I couldn't even find the energy to lift myself off the bed.I lay in bed for a few minutes, trying to gather my thoughts and muster up some strength. I then remembered that I had sent for the diviner to come to see me this morning. I knew I needed his guidance and insight to make the right decisions for my kingdom.As I slowly got up from my bed, I could feel my body protesting each movement. My muscles ached and my bones felt like they were made of lead. I had barely slept the night before, and the stress of the day before was still weighing heavily on me.I made my way to the bathroom, splashed some water on my face, and tried to shake off the tiredness. I knew I had to get ready for the diviner's arrival, but I could barely summon the energy to get dressed.As I put on my royal attire,
The Rejected Luna's Return Chapter Twenty-one
I left the dining hall feeling quite relieved. The meal was quite sumptuous, but I could only manage to eat a small portion of it. My thoughts were preoccupied with Elsa and the strange occurrence in her room. I could not wait to get back to my room and sort out my thoughts.As I walked through the hallway, I could feel the coldness of the castle seep into my bones. It was always chilly, but today it felt particularly frigid. I wrapped my fur shawl around me tightly, trying to preserve as much heat as I could.The corridors were empty, and I could hear the echo of my footsteps with each stride. It was almost as if the entire castle was in a state of slumber. The only sounds were the creaking of the doors and the hushed whispers of the guards.I made my way up the spiral staircase that led to my room. The staircase was narrow, and I had to take each step cautiously. At the top, I stopped to catch my breath, leaning against the wall. The castle's height always left me a bit lightheaded,
The Rejected Luna's Return Chapter Twenty-two
As the Lycan King, I had always been aware of the power of the Diviners. Their ability to predict the future and see into the unknown was something that had always fascinated me. That was why I had summoned one of the most renowned Diviners in the land to my castle. I wanted answers, and I was determined to get them.The Diviner was a young woman with piercing blue eyes that seemed to look right through me. I had been hopeful when she arrived at the castle, thinking that perhaps she could give me some insight into the unrest that had been brewing among my people. But as we sat together in my chamber, I could feel my disappointment growing by the second."You say there is nothing special about you?" I asked her, my voice laced with disbelief. "That you are just an ordinary woman, carrying my heir?"She nodded, her eyes still fixed on me."I see no reason for you to be scared," she continued. "I only feel a deep sense of responsibility to protect the life that grows within me."Her word

Elsa's POVNia looked at me with a concerned expression, "What's wrong Elsa? Why do you want to leave? You can tell me anything."I tried to speak, but my words came out in a stutter, "I...I... I can't stay here any longer."Nia placed a comforting hand on my shoulder and led me to the bed. "Just take a deep breath and calm down. Tell me what's wrong."I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down, but I couldn't shake the fear that was gripping me. "I...I'm scared. I can't be here anymore."Nia's embrace didn't do much to ease my fear. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see the Alpha's face, hear his voice, and feel his hands on my skin. The memory of his attempted assault made me shiver with fear."I know it's scary, Elsa, but you don't have to be afraid. The King won't let anything happen to you," Nia said, trying to reassure me.But her words fell on deaf ears. I couldn't help but feel that I was in danger, that something bad was going to happen to me.Nia sat with me for hours,
The Rejected Luna's Return Chapter Twenty-four
I was sitting at my desk, going through some paperwork when my secretary walked in and handed me a letter. It was an invitation to the Alpha's meeting. I felt a sudden surge of anger and frustration wash over me. I knew what this meant, another tedious meeting filled with empty words and meaningless posturing.I opened the letter and scanned through it quickly. The meeting was scheduled for tomorrow morning, and all Alphas needed to attend. I sighed deeply, wondering what Ursula had in store for us this time.As I read on, I made a mental note to ensure Elsa's safety before I left. The last thing I needed was for her to be caught up in Ursula's problems. She had already been through enough, and I didn't want her to be dragged into the political games of the Alpha Council.After finishing up some work, I went back to my room and tried to sleep, but my mind was restless. I couldn't shake off the feeling of anger and frustration that had taken hold of me. I tossed and turned in my bed, r

ELSA'S POV.I woke up to the sound of light knocking on my door. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, wondering who it could be. When I opened the door, I saw two maids standing in front of me, with smiles on their faces."Good morning, Your Highness," one of them said. "Luna Nia has ordered that you be brought to the dining room immediately. We are here to assist you."I nodded, still groggy from sleep, and let them in. They immediately set to work, bustling around my room and gathering things. One of them ran a bath for me, filling the tub with warm, fragrant water, while the other laid out clothes for me to wear.The maids were both young, with smooth, unblemished skin and bright eyes. One had long, black hair, while the other had curly, blonde hair that fell in soft ringlets around her face. They moved with practiced ease, their movements smooth and fluid.I felt my cheeks start to heat up in embarrassment. I had never been comfortable with others touching my body, and the thought of bein

ELSA'S POVBy the time it was evening, I was sickly tired waiting for Arthur to show up. He had boldly asked me not to come, that I should enjoy my day but if I was honest, I swear that I had done anything but enjoy today. Be anxious? sure. Get mad? Definitely. Shiver? Hmm-mm. Get happy a tad? Sure again. I had rocked and rocked and rocked, getting so tired of waiting that evening. I was about to go west my fancy jacket and go have this uncertain conversation with him that is scary with him when the door knob turned and I froze. Arthur came in and to my pleasure and displeasure, he wore a giant smile on his face probably happy that he could finally see me, honestly after my mini-investigation in the semi-afternoon, I was not so sure anymore."Hey, well... Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. A kiss?" He asked, walking towards me in such a hurry, you might mistake me for the breath of life. He looked so good and I knew I could get easily distracted by that but I chose not to. I rose a han

ELSA'S POVOur wedding night had not been what I thought it was going to be. It was everything I imagined and more and the fact that I did not get any sleep was pleasing instead of stressful. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I could not find Arthur, I sat up, rubbing my eyes from the pleasing exhaustion at the same time. I looked around and if I was being honest just as I felt different, in a good way, the room looked different too. So different and good too. I flashed a smile to myself as I thought that of course it would look different because I was not in my room, I was in Arthur's room or if I was being accurate, I would say my room. I got up from the bed and walked swiftly to the mirror, naked. I looked at myself in the mirror and not only did I feel different, I looked different. There were hickeys on my neck and ear, it was certainly an interesting look. I wore the robe I found on Arthur's side of the bed, which was made and a white card that had little hearts on it. I

ELSA'S POVThe big wedding was in motion. I mean the planning was in motion but it was the same thing. Most people were so surprised when Arthur gave the announcement that day. Shocked to the brim and beyond while some smiled and nodded their approval. The rest just glared at me as though they would have loved to stab me with a knife if it was allowed. Shreds. And I did not even blame them, I was still surprised myself. I was so excited just as I was anxious. I still had a baby growing in me and I did not know the father and I was freaking out. I could scratch my own eyes out. Just as the wedding planning was in set, so was my running away planning. I needed to flee with my head still intact."What are doing in here staring at the wall?" I turned and saw Nia standing at the door with an amused look on her face. I flashed her a smile and shook my head slowly, thinking of what to say. "Arthur has been smiling since yesterday, I am so surprised that his jaw is not been hurting yet." She

ELSA'S POVI had no idea that there was a cabin back here. When Emily directed me here it was like she had been blabbing. I had walked this whole place and this was the first time I was seeing this place. I guess the structure of the house was weird. I stood in front of the 'invisible' cabin and searched for the most important words at that moment. I knew the words I wanted to say were that I loved him so much, that l was willing to put away the paralysis of fear that held me down, and that I wanted to be his wife. That I was going to be his wife. That was the most important one. I took three bold and quiet steps up the small stair that had its wood painted red. Nice.My stomach rumbled in fear and my heart thudded against my chest. I raised my hands to knock and surprisingly on the first attempt it landed on the door with a very faint thud, produ

NIA'S POV"I wanted it to be a surprise for you. But I just needed something to give me an edge and make you listen to me. I love you and if staying here will make you believe it then I'm staying here and I'm not leaving. But that depends on what you think of it all. I need to be sure that you are comfortable with it. I don't want to shove anything down your throat and force you to want this just because I do. Do you understand?" He asked and I nodded. A big smile on my face."Woah. I love how you put things and I love that you are doing this for me. You have no idea how much it means to me, Silas. I have never been in love and most importantly I have never had someone love me to the extent of wanting to make a big change as big as what you just announced to make me happy. And I love you too. So much." I said and he closed his eyes for a moment, s

NIA'S POVThere he was. Silas, sat at the edge of the large rock everyone seemed to like. I smiled lightly at the cliche of happy things. I had searched everywhere for him, now that I think about it, why did I not search for him here before going to their tent area? Silly of me.I walked further into the space and I saw a striking blonde woman, who if I was being honest, I had nothing on. Why was Silas talking to this woman out here in the love garden? And why was I suddenly comparing this woman whom I did not know to myself? Insecurities were never a friend. Silas turned to look at them and immediately stood up, putting a clever distance between the both of them as if they were close. They were not. So why was he tripping?"Hey! Um... Hi." He said, grasping for words to say. I gave him a tight-lipped smile and nodded to tell him that I had heard the first greeting and he did not need to repeat it."Hi, if you have a company that would stay long then maybe I should come back, I was th

URSULA'S POV"Woah, mum. You are not selling my sister and definitely not the same man you sold me off to. I will not let that happen. If you need the money do bad and Dad can't control his silly problem and you love him so much, why don't you just go get married to Arthur yourself." I said they both gasped. Okay even though I was angry at that moment I had to admit it was nice to actually get a reaction from my father. He was such a doll sometimes. But apparently, he was not when he was being irresponsible with his money, ordering the servants and selling off his children."You dashed everything I once wanted for myself a few years ago and I am not going to let you do that to Sasha too. You do not even ask us what we want, or what we need. You just know that you have to get your money up and running. Did you ask her what she wanted?" I asked and my mother gestured behind me."She's right behind you and you can use your ears to hear that she was okay with it." I turned around and saw

URSULA'S POVWe all just sat there, no words being said. I guess maybe we were all basking in the memory we had spent in the house. I could not just let the house sell, it was unacceptable, that was where I had my first steps, and said my first words. I opened my mouth, then closed it again. Convinced that even if words were going to come out it was going to be all memories and not help anybody in the current situation we were in. A question finally came out."Um... So how did this happen and why was I not informed sooner?" I finally asked, tired. My family had no perks, only disadvantages. It was maddening and annoying."Well, we thought we could fix it on our own and still think we can fix it, we just need time and six days is no time." My mother said, looking over her shoulders at my father who still had his back on the chair. I wondered how he was still calm enough after all this bad news, it was his farm and he had a lot of land to use. I mean I would not go hungry, cannot. I was

URSULA'S POVThe smile that was on my face when I saw that Nia and Gloria were talking was very big. I wore a big smile on my face because that was enough proof to know that the story I had given her had worked. I wanted this meeting to have a very successful outcome and I knew that could not happen if the two key people involved could not deal with each other, it would not be a success. It would be a big disaster and I did not want that.Now that that seemed settled, I looked around, my eyes searching for Andrew. It was a dreaded day for Arthur, for everyone, but I bet he was with him. The event had already begun and the both of them were still not seen so I could bet that some pep talks were being carried out. There were a lot of faces here, a lot of young faces eager to be the lycan king's wife if only they knew that it was no fairytale but rather it was a nightmare I would bet my ass that they would not be here right now with big smiles on their faces. My eyes caught what seemed t
