The Returned Luna Chapter 101: Complete
Henry watched Basil swing and nearly miss for what felt like the millionth time today. He was pretty sure that his nephew wasn't going to be able to work much longer like this. What had happened to him?A couple of days ago there had been another change in Basil's behavior. He showed up still stumbling around, picked up an ax, and got to work without saying much of anything, reeking of alcohol and looking exhausted. He looked a little past nauseous today, yet he didn't let up on his clumsy, though decent, pace. Henry wasn't sure what to make of it though he and Raven had spoken about Basil's strange behavior lately. Maybe he was fighting with his wife. Henry knew that anytime he and Raven were at odds it was hard for him to focus, but something told him that that wasn't the case.Basil’s ax skittered across the stone uselessly before falling from his hands, and Henry decided that was enough.“Basil, sit down for a second.”Basil turned blinking at him before obeying sitting on the st
The Returned Luna Chapter 102 : Theory
The morning of the wedding came faster than she imagined it would. She prepared to leave her room to start the traditions of the day only to find Basil standing outside of her door looking as though he was about to knock.Her eyes narrowed at him in suspicion, “What do you want?”“Laura--”Laurel held up a hand, “I have nothing to say to you.”“But you're--”“Laurel, the king’s mate and luna, and you are the prince, his son.”Basil clenched his jaw, “I can't accept that. Didn't you love me? You can't say that you don't feel anything for me anymore.”Her eyes turned cold as she looked at him unfeeling and unflinching.*“You are nothing.”* Basil’s blood ran cold as the cool breeze of that night whirled around him. *“Though I am glad you have shown your wretched face.”*The look of shock on his face gave her the strength to keep going.“Soon, the kingdom will know that His Majesty *is my mate and the one I will love for the rest of my life*.”“Laura--”“I will be the luna of the kingdom
The Returned Luna Chapter 103: Marriage and War
The walk to the temple from the ballroom wasn't long, but it was very scenic. The path had been cleared of weeds and replanted with fresh paving stones to guide the way and new flowers that seemed more vibrant than any flower had the right to be after being planted less than a week prior.Oliver, the gardener, had outdone himself.“Are you all right?” Laurel looked up at Adolph. His expression was pensive and troubled. “Are you feeling okay?”Adolf lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles, “I am overjoyed. You look lovely.”“Somehow, temple wear suits you.”“Do you think I can get away with wearing it all the time?”“I doubt it would do anything to lessen your very menacing reputation.”“Probably not.”Laurel gassed as they rounded the corner and she got her first look at the temple. The columns looked new. She couldn't even tell that it had been in a state of disrepair. The steps gleamed as if they had been polished and were lined with moonstone that glinted a silvery-blue in the even
The Returned Luna Chapter 104: Luna Laurel
Adolf closed his fist swiftly, breaking the man’s neck before standing and wiping his face with disgust.“Burn this man’s body and get the rest of them to the dungeons to be interrogated. They’ll crack and I don’t care if they die.”“As you wish, Your Majesty.”Adolph watched Chasel and the guards take the rest of them away. He turned to Laurel who looked a bit pale but smiled at him. “I’m sorry for killing him in front of you like that.”She shook her head, “I expected it… He spit in your face.”He grimaced, “No more killing for the day at least.”Laurel almost laughed. She realized it was a very morbid thing to laugh about, but she couldn't help it. They walked to the secluded fountain in the garden so he could wash his face and hands.“They didn't intend to kill you,” Adolph said, wiping the water from his face. “It seemed that man had orders to kidnap you. For what reason, I don't know, but I don't like it.”There was only one person he could think of who would have a reason to k
The Returned Luna Chapter 105: Married
The reception ended slowly. People were mostly too drunk to leave that night and ended up staying in the various guest rooms around the castle. Laura and Adolf retired as soon as Raven said that they had the rest of the cleanup in hand. Laurel was a bit nervous as she realized that she wouldn't be returning to the room she had been staying in that night. Raven had already told her that they had already moved all of her things to the luna’s quarters and Adolph was clear that he intended to spend the night with her.What would that mean she wasn't exactly sure. She didn’t have much of a concept of what he intended to do to consummate their marriage. Was sleeping in the same bed enough or would he want sex?“Are you okay?”Laura wasn't entirely sure she could answer that question. She supposed she had been preparing for it in some way. In her past life, she had tried to prepare herself. She shuddered at the thought. She didn't think Adolf would leave her the way Basil had left her, but t
The Returned Luna Chapter 106: Missing
Laurel woke up sometime midday, curled into Adolph's arms and warm. Her body ached a bit, but she felt no pain and no regret. Their mating bond hummed with emotions. She could feel Adolph's wolf stirring his chest as Alice reached out to him. Who won“Good morning,” Adolf said, drawing her attention.She looked up at him. They were married and mated. There was no doubt in her mind or her heart that Adolph wanted her.“Good morning, Adolf.”Adolf grinned, “I love the sound of my name from your lips.”Laurel’s face burned with embarrassment and she moved to get out of bed. Adolf tugged her back down and rolled them so he pinned her to the bed.“I believe I said that I would be keeping you busy for several days…”Laurel squeaked as he shifted his weight between her thighs, hard and hot against her “Oh, but I have things to do!”“And I have needs, my queen. You are one of them.”“But--!”He dipped his head to kiss her, silencing her as she tried to get free, but he pinned her arms to the
The Returned Luna Chapter 107: Taken
Slowly, the world came back to her. Light. Sound. Then shapes and smells. It smelled like fragrant wood and polish. The seats were covered in plain fabric. It wasn’t a royal carriage, but it could have been a basic transportation carriage used to transport families between cities. The world rocked violently, jostling her against the side of the carriage. She groaned at the pain in her neck. Where was she? The first thing she saw was silver and black shackles around her wrists, connected by a short silver chain. They felt heavy, but her whole body felt heavy. Had she been drugged, or was she just exhausted?"...Adolph?"She looked up and across her but the face there was not who she was expecting. She froze. She didn’t recognize him or the woman sitting beside him. Their eyes stared at her unblinking and they were unnaturally still.*Vampires.*Her heart sped up in fear. A scream built and stopped in her chest expanding almost painfully, but she held back. She had to keep calm.
The Returned Luna Chapter 108: Half Breed
Laurel could barely breathe. Eden stared down at her, but she didn’t recognize him like this. In place of the kind young man who had helped her find a place to live, a calculating man stood with a calculating look on his face. His expression was placid as if he felt nothing and his eyes watched her with a sense of knowing that made her deeply uncomfortable.What did he see?His presence seemed to shimmer with darkness and malicious intent. Her heart raced. Would he kill her?“You are quite resourceful.” He approached her slowly and crouched on the other side of the rock. “Unfortunately, you need a bit more than a rock and brute force to break the shackles.”“Why are you doing this, Eden?”He sighed, “It would have been easier if you had just agreed to come with me…”“I told you I couldn't do that. I thought you just wanted to make things better for humans…” She swallowed past the dryness in her throat, “Was that a lie too?”“I do. But how am I meant to do that with the vampire quee
