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
The Returned Luna Chapter 109: Inheritance
“Stop.” Eden’s eyes flashed with golden light like the sun. The air shook and Laurel felt something shimmering in the air. The general and the vampires who were going to attack him froze in place. “Kill each other,” He sneered with another flash of his eyes. “Painfully.”The general turned first, cutting through a man who was just beside him. The vampire holding Laurel gasped and started to tremble as her stomach churned at the sight. They hissed and cried out as they attacked each other. Blood splashed through the air, pooling around the bodies. They drove their swords through each others’ chests, stabbing until the bodies grew still and silent. They severed each other’s heads and tore at each other until only the general remained alive, swaying on his feet.A head rolled towards her. The eyes looked up at her, the expression was twisted in horror.“You…” he choked out and turned toward Eden. “I…”“Kill yourself,” Eden said with another flash of his eyes. The general cried out and
The Returned Luna Chapter 110: Parted
They rode in silence for a while. Eden was a bit surprised at her silence. He expected her to ask more questions. A part of him knew that she wasn't done asking. Perhaps, she was thinking of a way to let Adolph know which way to go through the cave matrix. “How do you know we're going the right way?” Laurel asked as they turned. “It’s pitch black.”He chuckled, charmed by her innocence and her transparency. It was refreshing to meet someone who didn't know how to deceive. Even her attempts to remain neutral about finding out that he was part vampire had been charming.“Practice.” “Can I trust that?”“Can you?”Laurel went quiet. It didn't matter if she could trust his words or not at this point. She had no way of letting Adolph know which way to go even if she managed to tear pieces of her dress and leave them on the trail.Eden knew Adolph was too smart to try and risk getting lost in the caves. He would likely take a path through the forest that led to where he supposed the exit o
