All Chapters of The First Human Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elena’s POVI am sick of the spring water and after a glance at King Harvey I see he is fine. I want to ask more about his war scars, but I think that is a very sensitive topic to ask him about war. We are happy right now.I will not be the one to push him into a bad mindset.“King Harvey, I know we have three days together, and it is late. Perhaps … could we go to the flower shop nearby? It was my mom’s favorite...” I am too nervous to look him in the eyes, but he lifts my chin to look at him.“Elena, whatever you want I will grant you.” King Harvey runs his pointer finger down the side of my face, chasing my right cheekbone.My heart pounds violently at his words and actions. I need to learn to accept his affection, but after a lifetime of being a mother to both my father and sister, it is hard for me to think I would be living in a romantic situation that is safe and loving.“Thank you, King Harvey.” I lower my head and blush, and he leans in and kisses my nose.“I am sick of this

Elena’s POV“We need to marry first. We must suffer together.”Looking up at him, I watch his eyes fade to brown as he sighs. I feel as if I have failed him, but it is true, the werewolf rule is to wait.Instead, I stay calm and kiss his nose.He lays beside me and drops off to sleep as if nothing was wrong.I awake alone. The warm spot where King Harvey slept is cold as I blindly reach for him. I didn’t expect to feel so safe in his arms.Not to mentioned loved…It is our last day here, have I done something wrong? I was as polite as I could be and helped him calm down from a bloodthirsty rage. I have done good.Is he mad at me?No, he was very kind last night. He seems happy to be with me.I know I am happy to be with him.Rolling over on my back I sigh, wondering what to do with myself.Did he leave a note?I get up and check the nightstand. There is nothing there.Oh no.What do I do?Looking at the dial up phone on the nightstand, I decide to call Emily’s training grounds. King H

“Elena! Jane is still yelling! We have sedated her, and she keeps popping up.” Emily suddenly hangs up the phone, but instead texts me.GO HOME, ELENA!Texting my sister, a heart back and give Tula a fake smile. I need to get out of here soon.“I forgot. I have a meeting with King Harvey. I will see you later.” I give Tula a quick hug and she hugs me back.One glance at her and I know she has read my face.“Stay safe.” Tula whispers to me. I nod and I click the wolf pen that King Harvey gave me. Pressing down on the wolf head, I watch its eyes glow red. A whoosh of wind appears to my left and I see King Harvey standing beside me.“Jane has been sedated and is freaking out.” I whisper, worried that somehow Katy can hear me through the cement walls of the school. I didn’t see her.King Harvey smiles darkly. “She doesn’t like you at all. I do not like her.”I frown in question at his words, but I am not given no time to ask. King Harvey picks me up and simply runs back to the castle. Not

Elena’s POV I open my mouth to ask King Harvey when training will begin, but my phone rings. I know it is Emily calling, so I press it to my ear. “Elena! There is a man named Beta Tom here?” Oh, I see he ran off as soon as King Harvey said so. “Yes, Emily. Because of this situation we are in, it has been decided he will be your protector.” Emily giggles, oddly out of character. “He is very handsome, Elena!” “You know he can hear you?” I whisper into my phone as she gasps. King Harvey smiles softly at my side, seemingly amused at our conversation. “Right, right, werewolf…” Emily sighs. “Well, what is he like?” King Harvey takes the phone from my hand kindly and puts it on the speaker. He clears his throat, then speaks. “Beta Tom has my upmost approval as an aid, Emily. Please trust our decision.” “Oh! Of course, King Harvey! Thank you so much for thinking of me in these difficult times and taking care of Elena so kindly. When is the wedding?” Emily replies happily. If I had b

Elena’s POV“Well, Harvey, dear, what qualifications does this human have?”“My name is Elena.” I interject as firmly as my voice allows. My soul trembles with a mixture of pain and fury. “It is nice to meet you, Queen.”“Ah, I see. She is brave.” King Harvey’s mother turns to face me now, staring me full in the face.Looking back at her in silence, I see she has King Harvey’s brown eyes and nose. Her light brown hair flows behind her freely, long, and soft.“Mother.” King Harvey begins after he clears his throat. “You are to be kind to Elena.”“As your mother, I can act as I please. I never believed you would mate with a human.”King Harvey exhales. “We are not mated yet.”“Oh!” King Harvey’s mother brightens up, her eyes shining like the moon. “Good, go pick a worthy werewolf woman.”“King Harvey, I-!”King Harvey’s mother interrupts me by pressing her taloned finger to my lips. I have no choice but to remain silent, the claw on her pointer finger brushes the tip of my nose.“She is
