All Chapters of The First Human Luna: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

King Harvey sits beside me at a round table as he and the kings continue to speak of war. Eventually, King Harvey breaks down in laughter at some funny tale that I don’t get to understand. Meanwhile, the wives and I are still taking notes on what exactly to teach humans about werewolves, but werewolves about humans as well. A mutual understanding will bring both sides to an equal group. I wish I had the courage to ask about half-breed children, but I don’t. I have mentioned hospitals for innocent people and they like that idea, those that have been hurt in battle or otherwise will have a free place to go for help. “Elena,” The King of the East’s wife says. “We do need to see some of your luna powers…” “Why?” King Harvey tenses beside me and I hear the quiet click of his talons. The King of the East catches the sound and makes eye-contact with King Harvey. “My wife will not harm yours, Harvey.” The King of the East comments icily. “Very well.” King Harvey places both hands on the

King Harvey’s aunt and uncle leave at midnight, promising a soon return. I lay in bed beside him in silence, my mind running with all these plans to train. I must get a baton that extends, I must talk to Emily about Beta Tom before running into him tomorrow. I must buy a breast-pump or several of them. I must keep training. “You healed the King of the North, Elena.” King Harvey whispers as he runs his taloned hand down the side of my face. “I am so proud of you my heart could rip at the seams.” “Did I heal him all the way?” “Enough to save him, Elena. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tells everyone. This will work great for us.” I sit up. “It will?” “Yes, Elena. You are an ally. They will look upon you kindly.” “Oh! How good! This will help you too!” “I just want your safety, Elena.” King Harvey draws my hands to his lips and kisses them. “I am so happy for your growing abilities and confidence.” “Thank you. Can we rest now?” I feel foolish to ask, but my eyes are drifting shut.

The weeks pass by faster than I can grasp them. Every day I train with King Harvey for five hours a day. He and I have found a sync that makes my heart sing. King Harvey can now read me with a glance because of our bonded power. My hands react to my thoughts when it comes to using my powers. It is as if my luna powers are a small pond of water, that I can draw water from as often as I need, if I don’t overdo it. I can even see the pond whenever I close my eyes and clear my mind. Taking a seat beside King Harvey on the floor, I share his gaze. King Harvey is staring at his armor as he sharpens my dagger, not even looking at the blade. “You are doing very well, Elena.” King Harvey says as he continues to sharpen the blade. “Recall what I said about your mind? Do you understand now?” “Yes, as long as I keep my mind open, everything works well!” I kiss his cheek and he moves to look at me, grinning happily. “You will be able to fashion an armor of your own with your powers, Elena. Th

“Where are you taking me, King Harvey?” I ask as he picks me up over his shoulder and runs off into the forest. “I believe we should rest in our cottage, Elena. Do you mind? Close your eyes, Elena. It will be a very fast blur.” “No, let’s go!” King Harvey picks up the pace and I feel him running faster. When he places me down on the ground, I open my eyes and feel stable. It has been a few hours since the luna ceremony, and King Harvey snuck me away from the after party. “You kidnapped me away from the party.” King Harvey chuckles lovingly. “You look exhausted, Elena. Please, let’s take a nap together.” “You haven’t been resting well, King Harvey.” I run my hand down his chest and he catches my hand to kiss it sweetly. “I have worried about you, my mate. I believed in you, but I could feel your fears.” “Oh, I am sorry!” King Harvey picks me up and carries me across the threshold of our cottage, then lays me down in bed. He lies in bed beside me and holds me to his chest. “I

King Harvey and I return to the castle in a simple blur because King Harvey would like to check up on what is happening in the castle. He carries our duffle bags on his back and drops them at the foot of our bed. “I smell my parents’ scent, Elena.” King Harvey says softly as he begins to pick through our bag. He dumps our dirty clothing in the hamper, and I begin to put away his colored pencils and art pad in the side desk by our bed. “King Harvey, do you think this would be a nice visit?” “You have shown yourself as a Luna Queen, and you have had your official crowning. As such, there should be no issue, Elena.” King Harvey’s words are firm yet kind. I nod when he looks up at me and hope he is right. King Harvey suddenly stands at his full height and draws in an obvious deep breath. King Harvey straightens his back and forces a smile on his face. He is mentally preparing for a bit of a mess. Rushing to his side, I take a seat on the edge of the bed and hold his hand tight. “It
