All Chapters of Once Banished, Now A Luna : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LILLIE Once again, I was left with nothing to do but wander about the halls aimlessly. Staying in my room all day was bound to drive me insane. This time, I decided to explore a part of the palace I had never been to before - except last night, when I visited Alpha David’s room. I wrapped my arms around myself at the thought. Despite my cotton bra, my nipples stood erect, piercing against the purple silk dress I wore. The thought of Alpha David’s hands exploring parts of my body, and giving me the kind of pleasure I had never known to exist… it seemed to affect me in more ways than I cared to admit. And so did the sound of his laughter. I had never heard or seen him laugh before, but I could tell the sound that reverberated from the walls of the room at the end of the hallway was his. There wasn’t anyone else in the palace who could rouse me the way he did. Except prince Daniel, whom I had only gotten the pleasure of speaking with last night. Two princes and I. How was I to survi

DAVID The nerve of them! It was bad enough that they had made it their point of duty to constitute nuisance in my pack. Now, by some type of miracle, they had gathered the nerve to go after girls again! The same fucking thing that caused my father to take over their pack in the first place! Had they learnt nothing? I let the principal go, and he fell on his knees, tears running down his eyes as he pleaded. “I don’t know what happened. I don’t know how they were able to get past the guards. Most of the guards were killed. Some were brutally injured. My eyes scanned the parking lot. The chaos in front of me tore my heart into pieces. Parents held their children close, while some cried in small circles. Those had to be the parents of children who had been taken, killed or injured. Molten rage flowed through my veins, threatening to poison my blood. There was nothing stopping me from ordering a mass execution on every single one of them. Banished and rogues alike. “Your highness!

LILLIE My anger dissolved into curiosity as I watched him take out his phone. “What the hell are you doing?” “Calling David,” he replied. “I want to tell him I know where the girls are.” Relief washed through me, and victory came next. I stood, head high and proud with my arms folded underneath my chest. “That is why I came here,” I stated. “To make sure that you do the right thing.” “Of course. It’s only a pity that you would lose Logan so soon, just after getting him back.” “Wait. What?” He looked up at me. “If I call David and tell him I have gotten information on the girls, he would be smart enough to figure out whatever cryptic nonsense I give him. By the time he gets there, he would kill every single person responsible for holding them captive.” Confused, my shoulders slumped. Beads of sweat - hot scorching sweat - ran down my face. “And what has that got to do with Logan?” I cried out, but he didn’t respond. He dialed a number and pressed his phone to

LILLIE I hurried to alpha David’s study, running as fast as I could. If the maid reached Jace before I got to David, there was no doubt I was going to be at a higher disadvantage. My heart pounded viciously against the muscular walls of my chest. The faster I ran, the more out of breath I became, and the harder it became to breathe. But I didn’t stop. My brother’s life was at stake.I was losing strength just as fast as I was losing my breath. However, the sight of the door to Alpha David’s study filled me with hope once more. I quickened my pace until I was close enough to push the door open. Five pairs of eyes turned to meet mine, all red from the stress. Three of them belonged to alpha David, beta Daniel, and Gamma Darwin. While the other two were the queen’s and a little girl of say eight? David was the first to frown at me. “I thought I told you I would kill you the next time you show your face without being asked?” David asked, frowning as he tucked his hands into his pocke

DAVID As we drove to the palace, the weight of Lillie’s revelation pressed down on me. There was silence. All two of my brothers remained quiet in their cars, while Darla held on to me as though she was scared that if she let go for a second, she would be taken away again.I made a mental note to get a doctor and put her into therapy as soon as I could. I remembered my mother had to see one after she was kidnapped and almost sold away twenty years ago, all because of people like Jace’s and Lillie’s fathers, even my own grandmother! How long would Darkmoon continue to be infiltrated by such disgusting people? Jace, my own cousin, a boy my mother raised as her son, a man my brothers took as a brother, had betrayed us. Was there anyone besides my nuclear family I could trust? The convoy rolled to a halt. I turned to Darla and found her sleeping. Both her arms were wrapped firmly around my left hand as her head rested on my shoulder. A small smile snuck its way into my face. I had
